Central Avenue Nissan in Yonkers, Hyundai of White Plains and White Plains Chrysler Jeep Dodge. “The sport utility business in the first two months of this year is off the charts.”

Grant doesn’t expect the demand for SUVs to be a one-season phenomenon in a county hit by a series of severe storms in recent years.

“I think people are going to think long and hard about living in Westchester and not having a sport utility vehicle. It’s getting really hard,”

oung educated workers are fleeing Westchester’s most exclusive neighborhoods faster than you can say “brain drain,” according to a new housing report.

There is an exodus of adults ages 25 to 34 years old from the most expensive towns in Westchester and New York City’s other suburbs, according to a report from Community Housing Innovations Inc., a fair housing group.

Alexander Roberts, the group’s executive director and author of the report, tied the population shift to the price of housing and lack of affordable units in the county’s more elite communities.

“Think about the fact that zoning is a political and not an economic act,” Roberts wrote in a posting on westfaironline.com, the Business Journal’s website. “If left to the free market, developers would build rental apartments in Scarsdale to meet the demand.”

Rye saw the fastest brain-drain pace, with 63 percent of the 25-to-34 demographic leaving the community since 2000, according to the report. Over the same period, Pound Ridge lost 58 percent, Lewisboro 54 percent and Scarsdale 52 percent. Those communities also experienced heavy losses of its 35- to 44-yearold demographic.

Of the 10 communities with the largest change in that age group, all were named in a 2009 county housing discrimination settlement with the federal government. In that settlement, Westchester agreed to build or obtain 750 affordable housing units in some of its most elite – and least racially diverse –

Stormy weather drives recovering auto market

A STORMY WINTER Of PILING-ON SNOW and ice and slick and slushy roads mined with rim-bending potholes have driven a certain kind of weather-wary buyer to Jonathan Grant’s Central Avenue Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in Yonkers.

“I’m seeing huge demand for sport utilities – unprecedented,” said Grant, who also owns

Nonpareil nonprofits Study cites job and wage clout

BY JENNIFER BISSELL jbissell@westfairinc.com

A

new study shows nonprofits employed more people in 2013 than any other single industry in Westchester County.

According to the results of a highly anticipated report conducted in part by Johns Hopkins, not-for-profit entities employed nearly 54,000 people last year, paying about $2.7 billion in wages. That employment level represents nearly three times as many workers as there are in the county’s finance industry and four times as many as are in manufacturing.

“We’ve always known nonprofits provide many essential services that are critically important,” said Joanna Straub, executive director of Nonprofit Westchester. “Now we know just how vital they are and how much they contribute to Westchester County.”

In an attempt to assert the importance of nonprofits to the Westchester County economy, Nonprofit Westchester announced the results of the $15,000 study recently in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies.

Straub said the study proves the vital role nonprofits play in the county’s economy. Data for the study were collected from federal Form 990 filings and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. The study was paid for by the Westchester County Community Foundation, a nonprofit.

Straub said she hopes more business leaders and government officials will begin to consider nonprofits’ interests more seriously, rather than as an afterthought.

Several times in the past, the sector has been excluded from commissions and closed-door meetings about new initiatives to which it should have been invited, she said.

“We want a seat at the table,” Straub said. “We want to change the mindset surrounding nonprofits.”

The sector represents 13.6 percent of total employment in the county and

contributed the greatest number of new jobs between 2003 and 2013, according to the report. Since 2003, local government employment has shrunk 9.6 percent.

Employment in the for-profit sector has grown only 1.2 percent, compared with 8.4 percent growth in the nonprofit sector.

Much of that growth has come from elementary and secondary education, ambulatory health, nursing homes and colleges and universities.

More than 50 percent of all nonprofit jobs are in health services, 20 percent are in education and 11 percent are in social assistance.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has historically combined all employment data to include both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. As a result, the financial impact nonprofits make has been widely unknown, said Lester M. Salamon, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies.

“You don’t get the respect that you deserve and you don’t get the support you deserve,” Salamon told nonprofit leaders at a press conference in Tarrytown. “(The impact) is there but it’s buried in the data,” he said. “Data systems are the

lens that we see the economy in and unfortunately they’ve been a blur.”

Salamon said he’s helped compile similar reports for at least two other regions that have gone on to use the data to mobilize the nonprofit sector and advocate for stronger support.

While nonprofit employment has grown, the sector still faces stiff competition from the for-profit sector in fields nonprofits have traditionally dominated, Salamon said.

For instance, employment in for-profit social assistance organizations has grown 70 percent in the last 10 years, which is of some concern, he said. Nonprofits are historically more resilient when it comes to funding shortages. Additionally, nonprofits often pay higher wages.

Overall wages, however, are lower in the nonprofit sector than those in local government and for-profit entities, according to the report. Nonprofits tend to concentrate in low-wage fields in the first place, Salamon said. A more accurate comparison of wages must be conducted by industry, he said.

For instance, nonprofit hospitals, on average, pay employees 40 percent more than for-profit hospitals, according to the report. Within social assistance organizations, nonprofits pay nearly 20 percent more.

Following the release of the report, officials at Nonprofit Westchester said they plan to meet with various Westchester leaders in business and government to discuss opportunities to further support nonprofits.

All-Westchester race as Astorino seeks to unseat Cuomo State’s business climate a focus in candidate’s video announcement

BY maRk LuNgaRIELLo mlungariello@westfairinc.com

W

estchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino’s criticisms of New York’s business climate will be a focus in his bid to unseat heavily favored incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

New York is losing jobs to other states and shedding population because of what Astorino called New York’s “crazy cost of living and killer property taxes.”

“Living in New York shouldn’t sound like a prison sentence, but that’s too often what you hear today,” Astorino, a Mount Pleasant resident, said in a video announcing he was seeking the Republican nomination. “‘Three more years and I’m out of here,’” he said. “‘Once the kids finish high school we’re headed south.’”

The 6.5-minute video announcement, posted March 5 to Astorino’s website, robastorino.com, was mostly a formality after the candidate had already created an “Astorino for Governor” committee and hired Michael Lawler, a high-profile GOP executive, to head his "exploratory" team.

A video message is an unusual, though not unprecedented, way to announce a major political candidacy. Its use put Astorino in the position of not holding a press confer-

ence and answering media questions, but rather issuing what was in many respects a lengthy campaign outline that resembled a televised commercial.

“I’m Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino and I’m announcing my candidacy today for governor of New York state because I’m tired of listening to the fairy tale that everything is just great when it’s just the opposite,” he said. “I’m tired of watching New York’s decline.”

Astorino criticized the governor for a lack of a position on hydraulic fracturing, a method of using pressurized liquid to break rocks and mine natural gas. Cuomo, also a Westchester resident, hasn’t taken a stance on the issue since he was first elected in 2010, saying that he won’t make a decision on whether he is in favor or against the method until further studies are conducted.

Astorino said that he was in favor of allowing the fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” which supporters say can economically revitalize upstate regions but continues to be opposed by many residents and environmental groups who fear it poses risks such as groundwater pollution. He also criticized a proposal by Cuomo to offer college education courses to those serving jail sentences.

In the video, Astorino said if elected

he would replace the state’s controversial Common Core educational curriculum, which he called a “disaster.” The candidate said he stood with the parents of charter school students just one day after New York City residents rallied in Albany over city cuts that hindered charter school growth and operation in the five boroughs.

“I’ll have your back,” Astorino said.“We need more charter schools in New York not fewer.”

Astorino is the only Republican candidate to enter the race, although rumors still swirl about interest from billionaire and reality TV star Donald Trump as well as Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino, who lost in a landslide against Cuomo in 2010’s gubernatorial race. Paladino did win a primary election against the Republican Party’s favored candidate that year, Rick Lazio.

Paladino has said publicly he’d only support Astorino if he distanced himself from some state Republican leaders whose views did not jibe with conservative Republican platforms. Astorino is unlikely to criticize two of Paladino’s targets, state party Chairman Ed Cox – who has already donated $27,000 to Astorino’s campaign – and state Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos, who has offered support for Astorino’s candidacy.

Astorino’s announcement likely closes the door on a Trump candidacy. Trump, always considered by party insiders a longshot to follow through on a campaign, said he would only run if there was no competition for the nomination.

The GOP hasn’t won a statewide election since the tenure of former Gov. George Pataki.

Astorino emerged as front-runner for the nomination after handily winning re-election last year as a Republican in Westchester, where Democrats have a nearly two-to-one registration advantage.

Astorino twice won election in Westchester with support from many county business leaders on a platform of reining in spending and curbing property taxes. Though his opponents sought to accentuate his more conservative social views, Astorino often said those issues weren’t relevant in a county race.

In a state race though, issues such as abortion may come into play in a more direct way for the candidate. No pro-life candidate has been elected in New York since the state first legalized abortion.

Astorino also faces an uphill climb in terms of fundraising. Cuomo had $33 million to Astorino’s $1 million, in campaign finances according to filings with the State Boards of Elections.

WCA accepts six into accelerator

BY JENNIFER BISSELL jbissell@westfairinc.com

S

ix early-stage companies recently were accepted into the BLUEPRINT Accelerator Network, allowing a new batch of business owners access to free office space, professional services and mentoring.

Hoping to jumpstart the next Regeneron Pharmaceuticals or PepsiCo, the Westchester County Association launched the initiative a year ago by calling on the area’s landlords, lawyers, accountants and marketers to offer their services to entrepreneurs free of charge.

Rather than spend money on rent, for instance, program participants can invest their money in hiring new employees or in product development to accelerate their growth.

With more than 35 partners in real estate, banking and professional services, the WCA hopes to initially support 25 to 30 startups every year. Ten regional banks have also set aside $250 million in debt financing for those that qualify.

“We’re looking to help accelerate existing businesses,” said William Mooney Jr., WCA president. “This will bring in new companies and let others know this is a good place to do business.”

The six new companies initiated into the

program are Lola Granola Bar, a Bedford Hills organic granola company; Mobile Health One, a digital health care platform; Nuvita, an online employee wellness program; Sternbach & Rose, a Valhalla accounting firm; W@tercooler, a Tarrytown coworking space, and Yonkers Brewing Co. In order to participate in the program, David Crane of Mobile Health One said he even plans to relocate his Long Island-based company to Westchester County.

All companies accepted into the network must agree to remain in the county for at least five years after “graduating” from the program. Crane said the resources available for entrepreneurs in Long Island “aren’t anywhere near” the amount in Westchester. He estimates he’ll save up to $100,000 on rent alone – enough to hire one or two people.

As a bonus, the move will also land the company closer to two of its biggest clients, White Plains Hospital and Scarsdale Medical Center.

“Rent is the last thing I want to spend money on,” Crane said. “This allows me to spend money on something that adds value for customers.”

With an estimated 6 million square feet of vacant office space in Westchester, the initiative aims to both immediately fill empty space and to generate a future demand for real estate.

In leases negotiated with a landlord, businesses enjoy one year of free rent followed by a second year of rent 50 percent off market rate. The remainder of the lease term is then set at market rate.

So far at least nine office building owners have joined the initiative: BioMed

Realty; GHP Office Realty; Heritage Realty; Heyman Properties; Mack-Cali Realty Corp.; Normandy Real Estate Partners; Reckson, a division of SL Green Realty Corp.; RPW Group; and Silverman Realty.

Christian Wielage, CEO of PlanGuru, the first company accepted into the network, said he could confidently say his software company in White Plains wouldn’t be where it is today without the accelerator’s help over the last year.

This month Wielage plans to launch a new product. Since joining the network, his customer base has grown 50 percent, he said. The company sells financial forecasting and performance review software for small businesses.

“Without the accelerator, we’d still be home-based,” Wielage said. “We’d have the same products but not the team and infrastructure in place to take the company to the next level.”

In addition to free office space in downtown White Plains, compliments of Reckson, Wielage said he greatly benefited from the free accounting and legal services which helped him structure a round of Series A financing. Harrison Edwards Inc. also helped with public relations and marketing.

“The savings have helped me hire at least three to four people,” Wielage said. “And it has absolutely translated into that.”

communities. The majority of those units were required to be built in municipalities whose populations were fewer than 3 percent black and 7 percent Hispanic.

The report, released Feb. 26, tied the population shift to the price of housing and lack of affordable units in the communities. Those communities have been criticized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for zoning that favors construction of single-family homes, though officials from the municipalities and Westchester County have contended their zoning is not exclusionary.

Roberts defined affordable as being priced for for a family of four with a household income of $86,000 and said that Scarsdale, as an example, had not provided any affordable housing in the 20 years since the adoption of Westchester’s initial Housing Allocation Plan. That plan, approved by a housing commission, sought to build 5,000 units over 10 years with a portion allotted fairly to each community. Scarsdale, Roberts said, was to have received 160 of those units for countywide needs.

“It would not be catastrophic if Scarsdale zoned 3 percent of their land for affordable rentals or condos, which would more than meet the need and fulfill their duty to the larger community,” he said.

The county’s more integrated communities, meanwhile, experienced less drastic

declines in their youth populations and in some cases actually saw growth in recent years. Peekskill saw an 8 percent increase in the 25 to 34 age group and White Plains saw a 6 percent increase in that same demographic.

Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, said that although youth flight is and has long been a concern of businesses, the group’s own polling and studies have shown that young people do want to live in Westchester but are more attracted to its urban centers. So-called millennials – those born in 1980 and later – are less likely to be married or have children in their 30s, and many prefer walkable cities such as White Plains, where nightlife, restaurants and the Metro-North Railroad are in walking distance of their condos or apartments.

Gordon said the business council has been looking to identify growth areas for mixed-use housing in areas like White Plains and Port Chester. A recent council study identified the village of Ossining as a community that could redevelop the area around its train station to attract young professionals.

“There are so many positive attributes of Westchester County that need to be focused on,” she said.

The study used data from the American Community Survey on PolicyMap.com.

Westchester saw a countywide 12.83 percent loss in its 25 to 34 age group, which was slightly less than Suffolk and Nassau counties, with 12.74 percent and 12.74 percent losses, respectively.

he said.

Auto shoppers’ severe weather concerns could combine with relatively low prices at the gas pump this year to slow demand for compact cars.

“Gas prices being as low as they are, I don’t think it’s helped the smaller car market,” Grant said. “When gas is as lowpriced and as plentiful as it is now, I think that puts a crimp in the small car market.”

Like other dealers in the county and nationwide, Grant suffered through the worst of times in the auto industry in 2008 and 2009, when sales dropped 50 percent at his dealerships over an 18-month period.

“In my 25 years doing this, it was the most difficult experience I went through.”

Since then, though, “We’ve recovered nicely. It’s been an upswing every year since then.”

Business in 2013 “was good,” he said.

“We were up about 25 percent over the previous year.”

Dealers in metropolitan New York – including the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland counties – saw a 6 percent increase in sales of cars and light trucks in 2013, according to data from R.L. Polk & Co. released by the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association. The downstate increase, though, was below the pace of national sales in 2013, which rose 9 percent from 2012, Polk reported. Sales in the metro area in 2012 rose nearly 12 percent from 2011, nearly double the sales volume increase of 2013.

Metro buyers increasingly are leaving dealer lots in new pickup trucks and SUVs. While car sales grew by 2.1 percent in the region last year, sales of light trucks rose 10.7 percent and accounted for nearly 48 percent of the 489,700 retail vehicles sold here.

Japanese auto brands accounted for half of all sales in the metro area in 2013.

The 244,302 Japanese vehicles sold here was a 4.8 percent increase from 2012.

Mazda, with 7,727 new cars registered at Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the metro region in 2013, saw sales rise by more than 24 percent for the year. Subaru sales in the region rose nearly 20 percent last year.

U.S. auto brands grabbed a 24 percent share of the metro market in 2013, when purchases of Detroit’s Big Three models jumped 15 percent in New York auto dealers’ showrooms.

European brands accounted for 19 percent of the metro auto market in 2013, with sales up 6.4 percent in the area from 2012.

BMW and Audi led the European field in metro showrooms with sales increases for the year of 16.4 percent and 9.9 percent,

respectively.

Only Korean autos lost popularity with metro auto buyers in 2013, with sales dropping more than 10 percent from 2012.

Sales of Hyundai models dropped nearly 14 percent from the previous year.

In Westchester, Grant’s U.S. auto dealerships profited from the light-truck trend and a wave of renewed popularity for Chrysler and Dodge brands.

Chrysler sales in the metro area increased 34 percent in 2013, while Dodge sales jumped 47.5 percent, the largest increase in the region for all gas-fueled vehicles. California-based Tesla Motors Inc. sold 569 electric cars in the region last year, a nearly 2,089 percent increase from 2012.

“The sport utility business in the first two months of this year is off the charts.”

— Jonathan Grant

Metropolitan sales of Chrysler’s Ram trucks jumped nearly 44 percent last year.

Sales of GMC trucks and SUVs rose nearly 36 percent.

In the luxury market, 993 new Jaguar owners registered at metro DMV offices last year, a nearly 45 percent increase from 2012. General Motors Co.’s Cadillac division saw a nearly 19 percent increase in metro sales last year.

With 7,028 new cars sold in the region, Cadillac still chugged well behind foreign luxury brands popular with urban and suburban New Yorkers. Mercedes added 28,444 new owners in the region last year, up nearly 8 percent from 2012. Toyota’s Lexus luxury line notched 16,259 sales on dealer floors in 2013, up more than 12 percent.

At the start of a long, rugged winter, metro auto dealers saw an overall 12 percent drop in sales in December. That chilly performance was followed in January by an estimated 5 percent drop in the regional market from a year earlier, according to the market research firm Auto Outlook.

The market for new autos is expected to pick up in 2014, although industry analysts predict sales growth again will be slower than the previous year’s.

For the metropolitan market, analysts at Polk predict a 3.9 percent improvement in 2014.

DEALS &DEEDS

Chinese buyer snaps up Ossining condos

An international investor from China paid $2.9 million for 19 unsold units in Ossining’s Orchid Condominium building in a bulk real estate owned or REO sale, said John Barrett, head of investment sales at Admiral Real Estate Services Corp. in Bronxville.

The sale price amounted to approximately $125 per square foot for 17 residential condos and two ground-floor commercial units in the redeveloped building at 73 Spring St. The remaining nine units in the luxury property were sold at auction in 2010 by the original developer, Lionheart Enterprises Ltd. The recent seller was nonprofit lender Community Preservation Corp.

Barrett in a press release said the property had been neglected until Community Preservation Corp. took the deed from the developer in 2012 and chose Barhite & Holzinger Inc., the Bronxville-based property management company, as managing agent. “Barhite stabilized the asset and strengthened the condo association, so that the remaining 19 units were marketable and attracted significant interest,” Barrett said.

The Admiral broker said the REO property drew “significant interest” from potential buyers from Westchester and the entire metropolitan area.

“The ultimate buyer was originally looking to invest in Manhattan but found cap rates there to be too low,” he said.

“As the condominium market in Ossining gets more robust, there is significant upside for the buyer if he opts to sell the units on an individual basis,” Barrett said.

Six leases signed

by Malkin company

Empire State Realty Trust Inc., formerly Malkin Properties, recently announced two new office lease deals and four renewals at its class A office buildings in Westchester.

At 10 Bank St. in the White Plains central business district, NuEnergen L.L.C.,

an energy-consulting firm, relocated its headquarters from 50 Main St. to a 3,435-square-foot space. Broker Richard Goldstein, of Goldstein & Associates Realty Inc. in White Plains, represented the tenant.

Kumon North America signed a new five-year lease for 1,445 square feet of office space at 10 Bank St. The tenant was represented by CBRE Inc. Rabar Market Research Inc., an investment management firm, inked a renewal for its 4,147-square-foot space at 10 Bank St. The firm was represented by broker Michael McCall of CBRE’s Stamford, Conn. office.

At 500 Mamaroneck Ave. in Harrison, Empire State Realty Trust signed Case Paper Co. to a 10-year lease extension for its 4,718-square-foot headquarters.

Craig S. Ruoff of Rakow Commercial Realty Group Inc. brokered the deal for the tenant.

Other tenants renewing leases at

500 Mamaroneck Ave. were CoKinetic Systems, an in-flight entertainment software company, for its 4,668-square-foot headquarters, and C.H.O. Enterprises, a financial services firm, for its 1,538-square-foot office.

Jeffrey H. Newman, senior vice president of Empire State Realty Trust, represented the landlord in the transactions along with senior leasing associate Kimberly Zaccagnino and leasing associate Tara Long.

Yonkers business park move

Micromold Products Inc., a manufacturer of plastic products for process industries, has relocated to larger space within Mack-Cali Realty’s South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers.

The 64-year-old company has leased 12,991 square feet of space at 7 Odell Plaza, said Howard E. Greenberg, president of Howard Properties Ltd. in White

A space at the Ritz

Mary Jane Denzer, the high-end women’s fashion business, plans to relocate its downtown White Plains store to the Ritz-Carlton, Westchester complex in late spring or early summer this year.

The 34-year-old company will occupy a 5,000-square-foot retail space at 7 Renaissance Square designed by Brand + Allen Architects Inc.

Yonkers to create energy plan

BY JENNIFER BISSELL jbissell@westfairinc.com

A

s part of the statewide effort to reduce energy consumption, Yonkers is one of five cities to create a new energy master plan in partnership with the New York Power Authority.

Following a baseline assessment of how the city uses its energy, city officials plan to announce new goals and strategies this fall on how to reduce energy use and promote sustainability.

“Energy, water and waste disposal prices have increased dramatically in recent years,” said Brad Tito, Yonkers director of sustainability. “By improving our efficiency, we can improve the bottom line and drive economic development.”

Coordinated by the New York Power Authority, the five cities participating in the

program will review their individual energy purchases, infrastructure, efficiency of buildings and transportation fleet. Besides Yonkers, the cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse will participate in program.

In 2012, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo appointed the Power Authority to lead the Build Smart NY initiative, which aims to reduce the energy used in state facilities by 20 percent by 2020.

Since then, city officials have rallied to support the governor’s order, but in some respects Yonkers has been already ahead of the curve, Tito said.

Since Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano took office in 2011, Tito said the city has instituted several energy efficiency improvements, ranging from new street lights to street cars.

The city has already reduced its carbon footprint by 12 percent. But with more than 100 city-owned building producing a $12 million

energy bill, Tito said the city recognized more in reducing the size of the city’s transportawork was needed. tion fleet and purchasing more fuel efficient “The city comes to this new plan with a cars. Officials also pursued a measure to lot already accomplished,” Tito said. “But if replace street lamp light bulbs with LED we’re going to address the challenges we face, lights, which Tito said would save the city $18 all levels of government and the private sec- million over 10 years. tor will need to collaborate. That’s why this master plan is so important.”

Tito said the city has little control over “By improving what energy sources it can use, but it could our efficiency, we make real adjustments in terms of how it uses energy. Currently, the master plan is at a very can improve the conceptual stage and any suggestion can be bottom line and brought to the table, Tito said. drive economic The hardest part of the plan, he said, will development” be compiling all the ways the city uses its energy and then analyzing where the greatest – Brad Tito, savings can be made.

At that time, officials saw the greatest savings Tito said the city planned to hold several public meetings to seek input on the plan as ideas and drafts are released. The Power Authority has also created a website seeking public input on ways to reduce consumption.

“If we want to drive economic development in a post-industrial era, we need to build healthy, attractive 2.25" places,” Tito said.

“That’s the kind of city people are looking to live and work in.”

Cloud computing: To tax or not to tax

By Sandy Weinberg

I

t is no surprise that state tax departments are scrambling to define their positions regarding sales taxation of cloud computing software and services. States often are behind the curve when trying to keep up with market or technology changes. For example, as the U.S. began shifting to a service economy, sales tax laws, originally addressing tangible personal property sales, lagged behind in providing guidance regarding the sales of services. Many states’ lists of taxable services are still being updated.

use prewritten software. (N.Y. Department of Taxation and Finance, TSB-A-11(17)S (June 1, 2011). In short, it appears that New York subjects cloud computing sales to sales tax.

However, a position may exist that a particular transaction is not subject to sales tax in New York. First, cloud computing services are not enumerated taxable services.

Therefore, the question becomes whether the taxpayer is paying for a software license or a service. Second, New York tax law requires that there be a transfer of possession or con-

trol for a customer to receive a taxable license of software. As a result, a position exists that many cloud computing transactions do not transfer the needed possession or control, and are not subject to New York sales tax.

Therefore, taxpayers may want to negotiate a slightly different cloud computing agreement or scrutinize their cloud computing transactions in greater detail prior to conceding that all cloud computing sales are subject to New York sales tax.

In a number of states, as in New York, the facts at issue may change a conclusion since a

particular transaction may not fit squarely within, or without, the state’s published guidance.

Sandy Weinberg is a principal of O’Connor Davies L.L.P. and leads the firm’s state and local tax practice, as well as the tax credit and incentive practice.

He can be reached at sweinberg@odpkf.com or (203) 323-2400.

Taxpayers may want to negotiate a slightly different cloud computing agreement or scrutinize their cloud computing transactions in greater detail prior to conceding that all cloud computing sales are subject to New York sales tax.

States are now forming positions regarding the sales tax treatment of cloud computing, and not all states agree. Generally, cloud computing occurs when customers use software that is hosted by a seller that owns, operates, and maintains the software. The software is not transferred (through tangible or digital media) to the buyer as it is typically housed on the seller’s servers. Customers do not have the right to download, copy, or modify the software. Rather, they merely receive access to the software.

New Jersey and New York are far apart with respect to sales and use-tax treatment of cloud computing sales.

New Jersey generally defines taxable tangible personal property to include prewritten software delivered electronically. However, the New Jersey Division of Taxation stated that because a retailer does not transfer any software to its customers, cloud computing transactions do not fit within New Jersey’s definition of tangible personal property or enumerated taxable service. (N.J. Division of Taxation Tech. Bulletin TB-72 July 3, 2013).

As a result, New Jersey does not impose sales tax on cloud computing sales.

New York, on the other hand, treats cloud computing transactions differently. The New York Department of Taxation and Finance issued an advisory opinion that cloud computing sales are taxable licenses to remotely

Predicting your business’ future You’ve talked about needing to see two to three years into the future. I don’t know what’s in my company’s pipeline, but even if I did know, I don’t see how that would help me figure out a forecast that looks more than a few months ahead. I can’t predict the future. How do you suggest I tackle this issue?

Thoughts of the Day: Forecasting is an essential part of any well-run business. It takes lots of practice to get good at it. Forecasts that look two to three years ahead are a blend of historical performance and intention.

Every business needs to grow. The challenge is in knowing if you’re going to be on or off track. Advance warning equals opportunity to tackle problems before they turn into major headaches.

Most business owners can be very creative and solution driven if they know there’s an upcoming snag. Gaining advance notice is where forecasting can become a business owner’s best friend.

In the beginning it’s normal to feel quite

10 March 10, 2014 • WCBJ • HV Biz

uncomfortable with forecasting. You’ll be taking educated guesses. Chances are good the guesses might be wrong. Trial and error is a necessary part of the learning process.

To increase accuracy, try smaller guesses.

Break revenue down into subcomponents – categories of customers that buy categories of goods or services. Try whatever revenue subdivision makes the most sense to you.

Forecasting can take advantage of both the past and the future. For each revenue category, look at historical trends. What’s declining and what’s picking up?

Ask employees, vendors and customers to provide their thoughts on what might be going up or down. Estimate how current categories of sales might change in the upcoming years.

Lay out the company’s overall growth goals. Planning on doubling in five to seven years? Calculate 10 percent to 15 percent year-over-year revenue growth. Whatever you do, plan on at least 8 percent growth in order to stay ahead of inflation and losses.

Compare overall goal predictions based on historical trends. Got a gap between what’s expected and what’s needed? No surprise there.

At some point every business maxes out

what it can do with existing resources. Ignore the problem and risk big revenue dips. Savvy business owners start brainstorming solutions as soon as they see a potential problem.

There are lots of ways to build toward meeting or beating a forecast. Here are just a few ideas: n raise prices; n buy another business; n add sales people; n invest in sales training to improve performance; n boost commitment to proven marketing programs; n launch a well-tested new product or service; n go after a list of previously untapped or unsuccessful prospects; n branch out geographically; n hold a sale for equipment or services nearing obsolescence; and n offer teaser rates to interest new buyers.

Pick the ideas that make the most sense to try in your business. Assign someone to oversee each idea you intend to test. Get a plan written on how to roll out each idea, with a guesstimate on the kind of outcomes you’d like to see as a result.

ask andi by andi gray

Keep going with the ideas that get traction. Reassess, reformat or dump the ones that don’t perform to expectation. Keep at it until you’re confident you can fill the gap between revenue needed to meet goal and revenue likely to come from current sales.

Go through multiple rounds of forecasting, assessing what’s realistic and brainstorming solutions to fill gaps. Success spotting problems and brainstorming solutions will boost everyone’s confidence that you can get ahead of the problems and turn a forecast full of guesses into reality.

How to script effective video content

B

eing an expert on content, I frequently critique webinars, videos and websites.

I frequently find key aspects that are missing or so muted that they undermine the effectiveness of the original intent. So when two of my friends recently asked me to critique their videos, I was not surprised that their videos were similarly lacking.

With Netflix and Youtube being responsible for 50 percent of download bandwidth, the presence of video and webinars in marketing strategies is increasingly important.

One video looked very amateurish and appeared to be shot with a webcam.

Although the speaker constantly smiled toward the camera – which can be a positive if not overdone, her message was not clear or focused. The other video from my friend who owns a window and glass door service company was more on point. It focused on some of the common problems doors can have when not installed properly. The problem with her video was its length and that it was only toward the end of the video when she made her main point to her audience.

According to Comscore Video Metrix, U.S. consumers watched nearly 50 billion videos online in January. This astounding number is in addition to 27 billion viewed video advertisements. Furthermore, with Netflix and Youtube being responsible for 50 percent of download bandwidth, the presence of video and webinars in marketing strategies is increasingly important.

So, here are some key considerations to keep in mind when you script your videos and webinars that will improve your number of viewers and results. n Keep it simple. Think KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Can you write your message in one or two sentences? If not, start rethinking it. And when you are happy with it, give it to someone who knows nothing about what you do. If they can understand it, so will your target market. n Make sure your audience understands the purpose of your video (i.e. your message) in the first 20 seconds of your video. (Okay, you can probably go 30 seconds before they start to leave but why chance it?) n Talk to your audience. Converse with them. Have a normal conversation with

them. Although people who watch webinars and videos want to be entertained, they also want to be treated well. Remember, this is your target audience who deserves the utmost respect – and expects it. n Sell one thing. It doesn’t matter if you’re discussing your services, a product, how to do something or a solution to a problem. Focus on only one element. Otherwise, you will dilute your message and confuse your audience. It’s much easier and more effective to make multiple videos, instead of one long video. Not only do you keep to the one-message-to-one-video paradigm, but you now have multiple chances to stay in front of your target audience. n Create a script that you have tested, reworked and practiced (at least five times).

Often when people are speaking, they pause

social media trends

by bruce newman

or emit the sound “um.” They rarely realize they are doing this, particularly when they are speaking without a script. Similarly, people believe that they know their subject matter sufficiently that they can adlib a video.

They probably do know the former but they certainly can’t do the latter. It usually sounds terrible and their message is muted. Such was the case with one of the videos I mentioned above. Write out your entire script and rewrite it when necessary. And then practice, practice, practice – just like almost every actor. nAlways include a call to action (CTA).

Every webinar and video (and arguably a website) should have a CTA. Otherwise, why do any of them? Make sure your CTA is clear and concise. For videos and webinars, you should also include the text within the pre-

sentation itself.

Both videos and webinars can be amazingly effective. However, to be successful, they require much thought and planning.

With the increasing number of viewers and videos being viewed, just using a webcam or an unnecessarily long video is no longer acceptable.

Most of his time is spent in the creation of content for webinars and their promotion, email marketing, education and social media campaigns for clients.

COuntY airpOrt seeks new baggage handler OperatOr

After nearly 30 years spent managing the Westchester County Airport’s baggage handling, Jacqueline Piper will be retiring in May, closing her company Ground Handling Inc. Some 128 employees will be officially laid off late May when Piper’s contract with the airport ends. However, Airport Manager Peter Scherrer said it was likely the airport’s new vendor would offer many of those same workers jobs.

Scherrer said he is in negotiations for a new vendor, which would handle luggage as well as parking, cleaning and towing the airplanes. The airport only uses one vendor for the job.

Piper said she is not privy to the airport’s negotiations, but is “hopeful that the employees who want to remain will be able to.”

“We don’t really know what the outcome will be, but we think it will be a positive one,” she said.

Piper said her children weren’t interested in taking over the family business.

As a result, she and her husband, who also works for the company, will simply close it down. They don’t have any plans for retirement.

“It’s been a very positive experience with the airlines as well as the county,” Piper said. “We've been here for a lot of years. It’s time. We’ll be shutting down the company and retiring.”

CYberseCuritY event at fOrdhaM westChester

Fordham University’s Westchester campus will be the site of a March 11 launch in the metropolitan area of a White House initiative on cybersecurity.

Titled “Reducing the Nation’s Cyber Risk: White House Insights on the President’s Critical Infrastructure Framework,” the breakfast event will feature a panel discussion and keynote address from Samara Moore, White House director for cybersecurity critical infrastructure protection.

The Fordham School of Professional and Continuing Studies and the computer and information sciences department will host the event from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at 400 Westchester Ave. in the town of Harrison and on the Fordham Lincoln Center campus. Similar events will take place at Columbia and New York universities.

Among the panelists will be Fordham's frank Hsu, professor of computer and information science. Other panelists include: • Jon Boyens, senior advisor, information security, Information Technology Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Department of Commerce.

• Bob Kolasky, director of strategy and policy, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

• Doug Wylie, director, Product Security Risk Management, Rockwell Automation.

• David J. Youssef, cyber incident investigator, Citigroup; teaching fellow, Fordham department of computer and information sciences.

The panel will be moderated by Michael Coden, vice president of the New York Section of ISA99 Cyber Security Standard Working Group and vice president at NextNine.

Coden said panelists will address how President Obama's new cybersecurity framework will affect nearly all industries, including energy, finance, health care, communications, transportation, water, chemicals, IT, defense, manufacturing, and nuclear weaponry. “And lawyers,” said Coden. “This will be big business for the legal profession.”

tappan zee bridge raMp tO ClOse MarCh 10

The southbound entrance ramp from Route 9 to the Tappan Zee Bridge in Tarrytown will be closed to traffic beginning March 10 as construction on the new bridge continues over the next four years.

Commuters saw heavy traffic delays when the ramp initially closed in December.

However, transportation officials said the closing will not have a significant impact on traffic.

The delays in December, they said, were caused by a combination of events, including multiple accidents, a car fire, snowy weather and emergency repairs on the George Washington Bridge, which diverted traffic to the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Drivers who wish to use the ramp, known as Ramp E, will be directed to a Route 119 “jug handle” immediately after the ramp for a different entrance onto the bridge. It has been used several times before.

Once the ramp is closed, it will be used for construction access, staging and equipment storage in an effort to reduce congestion on local roadways.

INBRIEF New business helps patients back home

A newly launched health care services company in the Hudson Valley will provide transitional care management and care coordination services to patients discharged from Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown.

The agreement with the Orange County hospital was announced by Dr. Virginia Feldman, founding president and CEO of Nexus Health Resources L.L.C. in Middletown. Her company, formed in response to the Affordable Care Act and the nation’s changing health care delivery models, also offers management services for medical practices and educational services.

Feldman said Nexus Health Resources will work with the regional hospital’s discharged Medicare patients who have diagnoses of congestive heart failure and pneumonia.

In a press release she said Nexus Health Resources was created to provide hospitals, medical practices and skilled nursing facilities with the administrative support they need to reduce 30-day hospital readmission rates and the resulting financial penalties imposed by ACA provisions.

The Nexus care coordinator engages the patient and his or her family during hospitalization, collaborates with the hospital’s discharge staff and provides the support network the patient needs during the critical 30-day post-hospitalization period.

Yonkers banker heads state group

Members of the New York Bankers Association have elected Westchester County banker James J. Landy as chairman of the group’s board of directors in 2014.

Landy is executive chairman of Hudson Valley Bank N.A. in Yonkers and previously served more than 11 years as its president and CEO. He has been employed by Hudson Valley Bank since 1977, five years after the independently owned commercial bank was founded in Yonkers.

Landy is a director of Sacred Heart Housing Corp., a senior citizen housing company in Yonkers, and chairman of St. Joseph's Medical Center in Yonkers.

Defenders Netflix series to bring 3,000 jobs

This summer, Marvel Comics' superhero supergroup The Defenders – Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist – will be creating the one thing New Yorkers can't get enough of: jobs.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced The Walt Disney Co. and Marvel will begin filming several Defenders Netflix series in New York this summer, creating at least 3,000 jobs. The commitment represents the largest film or TV production project in the state's history, the governor's office said, with 52 one-hour episodes scheduled in total.

"When the entertainment industry thrives, it fuels dozens of other industries and businesses," Cuomo said in a press release.

"The competition for these projects is fierce and Disney could have chosen to film these shows anywhere, but they knew that shooting in New York means getting to work with the best in world. These shows bring New York’s superheroes home where they belong – along with hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in new business."

Netflix plans to create one season of 13 episodes for each of the "flawed heroes of Hell’s Kitchen," followed by a mini-series event in which the four characters team up as The Defenders.

In 2013, an estimated $477 million in tax credits spurred $2.11 billion in spending by the film industry, according to Cuomo's administration.

NBA D-League team may call County Center home

A low-level team affiliated with the New York Knicks would play its home games in Westchester if the county OKs a tentative deal with Madison Square Garden Co. The team would be an NBA D-League expansion or relocation franchise that would play 24 games of its 50-game season at the Westchester County Center between November and April, with the possibility of up to six playoff games in April. The D-League is a development league of 17 teams whose rosters include players trying to move their way up to the big clubs.

If the deal is approved by the county Board of Legislators, Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino said, a formal licensing agreement would be signed between the county and MSG. The plan would then need NBA approval.

“Westchester loves basketball at every level and this agreement would bring professional basketball to the county,” Astorino said.

Astorino said the tentative agreement would be for five years, with the company having an option to renew for five additional years. The agreement would see MSG pay the county a set fee for any games and additional costs associated with preparing the arena for games. Astorino said between ticket sales, parking, food, merchandise and advertising, the county could expect anywhere between $48,000 and $288,000 per season.

SPECIAL REPORT Accounting

McGladrey combines global scope and local focus

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

I

n a picture-paints-a-thousand-words moment, Anthony D. Ceci Jr., office managing partner for McGladrey in Connecticut, cited a client that owns 30 to 40 national and international companies.

Different states. Different countries.

Different tax codes. Different laws. Account must be taken and attention must be paid.

“We have dozens of partners on that particular account,” Ceci said.

McGladrey’s Stamford and New Haven offices employ 200, who are in turn part of 6,700 employees at 75 McGladrey offices nationally. Beyond that, McGladrey is the “M” in RSM International, the company’s global arm.

Services on such a scale would seem to beg trouble. McGladrey’s work for clients is guided and codified via “client service coordinators.”

“That’s the beauty of McGladrey. With divisions all over the world, it’s very easy to work with our brothers and sisters to get things accomplished.”

As for the lead-up to April 15, Ceci defused the notion of the frazzled, pencilgnawing accountant. “We are busier this time of year, no doubt about it,” he said. But more than a frantic season, he explained, there is a peak for tax activity. Other projects and lines of business produce their own peaks – all part of a cycle and of a company ethos that, Ceci said, respects employees and their time and nurtures local roots.

McGladrey supports myriad charities.

A McGladrey-sponsored PGA Tour event at Sea Island, Ga., that began in 2010 has to date funneled more than $800,000 through McGladrey offices into local charities.

McGladrey clients might include midmarket companies (roughly $10 million to $1 billion in annual revenues), high-networth individuals, private equity groups and other companies. These entities, in turn, may own other companies or, in the case of a business, have divisions, perhaps based in other states, perhaps based overseas. The complexities of McGladrey’s services – tax, assurance and consulting – are self-evident.

“All of our service offerings are very integrated,” said Ernest J. Nedder, tax leader for

McGladrey’s Peter Pfeiffer, Tony Ceci and E.J. Nedder.

the Northeast for McGladrey.

Nedder, a CPA with 18 years at McGladrey, also addressed the perception of the pre-April 15 weeks in his industry as ones of sleeplessness and stress.

“For most firms, it’s about heads down and compliance. For us there’s a lot of forward thinking and work about the coming year.”

Ceci, who goes by Tony, is 62. Nedder, 43, is called E.J. They, along with 54-year-old Peter A.S. Pfeiffer, McGladrey regional business leader, sat recently in the company office on Canal Street in Stamford to field questions about tax season – under control, by all accounts – and company culture.

Ceci had recently attended a conference for McGladrey's Delaware-to-Boston Northeast region that drew 1,500 employees.

“The most important thing that came out of that meeting was that in the local market it is vital to mentor and educate and spend time with our people,” he said. “We really care about our people; they’re our biggest asset.”

Ceci, Nedder and Pfeiffer in turn highlighted the fluidity and availability of McGladrey's expertise.

“We’re completely integrated globally, yet we're heavily invested in the community, too,” Pfeiffer said. “Our employees are mentored locally, but we can pull resources in from Singapore.” He called the mix of local touch and global entity “a game-changer within the market.”

For all its obvious scale and scope, McGladrey is at its core a local company.

Pfeiffer lives near the site of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and he spoke of McGladrey's contributions toward the healing. All three men stressed local roots, none deeper than Ceci.

Ceci was a principal in regional tax-andaccounting firm Messina, Ceci, Archer & Co. The firm was already big – 75 employees – and sought-after by other outfits when it merged into McGladrey in 2001. Yet, said Ceci, “We considered ourselves McGladrey the first day we merged.” Negotiations lead-

ing to the merger lasted some two years.

“A lot of thought went into it,” Ceci said.

“The end result, what mattered most, was how McGladrey cared about their people and how they served their midmarket clients. We did not lose one employee or client with the merge. It was a perfect fit.”

Nedder, whose tenure at McGladrey predates Ceci's arrival, concurred, saying, “The merger has been tremendous for McGladrey.”

Both Nedder and Ceci have served on McGladrey's national board of directors and served on national committees. Nedder remains on the company's national Tax Leadership Team.

Pfeiffer said the company is heavily invested in technology: both assessing needs and working with vendors. “A lot of what we do and one of our fastest-growing areas is consulting,” he said. “Our technical services enable a company to get to the next level.

That ability to grow, to leave a lasting legacy in the marketplace – that's what's magical about McGladrey. We are trusted advisers.”

Accounting

Private company alternative: Accounting for goodwill

By John Haslbauer

A

ccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-02, Accounting for Goodwill, was recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The ASU provides a simplified amortization alternative for private companies that can be used in accounting for goodwill. The alternative can only be used by private companies; it is not permitted for public business entities (those companies filing financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission or those whose financial statements are included in another entity’s SEC filing) or by notfor-profit entities or employee benefit plans.

The option allows private companies to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis

over a period of 10 years, or a shorter period if the reporting entity can demonstrate that a shorter useful life is deemed appropriate.

Prior to the issuance of the ASU, amortization was not permitted under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Testing for impairment An entity that elects this alternative must also elect whether to test goodwill for impairment at the entity level or the reporting unit level. Under this alternative, goodwill is tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event indicating that the fair value of the entity (or reporting unit) might be less than its carrying value. Accordingly, entities electing this accounting alternative will not always need to test goodwill for impairment

on an annual basis.

If a triggering event occurs, private companies still have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether quantitative impairment testing is needed.

If quantitative impairment testing is needed, a one-step impairment test is provided so that the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the entity or reporting unit, as applicable, and its fair value so that use of the hypothetical purchase price approach is no longer required. This simplified test should reduce the time and effort involved in impairment testing for private companies.

Choosing to use If this accounting alternative is elected, it

must be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2014, with early implementation permitted.

Private companies electing this alternative should begin amortizing existing goodwill as of the beginning of the reporting period where the accounting alternative is adopted.

A private company with a 2013 calendar or earlier year-end is permitted to elect the goodwill alternative, provided its financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.

The ASU provides a simplified amortization alternative for private companies that can be used in accounting for goodwill.

Financial disclosure A private company electing this accounting alternative is required to present in its financial statements certain line items, including aggregate net amount of goodwill on the balance sheet; amortization and aggregate amount of goodwill impairment within continuing operations on the income statement; amortization and goodwill impairment related to discontinued operations, if applicable. This accounting alternative provides disclosure guidance in the following three areas: annual financial statements; periods in which there are additions to goodwill,; and periods in which a goodwill impairment is recognized.

Decision considerations In deciding whether or not your private company should elect this accounting option for goodwill amortization, consideration, among other matters, should be given to the company’s future plans. Prior to making such a decision, an entity should ensure that its investors, lenders and others will agree to accept financial statements that reflect the application of electing goodwill amortization.

athi Mettler, an international tax expert and seasoned executive at Big Four public accounting firms, has been named director of learning and education at WTP Advisors, a global tax and business advisory firm headquartered in White Plains. She also will help develop the women’s group at WTP. Mettler, an assistant professor of the practice at Fairfield University, previously led the international tax learning and education program at PricewaterhouseCoopers L.L.P., where she was a director in the international tax services group at its Stamford, Conn., and Chicago offices. She previously was a manager in the Chicago and Boston offices of Ernst & Young L.L.P. At WTP, Mettler will develop a new curriculum for professional staff that all tax associates will complete. Unlike previous training, the curriculum will be activitybased instead of lecture-based and will follow the life cycle of how a typical client grows its business and expands.

In addition to teaching, Mettler will also engage in client service projects and business development.

WTP executives also plan to tap Metler’s experience running the Women’s Network Circle in the Stamford office of PriceWaterhouse, where she promoted collaboration, support and acceleration of women in leadership positions.

“Today, women account for more than 50 percent of all college graduates,” Mettler said in a press release. “The glass ceiling is crumbling. There are still roadblocks but every woman should operate as if everything is possible, and I’m proud that WTP is focused on ensuring the firm is a place where women can succeed at the highest levels.”

A spokesperson for WTP Advisors said the firm recently unveiled new policies to enhance the work-life balance for female employees, including unlimited vacation dates and unlimited maternity and paternity days.

Michael Minihan, co-founder and partner at WTP Advisors, called Mettler “the perfect choice to head our training programs.”

Mettler, a frequent speaker on international tax topics, is treasurer of the Westchester-Connecticut regional chapter of International Fiscal Association USA.

CPA practice continuity agreements: Who will fill your shoes?

By Peter Larkin and Thomas Manisero

I

f you become disabled or die tomorrow, what would happen to your accounting practice? Could your family step in and run the practice? Could your executor sell your practice quickly enough to secure any value for your family? The most likely answer to these questions is “no” if you do not already have a plan in place.

A 2012 survey of CPA solo practitioners suggests that more than 95 percent of “solos” cannot answer “yes” to any of those questions. The survey results are not much better for multi-owner firms. Yet, an accounting firm that loses its leader can lose most of its clients and staff in as few as 30 days. Without a plan, clients will find a new accountant and key employees will find new jobs. A significant disability can be just as disastrous because disability insurance will not service your clients or manage your firm.

A potential solution for many practitioners is a practice continuity agreement

(PCA), a written contract with another professional or firm to (a) step in and manage your practice if you are temporarily disabled and/or (b) purchase your practice if you are permanently disabled or pass away.

The person or firm you select to manage your business during a temporary disability may differ from the right person or firm to purchase your practice, so these two aspects of the PCA probably should be considered separately.

Temporary management Temporary management of your practice focuses on preserving your business, which requires someone to shepherd your practice while you are unable to work. At a minimum, this person must be technically competent, able to manage your clients and your staff, and have the capacity to take on the additional work. If you have a niche practice, you need someone who can serve that niche. If you have very senior staff, possibly one of them can manage the practice, which allows for greater continuity since your staff knows your clients and your business; but you have

“Since working with Strategy Leaders I've gained an organized and disciplined approach to managing the next phase of development

and growth in our business.”

Shawn Abaspor, President & CEO Vitesse Worldwide

“...take full advantage of the vast experience and knowledge that Strategy Leaders provides for building a firm foundation for growth and success.”

to be certain your staff has adequate experience. If you look outside of your firm, you need to make sure that the person or firm you choose has the capacity to absorb the additional work, which is extremely important if you have limited staff or do most of the work yourself.

Unless you are able to entrust your practice to an existing employee, you are going to have to pay to have your practice managed. Typical arrangements involve either a percentage of the fees collected during your absence or a rate structure for the time spent managing your practice. Purchasing disability insurance and possibly other insurance coverage will help meet this financial obligation.

A temporary arrangement to preserve your practice needs to include appropriate legal safeguards to help ensure that the CPA you invite into your practice does not treat you unfairly. Nondisclosure and noncompete provisions are standard.

Permanently transferring your clients The structure of a PCA designed to permanently transfer your clients is very similar to an asset purchase agreement. Payment typically is received over a number of years and frequently is based either on a predetermined value for each client that moves over or on a percentage of fees collected from the new business.

Accordingly, many of the same considerations that would go into selling your practice also go into negotiating this type of PCA. One very notable difference is the fact that neither party to the PCA will know with any certainty when the successor will be called

upon to perform. Due to this uncertainty, you will need to focus on how the successor will satisfy his or her financial obligations under the PCA. Parties often build life insurance into the PCA to ensure that the PCA’s financial obligations can be met. You also will need to plan on meeting at least once a year after the PCA is executed to determine whether modifications are necessary.

Since PCAs often tie payment to the clients that move over or fees received by the successor, you will need to make sure that you have laid the groundwork for a smooth transition. You should tell your clients and staff about the PCA and consider introducing important clients to your successor. Your family, staff and attorney need to be ready to assist in the transition when the time comes.

As soon as a transfer of clients is triggered, notification should be sent to the clients so they are the first to know and do not learn about the transition from another source.

Finally, your PCA should be carefully reviewed by an attorney to make sure it fits into your overall business and estate planning and provides the greatest protection to you and your family as well as to your staff and clients.

Right Space, Wrong Broker: A cautionary tale. ere are some words of caution for the next time your company considers relocating. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to inspect the right space with the wrong broker. You have to make sure the broker is representing you – not the landlord.

H

Some tenants, when thinking about moving, drive around and call the phone numbers found on signs in front of all the buildings that appeal to them.

Not only does this method waste a lot of the tenants’ time, causing them to consider buildings that may not have appropriate available space, it also puts the tenants at a terrible disadvantage.

Keep in mind – the person answering the phone when you make those calls was hired by the landlord to make the best deal possible for the landlord – not you.

Bigger May Not be Better

In addition, when dealing with the

larger real estate brokerage firms, most tenants will be relegated to dealing with one of the firm’s more junior brokers. Not only do these junior brokers lack the level of experience you need, they usually are part of a “team.”

feet or less), each broker ends up with what may be as little commission as a 500-square-foot transaction. Few brokers can afford to pay a lot of attention to a transaction that small. Surely, most will not.

Therefore, before going into the market, be sure you chose a broker that has undivided loyalty to you, is prepared to represent you every step of the way, has plenty of experience in the market in which you have interest and works well with attorneys.

That means they not only have to split commissions with the house, they also have to split with the other members of their team. Therefore, on a typical 3,000-square-foot lease (on average, three out of four leases signed in Westchester each year are for 3,000 square

An “Apples to Apples” lineup

Another very important way to view building comparisons is a Lease Analysis and Comparison Report. These reports detail each contemplated transaction as it relates to all others – “apples to apples” – which is otherwise incredibly difficult for buildings with different prices and terms. A Lease Analysis and Comparison Report ensures the tenant will truly understand which building offers them the best deal, economically. This analysis, a comprehensive space availability database, along with a broker’s experience in negotiating leasing transactions in the market you are interested in, can assure tenants the best results possible.

About the Company

“You call me, you get me.” Robert D. Scinto, chairman of R. D. Scinto Inc., has lived by this fundamental rule and he has created a legacy on the foundation of hard work, big dreams

A number of renovations will be made to the building during the next nine to 10 months. New mechanical systems and a 24/7 generator will be installed and new loading docks will be added. R.D.

“The building is in a great location, the taxes are reasonable and there’s endless potential,” said Bob Scinto, chairman of R.D. Scinto. A number of renovations will be made to the building during the next nine to 10 months.

New mechanical systems and a 24/7 generator will be installed and new loading docks will be added. R.D.

With 32 buildings totaling more than 3.2 million square feet of space and an occupancy rate of nearly 98 percent — soaring well above national averages — Bob Scinto realized long ago that excellence in personal service both retains tenants and captures new ones. More than anything, this philosophy has translated into a successful business model within commercial property ownership and management.

How to Avoid Costly Mistakes When Negotiating or Re-Negotiating Your Office Lease

W

hy you need a Tenant Representative

The process of leasing office, industrial, retail or medical space, whether it is for a new location or extending an existing lease is a very complicated and time-consuming process that is fraught with issues that can have long-lasting impact on a company’s future.

Why the Landlord does not think you will move and he has the advantage:

1) They know tenants renew their leases +/- 70 percent of the time.

2) They recognize the time, expense and effort associated with relocating.

3) You are not in the marketplace conducting a credible market search.

4) You waited too long to begin the process and have painted yourself into the proverbial corner.

5) You have not engaged a Tenant Rep-

resentative* to assist you in evaluating your options and to represent your interests in ongoing lease negotiations. *A Tenant Representative is a Commercial Real Estate Broker who is specially trained to represent the tenant side in understanding market conditions, lease options, development and negotiation.

It is important to point out that the Tenant Representative’s fee is typically paid by the landlord.

Attempting to manage a relocation and lease negotiation, or a lease re-negotiation without the assistance of an experienced Tenant Representative to guide you through the process and help you structure a transaction that best serves your functional, operational and financial objectives only increases the chances of making costly mistakes.

Many tenants take the do-it-yourself approach. This is most likely because they don’t understand the value a Tenant Representative can provide or be-

Stay or go even If you have tIme left on your lease...

cause they have the misconception that they will get a better deal by themselves and/or eliminate the Tenant Representative’s fee (if there is no Tenant Representative utilized, the landlord keeps the money allocated in the lease for this purpose).

What benefit does the Tenant Representative provide?

The benefit of Tenant Representation is that the tenant, who may only participate in negotiations like this once every 3 - 10 years, needs access to current market information, transaction expertise and negotiation skills at least equal to those the landlord (or those of his/her agents) who conduct these negotiations every day.

Services A Tenant Representative Provides:

SEABOARD PROPERTIES:

Believing in the passion and economic viability of creative businesses f Stamford is “the city that works,” Seaboard Properties has made its business servicing the needs of those who work for themselves. An owner and manager in Stamford since 1991, Seaboard built its 20-plus-year history by focusing on the needs of the small business owner.

According to Seaboard President John DiMenna, “When we started, the first thing we did was make our offices turn-key. Removing obstacles for starting a business helped us fill our vacant spaces while at the same time jump-started business activity in the city. This was at a time when the business climate in Stamford was extremely weak. It’s an entirely different story now.”

Since then, Seaboard has expanded to include multifamily luxury residential properties as well as hotels and retail, including Park Square West, 11 Forest St., 100 Prospect St. and the

Courtyard Marriott. Seaboard is also under construction with a Residence Inn project on Atlantic Street, scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

“We continue to due what we do best: finding under-recognized, interesting spaces suitable for small business owners. 300 Main Street is an example of our meat-and-potatoes kind of project: prime location, historical, unique details and customizable spaces.”

Unique details are something that John DiMenna always looks out for.

“It’s something that people tend to overlook when analyzing a property.

There’s a lot of focus on numbers, which, of course, are important too.

But when a property has a sizzle or an identity, that can count for a lot if it’s leveraged properly.”

Leveraging the details is exactly what Seaboard has planned for the 12,00-square-foot space on the ground floor of 300 Main Street.

“The space is a knock-out,” says Seaboard Vice President Greg Stanton. “It features a classic bank vault — something that can still serve the modern banking model or make a great detail

The company recently acquired 300 Main Street, a historic office building located in the heart of downtown.“We continue to due what we do best: finding under-recognized, interesting spaces suitable for small business owners.

That doesn’t mean the company has moved on from the architecturally distinctive office spaces where it made its name. The company recently acquired 300 Main Street, a historic office building located in the heart of downtown.

for a creative business or retail environment.”

To showcase it, Seaboard has opted to supplement traditional marketing efforts with something more interesting.

“We’re going to host pop-up events there. It’s “creative place-making,” a big buzz word in the arts community right now and something we feel suits us as a brand, as we are particularly involved in supporting the arts and culture in Stamford.”

With their design/marketing firm, The Bananaland, the company will present and curate retail events designed to draw visitors to the space and ignite possibilities for future use.

In support of the approach, Stanton says, “We’ve always benefitted by believing in the passion and economic viability of creative businesses. It’s a big part of what we do and what we will continue to do as Stamford continues to grow into a true urban destination.”

Unique Opportunity at Wilton Woods Corporate Campus Largest Availability on the Route 7 Corridor – 145,000 Square Feet

S

eldom does an opportunity of this magnitude become available in Fairfield County. For the first time in years, a large, contiguous block of office space (145,000 sf) is available at Wilton Woods Corporate Campus (10 and 20 Westport Road) in Wilton, Conn. – the largest availability on the Route 7 corridor.

The available block of space is in 10 Westport Road, which is comprised of three inter-connected buildings.

The building is highlighted by clean, modern lines and 9-foot-high, floor-to-ceiling windows that take full advantage of the natural light and magnificent, wooded surroundings. 10 Westport Road has recently been renovated with a brand-new lobby, poured terrazzo floors and cherry wood finishes. Additional renovations are planned for the very near future.

parent that Wilton Woods Corporate Campus is an office park without peers.

It radiates rustic beauty from its stately, tree-lined entrance to its manicured lawns and its buildings’ superb architectural designs. Nestled on 60 wooded acres at the junction of Routes 7 and 33 in Wilton Conn., Wilton Woods Corporate Campus offers exceptional convenience, with easy access to all major highways, along with an unparalleled bucolic setting designed to enhance productivity.

This world-class corporate environment provides tenants with a wide array of upscale, on-site amenities, including a full-service, newly constructed cafeteria; a brand-new, state-of-the-art fitness center; conference rooms with video teleconferencing; walking trails, with a meandering stream and a pond; 24/7 manned security; an available, onsite generator; and shuttle service to the South Norwalk Metro-North train station. Wilton Woods Corporate Campus also features ample parking, much of which is covered to provide protection from the weather for its tenants.

Matrix Corporate Center in Danbury, CT One of the Most Significant Buildings on the East Coast

T

The Matrix Corporate Center locat- ed in Danbury, Conn., just minutes from the New York state border, is the city’s best piece of architecture. At 1.3 million square feet of office space, it’s slightly bigger than the Danbury Fair mall and twice as big as the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. This unique class A corpo- rate office building can accommodate up to 3,000 people.

“You will never see another building like this,’” said Aaron Smiles, director of operations for Matrix Realty Group, “It’s one of the most significant buildings on the East Coast.”

Two of the city’s biggest companies— Boehringer Ingelheim and Praxair— have their offices here, as do several smaller firms, including General Motors, Guideposts, NewOak Credit Services, Odyssey Logistics, Idelle Labs, MaxQ Technologies, Totalhousehold.com, Sirius, Jack Morton, Goddard Child Care Center, RWE Nukem and more.

NONPROFIT WESTCHESTER When one thinks of major employers in Westchester County, nonprofits don’t necessarily come to mind.

While we provide many essential services, what’s lesser known is that we’re also a critical driver in Westchester’s economy. In fact, a report

by Nonprofit Westchester and The Johns Hopkins University Center for the Civil Society Studies shows that Westchester’s nonprofit sector employs more people than any other industry in the county – more than retail, construction, banking, manufacturing or government.

The numbers tell the story: 53,987 people, or 13.6 percent of the county’s total workforce, are employed by a nonprofit. That’s one out of every seven workers. And nonprofits paid roughly $2.7 billion in wages and compensation – generating hundreds of millions in federal, state and local taxes.

What’s also impressive is that while other industries either declined or showed anemic growth, nonprofits grew by 8.4 percent over the last decade.

Another Olympic performance, on TV screens, for Rockland company

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

I

f a company can be afflicted with jet lag, one might expect to have seen it recently at the blackwalnut L.L.C. plant in Rockland County.

The Sochi Olympics patch with the NBC peacock logo on the warm-up jacket worn by managing partner Jacob Gendelman, a blackwalnut co-founder, suggests great distances traveled in recent months. If in February you watched at all the 2014 Winter Olympics on NBC, you saw the painstaking technical and construction work, in high-definition images, of this 11-year-old Valley Cottage company with an impressive international resume.

“It’s terrible,” Gendelman said of the Russia he saw during a three-week stay in Sochi in December to oversee installation of the studio sets his company built for NBC Sports. “Sochi was a disaster. The Russians were months behind.” Not allowed to use Russian workers, Gendelman hired a United Kingdom crew for the work. It proved to be a good move, he said.

Gendelman, a graduate of New York University’s film and theater school, led a recent tour of blackwalnut’s production facility, where finish and carpentry crews – members of Local 645 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees – assembled a new broadcast platform for The Weather Channel. He’ll travel to Atlanta this month to “hand over the keys” to his company’s six-week project at Weather Channel headquarters there.

On the production floor, a paint department worker applied a blue-tipped brush to a rounded section of a stage bound for one of Manhattan’s Off Broadway theaters.

Though theater projects such as this one and live events and corporate road shows have helped blackwalnut diversify, 85 percent of its business comes from the television broadcast industry, Gendelman said.

Having survived the recession – barely – after a fast early growth spurt, blackwalnut has become one of the world’s leading fabricators of television broadcast sets. Its annual revenue has reached $8 million. It has built sets on five continents for clients that include MSNBC, ESPN, Fox News, Comedy Central, China Central Television – in Kenya, London and Washington, D.C. – Al Jazeera America, Telemundo and Alhurra, an Arabic-language television company financed by the U.S. government that hired blackwalnut to build and install studio sets in Dubai and Beirut, Lebanon.

“Your typical broadcast set, an Olympic-size set, would cost upwards of $1 million,” Gendelman said. Broadcast sets can range in cost “from $150,000 to several million dollars on

the high end.”

Sochi was the third Olympics venue, and the most distant and most comfort-challenging, for blackwalnut’s installers and managers. CTV Television Network, Canada’s top-rated and largest privately owned network, hired the New York company to build its studio sets for both the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Blackwalnut also built the set for CTV’s Toronto bureau.

From its 44,000-square-foot plant in the Clarkstown Executive Park, blackwalnut over eight hectic months last year built and shipped to Russia in modular sections NBC’s daytime and primetime Olympic sets. Measuring 1,800 square feet and 3,600 square feet and built with aluminum and steel and high-end flooring and wall finishes, they included a wraparound video screen, a Plexiglas icefall as background and thousands of feet of color-changing LED lighting.

Mike Van Dusen, blackwalnut’s co-founding managing partner and production head, called the million-dollar-plus NBC project “a watershed moment” for the company and the design of the sets, by Clickspring Design in Manhattan, “hands-down the sharpest we’ve ever worked with.” Facing tight deadlines, a common occupational hazard for set fabricators, blackwalnut employees “went 46 days straight from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week” to complete the Sochi sets, he said.

“We’re sort of the anecdotal evidence that the economy has incrementally improved” since the Great Recession, Gendelman said. “There were days in the recession when there were five of us here” in a business that employs up to 60 workers on larger projects.

Working together at Atlantic Studios in Newark, N.J., Van Dusen and Gendelman in 2003 left frustrating jobs and abusive employers to venture on their own in the setmaking business.

“We literally started in his parents’ garage,” Van Dusen recalled. “We started with literally no money. We put things

on our credit cards. Neither of us had business acumen, zero.

It was like, ‘How hard can this be?’”

Though naïve in the ways of business, the new partners saw early success. “Within three months, we were building the NFL Draft” television set, Gendelman recalled. “Within five months, we were building for CNBC” at its headquarters in nearby Englewood Cliffs. “That was our first huge project.

That was about $1 million.”

“The HD conversion” in the television industry “really made the company,” Van Dusen said during a lunch break in his mezzanine office that overlooks the production floor.

Among his office mementos are autographed photos of comedians Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, whose Comedy Central sets were made right here in Rockland County. “We were totally in the right place at the right time,” he said.

Before HD technology, said Frank Bradley, blackwalnut’s director of estimating and project management, “We used to do the squint test” to gauge whether material details - a patch of black masking tape on the front of a news anchor desk, for example – would be visible to TV viewers. With HD, “Finish changed a lot,” he said. “Now TV is live.”

“Now it’s the magnifying glass test,’ said Gendelman.

“The expectations of designers have changed a lot also,” he said. “Before HD, we were still building sets and they were much more theatrical. For designers now, they’re built environments. They’re really not sets anymore.”

With their work in demand, the start-up partners moved the company from Gendelman’s parents’ garage to an aged and inadequate former lumber mill in Garnerville. The company relocated to industrial space in the Clarkstown Executive Park in 2005 before moving to this larger facility in the same complex about five years ago.

“We moved in about six minutes before the recession,” Gendelman said wryly. “It turned out to be a poor business decision.”

“From the first year we started until 2009, we grew by double digits every year – by 10 percent to 18 percent,” he said. “Then 2009 hit, and we took a 40 percent drop. All of a sudden, it was like a vast desert before us.”

“We did grow too fast for us,’ said Bradley, a former manager at Ernst & Young. “You have to manage your growth very well.”

“And our growth basically managed us for the first five years,” Gendelman said. “It’s been a school of hard knocks kind of education.”

“We sort of dropped off a cliff and crawled our way back,” he said. “These last two years have been terrific.”

Even if Sochi was not.

The pluck (strum, beat, tweet) of the Irish

I

t was a “back in Ireland” scenario at The Depot in Cold Spring as Irish musicians carrying their instruments walked into the eatery, greeting one another and taking their seats around a large round table.

For this pre-St. Patrick’s Day appearance the group performed in a dazzling setting of glittering shamrocks and other Irish décor arranged by Edelberto Rendon, the Colombian-born Depot waiter known to patrons as Papi. In other months the group finds itself playing Irish music in a setting of lavish Christmas, Valentine, Easter or July Fourth décor.

The monthly Depot scene is repeated regularly at Cold Spring’s Silver Spoon and across the river at Sheeran’s in Tomkins Cove.

The first arrival is usually the group’s organizer, Ann Dillon. The petite Cold Spring resident with cropped blonde hair and a porcelain white complexion orders a cup of coffee to unwind from her working day, setting down the cases carrying her concertina and tin whistle.

An early arrival is Alice Olwell of Cold Spring, bearing a replica of a large hatbox containing a bodhran. “A bodhran,” she says, “is an Irish drum covered with goatskin. It

26 March 10, 2014 • WCBJ • HV Biz

was originally a sieve, and someone thought of covering it with goatskin, which produces a unique sound.”

The musician is joined by Ed Packer of Suffern, who also unpacks a bodhran. He takes out a damp cloth and begins wiping it over the goatskin in soothing strokes.

“The dampness stretches the goatskin to produce a deeper sound,” he explains. Both musicians also play on the rims of their instruments. The Olwell rim is of dark wood, and the Packer rim is fashioned from light wood. Like the damp and undamp goatskin, the two woods produce different sounds.

But, according to Dillon protocol, only one bodhran plays at a time. The same rule prevails for the tin whistles. “Too much of a good thing can be bad,” Dillon says. On this night a Dillon student, Ann Simoni of New Windsor, has joined the group with her tin whistle.

Packer temporarily abandons his bodhran, picking up his guitar and bursting into song, treating listeners to the strains of “Raglan Road,” a ballad about a man who falls in love with a woman he meets there on an autumn day.

The entertainment is all Irish, but not all the participants are. Roger Polansky of

Highland of Polish background is on hand with his tenor banjo, while his wife, Helen Stokoe, holds forth on the fiddle.

Another fiddle arrives on the scene in the company of Bernadette Fee of New York City, a first-timer. “I met Ann at a gathering in Manhattan and decided to come up here to play with the group,” she says. After coffee with a friend, she pulls up a chair, beating time with a high heeled-garbed right foot.

Tenor Francie Gildernew arrives from Hopewell Junction with his guitar and presents a rendition of “Only Our Rivers Run Free.” The ballad, he points out, contrasts the freedom of the Irish rivers with the situation of the Irish people.

A couple appears at the door and pauses, taking in the scene. Gina Ironside of Tappan is a striking brunette, slender with an enviable posture. She and her companion, John Sindt of Nyack, both play the tin whistle.

The pair met while set dancing. “Not step dancing,” they are quick to explain. “Irish set dancing is like square dancing and involves eight people. It’s done to the tune of reels and jigs.”

Cathy Cassidy also comes from across the river. The Washingtonville guitar player, who

BY cathERINE PoRtmaN-LauX

claims paternal grandparents from County Mayo, treats patrons to an Irish refrain with her melodic soprano voice.

A call for talent among patrons brings forth two male and one female soloist rendering a cappella songs more familiar to American audiences: “Macushla,” “The Wild Colonial Boy” and “The Last Rose of Summer.”

In addition to her musical accomplishment, the group’s leader is known for her organizational skills. She posts a monthly schedule that includes The Depot at 7 p.m. on the Wednesday of or right after full moon; the Silver Spoon at 6 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month, and Sheeran’s at 5 p.m. on the third Sunday of the month.

The musicians float in and out of other Irish musical groups, but the Dillon magnetism continues to draw them together to play old Irish songs unfamiliar to the average listening audience.

Frozen Feet Theater combines the fluid strength and agility of ice skating with the magical realism of puppetry and narrative story telling when creating its choreography. This unique format, allows the company to explore complex subject matter from multifaceted stories. Now entering its fourth season, Frozen Feet Theater is trying to fulfill its mission to bring its format to the public through tours, workshops and made-for-film videos. The company has performed at Mohonk Mountain House in Saugerties.

Mike Carson and Beth Woronoff, co-founders of Frozen Feet Theater both have backgrounds in the arts.

Woronoff, a resident of Accord, is a U.S. figure skating freestyle Gold Medalist, and winner of the 1996 Artist in Residence Choreography Grant from from Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers. Carson founded the Winter Lights Festival/ Celebrating the Arts in Milford, Pa., where he created and developed the concept of telling socially relevant stories on ice through the fluid strength and agility of ice dancers and the magical realism of giant puppets. He and Woronoff met four years ago and together they created “Persephone and the Birth of Winter” and then, “Viva la Vida,” based on the life of Frida Khalo, which they recently brought to Bryant Park in New York City.

The artist uses her rich pastels and incredible talent to transport viewers to the rocky shores and rolling hills of Ireland. Gallery hours are Wednesday to Monday noon to 6 p.m. and Beacon Second Saturday noon to 9 p.m.

“A passion to paint is a gift from God requiring contemplation and long hours of labor,” says Fedigan. “I celebrate creation. Every painting I do is always going to be my best: my prayer of thanks.”

She teaches pastel painting at Mount St. Mary College, Desmond Campus in Newburgh and also at the Burren school of Art in Lisdoonvarna, Ireland. Fedigan tutored a pastel workshop in Vence, France, this past May and previously in Italy.

Bank of Millbrook, was congratulated by BAUERFINANCIAL, Coral Gables, Fla., for its 5-Star Superior rating. This rating (based on Sept. 30, 2013 financial data) indicates that Bank of Millbrook is one of the strongest banks in the nation; a dependable and financially sound community bank.

Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that Bank of Millbrook has earned this highest 5-Star rating for 96 consecutive quarters. Having maintained a 5-Star rating for this length of time earns Bank of Millbrook an even more elite designation as a “Sustained Superiority Bank.” Only 5 percent of the nation’s banks have earned Bauer’s top rating for so long and with such consistency.

“While banks may look alike on the surface, community banks, like Bank of Millbrook, are community partners,” noted Karen L. Dorway, president of the rating firm. “By keeping deposits local and focusing on the success of the communities in which it does business, Bank of Millbrook has thrived where other banks have faltered.”

Since its inception in 1891, Bank of Millbrook has been committed to providing the best of banking to its community. Its four branch offices are conveniently located in Amenia, Millbrook, Pine Plains and Stanfordville.

bOsCObel begins histOriCal upgrade Steven Miller, executive director of Boscobel House & Gardens, Route 9D in Garrison, announced the commencement of sweeping historical upgrades for the entry hall of its iconic c.1808 Federal-style mansion overlooking the Hudson River. The project heralds long-term future changes for the house reflecting new interpretive programming.

Built in the first decade of the 19th century Elizabeth and States Dyckman, Boscobel was dramatically saved from demolition, dismantled and moved to its present site in the late 1950s. It was first restored and opened to the public in 1961 with support from Lila Acheson Wallace who, together with her husband DeWitt Wallace, founded Reader’s Digest. Boscobel has long been recognized as one of America’s premier historic homes of the Federal Period.

It boasts beautiful rooms reflecting the style, design and living standards aspired to by the new and established gentry of the early Republic, especially landowners of the Hudson River Valley.

In 1977, the mansion was reopened to the public following a yearlong complete decorative renovation by Berry B. Tracy, then a curator with the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Tracy’s perspective was based on the results of an 1807 estate inventory of States Morris Dyckman and surviving original Dyckman manuscripts.

Boscobel is closed January through March. From April through October, visiting hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (first tour at 10 a.m.; last at 4 p.m.); November and December 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last tour at 3 p.m.) The House Museum and Gift Shop at Boscobel are open every day except Tuesdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

arChiteCtural exhibit at vassar

A new exhibition now on display at VASSAR COLLEGE libraries in Poughkeepsie puts a spotlight on the history of architecture and the many architectural influences that resulted in the buildings on campus. The Architect’s Library

show will be on view through May. “The foundation of Vassar College required special sensitivity to architecture; the buildings had to provide a suitable setting for a population that typically had not been educated outside of the home,” explained Nicholas Adams, professor of art on the Mary Conover Mellon Chair.

Matthew Vassar (1792–1868) carefully considered two different plans for the campus, one by the architect Thomas A. Tefft (1826–1859) and a second, the one that was executed,

by James Renwick (1818–1895). Vassar thought books on art and architecture were also an essential requisite for the education of the new students and to make that possible he procured part of the collection of the Rev. Elias L. Magoon (1810–1886), one of the college charter trustees. Much of the Magoon collection came from the estate of the English antiquarian John Britton (1771–1857) and was specialized in English and French Gothic and Gothic Revival, the style that Vassar thought could best set the moral tone at the new institution. Magoon had worked as a mason in his early years and architecture was, he thought, the “emblem of the divine on earth.” So in addition to books of architectural importance, Vassar also obtained books with an overt message so the founder could be assured that the collection would provide uplifting lessons.

From this nucleus, the collections grew. Prominent gifts from alumnae/i and friends brought notable works to the college. The result being an outstanding, well-rounded architectural library with significant holdings from all periods of Western architecture.

The Architect’s Library exhibition is being held in four locations on campus: the Special Collections Study Room,

light’s iMpaCt On art

A new exhibition, curated by the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, explores artistic responses to light by European and American artists from the 16th through the early 20th centuries. The exhibition, “Mastering Light: From the Natural to the Artificial,” will be on view from April 11 through June 29.

Artists throughout the centuries have used lighted candles, electric lamps, a full moon, starlight and the brilliant rays of the sun as pictorial devices and potent metaphors.

“They have literally turned the eyes of viewers and, in effect, left us with not only arresting works of art but also with a deeper understanding of aesthetic, social and technological histories of lighting,” says Patricia Phagan, the Philip and Lynn Straus curator of prints and drawings at the art center.

A selection of 29 works, including paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints and photographs, will take visitors on a journey from natural light to nocturnal light and, finally, to artificial light as they move through the temporary exhibition galleries devoted to this show.

The exhibition opening event Friday, April 11, will feature a lecture by William C. Sharpe, author of the book “New York Nocturne: The City After Dark in Literature, Painting and Photography, 1850-1950” (Princeton, 2008), at 5:30 p.m. in Taylor Hall. This will be followed by a reception at 6:30 p.m. in the art center’s atrium.

Admission to the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is free and all galleries are wheelchair accessible. The center is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.

ARON B. WIEDER, Rockland County Legislator, presented three men with Distinguished Service Awards for their collective efforts to find and return a wallet lost during a taxicab ride. The presentation ceremony took place prior to a recent meeting of the county Legislature.

Wieder had responded to a constituent’s call about his wallet, which contained a substantial amount of money and important documents and which he believed fell in the taxi as he was exiting. With assistance, Wieder identified the owner of the taxi, JEAN M. ANDRE, and upon a search the wallet was discovered under the taxi seat with its contents untouched.

“Sometimes in life, it takes big people with big hearts to do little things,” said Wieder…. This is an example of individuals who are concerned about the plight of others and who reflect the values of this caring community. These actions saved this gentleman from circumstances from which he would have difficulty overcoming.”

Enjoy a barrage of humor and madness when Kelly Kinsella stars in her hilarious one-woman play “When Thoughts Attack,” at Orange Hall Theatre, Orange County Community College, corner of Grandview and Wawayanda avenues on the Middletown campus, 8 p.m., Friday, March 14. The somewhat autobiographical show is funny and honest in tone but more serious and universal in theme. It deals with anxiety and is, therefore, relatable to everyone.

The play presents a neurotic single woman in a restaurant who, when deciding what to eat (a task she finds quite daunting), spirals into obsessively anxious and hysterical thoughts over all of her life choices that have led her to this meal.

Tickets can be purchased at the box office one hour before the play or anytime online at sunyorange.edu/arts_comm/ ticketing.shtml. Admission is $10 adults; $5 senior citizens, SUNY Orange alumni, faculty and staff and free for all students from any educational institution. For more information, visit sunyorange.edu/culturalaffairs
