while increasing benefits to workers.

The state will create one method for collecting annual assessments from employers, thereby saving self-insured employers an estimated $500 million. This change will eliminate a system the state called “overly complicated and expensive.”

Businesses in the Hudson Valley should save an estimated $14.7 million from the change.

The Fund for Reopened Cases – an appeals docket for insurers – is also being closed, with the state deeming it unnecessary.

iming to plan a new health care delivery model informed by hard data and tailored to the needs and demographics of the county, leaders in business, academia and the health care industry have joined in a consortium launched by the Westchester County Association.

The WCA Healthcare Consortium already has enlisted more than 50 CEOs and senior executives of hospitals, the county’s largest physician groups, home care agencies, nursing homes, assisted facilities, insurers, trade associations, academic institutions and businesses such as Simone Development Cos., a developer formerly based in New Rochelle whose commercial real estate projects include medical office buildings.

Their work will be neither easy nor quickly done, consortium leaders said at an April 10 press conference to announce the effort to unite in the service of what Dr. Simeon Schwartz, president of Westmed Medical Group, called their common mission: “to improve the health of the county.”

“To achieve that mission, which is hardly trivial, we have to respond to changes in the marketplace,” he said.

Schwartz, whose physician-owned multispecialty practice group has grown to be a strong competitor with area hospitals in providing a wide range of health care services, suggested that response should include hospital closings or consolidations.

There are 10 acute care hospitals in the county serving approximately 1 million patients, he said.

“That‘s not an effective model,” he said. Planning is needed “to chart new paths for health care in Westchester.”

“Having a common focus and discussion on concerns and issues engaging health care today is essential for effective county planning,” he said.

White Plains Hospital President and CEO Jon B. Schandler, who has had a 35-year career in health care, predicted, “We’re going to see more changes in the next three to five years than I’ve seen in the last 30 years.”

Pro-business reforms could save employers $1.2b Insurance, workers’ comp affected

BY SaM BarrON sbarron@westfairinc.com

REFORMS TO WORKERS’ COMPENSATION and unemployment insurance announced in Albany this month have buoyed employers even as they seek further pro-business changes.

The twin reforms, part of the recently approved state budget, should save businesses $1.2 billion, according to the governor’s office.

The state estimates the workers’ compensation reforms alone will save businesses $800 million

alf a century ago, America’s two top dining choices were Howard Johnson’s and the counter at Woolworth’s.

You turned in. You parked. You ordered a ham salad on pumpernickel and an egg cream from a guy wearing a bowtie.

“That’s the way America ate out in 1960,” said Gerry Houlihan. “You had HoJo’s and you had Woolworth’s. Then McDonald’s came along and changed all that.

“Today the restaurant industry is more competitive than ever,” he said. “More than 50 percent are franchises or chains or a combination of both. It is more difficult for a mom-and-pop to make it today. But I think it’s important to remember franchises are also mom-and-pops that provide local jobs.”

Houlihan offered his take – good and bad – on the recent town of Eastchester ban on so-called “fast-casual dining,” such as at national outfits like Panera Bread, with three restaurants in the county already and, until the ban, reportedly with its eye on Eastchester. His bona fides include 19 years as owner of Daniel’s, a restaurant located for 10 years on the Post Road in Eastchester and for another nine years at the Crestwood train station. His second career is real estate, both as a licensed real estate salesman for Houlihan & O’Malley and as president of Houlihan Business Brokers, specializing in

restaurant sales and consulting. His office is in Bronxville. “I know the mom-and-pops and I know the franchises,” he said.

His first point is perhaps the most salient.

“Eastchester has essentially always had this ban,” he said.

On his desk was the proof.

The previous town code nixes: “A type of eating establishment where food and beverages are ordered and purchased over counters (without table service by waiters or waitresses) in a ready to consume state and the design or method of operation includes one or both of the following: 1) food and beverages usually served in edible, plastic, paper or other disposable containers; and 2) there are two or more cashier stations.”

“Clearly,” said Houlihan, “this was designed to keep the likes of McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Burger King from setting up shop. A town like Eastchester was laid out at the turn of the last century and it really has not changed; it’s not designed to handle the volume of fast-food traffic.” Eastchester’s layout is pinned to a central business district on north/south-running Route 22 – “Post Road” locally – with leafy neighborhoods to the east and west.

But a new world of food options has risen and Eastchester, according to Town Board legislation that just permanently banned so-called fast-casual chains with 15 or more outlets, “has increasingly been confronted with inquiries about a variety of food-service establishments, including but

not limited to: bakeries, catering, fast-food, quick casual, carry out, full-service, cafeterias, buffets, bars and hybrids of these uses.”

The board said further, “The town enjoys a pleasant character and superior quality of life for its approximately 19,500 residents.”

Such a sentiment is not abstract, but references the town’s Comprehensive Plan – a blueprint upon which road decisions, deck sizes and federal grants are pegged – which “strives to preserve and strengthen the town’s pattern of existing residential land use, while simultaneously supporting and encouraging compatible commercial land uses.” The board added italics to emphasize the word “compatible.”

Compatibility does not, however, necessarily translate to profitability. “About 40 percent of the mom-and-pop restaurants close in the first three years,” Houlihan said.

“The failure rate for franchises is much lower. For Dunkin’ Donuts it is lower than 5 percent. A McDonald’s closing is extremely, extremely rare. These are very well-run organizations. Most are owned by multiple operators who are well capitalized. The franchises have real track records and what you will net is a known. This is a large part of the industry right now, franchises with more than 15 stores, which are now banned. It is important to remember they have more than 15 stores because they are good at what they do.”

Houlihan said Eastchester’s original ban makes sense, but is less enthusiastic about the new ban. “With fast food you get the drive-through experience, which Eastchester clearly does not want in any way, shape or form,” he said. “But by knocking out any-

one with more than 15 stores, Eastchester is knocking out a lot of good operators. And Eastchester’s loss will be another town’s gain, because these franchises will move to the next town up the pike that will have them. I understand what Eastchester did, but I think it’s a little too broad.”

Houlihan said parking remains a big issue for many towns and villages, including Eastchester. “The residents do not want parking structures,” he said. “They placed one by the train station in Scarsdale – down in the valley – and it took about 10 years to get it approved. The bottom line is: These structures are extremely unpopular, mostly for aesthetic reasons.”

Unstated in the ban is that local eateries cannot compete with the economy of scale of the franchises.

“Local people can go head to head with the franchises, but you’ve got to be good,” Houlihan said. “In Bronxville, we had Slave to the Grind, a coffee shop. When Starbuck’s opened, people had a heart attack. But Slave does well; it’s a well-run operation that attracts a local, local crowd.” Whether franchised or homemade, “You need to be wellfunded and really on top of your game to compete in the restaurant world.”

Home buyers vie for shrinking inventory

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

falling inventory of housing listed on the Westchester County market carried into the first quarter this year, increasing competition among prospective buyers. Sale prices, though, have not risen dramatically in the tightened market, according to the recent quarterly sales report from the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR) in White Plains.

“Inventory is literally the key component of the market as I see it,” said Diane Cummins, president-elect of the four-county Realtors association and a broker at Douglas Elliman Real Estate who manages the company’s Somers and Katonah offices. “It’s what is driving us right now.”

Especially in the more commuterconvenient communities south of Interstate 287, “There’s a feeding frenzy happening now” for single-family homes that is reflected in sales numbers and bid offers. With as many as 10 to 12 prospects eyeing the same home, some buyers are waiving inspection, appraisal and mortgage contingencies when signing purchase contracts, she said.

Cummins said the frenzied demand has been seen in Larchmont, Rye, Mamaroneck, Bronxville “and even into White Plains.”

“Some of these marketplaces, the inventory is so scarce, the aberration we have known in the market in these last years is really closing,” she said. With buyers re-entering the market, “Prices are rising, but at a moderate, appropriate rate” that does not threaten to balloon into another market bubble, she said.

HGAR reported an 18.8 percent drop in total housing inventory in the county at the end of the first quarter from a year ago. The 3,080 single-family homes listed at the start of April represented a 20 percent decrease from the previous year.

Realtors participating in the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service reported closing 775 sales of single-family houses in Westchester in the first quarter, a 6.2 percent increase from a year ago.

Condominiums, demand for which has risen in the county since the housing recession of 2008 and 2009, have continued to sell well this year. The 210 condos sold in the first quarter represented a 11.7 percent increase from the first quarter of 2012.

First-quarter sales of cooperatives rose 8.1 percent from the previous year.

Overall, residential brokers reported

1,341 sales closed in the first quarter, a 7.2 percent increase from the first three months of 2012.

The first quarter median price of a single-family home in Westchester was $515,000, up 1.9 percent from a year ago.

The average sale price, though, dropped 2 percent to $710,633.

HGAR CEO Richard Haggerty in the first-quarter report said the increased market activity among first-time buyersTWB and Trusa others who see a chance to buy WCBJ affordably priced housing in an expensive 7.375” w x 7.125” h market “is having the effect of making 1/30/13 the pricing structure look weak or even NEWSPRINT decreasing from quarter to quarter.” Yet house values are not declining, he said.

Haggerty said the bulk of the market “has strongly shifted to the moderate and

lower priced properties” in the county, which results in lower average prices.

In Westchester, sales of single-family homes priced at $1 million or more amounted to 16 percent of total firstquarter sales. That is the same percentage of high-end sales as a year ago “but well below the level of 20 percent or higher that prevailed in prior years,” he noted.

Jonathan J. Miller, author of the quarterly Elliman Report for Douglas Elliman Real Estate, tracked first-quarter results in Westchester’s luxury market, the upper 10 percent of single-family house sales. He reported the median price of $1,793,750 for 78 luxury homes sold was a 16.1 percent drop from a year ago.

Miller in the first-quarter Elliman report said the pace of decline in the

inventory of single-family houses in Westchester “is accelerating.” The dwindling supply coupled with rising demand “has made the market feel much tighter.”

With renewed interest from buyers, Cummins said, some homeowners “think we’re going to go back to what we had” in house values before the recession.

Some are setting asking prices on their listed homes with that expectation.

“You can’t put your house on for that escalated price,” she said. “It will still sit.

This is still an opportunity market for buyers.”

“I think the market is healthy,” Cummins said. “The market is not crazy.

The feeding frenzy is not everywhere.”

“I feel this is a rosy market. I think there’s lots of room to recover more.”

We’re Dedicated to the Personal Care and Attention You Deserve. “ Our partnership with

The Westchester Bank has been instrumental in our ability to grow the business and accomplish our goals.

Retailer to expand in new downtown space

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

T

oys “R” Us Inc. by early May will relocate its downtown White Plains toy and baby products store from the Westchester Pavilion on South Broadway to City Center, where it plans to add 30 full- and part-time positions to its current downtown staff of more than 45 employees.

The new Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us store will occupy a 55,000-square-foot space at 7 City Place on the second floor of the City Center retail and entertainment complex. The company, headquartered in Wayne, N.J., will vacate its space at 60 S. Broadway, where it has been a tenant of Greenwich, Conn.-based Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. since 1994.

Company officials said the City Center location has been designed to incorporate the side-by-side store format launched by the retailer in 2006 to bring its Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us brands under one roof.

The integrated stores vary in size from 30,000 square feet to 70,000 square feet.

The company operates more than 200 such

stores in the U.S. Troy Rice, executive vice president of stores and services at Toys “R” Us Inc., in a statement said co-locating the store brands “is a key initiative for the company, and our customers nationwide have been responding favorably to the convenience and breadth of selection these stores offer.”

“Whether guests are shopping for must-have toys for the kids in their lives or products for the more than 11,100 babies born in Westchester County each year, this new side-by-side store will provide parents with both a convenient shopping experience and great values,” Rice said.

The store will hold its grand opening weekend May 3- 5.

In conjunction with the opening, the Toys “R” Us Children’s Fund has awarded a $10,000 grant to Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The Toys “R” Us charity has donated more than $2.3 million to the Make-A-Wish organization since 1995 and its parent corporation has contributed $200,000 in holiday gift care for terminally ill children in the last four years.

Pier 1 Imports debuts in Port Chester

BY BiLL FaLLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

Fort Worth, Texas-based Pier 1 Imports recently opened a Port Chester store, promising 12 to 15 jobs and a new store design.

The 9,871-square-foot space is at 427 Boston Post Road in the Port Chester Shopping Center.

The company operates some 1,000 stores throughout North America and Puerto Rico.

“We are pleased to bring this new Pier 1 Imports to Port Chester and hope that our new location will inspire customers to discover the eclectic and fun merchandise that is unique to Pier 1 Imports,” said Alex W. Smith, president/ CEO of Pier 1 Imports. “Pier 1 Imports offers merchandise that fits all decorating styles, as well as a broad array of affordable holiday décor, furniture and gifts, and we look forward to sharing our unique shopping experience

with the residents of Port Chester and the surrounding area.”

On average, the store will employ about 12 to15 associates throughout the year. Associate hours fluctuate based on the needs of the business and the season, Pier 1 officials said in the announcement.

This is the 49th Pier 1 location in New York, and it will feature a new layout.

Pier 1 Imports rolled out its new store concept in fall 2011. The design is “a natural evolution of the Pier 1 Imports experience that utilizes a new interior finish-out, including natural-colored floor tiles, rustic ceiling elements, enhanced store lighting and lit shelving units lining the walls, all of which help customers visualize the end use of the products within their own home.” The features of the new store should allow easier navigation while maintaining the “treasure hunt” feel touted by Pier 1.

A new (sliding) scale of justice at Pace

By Bill Fallon Bfallon@westfairinc.com

ince he began work as a fellow for the Pace Community Law Practice, attorney Craig Relles, a 2012 Pace Law School graduate, and three fellow legal fellows have helped some 200 people who have legal issues but not a lot of money.

Relles, law students and staff of the Pace Community Law Practice recently gathered in the Robert B. Fleming Moot Courtroom in the Gerber Glass Law Library at Pace Law School in White Plains to celebrate the first year of their mission and its success.

The community-oriented, slidingscale legal help focuses on civil matters that so far have included matters of: immigration, family, special education and guardianships. The backroom work to develop the program took five years.

“It’s a wonderful program,” said Pace University President Stephen J. Friedman, an attorney who previously served as Pace Law School dean. “Pace Law School has a long commitment to public service and to pro bono service. We have a number of longstanding legal clinics. This is a very important addition to those efforts.”

Attorney Jennifer Friedman served five years on the task force to bring the community practice to fruition and has served as its director since it began operations in earnest last September. “We have definitely started to identify and meet the legal needs of the community,” she said.

Since September, program fellows have retained 100 cases and helped another 100.

Relles said his clients are typically working people who have found themselves in need of legal work, but who lack limitless funds to get it done properly.

“These are people who otherwise might slip through the cracks,” he said. “It’s been an extremely positive experience. We really feel like we’re making a difference in the community.”

Michelle Simon, dean of the law school, said, “We’re very pleased with the results. The service is providing many different benefits, helping an underrepresented part of the community.

“There’s a lot of hype about too many lawyers,” she said. “That’s not really the case. This program helps to fill that gap.”

The state’s chief judge of the Court of Appeals, Jonathan Lippman, addressed the 150 assembled. Others speakers included: state Sen. Andrea StewartCousins; U.S. Immigration Court Judge Noel Ann Brennan; and attorney Sergio Saravia, a 2007 Pace Law graduate who now practices solo and who runs Jose L. Saravia Legal Services Inc., named for his

“With millions of New York state residents unable to afford market rates for legal services, the Pace Community Law Practice is exactly the kind of innovative new program that law schools should be creating to help close the justice gap,” Lippman said in a statement. “I applaud Dean Michelle Simon and Pace Law School for trailblazing public interest legal education in New York state.”

Health Care ­— From page 1

Medicaid program, “There’s no doubt we’re being challenged to take care of more members of our community with fewer resources,” he said.

Beyond federal and state legislative and regulatory reforms, “There’s a local solution” to developing new health care delivery models, Schandler said. “That’s probably the unique effort going on here that we all feel very enthusiastic about.”

Angela Skretta, vice president of the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association and Suburban Hospital Alliance in Newburgh, said the consortium in its health care planning could recommend changes that hospitals would implement in five to 10 years. She said the group would look at “what makes sense from a business perspective and how things are going across the entire county – where the needs are.”

Skretta cautioned that changes to health care delivery that affect hospitals, including consolidations and closings and added or eliminated services, will not ultimately be decided at the county level. The state will determine “which hospitals will do what,” she said. “This is a very, very complicated process.”

WCA Chairman William P. Harrington said the consortium is “the next step” in the WCA’s 7-year-old Blue Ribbon Task Force initiative to

Pro-business ­— From page 1

The state is also introducing measures to increase competitiveness in the marketplace that it hopes will drive down costs and provide relief to businesses. Albany believes businesses in the Hudson Valley should save $27.5 million, while statewide they should save $300 million.

Injured workers will see an increase in their minimum benefits from $100 to $150.

This summer, the Workers’ Compensation Board will begin accepting injury reports electronically from insurers using a national standard that will reduce paper costs and allow for more timely benefit payments.

“Two years ago we pledged to reopen New York’s doors to business and transform our economic climate to make our state friendlier to job creators and reduce the unnecessary bureaucracy and burdens facing businesses,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “While there is still work to be done, the sweeping reforms to the workers’ comp and unemployment insurance system included in the budget are a major victory for our state’s businesses large and small.”

reform the health care insurance industry to reduce the burden of rising costs on businesses and employees.

Health care “is the driving issue that every business should be focused on if they’re paying attention,” said Harrington, managing partner at Bleakley Platt & Schmidt L.L.P. in White Plains.

And the health care industry “is by far the largest economic engine in the region,” he said, employing more than 30,000 workers in Westchester and pumping more than $10 billion into the economy.

Harrington said the consortium likely would take more than one year to prepare its report and recommendations. “We don’t know anywhere else in the state, let alone in the country, where this model is being replicated,” he said.

Planning will be based on data compiled by

an academic subcommittee of the consortium that includes health care experts from Fordham University in Westchester, Iona College, Mercy College and Pace University. That data is “critical to development of a sustainable, efficient health care model,” Harrington said.

Paul Savage, program director of health care management at Iona College’s Hagan School of Business, reported on preliminary data on hospitals compiled from the state Department of Health to help the consortium “visualize the magnitude of demand.” The data provide the following picture of the county’s changing health care landscape over a 15-year period from 1997 to 2012: • Fewer than 11 percent of Westchester residents travel to Manhattan for hospital care.

• Inpatient hospital bed use dropped by 15

percent.

• Hospital patient discharges were down 6 percent.

• Average length of a patient’s hospital stay declined 13 percent.

• Inpatient services for maternity and pediatric care declined as the county’s population has aged.

• Inpatient and ambulatory surgeries declined.

• Medicine services for hospital patients increased 32 percent.

• Referrals of discharged patients to home care and skilled nursing facilities doubled.

• Medicare has surpassed commercial insurance as a primary payer of inpatient services.

• With an aging population, the number of hospital patients with Medicare rose 15 percent.

Lev Ginsburg, director of government affairs for The Business Council of New York, said his group supports the reforms but remains cautious. Reforms to workers’ compensation were made several years ago, but the savings never materialized, he said.

Ginsburg said he was disappointed the state did not get rid of the Aggregate Trust Fund. The fund, enacted in 2007 and administered by the State Insurance Fund, requires all non-self-insured employers and carriers to make lump sum payments upon a finding by a third party of a worker’s “permanent partial” disability.

“It would’ve removed a serious burden on insurance carriers,” Ginsburg said.

“It was added in at the last second and it should’ve been removed by now. It unfairly puts a thumb on the scale in favor of a claimant in negotiations.”

Ginsburg said that workers’ compensation costs in New York are higher than in other states, but that these reforms will make New York a more business-friendly state. “We have more work to do,” he said.

John Ravitz, executive vice president of the Business Council of Westchester, said business groups have been advocating for workers’ compensation reforms for years.

“The business community felt the scale was tilted in the wrong direction,” Ravitz said. “Workers’ compensation was becom-

ing a huge burden on their shoulders.

Hopefully this reform plan will work.” The increasing cost of workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance was keeping employers from hiring more employees, he said.

“Bringing in more employees allows you to accomplish more, but how can you afford it?” Ravitz said. “This is a positive step in the right direction. The devil is in the details.

Hopefully, businesses will see relief.”

Ravitz said the state needs to do more to address fraud and abuse of workers’ compensation that drives up costs. “You want to have a level playing field,” he said.

“If it’s better to do business in Connecticut, Massachusetts or New Jersey, people will just go right over the bridge. Hopefully this will make the state more business friendly.”

Ken Fuirst, co-president of Levitt Fuirst Associates, an insurance firm based in Yonkers, said that Cuomo has good ideas to make the system more efficient. He said that liability rates are skyrocketing in New York, making it harder for companies to do business.

Fuirst would like to see the state repeal Labor Law 240, the so-called Scaffold Law that gives special protection to workers working at heights, requiring building owners and contractors to be 100 percent responsible for any injuries sustained.

“Over the last 10 years, lawyers have used this as a wedge to exploit this law,” Fuirst said. “Any injury on a construction site ends up in six-figure lawsuits. Workers’ compensation was designed to pay for injuries at a job site and keep the lawyers out of it.”

New York is the only state where lawyers are allowed to sue for injuries at a worksite, he said.

“There’s no issue with workers’ compensation; it’s general liability labor law,” Fuirst said. “Until that is implemented, you will never see the results.”

Cuomo also detailed reforms made to unemployment insurance that will save employers in New York $400 million, including an estimated $43 million in savings for employers in the Hudson Valley.

Reforms include changes to the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, stronger penalties for fraud and more assistance to help the unemployed find work.

Unemployment benefits will also increase. The maximum weekly rate will increase from $405 to $420 beginning in October 2014. Additional increases will continue and be indexed to 50 percent of the state’s average weekly wage. The minimum weekly benefit rate will increase from $64 to $100. Rates were last increased in 1999.

Build a tip-top sales team I’m trying to get my sales force into shape. One of my people is not a tigress at prospecting.

Another will call on existing contacts and referrals, but if I send him to a networking event, he might leave without making any contacts. We need qualified leads and it’s taking too much time to learn how to get them.

Thoughts of the day: Make it clear what’s expected. Build a complementary team.

Make sure marketing is doing its part to deliver opportunity. Review results and get people into the right jobs.

Lay out expectations from day one. With existing personnel assigned to sales, go over the basics. Develop a weekly report that people have to complete and talk about.

We use an Excel spreadsheet with rows for the activities expected and columns for the weeks. Rows include networking, cold calling, sales class, intro letters sent, intro calls

made, weekly sales lead group, referral meetings and trade shows. We have two rows for each: The first row is to check off if they did the activity and the second row is to record contacts uncovered through those activities.

The bottom of the report is where they recap the number of leads identified, qualified, moved into the sales process and closed.

We show this report to prospective salespeople. Existing salespeople review it weekly in our staff meetings. Making it clear what’s expected – and that activity or lack of activity will be visible – helps people who want to be in sales know this is a serious opportunity.

Try to get a mix of people and get them working together. Include people in operations who will be talking to customers all the time. On the team you want some people who are good at opening doors, effective networkers. Others on the team should be good at follow up and closing. Consider putting someone from the back office on the job of keeping track of a database of prospects and review progress weekly.

Check on the number of leads that the company produces for the salespeople to fol-

low up on. If it’s very limited, put some more dollars into marketing. The most expensive part of sales is usually door opening. Try to reduce the cost of making new contacts by investing in programs that will identify warm prospects. Letter and mail campaigns, outside vendors assigned to make calls, booths at trade shows, etc. are all ways to get warm leads for the salespeople to work on.

Take a look at the spreadsheet after it’s been in use for a couple months. Look at who has been effective at various activities.

Make sure you have people assigned to work in the right part of the sales funnel. Someone who’s always going to networking events but never identifying leads either needs training or needs to spend time doing something more productive. Someone with a lot of leads and very few closes may also need training, or may benefit from being teamed up with a closer to learn how to make things happen more quickly.

Keep in mind that everyone seems to run through hot and cold spells. If someone has low results for a couple of weeks, don’t panic.

Take time to talk about what’s going on and

see if there’s some other activity that can be added to the mix that will lead to more results. Give it another couple weeks to take hold. If a drop in results persists, check to see if it’s a warning sign about the viability of the market the person is calling on. Or, is this person just souring on sales altogether, in which case it may time to make a change.

Your job as manager is to step back from the action and keep an overview of what’s going on. Move people around. Push up on marketing efforts. Make sure that new activity is flowing steadily through the pipeline.

Learn to read the reports to see what’s going on.

onhomie may be lacking on the national level of government, but leaders from three downriver counties – Westchester, Putnam and Rockland – found much to agree on recently before 200 persons who gathered for the second annual Pattern for Progress Regional Leadership Conversation at the DoubleTree Hilton in Tarrytown.

The mutual enthusiasms displayed by a pair of county executives from east of the Hudson River and a county legislative leader from west of the river included a modern Tappan Zee bridge and improving efforts to wed a region of economic disparity and geographic provincialism that nonetheless has a shared story going back hundreds of years.

Framing the overarching theme of interconnectedness in a new world, Michael P. Hein, the Ulster County executive who served as co-moderator along with Pattern president and CEO Jonathan Drapkin, said that as a boy in Queens, the Hudson Valley was off the radar – “Canada“ – but not any longer.

“When you create a job in Westchester, we feel it in Ulster,” Hein said.

Referring to the new Tappan Zee Bridge, with early-stage construction barges already floating beneath the old span, he said: “Everyone here while advocating for the bridge for their own communities was also advocating for other counties nearby. It’s an enormous gateway.”

“We need to get out of the silo,” said Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “We’re 50 miles north of New York City and people still say, ‘Where’s that?’”

“We are not an island,” said Harriet Cornell, Rockland County Legislature chairwoman. “We need the bridge and we need improved west-of-the-Hudson rail service in order to keep our youth from leaving.”

Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino called the Tappan Zee “a national bridge,” adding, “A new Tappan Zee has to happen. It is absolutely integral to the economic development of the state.” He favors a dedicated bus lane, saying, “We do not want to build the same bridge again.”

The topic of climate change – and the communication needed for the emergencies it appears to be spawning – was spurred by Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011 and Hurricane Sandy last October. Irene battered Ulster County

with its worst damage in recorded history. Sandy swamped numerous river communities with its storm surge and left many businesses and residents in the region without power for three to eight days. Westchester County’s Rye Playland alone sustained approximately $13 million in damage.

Odell’s team in last year’s natural disaster took to social media. “We pumped out information alerts on gas stations,” she said. “Our takeaway from the storm is that communication is paramount. Once we went dark, we had to maintain those levels of communication.”

“We’re now planning for climate change,” said Cornell. “With the Tappan Zee, the planning is based on a rising river. We know the river is going to rise.”

To prepare for that, she said, the old service road beneath the bridge on the river level must be built more durably for the new bridge.

“Building the bridge will create 30,000 jobs,” Cornell said. The question is: How do we make the jobs stay after the bridge is finished?”

The state’s regulatory burden took a drubbing, with every leader decrying Albany’s penchant for grabbing most of municipalities’ tax revenue. Medicaid payments alone gobble up more than 80 percent of local property tax revenue, they said.

Cornell said Rockland is working to grease the economic skids and recently won praise from furniture retailer Raymour & Flanigan for the alacrity with which Rockland approved the company’s new 839,000-square-foot regional distribution center in the village of Montebello.

“We don’t create jobs; I strongly believe that,” Astorino said of government. “But we can show businesses the tools to make them invest or stay here, as we did with Pepsi and Atlas Air,” two corporations that committed to keeping their headquarters in Westchester since Astorino took office in 2010.

“Obviously guidelines and regulations are important, but you need incentives, too,” he said. “We fought for incentives and killed the sugar tax and Pepsi kept 900 workers here.”

Pattern for Progress hosts two informational breakfasts for its northern and southern members in the Hudson Valley.

When its more northerly members met last month, Stewart International Airport in New Windsor supplanted the Tappan Zee as the regional issue of greatest interest.

Hud denies county hurricane relief funds

BY SaM BarrON sbarron@westfairinc.com

A

s County Executive Robert P. Astorino continues his battles with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in court over the terms of the settlement of an anti-discrimination lawsuit, HUD is denying Westchester County funds related to Hurricane Sandy relief.

HUD sent a letter dated April 4 to the county stating it had “serious civil rights concerns” related to Astorino’s noncompliance of the settlement, approved in 2009, and as such would not give the county Community Development Block Grants.

Astorino has threatened to sue HUD, claiming HUD is violating due process.

The grants are used for community development projects such as infrastructure improvements, affordable housing projects and anti-poverty programs.

“This is merely the latest in a long series of financial liabilities that the administration’s continued stubbornness will cost us; and there could be many more significant financial penalties coming for noncompliance of the housing settlement,” Legislator Catherine Borgia said in a press release.

“This decision once again illustrates how important it is for the county to start behaving responsibly and move forward with the settlement issues. Westchester taxpayers can’t afford to continue to bear that burden.”

Astorino’s office fired back at HUD saying they were unaware of HUD’s letter until it was given to them by a reporter.

“There is no basis for HUD to be playing politics with disaster relief funds,” Edwin McCormack, director of communications for the county executive said.

“Frankly, it is unconscionable for HUD to bring unsupported allegations of civil rights violations into the disbursement of emergency relief for Hurricane Sandy victims.”

On April 5, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the county violated terms of its 2009 anti-discrimination settlement with HUD when Astorino vetoed legislation that would ban landlords from discriminating against residents on public assistance, such as Section 8 vouchers.

The court rejected Astorino’s argument that the legislation would violate home rule and could come into conflict with the zoning codes of county municipalities.

Westchester County and HUD have been battling over the county’s compliance with a 2009 settlement claiming that the county promoted discrimination by ignoring local zoning restrictions. As part of the settlement, the county has to build 750 units of affordable housing by August 2016.

HUD is threatening to withhold $7.4 million in federal aid if the county does not comply by April 25.

Astorino said he would comply with the law and continue to take principled stands on behalf of the people of Westchester.

This “would compel every owner of a house or apartment to do business with the federal government – and take on all the rules and regulations that entails – upon a tenant’s presentation of a Section 8 voucher,” Astorino said in a statement. “I also felt that the source of income legislation would

be detrimental to the housing settlement because it would act as a disincentive for developers to build affordable housing.”

The county executive accused HUD of extortion and asked for a formal hearing to give the county its due process.

“The rules apply to everyone, and that includes HUD,” said Astorino. “The county is asking for nothing more than to be treated fairly under HUD’s own rules.”

Astorino further accused HUD of holding the county hostage and asked the board adopt an act authorizing the county

attorney to proceed with a lawsuit against HUD if they withhold the money.

“How that helps advance affordable housing, which we all agree is vitally important, is best left to HUD to explain,” said Astorino. “It is important that Westchester protect itself from the federal government.”

Astorino said introducing source-ofincome legislation is now in the hands of the Board of Legislators.

Ken Jenkins, chairman of the Board of Legislators, urged Astorino to comply with the terms of the settlement.

INBRIEF Regeneron adds jobs

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. expects to create more than 400 jobs as part of an expansion of its Mount Pleasant corporate headquarters and laboratories, the company announced.

The biopharmaceutical research and development company, headquartered in Greenburgh, will add two buildings with 300,000 square feet of laboratory and office space to its complex at the Landmark at Eastview. Construction on the buildings is expected to begin late this year and to be completed in late 2015.

Regeneron has about 590,000 square feet of space at the Landmark and will occupy another 85,000 square feet of additional space there later this year.

Regeneron has grown from 682 employees in 2007 to 2,000 today, including more than 1,300 in Greenburgh.

“Our recently approved drugs and our robust development pipeline have transformed Regeneron into one of the largest and fastest-growing biopharmaceutical companies in the United States,” CEO Leonard S. Schleifer said in a prepared statement.

RuLing AdVAnces cVs in ARmonk

A CVS Pharmacy Inc. store proposed in Armonk has cleared a legal barrier raised by local opponents.

State Supreme Court Justice Joan Lefkowitz on April 4 dismissed an Article 78 petition brought by Concerned Citizens of Armonk, a group formed to prevent CVS from coming into the hamlet in North Castle.

Lefkowitz said that Concerned Citizens could not show how the CVS would negatively harm businesses or how the town failed to comply with the state Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) by neglecting to consider the impacts of CVS. “Economic concerns, such as fear of business competition, are neither within the zones of interest or not sufficient to confer standing under any of the statutes which petitioners invoke,” Lefkowitz ruled.

Concerned Citizens has 30 days to file an appeal. The 20,000-square-foot pharmacy would replace an A&P Supermarket that closed in February 2012.

A person who answered the phone confirmed that they were the same company.

In January, bus matrons, who supervise New York special education students that attend school in Westchester, protested, claiming that the city wanted to replace them with minimum wage workers.

Playland deal kick-starts fresh debate

BY SaM BarrON sbarron@westfairinc.com

P

layland’s days as a county-run fun park could be ending.

County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced that he has reached a 10-year agreement with Sustainable Playland Inc. (SPI) to run Rye Playland and take it off the county’s hands.

Several key county legislators remain skeptical.

SPI will take over the county-run park on Oct. 1, assuming all approvals are met, including from the county’s Board of Acquisition and Contract. SPI plans to invest $34 million in the park.

“Not only will the Dragon Coaster and the other historic rides be preserved, but the attractions will be expanded to make the park a destination for families year round,” Astorino said in a statement. “We have the vision and expertise in place for Playland to thrive for generations to come.”

Under the agreement, SPI will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of both the amusement area and the surrounding 100 acres of parkland. Proceeds to pay the county, maintain the grounds and make improvements will come from equity investments from the operators, fees SPI charges its operators, revenues generated by the attractions run by the operators, and other revenue such as parking and sponsorships.

“The SPI plan is designed to preserve, restore and enhance the historic character and qualities of Playland, including the historic amusement rides, the classic buildings and the landscape,” Kim Morque, president of SPI, said in a statement.

Democratic legislators said they were not ready to support the agreement, saying they have not read it and questioning whether it violates the county charter. According to an opinion by County Attorney Robert Meehan, the legislators must approve any major changes made to the park.

“The Astorino administration said its goal was to stop losing money at Playland, but Sustainable is not the way,” said Majority Leader Pete Harckham (D-Katonah). “From what we have seen and heard during numerous committee meetings held on the subject, Sustainable is the least competitive financially. But most importantly,

this agreement essentially privatizes county parkland.”

Harckham said the other three finalists – Central Amusements International, Legoland, and Standard Amusements L.L.C. – are capitalized and ready to invest in Playland. He would like the administration to work with the board on this process.

“Let’s work successfully and collaborate,” Harckham said. “Let’s finish our review. Let’s work collaboratively to come up with the best proposal for residents and taxpayers. We have a lot of questions about Sustainable Playland.”

While the administration wants this done as soon as possible, Harckham said it’s simply not fair to rush.

“The administration has taken over two years,” Harckham said. “To put gauntlets and deadlines on the board is unfair to the process. We need to do due deliberations.

We are almost complete with our analysis.

We have to make sure we come up with the best product for Westchester.”

Legislator Catherine Borgia (D-Ossining), chairwoman of the government operations committee, said she doesn’t think SPI’s plan is financially secure.

“They are a not-for-profit shell corporation that’s subleasing to vendors,” Borgia said. “Westchester does not get its money until those areas are profitable. It’s very risky financially.”

Borgia also criticized SPI’s plans to reduce the size of the parking lot and amusement park.

“Their plan just doesn’t make sense,” Borgia said. “There are more financially viable options on the table. This is too important for political jockeying.”

Geoff Thompson, a spokesman for SPI, said that Astorino’s announcement was a major step forward for the project.

“We feel our plan is the right and smart approach that addresses the issues that confront Playland,” Thompson said. “We have a year-round plan that’s balanced.”

Thompson said their plans will make the park accessible by being open yearround and allowing the community free access.

“This can be profitable,” Thompson said. “It will help taxpayers by lowering the debt.”

Donna Greene, a spokeswoman for Astorino, said the county executive stands by his selection of SPI. “We had a committee of experts evaluate this,” Greene said. “The county executive wouldn’t recommend it if he didn’t think it was a good plan.”

A new shop in London’s Berkeley Square, the largest of his 14 stores worldwide – check. A grand reopening this spring for his expanded Madison Avenue flagship store – check. Plans to open an Atlanta store this year – check. A new 70-piece luxury line of home goods, the Island Gift and Entertaining Collection, inspired by de la Renta’s native Dominican Republic – check and check.

De la Renta even scored an improbable PR coup by opening his New York

design studio to John Galliano, the former Dior bad boy, who was shunned by the fashion world after an anti-Semitic rant two years ago. Such is the gracious Oscar touch – offered with a forgiving, helping hand – that the Anti-Defamation League approved.

So White Plains Hospital could hardly do better than teaming with de la Renta’s couture for a gala April 25 fashion show that will celebrate 120 years of being one of Westchester’s top community hospitals.

The event will feature the iconic

designer’s couture in a runway show, along with a video presentation, live auction, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Mary Jane Denzer, whose eponymous White Plains store is a trove of designers like de la Renta, and Susan Yubas are the event chairs.

“This event will allow us to celebrate 120 years of growth and success at White Plains Hospital in a very special way at a wonderful and unique venue,” Dawn French, White Plains Hospital’s vice president of marketing and community rela-

tions, said of the 800 Westchester Ave. setting, home of the RPW Group.

All proceeds will directly benefit White Plains Hospital. The event, which takes place from 6:30 to 10 p.m., is sponsored by the Medical & Dental Staff of White Plains Hospital, the Gilbane Building Company, D.B.L Associates, the RPW Group and Westchester Anesthesia.

Tickets are $200 and reservations are recommended. For more information or to buy tickets, call (914) 681-1040 or visit wph120.org.

The White Plains Hospital gala fashion show spotlights Oscar de La Renta fashions like these.

SPECIAL Health REPORT Care

Hypertension still a deadly risk Salt, obesity, stress … its abettors abound in modern life

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

G

et Dr. Marvin Moser talking about the history of hypertension treatment and you might not believe what you hear.

The Scarsdale doctor known around the world as an authority on cardiovascular disease and hypertension said it was only back in the 1920s through most of the ’40s when doctors were prescribing what is now considered “radical treatments” to help people reduce their blood pressure.

These ranged from low-salt diets so extreme that patients were limited to a menu of fruit juice and rice administered in a boot-camp atmosphere to injecting typhoid bacilli, a move that would bring a high fever that in turn would dilate blood vessels.

By the late ’40s, drug treatment was being introduced, and therapies have continued to progress, Moser said.

“There were developments of dozens of drugs, each one a little more effective, each one a little more safer.”

Today, there are countless options for treating hypertension. Untreated, dire complications come into play. An elevated blood pressure, generally considered more than 140/90, puts the body at greater risk of stroke and heart and kidney failure.

The importance of identifying and treating hypertension is not always understood, said Moser, emeritus editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Hypertension who has also served as chairman several committees of the National Institutes of Health. He is a clinical professor of medicine at Yale University School of Medicine and he continues to lecture and write on hypertension.

“A problem with hypertension is it doesn’t hurt,” he said. “Most, but not all … most people don’t have any symptoms.”

But once it is diagnosed, the treatment is often straightforward, he said.

Today, a doctor might see a patient, prescribe pills to lower blood pressure, make sure they are working and then see that patient every six months for monitoring, a long way from less than a century ago.

While treatment is readily available,

the main cause of hypertension is often not understood, he added. Most assume it’s a direct result of high stress.

Stress is a factor but not over the long term. Moser said blood pressure may indeed rise when in an emergency situation, such as a fire or when going through a trauma such as the death of a loved one.

But he added, “There’s very little evidence that chronic stress is a major cause of high blood pressure.”

It is though, he noted, a “contributing factor.”

“There’s a lot of calm cool characters who have hypertension,” he said.

Often, the culprit is more diet-related.

“In most people, it’s probably the inability to handle salt as effectively as they would like,” Moser said. “About 40 percent of the people, we don’t know the exact number, are salt-sensitive.”

After 30 or 40 years of excessive salt intake, usually from a combination of salt added to meals and that already found in processed foods, the body starts to fail.

When it comes to eating better, Moser said most people know to avoid the usual high-salt suspects such as canned soups, but a perhaps unexpected source is baby food that can start the problems at the youngest age.

“Salt is an acquired taste,” he said.

“We’re not born craving salt.”

Carrying extra weight is another strain on the body and it impacts blood pressure.

“Yes, obesity is a major contributing factor for hypertension,” Moser said.

It all adds up to a continuing need to focus on hypertension education, prevention and treatment, said Moser.

“It’s one of the great stories of medical care,” he said of hypertension Even though, he added, it’s harder to get people to listen.

“It’s a great field, but it’s very boring,” he said.

“Students certainly appreciate the prevention of coronary disease,” he said, but noted it is not a field that’s considered cutting edge. Hypertension is often diagnosed and treated, he said, and the patient continues to live a normal life.

“The drama comes when 10 years from now you say ‘I haven’t seen a stroke in these people.’”

Dr. Marvin Moser

Risk Factors Hypertension comes from the “nature vs. nurture” playbook of life’s maladies.

Nature predisposes some to hypertension via family history (you’re more likely to get it if a close relative has it); age (more than half of Americans older than 60 have it to some degree); and even race (African Americans can get it at younger ages and in greater numbers).

The “nurture” elements that have impact on hypertension include diet, physical activity, medicines and overall health.

The two numbers of a blood pressure reading reflect first the systolic pressure (while pumping) and second the diastolic pressure (at rest between pumps). The normal range high end is 120/80.

It’s that kind of success that seems to keep Moser dedicated to his chosen field – and spreading the word through publications such as the new ninth edition of his seminal book, “Clinical Management of Hypertension.” “(Doctors) give a lot of lip service to patient education,” he said regarding hypertension. But, he continued, when you go to many medical offices most of the materials are focused on AIDS, breast cancer and diabetes.

“They have very little on high blood pressure,” he said.

That is why the foundation of which he is president – the Hypertension Education Foundation – is dedicated to patient education, distributing booklets and offering online support at hypertensionfoundation.org.

After all, Moser said, education is paramount when it comes to treating hypertension: “It’s a controllable disease.”

A

s the Affordable Care Act marches from court-challenged to courtupheld and onto the bottom line, businesses continue to face challenges if they intend to comply.

The Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a panel discussion titled “Surviving Health Care: What Businesses Need to Know” at Cortlandt Town Hall.

The panel discussion, moderated by Bruce Apar of Yorktown Pennysaver Corp., featured accountants, health insurers and executives at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt discussing the ins and outs of the game-changing legislation.

The ACA applies to employers with more than 50 full-time employees that work more than 30 hours a week, requiring businesses to provide health insurance or face penalties.

The health care industry is often touted as Westchester’s largest economic engine, generating $10 billion and 30,000 jobs.

Businesses with fewer than 50 full-time employees are not required to offer health insurance.

Dr. William Higgins, president of the medical staff at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, said that the hospital had been prepping for health care reforms for years.

“It’s business as usual here,” Higgins said.

“It really hasn’t been that bad.”

Higgins said before the ACA was implemented, the hospital had begun changes.

Effective 2015, physicians will be reimbursed based on the better care they offer patients rather than being reimbursed by having more patients. Fees will be paid based on patient outcome rather than services rendered.

“Health care is being driven toward the health of the patient,” said Mark Webster, CFO at Hudson Valley Hospital Center.

“Doctors will try to force healthy behaviors.

They are trying to drive healthier options.”

He expects an ACA-related spike in insurance rates.

Hospitals will be penalized if they exces-

sively re-admit patients.

“Providers will have to pay lots of money to help implement this and I don’t see a lot of money coming back to them,” Webster said. “I expect to see larger deductibles and co-pays”.

Under the ACA, states are required to set up their own health care exchanges by October or have the federal government do so for them.

New York became one of the first states to comply with the order to create an exchange per an executive order from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The exchange opens Oct. 1 and will begin selling insurance coverage on Jan. 1.

Last October, New York formally selected Oxford EPO as its essential health benefits benchmark plan and has received more than $300 million in federal grants to set up the exchange. The state expects to select its insurers by July 15.

Businesses have to decide whether to offer insurance or have their employees get insurance through the exchange and incur a penalty. The penalty is a complicated formula involving the number of full-time employees multiplied by $2,000.

Even offering employees coverage does not leave businesses immune to penalties.

Employees can receive tax credits for less than satisfactory insurance plans. And the employer may be subject to a penalty.

To get around the ACA, some employers have been cutting hours or laying off employees to get their number of full-time employees below 50.

“The people who need health care the most will be hurt the most,” said Kenneth McGevna, an accountant with McGevna and Associates CPAs in Yorktown. He called the ACA “an atrocity.”

Mark Kessler, director of strategic initiatives for HealthPass, a nonprofit commercial health exchange, said that small businesses with one to two employees should team up and buy insurance together to keep costs down.

Small businesses are eligible for a tax credit if they have fewer than 25 full-time employees and their salaries average less than $50,000.

companies using tech, games to keep workers health-savvy

nstead of sending out mass emails or holding more meetings, businesses with employee health and wellness programs are beginning to embrace technology platforms to encourage their employees to improve and monitor their health.

About 75 percent of businesses that participated in a recent survey reported using technology-related strategies to educate their employees about health benefits and healthy lifestyles.

More than 60 percent of businesses responding to the survey, conducted by human resource organizations WorldAtWork and Buck Consultants L.L.C., reported using games to motivate employees to adopt healthier lifestyles, while 36 percent had used mobile technology and 50 percent had used social media.

More than 360 businesses with a median size of 2,500 employees contributed to the survey.

“With health reform, every organization is struggling with complying with new health care regulations, as well as managing the rising cost of health care,” said Betsy Woods

Brooks, a principal at Buck’s communication practice in Stamford, Conn. “It’s a huge emphasis for our company right now.”

Buck, a subsidiary of Norwalk-based Xerox Corp., is a global human resources and benefits consulting company. In addition to retirement and compensation services, the group also creates technology platforms for companies to implement their wellness communication strategies. “(Employers) know they can’t shift costs onto employees anymore,” Brooks said. “So now they’re introducing health and wellness programs that focus on health awareness and preventive care – modifying lifestyles so employees are healthier to reduce long-term costs and absenteeism.”

“But in order to do that, you really need effective communication,” she said.

A crossword puzzle can demystify health care lingo like “copayment” and “coinsurance,” while a mobile application can store medical policy information and direct communication from an employer, Brooks said.

Brooks said Buck helped Aéropostale Inc., a national clothing retailer with a workforce of primarily young women, to create a Facebook page for pregnant employees.

The page provided prenatal informa-

tion and support to employees and allowed users to post tips and share photos and stories. Brooks said if the page had helped the employer avoid one premature birth, which is often very expensive, the cost of the page would be covered.

Yet not all companies have bought into each kind of technology platform and half of all those that do utilize a platform aren’t sure of its effectiveness, according to the survey.

Many have privacy concerns about using social media like Aéropostale did and about a third of respondents said they didn’t think their employees were ready for a technology platform or didn’t see it as a good fit within their organization’s culture.

Most were unsure of their platforms’ effectiveness; however only 10 percent to 20 percent of businesses surveyed had actually attempted to measure its success rate. Of those who did, most said the programs were “somewhat effective.”

Brooks said she was most surprised that companies were not measuring their programs’ return on investment, but said she believes using technology can be very effective.

After creating a first-person game for one company, Buck found a significant increase

in employee understanding, based on beforeand-after survey results. After completing the game, 55 percent of employees said they understood why their health policy was in place, up from 38 percent. About 62 percent said they understood how their works, up from 35 percent, Brooks said.

“With technology we have new ways to motivate employees,” Brooks said. “It’s more engaging, it’s fun, it’s entertaining, which is so important – to grab employees’ attention – because people are so busy today. You’re really competing with so many messages and distractions.”

FACES& PLACES 200 gather for regional meeting Leaders from around the Hudson Valley found much to agree on April 4 at the DoubleTree Hilton in Tarrytown. Two-hundred business persons and civic leaders made for a packed house at the second annual Pattern for Progress “Regional Leadership Conversation.”

Pattern for Progress President and CEO Jonathan Drapkin moderated along with Ulster County Executive Mike Hein, who also serves as president of the state’s County Executive Association. Their guests on the dais were County Executive Rob Astorino of Westchester; County Executive MaryEllen Odell of Putnam; and Harriet Cornell, who has served nine terms in the Rockland County Legislature, four of those terms and currently as its chairwoman.

Larry Wolinsky, managing partner with Jacobowitz & Gubits and chairman of Pattern for Progress, introduced the VIPs and set the theme of regional cooperation – a Pattern hallmark – by noting the Pattern board of directors serves the entire Hudson Valley.
