The can-do energy is palpable. Actor Robert DeNiro is convincing. Its message is one often voiced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his election campaign and since taking office in 2011: New York is back and open for business. Both the message of the marketing campaign and its reported $140 million price tag, however, have their critics, such as Orange County businessman Edward Arace, who sees form over substance. “The point is to get (business) site selectors to take a second look at New York,” said Arace, principal of A&R Global Consulting in Warwick. “Once they take a second look at New York and compare costs to other locations, when they do that, despite Selling, page 6

hospitals end merger talks BY JOhN GOldeN jgolden@westfairinc.com

NeGoTIATIoNS oVer A corporate consolidation between Westchester Medical Center (WMC) and Sound Shore Health System (SSHS) that was expected to financially strengthen and keep open Sound Shore’s two community hospitals have ended after nearly six months. The recent announcement that merger talks had reached a dead end came solely from Westchester Medical Center officials in Valhalla. That was in contrast to the joint announcement last December that the hospitals had begun exclusive talks to explore forging a “formal corporate relationship” to create what WMC President

and CEO Michael Israel called “a stronger, more vibrant health care organization.” “Health care in Westchester just got stronger,” Sound Shore Health System President and CEO John Spicer said after the December agreement was announced. WMC officials in their brief May 7 statement described the focus of the negotiations as “a possible acquisition” by WMC of the Sound Shore and Mount Vernon health care facilities. “WMC was prepared to dedicate enormous resources to the effort to keep these clinical sites open and upgrade them to better serve New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and the surrounding communities,” said WMC spokesman David Billig.

wenty-five years ago Dave Steck defined the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. If you recall armies of youths sporting spiked hairdos around Tompkins Square, “That was me,” he said. “The Lower East Side crowd dressed in black has grown up.” Now 47, Steck, his wife and daughter, live in Yonkers. He rented an office April 1 for his company Numeric Pictures at 28 Wells St. “We were strictly city people,” he said. “I could never imagine leaving the 212 area code. Now I live five to 10 minutes from my office, not even enough time to make a call on the way.” Steck is not alone in the migration. “My neighbor is the producer of a major TV show,” he said. “Another is a big Broadway guy; another is with the New York City Opera; and another is a very big movie producer in the neighborhood. Yonkers offers proximity to New York City, but you can escape New York City. The cost of living is cheaper and the parking is easier. There is a like-minded group of people up here already, or when they come they say, ‘I should get an office up here.’ Right now I am looking out my window at the Hudson River and the Palisades; I could never afford this in Manhattan.” The trajectory of Cortlandt’s Alchemy Post Sound and its coming move and Foleystage studio construction in Peekskill is intracounty, but is riding the same celluloid wave. Husband/wife team Leslie and Andrea Bloome for the past 18 months have run a Foley studio in Cortlandt, where they also live with their two children. Andrea called the current space “too small” and the company’s new space of 3,500 square feet in the renovated Hat Factory on Division Street “perfect.” Foley work is the art of adding sound to movies. “When they shoot a movie, they have to replace just about everything,” Andrea Bloome said. “It is highly nuanced. For heels clicking on a sidewalk, you need the right heels and the right surface. We could probably find the sound of a particular car door closing, but it would not have the sound

of the hand engaging the handle.” For breaking bones, wet shammies wrapped around celery stalks and crushed “make a visceral squishy sound,” she said. “We use microwave oven doors, dishes, match books … It’s a performance art.” Alchemy Post Sound has benefits from a 2012, 30 percent tax credit on post-production work in New York state. Its work on feature films like “The Place Beyond the Pines” and shows like cable’s “Nurse Jackie” continue apace in part at least because of it. Previously, only filming received the credit. “It began last year,” Andrea said of the credit. “But it really got traction this year. It’s made a big impact.We’re busy and others are busy. We’re getting overflow work from other studios. It’s a growth industry at a time when there are not a lot of growth industries. The tax credit means keeping post-production work here. People are bringing shows here and now I feel like they are keeping the business here instead of shipping it back to L.A.” The Foley stage – now swept clean – will open for business in August. Steck’s punk roots found fertile soil in corporate America. “We are a creative product company in that we do all the creative concept and scripting of a project and then we can take that project in-house through post-production and on to delivery.” His clients include Fortune 100 companies and boutique startups. He employs by specific projects, which could mean hiring staff to run a local trade show or hiring 300 to produce a year-long project. “Even when I had a Manhattan office, I’d rent bigger offices wherever they were needed depending on the project.” Among his odder achievements was to help Pringles in October 2010 assemble the world’s largest number of potato chipcan drummers in Mount Pleasant, Mich. Other clients include Procter & Gamble, Boar’s Head and Oracle. Government assistance has been critical to both Steck’s and Bloome’s enterprises. Steck said if he calls the city of Yonkers, the city responds immediately. He has organized a film festival for the city to air in October: YoFi.

Nonprofits told to get creative for funding BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

or nonprofits to reach their pre-recession heights, they need to be active, ambitious and not afraid to fail. The United Way of Westchester and Putnam and the Westchester Community Foundation offered that take and more at the Not-For-Profit Leadership Summit XI at the Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown Monday, May 6. The event featured speakers Seth Godin, author and entrepreneur, and Ilir Zherka, a human rights advocate. The economic recession has made life difficult for nonprofits, attendees heard. Repercussions include the loss of seasoned staffing at organizations that channel funding. “It’s very hard,” said Debra McGinness, executive director of Select Human Services Inc., a Pleasantville-based nonprofit assisting people with developmental disabilities. “We’ve had budget cuts and a decrease in reimbursement from the state.” McGinness, who partners with the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, said there has been turnover since the recession hit and she is now dealing with people with little experience. “It’s hard to get any direction,” McGinness said. After a five-year economic slog, McGinness sees the economic downturn as opportunity, including collaborating with other nonprofits and figuring out how to do more with less. “We need to think outside the box more,” McGinness said. One way Zherka said to think outside the box is to be more active with elected officials and be involved in lobbying, despite the negative image “lobbying” can confer. “You have to think about your mission and whether you should exist,” Zherka said. “Not-for-profits have a moral obligation to represent the people they advocate for. It’s part of our jobs; it’s what you have to do. It’s not enough just to provide services.” Zherka said nonprofits need to be effective at framing their issues. He pointed out how global warming is now called climate change and the fight for gay marriage is now called marriage equality. “How do you want people to understand your issue?” Zherka said. “Advocacy does not have and endpoint. Be ready for a long-term fight.” Zherka said nonprofits need to play role in influencing elections and advocating for their issue. “Elections decide major policies,” Zherka said. “This is not dirty. This is the way our system works. You can find unlikely allies. Don’t ever assume opposition. Give a person an opportunity to surprise you.”

Grodin said nonprofits have the chance to change the world by being innovative and by standing out. “This is the chance of a lifetime,” Grodin said. “Everyone has more resources than the last king of France. The industrial economy is over and has been replaced by a connecting economy. The better we get the more value we create.” Grodin said nonprofits will succeed when they create connections with other people. Instead of trying to appeal to the masses, nonprofits should appeal to the perhaps offbeat, but passionate people who will spearhead their project.

“Do not wait for Bill Gates,” Grodin said. “The normal won’t support you. Do work that’s worth talking about. You have a platform to do art. No one is stopping you.” Too many charities try to eradicate a problem now rather than preventing it in the future, because it is easier to obtain donations for now. This hurts charities in the long-term, Grodin believes. “You need to tell your stories to the people obsessed with your cause,” Grodin said. “Not ones who will donate now and then forget about you. Don’t be afraid of failure. If failure is not an option, than neither

is success.” Joseph Ferraro, a certified fundraising executive for Mount Kisco-based AFP Westchester, an organization assisting nonprofits in fundraising, said the recession has caused nonprofits to drastically reduce staff. “They have cut back in areas to their peril,” Ferraro said. “In a recession, organizations need to be more aggressive so they are ready for when the market gets stronger.” Ferraro said since the recession he has seen an increase in people downsized from their corporate jobs who want to enter the nonprofit workforce.

DEALS &DEEDS

BoMa ConferS InduStry HonorS

Owners of two Yonkers developments recently received Hall of Honor awards from the Building Owners and Managers Association of Westchester County (BOMA) for their contributions to the county’s economic growth. The honors were among several bestowed May 2 at the 22nd annual awards dinner of BOMA Westchester. Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center CEO Patricia Tursi accepted the award on behalf of the nonprofit nursing facility for medically fragile children that opened in March 2012 at 300 Corporate Boulevard South in Yonkers in March 2012. The organization relocated from leased space in Manhattan to a newly built 165,000-square-foot center that is home to 137 children with complex medical conditions and disabilities. Tursi noted the state-of-the-art Yonkers facility is the only long-term pediatric center in the nation certified by the U.S. Green Building Council for reaching the “gold” standard of energy-efficient construction in the council’s Leadership in Environmental

Energy and Design (LEED) program. Forest City Ratner Cos., the Brooklynbased developer of Westchester’s Ridge Hill in Yonkers, also received BOMA’s Hall of Honor tribute. The 1.3-million-square-foot mixed-use development on an 81-acre site employs 1,600 workers in its restaurants, retail and entertainment businesses and 160,000-squarefoot office building, said Forest City Ratner Executive Vice President Kathryn Welch when accepting the award. BOMA officers said the $842 million Ridge Hill development generates an estimated $24.2 million in annual sales tax revenue. The BOMA chapter also handed out three Westchester County Signature Awards in an evening of banter, musical entertainment and industry accolades catered by Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown. Architect and building owner dennis Noskin accepted the Creative Real Estate Deal of the Year award for his purchase of Manor House, a nearly 100-year-old building with 8,100 square feet of office space at 100 White Plains Road in Tarrytown. Looking to relocate his Dennis Noskin Architects office from his 55 S. Broadway property to accommodate a tenant, Noskin worked with broker Glenn Walsh and the Manor House owner, Gary Juster, whose Juster Development Co. is headquartered at

120 White Plains Road on a 10-acre parcel that included the Manor House. To complete the move within a narrow four-month time frame, the deal required a subdivision and zoning board and planning board approvals. New Jersey-based Normandy Real Estate Partners, owner of The Exchange officepark portfolio in Harrison and White Plains, received the Comeback Building of the Year award for 2500 Westchester Ave. in Purchase. Built in 1984,the four-story 177,000-squarefoot office building “has had significant capital improvements and tremendous leasing buzz this past year,” BOMA officers said. More than 45,000 square feet of leases were completed, including Quorum Federal Credit Union’s relocation to a 22,000-square-foot office there. Ten employees at Reckson Metro Center in downtown White Plains were honored with BOMA’s Signature Building Team of the Year award. The 360 Hamilton Ave. property is the flagship building of Reckson, a division of SL Green Realty Corp. Tom Giantomidis, building property manager, accepted the award for his team.

Seeing opportunity in low vacancy rates and high rents, Wood Partners L.L.C., a national developer of high-density multifamily housing based in Atlanta has opened a branch office at 777 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. The office is the 16th opened by the

15-year-old company in a major U.S. market. ray Smith, a commercial loan and real estate finance specialist, will manage it. Smith said Wood Partners is targeting New York’s “millennial generation,” some 80 million young adults who, studies indicate, are more inclined to rent than buy. With billions of dollars in student loan debt and a still sluggish job market, they are likely to be renting rather than buying for the foreseeable future, he added Wood Partners CEO ryan dearborn said the national home ownership rate peaked at 69 percent in 2004 and is likely to continue falling after dropping to 66 percent by 2011. With rising apartment occupancy and rental rates, “Multifamily asset values have been rising as well, with interest rates and capitalization rates at or near historic lows.” Woods Partners’ current national portfolio includes nearly 20,000 apartment rental units.

all the ad material or puff pieces, New York is still one of the most expensive places to do business. “Look at cost of housing, sales tax costs, cost of living, property taxes, utility costs in New York. It’s a nice idea to say we are so good; you see these types of ads all over the country, getting good penetration. What happens when you get down to the nitty-gritty of costs here versus someplace else? Does the ad hold up?” The New York State Open for Business campaign reportedly runs half of its ads instate and half beyond New York’s borders. National outlets like CNN and cross-border television markets by the dozens confuse the issue of where they are running. A 10-month study of tax incentives by The New York Times provides data that dwarf the ad campaign’s costs. The state offers some $4 billion per year to make or keep New York attractive as a place to live and work, according to the study. Incentives include $1.82 billion in corporate income tax rebates and reductions, $1.11 billion in property tax abatement and $871 million in sales tax refunds and exemptions. Manufacturing, the film industry and agriculture all benefit with incentives topping the $100 million mark for each. The ads are paid for through Empire State Development (ESD), the state’s chief economic development arm, which operates

in this fiscal year on a $53.25 million budget authorized by the state Legislature. The ad campaign; though, is not included in the agency’s operating budget. The New York Times reported that funding comes in part from the state’s public authorities, including the New York Power Authority, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and Dormitory Authority of the State of New York. The federal government’s $40 million contribution to promote New York businesses and tourism in the Hurricane Sandy disaster area also reportedly will be channeled into the ad campaign. Of the nearly $140 million marked for the campaign, the state reportedly spent $24 million on ad buys in 2012 and $12 million so far this year. The governor’s office said it is necessary for the state to market itself. “New York state has sat on the sideline for years as other states have spent hundreds of millions of dollars making the case that theirs is a place people should visit and do business,” said Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s director of communications. “We are doing everything we can to level the playing field to bring businesses and jobs to the state of New York, and will continue to double down on those efforts as long as this governor is in office.” “It has to be a substantive campaign with real updates and news,” said John Ravitz, executive vice president of The Business Council of Westchester. “Four to five years ago, businesses weren’t looking at New York. We need to make it more of a level playing field. We lost

many businesses to other states.” Ravitz said the state must use the media to tell its story. He feels the state has found its footing, particularly as a biotech capital. “We’ve seen a lot of businesses come here,” he said. “Hopefully we’re moving in a positive direction. We are trying to make New York friendlier for businesses.” Michael Durant, executive director of the state chapter of the National Federation of

“Our members do not feel as optimistic as the ad campaign leads you to believe.” — Michael Durant, state director, National Federation of Independent Business

Independent Business, was critical of the campaign, disagreeing that New York is truly open for business. “We have a long way to go,” Durant said. “The work to be done that the campaign states we’re at is pretty extensive. Our members do not feel as optimistic as the ad campaign leads you to believe.” Durant said while an ad campaign is

“WMC has now concluded that it has no alternative but to terminate these discussions,” he said. “Sound Shore appears to have a dramatically different view than WMC about how to best balance resources between investment in improving the Sound Shore/ Mount Vernon facilities and the obligations that the Sound Shore System has accumulated over the years. “In keeping with our mission, WMC will be pursuing alternative approaches to ensuring that the people of New Rochelle and Mount Vernon will always have access to the kind of health care facilities they deserve.” Sound Shore officials in New Rochelle did not respond to a request for comment. Sound Shore Health System operates the 252-bed Sound Shore Medical Center and the Schaffer Extended Care Center in New Rochelle, the 196-bed Mount Vernon Hospital and the Dorothea Hopfer School of Nursing at the downtown Mount Vernon hospital.

health care systems between New York City and Albany. Its operating budget last year was about $325 million, Spicer said at the start of consolidation talks. A public benefit corporation, the 643-bed Westchester Medical Center operated on an $871 million budget in 2012. Both the SSHS hospitals, with about 500 physicians, and WMC, with about 900 physicians, are teaching affiliates of New York Medical College, which shares a Grasslands campus with WMC. Spicer and Israel last winter said that is one of several common elements and shared services between the institutions.

Spicer last winter said finding an academic medical center partner had been part of Sound Shore’s strategic planning since 2011. Though partnerships with other institutions were explored, “Eventually all roads led to Westchester (Medical Center) for a number of reasons,” he said. “We think it’s very important for this community that it’s a Westchester-based hospital.” Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx also is said to have expressed interest in partnering with Sound Shore. “They certainly went through extensive due diligence,” Kevin W. Dahill, president and CEO of the Northern Metropolitan

important, the state should first work on easing the regulatory and tax burdens placed on businesses. “An ad campaign will not change anyone’s mind about New York’s business climate,” he said. “It’s a pretty ugly picture. We need to find a sensible balance in the needs of labor and business. Marissa Brett, executive director of the Westchester County Association’s Blueprint for Westchester, said the state must market itself to further economic development. “It is a commonly accepted practice to have an aggressive marketing campaign,” she said. “New York being open for business is a great message. We need to increase incentives for businesses and cultivate global partnerships. It’s a winning formula.” Assemblywoman Sandra Galef, D-Ossining, said the ads are effective and that New York needs to do all it can to recruit businesses to reduce the tax base. “It’s always expensive when you’re using the media,” Galef said. “We want to show that we’re not the same high-tax, tax-and-spend state as before. We want to show that we can provide low-cost power and that taxes have a cap on them. “It’s worth a try. You have to do promotion” in media markets. “You cannot have everybody standing on a street corner.” “We want people to know there’s an upstate,” she said. “There are good energy and water resources. It’s a great place for companies to live. We don’t need a campaign like this for New York City.”

Hospital Association and principal of Suburban Hospital Alliance L.L.C., said of the six-month process by the two parties. Dahill said he did not know the reasons why the consolidation talks collapsed. “These things happen,” he said. In the due diligence process, “You literally are putting everything out there.” “They both are trying to pursue strategies and I think they both concluded that they need more scale…I think they’ll both go back and reevaluate their strategies and see what other opportunities are out there.” Dahill last winter called the merger talks between WMC and SSHS “the tip of the iceberg” and predicted there will be more hospital consolidations over the next one to two years. WMC and Sound Shore were the first parties to take the due diligence step, he said after negotiations ended. “I think everybody’s exploring what they need to do over the next few years because of the changes that are coming, but nobody’s taken it to the level of due diligence.” “I think it’s going to be a fluid, dynamic time,” said Dahill, “especially as we go into the summer and fall”.

Insurer and bank end tussle and make nice Billions were at stake

By Bill Fallon bfallon@westfairinc.com

legal battle lasting better than a year between Bank of America and Armonk-based bond insurer MBIA with the potential for a trial with $4.5 billion at stake has ended with an agreement to shake hands on a $1.7 billion settlement and walk away partners. The settlement reportedly sees Bank of America paying MBIA $1.6 billion in cash and another $137 million in financial instruments, plus a stock option. The deal also includes a $500 million secured, revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, wherein MBIA can use the money for “general corporate purposes.” “This comprehensive and important settlement is a very positive step forward for both Bank of America and MBIA,” said state Department of Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky in a prepared statement. “It is the culmination of more than a year of negotiations. It resolves significant exposure and expensive litigation for Bank of America, while also giving MBIA a path forward. We appreciate both parties’ willingness to work in a reasonable

fashion to find common ground. Ultimately, this settlement is good for all sides, but most importantly, it is good for our financial markets and for our financial system.” In 2011, the state rolled its finance and insurance oversight into the Department of Financial Services, bringing both MBIA and Bank of America under the department’s umbrella. The antagonisms between former adversaries MBIA and Bank of America date to the mortgage crisis. During the downturn, Bank of America bought a number of companies, including national mortgage lender Countrywide and finance giant Merrill Lynch. Merrill at the time was allegedly owed some $3 billion from MBIA. But MBIA at the same time was accusing Countrywide of misleading data on Countrywide’s troubled mortgages, which MBIA had insured. In dissolving the fracas, MBIA spokesman Kevin Brown said, “Bank of America will have no further put-back liability to MBIA with respect to the insured Countrywide transactions.” MBIA was originally seeking $4.5 billion from Bank of America. “We are very pleased to have reached

A.G. and banks lock horns over mortgages BY Bill FAllON bfallon@westfairinc.com

ew York’s attorney general has accused Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Bank of America – each with prominent regional footprints – of a combined 339 violations of a 2012 federal mortgage agreement and expressed a willingness to right the alleged abuses via lawsuit. Not so, said Wells Fargo and B of A of the charges. The banks in separate statements professed both transparency and an eagerness to address the allegations. Wells Fargo further lamented Attorney General Eric Schneiderman had chosen a public forum to air the allegations rather than engaging in “constructive dialogue.” The attorney general in a prepared state-

Westchester County legislators approved $8 million in bonds to improve the main terminal and a hangar used by JPMorgan Chase and Co. for its corporate jets at Westchester County Airport. The bonds will help replace boilers, air conditioning units, baggage carousels and generators. Airport revenue will also be used to pay for the upgrades. The JPMorgan hangar, Hangar E, will have improvements made to its water systems. In 2012, the airport had 1.75 million passengers, down from 1.9 million in 2011 and its lowest count since 2007. The airport had 3,100 fewer flights last year, a 2 percent decrease from 2011. Airport officials expect a $2 million revenue decrease this year compared with 2012, as they deal with the loss of AirTran Airways. Though owned by the county, the airport is self-sufficient and does not rely on county tax dollars, though it does receive federal funding. The airport has recently invested in stormwater equipment to ensure it stays open during the winter. – Sam Barron

ment May 6 said, “Signed in 2012, the mortgage settlement required the five largest mortgage servicing banks in the United States to improve their customer service practices by complying with new mortgage servicing rules, known as the Servicing Standards. Among these are four standards dictating the timeline for banks to process mortgage modification applications. The attorney general’s office has documented 339 violations of those standards by Wells Fargo and Bank of America since October 2012.” Bank of America responded via Senior ViceTWB President for Communications Dan 5th Anniversary Frahm, who said in an email to the Business WCBJ – Group A Journal: “Through March we have provid7.375” w x 7.125” h ed 5/6/13 relief for more than 10,000 New York homeowners through the National Mortgage Settlement, totaling more than $1 billion. Attorney General Schneiderman has referenced 129 customer servicing problems, which we take seriously and will work quickly

to address. This agreement has been good for New York, and we continue using these beneficial programs to assist troubled homeowners in New York and nationally.” Wells Fargo issued the following statement: “Wells Fargo is committed to full compliance with the National Mortgage Settlement and its associated standards. It is unfortunate that the New York attorney general has chosen this route rather than engage in a constructive dialogue through the established dispute resolution process. “We fully support the rules established under the settlement and we will continue to provide transparency into the progress we are making to provide relief to consumers,” Wells Fargo continued. “Wells Fargo has helped more than 70,000 homeowners across the country through national mortgage settlement programs and we will continue to do everything we can to help all borrowers, including the New York families described

today.” The five banks in the settlement were Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, Ally/ GMAC and JPMorgan Chase. According to a joint statement from 49 state attorneys general, “The 2012 settlement provides as much as $25 billion in relief to distressed borrowers and direct payments to states and the federal government. It’s the largest multistate settlement since the Tobacco Settlement in 1998. “The agreement settles state and federal investigations finding that the country’s five largest mortgage servicers routinely signed foreclosure related documents outside the presence of a notary public and without really knowing whether the facts they contained were correct,” the attorneys general said, calling the practices illegal. “The settlement provides benefits to borrowers whose loans are owned by the settling banks as well as to many of the borrowers whose loans they service.”

Mobile lifestyle can have a legal impact estate planning

BY BeRNARd A. KROOKS

any New Yorkers have embraced a decidedly mobile lifestyle. They think nothing of seasonal migrations in search of temperate weather. Their families may be far-flung, prompting frequent out-of-state visits. Or they may be trying out a potential retirement spot. We account for the highest percentage of Florida’s temporary residents, often choosing to call it home. But while it’s simple to buy a plane ticket and have the mail forwarded, legal documents don’t always cross state lines so easily. Differences in state law can have big implications for estate planning and longterm care. In some cases, one jurisdiction may not even recognize documents drafted elsewhere due to differences in execution requirements. And you could face unexpected tax bills as governments struggle to fill their depleted coffers. Generally speaking, spending 183 or more days per year in a location will make you subject to local residency requirements. If you maintain your legal residence in one state for purposes of voting and taxation, but spend significant time elsewhere, it pays to do some contingency planning.

At a minimum, you should discuss your residency situation when you meet with your attorney to review your will, trusts and other important estate planning instruments. It may be wise to consult an attorney in each state to ensure that you’re in compliance with all regulations and that you take full advantage of any favorable differences. I’ve had an increasing number of clients ask about the benefits of having attorneys collaborate across jurisdictions. Parents had begun spending more time in Florida or due to frailty, were moving back to New York to be closer to family, and they didn’t want to suddenly discover that careful estate planning had been rendered invalid. While a well-drafted trust can stipulate that it be administered according to the laws of the originating state, it may not be advisable to have one state interpret the statutes of another. Other documents may prove even more challenging. An advance directive can become entangled by something as seemingly trivial as the number of witnesses to your signature. As a result, doctors and hospitals may fail to respect living wills or health care proxies. Banks may not recognize financial powers of attorney. The result could be chaos when you’re least prepared to cope.

Probate, the procedure through which property is transferred to heirs, poses more questions. This process typically takes place where the decedent was domiciled, but if real estate is owned in more than one state, probate must be initiated in each location, possibly involving different deadlines. Even if the decedent was legally resident elsewhere, states have been known to claim estate taxes when local ties were extensive enough.

Long-term care Over 70 percent of New York nursing home expenses end up being covered by Medicaid, but eligibility and covered services vary by state. So it pays to understand how to navigate the system wherever you or your parents plan to spend your senior years. In addition, there’s growing interest in “filial responsibility” laws, under which adult offspring could be held accountable for the older generation’s expenses. So if Mom or Dad suddenly requires nursing home care that isn’t covered by Medicaid – even for a few months – a son or daughter could suddenly become liable for huge bills. While New York does not currently hold adult children liable for their parents’ nursing home costs, in a recent case in Pennsylvania, a court held an adult son

responsible for his mom’s nursing home expenses.

Income tax Since Florida has no state income tax, it could be tempting to declare yourself a resident if you pass the 183-day test, but New York is particularly aggressive about claiming taxes from individuals with connections here. You need to take steps to relinquish your New York residency, including the divestiture of real estate holdings. New York residency audits are on the increase and you’ll bear the burden of proof, including documentation of how long you’ve spent where. Failure to present a compelling case could leave you responsible for state taxes. Don’t let legal snarls complicate your chosen lifestyle. A second home and carefree travel are often the fruit of a lifetime’s effort. With a little research and planning, you can avoid untimely complications. Bernard A.

supports these values and brings substantial, long-term benefits to our customers, our region and Central Hudson.” The recent recommended decision by two administrative law judges confirmed the value of all of the proposed financial benefits to customers, CH said. “In addition to avoiding the ongoing costs we would incur as a publicly traded company, the agreement provides $5 million in customer benefit funds to enhance economic development and low-income programs, and $35 million to offset costs normally paid for by customers, including those of recent storms,” Lant said. “These benefits are real, substantial and would not be available were it not for this merger agreement, as was noted in the recommended decision. Of great concern to us is that the decision did not recognize the nature and value of the stand-alone model under which Fortis utilities operate.” Stan Marshall, president and CEO of Fortis, said his company model “places key decisionmaking authority at the local level – with existing employees and a board of directors with strong, local representation, thereby retaining Central Hudson’s close relationship with their customers and the communities they serve.” – Bill Fallon

Central Hudson will continue working for approval of its proposed merger between parent company CH Energy Group Inc. and Canadian energy company Fortis Inc., despite a recent advisory opinion by the state Public Service Commission recommending against the deal in its current form. “Together with Fortis, we intend to file exceptions regarding several conclusions in the recent recommended decision that are simply not supported by the record in the proceeding,” Steven V. Lant, chairman, president and CEO of CH Energy Group and Central Hudson’s chairman, said in a statement. “We welcome the opportunity to participate in further discussions with the Department of Public Service and other parties in order to gain approval of the merger agreement.” Lant said the regional utility company believes the concerns expressed in the decision can be successfully resolved and that the transaction is still expected to close in this second quarter. “As the Mid-Hudson Valley’s local utility company, Central Hudson recognizes the critical importance of providing superior customer service and supporting the communities we serve,” said Lant. “We also recognize that Fortis is a strong partner who

esidents rallied at county headquarters in White Plains Monday, May 6, demanding the Board of Legislators pass a law prohibiting landlords from denying tenancy based on source of income, including Section 8 housing vouchers. At the meeting attended by 20 proponents of the law, legislators decided to delay a vote for two weeks to give themselves more time to study it. County Executive Robert P. Astorino proposed the law to ensure the county receives $7.3 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Before reinvigorating the measure, Astorino vetoed similar legislation in 2010. Approving “source of income” legislation is part of the county’s 2009 anti-discrimination settlement with HUD. HUD has threatened to withhold the grant money if the law is not approved. Per the settlement, the county is required to build 750 units of affordable housing in 31 mostly white municipalities by 2015. Marlene Zarfes, director of fair housing for Westchester Residential Opportunities urged legislators to approve the law. “Right now, doors are unreasonably closed,” Zarfes said. “This law prevents landlords from

turning away an entire class of home seekers. Good responsible people receive these vouchers and it affords them a chance to live in decent housing. Any one of us could find ourselves experiencing hardship.” Source of income covers Section 8, social security benefits, veteran’s benefits and other forms of assistance, including child support and alimony. “This law needs to be passed as soon as possible,” said Dennis Hanratty, executive director of Mount Vernon United Tenants. “There should be no more delays.” Another resident, David Schwartz, said landlords could still deny tenants based on their references, credit or rental history. “This is a win-win for all involved,” Schwartz said. “Don’t let landlords tell you differently.” Valerie Pierson said everyone deserves the right to fair and affordable housing. “When a landlord does not take Section 8, he is telling you that you don’t deserve a place to live,” Pierson said. Recently, the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals ruled against Astorino, claiming that he violated terms of the settlement by vetoing the legislation in 2010. The court rejected Astorino’s argument that the legislation would violate home rule, and could come into conflict with the zoning codes of Westchester municipalities.

This is upside down at the customer’s request.

Stop reacting and start planning My employees, managers and I get bogged down with dayto-day issues. I know that as owner I should be planning and directing where the business is going. What advice do you have to help me stay on top of priorities?

ThouGhTS oF The dAY: Identify the top objectives for the company and continuously review where you are versus those objectives. Set up systems for people to meet and share information. Celebrate progress. Organize teams to work on persistent problems. What’s the sightline on the horizon that everyone in your company is focused on moving toward? Get clear on that and it’s easier to figure out if everything you’re doing is heading the company in the right direction. Without major goals it’s easy to drift off in the wrong direction. Write down what you want the company to accomplish in the next five years. Consider the following: • double revenue, triple profit;

• add one new employee for every $150k of gross profit; • operate within budget; • reduce operating costs by 1 percent to 3 percent a year; • add enough clients each year to allow the company to dump the bottom 5 percent – the least profitable and most troublesome; • sell new products; and • expand marketing reach annually while reducing the ratio of marketing spend/revenue. Set up a meeting schedule to review progress, discuss obstacles and agree on the next actions to be taken. Meetings can be great. Improperly managed, meetings can also suck the energy out of any group. Limit meetings to an hour; max two hours. Break up long days of conferences into a series of one to two-hour activities. Work with intention. Make sure enough of the right people are involved. In my experience, it is more likely that too few people will be invited to meet, than too many. Don’t be afraid to ask people to give up “work time” to attend meetings. People need to share information in order to function well. Use meetings to inform, brainstorm, analyze and problem solve.

poses require different formats. Informationsharing meetings do best if data are presented in report handouts or overheads with handouts. Brainstorming meetings need a facilitator who can document what’s being said. Analysis and problem-solving meetings need to be focused toward a desired outcome: to reach a conclusion, solve a problem, etc. It helps to understand that we remember only 15 percent of what we hear, 50 percent of what we write down and 85 percent of what we hear, write down and play back. Take notes in every meeting. Start meetings with a review of the previous meetings’ notes. Know whose job it is to take and disseminate notes. Get notes out within one to two days of the meeting’s conclusion. Build a culture of success by taking time to acknowledge and celebrate progress toward goals. Use checklists of to-do’s to stay on track. Recognize groups of people who are getting their tasks done according to the commitments they’ve made. Every organization runs into problems from internal and external sources. Teach employees to be comfortable bringing up issues in meetings. Take time to brainstorm the source of problems. Assign task groups to work on rooting out the causes.

Omni seeks records win BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

arrytown-based OmniMD wants to bring medical records into the 21st century. OmniMD, a division of Integrated Systems Management Inc., is a finalist in the Patient Portal for New Yorkers Challenge, a design competition held by the New York eHealth Collaborative, a public-private partnership between providers and the state. The winners will be announced May 13, with first place receiving $15,000. The Patient Portal should allow patients to access their personal health information online, safely and securely. Once patients log into the portal, they will be able to see who has viewed their medical records as well as grant access to select providers to view those records online. After the competition, the health collaborative will build the portal and coordinate its function with the Statewide Health Information Network of New York, which is billed as “a secure network for sharing clinical patient data across New York state via regional health information organizations. “We are in an e-world,” Divian Da’ve, CEO and president of Integrated Systems Management said. “We track everything electronically, everything is online. But what about patient records? The most important thing is our body and we have no electronic access to it.” Da’ve said the goal is for patients to have their complete and secure medical records online. This would also make it easier for doctors to share files with each other. Patients will find the medical terminology has been reduced to layman’s terms. “We want to give people a rich user experience,” Da’ve said. “We want to provide a great level of skill and access. Anybody who uses the patient portal should have a complete view of what is going on. We want accessibility.” OmniMD provides “electronic health records, revenue cycle management solutions, and other medical software and services to over 11,000 providers and 660 practices.” NYeC asked designers and developers to submit patient portal prototypes. The finalists will show their prototypes to a panel of selected patients, physicians and experts who will evaluate each prototype and select a winner. Da’ve said patient records are still stuck in the 20th century and remain one of the reasons health care costs have skyrocketed. According to Da’ve, health care is the secondlargest burden on the gross domestic product. “Dr. Jones does not know what tests Dr. Smith has done,” Da’ve said. “The same tests are repeated; the wrong treatment is given. Dr. Jones has no idea and it increases the cost of medicine tremendously.”

Supermarket sweep in Chappaqua BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

happaqua Crossing is reportedly close to announcing a tenant for its planned supermarket. A spokesman for Summit/Greenfield, the joint company that owns the former Reader’s Digest property, said there is interest from five supermarket chains, with one company “very interested.” An announcement is expected in the weeks ahead. Summit/Greenfield declined to disclose which companies are interested. “All of the interest has come from wellknown companies,” spokesman Geoff Thompson said. “The consumers won’t have a problem recognizing the name.” Chappaqua Crossing is hoping to obtain a retail overlay zone from the town of New Castle to allow it to put 120,000 square feet of retail, including the supermarket, on the site. The retail aspect would replace existing office space. Many Chappaqua residents have opposed the retail plan and have shown up at public hearings at town board meetings to discuss Chappaqua Crossing’s draft supplemental environmental impact statement. Some feel the project is inappropriate for the neighborhood and would destroy downtown businesses. The planning board expressed skepti-

cism about the plan, concerned about traffic and whether there is a need for another supermarket in the area. The town board is accepting comments through mid-May. Thompson said despite the opposition, the companies feel the property is a great spot for a supermarket. “Each of the companies has done their own market research,” Thompson said. “They’ve tested it on their own. There is a level of interest for a supermarket here.” Chappaqua has been without a true supermarket since D’Agostino Supermarkets Inc. closed following damage incurred by Hurricane Irene and was replaced by Walgreens. D’Agostino was 14,000 square feet; most supermarkets are at least 25,000 square feet. The prospective supermarket would be between 36,000 and 66,000 square feet. “This will be a real supermarket and a high quality supermarket that residents will appreciate,” Thompson said. The developer, a partnership of Summit Development L.L.C. and Greenfield Partners L.L.C., both real estate services and investment companies based in South Norwalk, Conn., said a market and retail component could generate $650,000 in property tax revenue annually, bringing the total real estate taxes from the site above $3 million annually.

concept for the site proposed by Tom Curley, a member of the planning board. Curley has proposed buildings lined up on a main street, going west from Route 117, with retail and condominiums lining it. A roadway running north-south would be used for the townhouses. Curley said this would make the site more like a hamlet rather than a shopping center. Summit/Greenfield bought the 114acre property for $59 million from Reader’s Digest Association in December 2004. It had initially proposed building 348 units of agerestricted condominiums and townhouses. The town eventually approved 111 units of housing, 20 of which are affordable. BartonPartners Architects Planners Inc., of Norristown, Pa., has designed the proposed changes to the buildings to blend with the neo-Georgian look of the original Reader’s Digest building. Retail space at the southern end of the property will have a complementary architectural style. The retail center would have 600 parking spaces. Parking for the existing office space would be relocated to maintain the required 1,680 spaces for the offices. The remainder of the space not used for retail would continue for office use. Currently Northern Westchester Hospital, Mount Kisco Medical Group, Fiber Media and WeeZee Sensory Gym are tenants.

College launches off-site river studies Sarah Lawrence College has teamed with the Hudson River Valley Environmental Education Institute to set up Sarah Lawrence’s first off-campus research facility. Sarah Lawrence and HRVEEI will establishing The Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at the Beczack Environmental Education Center in Yonkers. The center will allow on-site fieldwork research opportunities for students in soil and water analysis, collection, preservation of biological samples, and for various projects centered on the ecology of the lower Hudson River and the Saw Mill River. Students will also participate in the continuing work of the Beczak Center, including educational outreach concerning the environment to K-12 students in the Yonkers community and beyond. No date for the first classes was announced.

Security plans boast Marine pedigree A former Leatherneck embraces behavior analysis

By Bill Fallon bfallon@westfairinc.com

atrick Van Horne, 29, is a Marist graduate and enrolled in the MBA program at Fordham University. He lives in Chestnut Ridge. Eighteen months ago, he opened an office in Tarrytown for his business, Active Analysis Consulting. He targets the bad guys in what is currently a one-man shop. It is Van Horne’s defense-themed life trajectory that provides his credentials: seven years a U.S. Marine, much of it teaching antiterror tactics at California’s Camp Pendleton. “Originally, I taught behavior analysis to deploying Marines,” he said. “After a while, police departments and security personnel were signing up. There was no one training them to read behaviors.” Now, he said, “The same observational skills I teach to police – how to recognize threats – are appropriate for big corporations, workplaces, schools, churches, malls and movies. The principles are designed to identify attacks before they occur.” He calls the method “absolutely doable.” Violence is not new, but it seems to be getting closer to home and business life? Is this perception valid? “I believe it is, but what’s more important is that there is the perception that violence is increasing and also occurring in areas where we would expect to be safe. Shootings in places like malls, schools, movie theaters and other public places are still statistically improbable, but each successful attack undermines the confidence we that have in our personal safety.” Threats can be vague. Shareholders and taxpayers demand tightly run companies and governments. Is a balance achievable? “It is, but it requires intelligent and innovative approaches to recognizing threats. Focusing solely on defending against ‘outsiders’ by installing more bulletproof glass, metal detectors, turnstiles and

more security guards only defends against a portion of the possible threats. This needs to be balanced with educating employees, teachers and the general public how to recognize people with violent intentions. This is what will allow us to protect against the insider threat in workplaces, schools, and public places as well as the outside threat.” Any evidence in Westchester that companies and governments are embracing more security? “There is, but people are looking for solutions that empower them to ensure their own safety, not continuing to rely on other people to do it for them. Companies are looking for training so they can provide their employees with the ability to provide for their own safety. Developing this ability in employees goes beyond recognizing just workplace related violence and helps keep them safe after the workday is over, as well.” Businesses seem to escape direct targeting, or do they? “I don’t believe there is a difference between being targeted directly or indirectly. If you look at the shooting at the Empire State Building last August, when a fired employee shot his former boss, or when the Associated Press had its Twitter account hacked, whether the companies affected were the direct target or not is irrelevant to the fact their company suffered from the impact. Movie theaters that experienced a loss in sales due to the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, were not associated with the attack, but need to prepare in just the same way to reduce that risk.” What is “situational awareness,” a term which you use? “Situational awareness is being alert and actively checking your surroundings to ensure your own safety. People who are unaware of what is happening around them will miss the cues that could alert them to the indicators that present themselves before an attack. This goes beyond just looking for unattended packages, but also assessing the intentions of the people

around you. For example, a person who is trying to avoid detection before an attack may begin to give off uncomfortable cues if they are worried about getting caught.” What do you mean by “being unnecessarily uncomfortable”? “Uncomfortable cues are just one example of behavior that is uncontrollable and universal. The way the body responds to stressful situations is through what many people know as the freeze, flight or fight response. Behavior that otherwise might be referred to as anxious or nervous are one way to identify when someone is experiencing a stress response. When someone is attempting to conceal their intentions, such as smuggling a gun or bomb past a security checkpoint, this could be one indicator that would allow people to identify those who stand out from the crowd. Westchester is rich in office parks. Are they practical from a security standpoint? “There are strengths and weaknesses to securing buildings of all sizes. While office parks will have a greater number of entry points and a greater number of people coming and going, they also have more resources to dedicate to security than a small building might. No risk, however, can be reduced to zero. The only way to ensure that there aren’t any workplace violence incidents is to have no employees, which of course isn’t practical. The goal is to find a level of risk that is acceptable and by educating people on how to read behavior they can separate those with violent intentions from the crowd they hide among. This is how we can proactively identify these individuals, prevent violence and reestablish our sense of safety in public.”

Patrick Van Horne

Companies are looking for training so they can provide their employees with the ability to provide for their own safety. Developing this ability in employees goes beyond recognizing just workplace related violence and helps keep them safe after the workday is over, as well.” — Patrick Van Horne

Is there a generational disconnect in the perception of threats, with one generation “getting it?” “I don’t see a disconnect between generations, but typically the people who are in a position to influence a security budget are older and have more experience.”

Westchester school budgets reflect increases in security our current system was working and no holes” as they hired a firm headed by Howard Safir, former police commissioner for the New York City Police Department. In Rye, newly appointed Superintendent Frank Alvarez brought in a firm he had worked with in New Jersey. The Rye district study cost $20,000. Immediately after the Newtown shooting, Rye added security officers to its three elementary schools. Prior to the Connecticut school shooting, Rye had security only at the high school and middle school. This implementation will be reflected next year in costs to the district of approximately $132,000, as outlined in the district’s annual budget vote mailing to taxpayers. One district has put a “security bond” item on the ballot as well. Rye Neck school district has a $1.4 million proposal that would allow it to upgrade communication and security systems with state of the art equipment at each of its schools. The district will be eligible for $400,000 in state aid toward this upgrade and through the state formula for such funding the repayment would be spread over a seven- year period. Not all security upgrades are visible to the public, however. Speaking at a meeting host-

s Westchester taxpayers prepare to go to the polls later this month to vote on their respective school budgets, they will face the usual tax increases to cover rising pension and medical insurance costs. This year, however, there is an unfunded mandate that’s likely to cause major increases in some districts – school safety. Shortly after the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., Westchester school districts began to examine their safety plans at the behest of concerned parents. Many districts sought outside professional help in the form of security consulting firms to assess the level of security in their schools. Several districts commissioned security audits. New Rochelle school district, for example, paid one such firm $40,000 for a security review. John Quinn, assistant superintendent for business in New Rochelle, said, “We wanted to bring in a big name to ensure

ed by Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino at SUNY Purchase and attended by 400 educators and law enforcement officials in March, Harrison schools Superintendent

One district (Rye Neck) has put a “security bond” item on the ballot as well.

Louis N. Wool told the audience that “Our upgrades are not immediately visible for reasons of confidentiality, as they should be.” Police presence has also been increased on a daily basis in Harrison, as well. Prior to the latest concerns over school safety, school security was already a significant budget item for Westchester schools. Most districts use a combination of personnel, including hall monitors, general aides or civil service security employees. Many districts also employ contracted security through security companies. Port Chester school district, for example, just awarded a security firm $300,000 to provide uniformed personnel in all of its elementary schools. They cover the high school and middle school with in-house personnel. In a recent letter to the editor of The Journal News, Ed

Kliszus, superintendent of schools for Port Chester, explained that the increased security reflected the community’s concern for safety. Mount Vernon school district employs approximately 94 security officers, all of whom are represented by the teachers union. Pocantico Hills, the county’s smallest school district increased security by adding an additional security position effectively doubling the security presence. Said Jay Scotto-Friedman, assistant superintendent for business, “The parents have been very supportive of our increase in security, and it’s comforting to the staff to know that someone is checking everyone who enters our school”. Speaking to a group of parents recently at a presentation in New Rochelle, Safir told the audience, “Unfortunately we live in a society where violence does not discriminate, and is spontaneous.” While it may seem unfortunate to many that such funds must be spent on security rather than on education in the schools, it appears that Westchester school districts have met this challenge in a variety of creative and responsive ways for their constituents. This will be reflected in the proposed school budgets for the 2013-2014 school year put before the voters on May 21. William Stump is the senior security consultant for NJB Security Services Inc. in Mount Vernon.

ENTA is growing in place BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ENT & Allergy Associates L.L.P. (ENTA) will consolidate and expand its headquarters operations in Tarrytown this summer and close its Mount Kisco office, officials at the fast-growing 140-physican practice said. With the consolidation, ENTA will hire additional employees to staff a patient contact center to be built in the expanded headquarters. The practice, which has grown to include 38 clinical offices in New York and New Jersey, has leased an additional 9,390 square feet of office space at 560 White Plains Road in Tarrytown, bringing its total space there to 23,455 square feet. The nearly 200-employee practice has grown to be the largest tenant and largest employer in the building. ENTA will move its marketing and customer service operations and other functions from 666 Lexington Ave. in Mount Kisco to Tarrytown. The Mount Kisco office will be

closed and leased to another medical practice. The planned 1,800-sqaure-foot patient contact center will serve all of ENTA’s clinical offices. Trained staff will handle questions from patients on billing, appointments, insurance coverage and other subjects related to their medical care. The in-house call center is expected to relieve front-desk staff in the practice’s clinical office s of interruptions to answer phones and thus eliminate what ENTA officials called “a significant cause of increased wait times and patient dissatisfaction.” ENTA has hired John I. Monreal to manage the patient contact center. Monreal, named a 40 Under 40 Rising Star by The Business Council of Westchester in 2006, previously was regional director of STA Travel. “As a practice, we are always looking for innovative ways to operate at maximum efficiency so our patients will receive the best care possible,” ENTA CEO Robert Glazer said in a statement.

Ruby’s mother makes a movie & a company is born BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ine-year-old Ruby Rabil wondered why her mom was not the parent taking her to school one recent morning in Armonk. That is one of those things her stay-athome mom, Tamara Rabil, has always done. Tamara told her daughter she had an early interview with a reporter who was writing about her movie – their movie. There have not been many yet, but interviews come with her new career. It’s a career and a business born of a mother’s public unburdening of a private fear and harrowing memory. A native Virginian, Tamara moved to New York after college to pursue a career in the fashion industry. She already was a licensed insurance agent, having worked for her parents in the insurance business they owned in Richmond. In Manhattan she spent about 15 years at fashion’s epicenter, working as an executive at Ralph Lauren’s and Donna Karan’s design companies and at Guess Jeans. Along the way she met Al Rabil, a successful real estate banker and investor in offcampus student housing properties who cofounded and is managing partner of Kayne Anderson Real Estate Partners. “I fell in love,” Tamara tells us over coffee in the office of her new production company, Wild Angel Films, in an Armonk business park. Her husband’s real estate office is one floor above at 200 Business Park Drive and when the phone rings in Suite 204, it’s often Al calling, Tamara says amusedly. Three kids later, it’s still a tight marriage. “He’s a scratch golfer,” she says. “I was not about to be a golf widow. Golf widow is not in my program.” So she took up golf, a sport in which, to her professionally appraising eye, women were handicapped by wretched fashions. So Tamara about 10 years ago started a women’s golf apparel company, TEGNA – Total Emphasis on Golf’s Necessary Apparel, that is. Her clothing line was sold in private country club shops and retail stores. She gave up her business to be a stay-athome mom. “The fashion industry isn’t flexible enough if you want to be with your kids and still work,” she says. But having grown up in a family that shared both business and home life, “I didn’t realize how hard it would be to give up working.” About three years ago, “I was at one of those turning points where I wasn’t fulfilled at home intellectually and creatively.” A brochure she’d received from the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville proved serendip-

Tamara Rabil at her Wild Angel Films office in Armonk

itous. She decided to enroll in a class at the center’s Media Arts Lab. It was the first of 17 classes the 41-year-old mom has taken there. “I didn’t know a lot about film,” she says. “For me it was like change, like the deep end of the pool. That made it more exciting.” In a class taught by a documentary filmmaker, students were asked to list what they were most afraid of as a potential writing topic. “I wrote, Being an unfit mother,” Tamara recalls. For a class assignment, she took home a video camera to tell a story about that which she most feared. She went to a park and duct-taped the camera to a ladder and sat down in front of it. She told a story that would become the basis for “Unburden,” an emotionally laden, 19-minute movie that will be shown May 19 at Jacob Burns as the first in the center’s Spotlight Production series of student films.

Its original working title was “The Unfit Mother.” It is, says Tamara, the story of a young mother learning “what it’s like to bring a child into this world and six weeks later, almost takes her out.” Ruby, the Rabils’ firstborn, was six weeks old when her mother bumped her carrying seat against a door jamb in their Armonk home. The baby fell headfirst onto a hardwood floor. She was breathing but she did not cry, and her parents rushed her to a hospital emergency room. The infant had a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. Doctors examined her for other injuries that might have been inflicted by abusive parents. Tamara feared Ruby would be taken from their home by Social Services. “I was a wreck,” she recalls. . Her parents drove through the night from Virginia to the Greenwich hospital. Tamara’s mother, Martha Rogers, to whom

the film is dedicated, lifted Ruby and handed her for breastfeeding to a fearfully reluctant Tamara. “I didn’t want to pick Ruby up because I was afraid I was going to do more harm than good,” Tamara recalls. Her own mother “showed me what it takes to be a mom, the perseverance that it takes.” “Honey, she needs you,” says Martha’s character in the film. Tamara calls her the hero of this family story. Working on the raw, 16-miunte “confession” she told to a video camera, Tamara spent six months with a professional scriptwriter “learning and crafting how to tell a story for film…Finally we got a version we were proud enough” to put into production in partnership with the Jacob Burns center. Financed by the Rabils, it is the first professionally produced film by a Jacob Burns student, Tamara says. A 26-person crew largely composed of film center staff shot it over four days last July at three Westchester locations – the Rabils’ home in Armonk, Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco and Chappaqua Hand Car Wash, where a rainy night driving scene was filmed after business hours. Tamara found her work as executive producer on the film “just like running a small business. I did everything; they (the crew) did everything too.” Its production cost? “A small car,” Tamara answers discreetly. “Unburdened” has won two awards in the six film festivals in which Tamara at Wild Angel Films has entered it. She shows us a glass trophy from the Gasparilla International Film Festival in Tampa Bay, where the Westchester production won the grand jury prize for a narrative short film. It has also been screened for sociology classes at SUNY Purchase. “I never thought that I would actually give it to the world at these festivals,” she says. The founder of Wild Angel Films plans to present more films with parenting themes to the world through her production and distribution company. Two projects, based on other mothers’ stories, including a featurelength film, already are in the works.
