A site on Buena Vista Avenue. The project, which Dearden estimated will cost more than $100 million, was first presented to city officials in 2009. Metro Partners that year paid $450,000 to acquire from the Yonkers Downtown Waterfront Development Corp.avacant,environmentallycontaminatedpropertyat 41-49 Buena Vista Ave., site of the architecturally distinctive but deteriorated Teutonia Hall, a cultural center built in 1891. The developer plans to raze the brick building after dismantling its historic facade and replace it with an apartment building marketed to attract Metro-North commuters as tenants. Metro Partners is targeting the same young professionals market that has filled the com-

made-in-Westchester model for health care is being imported to New York City by a renowned institution and soon could be brought to other parts of the country by a business offshoot of the private physicians group that developed the model at its“polyclinics” in the county. AtWestmed Medical Group headquarters in Purchase, Dr. SimeonSchwartz,founderandpresidentofthemultispecialty group practice, called the partnership deal negotiated in the last year and announced this month “an industry-transformative event” in health care. A major New York hospital, the Mount Sinai Medical Center, will outsource a 75,000-square-foot outpatient medical office in Brooklyn to a small private company, Westmed Practice Partners, he said. Schwartz called the partnership a first by a hosSIMEON SCHWARTZ pital for “a strategic initiative of this magnitude.” Mount Sinai is the first outside client for Westmed Practice Partners since the division was formed last year at Westmed Medical Group. The opening of the Mount Sinai Brooklyn Heights Medical Group office represents a $15 million to $20 million investment, Schwartz said. Westmed Practice Partners will apply the expertise WestmedhasacquiredatitsoutpatientcentersinWestchester, Schwartz said. “This is going to look like a Westmed facility and it’s going to function like a Westmed facility.” Westmed in the last year opened an 83,000-square-foot, 45-physician multispecialty clinic at the Ridge Hill development in Yonkers and a 28,000-square-foot office in New Rochelle.

he Business Journal recently sat down with MTA Metro-North Railroad President Howard R. Permut to discuss the railroad’s impact on economic development in Westchester and Fairfield counties. The following represents a shortenedversionoftheconversationthatensued:

Business Journal: How has MetroNorth Railroad driven development in Westchester and Fairfield counties?

Permut:“All you have to do is you go look at our train stations and you see where the development is. You can go to the Hudson Line and you see Yonkers and where’s the big development? It’s next to the train station. You go to Tarrytown, it’s next to the train station. In Peekskill, it’s next to the train station... The best example of all is probably New Rochelle, where you have two 60-story apartment buildings right next to the MetroNorth train station. “From a commercial standpoint, all you have to do is look at Stamford and Greenwich. Wherearethesecompaniesbuilding?They’re building next to the train stations...By connecting and providing accessibility between New York City and our territory, we’ve created a huge amount of wealth.”

Why haven’t we seen more activity in the area of transit oriented developments?

“In our country it’s different than places like Japan, like Hong Kong where the railroad owns the land, they build the line, then they’d sell the real estate. That’s why they built the railroads. “Here we don’t do that, so here most of the land has been sold off years ago by our predecessor railroads. They sold off all the land so the private sector is now developing the land and there really is minimal direct economic return to the public sector. “Within Manhattan there are some places where MTA actually owns significant amounts of land, but on Metro-North we don’t have that. But there are a few places where we own land around stations, and so we have tried ... where we are the developer

working with the town. “So Harrison is the one furthest along – we’re in the midst of working with the town right now. It’s a great opportunity for us and it should be a win-win with us and the town.”

What are some of the challenges in looking to spur activity around transit oriented developments?

“In any circumstance, change is always hard. There’s always a group who doesn’t want to do anything. We face that in almost anything we try to do. “We’ve had a couple of places where we’ve worked hard, where we thought there were great opportunities, and the localities didn’t see it that way... The worst case – I will go as far as to say it’s the poster child of what our issues are – is Beacon, New York. We worked extremely well with that mayor, Mayor (Clara Lou) Gould. For six years we had I don’t know how many public meetings. We had all these routes lined up and there was a change in mayors and in a matter of a week or two a whole new set of issues got raised.”

Parking is often cited as a major obstacletonewtransitorienteddevelopments – why is it consistently an issue?

“In lower Westchester County there’s no land to build surface parking, so you have to build structured. Structured parking costs,dependingonthesite,between$25,000 and $35,000 a space. It’s very expensive... It doesn’t pay for itself – you don’t make money on parking. “So it’s a real challenge. And look: Westchesterisafairlycrowdedareasopeople don’t want the traffic that comes with parking. And again, more than anything, a lot of people don’t like change. “Take Poughkeepsie: it took us the better partofsevenyearstonegotiatewiththetown (to build a parking structure) and it took us about two years to build the project. It’s full from day one. That gives you some indication of how hard it was, and I can tell you many stations where it’s taken us five to ten years to get agreements to do projects that take us 12 months.”

What actions can Metro-North take independent of local officials to modernize its stations?

No signs of progress in Harrison train station plans

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

s he glanced out his shop window and across the road at the Harrison Metro-North station, Patrick Butler, co-owner of Butler Brothers food mart on Halstead Avenue, chuckled when asked about the possibility of a new mixeduse development at the station. “They were talking about that 50 years ago,” Butler said. In Harrison, residents, shop owners and elected officials are largely in agreement that a modern transit-oriented development would represent a welcome change for the downtown area. However, after decades of talk and nearly a year after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority first issued a call for proposals for the 3.4-acre property surrounding the Harrison station, the devil continues to be in the details. “I wish it was started yesterday, but whatever we put down there has to be right for Harrison,” said town supervisor and village mayor Ron Belmont. “If it’s not right it’s not going to happen.” The MTA last June issued a request for

proposals, seeking a plan to replace the 3.4-acre surface parking lot surrounding the Harrison Metro-North station with a mixed-use development consisting of retail space and housing units wrapped around a 500-space parking structure. To date, however, there has been no subsequent announcement by either the MTA or the town regarding the transit oriented development request, with no signs of construction in the near future. Metro-North President Howard R. Permut said the transit authority is in the midst of meeting with those developers who submitted proposals. While the property is owned solely by the MTA, any development would require significant zoning changes to be implemented by the town. “We’ve invested about two or three years so far in getting us up to the point where now we’re reviewing the proposals,” Permut told the Business Journal. “We don’t fully control the timeline. I’d love to see us up in construction within 12 to 18 months, but we’ll work with the town ... those discussions will drive the timeline.”

Earlier this month, Harrison officials began the process of amending the town’s comprehensive plan, in part to add a section pertaining to the downtown area and the possibility of a mixed-use transitoriented development. The town plans to hold a public meeting in June to discuss the changes and to generate input. Frank Fish, principal of Buckhurst, Fish and Jacquemart Inc., a Manhattanbased consulting firm that is working with the town to update its comprehensive plan, said any development must jive with the existing infrastructure and setup of the downtown area. “You don’t want to urbanize Harrison – you want to do something within the right context,” Fish said. Much of the discussion in the case of Harrison and other towns contemplating similar transit-oriented developments surrounds the need for parking. Both Fish and Permut said structured parking can range from $25,000 to $35,000 per space in Westchester, giving the proposed Harrison station parking garage a minimum $12.5 million price tag.

“The parking is the key,” Fish said. “That has proven to be, in Beacon for example, the Achilles heel.” In Beacon, plans fizzled after more than six years of discussions between the MTA and town officials when a newlyelected mayor raised the issue of whether the proposed parking structure was too expensive and whether it would have significantly raised rents and taxes at the surrounding properties. Permut called Beacon“the poster child of what our issues are.” “In the case of Beacon we were well down a path, we had a change in mayors, the new mayor changed his mind and so today nothing’s happened in Beacon,” Permut said. “We have limited resources to do this and so we go wherever we think we have the best opportunity for success.” Belmont said the specifications must be right for the town. “We’re still negotiating with the MTA and the developers,” he said. “It’s got to be the right number of apartments and condos. Hopefully there will be an anchor store or two. And there’s got to be the right amount of parking as well.”

Stewart Airport key to region’s growth, ESD director says

BY KATHY KAHN kathykahn@westfairinc.com

tewart International Airport is essential to the mid-Hudson Valley region’s economic growth, Aimee Vargas told the Stewart Airport Commission at its May meeting. Vargas,appointedmid-Hudson regional director for Empire State Development Corp. in July 2011, spoke at length to SAC members of the airport’s vital role as a linchpin in growing the region’s overall economy. “The way ESD operates has totally changed under Governor (Andrew) Cuomo. Along with the formation of the 10 regional economic councils, we have the heads of nearly every state agency sitting at the table with us; it has been a tremendous game changer. We no longer have to try to seek out funding sources, they are right there with us.

“When you have economies as diverse as we have in the counties that make up our region – Sullivan and Westchester are a perfect example – the key is to keep the focus on job creation, both immediate and long term,” Vargas said. Two major roadblocks for economic growth, she said, are the inability to access capital and impediments to current infrastructure – particularly water, sewer and broadband – needed to attract new business. Through the consolidated funding application process, municipalities, nonprofits and for-profit businesses can submit requests for funding for projects.The second round of funding is currently under way with a July 16 deadline. A one-page outline of a project considered a priority should be submitted for discussion to the council. “The idea is tweaked

“

to see if it is a regionally significant project,” she said. Jim Petro, chairman of the Orange County Industrial Development Agency, spoke on behalf of the town of New Windsor. It recently took back 140 acres originally leased to First Columbia to develop. “We have at least 10 old Army barracks that need to come down and the property’s overall appearance is disheartening, to say the least. Is there any way to get funding to have this property spruced up to make it more attractive to site selectors?”Vargas told Petro to get the town’s application in for consideration before the July 16 deadline. Each county has its own challenges, Vargas said.“For example, Rockland’s biggest threat is being right on the border of New Jersey. Our regional council focuses on the unique challenges in each of our member counties and is working to create incentives

”

that will help them meet their individual goals. In turn, we will meet our region’s goals: job creation and retention.” The Mid-Hudson Economic Development Council – Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties – is co- chaired by Dennis Murray, president of Marist College in Poughkeepsie and Leonard Schleifer, president/CEO of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Tarrytown. The next consolidated funding application workshop will be held at Marist June 25. For more information on the process, visit regionalcouncils.ny.gov.

The U.S. Postal Service distribution center at Stewart International Airport was given a reprieve. Originally scheduled to close this year, it was given an extension through 2014, said Chris White, SAC member and aide to U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey. “That doesn’t mean it won’t be discussed again in 2014, when the post office decides what other moves it will make to consolidate its operation. But the good news is our mid-Hudson distribution center will remain open through this year and next.” Michael Torelli, director of business attraction for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at Stewart, said both cargo and passenger numbers saw an uptick of more than 1.2 percent in the first quarter of this year over the same quarter in 2011. – Kathy Kahn

Withanewnationalfocusonvalue-based health care, providers are held accountable for both the quality and cost of medical services,hesaid.Accountablecareorganizations, or ACOs, “are the current buzzword” in a reform-minded industry looking to improve quality of care while reducing its costs. With its multi-specialty clinics, Westmed provides the physical setting for the efficient, coordinated care that ACOs are designed to give, a “one-stop shopping medical experience,” Schwartz said. “What’s attractive for Sinai and for Brooklyn is that we’re giving this organization an ACO in a box. The real value of Westmed is that we have built a model that we are able to deliver, that ACO in a box.” In Brooklyn, Mount Sinai will offer the services of primary care physicians in addition to specialists in cardiology, dermatology,endocrinology,gastroenterology,general surgery,hematology/oncology,nephrology, neurology, OBGYN, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pediatrics, plastic surgery, podiatry, rheumatology and vascular surgery.

brownfield, an industrially polluted ground, andstatetaxcreditsgrantedthedeveloperfor a brownfield clean-up were said to be critical to making the project financially viable. The council noted the required environmental cleanup would severely limit any preservation of Teutonia Hall. They agreed with the city Planning Board’s finding that it would be more cost-effective and less risky to dismantle, store and reassemble the building façade. The mosaic-tiled façade will be rebuilt and incorporated in the two-story façade of a project streetfront adjacent to the apartment tower. Dearden said the façade preservation measures, which will be directed by a building historian, will add about $1 million to development costs. The developer recently gave preliminary site plans to city planners. “Over the summer we’ll be actively looking for financing for construction,” Dearden said. “Everyone knows the markets are tight. That’s the trick now,” after navigating the city approval process. Lenders favor shovel-ready projects, he said. “With the approval of the site plan, we’re shovel-ready,” said Dearden. “We’d love to have shovels in the ground this fall.”

State senators seek to block 1,000 Mw transmission line

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

ore than a dozen New York state senators are stepping up efforts to blockaproposed1,000-megawatt transmission line that would connect clean energy providers in Quebec to downstate consumers. The group, which is led by Republican State Senator George Maziarz of Newfane and includes Republican State Senator Greg Ball of Carmel, argues that the Champlain Hudson Power Express project would come at the expense of jobs at upstate power generating facilities. The proposed $2.2 billion, 333-mile, high voltage direct current transmission cable has been in the works for more than three years. TheprojecthasbeendevelopedbyAlbanybased Transmission Developers Inc., which in February 2010 was acquired by New York City private equity firm Blackstone Group L.P., and would be entirely privately financed. Maziarz told reporters at a press conference in Albany earlier this month that the CHPE transmission line “is nothing more than an extension cord from Quebec to New York City that won’t create a single longterm job while putting tens of thousands of existing jobs in mortal danger,” according to published reports. Neither Maziarz nor Ball responded to calls for comment. Transmission Developers CEO and PresidentDonaldJessomerefutedtheclaims, saying hundreds of jobs would be generated over the course of the transmission line’s construction, with thousands more resulting from an estimated $650 million in annual energy savings for consumers. “We’vedonethemacroeconomicstudies on what the approximately $650 million a year in consumer benefits translates to, and that’s about 2,400 permanent jobs in the state,” Jessome said. The data are based on a study conducted by London Economics International L.L.C. for Transmission Developers. A full copy is available on the Transmission Developers website. The state Senate on May 7 introduced a bill sponsored by Maziarz that would strip electric corporations seeking to build or expand transmission lines connecting a location outside of the United States to a location within New York state of any eminent domain rights. Eminent domain refers to the right of a government to authorize the use of private property for public use, with payment to the property owner. Jessome said the bill, if approved, like-

ly wouldn’t impact the transmission line proposal, but criticized the state Senate for allowing such “single purpose bills.” “Our project has always been designed around all of our land rights being proprietary in nature,” he said, adding that Transmission Developers has been in discussions for more than two years with the major property owners whose land the proposed transmission line would cross. “It can send very, very bad signals to the New York marketplace from an investment perspective that single purpose bills can be put forward that can really dampen the economic climate in a marketplace that’s trying to bring in private equity,” he said. “But we don’t anticipate relying on eminent domain.” Maziarz’s bill was referred to the Senate Energy and Telecommunications subcommittee. The Business Council of Westchester has joined Maziarz in opposing the CHPE transmission project. Ravitz said the state’s generators and transmission facilities currently provide about $600 million in annual tax revenue to the state and localities. “The danger of losing that revenue, the danger of losing those jobs is one that we can’t support. This extension cord to Canada has a lot of problems I think we should be concerned about,” Ravitz said. However,theprojecthasalreadyreceived widespread support. In February, Transmission Developers reached a joint proposal of settlement with the city of New York and thecity of Yonkers, as well as the state’s departments of environmental conservation, transportation, agriculture and markets, and state, and several non-governmental organizations including Riverkeeper and Scenic Hudson. The joint proposal has since been submitted to the state’s Department of Public Service as part of the Article VII process for licensing transmission lines and new power generation sources. Last year, 20 U.S. representatives from New York, including Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey of Harrison, backed the project in a letter to the Public Service department. Additionally, Empire State Development Corp., the state’s chief economic development agency, supports the project and is workingwithotherstateagenciesinforwarding the proposal. For more, including how the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan a “green” safety rating for 2011 following 11,000 hours of inspections, check us out online at WestfairOnline.com.

Health care’s conundrum

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

T:11.5”

top private attorney in national health care law and policy expects the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down a key provision of the federal health care reform bill that requires individuals to obtain health insurance coverage. Nancy Taylor, a lawyer at Greenberg Traurig L.L.P. in Washington, D.C., found most people in her audience at The Westchester County Association’s recent luncheon panel on health insurance exchanges agreed with her prediction. Of the several legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act being considered by the Supreme Court, “There’s only really one question,” said Taylor, “and that is whether or not the individual obligation to have (insurance) coverage is unconstitutional.” She said justices are split 4-4 on that question, with one justice holding the deciding vote. “It will probably be 5-4 unconstitutional,” she predicted. If the insurance mandate is upheld as constitutional, the vote will likely go 6-3, with Chief Justice John Roberts adding his vote to the majority, she said. Meanwhile, 34 states continue to prepare for the scheduled opening of public health insurance exchanges for individuals and small businesses on Jan. 1, 2014. In New York, all planning studies for the new insurance marketplace will be completed by June, said Danielle Holohan, the state’s project director for health exchange planning. No state tax dollars are being used to fund those studies, she said. The Affordable Care Act requires state exchanges to be financially self-sustaining by Jan. 1, 2015. Sol Ross, director of business outreach at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said federal officials have seen “a less than anticipated uptick”in the number of qualified small businesses claiming tax credits of up to 35 percent on health care premium costs for providing group coverage to their employees. The credits began in 2010 and in 2014 will rise to a maximum credit of 50 percent. Ross said the limited volume of tax credit claims could be because accountants for small businesses do not know about the program. Taylor and Russell J. Carpentieri, managing director and co-founder of Opus Advisory Group L.L.C., a benefits consulting firm in Purchase with more than 300 clients, said employers are not dropping their group premium plans and telling employees to shop for individual coverage on the exchanges. “Employers are unwilling to vacate the employer-sponsoredmarketplace,”Carpentieri said. “They say, we’re really committed to the market.”

Look for opportunities to get in the door, prove your company’s value and get a relationship started. When the low-cost bidder is going to get the work, steer clear. Have a set of criteria that helps to sort through the bid opportunities. It’s good that you’re saying you can make a profit on what you’re bidding. Make sure that remains the case. Bidding

doesn’t usually turn out so well. If anything goes wrong, there go the company profits. Look for situations where you can win the bid and then upsell the client. Have a set of additional services packaged and ready to present that are likely to be of interest to the buyer and that will generate more profit for your company. Work out the benefits to the client of accepting those additional services so that when you win the bid it’s a no-brainer to promote the add-ons. Look for buyers who build relationships with their vendors. In other words, they don’t bid out every single piece of business. They know that it’s easier and cheaper to complete the bidding process and then continue on with the selected vendor for a variety of services. When preparing a bid, check that the department issuing the bid has the authority to let additional services. If the contract gets punted from the bidding office to a contract manager, find out if that person has authority to increase the scope of work once the contract is signed. If not, think twice about bidding. If the bid explicitly states that the low bidder will receive the work, or if the bid manager makes it clear that will be the case, you may want to take a pass. In today’s economy, there are lots of desperate sellers willing to cut corners and margins in order to get work. Remember that the greater fool is the one willing to offer the lowest possible price. If there is no recourse for error, changes to work scope or other opportunity to adjust pricing to meet market conditions, you could lose your shirt taking on the work. Don’t do it. Look through all of the bids that you’ve submitted over the past six months to a year. Do a little bit of analysis. Which ones have you been awarded? Did you make a profit on all of them? Which ones were you able to upsell? Did that increase your profit? How

on what you know now about those jobs? Which ones did you think you’d get and you didn’t? If you can, find out what happened with those jobs. Was the buyer happy with the outcome? Oftentimes the buyer will have a bad experience and then be open to alternative vendors without going through the bidding process again. It’s worth a phone call to find out. Tell the buyer you’re closing out your records and just wanted to know how the job ended up. If there’s any sound of disappointment or the job is incomplete, ask how you can get

Feeding a hungry world

Region’s agribusiness has international potential BY KATHY KAHN kathykahn@westfairinc.com

ith New York state exporting $137 billion worth of agricultural products in 2011, the marketing potential for locally produced wines, fruits, meats and dairy continues to grow exponentially – with China rapidly becoming interested in American products. About 75 members and guests of the Hudson Valley Food and Beverage Alliance last week got an in-depth learning session from Kathryn Bamberger, marketing promotion specialist for the state Department of Agriculture and Markets in Albany and Michael Grossman, senior international trade specialist with the U.S. Dept. of Commerce’s Westchester office. “Navigating the Funding Process – A Guide to Agriculture and Rural Development Funding Opportunities and Incentives” was hosted by U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s office at Anthony’s Pier 9 in New Windsor. Through an Agriculture and Markets

program, a component of nonprofit Food Export Northeast, its cost-share reimbursement plan can help qualified companies expand their marketing budgets by up to 50 percent, ranging from $2,500 up to $250,000 per year. To be eligible, companies must meet certain U.S. Small Business Administration guidelines and be incorporated in the U.S. Agriculture Department’s producer cooperatives. There is a $200 application fee for the program and a 6 percent fee on the funding requested as well. Products must contain 50 percent or more of U.S. agricultural ingredients, excluding water and packaging, and be clearly labeled as Product of the U.S.A. Money received through the program can be used for travel to exhibit products at international trade shows, in-store promotions of food items, advertising expenses, as well as packaging and label changes. “It’s an incredible program,” said Bamberger, “and I highly recommend you take advantage ... it sounds tedious, and yes,

it can be somewhat tedious, but the overall benefit makes it worth the effort, particularly when you see the return on investment. Overseas, American food products are in demand and kosher products are attractive because the certification gives it an extra safety certification, even if it is not necessarily better than its non-kosher counterpart.” Shanghai has become a destination in China for tourism and international trade shows. Jinshui Zhang, international business development director with the New York State Small Business Development Center, encouraged wineries to get involved with the New York State Wine Outlet, which has partners in the Chinese marketplace. “There is an emerging middle class in China and as a result, a growing appetite for American wines, beverages and foods,” Zhang said. More than 30 New York state wines will be taking part in an international wine exhibition. Among them are Hudson Valley wineries Brotherhood, Clinton Vineyards and Millbrook. There is no limit S:10” to the number of wines each company can market at the show.

“The Hudson Valley has tremendous selling power,” added Zhang, “but made in Hudson Valley, New York,” takes on even greater significance when dealing with the overseas marketplace.” Bamberger said the Department of Agriculture and Markets is nearly ready to roll out its Empire of Abundance website, which will guide New Yorkers and visitors to wineries, restaurants, farm markets, specialty food markets and more. “It is going to be a tremendous resource for our agricultural community,” said Bamberger. The site, a statewide database of foods, farms and restaurants, will be searchable by product and location and is expected to be in operation by mid-June. TC Sauces owner Chris Selkirk, of Mechanicville, made the trip down to the seminar to learn more about getting his specialty marinades to a broader market.“I’d like to grow my business, so that’s why I’m here. I know it’s a lot of work to get involved in the application process, but if I don’t do it, I will never move any further along. It’s time to sit down and start learning how to do it.”

social media trends

BY BRUCE NEWMAN

Health care and social media

estfair Communications’ recent roundtable on medical issues spurred my interest in medical social media. At this event, five distinguished panelists answered a number of questions concerning the state of the medical experience and care, insurance, costs, Obamacare and a host of other issues. Unfortunately, there was no discussion about the impact of social media. Social media has become an important component in the health field. According to an April 2012 report by the Health Research Institute,“45% of consumers said information found via social media would affect their decisions to seek a second opinion. More than 40% of respondents reported that information found via social media would affect the way they coped with a chronic condition or their approach to diet and exercise.” A further analysis revealed that “community sites had 24 times more social media activity on average than any of the health industry companies.” In short, people are increasingly dependent on social media to learn more about all types of medical issues. The two most widely used platforms, Facebook and YouTube (and others), allow people to share information, support and interact with each other and learn about specific treatments or procedures. Not surprisingly, they also discuss doctors and hospitals. Word-of-mouth referrals are extremely powerful social media marketing and sales tools. A recent study showed that 68% of all decisions to buy a product online are affected by online discussions and comments. That same chatter is also present concerning medical issues and products and patient care with a majority of people willing to share health information on social media. While it is not surprising that the community sites would be more vocal than those of health industry companies, that it is 24 times more vocal should be unnerving to the entire health industry. Negative reviews – justified or not – can severely affect a medical practice. One doctor with whom we worked was the recipient of several negative – and anonymous – reviews of her practice, which, if left unchecked, would probably have hurt her business. Given this huge reliance on social media by the general population and the impact exerted by negative and positive comments, many insurance companies, hospitals and medical practices have begun

to direct more resources towards their social media marketing and management. Social media offers a tremendous opportunity for them to enhance their brand, improve communications with existing patients and attract new ones. It is also far more cost-effective than most of their advertising and marketing campaigns. Some healthcare organizations are using social media and webinars as important education and training tools for their staff. They are also starting to share success stories involving research or treatments on social media. A handful of hospitals are even tweeting live-from-the-operatingroom procedures. (This is going a little overboard for me.) Most important for these medical organizations is the ability to provide accurate information to their patients before and after an appointment. Patients want to know and understand all about their conditions and be able to receive support – which is becoming increasingly important – from their institution and through social media. With 73% of patients searching online for relevant information, it is essential that these medical organizations provide accurate and informative content – which can improve their patient care and attract new business. The Mayo Clinic, for example, is using inexpensive Flip cameras to post videos of patients, doctors, treatments and their experiences. Videos can be very powerful instruments that elicit enormous responses, particularly when integrated into a comprehensive marketing strategy. When one of the Mayo Clinic’s videos went viral, in six weeks it received over 2.1 million views. The social media strategies and implementation that medical practices, hospitals, vendors and insurance companies use can greatly affect their brand, patient perception and trust. It also can improve health management while providing important and relevant information and education to increasingly integrated consumers and providers.

Tough times trumped by desire to become a business owner GET forum brings out business hopefuls

BY KATHY KAHN kathykahn@westfaironline.com

ateway to Entrepreneurial Tomorrows, an economic incubator established by Marist College in 2004, is working to be a game changer for business hopefuls, particularly minority and women business owners who traditionally have the most difficulty in bringing ideas to fruition. GET held its seventh job fair at Rockland Community Campus’ Haverstraw Extension in mid-May, attracting more than 200 hopefuls who wanted to learn how to get their dreams turned into reality. With free business workshops, seminars and how-to clinics, GET offered attendees the opportunity to find out how to move further along the ladder of success. Larry Pontillo, a lender relations specialist for the Small Business Administration in New York City, was one of the seminar leaders. “There are 26 million businesses in the U.S.,” Pontillo said. “99.8 percent of them are considered small business and 53 percent of those are home based.” Out of the 550,000 startups each year, however, only one of two will still be in existence in four years. Pontillo let his listeners know it takes heart, soul, fortitude and fiscal prudence to make the dream a reality. AccordingtoPontillo,thebiggestreasons for business failure are insufficient funding and the lack of management skills. “There’s no reason for that to happen when there are so many regional partners out there to help you at no cost.” AmongthemaretheNewYorkStateSmall Business Development Centers, SCORE, The Women’s Business Development Center in White Plains, the U.S. Small Business Administration and community colleges. The SBA has several avenues to obtain financing, from its 7A Finance Program, SBA Express and its new Patriot Express loans for veterans, reservists, National Guardsmen, currently enlisted personnel or widowed spouses. Working through bank executives familiar with its products, the SBA will help to guarantee a significant portion of a loan for those who keep careful watch over their business. “The best way to find out if you are financially attractive is to check your own personal credit score. If you can’t handle your personal finances, it will create too

much doubt about your ability to handle business finances,” Pontillo said. “The nonprofit agencies I mentioned are there to help you – from helping to build your personal credit score to one that is attractive to help in creating a business plan. Most importantly, they will let you know if the idea you have is a financially viable one that will be attractive to a potential lender.”

Some of the SBA’s small lenders who eventuallywentontobecomesuccessstories are AOL, Staples, Federal Express, Apple and Outback Steakhouse, Pontillo said. “We were there for them, and we are here for you now. They were former mom-and-pops or running out of their homes. Now they are giants in the industry.” While most businesses may not attain the

stature of Apple or AOL, the dream of owning a business is one that seems to resonate no matter what shape the state of America’s finances are in. GET has three offices: Poughkeepsie, Newburgh and the village of Haverstraw. Though times are tough, it hopes to eventually have an office in every mid-Hudson county.

The three-county region including Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties had a slightly lower unemployment level than the Hudson Valley as a whole. For April, unemployment in the threecounty region was 6.6 percent, up from 6.2 percent in April 2011. Private-sector employment in the three counties increased by 3,600, or 0.8 percent.

Rebranded eatery opens Owners of the Radisson Hotel New Rochelle have opened NoMa Social, the hotel’s renovated restaurant that features a Mediterranean menu created by executive chef Bill Rosenberg. Rosenberg formerly was executive chef of F.I.S.H. Restaurant and Two Moons, both in Port Chester. The Radisson restaurant formerly operated as City Chow House. Colby Brock, the Radisson’s food and beverage director who led the redesign and renovations as interior designer and project manager, said NoMa stands for North

of Manhattan, and reflects the restaurant’s rebranding as a dining and drinking destination for lower Westchester, Sound Shore and Bronx residents. Its library décor was chosen “to make NoMa Social a second home for our guests,” said Brock, the daughter of Radisson hotel owner Peter Brock. The restaurant makeover is part of $2 million in improvements over the past year designed to transform the 37-year-old hotel into a Manhattan boutique-style hotel. – John Golden

Council of Industry cites achievements of region’s manufacturers

BY KATHY KAHN kathykahn@westfairinc.com

he Council of Industry gave kudos to supporters of manufacturing in the Hudson Valley May 18 at its annual awards event at the Powelton Club in Newburgh. Harold King, COI’s executive vice president, offered several statistics on the industry sector: • Each dollar’s worth of manufactured goodscreatesanother$1.40worthofactivity in other sectors. • The United States remains the world’s largest manufacturing economy, producing 21percentofglobalmanufacturedproducts. China is second at 15 percent and Japan is third at 12 percent. • U.S. manufacturing produces $1.6 trillion of value each year, or 12 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

Economic Development Corp. as a catalyst for retaining and growing manufacturing jobs around the mid-Hudson region. “HVEDC helped bring Linuo to IBM’s Fishkill property, which is expected to create 1,400 jobs here in the mid-Hudson,” King said. “Crown Maple Syrup is creating 100 jobs in northern Dutchess and Pfizer retained 2,000 jobs in Rockland thanks to the

HVEDC’s ongoing efforts.” President and CEO Michael Oates accepted the award on behalf of the HVEDC. Orange County Executive Edward Diana received the COI’s public service award for helping to retain Kolmar Labs in Port Jervis and Satin Fine Food Products in Chester. The organization took time to fete one of its own – Fair Rite Products, which has been in operation since 1952. The com-

pany manufactures ferrite, a compound that deflects electromagnetic interference, used in the television, radio and communications industry. “If you wonder why you don’t hear any static on your radio or TV,” said King, “that black compound on the back of the speaker contains the material that deflects unwanted interference.” The Ulster-based company employs more than 100 people.

• Manufacturing supports an estimated 18.6 million jobs in the U.S. or about one in six private-sector jobs. • Nearly 12 million Americans or 9 percent of the workforce are employed directly in manufacturing. “In 2010, the average U.S. manufacturing worker earned $74,485 annually, including pay and benefits. The average nonmanufacturing worker earned $63,122,” King said. “American manufacturers are the most productive workers in the world, twice as productive as workers in any of next 10 leading manufacturing economies.” King also told the audience, “Locally, the average wage is $81,440 – that is over $4 billion in wages annually right here in our region. Three point five million manufacturing jobs are up for grabs annually. We have more than 49,000 of those jobs here in the Hudson Valley and we’d like to keep them here.” King noted a renaissance in manufacturing in the country –“a most welcome conversation” – and credited the Hudson Valley

Tennis coach Bollettieri offers insight to young players ick Bollettieri, the famed coach who guided tennis players including Andre Agassi, Jim Courier and the Williams sisters to top rankings, was back in his native Westchester to promote the game that has been his life’s work. The outspoken 80-year-old – equally forthcoming about growing up in “North Pelham” and being married eight times as about his upcoming book and oh, yes, the state of tennis – was here for TennisFest 2012 at the Saw Mill Club in Mount Kisco. The all-day, carnival-like event May 20 was a collaboration between the club, the United States Tennis Association and the United States Professional Tennis Association, which was also holding its

Eastern Division annual conference there. “It’s sort of a weekend of tennis fun and tennis business,” says Kevin Kane, vice president and general manager of the sprawling club, where tennis – a total of 13 courts – is a key component of the multisport offerings. The festival was designed to not only reconnect adults with the game but more important, to encourage young players by introducing and exploring the USTA’s 10 and Under Tennis program that promotes learning through child-friendly equipment and rules. The event attracted some 1,000 participants. Bollettieri, president and founder of IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., has helped 10 players reach the No. 1 worldwide ranking and spends his days not only

coaching but making appearances, giving motivational speeches, offering commentary for outlets ranging from ESPN to BBC Worldwide and serving multiple roles at the U.S. Open. For young players who might dream of a professional career, Bollettieri offers sobering insight. “As a player today, it is much more difficult to become a successful professional on the road,” he said. “Today, tennis is far different than it was in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s.” In past decades, he said, players who were ranked in the top 100, even 150, in the world could secure sponsorships to fund expenses such as equipment and travel. Now, he said, support rarely reaches those outside the game’s top 50, which

leaves solid (but not star) players with great financial obstacles. “Expenses are unbelievable,”Bollettieri said. Even the game itself is different, he added. “The game has also dramatically changed. Pro players today are “bigger, stronger, faster.” But the sport’s popularity is on the OLGA LOGANOVA

upswing; in the last few years, he said, it “has picked up tremendously.” Bollettieri, who spoke with up-andcoming players and parents as well as teachers and coaches during the weekend, said today’s young players with Grand Slam dreams should certainly work on their game but also “concentrate on their education and try to secure a scholarship to college.” He said he focuses his presentations on “what it takes to be a winner, not a champion”– a winner embodies sportsmanship, he said. Catching up with him just before he boarded a flight back to Florida, where he lives with his wife and two youngest children, Bollettieri spoke of how his signature facility has evolved. The Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, a 40-acre tennis training ground in 1978, now boasts 500 acres, features eight sports, employs more than 700 and serves 15,000 people each year. Even with his whirlwind schedule, Bollettieri said he was happy to once again participate in TennisFest, first offered last year. “The Saw Mill racquet club does an excellent job of giving the facilities for this weekend,” he said. And Kane assures everyone it’s an effort that will long continue. “We started planning the third one the day the people left.”

business ideas

BY JOE MURTAGH

hat do Southwest Airlines, Capital One, Wal-Mart, Toyota and Smartphones all have in common? In addition to the obvious successes they have all attained, each has successfully addressed the complexity question in a way that meets their customers’ ever-changing desires. There are only a few strategies for doing this. Supply a low level of complexity to your markets by offering products or services with few options, target customers who are willing to pay a premium for higher complexity, or simplify what would otherwise be tremendously complex using digital technology. In 1908, when cars were the “toys of the rich,” Henry Ford built the Model T, the ultimate in product simplicity because he saw a need for “transportation for the masses.” Ford controlled 65 percent of the low-cost market by 1921. That same year, Alfred Sloane, General Motors’ new president, saw that buyers wanted more than simplicity and basic transportation. They wanted a choice of colors, power, looks, and they were willing to pay a little more for it. Reduced complexity: Sloane first reduced some of GM’s complexity by eliminating 15 of its 20 brands and, with the remaining five, offered different options at different prices. Sloane’s strategy worked. As Ford’s volume began slipping, it cut prices, but by 1928, the Model T no longer dominated the market. Like Sloan, organizations offering more products and services than their customers actually want must eliminate them and only implement complexity that is in demand. Getting rid of complexity can lead to a competitive advantage. Here’s an example: • Southwest Airlines flies only 737s. • American Airlines uses as many as 14 types of aircraft. • American needs 14 kinds of mechanics and pilots. • American filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011 Conversely, organizations must be ready to realize and exploit the complexity customers will pay for. Conquering complexity doesn’t always mean eliminating it. Capital One noticed that most credit cards had an interest rate of 19.8 percent regardless of the customer’s creditworthiness.

THE DREAMSPEAKER™

Complexity, simpliﬁed Customers with good credit were paying a higher rate to support deadbeats. By building a database of credit information, Capital One offered a significantly lower rate for lower-risk candidates. Its investment in technology resulted in a low-cost means of offering high levels of complexity, and great success in a mature market. Digital complexity: In the March 2010 issue of The McKinsey Quarterly, an article titled “The Internet of Things,” by Chetan Sharma stated that there may be 50 billion Internet devices by 2020. “Consider how, even though cars have gotten more sophisticated and certainly more complicated to repair, no more knowledge or experience is

Is your customer willing to pay more for added choices as Sloan rec-

Most owners prefer raising kids over running a business

BY JANICE KIRKEL jkirkel@westfairinc.com

hen it comes to kids, you have some control – underline “some” – and you know they will grow up. Not so with a small business, which is subject to a multitude of external factors, everything from the state of the economy and the state of the credit markets to business sentiment. Those were the responses of most small business owners in Westchester and Fairfield counties to a Bank of America survey that found owners feel running a business is three times as stressful as raising children. Three hundred small business owners were surveyed in the New York metro area, which included Fairfield and Westchester. The findings were part of the bank’s small business owner report in which 1,000 businesses were surveyed nationwide. All had annual revenue between $100,000 and $4,999,999 and employed between two and 99 people. Bill Klein, managing director of Hanseatic Capital Partners L.L.C., investment advisers in Westport, and the father

of 18- and 14-year-old boys, said it’s hard to compare the two types of stresses. “You have more control with kids, but a lot of external factors come into play in running a business. But it’s like eating an apple or playing baseball, they’re so different. You can tell your kids what to do and keep tabs on what they’re doing. You can’t do that with a business.” Klein said unpredictability is built into running a business. “You don’t know the external factors that will hit. And it’s hard to determine what is in the minds of potential customers.” Klein has had his business for more than five years, with four other partners who were all on Wall Street at one time. Devon Fleming, an author and lifestyle expert in New Canaan, who works from home with three teenagers – 18, 15, and 13 – said she agrees with the study’s findings. “With children you know they will grow up … there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. With a business, it’s incredibly stressful. With the children I know I’m making progress. With the business I know I will make progress but it’s not a given.

years, going back to their days at Grey. She said the two have been surprised by the success of their business during tough financial times. “We didn’t know what to expect when we started – we started in the middle of the meltdown.”She said she wishes the two had started their business earlier, “but it might have been different then, if we had started 15 years ago. We might have said ‘The more clients the better.’ Now we’re choosy about our clients, we want to do work that makes a difference.” Their clients include a hospital in Delaware, the New Rochelle Humane Society, and breastcancer.org, based near Philadelphia. Among the survey’s other findings: Maintaining a small business causes owners twice as much stress as maintaining a healthy relationship with a spouse or partner, and more than four times as much as managing their own personal finances. In addition, small business owners regularly forgo free time (57 percent), exercise (37 percent) and other important personal priorities in order to manage their businesses.

The growing pains of a small business are very overwhelming, especially when you throw in a recession.” She said growing her business and raising money are the two biggest challenges she faces. “It’s harder to raise money now than before the recession. Local banks want you to deposit an amount equal to what you’re trying to borrow. A banker told me it would be easier for my 18-year-old to get a loan than it would be for me. And I’ve been in business eight years.”She said the banker was trying to make the point that it is often easier for individuals to borrow than it is for small businesses. But Jody Rawdin, co-founder of jodyandiane Creative Communications, an advertising agency in New Rochelle, said raising her kids, now 26 and 22, was more stressful. “That was a frenetic time,” she said, “I was still working full time (at Grey Advertising), juggling two things at once. When my kids left home (3 years ago) I started the business.” Rawdin and her partner, Diane Wade, have worked together for more than 25

Battling to bring business to Orange County

aureen Halahan has a smile that toothpaste models could envy – and the president and chief executive officer of the Orange County Partnership has a lot to smile about. She and her team have been instrumental in bringing major industries to Orange County, creating new jobs, while also retaining the industries established in the county. The Halahan team is fulfilling a dream born 25 years ago from Lou Heimbach, then county executive, for a cohesive organization focused specifically on the marketing of Orange County. Halahan also praises the present county executive, Ed Diana, for embracing the Heimbach vision. “He walks sites with us, and if we tell him we have a live one, he’ll drop everything and come,” she said. Halahan reports the county is preparing to welcome Hunter Panels to its new manufacturing facility at the Hudson Valley Crossing site in Hamptonburgh in the first quarter of next year. “The total capital

investment, including land acquisition, is approximately $27 million,” she added, noting that Hunter Panels and Hudson Valley Crossing have received incentives from the Orange County Industrial Development Agency. Initially 70 to 90 workers will staff the 360,000-square-foot facility. At its new plant the company will manufacture rigid foam insulation roofing materials for commercial and industrial markets. Proximity to I-84 and I-87, Stewart International Airport and Norfolk Southern Railroad make Orange County an attractive magnet for business, Halahan pointed out. After a two-year search President Container brought 192 new jobs to the Town of Walkill, where it invested $48 million in infrastructure renovations at its 522,000-square foot facility. Continental Organics, which opted for construction of a 900,000-square-foot facility in New Windsor, will create 120 new jobs with the help of a $6.2 million package

from the Empire State Development Corp. Medora Snacks will bring 80 employees to its new facility in Walkill. SunWize Technology, expanding to Walkill, is creating 40 to 50 new jobs in the area. But her smile vanishes as she laments the loss of a proposed Macy’s one millionsquare-foot e-commerce distribution center in Hamptonburgh. “They loved the site, available shipping and work force,” she said. But they opted for West Virginia because of New York State’s high taxes, she sighed. This spring found the Orange County Partnership CEO with yet another reason not to smile.

Prestige posts $15,000 loss

restige Brands Holdings Inc., which owns some of the most well known brand name products such as Chloroseptic, Luden’s, Dramamine, and Spic and Span, reported a loss for the fourth quarter, mainly due to the expense of debt taken on to finance acquisitions. Operating income was $22.5 million, but debt-related expenses totaled $21.7 million. After taxes, the loss was $15,000. That translates to break-even on a per share basis, compared with earnings of $6.4 million, or 13 cents a share, a year earlier. For the year, Prestige had a profit as earnings rose to $37 million, or 73 cents a share, from $29 million, or 58 cents, in 2011. Revenues were up 30 percent. Revenues for the fourth quarter were up almost 40 percent from a year ago, to $134 million from $96 million. Revenue from the company’s core over-the-counter brands was up 14 percent.Those brands are Chloroseptic, Clear Eyes, Compound W, Little Remedies, The Doctor’s, NightGuard, Efferdent, PediaCare, Dramamine and

Luden’s. Revenue for the OTC segment overall was up more than 50 percent. Revenues from two months of ownership of 17 brands bought from GlaxoSmithKline made up 80 percent of the rise in revenue in the quarter. Revenue in the household cleaning unit of the business were down in the quarter from a year ago, but Prestige said the rate of decline has improved from a year ago because of stronger sales of Spic and Span and the Comet line of stainless steel cleaners. Advertising and promotion in the quarter was up 30 percent from a year earlier. Costs associated with the Glaxo acquisition and costs to evaluate an unsolicited takeover proposal from Genomma Lab Internacional of Mexico City cut into operating income. Prestige also said it would seek more acquisitions. And it reiterated that it expects to report per share earnings for 2013 of $1.22 to $1.32. – Janice Kirkel

Young confectioner’s treats earn shelf space in region’s stores

BY KATHY KAHN kathykahn@westfaironline.com

f chocolate is the food of love, hearts will rejoice at the distinctive taste of the confectionary world’s newest entry: the Bixby bar. Its creator is not a world-renowned confectionary cook; rather, she is a 24-year old entrepreneur named Kate McAleer who wanted to make a difference and found a way to do it in the kitchen. Bored by the snacks in college dorms and hospital waiting room snack machines, McAleer longed for something fresh and free of additives. Studying in France and China she was exposed to exotic cuisines that used unique spices. After graduating from New York University and Parsons/Cooper Hewitt, she earned diplomas in pastry arts and culinary management from the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan and certificates from Ecole Chocolat in Vancouver, Canada. Shecombinedhertravelexperiencesand cooking skills and produced a unique product that’s caught on faster than she dreamed it ever would. Taste buds tingle after that last bite of “To The Nines,” thanks to the sprinkle of cardamom added to the mix. Another item,combiningdriedBingcherries,peanuts and organic milk chocolate, has added zing, thanks to a pinch of chipotle pepper. McAleer’s other chocolate bars are equally as delicious – and each with its own unique blend that will have you reading the wrapper to find out just what gave it that kick that made it especially tasty. The name of McAleer’s year-old company, Bixby & Co. (bixbyco.com), comes from her great-great-grandparents Lillian and William K. Bixby. “When he was my age, people ate fresh food made by hand, not by machines – beforechemicaladditivesbecametherageto extend shelf life of food that came off a production line instead of made in the kitchen. That’s why I named my candy bar after him – to remind us of what we’ve lost and what we can get back if we put the effort into it.”

McAleer said the Hudson Valley community where she grew up and has returned to begin her business has been more than welcoming. Adams Fairacre Farms, Pennings Orchard and Farm Market, Nature’s Pantry, Pleasant Stone Farm, Blooming Grove Pharmacy and other food and specialty stores have made room for her product on their shelves. “Noble Coffee Roasters in Campbell Hall has been fantastic. Paul Deckaj arranged for a pairing of coffees with my chocolates,” she said. “He was one of my earliest supporters when I began in earnest in 2011. Then I was accepted into the New York City Vegetarian Food Festival, the Coffee and Tea Festival and The New England Food Show. The response has just been so incredibly positive.” Her product has made it into a small circle of young entrepreneurs involved in Youth Trade, which provides market exposure for products made by under-35 entrepreneurs. It is an offshoot of YES (Youth Entrepreneurship and Sustainability) and partners with the Conscious Capitalism Institute, which promotes the under-35 entrepreneur. Chocolates, teas, clothing and bath and body goods are some of the products its members bring to the unique table. Bixby Bars rolled out to all 28 of Whole Foods’ north Atlantic regional stores on May 21 as part of CEO John Mackey’s commitment to Youth Trade, much to the amazement and absolute delight of the young confectionary cook. “I was extremely fortunate to be chosen. You apply.You are among hundreds of young hopefuls and then you keep your fingers crossed. The fact that Mackey recognizes young entrepreneurs as the business leaders of tomorrow – and that we want more for our families than mass-produced foods and goods – is the best support any young business person can have in their cheerleading section. We want to be healthy and leave the planet in better shape than we’ve found it. That’s as it should be,” McAleer said. McAleer’s 800-square-foot store in Warwick is where she prepares the candy bars, packages products for shipment and does her marketing.

“I have two part-time helpers. Approximately 20 percent of my business is e-commerce. One thing about being your own boss – the day is never over and the week never ends. As long as you are willing

to commit to that, and to commit to making the best product you can, you’ve got a good shot at making it. That’s all I hoped for. I’ve been really blessed.”

Kate McAleer, owner of Bixby & Co.

ne business is high technology, the other an ancient art. One is a couple’s own creation, the other a family business that dates almost to the turn of the 20th century. But the couples who run these businesses – both in their 50s, both married about 30 years – say running a business with your spouse is always interesting. Dave and Ellen Rosenbaum own RealTime Computer Services, an IT consulting firm in Ardsley. He started the business 30 years ago, she came into it 19 years ago after working at Ciba-Geigy for 14 years. Their office is their home in Ardsley, so there is no such thing as leaving the job behind. They do have a second office in Manhattan. Client crises must be handled around the clock, so they or a member of their team are always on call. “We do computer consulting for small to mid-size businesses,” Dave said. “By design it is a 24/7 business. Clients are working from home from Blackberrys and iPhones. And expect us to be available. Two have offices in China, one in Nigeria, one in New Zealand.” Ellen said she joined the business on a dare. “In 1993, layoffs were starting at CibaGeigy. I got a six-month severance package. I told Dave I would give it six months, and if things didn’t improve we would both have to get real jobs.” Dave struggled to build the business through the 1980s, just as computerization was taking hold in the business world. She admits that she was not very understanding about it, while acknowledging that Dave was“putting his heart and soul into it. But he had to establish himself, it was very slow.” Over the years, said Ellen, “many times I wanted to get out. But it was like trying to get out of the Mafia. It has evolved though, and turned into something really terrific, but extremely demanding. We’re both in our 50s, it’s hard to do all-nighters.” Dave pointed out that they have different styles, whether working or cooking. “That’s one of our hobbies. Chinese food is our specialty. We would spend the weekend in the kitchen together cooking. Till the guests arrived and we turned on the wok. And then you have to cook quickly, but our styles are different. One of us would throw a cleaver,” he said, laughing. Ellen labels them this way. “Dave is more interested in steering the course of the business. I come from a tech background. He is a third-generation entrepreneur, going back to the years after World War I when his grandmother and aunts would sew flags in their basement and his grandfather would sell them door to door or standing on a street corner.”

She, on the other hand, came from a large corporation, and said she was not used to doing things herself. “I was plunged into a world where I had to go to UPS myself,” she joked. Their Ardsley office is the entire basement of their house and their offices are at opposite ends. But they don’t spend a lot of time together in the office – she is usually in Westchester, he in Manhattan. Their 30-year-old daughter, a trained social worker, has begun to play a part, consulting with clients and taking on support functions. Ellen sums it up as, “Dave is grays, I’m black and white.” And as for their 2½-year-old grandson? “He’s good on the iPad.” In Larchmont, meanwhile, Steven and Gina Wallach carry on a business that has been in Steven’s family since 1916, Wallach Jewelry

Dave and Ellen Rosenbaum of Real-Time Computer Services of Ardsley.

Designs. Steve’s grandfather started it, with a store on the Bowery. Steve joined his father in the store in 1982, which by that time was in Eastchester. His father retired in 1996 and the Larchmont store opened in 1997. “We were married 14 years when we started working together, now we’ve been working together 15, so we’ve spent more of our marriage working together than not,” Gina said. There is a division of labor there as well, in keeping with their backgrounds. “Steve is a graduate gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America, so he has very technical and specific knowledge regarding diamonds and colored stones, that’s his forte,” Gina said. “My background is designing, more of the dayto-day computer-related things, paperwork, clerical work. But we both work with customers. I do the social networking, he does the financial stuff. We both set everything up and take it down. While we’re doing that, that’s our informal meeting time.” Gina jokes that “only at home do we have disagreements. Here everything is discussed. We don’t argue about business and we try not to discuss it at home, but we’re not always successful at that.”

FAMILY BUSINESSES

Critical planning for the closely held business BY JESSICA GALLIGAN GOLDSMITH

wners of closely held family businesses face certain unique challenges. Chief among them is who will run the business in the next generation. Sometimes the answer is obvious, but often the answer is unclear. While business succession planning can be a difficult task, it is critical for every family business. Both tax and family considerations come in to play when transferring a family business to the next generation, and careful attention must be paid to all aspects of an owner’s estate plan.

Family businesses are complex entities, and different individuals and generations can have competing interests. Often, some of the owner’s children work in the business, but others do not. In these situations, relationships between parents and children in and out of thebusiness,andrelationshipsamongsiblings, must be considered. Sometimes, none of the children has any interest in the family business. This situation presents its own planning concerns. In order for a family business to thrive into the next generation, there must be a plan in place for continuing centralized management. It is rarely possible for multiple siblings and cousins to run a business as effectively as one or two original owners. Therefore, one of the most important things a family business should have is a written plan for management

succession. Depending on the type of business entity, this plan is usually embodied in an L.L.C. operating agreement or a shareholders’ agreement. A well-drafted operating agreement or shareholders’ agreement should also restrict transfers to non-family members. Transfer provisions should allow current owners to make gifts of business interests to family members and family trusts, but should not allow any subsequent disposition of business interests to non-family members without permission from current management. Gifts by owners of family business interests to family memberscanbehighlyleveragedandthereforevery effectivefromanestateandgifttaxstandpoint. Appropriate transfer restrictions help keep the business within the family, and also often provide discounts against estate taxes for the

owner’s estate and the child’s estate. When an owner’s child marries, a prenuptial agreement is highly recommended. It can ensure that the business remains in the family and is not transferred to a child’s former spouse on divorce. Under New York law, when a child dies without a prenuptial agreement, the child’s spouse is generally entitled to onethird of the child’s estate (or one-half, if the child has no children), regardless of the terms of the child’s will. A prenuptial agreement can allow the child to provide business income for a surviving spouse while ensuring that the business itself stays within the owner’s family. Family business owners are often unwilling to engage in any estate planning because they are not ready to cede control of the business. However, different estate planning vehicles allow owners to move assets down one or more generations while continuing to maintain control of the business for a period of time. For example, sometimes life insurance held in an insurance trust or owned by the children can offer much-needed liquidity. In 2012andbeyond,giftsand/orsalesofbusiness interests can be made to children and grandchildren, or to trusts for their benefit, with a minimum of gift tax and generation-skipping tax impact. Limited liability companies, often combined with family trusts, can help owners stay in control of a business until they are ready to retire, while moving future appreciation now to future generations. In addition, a special provision of the Internal Revenue Code allows certain family business owners to defer the payment of estate taxes over a 10- to15-year period. The combined federal and New York state estate tax rate in the top bracket in 2012 is 42%. In 2013, the combined rate is scheduled to rise to approximately 62%. Section 6166 of the federal tax code and its New York equivalent help certain family business owners avoid being subjectedtomassiveestatetaxesthatcanforce the sale of the family business, or require the business to incur significant debt, following the owner’s death. Because only certain kinds of business interests qualify for section 6166 deferral, it is extremely important to structure one’s family business and estate plan in order to permit the application of section 6166 in the owner’s estate. For these reasons, family business owners should meet with their advisors sooner rather than later to be sure that their estate and businesssuccessionplansarebothappropriateand effective from a tax and family standpoint.

Restoration business runs in the family

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

hen Frank Antonucci started working as a consultant in the property restoration business nearly 40 years ago, the competition among Westchester companies, he said, was virtually nonexistent. Today? “There are so many restoration companies you can’t even count them,” said his son, Nicholas. At Soundshore Restoration L.L.C. in Bedford Hills, the father-son partnership is helping to rebrand and grow the family’s business as moreandmoreWestchestercompaniesenterthe marketplace and are vying for contracts from insurancecompaniesandlocalhomeownersand businesses. “When I started in ’73, there were basically two restoration companies in Westchester,”said Frank Antonucci, who hails from Somers. “Now, I bet there’s at least 50. There are just a ton of them working now.” After working as a consultant to the insurance industry for years, Frank Antonucci founded Antonucci Consulting Corp. and Antonucci Construction Corp. in Ossining in 1996. With the help of his sons Nicholas and Frank Patrick, the elder Antonucci opened a SteamaticInc.cleaningandrestorationfranchise in Ossining in 2002, and after two years opted out in favor of opening an independent flood and fire restoration firm. “I started in the industry 38, 39 years ago,” said Frank, president and founder of Soundshore Restoration, Antonucci Consulting and Antonucci Construction. “It just got to the point where we decided, let’s branch out.” As if that wasn’t enough of a challenge, the Antonucci’s are faced with having to market themselves under a new banner after changing their name from Interstate Restoration L.L.C. this past year in the wake of a trademark dispute with a Fort Worth, Texas-based company. In the social media age, that is easier said than done, Frank said. “I can fix any building that’s been damaged by any occurrence,” he said. “But when it comes to the technological part and working with the computer, there are major, major headaches here.” That is where his sons came into the picture. “From my point of view, it’s comforting to know that I have my sons who are going to look out for my best interests and the company’s best interests. It makes it a lot easier for me,” Frank said.“I havea tremendous amountof confidence that my kids will be able to run the business far better than I have.” Nicholas and Frank Patrick are general managers of Soundshore Restoration and Antonucci Consulting, respectively. Since consolidating all three of the family’s

companies at the same Bedford Hills location in 2006, business has taken off, Nicholas said. “We’ve seen an increase – a dramatic increase,” he said, adding that the central Westchester location was the right fit for the company. “It’s where we do most of our work, where we are the most, and it fits perfectly.” With 12 full-time employees, Soundshore Restoration does most of its business in the residential arena, with about 30 percent of all contracts being for commercial property resto-

rations. While the Antonucci’s market themselves almost solely to insurance companies, the restoration business has received increasing interest from individuals and business owners looking stay ahead of flood and fire-related issues. “What I’ve found is people are being more proactive.With water damage in particular, people act much quicker now,” Nicholas said. “It’s changed a lot simply because with mold issues coming into the forefront, insurance companies

want to be more active to prevent further damage and further complications down the road.” However, both Frank and Nicholas said there is still the potential for unforeseen damage despite the best preparations. “We do a lot of work with the same groups of houses on the major flood plains,” Nick said. “‘It happened again,’ they tell me.” The company primarily works in the tristate area, but had employees inVermont in the wake of Hurricane Irene last year.

Following in the family business not always a certainty

BY KATHY KAHN kathykahn@westfairinc.com

ecades ago, an entrepreneur didn’t have to look far to find a partner. Brothers and sisters – who had their own children in tow – were ready to jump in. What happens when that second generation starts looking among its own offspring to see where the future of the company will head? That was the topic of discussion at KeyBank’s recent roundtable in West Nyack. Sixty years ago, Peter Gisondi and his siblings started a painting business, which meant their own children were guaranteed regular summer employment. Six decades later, oldest son John is president and CEO of Peter Gisondi & Co. The White Plains union shop employs 100 people. Among them are the grandchildren of the founder. “Some industries will always require

sider’ in charge is a very big step. I feel very fortunate they put their trust in me to grow the company.” Jason Lieberman joined DEC Office Solutions that his co-father founded, one of Rockland’s largest copy machine and document management systems. Jason has two sons but is not sure whether either will be interested in continuing DEC once they’ve gone out into the world

of business. “Two thousand and eight definitely affected everyone; family-owned businesses were no exception. Many who thought they would have a lifetime job or a legacy to pass on to their children were jolted. Some just closed up and disappeared overnight. That has made many coming up the ranks think twice about choosing the family business as the natural career step for them.”

In Vaughan Miles’ case, he migrated to the U.S. to join his own son’s company, Infora L.L.C. Many of its innovative products have been touted by Dr. Mehmet Oz, The Wall Street Journal and the “Today” show. “My son has two children, but I don’t know if either is going to follow in dad’s footsteps,” Miles said. “We are unique in what we produce, but many want to follow Following in the family business, page 29

a human being to perform the work – painting is one of them – and that, too, has become very high-tech. Because my brothers and I own the business doesn’t necessarily mean our children are going to continue in it. ... times are changing ... and there are options out there that were not there for my father and his siblings when he began the business.” In James Hayden’s case, he is an honorary member of the Schoenberg family, whose salt distribution business was born in 1898. Hayden joined Schoenberg Salt Co. in 1978 as a dispatcher and appointed company president two decades later by the founder’s son, Ira. “I never thought I’d have a chance to show this to anyone,” laughed Hayden, displaying a plaque formally declaring him an adopted son of the Schoenbergs. “For a family-owned business, putting an ‘out-

winning chef who this month opened MP Taverna in Irvington. “I was always a very cerebral chef. But then I started to see food as a vehicle to plant the seeds of memory and bring people together.” That was in 2008. It was at that point that the 43-year-old Psilakis, a Long Island native, began writing short stories in honor of his father, stories that were gradually incorporated into a cookbook published in 2009, “How to Roast a Lamb.” “Food is the simplest form of giving,” he said. “I moved away from the cerebral and artistic to the recognizable, the approachable – comfort food, simple in its origin, but cooked on a professional level, with the best ingredients.” For Psilakis, this represented a return to his roots. “If you’ve ever seen ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding.’ That’s my life,” he said. “My family never went anywhere, on vacations or anything, we just made food and had people over.” Psilakis’ culinary training started young. He was 7 when his father, who came to the U.S. from Crete in the 1950s, taught him how to roast a whole lamb on a spit. That, of course, had to start with killing the lamb. “We had a goat and a lamb in the backyard,” he recalled. “ My father told me to chase the lamb and catch him, and then he slit his throat. That was painful for me, I was crying, the lamb was my friend. But when we ate, my dad reminded us that something had to die for us to eat this, not to forget that. I don’t know if I’ll teach my sons that.”

Fast forwarding to age 23, Psilakis was getting ready to go to law school, but thoughts of going into the restaurant business would not go away. At 23, as the manager at a restaurant called Ecco on Long Island, he stepped into the kitchen for the first time when the chef didn’t show up for work. Just a year later, with Psilakis cooking, that restaurant got two stars in The New York Times. After that, he opened a couple of restaurants in Manhattan, one of which survives today as Kefi, on the Upper West Side, which serves traditional Greek fare, and FISHTAG, in the same area, which he describes as wine bar meets seafood restaurant. Then in May of last year, he opened MP Taverna in Roslyn, with another outlet of that restaurant under construction in Astoria, set to open in late summer. Psilakis’ goal is to have people think of Greek food the same way they think of Chinese or Italian when they’re thinking of what to order in. “I’m trying to demystify Greek food, bring it into the mainstream,” he said. “I want this restaurant not to be just for special occasions, but to replace the dinner table of yesteryear.” Prices, he said, will be reasonable, perhaps $30 a person for dinner, with entrees in the teens, and non-Greek specialties like macaroni and cheese and chicken fingers for the kids. “I’d like it if when people get the check, they say, ‘Wow, we got all this … for that?”

their own dreams, not pick up where mom or dad left off.” Mike Wolfert took his love of climbing so literally he brought it indoors for all to enjoy, opening The Cliffs at Valhalla in 2005. The 13,000-square-foot climbing park has been a success, despite the recession. Wolfert, with two small children, is not thinking about a succession plan –he’s just focusing on the continued success of his company. “I’m not up to thinking about leaving my business to my children,” said the young entrepreneur,“but I do see many in my age group looking at other professions outside of their parents’ business. And I also see many parents discouraging their children from picking up the business when they are ready to retire. There’s a whole new dynamic in business today for younger people.” Another roundtable participant, Ellen Diane Rivera, is not a business owner but has been executive director of West Street Child-Care Learning Center in Spring Valley for several years—and is looking for a successor. She was grooming her daughter to take over the early learning center, “but she decided she wanted to do something else,” said Rivera. “It’s very tough to

get people interested in taking over a nonprofit in an underserved area. They have to want the job because they love the mission, not for the paycheck.” Though each had different business models, they all had two things in common: a need to keep their business in the black and the need to have a line of credit readily available to make sure there’s no shortage of cash available for payroll, shipping goods and buying inventory. “Banks have been tightening their lending requirements; the need to have a good business relationship with your banker is essential,”said the roundtable participants. “In order to keep that relationship positive, your financial strategy and business plans must be solid and well thought out,” Gisondi said. “It’s very daunting to today’s generation, particularly since they’ve seen what’s happened in the recession. We all hope to see our companies continue.”

CITYSHOWCASE

ver 150 brokers, developers, site selectors, and investors attended City Showcase: White Plains on April 25, the first extensive marketing event of 2012, organized by the Blueprint for Westchester, a major initiative of the Westchester County Association to revitalize Westchester’s economy. “This Showcase turned out to be a fantastic marketing event for the City of White Plains,” said Marissa Brett, WCA’s executive director of Economic Development, who pointed out that it is the first in a series of city showcases, the next one slated for New Rochelle on Wednesday, September 20. She said the Showcase has already spawned many positive comments and a spate of calls to the Mayor’s office. Guests gathered at 360 Hamilton Avenue—a state-of-the-art building that had been renovated. In his remarks, White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach said: “This is the first time we’ve done something like this to promote the city. We are ready to do business. White Plains is the hub of Westchester County, an office and retail hub, and we’ve got nightlife! Young people are returning from Manhattan; we’re hitting the trend at the right moment.” He was also echoing a theme of the Blueprint: Westchester is convenient, has good infrastructure and a nicer and more affordable lifestyle, and is welcoming to business. All kinds of business. Metro-North spokesman Randall Fleischer noted that Metro-North is the largest commuter railroad in the nation, and White Plains is its second largest station. “We’re seeing a shift in ridership,” he said. “There are 11,000 people now commuting into White Plains everyday from points south.” Orthonet spokesman Rick Livingston spoke eloquently about his company’s decision to remain in Westchester. “We received many attractive offers from surrounding states when we considered moving, but we chose to stay here. When we

sat down as a team and said, where do we want to be, what city serves us best? The answer was White Plains, and it’s been White Plains every time we’ve done this kind of analysis… We’re filling 71,000 sq. ft. of space with 300+ employees. We’ve had no problem attracting a well-educated workforce and finding access to great schools. And it’s been wonderful working with local government.” After breakfast and presentations, the 150 guests all boarded buses for a tour of specific properties and public/private development opportunities in downtown White Plains and along the I-287 corridor. Along the way, they got a good dose of history and commentary, provided by Commissioner Susan Habel and Deputy Commissioner Linda Puoplo from the City of White Plains Department of Planning with an able assist from Karen Pasquale and Eileen McClain. This was followed by a delicious luncheon, hosted by ArtsWestchester on Mamaroneck Avenue—in their repurposed building.“There’s a message in that,” said Brett, who noted that repurposing buildings, making them 21st-century compliant and suitable for today’s needs, was a cornerstone of the Blueprint. Summing up, Blueprint Chairman Bill Cuddy remarked that the Blueprint “is a vision, a dream, something aspirational and inspiring. It’s really about what the Westchester community wants to build for itself. Today’s Blueprint message is that White Plains is a pro-business city and the Roach administration is committed to make things happen.

Health care’s changing face

he Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, whichhasbeendubbedObamaCare,willsoon be the law of the land, unless the U.S. Supreme Court derails it. While pundits try to predict possible outcomes, hospitals and other health care providers are keeping their eyes on the bottom line and becoming more select in the services they offer. As baby boomers age and are in need of orthopedic surgeries such as knee and hipreplacements, hospitals are addressing these needs

by adding specialized surgeries and rehabilitation programs as well as senior consultation services. But, also part of the equation is ensuring quality of care, patient satisfaction and efficiency. And as more hospitals and providers turn paper records into electronic ones, ensuring privacy is also paramount. Under a provision of the Affordable Care Act, doctors, hospitals and others who serve Medicare patients now have the option of formingaccountable care organizations (ACOs), which offer a framework for ultimately replacing the fee-for-service system with a pay-for-performance arrangement. By the way, the formation of ACOs was a topic covered on just seven of the 900-plus pages of the Affordable Care Act. What else is in store is hard to say. With that in mind, we offer this resource guide that contains a sampling of hospitals and other health care providers and a number of services they provide.

TWO LEFT FEET Mary loved to dance, but her hips could no longer carry a tune. So she paid a visit to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center and had her hips replaced by the Northeast’s most experienced surgeon in the revolutionary Anterior Approach — recognized by experts as the most advanced procedure for hip replacement. Thanks to this minimally invasive procedure — and Phelps’ legendary post-op care — just two weeks after her double hip replacement she was back on her two left feet. A warning to dance floors everywhere. Find out why people are traveling to Phelps for orthopedic surgery. www.phelpshospital.org/ortho or call 1 888 888-2311

Then I made it my business to get all the help we needed. When my mother was afflicted with Alzheimer’s, days and nights became a constant, emotional ordeal for my family. We changed our lives to make my mother’s life as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. Because of this experience, I expanded my long-established estate planning law practice to include personalized Elder Law and Medicaid planning. One that offers solutions and peace of mind, with caring and understanding.

I offer the kind of service that I could not find. I provide advice and counsel in all elder law-related matters including asset preservation and Medicaid qualification. Also provided is estate planning, Medicaid trusts, health care proxies, living wills, powers of attorney and guardianships.

All my clients have my cell phone number. Information or reassurance is often necessary on an immediate basis. Calls are returned promptly, services delivered when promised. Our flexible office hours accommodate the needs of working family members. In-home, hospital and nursing home appointments are available.

More than 20 years experience. As an A-V rated attorney, and with my personal understanding of the traumas that age can bring to the senior and loved ones, I can be the person who can lift some of the burdens on you and your family during these stressful times.

of the Westchester County Association.” When asked about his goals as chairman, Harrington joked that the question was akin to asking someone stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean what their goals were. “The goal is to survive,” he said. As a youth growing up in Yonkers, Harrington watched as manufacturers like Otis Elevators, Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Mills and Precision Valve employed thousands of local residents and were among the world’s biggest manufacturers in each of their respective industries. Later, Westchester was home to General Foods and Texaco and other multinational corporations. But today, the playing field has changed, he said. “They’re all gone. They employed thousands of people and they’re all gone,” and today, Harrington says, Westchester finds itself “at a crossroads” as a result. “We have a transformed business community, a transformed demographic, and a housing market that’s made it difficult – if not impossible – for young people to live in the county,” not to mention a huge tax burden, he added. So why take the position? Why accept the seemingly enormous task at hand? “It’s because Westchester is one of the greatest places to raise a family in the world,” Harrington said. “My goal is to energize this organization, to energize the county. We can make such a mean-

ingful difference in the lives of people.” That will require, in Harrington’s words, a new set of pronouns and a new attitude, so that the current generation leaves Westchester as a place where anyone – regardless of age or income – can grow up and raise a family. “We have to stop talking about these issues as ‘Me, Mine, I,’” he said. “We created them (the problems). We all have skin in the game. Our collective goal should be to fix our problems, understanding that we will all have to bear in the pain.” That means addressing mandates and spiraling pension costs, reforming the way government operates, and being an advocate for economic development. Harrington applauded the past leadership of DelBello and progress the WCA has already made in many of the latter areas, but said what’s needed now is a new push to broaden the scope of the organization. “My goal is to be an advocate to push, prod, force, and cajole the county to fulfill its greatest destiny – to be one of the best places in the world to build a business and to raise a family.” Doing that will mean engaging the younger population and minority populations more so than in the past, he said. “We need someone with fresh eyes to come in and be a force for change,” he said in reference to the county’s future business leaders. “We are all in this together.”

illiam P. Harrington is a classic Westchester story. Raised in Yonkers, Harrington went to school at Iona Prep, played Division I basketball at the College of William & Mary, and now, following in his father’s footsteps, is managing partner at Bleakley, Platt, and Schmidt L.L.P., one of the most prestigious law firms in White Plains. Outside of his work at the firm, Harrington, 54, is a CYO basketball coach and father of four; a proud Irishman and devout Catholic; a realist and an optimist. He sees the challenges: not only the new ones posed by the economic crisis, but the old ones brought about by the departure of most of Westchester’s Fortune 500 contingent, by an aging population, by long-term systematic government dysfunction, and by a fragile medical infrastructure. Great as those challenges may seem, Harrington still sees Westchester and its residents’ collective potential. For that reason and more, Harrington was named chairman of the Westchester County Association last month to succeed Alfred B. DelBello. “The energy level he brings to the table and the commitment and passion is amazing to me,” said WCA president William Mooney. “I feel so good about him being the leader

GOOD HAPPENING IN AND THINGS ABOUT THE HUDSON VALLEY

WORLD WANDERING Galerie BMG in Woodstock is hosting “In a Big World Wandering,” an exhibition of photographs by Bryan David Griffith. In his most recent series, Griffith combines low-tech, large-format equipment and the 19th-century platinum palladium printing process to create simple, dreamlike images that invite quiet contemplation. The photographs reveal glimpses of small, unknown figures, at various times mysterious, playful or even haunting. Each image is a metaphor for the experience of being human in a complicated and sometimes isolating world. “My work is about following your heart and finding your way, despite a nagging angst…” The photos will be on display through July 9. Gallery hours are Friday through Monday noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment. For further information, contact the gallery at (845) 679-0027.

Four regional artists John Clement, Tom Holmes, James Murray and Jeff Shapiro, will have works on display.
