Developers fund New Rochelle job center

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

chunk of money from New Rochelle developers is being used to find jobs for hard-to-employ

residents.

City officials held a ribboncutting ceremony on May 26 for the First Source Referral Center, a one-stop job training and placement office at 247 North Ave.

The jobs center is funded by developers who kick money into a community benefits fund for the right to build higher than the zoning allows.

“Economic development can shape the fabric of a community,” Mayor Noam Bramson said at the event. “Even more importantly, it can change lives.”

New Rochelle hopes to attract more than $4 billion in investments and create thousands of

The city’s economy, overall, is strong. The unemployment rate in 2015 averaged 4.9 percent, according to the American Community Survey, compared with 5.3 percent nationally and statewide.

But the economy was not necessarily robust everywhere in the city. An estimated 7.7 percent of families lived below poverty level,

and among residents under age 18 the poverty rate was 16.2 percent.

“Unemployment and underemployment are high in pockets,” said New Rochelle Councilman Jared R. Rice, a Democrat representing District 3 on the city council. “The beauty of this jobs center is that it’s connected to the downtown development and investments.”

The jobs center has a $285,000 one-year budget, said Ayanna C.

From NBA finals to NYC transit, Purchase company is on the board

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

NC may not be a household name, but its products are hard to miss, especially for sports fans.

When the NBA championship finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors move to Cleveland for Game 3 next Wednesday, more than 20,000 people will sit under the massive LED screen the Purchasebased company, ANC Sports Enterprises LLC, designed and operates at Quicken Loans Arena. The 5,550-square-foot, four-sided scoreboard was nicknamed “Humungotron” by the team when it debuted in 2014. It’s the largest high definition scoreboard in the country.

Tens of thousands of spectators will glance at ANC scoreboards and displays at baseball stadiums across the country and more will pass by ANC-operated screens at the Fulton Center transit hub and Westfield World Trade Center Mall in Lower Manhattan.

All told, ANC’s LED scoreboards, screens and banners reach hundreds of millions of eyeballs every year, all from a company headquartered in a 10,000-square-foot office at 2 Manhattanville Road in The Centre at Purchase office park.

Jerry Cifarelli, ANC’s president and CEO, co-founded the company in 1997.

Over 20 years, ANC has grown from a $2.5 million startup focused on rotational signage at sports stadiums into a leading provider of high definition LED signage and technology. The company has about $500 million in annual revenue, more than 200 employees, hundreds of completed projects in professional and collegiate sports and a growing client base in the retail and transit sector.

“When you sit and start talking about it,” Cifarelli said, “It’s a nice story, the evolution of things. And how did it happen? I’m not sure. It took a lot of hard work, people dedicated to what they were doing, and taking some risk.”

Cifarelli, an Iona College graduate, founded the company with a team of four other investors, led by Alan N. Cohen, a former co-owner of the Boston Celtics and New Jersey Nets, whose initials gave ANC Sports its name. Its DBA name was shortened to ANC in 2016 as

part of the company’s expanded focus beyond sports.

After launching, ANC signed a deal to provide courtside rotational signage for WNBA games, the women’s basketball league that was also in its first season. By the next year, the company added 19 new clients across professional sports.

The company quickly expanded beyond rotational signage. Cifarelli stressed that ANC is a technology and service company and much of its growth has been driven by developing new ways to operate digital signage.

Two years after its founding, ANC developed its own operating platform for LED systems. The software allowed the company to launch LED digital signage that wrapped around arenas and stadiums, known as LED ribbons.

The Ottawa Senators was the first professional sports team to debut the full 360-degree ribbon screens around its arena, though several sports franchises soon followed. ANC later expanded on that software to create a platform that allowed central control of all LED banners, scoreboards and other screens throughout stadiums.

“We said, this doesn’t make a lot of sense just doing ribbon signage. Let’s hang a few scoreboards with it, lets marry the scoreboard with the ribbons,” Cifarelli said. “We advanced our technology, and all of the sudden we’re doing the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of the largest video screens in an arena concept.”

Along with the Cavaliers, the company designed LED video screens and ribbons for the Tennessee Titans, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Indiana Pacers and universities such as Texas Tech and Xavier. The company is in the midst of projects for Notre Dame and the University of Texas.

“That’s how we really recognize ourselves,” Cifarelli said. “When you look at the most prestigious brands in sports... they usually select us.”

ANC has won those clients, according to Cifarelli, through a “turnkey” approach. The company handles all aspects of the display systems, from engineering and installation to operation and maintenance. A 15-person graphics and design team at ANC also develops content for the displays. The company does everything except manufacture the LEDs, on which it partners

with Mitsubishi.

“For certain franchises, it was perfect,” Cifarelli said of ANC’s comprehensive approach. “They said great, I don’t have to worry about hiring 10 people to worry about this technology.”

In 2015, ANC was purchased by Learfield Communications Inc., a marketing partner for hundreds of universities in the U.S. Learfield’s ownership helped open up the university market for the company, Cifarelli said, and also provided strong financial backing. The new Missouri-based ownership immediately encouraged ANC to grow its staff.

“This is the first time in 20 years where I don’t have to think about paying the bills,” Cifarelli said. “I can think in a bigger way. And it’s taken time to build that culture inside ANC, to think big.”

Thinking big is what pushed ANC outside of its sports focus. The company in recent years has moved into retail and transit centers, starting with the Westfield World Trade Center. The company designed and operates 5,000 square feet of LED displays throughout the 350,000-square-foot shopping center that opened last year.

ANC also was contracted to build and operate digital signage at Manhattan’s Fulton Center transit hub, a project that launched in 2015. Its work there represents the largest digital network in any New York transit hub. It includes 44 LCD video walls totaling more than 1,200 square feet and more than 2,100 square feet of LED displays. The screens offer a news feed, sports, weather, advertising, transit information and host digital art displays. Last year, the project was recognized with a Digital Signage Expo APEX award, which represents the best from the annual international trade show.

With two high-profile transit jobs already completed, more projects are on the way and will be announced soon by the company, Cifarelli said.

“People finally aren’t perceiving us just as a sign company, as we used to be,” Cifarelli said. “I tell people, Who is ANC? We are a technology services company, simple as that. We just happen to hang displays, wherever they are.”

And that opens up plenty of opportunities.

“Where can we be? Anywhere and everywhere,” Cifarelli said.

YONKERS CANCER CENTER IN $1B BANKRUPCY A Yonkers radiation practice, along with 59 affiliates around the country that comprise the largest network of cancer treatment centers in the world, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in White Plains.

The parent entity, 21st Century Oncology Holdings, based in Fort Myers, Florida, claims liabilities of more than $1 billion in its petition, which also was filed in White Plains on May 25.

Its local affiliate is New York Radiation Therapy Management Services LLC, 970 N. Broadway, Yonkers.

The business is fundamentally strong and profitable, according to a declaration by interim CEO Paul Rundell. But it has been hurt by reimbursement practices by insurance programs and by government regulatory actions.

The company has taken on more than $1.1 billion in long-term debt and has annual debt service obligations of more than $100 million.

It has proposed a restructuring agreement that would reduce debt by $500 million and provide capital for operations.

The company was founded in 1983 by a group of physicians who wanted to provide “academic-level, quality radiation at the community level,” the declaration states.

A private equity firm that is not identified acquired the company in 2008.

21st Century operates 179 treatment centers in 17 states and seven Latin American countries. All but seven of its 66 domestic subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy.

As of Sept. 30, the company posted $1.4 billion in liabilities and $1.1 billion in assets, according to a financial statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Most of the debt, according to the declaration, is held by Vestar Capital Partners and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

On Nov. 1, 21st Century failed to make an interest payment. A month later, having failed to remedy the shortfall, it defaulted on the debt, according to an SEC filing, which in turn triggered defaults on other debt obligations.

Joseph Biscardi, the senior vice president and principal accounting officer, resigned in November and LeAnne M. Stewart assumed his duties temporarily.

In January, Daniel E. Dosoretz, a member of the board of directors, resigned but con-

tinued as the company’s senior physician.

In February, Stewart and CEO William Spalding resigned.

Rundell, a managing director of Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare Industry Group LLC, a firm that specializes in restructuring companies, was named interim CEO. Doug Staut, also from Alvarez & Marsal, was named interim chief financial officer. Their firm is being paid $300,000 a month for their services, according to an SEC filing.

Rundell says in his bankruptcy declaration that the company philosophy and business structure has allowed it to lead in most of its markets. But recent developments have left it with “unsustainable debt service obligations, which require a deleveraging of their balance sheet.”

As the population has aged and health insurance has changed, Rundell stated, there has been more denial of coverage and lower reimbursement rates, decreasing cash flow by $33.2 million last year.

“Additionally, a changing political landscape has injected uncertainty into the health insurance market.”

The company also has incurred costs to settle lawsuits and regulatory actions.

In 2015, it paid $19.75 million to the federal government to settle a case, which included questions about the medical necessity of certain laboratory services. Last year it paid the federal government $34.7 million to settle allegations that it had billed for services that were not medically necessary.

Currently, it is under investigation by the Department of Justice and by state attorneys general over a data breach concerning 2.2 million patients in 2015. The Department of Justice is also investigating possible criminal antitrust violations, as well as allegations under the False Claims Act and the Social Security Act. Rundell said the company is fully cooperating with the government inquiries.

IRS FILES $19.4M CLAIM IN YONKERS BANKRUPTCY A newspaper industry reeling from plunging advertising revenues is taking another hit with the bankruptcy of a Yonkers company.

Metro Newspaper Advertising Services filed for Chapter 11 reorganization on March 27, estimating less than $10 million in assets and as much as $50 million in liabilities.

The Internal Revenue Service filed a $19.4 million claim on May 9. The IRS said Metro owes the money for charges going back to 2004 for corporate income, federal unemployment, Social Security and Medicare taxes and penalties.

Metro was formed in 1932 as a consortium of major market newspapers to attract national advertising. More than 200 advertisers use Metro as their agent to order ads in print publications.

JAPANESE BANK SIGNS WHITE PLAINS LEASE

1 N. Lexington Ave., White Plains

One of Japan’s largest banks, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. (SMBC), will bring what is expected to be hundreds of jobs to the White Plains Central Business District, where it has leased 101,000 square feet of office space at 1 N. Lexington Ave. The multinational banking and financial services company, headquartered in Tokyo, inked a 13-year lease at the 18-story, 525,000-square-foot, Class A office tower

known as Gateway One. The deal, which closed last week after being for several months a common subject of talk among real estate brokers in Westchester, was announced May 25 by CBRE Group Inc. Sumitomo Mitsui will continue to maintain its U.S headquarters at 277 Park Ave. in midtown Manhattan, according to a CBRE spokesperson.

The Stamford-based CBRE team of Executive Vice President William V. Cuddy Jr. and Vice President Jacqueline Novotny represented the building ownership, Gateway One Group, in negotiations as the property’s exclusive leasing agents.

A Jones Lang LaSalle brokerage team of Bill Peters, Derek Trulson, Robert Ageloff and Paul Tortora, from the firm’s New York City and Stamford offices, represented Sumitomo Mitsui in the deal.

White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach in the lease announcement welcomed Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. to the city.

“We’ve worked hard to create an environment that’s attractive to employers and residents alike and it’s gratifying to see our efforts bear fruit,” he said. “The hundreds of jobs that SMBC will bring to the city will add to the vibrancy of our downtown and provide economic benefits to our downtown businesses.”

At CBRE, Novotny called the banking giant’s lease, at a property only one block from the Metro-North train station and White Plains Transportation Center, “part

of an early trend of the increased interest from New York City tenants coming into downtown White Plains looking for more reasonable rental rates. Tenants value the live, work and play environment and appreciate the advantage of the convenient commute to Manhattan.”

The deal also marked two decades for Cuddy as exclusive leasing agent at 1 N. Lexington Ave., which is 96 percent leased.

Ascensia in the fourth quarter will relocate 80 employees from its research and development and operations facility at 777 Old Saw Mill River Road in Tarrytown, a former office of Bayer Diabetes Care.

Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Ascensia was established in 2016 when Panasonic Healthcare Holdings acquired Bayer Diabetes Care.

TWO NEW TENANTS FOR THE SUMMIT IN VALHALLA Two new corporate tenants will move into The Summit office complex in Valhalla this year after signing leases totaling about 81,000 square feet of space.

The deals were announced by The Summit’s landlord, Reckson, the suburban division of SL Green Realty Corp. in New York City.

100 Summit Lake Drive in Valhalla

Ascensia Diabetes Care US Inc., a global diabetes health management company, has signed an 11-year lease for 65,000 square feet of space at 100 Summit Lake Drive, one of three buildings in the 700,000-squarefoot Class A office complex.

500 Summit Lake Drive in Valhalla

Reckson said Exelon Generation Co., an American Fortune 100 energy company, inked a 16,442-square-foot lease for firstfloor space at 500 Summit Lake Drive and is expected to occupy the office in July.

Ascensia was represented in lease negotiations by brokers Steven Rotter and Conor Gill, of Jones Lang LaSalle’s New York City and Stamford offices. Reckson was represented in-house on both deals, while SL Green was represented by Brian Carcaterra and Jacqueline Novotny, of the CBRE office in Stamford.

John Barnes, senior vice president at SL Green and managing director of its Reckson division, said The Summit is now home to four Fortune 500 companies and is 93 percent leased.

Sunsetting online enrollment means fewer health care options for small businesses

W

e are very disappointed the Trump administration recently announced they are proposing to sunset online enrollment for the federal Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) marketplaces. If the proposal is finalized, after Nov. 15 small businesses would only be able to window-shop for SHOP coverage through Healthcare.gov and would instead have to enroll by using a broker or buying directly from an insurance company. Forcing small employers to make this extra effort just to enroll in SHOP will make it likely that SHOP usage dwindles to little or nothing.

As disappointing as this proposal is, it does not come as a surprise since the success of SHOP has not been a priority.

Thanks to delays of key SHOP provisions like implementation of employee choice and lack of efforts to ensure the SHOP marketplaces are robust and competitive, the program has not been nearly as successful as we had hoped.

We know from Small Business Majority’s scientific opinion polling that small businesses support key features of SHOP, including employee choice and the small-business tax credits. By removing the online enrollment functionality, the employee choice feature will become all but impossible for employers to utilize and it will become more difficult to take advantage of the small business tax credit, which is a setback for small businesses.

We believe SHOP still has the potential to be an important tool to help small businesses access quality and comprehensive health coverage, but only if this administration makes it a priority to bolster the program and recognize the challenges small businesses face in accessing coverage.

Unfortunately, this proposal is just one more example of how the Trump administration would rather undo key parts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that are good for small businesses, their employees and their families, rather than focus on improving and strengthening the health care law.

Trump’s budget cuts would create more barriers to small-business success

P

resident Trump’s proposed budget for 2018 would hit small businesses hard. If enacted, the plan would slash Medicaid, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund — all programs that small businesses depend on.

The most egregious cut in the White House’s proposal is the gutting of Medicaid, a program that delivers health coverage to millions of small-business employees nationwide and self-employed entrepreneurs. In fact, Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act grew the number of small-business employees receiving insurance through that program by 1.7 million between 2013 and 2015 alone, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Those gains would be reversed under the president’s plan, however, as approximately 10 million people would lose coverage thanks to Medicaid cuts. This would harm the low-income self-employed and self-employed entrepreneurs who are getting their businesses off the ground, as well as small businesses that are unable to offer health coverage to employees.

Another major problem for small employers would be the president’s proposed cuts to the Community Development

Financial Institutions Fund, which is the single-largest source of capital for CDFIs. Eliminating this funding would drastically decrease investment in small businesses in underserved communities.

Should that happen, fledgling small businesses in need of loans will find it extremely difficult to get much-needed funding and entrepreneurs looking to start new businesses will be unable to get their firms off the ground.

President Trump’s proposal also includes a 5 percent reduction for the SBA. Under the plan, the SBA would see a $12 million decrease in available grants.

It’s notable that all of these cuts assume the Affordable Care Act will be repealed and replaced and that President Trump’s outlined tax reform will be enacted. Since these proposals would also hurt small businesses, it seems the president is attacking entrepreneurs from all sides.

President Trump’s budget shows that he either does not understand the needs of small businesses or he has no interest in helping them succeed. Lawmakers must reject this budget proposal and should instead craft a plan that will actually enable the success of America’s job creators.

John Arensmeyer is founder and CEO of Small Business Majority, a national advocacy organization for small businesses.

Citrin Cooperman Corner

Estate Planning in the Uncertainty of Estate Tax Repeal RONALD B. HEGT, CPA CITRIN COOPERMAN With apologies to Shakespeare, while Hamlet was musing about death he said “to be, or not to be- that is the question,” however, maybe Hamlet ought to have thought, “to plan or not to plan.”

RONALD B. HEGT The federal estate tax has been on and off the chopping block for years, and now seems to be heading to its ultimate demise.

Many people equate estate tax planning with estate planning and therefore assume the elimination of the first logically eliminates the second. This is not the case. Estate planning remains equally as important today as it was (is) with the federal estate tax in place.

CONTINUING TAX REASONS While the federal estate tax may be repealed, many states continue to have estate, death, and inheritance taxes that could become more expensive, without the benefit of a deduction against federal taxes for those ancillary taxes.

Since the repeal plans being discussed

by Congress do not include the repeal of gift taxes or generation skipping taxes, continued attention needs to be paid to lifetime transfers.

In addition, the implementation of a capital gains tax at death on assets in excess of $10 million has also been proposed, and should be considered.

Life insurance trusts will continue to play an important role in estate planning. These trusts shield the proceeds from inclusion in a decedent’s estate, which may continue to be relevant for shielding the trust beneficiary from the proposed capital gains on death tax. In addition, these trusts can be used as the source for covering final expenses or providing an income stream to a beneficiary, which could be protected from a beneficiary’s creditors.

SUCCESSION PLANNING OPTIONS Now that you spent the bulk of your working days building a successful business, don’t you need to consider the ramifications of passing the baton?

Do you have children in the business that are interested in taking over the business? If so, are you giving it to them? Are you selling it to them? Do you want to continue being involved in the business? Do you need or want a continuing cash flow from the business? Or, do you want to incur a current income tax cost for transferring it?

Consider the situation of a business owner who has one child ready to step into the driver’s seat and a sibling, or siblings, that have no interest in the business, or no business acumen. You would need to consider providing a wealth transfer of non-business assets to these children to avoid post-death family discord.

If there is not a next generation to transfer to, do you want to sell to key employees? Will an ESOP be the right tool? Or do you want to consider either a sale to a competitor or

the use of a business broker to leverage a strategic market?

PROVIDING FOR YOUR FAMILY There is an endless list of questions involved in trying to determine how to provide for your family, starting with a surviving spouse. Do you want to leave them the principal or just the income from those assets? Trusts may provide the flexibility to control depletion of assets and be nimble enough to provide for unanticipated changes.

How would you want to handle your assets if there is a second spouse involved, either not as the natural parent of your heirs or if there are heirs from a spouse’s previous marriage?

When it comes to children, there are no right answers. Is there a child for whom, for your own personal reasons, you do not wish to provide for? How about a situation with one very successful child and one who struggles.

Do you want to split your assets evenly, or provide more for the one who needs more?

Beyond the ‘who gets what?’, ‘how?’ and ‘when?’ are the questions no one wants to face.

We live in a litigious society and need to plan in advance for events we hope will not occur.

Is there a family member who is a spendthrift?

Does this person need a trust to dole out a living allowance so there is something down the road for the future? Or, are you interested in protecting your children’s inheritance from potential future spouses or creditors?

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS The use of trusts for special planning will continue to play a major economic role, regardless of the direction that estate taxes take. Some of the circumstances that will continue to need attention include the use of supplemental needs trusts or qualified disability trusts.

A supplemental needs trust is a vehicle used to allow a chronically ill or severely disabled individual to qualify for Medicaid or other governmental benefits, without reducing these benefits. The trust can provide funds for an individual’s needs not covered

by Medicaid, without reducing the Medicaid benefits. While at the end of the individual’s life, the remaining funds would reimburse the state for amounts expended, the funds could provide benefits during a lifetime rather than be consumed in paying for medical care.

Qualified disability trusts are often set up to provide for long term care for disabled family members that would continue following the death of the primary caretaker.

As you can see, estate planning will remain alive, well, and important in a potential post- estate tax era.

Peekskill — From page 1

Sited just off Route 202 and Bear Mountain Parkway, the 178-unit luxury rental apartment complex will be clustered in three five-story buildings on Chateau Rive and John streets and include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, some of which will offer views of the city of Peekskill and the Hudson River. The complex’s amenities will include a fitness center, club room and swimming pool, along with access to event space.

The project will also include the construction of 20 rental townhomes along Main Street between Spring and Hadden streets.

Ginsburg also plans to develop the Fort Hill Inn and Spa, a 41-room hotel and eatery in the former St. Mary’s Chapel building on the site. The chapel dates to the late 19th century and was home to the Episcopal Community of St. Mary until 2003.

Geoff Thompson, a spokesperson for Ginsburg Development, said the Valhallabased company's in negotiations with a number of prospective restaurateurs, though no plans have been set. Ginsburg Development will also bring in an outside management company to operate the hotel.

Ginsburg Development acquired the property in 2003 and, after numerous development plans fell through over the next decade, rekindled the project at the urging of Peekskill Mayor Frank Catalina and presented plans to Peekskill city officials in 2015. At that time Martin Ginsburg, founder and principal of Ginsburg Development Cos, told the Business Journal that the idea

An architect’s rendering of the Fort Hill luxury apartment redevelopment planned for the St. Mary’s Chapel site in Peekskill.

for the Fort Hill development was a “combination of promoting tourism and bringing people in a higher income category into the downtown area.”

The site surrounding the planned development in the Revolutionary War was a Continental Army lookout post that was attacked and occupied by a British military expedition in 1777. In 1929, Peekskill purchased the property for Fort Hill Park, a 10-acre site commemorating that battle.

As part of the development plans, Ginsburg will donate 52 acres of parkland to the city, which will expand the public park to 62 acres, according to Peekskill City Planner Jesica Youngblood. Youngblood added that the city might take advantage

of state funding initiatives to expand the area’s existing trail network into the new parkland.

In preparation for the development of the property, rock blasting began on the site earlier this year. The project is expected to break ground on June 13 and construction could take about a year to complete, according to Thompson. The developer expects to begin leasing at Fort Hill Apartments next spring.

The Fort Hill project will mark another of Ginsburg’s luxury apartment complexes built in Westchester in the market recovery since the Great Recession and credit market crisis halted condominium development

by Ginsburg and other developers here.

“We work with the hardest to serve,” said James Coughlin, Westhab’s senior vice president of services.

The program actually began about three months ago. Coughlin was uncertain then that enough candidates could be found to participate. Sixty-three people enrolled. “That was an eye-opener,” he said.

Case managers assess each candidate’s job readiness. Many candidates have been in training or mentoring programs previously but failed to find success in the job market. So building trust is important.

“We start by getting them to tell us about themselves, their families, their goals,” Coughlin said. “We take the journey

In May, the developer unveiled the latest in its GDC Rentals brand of luxury apartments with the $110 million, 330-unit River Tides at Greystone complex in Yonkers, the company’s third luxury rental development to open in the county in the past year.

In September, Ginsburg opened The Lofts on Saw Mill River, a $35 million, 66-unit apartment complex on Route 9A in Hastings-on-Hudson. Hudson Square, a $65 million, 188-unit complex on the Ossining riverfront, opened last summer.

Earlier this year, Ginsburg Development Cos. paid $35.25 million for a 124-unit luxury apartment tower at 34 S. Lexington Ave. in downtown White Plains, which it rebranded as The Metro.

They might need food, MetroCards for transportation, clothing for a job interview, child care or housing. The program connects them with support services.

The center has already held a couple of workshops on construction jobs, with speakers from RXR Realty and Hudson Meridian Construction Group, a New York City construction management company. It also works with the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce, Wayner said, to identify jobs in fields such as retail and health care.

Already, 20 candidates have landed fulltime jobs and 27 are in training programs, said Joanne Dunn, Westhab’s director of employment services.

“We’re like life coaches,” Coughlin said, “being a part of their entire lives and tackling all barriers.”

“Anybody can get a job at McDonald’s.

HUDSON VALLEY

EMPIRE RESORTS' CATSKILLS CASINO RENAMED The casino under construction as the centerpiece of a $1.2 billion resort in Sullivan County has a new name befitting its regional location and its recently licensed international gaming brand: Resorts World Catskills.

Empire Resorts Inc. announced the change for its formerly named Montreign Resort Casino, which is rising on the razed site of the renowned Concord Resort Hotel at Kiamesha Lake. Scheduled to open in March 2018, it will include an 18-story hotel, more than 100,000 square feet of casino floor space and 27,000 square feet of multipurpose meeting and entertainment space.

In April, Montreign Operating Company, LLC, the Empire Resorts subsidiary that will operate the casino, entered into a license agreement to rebrand the Catskills casino as a Resorts World property. Resorts World is a joint venture company of the Malaysian conglomerate Genting Berhad. It operates Resorts World Casino New York City in Queens and five other gaming resorts worldwide and is building another property in Las Vegas.

Empire Resorts officials in Monticello said the name Resorts World Catskills was chosen following market research regarding the rebranding. It pays homage to the four-county Catskills region, which is “known for its crisp mountain air and fresh food and has traditionally served as a yearround resort destination of choice for New York residents,” according to Empire.

Emanuel Pearlman, executive chairman of the Empire Resorts board of directors, said the new name “melds the allure of the Catskills region with the prestige of the Resorts World family. This recognized worldwide gaming and hospitality brand will provide us greater power to market our resort casino, which is designed to meet 5-star and 5-diamond standards and provide regional, national and international exposure for the Catskills region.” He said the company aims to reach a market of Resorts World customers worldwide.

The licensing agreement gives Montreign rights to use Resorts World and Genting branding in casino marketing, sales, management and operations. It also allows the branding to be used at the entertainment village and redesigned Concord golf course being developed by Montreign subsidiaries on the rural site in the town of Thompson.

WOODBURY COMMON COMPLETES REDEVELOPMENT, EXPANSION Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, the outlet shopping mall in Central Valley, completed a three-year, multimillion-dollar redevelopment and expansion project at the property at 498 Red Apple Court.

The redevelopment of the shopping center, which is owned by Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc., includes an additional 60,000 square feet of retail that expands Woodbury Common to 910,000 square feet.

As part of the expansion, the outlet added 40 new luxury brands, including Givenchy, Loewe, Marc Jacobs, Rag & Bone and Sandro and Maje, and more than 14 eateries, including Shake Shack, Yo! Sushi, Le Pain Quotidien, Magnolia Bakery and Pret A Manger.

A new four-level parking garage adds more than 1,000 parking spaces to the property. On-site roads have been improved

and an outer loop has been created. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Other enhancements include landscaping, walkways, signage, lighting, artwork, fountains, fireplaces and outdoor seating.

“Woodbury Common continues to set the benchmark in the retail industry, offering best-in-class luxury shopping and a memorable customer experience,” said David Mistretta, general manager of Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.

“The redevelopment reinforces our commitment to providing shoppers with a superior environment and amenities and bolsters our reputation as the place to go for the world’s most famous and desired luxury brands.”

VALLEY DISTILLER OPENS MALL BAR The Black Dirt Bourbon Barn, a subsidiary of Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, opened over Memorial Day weekend as

the first standalone bar at Woodbury Common.

The bar serves cocktails, beer, cider and wine and features a seasonal list of both classic cocktails and drinks invented

by Black Dirt Distillery in Warwick. It also serves snacks such as charcuterie, cheeses and hummus.

Any cocktail at the Black Dirt Bourbon Barn is available for purchase as a kit to take and make at home. Tastings are also offered for spirits, wine, beer and cider sold there in bottles or cans. In addition to beverages produced by its parent company, Warwick Valley Winery, owners said the mall taproom carries spirits from as many as six other New York producers.

Occupying an approximately 12-foot by 18-foot space in the Hudson Valley section of Woodbury Common, Black Dirt Bourbon Barn is open from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

An outdoor patio seats 36 people.

Tapping the potential of student interns

tudent interns can be a company’s secret weapon. They’re enthusiastic and highly motivated and many possess technological skills that can greatly improve projects. Hiring them is costeffective for you and means a great deal to them.

Interns often enter an office with an incredible amount of tech know-how.

Many are masters of mediums that firms are still struggling to understand and adopt. And it’s not just a matter of knowing the tools; they’re keenly aware of today’s media ecosystem. For example, an intern might propose using a social media channel’s geo-targeted filters in order to place a brand in front of a key demographic — exactly the sort of cost-effective tactic that might elude staff who focus primarily on traditional media channels.

Many businesses don’t fully unlock these interns’ potential. Rather than leverage their unique skills, these firms assign interns to mundane tasks, such as organizing meetings and photocopying things. That’s not to denigrate such duties; after all, an office needs to keep running. But it can prove short-sighted.

For students, an internship is a good opportunity to gain valuable professional experience, which could translate into an even better job upon graduation. Here are some steps a company should take when onboarding an intern: Introduce them to the working culture of the company by explaining the core values, hours of operation and things like lunch and breaks.

Chat about texting and the use of personal social media during the workday.

Different firms take different approaches to regulating this sort of activity.

Set ground rules about what a manager or boss expects from interns.

Introduce smaller, more achievable tasks during the introductory period, which will open the door to success.

Once the intern feels more confident, you can build from there. The key to bringing interns into a company is making them feel comfortable, with a clear set of expectations. While it takes time and thought to build such a trusting relationship, it’s well worth it in the end. If you watch the television show “Billions,” you’ve seen how Taylor, the brilliant student intern, has been empowered to make sizable investment decisions.

Trusting in a young mind can often pay off.

In order to manage interns effectively, listening is key. Too often, businesses will onboard an intern and then simply dump a list of tasks onto their lap.

By engaging in conversations with new interns and figuring out their interests and strengths, you can determine how to use them more effectively.

For example, if the intern demonstrates a passion for writing and editorial work, it might benefit everyone if you assign him or her to a PR or contentproduction team. In a similar vein, if the intern expresses a desire to learn a particular tool — such as Photoshop — take the time to teach. Motivation, combined with skill, is a real force multiplier.

With enough cultivation and grooming, interns can grow into a wonderful resource, full of fresh ideas and cutting-edge knowledge. Ostensibly they’ve joined the organization to learn, but they can end up being the ones who teach exciting new things. In order to unlock all of this potential, however, an organization needs to respect what interns can do — and pay accordingly.

Interns can prove to be valuable team members and they should be paid as such. Although many businesses have used unpaid interns for years, the regulations around the practice have tightened, forcing businesses to allocate a budget line for internships. This isn’t a bad thing, provided businesses develop a plan for utilizing interns’ skill sets. As students, the income they receive can make a huge difference in their lifestyle. In some cases, they might otherwise have to work for minimum wage in an unlikely job just to earn enough to make ends meet.

Interns might not realize the full potential of the opportunity you are offering, but as they progress in their professional life, they will look back in appreciation. Their first full-time employer will benefit and they will be worth more financially as well. As an employer, you will get a great deal of satisfaction out of teaching what you know — and you’ll be surprised at how much you learn.

Open Door and WMCHealth team up on patient care in Mamaroneck this and other facilities have access at an appropriate and early stage as needed to specialty services,” Keenan said.

Access to specialty services is particularly difficult for individuals who are either underinsured or uninsured, she said.

“We are determined through our partnership with Open Door to make this issue go away, to facilitate the right care in the right place at the right time for everyone, so that ultimately, we can treat more people because we’ll be treating people in a more

espite dreary weather conditions that included a torrential downpour, the mood within the newest Open Door Family Medical Centers facility in Mamaroneck was bright on a recent Thursday.

The Ossining-based, nonprofit provider of health and wellness services held a ceremonial ribbon cutting on May 25 at the new medical center at 689 Mamaroneck Ave., the organization’s sixth center to open in Westchester and Putnam counties. The Open Door facility will operate in the building in tandem with a new Westchester Medical Center Health Network office providing specialty medical care.

“When you provide cost-effective, prevention-oriented primary care for those who may not have adequate access to the health care system, the entire community benefits,” said Lindsay Farrell, president and CEO of Open Door.

While Open Door focuses on treating low-income individuals who might not otherwise be able to afford care, the organization expects the facility to offer benefits to all Mamaroneck residents while lessening the burden on area emergency rooms and fostering a healthier community.

Housed in a renovated office building, the 5,000-square-foot center will offer services including primary care, pediatrics, family medicine and planning, prenatal and pregnancy care, HIV services, behavioral and mental health services, patient advocacy and insurance enrollment. Fees will be based on a sliding scale.

Farrell said the organization chose to open a facility in Mamaroneck to meet the needs of patients who live in the area.

“We have more than a thousand people who utilize our services in Port Chester and are now being able to utilize our services here,” Farrell said. “That signals a need in a community. It made sense to do this. It took a while, but that’s why we’re here.”

Founded in the basement of Ossining’s First Baptist Church in 1972, Open Door now facilitates 260,000 annual patient visits and serves more than 51,000 patients.

Opened to patients in mid-May, the Mamaroneck center joins Open Door facilities, in Ossining, Mount Kisco, Port Chester, Sleepy Hollow and Brewster. Open Door also operates a number of school-based facilities and mobile dental services.

Later this year, it plans to move into a new 12,500-square-foot health center in Sleepy Hollow that will replace an existing

location on Beekman Avenue and provide expanded space for the family medicine physician residency program that Open Door operates with Phelps Memorial Hospital.

The Mamaroneck opening follows more than four years of planning and development, Farrell said. Prior to its opening, Open Door partnered with Mamaroneck’s Community Resource Center to co-sponsor an annual health fair, provide medical and dental screenings for the resource center’s constituents and sponsor after-school fitness programming. Open Door also served on the Mamaroneck Community Coalition.

The Mamaroneck center opened in cooperation with the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, or WMCHealth. The Valhalla-based organization will occupy the upper floors of the recently remodeled facility and offer certain medical specialty practices.

In Mamaroneck, “While our priority is people that don’t have other alternatives, we’re open to everybody,” said June Keenan, WMCHealth’s senior vice president of delivery system transformation and executive director of the Center for Regional Healthcare Innovation. “We’re good at what we do, and we have a beautiful facility. We want to be a resource for the community.”

The partnership between WMCHealth, which operates 10 hospitals in the Hudson Valley, and Open Door is part of New York state’s Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment program. Backed by up to $6.42 billion in federal Medicaid funds to New York, the statewide initiative aims to fundamentally restructure the health care delivery system by reinvesting in the Medicaid program with the primary goal of reducing avoidable hospital use by 25 percent over 5 years through timely patient-centered health care services.

At WMCHealth, “We are committed to ensuring that all of the patients who use

effective way, and it will cost us all as a society less.”

Farrell said this topic is even more important in light of the ongoing health care debate in Washington, one she continues to keep a close eye on.

“I was concerned about the bill that passed the House and I’m obviously concerned about what the Senate will do,” Farrell said, referring to House Republicans’ American Health Care Act. “I’m just hoping they don’t destroy all the progress that we’ve made.”

Improve these ‘first Impressions’ and win more business

W

hen you look at how your last 10 customers found you and decided to do business with you, their process to reach you has changed drastically over the years.

Where customers used to find you by walking past your storefront or opening up a phone book, customers now find you after researching your industry, pricing, competitors and your specific offerings. Now more than ever our customers digitally interact with us before even calling us for a consultation or quotation.

The reason for this change: technology.

Here are four technology “first impressions” that every business owner can finetune to increase profits this year by providing a valuable customer journey.

TUNE YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE

Fifteen years ago, a website was a novelty and those who had the shiniest websites often generated more business just by having a site. Now a website alone is rarely enough. Now, if you have built a longstanding business with a 3-page website and zero advertising, I sincerely commend you.

However, even companies like yours would benefit from enhancing your web presence

engage with clients, does their voice come in crystal clear or scratchy and spotty?

Enhancing your telephone system portrays both a professional image and a more pleasurable client image. Simply put, you want your customers to enjoy calling you.

Tech recommendation: Consider a quality voiceover IP (VOIP) with call forwarding, voicemail, and even a professional voiceover virtual attendant.

with investments in a quality website with educational content that attracts and qualifies your ideal customers and persuades them to take action to inquire of your services. Depending on your industry, you may also do well with a strategic social media and paid advertising strategy.

Tech recommendation: Tune up your website, add customer testimonials, embed contact-us forms and connect your website to your social media channels.

ENHANCE YOUR PHONE SYSTEM

When your customers call into your main line, how are they greeted? By a friendly front desk attendant or a robotic prompting system? And when your staff

CREATE A MARKETING & SALES PROCESS

Your marketing & sales process is a key component of your customer’s first impression of your business. From their initial website interaction to engaging with your marketing content to submitting a form to your “Contact Us” page and how quickly you call them back, all reflect on your business’ ability to serve your clients and get the job done. Technology will enhance how quickly your customer’s questions go answered and how quickly they connect with you for help when they need it most.

Tech recommendation: Route all contact page submissions to your customer relationship management tool and email address, send a monthly educational newsletter and call your prospects

back as quickly as possible.

TECHIFY YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE

Of all the things to invest in, nothing beats investing in customer service. Your customer service experience is the differentiator between your business and the competitors next door. No amount of sales training or rebranding beats exceptional customer service. Fortunately, technology can enhance that customer experience by reducing the amount of time they spend with issues and enhancing the quality and trust in your product.

Tech recommendation: Invest in help desk software, a customer relationship management (CRM) tool to track customer interactions with you, and deliver electronic statements and invoices.

Of all the possible investments you could make into your business, we always recommend to focus on those that improve service, reduce costs, enhance productivity or provide a fun experience.

WCC, TOURO SIGN NURSING TRANSFER AGREEMENT Westchester Community College and The Touro College and University System will work together to streamline the process for WCC nursing graduates to receive a bachelor’s degree from Touro.

The Valhalla community college and Touro, the nonprofit school system that operates New York Medical College, signed an articulation agreement on WCC’s campus May 18.

The agreement will provide a streamlined transfer process for Westchester Community College’s graduates with an associate degree in nursing to enter the bachelor of science in nursing program offered by Touro. The program, offered by the Touro School of Health Sciences, is called the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing, or RN to BSN. Starting in fall 2017, the Touro will offer the RN to BSN program on the New York Medical College campus in Valhalla.

WCC nursing graduates with a gradepoint average of 2.5 or better will be able to apply for acceptance to the program.

Associate graduates can transfer up to 90 credits while taking additional required

“With this new agreement with Touro, we have created an exciting new pathway for our graduates,” said Belinda S. Miles, president of Westchester Community College. “At next year’s commencement, we expect to be congratulating students who will be continuing their studies at Touro College.”

CHIPOTLE IN WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD HACKED Four Westchester locations and 10 Fairfield County outlets were part of the payment card security incident reported last month

by Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. The company determined that a malware attack designed to access payment card data from point-of-sale devices took place at multiple Chipotle locations between March 24 and April 18.

In a statement on its website, the company said the malware “searched for track data (which sometimes has cardholder name in addition to card number, expiration date, and internal verification code) read from the magnetic stripe of a payment card as it was being routed through the POS device.” While the company insisted that there was “no indication that other customer information was affected,” it nonetheless advised customers to review their credit and debit card statements.

Middle Skill Career Paths Grow in Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Sectors

M

iddle-skill jobs are defined as positions that require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year degree. They can include roles in fields such as computer technology, advanced manufacturing, communications, customer service, and more.

The demand for middle-skill jobs remains high, yet an unprepared workforce with a lack of credentials is causing many positions to remain unfilled. A National Skills Coalition report states that in New York State 46 percent of anticipated job openings through 2022 will be in this “middle-skill” category. Specifically on a local level, Westchester Community College’s (WCC) 2016 study reported that tech support jobs in the Hudson Valley are projected to increase and typically require a middle-skill level of education.

These jobs provide an opportunity to working families to advance in the labor market and move into the middle class. On the flip side workers may not be aware of these well paying career paths that don’t require a 4 year degree to get started.

the company states in a bankruptcy filing.

Metro closed offices and cut expenses, and it looked as if it had turned the corner last year. But a one-time debt restructuring disrupted cash flow, the company claims, and then there was a noticeable downturn in the industry in the first quarter this year.

Accounts are in arrears and it has had to place new ad orders on a cash on delivery or on a cash before delivery basis.

The renamed Tribune Publishing Co., tronc (Tribune online content), says it was told around March or April that advertisers were leaving Metro for other agencies.

Metro said in a March court filing that it believes it can successfully reorganize and emerge from Chapter 11, if it can get a respite from creditor pressure and focus on building up accounts to previous levels.

It employed 41 people when it filed for bankruptcy protection.

But tronc states in a court filing that a Metro representative said on April 6 that the company was shutting its doors.

On April 26, according to tronc, Cavaliere told creditors that Metro did not have a viable business and that the employees had been terminated, except for five or six people to “clean things up.”

To better align skills with demand area colleges are offering programs that lead to an industry-recognized technical certification or associate degree, include a hands-on experience component, give students practice troubleshooting hardware and software issues; and incorporate the fundamental principles of computer into entry-level programming courses in the Technology Industry.

To support and assist local companies in connecting with potential employees, a Virtual Middle Skills Job Fair is currently in place on the Westchester-Putnam One Stop Career website. Employers can go to to www.westchesterputnamonestop.com to create an account, post jobs, and review resumes.

There are also several reimbursement options for companies to upskill current or potential employees. Work Tryouts reimburses 100 percent of wages paid for up to six weeks so companies can try employees risk free and On the Job Training (OJT) will subsidize up to 90 percent of wages paid for up to six months while a new employee learns specific skills required for their new job.

Chinese national pleads guilty to economic espionage at IBM

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Chinese national pleaded guilty on May 19 to economic espionage and theft of trade secrets from IBM in federal court in White Plains.

Xu Jiaqiang, 31, stole source code for the benefit of China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission, according to a superseding indictment filed last June.

The government has not identified the victim of the theft but Xu worked for International Business Machines Corp. in China and voluntarily resigned from the Armonk-based company in 2014.

He was arrested at a White Plains hotel

complex systems that run on multiple servers used by scientists, governments and corporations. The networks are well suited for applications such as video on demand, digital video surveillance and seismic modeling, where users in many places need to quickly update or access files at the same time.

Companies such as IBM closely guard

their source codes and allow access to a small number of employees.

The indictment does not explain how China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission, known for enforcing China’s one-child policy, is connected to Xu or how it benefited from the thefts.

Xu pleaded guilty to three counts of economic espionage and three counts of

theft of a trade secret. The charges carry maximum sentences of 15 years in prison for espionage and 10 years for theft.

Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 13.

“What Xu did was not only a federal crime,” acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said in a press release, “but a threat to our national security and the American spirit of innovation.”

What Xu did was not only a federal crime, but a threat to our national security and the American spirit of innovation.

— ACTING U.S. ATTORNEY JOON H. KIM

in December 2015 after meetings with an undercover FBI agent posing as an investor in a large-data storage company.

The FBI had received a report in 2014 of someone in China claiming to have access to proprietary source code from a U.S. company. The agency set up a sting operation that took more than a year to snare Xu. Xu, who formerly lived in Beijing, China, received a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Delaware in 2009.

He worked for IBM as a systems software developer from 2010 to 2014, according to his LinkedIn profile. The government said he had access to a company’s parallel file system, also called a clustered file system, on which the company had invested millions of dollars a year for decades.

Westchester joins energy alliance

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

W

estchester County has joined Sustainable Westchester, a consortium of more than 40 local governments focused on renewable energy and sustainability initiatives.

County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced in a press conference on May 23 that joining the nonprofit gives the county new partners to “continue to conserve and strengthen our natural resources and environment for current and future generations.”

For Sustainable Westchester, the county’s participation adds a level of government to a group that includes cities such as Yonkers, New Rochelle and White Plains, and a majority of the towns and villages in the county.

Bob Elliott, executive director of Sustainable Westchester, said the county has been supportive of the consortium in the past. Sustainable Westchester had been in discussions to work with the county on various initiatives before Westchester decided to join the consortium, according to Elliott.

In a press release, Elliott said the county’s involvement would allow Sustainable Westchester “to tap into the rich experience and expertise” of many county departments.

Elliott told the Business Journal that the group’s Municipal Solar Buyers Group, which helps municipalities install solar, could be of particular interest to the county.

The consortium facilitates other green initiatives such as Solarize Westchester and the Westchester Power community choice aggregation.

Solar installations have jumped from about 100 in 2010 to more than 1,200 last year, according to Astorino. Programs such as Solarize Westchester have helped in that effort by offering residents and small businesses in participating municipalities discounted solar panels and installation.

About 400 homeowners and commercial property owners installed solar panels through the program during campaigns in 16 different municipalities last year. Solarize launched its second round in the county earlier this year for residents and small businesses in Peekskill, Greenburgh, Pound Ridge and Lewisboro.

Including the county as a municipality, Sustainable Westchester now has 42 municipalities total in its consortium. The group was formed in 2014, when the Northern Westchester Energy Action Consortium and the Southern Westchester Energy Action Consortium joined forces to create a countywide nonprofit.

NJ contractor sues Rockland County for $1.2M

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

New Jersey construction company has sued Rockland County for nearly $1.2 million claiming that the government improperly withheld payments for a flood control project.

Metra Industries Inc. of Little Falls was hired in 2013 to build the Pascack Brook Bypass Culvert in Spring Valley to alleviate flood problems for more than 80 homeowners The company claims in a lawsuit filed on May 11 in federal court in White Plains that Rockland arbitrarily withheld 5 percent from each payment as the project progressed. The “retainage” totaled $426,742, Metra states, and was not allowed under state Department of Transportation rules.

Metra states it finished the work in October 2015. During 23 months on the project, it claims, it repeatedly objected to the five percent retainage and the county did not assert any claims.

Now Rockland is justifying the practice to protect itself from liens filed by two subcontractors that were not paid: B&B Concrete Enterprises, $32,498, and Anchor Fence, $10,879.

The lawsuit states that the subcontractor claims are byproducts of the county’s withholding payments from Metra, and Metra had protected the county by taking out performance and payments bonds.

The lawsuit also states the county is improperly claiming $93,427 for inspections.

Metra states the county repeatedly required it to do extra work — such as building a bridge at Union Road and repairing

leaky water pipes — but denied all requests to extend the project deadline.

Metra states Rockland owes $1,170,374 for withholding payments, extra work and damages caused by delays and disruptions to do the extra work.

The lawsuit does not say how much the original contract was worth, but a 2014 news story put the price tag at $10 million.

Metra states it tried to resolve the dispute in a November meeting, but the Rockland County Drainage Authority, acting on behalf of the county, has refused to close out the contract or pay the balance of the contract.

County Executive Ed Day cannot comment on the allegations, a spokeswoman said, because it is county policy not to comment on pending litigation.

The company is suing for breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Who’s right for sales?

We have an employee who we think, perhaps, is the wrong fit in sales — or is it too early to tell? Should salespeople have more experience? (Fortunately he’s doing well in account management.) What should we be looking for in a salesperson?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Should you hire for experience or train from the bottom up?

When it comes to sales positions, there is no one size fits all. Account management can be a great starting position for people who want to go into sales. Does your candidate want to go into sales?

It can be expensive to hire a “pro.” And then there’s the risk that they don’t work out.

Training an internal candidate can be a way to save money, but only if the candidate ends up producing. Stack the deck in your favor by focusing on people most likely to succeed.

Many business owners, when they think about adding salespeople, are not clear which skills to add: more leads, more qualified opportunities, better-quality buyers, more robust solutions, better proposals, higher closing rate? That’s the gamut from opening the door with suspects, to getting a sale done.

“More leads” means cold-calling, searching on LinkedIn, networking, record keeping and following up, pushing doors open. Ever seen your account manager do any of that well, with a passion?

Developing “more qualified opportunities” and “better quality buyers” means your salesperson must be critically assessing the people to whom he or she is talking.

It’s not about making friends; it’s about getting rid of the suspects who don’t match the criteria of your best clients. It means asking sharp questions and shutting out bad prospects.

“More robust solutions” and “better proposals” come from gathering lots of information and taking good notes. At this stage your salesperson has to dig deep with qualified prospects to find out what they really need, testing out possible solutions even if it’s something your company doesn’t

already do, but could. That means curiosity and inventiveness, with discipline not to stray too far afield.

“Higher closing rate” means a hunter mentality. Once the proposal is put together, confirming everything that’s been learned and agreed to, the salesperson has to have the guts and drive to wrestle the prospect to a final decision. That doesn’t just happen at the end of the sale. Closing starts at the very beginning of an engagement. Ever seen your salesperson take charge and control the outcome?

Getting someone started in sales by taking the account management route can be a smart way to go. The candidate learns about how the company delivers what it sells and builds relationships with successful clients. Clients who value an account manager’s contribution are likely to provide great references when asked. And knowing what the success stories are, how other clients had their needs met, can give future salespeople good ideas to apply in future selling situations.

What drives some people to succeed is poison for others. One of the most important parts of picking salespeople is taking a hard look at what motivates them, what

drives them to get ahead. Are they competitive? Do they want the independence that goes with sales and do they have the discipline to manage that independence successfully?

What about willingness to put in extra hours if needed, or is your candidate out the door at the stroke of 5 p.m.? Money motivated, or willing to settle for a 40-hourweek paycheck? Internally driven or waiting for someone else to provide motivation and direction? The former will likely do what must be done to get ahead, the latter in each example may well fall short of the sales goals you set.

ANTHONY SCARPINO

ANTHONY A. SCARPINO JR., Westchester County’s District Attorney, has dedicated his entire career to protecting our community through the fair and ethical pursuit of justice. His 37 years experience as a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and as a judge in the Westchester County region for 30 years have uniquely prepared him to be Westchester’s chief law enforcement officer. Scarpino oversees a staff of 118 assistant district attorneys, 34 criminal investigators and 85 support-staff personnel. The grandson of Italian immigrants, Scarpino was born and raised in the city of Mount Vernon where he attended public schools. After graduating from the University of Connecticut and earning his Juris Doctorate from Syracuse University College of Law, Scarpino began his career in public service as assistant corporation counsel for Mount Vernon. In 1977, he left local government and joined the FBI as a special agent, returning to Mount Vernon in 1984 after having been appointed acting City Court judge. He was elected to that seat a year

later and rose to senior city court judge. In 1988, Scarpino was elected Westchester County Court judge. In 1993, he was elected to the New York State Supreme Court for the Ninth Judicial District, and in 2000 he was elected Westchester County Surrogate and re-elected in 2010. In 2015, after 30 years as a judge, Scarpino stepped down to join the DelBello, Donnellan, Weingarten, Wise & Wiederkehr LLP law firm. Formerly he served as an adjunct professor at the Pace University School of Law in White Plains and Iona College in New Rochelle, sharing his experience and knowledge of criminal law and procedure and evidence with a new generation of students. He also served on the Office of Court Administration’s Advisory Committee on Criminal Law and Procedures as well as serving as co-chair of the Ninth Judicial District’s Pro Bono Committee. Scarpino was recognized by the Westchester Women’s Bar Association with a “Justice for All” award in 2007 and again in 2015 with the “Access to Justice” award from Legal Services of the Hudson Valley.

GOOD THINGS From left: Sunny Hostin, Christopher J. Farley, Amy Bass and Chris Selin, president of the New Rochelle Library Foundation.

NOTHING FAKE AT NEW ROCHELLE NEWS PANEL Against the background of the Trump administration labeling news reports that it doesn’t like as “fake news” and using “alternative facts” to justify decisions, the New Rochelle Library Foundation presented a panel discussion titled “Media Literacy in the Era of Alternative Facts.”

This was the fourth in foundation’s “Cocktails and Conversations” series. About 60 people gathered at Alvin & Friends Restaurant in New Rochelle. Featured on the panel were Sunny Hostin, senior legal correspondent for ABC News and co-host of ABC’s morning talk show “The View,” and Christopher J. Farley, The Wall Street Journal’s senior editorial director, digital features.

The panel discussion was moderated by Amy Bass, a professor at The College of New Rochelle and director of the school’s honors program.

The participants emphasized the need for consumers to know who’s behind the news they’re receiving and understand the difference between journalists and opinionated commentators. Farley suggested that the most reliable sources are those that run corrections, since the job of journalists is to report the facts and that media sources that never run corrections are less trustworthy. Hostin talked about the importance of teaching children to be critical thinkers, which includes how to view, listen to and read the news, then apply it to shaping their worldview and beliefs.

government at 52 universities around the country. The Westchester program involves 320 hours of training. Trainees include graduate students and post-doctoral fellows from health and education disciplines, self-advocates and family members of children and adults with disabilities.

WIHD, located in Valhalla, operates an outpatient health center that offers medical, dental, speech and hearing and behavioral services for individuals with developmental disabilities.

REALTORS GIVE $2,500 TO MARIA FARERI The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation (HGRF), the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, recently presented a $2,500 donation to the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.

Representatives of HGRF who participated in the check presentation were Kerry Fedigan, Bonnie Koff, Harding Mason and Mary Prenon, the association’s director of communications.

In 2016, the foundation donated more than $55,000 to 17 nonprofit organizations throughout the lower Hudson Valley.

LIONS RETURN TO FARMERS MARKET The Larchmont & Mamaroneck Lions plan to be back at the Larchmont Farmers Market on June 10 to continue their “previously read” book sale, this time benefitting Guiding Eyes for the Blind.

On May 20, the Lions conducted a book sale to raise funds to help the Girl Scouts make their local headquarters handicapped accessible. The sale itself raised $500, which was matched with an additional $500 by the Lions.

Carol Spawn Desmond, a director of the Larchmont Lions, suggested the book sale.

Jag Rao, membership chairman of the Larchmont Lions and his wife Peggy, along with Melissa Keenan and Sheelah Mohan, staffed the book sale tent.

I FEEL SO POWERLESS. WE HAVE TO WATCH HER EVERY MINUTE. FAMILY AND FRIENDS STOPPED COMING AROUND. HE KEEPS SAYING: “THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.” IT’S DESTROYING OUR FAMILY. I FEEL SO GUILTY WE HAVE TO MOVE HER INTO A HOME. IT’S SO HARD TO CARE FOR SOMEONE WHO’S MEAN TO YOU. HE HIDES THINGS ALL THE TIME. I’M GRIEVING THE LOSS OF SOMEONE WHO’S STILL ALIVE. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.

LIVING WITH FTD IS HARD. LIVING WITHOUT HELP IS HARDER. THERE’S COMFORT IN FINDING OTHERS WHO UNDERSTAND. WE FINALLY FOUND A DOCTOR WHO GETS IT. I GOT SO MUCH ADVICE FROM OTHER CAREGIVERS. UNDERSTANDING MORE HELPS ME DEAL WITH HER SYMPTOMS. SEEING THAT OTHERS MADE IT THROUGH, I KNEW I COULD TOO. WE HONOR HIM BY ADVOCATING FOR A CURE. NOW I’M BETTER AT ASKING FOR HELP. NO MATTER HOW BAD IT GETS, WE KNOW WE’RE NOT ALONE. It can feel so isolating and confusing from the start: Just getting a diagnosis of FTD takes 3.6 years on average. But no family facing FTD should ever have to face it alone, and with your help, we’re working to make sure that no one does.

The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) is dedicated to a world without FTD, and to providing help and support for those living with this disease today. Choose to bring hope to our families: www.theAFTD.org/learnmore
