Ossining residents raise money for downtown development

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

The city already sells operators what it calls taxi “medallions,” but the existing licenses are medallions in name only. They are annual permits that sell for $145 and last 12 months. The new system would sell metal pendants to display in cabs that could then be resold by taxi operators. The city

group of Ossining residents has launched a community investment fund and commercial development initiative that its founders see as a pioneering model in Westchester County for sparking downtown revitalization and private investment in Main Street business districts.

Started in March, Grow Ossining recently reached its initial goal to raise $10,000 in seed money to cover startup costs for the enterprise by seeking $100 contributions from 100 Ossining residents. Attorney Wayne Spector, who co-founded Grow Ossining with another longtime Ossining resident, Dennis Kirby, said a little more than $11,000 was raised in the brief startup campaign.

“Even though it’s a small amount, it indicates that people are interested in and embrace the initiative,” Spector said. The founding members will use some of the funds to structure Grow Ossining as a limited partnership and to prepare a business plan, legal prospectus and an offering plan for investors.

Spector is a partner at Cohn & Spector Esqs. in White Plains and attorney for the town of Ossining. Kirby is a former facilities and planning manager at PepsiCo Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. and a member of the town of Ossining planning board, on which Spector served for 15 years. Their focus at Grow Ossining is the village’s Main Street business district, which they said has lagged behind those in nearby communities on the Hudson River and Long Island Sound, such as Peekskill and Port Chester, that have reanimated their downtowns as retail, dining and entertainment destinations.

a novel implant gives Somers man a renewed look at life

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

oseph Vellone didn’t like what end-stage age-related macular degeneration had done to deprive him not only of good vision but of the good things in life. Yet it seemed he would have to live with those losses as one of 15 million Americans progressively disabled by that eye disease. Vellone had lived with the mounting impairments for about 10 years.

There were the photos of his greatgrandchildren whose faces he could not see.

There were the neighbors in Somers whom he walked by without saying hello because the blind spots in his central vision kept him from recognizing them. A football fan, the 76-year-old retired business owner could no longer watch his beloved New York Jets on television.

“Football is his favorite thing to watch,” said his wife and designated driver, Ida Vellone, on the patio of their home in Somers, “but he couldn’t follow the ball.”

He could no longer drive a car. “That was really hard to take,” said Vellone, the former owner of A to Z Roofing and Waterproofing in Mount Vernon. “It’s like you lost your freedom.”

“Sometimes we’d be driving and I’d think, God, I’d give anything to be able to see. I’d pay anything.”

The injections given by his eye specialist in Mount Kisco did not help as the disease progressed. “I told her, ‘If you ever come up with something that can help me, please let me know,’” said Vellone.

Last year, that help arrived in Westchester County in the form of a pea-sized telescope.

Invented by an Israeli engineer and developed and marketed by VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies in Saratoga, Calif., the innovative device was approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration about three years ago. Implanted in a patient’s eye, the telescope magnifies objects normally seen in one’s straight-ahead vision and projects images onto the healthy retina in the back of the eye.

On Dec. 26, Dr. Gerald Zaidman, a surgeon with an international reputation for his

work in pediatric corneal transplants and director of the ophthalmology department at Westchester Medical Center, implanted the telescope in Vellone’s left eye in an outpatient procedure of less than one hour. To Vellone, the surgeon gave a gift of partial vision that continues to improve with time and visual therapy.

“Dr. Zaidman has told us there could be change in his eye up to two years after the procedure,” said Ida Vellone. “Every time they take out a stitch” from the implant, “his vision improves.”

Zaidman said Vellone has shown “spectacular improvement” since the surgery. He is one of three patients with irreversible macular degeneration to receive the implants in Valhalla.

“There’s not a lot of eye doctors who have been trained in the procedure,” Zaidman said. He is one of only two doctors in New York who perform the procedure, and two other physicians in the state are being cre-

dentialed to do the implants, he said. About 100 ophthalmologists nationwide have been trained in the procedure. No doctors in Connecticut currently provide the treatment, which follows a series of medical and vision evaluations of prospective patients required in VisionCare’s rigorous CentraSight treatment program.

For Vellone, that process started last July, three months after his eye specialist told him about the novel implant surgery started at Westchester Medical Center. “It just seemed to take an awful long time,” his wife said.

The CentraSight program is offered

only to patients at least 75 years old, though Zaidman said the company is considering lowering the cutoff age to 65 or 70. Vellone turned 75 last year, a birthday the retiree might have welcomed more than most as it qualified him for the new program. Vellone also never had cataract surgery and had been off drug injections for the disease for more than six months, both of which are required for implant candidates, Zaidman said.

“My feeling was that I can’t see very much out of this eye anyway,” said Vellone, “so what have I got to lose?”

Zaidman said the treatment requires a long period of visual rehabilitation both before and after surgery. “I like to tell the patients that this is kind of the same thing as if you have an artificial hip or an artificial knee,” he said. “That’s a very difficult concept for some because a lot of patients have very high, unrealistic expectations” of having their vision and abilities fully restored.

“You’re not going to be catching passes for the New York Jets and you’re not going to be driving your car,” Zaidman said.

For Vellone, watching the pros catch passes is good enough. In Florida after his surgery, he watched the Super Bowl in a large, crowded room with his new telescopic aid. “I sat in the back, but I felt that I had the best seat in the house,” he said.

“I think the best part of this implant is that he’s able to watch football,” said Ida Vellone. “I think that makes a big difference.”

The Vellones said their $63,000 bill from Westchester Medical Center for the surgery was covered by Medicare.

Zaidman noted the telescopic lens implant alone costs $15,000 to $20,000.

With Medicare coverage, “Nobody should be denied the procedure for financial reasons,” he said.

another westchester hospital looks to long island for partner

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

N

orthern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco has followed three other community hospitals formerly in Westchester’s Stellaris Health Network in pursuing a merger this year with a larger metropolitan health care system.

Trustees of the 1,500-employee, 235bed hospital unanimously approved a letter of intent to explore joining the North Shore-LIJ Health System, officials at the two hospitals recently announced. Northern Westchester Hospital and North Shore-LIJ, the state’s largest private employer and its largest integrated health care provider, will begin exclusive negotiations and the due diligence process with a goal of signing a final agreement later this year, hospital officials said.

In the last month, North Shore-LIJ Health System, based in Great Neck, has emerged as a new force in Westchester’s health care industry as it expands its patient service reach from Long Island into the lower Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut.

North Shore and Phelps Memorial Hospital officials in Sleepy Hollow in May announced their intent to begin negotiations to bring

Phelps into the North Shore-LIJ system, which includes 17 hospitals and more than 400 outpatient physician practices on Long Island and in New York City. They expect to reach a final agreement by late summer.

Phelps Memorial and Northern Westchester are among four former affiliate hospitals of the Stellaris Health Network that have sought new, well-financed parent companies since leaving Stellaris last year.

Another former Stellaris affiliate, White Plains Hospital, expects to seal an agreement this summer to join the Montefiore Health System. Montefiore, based in the Bronx at its academic medical center, last year purchased in a bankruptcy proceeding and took over the operation of two former Sound Shore Health System hospitals in New Rochelle and Mount Vernon.

Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, another former Stellaris affiliate, received state approval this year of its pending takeover

by New York-Presbyterian Hospital, a deal expected to close this summer.

Robert Spolzino, board chairman of Northern Westchester Hospital, in the announcement said trustees “decided that we needed an innovative partner who could provide us with the scale and resources to capitalize on the monumental changes cur-

rently underway in the health care industry.

As one of the nation’s largest health systems, North Shore-LIJ recognizes the important role that regional hospitals have in delivering exceptional care for their local communities.”

Northern Westchester Hospital president and CEO Joel Seligman said hospital officials think North Shore-LIJ is “the right partner” to accomplish the community hospital’s aim to further develop its medical expertise and technology while achieving greater operating efficiencies and reducing costs.

North Shore-LIJ president and CEO Michael J. Dowling in the announcement said the Mount Kisco hospital has been a state leader in “delivering care that is high-quality, technologically advanced and cost-effective.

As a teaching hospital for patient-centered care, Northern Westchester has consistently ranked among the top five hospitals in New York state and number one in the Hudson Valley for patient satisfaction. We are excited to be taking this first step toward becoming partners and we look forward to working closely with the hospital’s leadership team to build upon these strengths and further define our strategy for serving communities throughout the Hudson Valley.”

As it would, too, with Phelps Memorial

in Sleepy Hollow, North Shore-LIJ in Mount Kisco would become parent company of an institution in better financial health than many community hospitals in New York. According to its most recent published financial report, Northern Westchester Hospital ended 2012 approximately $7.4 million in the black. That positive revenue balance after expenses was down from approximately $12.7 million in 2011.

The 48,000-employee North Shore-LIJ Health System reported total operating revenue in 2013 of just more than $7 billion.

It ended last year with nearly $84 million in excess revenue over expenses. That was down from approximately $97.9 million in excess revenue over expenses in 2011.

The health system last year launched the North Shore-LIJ CareConnect Insurance Co. Inc., creating the first provider-owned health insurer in New York. The company last fall began marketing a range of commercial insurance plans on and off the new state health benefit exchange to individuals, families and small businesses in Long Island, Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan. Within six months, the startup company had 10,000 people enrolled, according to North Shore-LIJ officials.

The Big House as museum Sing Sing eyed for tourists

BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

P

roponents of a new museum about New York’s most infamous prison are raising funds to revise a study of the feasibility of building the museum inside the walls of Sing Sing Correctional Facility.

The Friends of the Sing Sing Historic Prison Museum were scheduled to hold a fundraiser June 13, after press time. The group hopes to eventually build a museum inside the prison in what used to be a power house and a portion of one of the original cellblocks.

“What we’re looking to do is revise the economic feasibility study,” said Ossining Mayor Bill Hanauer. “We’re looking for private funding and a grant from the state to revise the study.”

The history of the prison spans nearly 200 years. Purchased by New York state in 1825 for $20,100, the 135-acre site has been a working prison since the first 100 inmates arrived from Auburn Prison in May of that year. When the prisoners arrived, there was no prison to speak of – they built the walls of their own confinement after quarrying the building stones on site.

With 800 cells on four tiers, the original prison took nearly three years to build.

When it was finished, Sign Sing’s prisoners continued to quarry marble. Stone quarried at Sing Sing was used to construct, among other buildings, the New York State Capitol Building in Albany and Grace Church in Manhattan.

The original cellblock was closed in 1940 and in 1943 the bars were stripped from the building and donated to the war effort. A 1984 fire destroyed the roof, leaving the cellblock in its current state.

Over the years, Sing Sing has housed

some of New York’s most notorious prisoners, including Albert Fish, Ruth Brown Snyder, Gary Evans and Eddie Lee Mays, all convicted of murder. David Berkowitz did time at Sing Sing immediately following his sentencing for the “Son of Sam” murders.

But Sing Sing is perhaps best known as the home of “Old Sparky,” the electric chair that was used in the execution of 614 convicts in the prison’s death house. Among those whose death sentences were carried out at the prison were Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the spies who transmitted secret atomic bomb

information to the Soviet Union.

Building the museum inside the prison isn’t a new idea.

“I think it started back in the 14th century,” Hanauer said. The mayor has been involved in the effort since 2005. “(Former Westchester County Executive) Andy Spano reignited the effort, which goes back a long way, well into the 1990s, I believe.”

Currently, there is a small exhibit about the history of Sing Sing at the Joseph G. Caputo Community Center at 95 Broadway in Ossining. But the group behind the effort to build the museum at the prison itself thinks that doing so could be a boon to tourism.

“Visitation to the museum could easily surpass 200,000 people per year and contribute significantly to the regional economy,” said Jerry Faiella, executive director of Historic Hudson River Towns, in a press release. “We see this project as a national and international attraction that will have a major beneficial impact on our member communities, Westchester County and the entire Hudson Valley.”

According to Hanauer, once the studies are revised, the museum could begin to see major funding for construction.

Taxi ­— could set a fixed price for the new medallions but is more likely to auction the medallions at a starting price of $10,000 each.

City Councilman Al Tarantino, a Republican, compared buying a medallion to a long-term investment. “You’re creating an asset for the holder of that medallion that could either be passed down to their children or sold at a profit,” he said.

New Rochelle has 150 licensed taxis this year, but Mayor Noam Bramson said in shifting to a medallion system the city would offer only 130 licenses. He said there was a level of guesswork about appropriately pricing the medallions based on the net income of a city cab, which is estimated in a broad range from $10,000 to $40,000 per vehicle.

Bramson, a Democrat, said he has spoken with taxi operators about the medallion system and concluded there was sure to be disruption among the existing cab companies in the city.

“There is no single position from taxi owners and operators,” he said. “Probably would make it easier if there were. … In the end, we’re going to have to take all of that input and then make the best judgments we can about public interest.”

Bramson said much of the feedback from taxi companies and operators has led him to think there may be too many cabs in New Rochelle. Changing the licensing system would create a spike in revenue but could also improve service citywide by increasing the demand for licensing. The question is if there is a market to pay $10,000 or more to operate a cab in New Rochelle.

Many cities in the country use the medallion system, with New York City medallions becoming so coveted that recent medallions have sold for as much as $1 million. The city has a designated Taxi and Limousine Commission that closely regulates the industry in the five boroughs.

Westchester County has a Taxi and Limousine Commission that focuses on “for-hire” vehicles but not traditional taxis.

Regulation of the industry and enforcement of standards is therefore left to the 45 cities,

towns and villages within the county – many of which have differing standards, licensing rules and varying levels of commitment to enforcement As a result, there is little data to determine the total amount of taxis in operation throughout the county, much less what to charge them for a license. White Plains charges $25,000 for its licenses and has a wait list of about 400 potential operators. To Bramson, that means White Plains may be under-pricing its medallions.

The only way to truly understand the market for operating a cab in New Rochelle may be putting the medallions out to bid and seeing how many cab companies react.

There is concern that overpricing the medallions may price out smaller companies and independent taxi operators in New Rochelle.

Among debate points as the city drafts a change to its policy will be whether to limit the amount of medallions one company can purchase.

Councilwoman Shari Rackman, a Democrat, said she feared an auction system could create a monopoly among the largest taxi operators in the city.

“Someone from the outside really could just walk in and really change the whole taxi system of the city,” she said.

The City Council, which discussed the proposal publicly for the first time in May, is in the early stages of a debate over the limits and other details of the new system: Should the medallions be auctioned or sold at a fixed price? If they are bid upon, should the city conduct the auction or hire an outside auctioneer?

Chuck Strome, the appointed city manager, said the city had never conducted an auction in its history. He wasn’t sure New Rochelle had the administrative capacity to handle the bidding. “It is a note of concern for me,” he told the council at its May 27 meeting.

The city’s largest taxi operators are Express City Taxi and Union Taxi, each with 31 car licenses, and Blue Bird Taxi Servicing Corp., which has 28. There are eight companies doing business in the city in total, along with four independent operators. Calls to companies and operators seeking comment were not returned by press time.

ing in. This could trigger an incredible renaissance for Ossining, given all its wonderful features.”

Kirby said his personal interest in forming Grow Ossining was spurred by his reading last year of a book by journalist Amy Cortese, “Locavesting: The Revolution in Local Investing and How to Profit From It.” “As an investor, I have money in the stock market and some 401(k)s and retirement funds,” he said.

“And it always bothered me that you could

not invest any of your funds into local industries.” Cortese’s book showed ways to do that and case studies in local business investing around the country.

“I think this would be pioneering for Westchester County,” Spector said of Grow Ossining’s enterprise. “You don’t see anything like this in Westchester County.”

“I think this could be a tremendous example for other communities that are working to revitalize their downtown, create a buzz in their downtown,” he said.

Main Street — ­ From page 1

“People kept saying, ‘Why can’t Ossining be like Nyack? Why can’t Ossining be like Tarrytown?’” Spector said.

“We always felt this was a great community. What it lacked was a central core of business – if it could ever ignite itself.

“I think there’s been a psychological barrier in some ways that has to be crashed in order for Ossining to take off,” he said.

In the group’s second investment phase expected to start later this year, the founders are aiming to reach a funding threshold of $1.25 million to $1.5 million, which Grow Ossining will use either to buy land for commercial construction or to redevelop an existing property. The community group plans to open a social destination such as a bar, restaurant, marketplace, gallery or live entertainment venue to draw local residents and visitors to downtown Ossining and catalyze more development there.

“Every option is on the table,” Spector said of the group’s potential business endeavor. Grow Ossining, though, likely will not directly operate the funded business. “We’re not going to run a restaurant,” said Spector, citing an example. The group instead could form a joint venture with a

leading restaurateur, he said.

Kirby said the group ultimately aims to raise $2.5 million from investors. If 600 to 800 families invest in the community fund, “They’re all going to have skin in the game,” he said.

Spector said the group wants to attract a broad range of investors and will set minimum and maximum limits on investments. “There will be a maximum because we don’t want any small group of individuals to take control,” he said.

Kirby said the investment offering will be extended only to New York residents to avoid U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory filings required for interstate investments.

“We feel we should be ready by either late fall or the end of the year to accept investments or pledges,” he said.

The founder said Grow Ossining has a core steering committee of 10 to 12 residents of the greater Ossining community who have professional expertise and personal experience in finance, law, architecture, construction, marketing, real estate, fundraising, community action, property management, restaurant operation and interior design.

“We feel if we bring the community in” as commercial investors, Spector said, “it’s going to open up eyes in the business world to Ossining. People are going to realize this is a community worth invest-

loCal MiniMuM waGe ConTrol puSHed

State Senate Democrats want to give New York’s more expensive municipalities like Westchester County the power to raise the local minimum wage without needing approval from the state Legislature.

Buoyed by renewed support from Gov. andrew Cuomo, Democrats are also reloading in their push to increase the state minimum wage from its current $8-per-hour level. The wage will increase to $8.75 in December 2014 and to $9 in December 2015 without any further legislative action, but the governor has said he wants to see the state minimum upped to $10.10 per hour.

In a bill introduced by Sen. andrea stewart-Cousins, the Democratic Conference leader, the state would allow local municipalities with high costs of living to decide to increase their minimum by as much as 30 percent above the state wage.

“Minimum wage earning New Yorkers, despite their hard work and often having more than one job, continue to struggle to make ends meet,” Stewart-Cousins, whose district includes parts of Yonkers, said.

New York is a state that doesn’t allow its communities to set their own minimum wage, a prohibition Cuomo had previously agreed with. The governor said he’d support the effort to give that power to municipalities based on the demands of members of the Working Families Party, a pro-union political party that decided to back Cuomo for re-election so long as he agreed to support several liberal legislative initiatives.

Since the announcement of the new bill, New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-viverito said she was in favor of increasing the city’s minimum wage to $15, in line with Seattle, which recently became the first city in the country to reach that threshold.

The state minimum wage increased last year by 10 percent, with the Senate under the control of a coalition of Republicans and five breakaway Democrats. The Democratic Conference in a report released June 2 said that move did not go far enough because it didn’t tie increases to inflation and the purchasing power of minimum wage was plummeting in higher-cost areas of the state, such as New York City.

New York Medical College in Valhalla has formed a new academic affiliation with Saint Michael’s Medical Center in

Newark, N.J., for its undergraduate and graduate medical students, school officials announced June 9.

The agreement adds a clinical venue in New Jersey’s Essex County to the 154-yearold health sciences university in Westchester, expanding its residency options for medical students and giving access to a large group of experienced physicians in a range of specialties.

Dr. edward C. halperin, chancellor and CEO of New York Medical College, in the announcement said the partnership, “based upon shared values, will benefit patients, promote a pipeline of new doctors and other health care providers to serve Newark and the surrounding cities, and contribute to the generation of new knowledge about the causes, prevention and treatment of human disease and disability. Both institutions share a commitment to providing students with strong clinical education programs, research opportunities and extensive resources.”

David a. ricci, president and CEO at Saint Michael’s Medical Center, said the part-

nership will allow the 147-year-old teaching hospital to add an undergraduate program to its medical education offerings for students in the metropolitan area.

Consolidated Edison Inc. will purchase a demand response management system from French multinational corporation Alstom.

The system will enable Con Edison to streamline its business processes and efficiently manage and optimize its demand response portfolio, according to an Alstom press release.

Alstom said the management system will enable Con Edison to better use consumer loads to manage energy supply and demand,

with incentives provided to electricity customers to reduce consumption during periods of peak demand.

Con Edison, which offers electric service to 3.3 million customers in New York City and Westchester County, serves its customers through 94,000 miles of underground electric cables and 34,000 miles of overhead wires.

A certified public accountant, Walter most recently was chief financial officer of BCB Community Bank and BCB Bancorp Inc. in Bayonne, N.J. He previously held senior management positions with New Jersey’s Pamrapo Bancorp Inc., including serving as interim president and CEO and

as CFO for nine years.

Walter in a press release said The Westchester Bank has “a sound growth strategy in place and an important part of my role is to continue to build the financial controls consistent with the bank’s accelerated growth.”

Westchester County, SPI scrap Playland plan

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

W

estchester County Executive Rob Astorino on June 11 announced he had nixed an agreement with the nonprofit that would have taken over day-to-day management of Playland park in Rye. Sustainable Playland Inc., a Rye-based nonprofit, has withdrawn its improvement plan, which included a much-debated proposal to build an 82,500-square-foot facility that would have housed year-round athletic fields. The group will continue to work with the county on Playland as a fundraising and advocacy entity.

Astorino said his administration had hired consultant Dan Biederman to conduct a review of the amusement park’s operations, analyze income and revenue, and present recommendations to Westchester this fall. The county, which owns the 280-acre park, will manage Playland for the remainder of the year. Astorino, a Republican, said he was still committed to the goal of transforming the seasonal park into a year-round destination.

“The math is simple,” he said. “More days and more activities mean more dollars to defray costs to taxpayers and invest in preserving the traditions of Playland.”

Astorino chose SPI in 2012 out of several groups that offered proposals to reinvent Playland, which has struggled with declining attendance, deteriorating art deco infrastructure and operating losses (it lost $4.3 million last year, the administration said). At first the group sought to significantly downsize the amusement park area and replace it with a more passive function, but amended its plan to leave the size of the amusement park nearly intact.

SPI has faced heated scrutiny ever since – with push-back from the community criticizing the field house plan and questioning the group’s financials and ability to manage the park without any prior experience. The city of Rye asserted its zoning authority over any proposed construction at the park, setting the stage for a dispute over jurisdiction between Westchester and the city and forcing SPI to brace for the possibility of a lawsuit or lawsuits.

In recent weeks, it became clear the plan wouldn’t receive a majority of support from county legislators if it came to a vote. County Board of Legislators Chairman Michael Kaplowitz, a Democrat, said SPI’s plan wasn’t “detailed and comprehensive” enough support. Legislator

Catherine Parker, a Democrat, originally supported the plan but eventually reversed course. She said she hoped Biederman’s firm didn’t resurrect the notion of the field house, which she called “a non-starter.”

“I want to believe that this new turn of events will not end up prolonging the uncertainty over how to revitalize Playland, but each day that passes without a good plan in place diminishes the possibility of a fresh start at Playland for 2015,” she said.

Legislator Peter Harckham, a Democrat who chairs the county board’s parks committee, called the withdrawal of the plan a setback to revitalizing the 80-year-old amusement park. He said “the amusement park must remain the focal point; the impacts to the environment and the neighboring community must be thoroughly vetted and the numbers need to add up and be realistic.”

Deirdre Curran, a Port Chester resident and member of the group Save Playland, said she considered the withdrawal a “pseudo victory” but feared the new analysis of the park could once again threaten the amusement area.

“We would greatly prefer to see SPI no longer have any involvement whatsoever and hope that while weighing his observations Mr. Biederman understands that he will not be accepted as any type of Trojan Horse cover for SPI to stay involved behind the scenes,” she said.

Curran said she would have preferred the county instead sign a deal to hand over management of the park either to Central Amusements or Standard Amusements, two groups that issued proposals to take over the park but were passed over in favor of SPI. Both of those groups have amusement park management experience.

SPI will now serve as chief private fundraiser for Playland and will work to safeguard the historic nature of the park, the administration said. The group’s president, Kim Morque, said in a statement, “While SPI’s role is evolving, its vision and commitment has not changed.”

The county executive also announced that his administration had reached a 10-year contract with American Skating Entertainment Centers to run the Playland Ice Casino. The company will pay $300,000 in its first year, $250,000 the second year and see 2 percent increases each year after. It will also make $640,000 in capital improvements that will be in addition to the $4.5 million the county spent to reopen the rink after it was closed due to Hurricane Sandy-related damages.

federal appeals court refused to delay the rollout of a new pricing plan expected to increase Hudson Valley electric bills by as much as 14 percent.

Despite the decision, opponents are holding out hope they can convince the court to ultimately dismantle the plan.

A U.S. Court of Appeals panel ruled June 4 that it wouldn’t grant a stay of a regional electric capacity zone that went into effect May 1. Under the zone, power-generating companies such as Entergy Corp., the owner of Indian Point, can charge more to distributors within the zone like Con Edison.

from suppliers within the zone, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, is hoping to spur construction of new power plants in the region.

The appeals court’s decision not to grant a temporary stay on the implementation of the plan is not directly related to the merits of the case seeking to permanently stop the zone.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, a Putnam County Democrat, called the FERC capacity zone a “reckless decision.”

“Every step of the way, I’ve been shocked by these Washington bureaucrats’ complete and utter disregard for hardworking families and businesses in the Hudson Valley – FERC’s plan to raise rates defies all common sense,” he said.

Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. and New York’s Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in the state, launched the court action against the capacity zone.

PSC Chairwoman Audrey Zibelman said although the plan looked to spur long-term infrastructure investment, “in the short term, this is beneficial only to existing generators in the region at the expense of consumers who pay while receiving no benefit.”

There are widely varying estimates on how much the capacity zone will affect local electricity bills, depending on the area and the power distribution company. Most estimate that residential bills will increase by 6 percent and industrial rates will increase by 10 percent, but the PSC and others estimates some bills can increase by as much as 14 percent or more.

Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said the increase would impose on residents who are already facing financial burdens as a result of the economic downturn of recent years.

“Simply stated, Orange County is Main Street and not Wall Street,” he said. “Our residents have not enjoyed a positive financial change over the past seven years.”

Critics have said a better option than the zone plan would be to improve transmitter technology to distribute surplus energy from upstate suppliers to higher-demand regions downstate.

Dutchess and Orange counties have filed affidavits in support of the legal effort to stop or alter the capacity zone, which was initially proposed by the New York Independent System Operator. Orange County in a news release said it expected residents in that county would be paying an additional $10 per electricity bill due to the capacity zone.

The new capacity zone is the fourth in the state. It affects ratepayers that are customers of Central Hudson, Con Edison, Goshen-based New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and the Orange and Rockland power company.

Getting prepared to handle a surge in sales

Creating a successful event demands the very best.

by andi gray

Thoughts of the day: It is sales’ responsibility to make the right sale, not just any sale, in order to boost margin, ease production stresses and ensure timely cash flow. It’s always good to have more opportunity than you think you can handle. The big question is what’s going to turn into business and what isn’t?

When markets are scaling up is when a company is likely to face its biggest sales risks. Cash flow is likely to dry up as the company boosts production in advance of collecting payments for new sales yet to be delivered. Switching emphasis from one product or service to another can be risky: The company has to have the right materials and workforce in place in order to deliver. Costly mistakes can result when switching production.

Big-volume customers may negotiate for discounts that the company can’t afford to hand out.

The company needs to be fully prepared for a surge in sales. That includes getting the mix of business right and making the best use of resources the company has on hand. It means having a plan the company can afford to implement to get additional production resources in place.

Reserve funds are needed to get through the upsurge as the company waits to receive payments for goods and services received. That demand often comes as the company recovers from a low-income cycle that drained reserves.

One recent survey noted a gap when assessing confidence in the sales forecast. Sales, corporate management and marketing tended to believe in the sales forecast. Operations and finance tended to be skeptical. All agreed that a more accurate picture would increase revenue and profits.

It’s not enough to just forecast revenue. Sales has to become more accurate at forecasting what type of revenue. Sales also has to do a better job of predicting when risks to achieving a specific forecast

are likely. Operations depends on accurate sales forecasts to buy the products it needs and hire the staff required. Last-minute shifts from one type of sale to another can disrupt production and result in lower profit if parts are not used or skilled labor is in place for the wrong product or service. Finance needs time to line up reserve funds – it can take weeks or months to get an additional credit facility in place.

Sales has to develop discipline around the opportunities it’s going after. Most salespeople understand they’re not going to close everything they bid on. What many sales people don’t get is the company may do better by walking away from some opportunities, even if they seem easier to close.

A good sales team will talk to hundreds of prospects, focus on those that want what the company can deliver and know what to walk away from because it will be problematic. To make those decisions, sales needs to be in constant communication with operations and finance regarding what will be easier and harder to handle.

The sales organization spends most of its time focused on the external. What do customers want? Who will buy?

Sales also has to be focused internally. Sales, operations and finance have to work hand in hand to comb through the raw materials and finished goods available for sale, and to understand the workforce skills most ready to deploy.

Knowing which customers to prioritize because they pay well, and which to minimize because they are risky, is essential.

Knowing how to price an offer to a customer taking those variables into account is even more critical.

Sales management is the conduit between internal resources and external opportunity. The sales team can increase the company’s profits by knowing what the company is best able to produce and adjusting proposal pricing to account for risks and costs related to shifts in production and customers.

Anne Carson Daly, a former administrator in the corporate and public sectors as well as academia, has been named the sixth president of Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh by the college’s board of trustees.

Her appointment takes effect July 14.

She will succeed the Rev. Kevin E. Mackin, who will step down as president on June 30.

Daly since 2007 has served as vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty at the 1,700-student Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina. From 1994 to 2000, she supervised policy communications for five continents at Pfizer Inc. She previously served as second-in-command at the National Advisory Council on Educational Research and Improvement.

A professor of English literature, Daly has taught at Johns Hopkins University, the University of Notre Dame and Georgetown University.

Albert J. Gruner, chairman of the Mount Saint Mary board and former chairman of Ulster Savings Bank, in the announcement said Daly “has proven herself an outstanding leader and manager throughout her impressive careers in academia, government and business. Her strong academic credentials will build on the college’s legacy of excellence, while honoring our Catholic and Dominican traditions.”

Dutchess County Airport gets $1M lift from FAA

The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded a $1 million grant for improvements to Dutchess County Airport in the town of Wappinger, U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney announced.

Maloney, a Democrat representing the 18th congressional district, said the federal investment will create jobs and “shore up one of the busiest noncommercial airports in the state, while protecting the safety of our neighbors, businesses and visitors.”

Dutchess County officials said the grant will be used to repave taxiways, upgrade markings, make drainage improvements, replace an outdated lighting system and begin the design of a critical runway realignment project.

Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro in the grant announcement called the county-operated general aviation airport “a vital economic development resource” that has an economic impact in

the area of more than $44 million annually.

He said the FAA funding will be combined with grant funding awarded by the state to make the airport “an unparalleled economic asset.”

The Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority in December was approved for a $750,000 Empire State Development grant to extend municipal water service to the Dutchess County Airport Business Park to stimulate private investment there.

Yonkers film festival seeks artists’ entries

Organizers of YoFi Fest have issued a call for entries in the second annual film festival in downtown Yonkers this fall.

YoFi Fest will run Oct. 17-19 at the Yonkers Riverfront Library.

Dave Steck, the festival’s founding executive director and executive producer and creative director at Numeric Pictures in Yonkers, said submissions will be accepted through August and films accepted into the festival will be announced in September. He said filmmakers already have shown “a lot of interest” in participating after last year’s festival debut, when organizers received submissions from about a dozen countries and 16 films premiered. The 2013 festival also featured 17 films with connections to Westchester.

Films can be submitted digitally at YoFiFest.com.

Steck in a press release said more than 75 films will be screened at this year’s YoFi Fest, including features, shorts, documentaries, animation, music videos and student work. The festival again will host a “mini film school” with discussions led by award-winning industry professionals on various aspects of filmmaking, including production, writing, locations, distribution, marketing, animation, postproduction, permits, insurance, payroll and how to break into the industry.

Audiences will have a chance to meet filmmakers informally at festival receptions and nightly parties. On Saturday and Sunday morning, screenings and programs for children and families will be presented at no charge.

YoFi Fest is supported in part by the city of Yonkers and the Yonkers Film Office, the Westchester County Tourism & Film office, AT&T, Sound Associates, Empire City Casino, Cross County Shopping Center, Yonkers Tennis Center, Jacob Burns Film Center, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Kids FilmFest, Sarah Lawrence College, X2O Xaviars on the Hudson, Slovenia Vodka, Zuppa Restaurant and Lounge, Dolphin Restaurant and Lounge, 66 Main Street and Numeric Pictures.

Purchased by Destination Hotels & Resorts of Englewood, Colo., in 2005, Tarrytown House is celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer and continues to do a brisk business in corporate retreats, weddings, catering and weekend getaways.

“We have an average of 75,000 to 80,000 visits a year and that’s with the overnight guests, our wedding guests and companies that come for a day,” said Joe Santore, Tarrytown House general manager. He said the average size of a conference group is 20 to 30 people. “About 65 percent is conferenceand business-related, 20 percent is catering, weddings and events and the remainder would be your weekend escapees.”

Wall Street firms once were Tarrytown

House’s biggest clients, but that has changed in recent years.

“It had some of the busiest years ever in its history in ’06, ’07 and the first half of ’08,” Santore said. Business for the conference center fell off during the financial crisis but has since turned around. “We play host to a large array of different clients – not just Wall Street and banking related. They’re certainly still important, but so are retail, management consulting, accounting, education and universities, pharmaceutical and medical groups. It’s a much more diversified clientele coming in from different aspects of industry, whereas 50 percent of our business used to be Wall Street-related.”

The 26-acre complex was constructed on the former estate of Mary Duke Biddle, an heiress to the American Tobacco fortune who purchased the property in 1921, incorporating the two original mansions and other structures to create a unique venue for corporate meetings.

Shortly after Biddle passed away in 1960, the estate was purchased by the African nation of Mali, which quickly sold the estate to former Time magazine editor Robert L. Schwartz in 1963. A May 1964 article in The New York Times noted Schwartz’s idea was “to supply everything a business group needs – shelter, food, conference rooms and Anchored, page 21

New hotel taxes for Westchester unlikely to be approved

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

N

orman Rosenblum wants to know why four Westchester County communities have the authority to charge their own tax on hotel bookings while Mamaroneck, where he is the mayor, does not.

Municipalities can only charge a hotel tax if they receive approval from the state Legislature, and the village of Mamaroneck is among a dozen municipalities in the county whose hotel taxes are rejected each year.

Rosenblum said he doesn’t expect the state to grant authority for a hotel tax to any communities in Westchester or elsewhere before the legislative session ends this month.

“Of course it’s frustrating, but hopefully one of these times it gets through,” Rosenblum, a Republican, said.

There are only two hotels in the village of Mamaroneck, The Mamaroneck Motel and Vincent & Sons Motel, which have 50 rooms between them. But Rosenblum said the village could collect $30,000 a year if it charges a 3 percent occupancy tax on bookings there,

18 June 16, 2014 • WCBJ

and even more could come, with talks about building a third hotel downtown in what is now an industrial corridor.

“It would be a really nice hit on the income,” he said. The village’s total budget for the year is roughly $33 million.

New Rochelle, Rye, White Plains and Rye Brook have their own 3 percent hotel tax, which is charged on top of Westchester County’s 3 percent tax. Yet communities like Mamaroneck, North Castle and Harrison continually see their efforts to charge a tax met with resistance in the state Legislature.

Even Yonkers, Westchester’s largest city, does not have its own hotel tax; it is among the communities asking for the tax this year.

Yonkers is seeing interest from hotel developers and in February ground was broken on a 155-unit hotel at Cross County Shopping Center.

State Sen. George Latimer, a Democrat, said it didn’t make sense to allow a hotel tax for some communities and not for others.

“There’s no principle, there’s no reason, on equity, that these communities shouldn’t get the same authority,” he said.

The state Senate, which is run by a coali-

tion of Republicans and five breakaway Democrats, has been resistant not only to the hotel tax but to most newly proposed taxes in the last few years, particularly since Gov.

“There’s no principle, there’s no reason, on equity, that these communities shouldn’t get the same authority.”

— State Sen. George Latimer

Andrew Cuomo came into office in 2011. The last Westchester hotel tax approved was in 2010, when the village of Rye Brook became the first government to get the authority that was neither a city nor county. Since then,

several hotel taxes have been renewed, but the Senate hasn’t taken up new proposals recently even as they found support in the Assembly. The issue isn’t partisan on the local level, with several Republican-led governments asking for taxing authority, including Harrison’s all-Repulican Town Board.

Latimer, who spent 20 years in the hotel industry, said what was confusing about the Senate’s position was that it isn’t a new tax, in that it exists in a number of communities already. “These folks want to be able to say they didn’t raise any taxes,” he said. “But it’s not me passing the tax, it’s me giving them the authority to pass it.”

Paul Feiner, supervisor of Greenburgh, said the town and its six villages could raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in nonproperty tax revenues if they had their own hotel taxes. What makes the tax so appealing to local governments is that it is a revenue stream that doesn’t necessitate increasing property taxes at a time when labor costs soar and the state caps tax levy increases annually (this year’s cap was set at 1.66 percent).

Tom bakes our cakes in-house and you can tell.

Tom is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, having served his apprenticeship in Western Europe (France) and most recently he was Executive Chef at the Greenwich Country Club, and Executive Chef at the Union Club in NYC..

EAT OUTSIDE! Iron Horse has put the tables out - little bistro tables in the front, between the flowers, and on the side where the little

park offers a fresh and happy ambiance. Tables are under the generous roof of the old station, so sudden spring showers are not a problem.

The food you’ll eat takes advantage of fresh local produce, gently prepared. The menu, as always, offers both the “destination” cuisine as well as the regular favorites.

NEW TIMES! Iron Horse is now glad to offer you brunch as well as dinner on Saturday, and lunch as well as supper on Sunday. As always, Iron Horse accommodates you folks who are going to the movies at the Jacob Burns - eat before or after, or both.

Hotel taxes — ­ From page 18

“It’s frustrating,” Feiner, a Democrat, said.

“Albany wants us to comply with the tax cap but they are not giving us the tools we need that would enable us to keep property taxes low without impacting quality of life and services.”

Politically, the hotel tax offers a benefit to local elected officials because it is charged to transient visitors rather than residents, whose property tax fatigue could be directed at elected officials in the polling booth. Fiscally, the hotel tax could have a major impact, depending on the size of the communities and the reputation of their hotels.

White Plains expects to collect $1 million in hotel taxes in the 2014-15 fiscal year, according to its $176.1 million proposed budget. New Rochelle projected $280,000 from the tax in its current budget after collecting $212,000 in 2013.

Rye, with a budget of $44.9 million and population of fewer than 20,000 people, expects to take in $150,000 from the hotel tax this year.

Rye Brook, which has about 10,000 residents, has two marquee hotels in the Hilton

Westchester and Doral Arrowwood. It collects 3 percent of its entire annual revenue from the occupancy tax, $630,000 for an entire budget for 2014-15 of about $18 million.

Westchester County expects $5.5 million, $300,000 more than last year, to be taken in from its own hotel tax, which makes up less than 1 percent of the county’s budget revenue.

Dan Conte, president of the 31-member Westchester Hotel Association, said the industry was “crawling back” to prerecession numbers but facing increasing costs such as employee health care and additional fees.

He said the hotel tax and other taxes like it were “sneaky taxes” that equated to town officials and legislators “getting their hands in the pockets of local businesses.” Conte, the general manager of Tarrytown’s Westchester Marriott, said the hotel industry continues to be singled out year after year even though the market in Westchester is still recovering back to health.

Although it seemed a long shot that new hotel taxes would be approved by the Legislature this year, Conte was sure the discussions would begin anew when the calendar flips to 2015. “The more things change, the more they stay the same,” he said.

materials, and recreational facilities – to hold a training program or seminar.”

When it opened as a conference center in 1964, Tarrytown House had seven meeting rooms and 42 guest rooms. The complex has since hosted countless meetings, retreats and conferences, as well as weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and weekend getaways.

Destination Hotels & Resorts performed $12 million in restorations after purchasing the property and the result is a historic, yet thoroughly modern, technologically updated facility.

“Our biggest attraction and draw is that we have a historic and classic feel,” Santore said. “But certainly the customer expects seamless tech, seamless Internet connectivity and access to power because everyone needs to charge their laptops, phones and iPads.”

Biddle’s legacy remains visible across the property – her portrait graces the wall of the drawing room in the Biddle Mansion, which was her home and is the centerpiece of the complex. An avid outdoor recreation enthusiast, her original outdoor pool is still in use and the property also features outdoor

horseshoe pits and tennis and bocce courts.

Original statuary still stands in the circular garden outside the lobby and the grounds command a sweeping view of the Hudson River just south of the Tappan Zee Bridge.

The staff aims to maintain the gardens as Biddle intended.

“It has a personality, a lot of outdoor space, so that the learning and the sharing with a group is not just occurring in the meeting room,” Santore said. “On a nice day, you’ll see our groups using the recreation facilities and the lawns as a supplement.

That’s part of the meeting experience and a lot of times it isn’t planned that way, but it kind of morphed that way because of the environment.”

While technology and business have changed, the foundation for Tarrytown House’s success was laid 50 years ago – and still remains strong.

“Bob Schwartz said it best when he created this concept back in ’64. He’d typically make an opening address to the groups and he’d say, ‘Our only wish is that you leave with a better and fuller sense of yourself and your organization than when you came here,’” Santore said. “Remaining disciplined and focused on that original mantra is what has enabled us to succeed decade after decade.”

MeeTInGs & ConvenTIons

a crash course in convention networking

BY RUSSELL tRAHAN

I

ndustry-specific conferences and conventions are a hallmark in business networking. As an attendee or a sponsored vendor, you will be inundated with a who’s who in your field, from the headlining heavyweights delivering keynotes and breakout sessions to the newcomers looking to create a name and garner beneficial connections. The chaos of the convention floor can prove a sensory over-

load for the experienced and first-timers alike.

It is one thing to work a room at a local industry function, but it’s another animal entirely when working the convention or conference floor, surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of likeminded individuals.

There are numerous avenues to consider when preparing to attend, but there are a few staples to put into action to certify that your experience is a valuable one and you come home with encouraging leads, a lengthened

client list or an increased customer base.

The convention begins before takeoff No one likes plane flights. With imminent discomfort on the horizon, there is a tendency to double-down on the comfort one can control, which usually involves dress and demeanor. There’s no doubt that a loosefitting outfit and an early-morning mimosa (or two) takes away some of the irritations of travel, but if you’re heading to the airport in shorts and a T-shirt with a head full of bubbly, you’re already starting your convention experience incorrectly.

The movie cliché involving a manic driver late to a meeting, weaving in and out of traffic, directing choice gestures at other drivers, just to arrive on time and realize the guy he cut off is the same guy he’s delivering a sales presentation to, is exaggerated but true. When you’re making your way through the airport, the convention is already underway. Every interaction should be treated as potential business, and this means dressing and acting as you would on the convention floor, and ensuring your conduct and attire remain professional — because you don’t know who is who.

Meetings have been scheduled in the airport Starbucks line, so while the inclination may be to travel in a relaxed fashion in comfortable attire, most working professionals will tell you they would trade a few unpleasant hours for a newly minted contract.

The booth boost For many companies, a large portion of their annual budget — as well as their time — is dedicated to their annual conference or convention. While investing in a sponsorship that involves a booth setup in the exhibit area can prove costly, it can also prove lucrative when the convention floor closes.

A booth gives your company a physical presence throughout the convention and exponentially increases your visibility. As opposed to conversations and business card exchanges, you have an area replete with banners, boards detailing your products or services, and of course your carefully chosen convention representatives.

Curiosity will often bring attendees to your booth to see what you’re all about. You should guarantee that it is managed by your most customer service-savvy staff. Arrive early each day to make sure everything is in working order when the convention opens.

Create a schedule with time blocks that correspond with the daily convention activities so you can plan one-on-one meetings with any potential clients away from the hustle and bustle of the booth.

Deliver a Workshop A superb way to create some buzz around the convention is to deliver a presentation or workshop. One great aspect of these events is that there is constantly something going on, from quick informational sessions to multi-hour seminars — and often organizers are looking for individuals to fill out their extensive schedules.

If this opportunity is available, it should be considered a must. Attendees can read about your expertise or services, but there is no better way to get your ideas to stick than delivering a presentation.

These workshops should be formatted as content-driven and informational — not as an in-person advertorial. Pique your audience’s interest by offering a solution to their problems or an approach to make their lives easier and your skills will prove impactful— and potentially profitable. Use your platform as an in-person sales pitch and your efforts will go unnoticed.

The convention over, the work has just begun You return home exhausted from multiple days of nonstop presentations, long hours working the booth in the exhibit area and networking with your colleagues in the industry — but your work has only just begun.

Follow-up seems like a simple concept but it’s astounding how many professionals believe their face-to-face efforts will be enough to immediately lead to a windfall of new business.

Your mindset upon returning home should be one of “they met me, and they met my competition.” Separate yourself from the pack. Email your new contacts and convey how much you appreciated their time during such a busy event and offer dates and times to continue your conversation.

Twiddling your thumbs and waiting for the phone to ring often results in a net-zero gain.

Proactivity is the key to new clientele.

Regardless of your industry or your status within it, your calendar should be highlighted with the dates that you’re attending its annual conference or convention. The potential to recruit new clients and customers or craft longstanding relationships is boundless and will boost your standing as a company or individual. Networking is a cornerstone of business, and a convention or conference is the premier medium to make the most of your efforts.

Eye Designs of Westchester will host trunk shows on four days in June at its Scarsdale location in celebration of its 30-year anniversary. Each trunk show will showcase the styles of a prominent eyewear designer. These events are among several planned in celebration of the store’s anniversary.

The brainchild of Sharon Decker, Eye Designs of Westchester was launched in 1984 because Decker felt Westchester needed its own fashion-forward designer eyewear retail shop. Fifteen years later she opened a second location in Armonk, bringing eyewear designs and personalized service to the midWestchester and Fairfield County, Conn., communities.

Visitors to the trunk shows can preview and purchase merchandise before it is made available to the public and have their photos taken wearing the new collections to see how they will look in different styles. They can also be photographed in their own glasses and the

photos will be incorporated into future store promotions throughout the rest of the year.

“Eyewear has become an important fashion accessory, an extension of one’s clothing wardrobe, one’s style and taste,” Decker said.

Decker and her son, Harris, choose the styles and designs for the store. The trunk shows will be held consecutive Saturdays in June at the Scarsdale location, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ENTA Welcomes Laryngologist Dr. Sal Taliercio will begin practicing full time at ENT and Allergy Associates L.L.P.’s Sleepy Hollow site, 358 N. Broadway, beginning Aug. 1. Taliercio will become the newest member of the practice’s Voice and Swallowing Center, a subdivision consisting of all seven of ENTA’s laryngologists.

Taliercio earned his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis and received his medical degree from Albany Medical College in Albany. He completed his residency in otolaryngology/head-and-neck surgery at Eastern Virginia Medical School and his fellowship in laryngology at the New York University Voice Center/New York University School of Medicine in New York City. He has authored works including recent

reviews of steroid use in laryngology and treatment methods of laryngotracheal stenosis. His current research interests include correlation of stroboscopy with objective measures of voice.

Taliercio will obtain surgical privileges at Phelps Memorial Hospital in Sleepy Hollow.

“We have worked very hard to establish the credentials of our Voice and Swallowing Center,” said Dr. Jonathan Aviv, clinical director of the subdivision, “and firmly believe that Dr. Taliercio’s extensive education and clinical proficiency in the field of laryngology are the perfect credentials and expertise we demand. I’m professionally and personally delighted to welcome him to the team.”

new Executive Director at John Jay Homestead Ruth Sonshine has been appointed executive director of John Jay Homestead by the Friends of John Jay Homestead. She succeeds Wendy Ross, who retired May 30. Prior to joining John Jay Homestead, Sonshine was at Yale Law School serving as associate director for major gifts. A frequent visitor to the Homestead with her family, an outdoors enthusiast, an American studies major and an attorney, Sonshine said she is “excited about joining this excellent organization, with its strong community role, dynamic programs and essential mission.” She will begin work June 23.

Jon Stanley, chairman of the board of Friends of John Jay Homestead and also of the search committee, said, “This has been an

exciting and confirming process for us. We received applications from very committed and qualified applicants who knew about our range of programs and ambitions and who were excited about our mission. We’ve just spent the weekend thanking Wendy Ross for her leadership for so many years and want to thank all the others as well who have helped make the Friends the strong place it is now.”

Heather Iannucci, New York State Parks site manager, said, “We look forward to working with Ruth. The Friends bring indispensable energy and support to our shared site and our relationship has never been stronger.”

Building for a job

The job interviews were creatively hands-on this month at Legoland Discovery Center Westchester in Yonkers, where applicants for a full-time salaried position competed in the “Brick Factor” Master Model Builder Competition. The three-round contest tested their Lego building skills, creativity, and abilities to work in pressure-filled situations and engage with children at the business in the Ridge Hill Westchester shopping center.

Mount Vernon resident Veronica Watson, a Legoland employee since the 32,300-squarefoot attraction opened last year, won the competition and a new job at the Discovery Center as master model builder.

5. Judges examine a competitor’s handiwork.
