ignaling the growing tide of support for medical marijuana, North Shore-LIJ Health System, the largest health care network in the state, has partnered with Silverpeak Apothecary, a medical marijuana producer and provider in Aspen, Colo., to bid for one of the five medical marijuana licenses expected to be issued by the state in July.

“A key goal of our health system has always been to ensure access to the best and the safest treatments possible for our patients,” said Terry Lynam, vice president of public relations and chief communications officer at North Shore-LIJ. “To deny a patient of potential therapy such as medical marijuana that may alleviate suffering and enhanced quality of life fails to meet that goal. … Quite simply we

feel obligated that if there are legal treatments our patients can benefit from we should make those available to our patients,” he said.

With North Shore-LIJ’s coverage area including 8 million people, Silverpeak Apothecary CEO Jordan Lewis referred to the partnership as a “watershed moment.”

“It is well-documented that since the beginning of civilization, cannabis had been a foundational therapeutic plant. It was not until recent history that the plant was vilified and an attempt was made to exterminate it. This was an unfortunate turn of events that we are just beginning to remedy,” Lewis said. “The fact that North Shore-LIJ is embracing this opportunity, as a clean slate to objectively explore the potential benefits that cannabis can provide to patients, represents the pinnacle of a significant cultural shift.

Drive to hydrogen-fueled autos stalls in New York

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

n May 2007, a toast was made at Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown after two Chevrolet Sequel hydrogen-powered vehicles made automotive history by traveling 300 miles without stopping to refuel. Lawrence Burns, thenvice president for research and development and strategic planning at General Motors Co., raised his glass for “the future of the planet, the future of cell technology and of course the future of our company.”

Months after that ceremony, a hydrogen refueling station was unveiled in White Plains and six Chevrolet Equinox vehicles rolled into the city for use by White Plains officials and the general public in a case study conducted by GM

and Shell Hydrogen. As part of the companies’ Project Driveway study, two more refueling stations were promised and later built at John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens and in the Bronx.

Eight years later, the move to hydrogen fuel cell technology for automobiles — which can travel on the alternative fuel at a distance comparable to cars traveling on a full tank of gasoline and emit only water vapor — has stalled out in New York.

All three refueling stations have been closed for the last few years. The White Plains station on South Kenisco Avenue is being preserved with nitrogen gas, according to Karen Pasquale, senior adviser to White Plains Mayor Thomas M. Roach.

“Full ownership of all equipment transferred to the city,” Pasquale said in an email. She

did not respond to questions about the cost of preserving the station and where the Equinox vehicles are being kept.

There is some discussion about converting the station into a compressed natural gas operation, Pasquale said, but added that the conversion “is not being actively worked on at this time.”

The South Kenisco Avenue station cost about $500,000 and was paid for by Shell Hydrogen. The city received $700,000 in grants from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and New York Power Authority to purchase vehicles used for the study.

More recently, though, hydrogen has taken a back seat to other alternative-fuel technologies » HYDROGEN, page 6

e’s a marketer without peer in his trade, though the doctor hangs no shingle outside his Yonkers office.

His office occupies an unremarkable twostory brick building amid the recycling and salvage yards and auto and machine shops that line Saw Mill River Road.

The doctor is in, wearing a black beret and loose hanging green shirt as he fields messages from a busy office staff of women. His white physician’s lab coat and stethoscope hang from a hook on his office door: branding at rest. The phone on his desk rings repeatedly. He has given his cellphone to his daughter in the outer office to answer more urgent calls while he talks to us.

“It’s like this every day,” says Anthony Attanasio hanging up the phone, “always putting out fires.”

One of his technicians who makes house calls forgot to bring a repair part to a job on an ailing apartment appliance in the Bronx. Another employee will have to be dispatched from Yonkers to deliver it. Attanasio, aka The Appliance Doctor, keeps his professional cool, although the repairman’s time-and-money-costing mental lapse could make a boss blow a gasket.

If Attanasio seems familiar, you might have seen him on one or more of the 130 videos on YouTube that he’s shot — with his own purchased equipment, after taking a course on video production — for his 35-year-old business. Or maybe you caught one of his 8-minute shows that previously was on cable television. “Hi, my name is Anthony Attanasio,” the guy dressed like a surgeon at a desk tells his viewers, “and I am the chief of staff at the Appliance Doctor.”

It’s a mobile healing practice that treats household appliances — washers, dryers, microwave ovens, stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators — at homes in Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester. From a fleet of 12 company trucks — their side panels display a fetching caricature of Attanasio in Appliance Doctor smock applying a stethoscope to a feverish refrigerator —

its repair technicians service more than 450 apartment and commercial buildings for 45 management firms. Columbia University calls on the Appliance Doctor when appliances go haywire in student dorms.

New York City, that pricey haven for apartment dwellers, provides 65 percent of his company’s repair business, Attanasio says. “I’ve got one landlord that has 100 buildings. Another has 140.” One is Stanley Wasserman, the metro New York real estate mogul whose family-run business is headquartered in New Rochelle.

“It’s a little quiet today,” says the 57-year-old Yonkers native, “but we have 10 full-time guys on and four part-time” making house calls. “Yesterday we did 78” — sick appliances, that is — “and the day before, 77. Today we’re doing 69.”

Most are high-end patients bearing reputable family names like Bosch, Miele, Thermador, Dacor, Asko — manufacturers

for which Appliance Doctor is an authorized factory service center. “That has really put us over the top,” says Attanasio, the company’s sole owner and president.

“We’re in an industry where jobs are 2, 3, 400 dollars. That was the problem 15 years ago,” when his company was servicing cheaply sold appliances for which the repair bill could be more than the customer’s initial purchase price. That led Attanasio to go after the authorized factory service business on the high end.

Now his company is replacing parts on better machines on $500 and $600 jobs.

“People don’t bat an eye because for that $600, we’re working on a $6,000 stove,” he says.

Attanasio got his start in the repair trade on a more modest line of appliances.

Graduating from high school in Yonkers, “I was an electrician for about a year and didn’t like it,” he tells us. His mother Appliance doctor, page 16

WMC partners with Dutch tech giant in Hudson Valley

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

W

estchester Medical Center on June 16 announced a $500 million, 15-year partnership deal with Royal Philips Electronics NV, the Dutch health care and diversified technology company, to provide managed services for the Valhalla medical center’s expanded health network in the Hudson Valley.

“We view this as a key strategic piece to our development as a system” serving patients across an eight-county region, WMC President and CEO Michael D. Israel told the Business Journal. Israel said the corporate relationship gives the WMC network first access to new technologies developed by Philips and makes WMC “a beta site” for the Dutch company’s innovations in health care technology and delivery.

Israel spoke to the Business Journal a few hours before the arrival of Royal Philips CEO Frans van Houten on WMC’s Grasslands campus to sign the agreement, which Israel said took about six months to complete. WMC first signed a strategic business partnership agreement with Royal Philips in 2007. The new partnership moves the medical center from

a typical “transactional relationship” with a vendor to an alliance of “two corporations working together to develop a new health care delivery system,” he said.

Westchester Medical Center Chief Operating Officer Gary F. Brudnicki said WMC will spend an estimated $500 million in capital investments over the agreement’s 15-year period. It provides the hospital a level payment plan annually and “allows us to have a predictable access to the capital market for substantial investment,” he said.

The Westchester hospital last month rolled out WMCHealth, its newly branded regional health network, when it became majority owner of Bon Secours Charity Health System in Orange and Rockland counties. WMC, which is operated by Westchester County Health Care Corp., a public benefit corporation, also acquired the bankrupt St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie a year ago and operates it as MidHudson Regional Hospital of Westchester Medical Center.

The partners said the Philips health care division, which has its North American headquarters in Andover, Mass., will serve WMCHealth with clinical and business consulting and advanced medical technologies, including imaging systems, patient monitor-

ing, telehealth and clinical informatics solutions.

WMC and Philips officials said they aim to redefine the delivery of quality care in all medical areas, including radiology, cardiology, neurology, oncology and pediatrics, as WMCHealth expands from “a single-campus academic medical center into a multi location regional health care provider.”

The partners said a joint team of WMCHealth and Philips professionals will work at hospitals and health care sites to optimize medical technology deployment and integrate information technology into a unified platform to enhance WMC operations.

Israel in the announcement said the Philips partnership “not only gives us access to the latest in connected digital health technologies, it will allow us to collaborate on pro-active health management and co-create new patient-centered models of care for the Hudson Valley area.”

At the start, Israel said, WMC and Philips are installing telehealth systems in intensive care units at its Valhalla and Poughkeepsie hospitals. And WMC is working with an IT integration support team from Philips to build an IT infrastructure to manage WMC’s new health care delivery system for Medicaid

patients in the Hudson Valley.

Royal Philips CEO van Houten in the announcement said health systems such as WMC’s “need a dedicated partner that can bring not just technology, but also deep health care and consumer expertise, resources and solutions that will help accelerate the transformation of their organization and ecosystem … allowing health systems to expand access to quality care, manage costs and share risk. This allows them to focus on what matters most: delivering better care to the people in their communities.”

In the U.S., Royal Philips has formed similar partnerships with Banner Health, a 23-hospital system based in Phoenix, and Georgia Regents Medical Center in Augusta, Ga. Other clients that have signed on for Philips managed services include the Saudi Arabia health ministry and hospital centers in the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.

“I believe this (WMC partnership) is the biggest one they have in the world,” Israel said.

WMC officials said the Philips agreement will not result in hospital layoffs. Israel said the partnership by shaping a successful health care delivery network could result in additional jobs created at WMCHealth as patient numbers increase in the region.

Westchester grocery stores experience a second renaissance

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

A

round the turn of the millennium, long before there were self-checkout lines or in-store deli ordering kiosks, many residents of Westchester County had to search far and wide for their bread and milk.

Grocery stores, especially in the county’s northern sector, were sparse and often required a 15-minute-plus drive.

Westchester was clamoring for a supermarket rejuvenation, and it got one.

Stew Leonard’s, already with two successful locations in Fairfield County, brought its singing cows and finer food and wine to a 120,000-square-foot location in Yonkers in September 1999. Turco’s, a Hartsdale specialty market, opened a larger, second 38,000-square-foot location in Yorktown Heights the following year.

Grand Union, a then New Jersey-based store with several locations in Westchester at the time, filed for bankruptcy in 2000 and sold off its properties to Massachusetts-

based chain Stop & Shop, with the company eventually opening a mix of its standard and “superstore” locations in the lower half of the county.

That collection of megastores became the dominant face of the county’s grocery retail industry for a number of years. But in the past decade, they’ve been joined by a number of other national chains that are contributing to a second mini-renaissance.

Burt P. Flickinger III, managing director of Strategic Resource Group, a New York City-based consumer business consulting firm, said that chains such as ShopRite and Whole Foods Market have penetrated the Westchester market with great success, even seeing some of their highest-volume stores in the county.

“The best growth in Westchester we’ve seen has been from the entrepreneurial, independent owner-operators,” Flickinger said, also citing Stew Leonard’s.

Whole Foods, now in its 24th year of being a public company, has only reached roughly half of its potential in the county, Flickinger said. In December, officials from

THE BRISTAL ASSISTED LIVING

New Castle approved zoning that would bring a 40,000-square-foot Whole Foods store to its Chappaqua Crossing development, making it the company’s fourth one in Westchester.

Its Ridge Hill location in Yonkers — which opened in 2011 — has provided competition for its neighbor across the Thruway, Stew Leonard’s.

Fred Salvino, Stew Leonard’s Yonkers store president, said the arrival of the organic food chain, along with warehouse club Costco — the world’s leading supplier of prime beef — that lies in its shadow, means more competition. His store, which does not sell items such as bleach, toothpaste or other toiletries, means customers cannot rely solely on Stew Leonard’s for all their essentials and he expects them to shop elsewhere anyway.

“We do recognize that our customers have to make a second trip somewhere else for ancillary items,” Salvino said. “That makes it that much more important to create the trust factor. If we don’t do a good enough job, while they’re at Stop & Shop

they might say ‘Oh, I’ll just pick up steak while I’m here.’”

Still, the company’s method of making grocery shopping into a field trip through its petting zoo, elaborate decor and toy trains that rumble along tracks above the checkout area has made it into a nearly $400 million business among its four locations. Though Salvino said he could not provide annual revenue figures, he did say the 678-employee Yonkers location is the highest-grossing one. The company’s goal as a whole, he said, is to become a billiondollar business.

“At the end of the day, most customers hate the idea of going food shopping,” Salvino said. “We want to take away the ‘I’ve got to go food shopping’ and turn it into the ‘I can’t wait to go for the Stew Leonard’s experience.’”

The way Westchester County’s grocery industry has evolved, Flickinger said, has been through a series of three scenarios.

One is a grocery store closing entirely.

Other stores that went bankrupt, like Grand Grocery stores, page 16

medicine, science and compassion. The intelligent discussion has moved beyond blind political rhetoric and shifted in to the realm of compassion and science where it belongs.”

Lynam said North Shore-LIJ is wellpositioned to bring the industry out of the shadows and into the light of medicine and science, with The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in its network in addition to the wide reach of its 18 regional and community hospitals, including Northern Westchester in Mount Kisco, Phelps Memorial in Sleepy Hollow, and strategic alliances with Montefiore and Yale New Haven Health.

“I think given those factors, we put forth a compelling application why we should receive one of the licenses,” he said.

“The ability to conduct trials on medical marijuana for reducing the symptoms of multiple diseases aligns with the Feinstein Institute’s existing research efforts in areas

such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, chronic pain, epilepsy, movement disorders and other neurologic conditions, Alzheimer’s disease, Crohn’s, lupus and other autoimmune diseases, leukemia and other cancers.”

If Silverpeak NY, the limited liability company under which the pair have applied for a license, is allowed to operate in New York, medicinal marijuana would not be produced or dispensed through North Shore-LIJ facilities or employees.

Silverpeak NY would be responsible for the product through unspecified dispensaries and production facilities the company would build in New York if awarded a license.

The health care network would simply have access to the product for prescriptions and research through its partnership with Silverpeak, Lynam said.

North Shore-LIJ has further insulated itself by funding the endeavor entirely through Silverpeak, which invested $210,000 and a $2 million bond to apply for the state license.

“We anticipate that the startup cost

for this program will exceed $20 million dollars.” Lewis said. “This is a very capital intensive business.”

Lewis added that if successful, the company could initially generate “in excess of 100 jobs” with the potential for many more as the program evolves.

Where exactly the evolution of medical marijuana will go is not nearly as ambiguous to Lynam as the federal laws, which have long kept large organizations from delving into the medical marijuana arena for fear of repercussions.

Marijuana is classified by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as a Schedule I drug alongside heroin, ecstasy and bath salts.

“Medical marijuana is legal in 23 states.

While each state program is different, one provision that is universal is that health care providers must recommend its use to patients. The fact of the matter is that health care professionals nationally, and soon all across New York, are going to be involved in ensuring legal access to the best and the safest treatment possible for patients,” Lynam said.

as the focus of state funding and initiatives.

“Over the past two decades, cars and trucks running on electricity, CNG (compressed natural gas), ethanol, and biodiesel have become increasingly popular in New York,” NYSERDA spokesman Alan Wechsler said in an email.

Of those, electric vehicles have especially taken off with the help of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s Charge NY initiative to expand the use of those cars and recharging stations across the state. The Business Journal recently reported there were about 8,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles registered in the state in 2014 and 523 registered public and private charging stations across the state this year.

One reason for the downshift in hydrogen and uptick in other alternative fuel technologies is cost.

“There are a few challenges for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that are unique to that technology; the biggest is price,” said Adam Ruder, clean transportation program manager at NYSERDA. Installation costs are substantially higher for hydrogen stations at about $1 million, Ruder said. Adding an ethanol tank to an existing gas station costs about $50,000.

Electric recharging stations can range from “a couple thousand dollars” up to $40,000, he said Toyota’s hydrogen fuel automobile model

juana “will depend on the research piece of it. We think there is a lot of research that needs to be done in all those disease areas I mentioned earlier to examine the efficacy for reducing symptoms,” Lynam said.

North Shore-LIJ is not alone among hospitals in its interest in medicinal marijuana.

The Greater New York Hospital Association, a trade association comprising nearly 250 hospitals and continuing care facilities throughout the New York metropolitan area as well as New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island, has also applied for a medical marijuana license with support from its private-sector partner — the real estate giant Durst Organization.

Their application for a medical marijuana license was made through the recently established Compassionate Sunset LLC. Additionally, Capital New York reported, Mount Sinai Health System and the University of Rochester Medical Center said they had been in talks with one or more companies that had applied for a medical marijuana license and would work with them if they were chosen by the state.

that will debut nationally later this year, the 2016 Mirai, has a suggested retail price of $57,500, which Ruder compared to the Nissan Leaf, an electric vehicle, priced at $29,010.

The Mirai and its already-established competitor, Hyundai’s Tuscon Fuel Cell, are currently only available for leasing to U.S. customers in California. Consumers pay a signing fee and make monthly payments for three years, while hydrogen refueling is free.

“California as a state has demonstrated leadership in providing incentives not only for the vehicles, but also for the building of the infrastructure,” said Morry Markowitz, president of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association. The state has 59 refueling stations in operation and a goal of 100 stations by 2020, according to its website.

“Any state that wants to provide this terrific technology to its consumers is going to have to look at the California model very closely,” Markowitz said.

Doug Roude, managing director of Hydrogen Safety LLC, a Connecticut-based specialist firm in risk management for alternative energy infrastructure, is optimistic that hydrogen has a future in the northeast.

“After California, the hope is that the tristate area would be a second focus for this type of roll-out,” he said, referring to the vehicle leasing program started by Hyundai and Toyota.

While electric vehicles were a “good first step in getting people weaned off gasoline,” Roude said, “The long-term solution is going to be hydrogen.”

USI Insurance Services in Valhalla has acquired a construction insurance and bonding company in New Jersey and a retail property and casualty insurance and employee benefits brokerage headquartered in Indiana.

Financial terms of the recently closed deals were not disclosed by USI, an insurance brokerage and consulting company with more than 4,400 employees in 140 offices nationwide.

The Valhalla company acquired Kore Group Inc., a New Jersey company that does business as Construction Agency Professionals. A USI spokesperson said about 10 employees from CAP are joining USI’s West Orange, N.J., office, bringing the total number of employees there to 50.

The acquired company is a retail insurance broker providing insurance and surety products directly to construction companies and contractors. USI executives said the acquisition further strengthens USI’s presence as a middle-market insurance brokerage and consulting firm for the construction industry in metropolitan New York.

USI officials said the company’s middlemarket presence in the Midwest has been strengthened by the recent acquisition of First Merchants Insurance Group, a retail property and casualty and employee benefits insurance brokerage based in Anderson, Ind. In connection with the sale deal, First Merchants and USI have entered into a strategic marketing agreement to provide First Merchants’ clients with continuing access to property and casualty insurance and employee group benefits products and services, according to spokespeople for the companies.

to be in the eyes of consumers,” said Gap Inc. CEO Art Peck.

The closures will not affect Gap Outlet and Gap Factory stores. Gap will also lay off 250 employees of its headquarters workforce.

“These decisions are very difficult, knowing they will affect a number of our valued employees, but we are confident they are necessary to help create a winning future for our employees, our customers and our shareholders,” said Jeff Kirwan, global president for Gap. Westchester is home to seven Gap stores.

It is not clear if any of those locations will be

Environmental groups sue federal agency for withholding records

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

R

iverkeeper and the Natural Resources Defense Council have sued the federal Office of Management and Budget for the second time in four years, accusing the agency of violating the Freedom of Information Act. Last August, the two New York-based environmental groups filed a request for documents pertaining to new requirements for cooling water intake structures, like those that have been proposed for the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan. The federal agency is required by law to respond within 20 business days about whether the request has been granted or denied.

The lawsuit, filed with the U.S. District

Court in White Plains, stated the federal agency has failed to produce all of the documents requested and has not responded as to why it has not complied.

Seventy-one pages were received in March, a lawyer for the groups said, adding that 28 of those documents were files the group already had from previous FOIA requests in recent years.

The request outlined five areas of documentation from the Office of Management and Budget: communication with nongovernmental entities, communication with federal government entities, drafts or recommendations pertaining to the new rule, all records related to the final regulation, and communication with the Office of the Federal Register.

“We don’t have a vast majority of the

documents that we’re entitled to in full or redacted form, nor have they said when they’re going to respond,” said Reed W. Super, a lawyer with Brooklyn-based Super Law Group LLC who is representing the environmental groups.

The federal agency did not respond to an emailed request for comment.

The nature of the request, Super said, relates to proposed Clean Water Act regulations in 2011 about water cooling systems.

In May 2014, the federal Environmental Protection Agency administrator signed a final version of the rule, known as 316(b), about water cooling towers, and it was published in the Federal Register in August.

According to the complaint filed by Riverkeeper and the NRDC, the new regulation was finalized by the EPA after an

interagency review process led by the Office of Management and Budget was concluded.

The changes made following the agency reviews “altered or deleted technical and scientific conclusions reached by EPA’s and the services’ expert staffs in a manner that severely weakened the 316(b) Rule,” the complaint reads.

In 2011, Riverkeeper and the National Resources Defense Council sued the federal agency for similar reasons about not producing records until after the groups went to court. A year later, the environmental groups threatened another lawsuit if a Freedom of Information request was not kept, but negotiated an agreement with the federal agency’s legal team.

“I expect they’ll provide the documents because they really have no defense,” Super said. “The only question is how quickly, and they’ve already dragged it out a long time.”

WP dealership named in $13.5M settlement

N

ew York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced on June 17 that his office reached a $13.5 million settlement with three car dealerships in the state that were found to have engaged in deceptive practices resulting in inflated car prices.

In a news release, Schneiderman named White Plains Honda on Central Avenue as one the three Paragon auto dealerships that practiced “jamming,” or unlawfully charging consumers for hidden purchases. The jointly owned Paragon dealerships claim to be the largest combined Honda dealership in the country.

The other two named in the suit are Paragon Honda and Paragon Acura, both in Queens. As part of the agreement, more than $13.5 million in restitution will be returned to 15,000 consumers. The Paragon dealerships will also have to pay $325,000 in penalties, fees and costs to New York state.

An investigation revealed the dealerships were unlawfully selling credit repair, identity theft prevention services and other after-sale items, which in some cases added more than $2,000 in hidden costs onto the sale or lease of a single car.

In the news release, Schneiderman said his office also intends to sue an additional 11 auto dealers in the New York metro area. Included on that list is Honda of New Rochelle.

CHALLENGING CAREERS

BY CATHERINE PORTMAN-LAUX

Home Depot manager offers a helping hand

W

ith Memorial Day behind him, Patrick Carroll looks forward to a rerun of holiday festivities on the July Fourth weekend.

Carroll holds the title of merchandising manager for The Home Depot in Fishkill.

For the two spring/summer holidays, he presides over roasting several hundred hot dogs offered with free beverages in appreciation of customers’ patronage.

For these particular holidays, Carroll encourages employees to come to work in red, white and blue attire. “It gets better at Halloween. They come in costumes,” he says. “Because weekends and holidays are our busiest times, our employees don’t get to spend much time with families, so we try to have a family-like atmosphere at the store.”

Keeping the store at the forefront of new-

est technology is a challenge for Carroll.

“The hottest thing on the market right now is home automation,” he says. “This allows a homeowner to keep in contact with home from external locations, checking in on smoke detector activity, lighting and heating control. Devices will even tell a shopper away from home how many eggs are left in the refrigerator and how old the oldest egg is. On the financial front, the devices can track money put into a piggy bank and funds withdrawn from that bank.”

Assessing needed quantities when ordering from vendors is a challenge also.

“We add 10 to 20 percent of last year’s sales,” he says. “Usually this works, but if there are unsold items as the end of the season approaches, we reduce the prices.”

Determining staffing needs on vari-

ous days and at times of day is another of Carroll’s responsibilities. “We believe in diversity of staff, which includes representation of both sexes, various ethnic groups and different ages,” he says. “A lot of our customers become our employees.” Of special value, he notes, are senior citizens retired from the trades who wish to work only part time. “They are invaluable in answering customers’ questions on matters pertaining to plumbing, electricity and construction,” he says.

As a people person, Carroll becomes directly involved with the needs of customers. “Two years ago a couple was browsing in the nursery section,” he says. “I found they were building a memorial garden for a deceased child. Their preferences exceeded their budget, so we partnered with outside

venders and also reduced our own profits to help them fulfill their dream garden.”

Selected charitable discounts or gifts are built into the store’s budget and are made at the discretion of local stores. “There is an application process for larger amounts,” Carroll says.

Carroll uses special tact in dealing with troubled customers. “This man came to us with a lawn mower needing repair, but the manufacturers’ warranty had long since expired,” he says. “He had already done battle with the manufacturer. Since he bought it from us, he came to the store giving vent to his rage. Actually, a part was defective. I negotiated for the manufacturer to provide the part so that he only had to pay for labor for the repair.”

Carroll says employees are encouraged to perform community service. “An employee who died had been a volunteer at a cat sanctuary,” he says. “In her memory some of our employees gave donations and volunteered. We found they needed more storage space, so The Home Depot donated the materials.”

Carroll was raised in Pine Bush. A former Dollar Tree manager, he joined The Home Depot in Brewster and has been at the Fishkill location for three years. He resides in Walker Valley with his wife, Krystal, who is a retail manager, and their children, Alyssa, 9; Dylan, 8, and Kaitlyn, 2.

INBRIEF APARTMENTS PLANNED FOR FORMER ANTUN’S SITE A razed Saw Mill River Parkway landmark in Elmsford, Antun’s of Westchester Catering, could be replaced by an apartment and retail building proposed by the Robert Martin Co. in a $22 million mixeduse development.

The Westchester County Industrial Development Agency on June 11 gave its preliminary support for the project and incentives that include a $229,000 mortgage recording tax exemption and sales tax exemptions totaling approximately $583,000.

Timothy M. Jones, managing member of the Elmsford-based Robert Martin Co., said the company 18 months ago signed a purchase option on the vacant property at 35 Valley Ave., where Antun’s of Westchester closed its doors in 2012 after 27 years of operation. The developer plans to build a 110,000-square-foot building on the site with 96 market-rate workforce apartments and 11,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

Elmsford Village Administrator Michael C. Mills said the village last year created a neighborhood business district in the proposed development area off the Saw Mill River Parkway and Route 119. Village officials are expected to do a final review of project plans in July, he said.

“I think having the retail here, it’s great for that whole little section of Elmsford,” Jones told IDA directors.

The developer said the project will create 100 construction jobs and an estimated 25 full-time jobs.

County IDA member Nicholas V. Longo voted against the board’s resolution of support for the project after Jones said the developer will not sign a project labor agreement with union locals. “We have to be open shop because we have to be competitive,” Jones said when Longo asked whether the company would employ union labor.

“While I’m an admirer of Robert Martin, I’m disappointed in the attitude toward organized labor,” Longo said.

OFFICE BUILDING SELLS FOR $24.5M For Westchester office landlord Robert P. Weisz, it’s twice bought, twice sold at the 29-year-old CrossWest Office Center in Greenburgh.

An affiliate of RPW Group Inc., the Rye Brook-based real estate company headed

by Weisz, recently sold the approximately 146,000-square-foot, Class A office building

at 399 Knollwood Road for $24.5 million to SKA Equities LLC. The buyer in sale documents listed its office in care of a records management and storage company in Edison, N.J. Weisz in 2004 paid $24.7 million for the Knollwood Road office building built in 1986, according to county land records.

Three years later, he sold the property to SL Green Realty Corp. for $31.6 million.

In 2009, Weisz bought back 399 Knollwood Road from SL Green for approximately $20.8 million and reassumed a $20 million mortgage on the multitenant property.

LEGISLATORS PASS PLAYLAND MANAGEMENT PLAN The Westchester County Board of Legislators unanimously approved a bill June 15 to privatize management of Playland amusement park in Rye, which the county has owned and operated for nearly 90 years.

The 15-year management agreement with Standard Amusements LLC, a privately held company run by Harrison native Nicholas Singer, will go into effect this year.

Standard Amusements will now begin co-managing Playland with the county for the remainder of the 2015 season, which runs through Sept. 7. Following the comanagement period, Standard will have until Oct. 31 to finalize the deal and begin independently managing the park.

The county will receive an upfront payment of $2.25 million from Standard Amusements, and Standard will then be required to make an additional $22.5 million in capital improvements to the park over the next five years.

Standard’s capital plan for the Rye amusement park calls for $5 million on new rides, $4.5 million on the pool and new water attractions, $2 million for the restoration of historic rides, $2.5 million for food stands and $1 million to renovate bathrooms in the bathhouse.

Under the agreement, the county would share in 7.5 percent of the profit from Playland operations after Standard recoups its initial investment. Standard will pay Westchester an annual $300,000 management fee that will increase by approximately 2 percent each year.

The Board of Legislators held two public hearings on the plan in May and June, where county residents voiced opinions on issues such as job security for Playland employees and financial and attendance reporting to the Board of Legislators from Standard.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

How to please big clients We have been struggling on the big accounts — not understanding their needs well enough, not profitable enough, not on time and coming in over budget sometimes. Big clients aren’t especially happy with us these days. How do I prevent this from seriously damaging our business?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Correctly diagnosing the situation is crucial. Symptoms often show up internally as the producing company notices problems before the recipient buyer sees them. There are real dollars attached to ensuring customers are satisfied.

Make sure to follow these rules for diagnosing the situation. When clients speak, hear them out, as you listen in order to understand, not to rebut. Restate what you heard in order to verify understanding. Ask clients who don’t say much to give you feedback and reassure them that negative feedback is as welcome as positive feedback. Get to work on permanent solutions.

Sometimes the most obvious question is the one that delivers the most actionable

information. Ask clients what it would take to make them happy. Just because clients ask for something, that doesn’t necessarily make it a good idea for your company. Set aside time to figure out if you can deliver what they’re asking for or not. Vend out or refer out things that you’re asked to do that don’t make sense for your company.

When your staff tells you there’s a problem with a client, pay attention. Often your people will know that something is wrong long before the client identifies an issue. Look for themes and one-offs: Is the current issue similar to other situations you’ve encountered, or is it unique? Prioritize fixing the repetitive issues. Occasionally look at the unique issues for opportunity to take the business in a new direction.

Always question the source of the problem. Did the issue crop up because of who was buying, how it was sold or the way the solution was delivered? Think through whether this client should have bought from you or whether the solution was oversold.

Or, was there a problem delivering something your company produces regularly and should have done a better job of delivering this time.

When looking to expand, remember to

sell new products to existing customers. You can trade on a long-standing positive relationship. Existing customers who know and respect the work of your company are more likely to cut you a break if things don’t go well.

On the other hand, existing customers may get tired of the same old product and look for new innovations. Keep the relationship fresh with additional offers that will help to keep that client coming back for more.

Use existing products to lure in new groups of clients. Figure out who else might want what your company has to offer. Start off new clients with a strong relationship because you’re offering a product or service that’s well tested and proven.

One researcher, looking at a Fortune 100 company, equated a 1 percent increase in satisfaction to $13 million in increased service contracts. That’s powerful. While your numbers might be smaller, it’s important that everyone in your company understands the link between satisfied clients and continued revenue flow to pay the bills, including everyone’s salary and benefits.

When looking to ensure customer satisfaction, look for consistent holes. Decide if it’s due to a lack of management and oversight, lack of proper planning as to how work will

be handled or lack of production skill, quality materials and deliverability. Tackle the problems now, rather than avoiding them, by forming a team of people to work on diagnosing and solving the problems at hand. Make satisfying customers everyone’s job.

Keep in mind that the bigger the client, the bigger the opportunity and the bigger the risk if things don’t go well. Big clients can help your company grow as long as their needs and yours are well-aligned. Make sure the clients you’re struggling with aren’t predators looking to pick apart your company for all it’s worth before moving on to do it to someone else. Instead, look for big clients you can partner and align with to help you and them succeed because of mutual interest and goodwill.

ACTION.

WITH 1,000,000 MORE PEOPLE PROJECTED FOR METRO NEW YORK, TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IS A MUST! With Millennials out-priced by soaring rents in Brooklyn, and projections of one million more people moving to the metro New York area in the next decade, the pressure is on for more transit-oriented development (TOD) and updated infrastructure in Westchester County.

“Everything we are seeing says we are going to have to grow,” said Joseph Giulietti, president, Metro-North Railroad, and a featured speaker at the WCA Economic Development Task Force meeting on June 4. This is where leading commercial developers, regional authorities, and Westchester’s business leaders discussed the next phase of the BLUEPRINT for Westchester, the WCA’s aggressive campaign to drive economic vitality in Westchester and the region. Peter Johnson and Peter Chavkin, representatives from SunCal, were also on hand to talk about their waterfront development, Edge-on-Hudson, in Sleepy Hollow, an example of TOD attractive to Millennials and Young Professionals.

Metro-North ridership is rising, Giulietti reported, with more riders traveling to Westchester’s suburbs. “Those trips have risen by 273 percent in the past 20 years,” he said. He pointed out that traditional commutes to Manhattan account for less than half of all MNRR ridership and reverse commuting is one of the fastestgrowing types of travel on Metro-North. He also highlighted the mixed-use development underway at the Harrison train station, which has spurred private development at a dozen others. continued on following page

Peter Johnson reported that SunCal’s massive, $1 billion mixed-use development is set to begin this year along Westchester’s Hudson River shoreline, with the potential to attract Millennials seeking vibrant living communities.

Edge-on-Hudson, which sits squarely between two Metro-North stations in the Village of Sleepy Hollow, will eventually include over 1,000 housing units, retail, commercial, and entertainment space, a hotel and conference center, 24 acres of parks and gardens, and a commute time to midtown Manhattan of 37 minutes.

According to Marissa Brett, WCA president, all signs point to a further revitalization of Westchester’s Urban ‘Burbs.

“It is hugely important for the county to have solid infrastructure and vibrant communities that appeal to and support Millennials, now the largest generation in the American workforce and key to Westchester’s future,” she said. “Our scenic waterfront and rail lines are rich and vital resources that will draw new residents and stimulate future economic growth in Westchester.”

Union, sold their stores to a more capable, better capitalized supermarket chain.

The “typical” scenario, he said, would be stores such as A&P or Pathmark that filed bankruptcy then reopened their locations with new financing.

A&P, the New Jersey-based chain that formerly owned Pathmark, Food Emporium and Waldbaum’s, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in White Plains in 2010. Once a top-10 national grocer, the company — whose roots date to 1859 — still operates 20 locations in the county, but many lack the sheer size and space that some of the newer arrivals boast. German-based Tengelmann Group, previously the largest shareholder in the group of stores, was unable to turn the stores around.

Stop & Shop, owned by Dutch retailer Ahold, has been the international anomaly in the New York City suburbs. It most recently expanded in 2012 to a Super Stop & Shop location on White Plains Road in Tarrytown. As is the recurring theme with new grocery stores in Westchester, it appears bigger is better.

Flickinger attributed some of Stop & Shop’s success to its partner company Peapod, which offers grocery delivery service to customers. Still, he said, the company has reached just about 25 percent of its potential. And he only anticipates the grocery market will continue to evolve in the years to come.

“One of the ironies in Westchester County is that international grocery retailers have historically failed with the exception of Stop & Shop,” he said.

recommended air conditioning school, and the dutiful son enrolled at Technical Career Institutes in Manhattan. “I got a job at Sears the day I graduated.”

After 2½ years, “I decided I could take care of the consumer better on my own than what Sears was doing,” says Attanasio.

He quit his corporate job shortly after a maddened Bronx resident, frustrated by the slow response from Sears to his call for service on his service contract, “went for the knife drawer” with seeming intent to attack his visiting repairman. Attanasio thought it prudent to flee the apartment without his toolbox and get police backup to retrieve it.

Pennysaver. He picked up as a client a landlord with about 30 buildings in Queens and the Bronx. After six months in business, Attanasio bought his first office building in downtown Yonkers, where his company stayed for 28 years.

Two decades passed before the business owner had a revelation that would send him shopping for a doctor’s smock, a good caricaturist and video training and equipment. It’s a revelation that, 15 years later, has the Appliance Doctor spending $12,000 to $13,000 a month on marketing for his 25-employee company.

“About 15 years ago, I realized that for me to make this business grow, I had to one, take off this technical repair pouch and be more of a manager. And number two, I’m in marketing. I’m not really in the appliance repair business.”

“I was going to be the leader … I realized I was in the marketing business and the thing I’m marketing is appliance repair.”

“There’s a lot of one- or two-man companies” competing for repair jobs in this area, he says. “Some of them are really good. I decided I was going to be a little bigger than that. I don’t know why — you get more headaches.”

“The days of ‘Hey, I’m taking out a $5,000-a-month ad in the Yellow Pages, those days are over,” he says. “I don’t advertise to get a job, I advertise to get a customer. You gotta look at long-term value for customers. … It’s our job as businesses to make sure that the consumer remembers us by touching them once, twice a year.”

With printed brochures and monthly newsletters, individually customized calendars, cookie drop-offs at appliance retailers, regular thank-you notes, $20 gas cards, occasional price breaks on repairs and incentives for customer referrals, Attanasio has developed and nurtures a wide network of business relationships with retail stores in New York City, building superintendents and repair customers.

He belongs to three clubs in the city for resident managers, as building supes have come to be called.

His myriad marketing efforts are paying off. The company is getting about 200 referrals a month. “We hit $2.5 million last year in gross revenue,” he says.

“We’ve always made money. I’ve always had my finger on the pulse because I’m a workaholic. I work three hours after work at home. I’m always looking for that next idea that can get me into somebody’s house.”

“This is the easy part,” the Appliance Doctor says as we talk about the business he built and loves while he tries to ignore his ringing phone. “As soon as you leave, I’ll have 13 things to take care of here.”

SPECIAL REPORT EDUCATION

STEM programs nurture seeds of curiosity Growing tomorrow’s leaders in after-school classes

BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

A

growing number of students like to code, tinker and design, and a new business sector is eager to teach them how.

Zaniac in Greenwich and The Digital Arts Experience in White Plains offer science, engineering, technology and math classes to school-age students in Fairfield and Westchester counties. Both programs opened within the past three years and are expanding operations to accommodate increased enrollment and demand.

The respective owners said their programs supplement school curriculums and help youths develop problem-solving skills, preparing them to one day join a workforce that increasingly requires a technological background.

Bruce Carlson, president and CEO of the Connecticut Technology Council, said there is a gap between the available skilled workforce and what state technology companies need to fuel their growth. In a spring 2014 survey, 50 of its member technology companies reported 3,000 jobs would be available in the next year and a half. U.S. Rep Nita Lowey, D-Harrison, said in a statement recently there are 2,500 unfilled jobs in Westchester County requiring a STEM education, in fields such as health care and software engineering.

“Kids with a STEM background are going to be critical,” Carlson said.

He said studies show youths have an interest in the subject around fifth and sixth grades and it starts to wane in ninth grade. Even though schools in the U.S. are starting to increase STEM exposure, most do not focus on it because of the regular curriculum in place, Carlson said. In the U.K. students learn to code starting in kindergarten, he said.

After-school programs allow students to pursue their interests while their minds are fertile and they are receptive to learning about the subject, Carlson said.

Flavia Naslausky, co-owner of Zaniac, part of a Utah-based STEM-education franchise, said being foreign-educated, she and co-owner Camilla Gazal realized math education in the U.S. “wasn’t up to speed with

the rest of the world.” They opened the first East Coast franchise of Zaniac on Putnam Avenue in December 2013. Both are mothers who grew up in Brazil and have professional backgrounds in finance.

The brightly colored Zaniac open campus offers classes in the company’s math curriculum, computer programming, live robotics, 3-D printing, tinkering, game design, Minecraft and touch typing after school and at summer camp, Gazal said.

About 500 Zaniac students have come through in the past 18 months, the owners said. Going into the summer, about 250 youths are signed up for camp, a more than 100 percent increase from their first summer last year, Gazal said. They also partner with schools.

Naslausky and Gazal said they expected students to come from Greenwich, but they’re seeing enrollment from as far as New York City. They plan to open a new location in the Westport/Fairfield area by the end of the summer in time for the coming school year.

Rob Kissner, president and CEO of the three-year-old Digital Arts Experience on Hamilton Avenue in downtown White Plains, said enrollment has increased as have requests from schools to conduct classes on-site. Last summer he outfitted a truck with tables, seats and Macbooks that can host 10 students and an instructor.

When the DAE staff taught classes at schools, students did not have the same experience because their schools have varying levels of equipment.

“We figured if we could bring our teachers, our curriculum, our classroom, we’d kind of even the playing field,” Kissner said.

The DAE offers classes in computer programming, electronics, 3-D printing, modeling, Minecraft, animation, graphic design, photography, game design and more. Nearly every class, except those involving a studio, which is on-site, can be taught on the truck, he said.

“It was basically booked before we even had it,” Kissner said.

He said this spring the truck held about 25 classes during the week and was popular for birthday parties. Now the DAE does about half its classes on-site and half on

the truck. Kissner is considering buying another truck based on demand in the fall.

The truck is helpful for schools, he said, because although they are putting more emphasis on STEM, they’re slow to incorporate the subjects into the curriculum.

Meg Käufer, president of the STEM Alliance of Larchmont-Mamaroneck, a nonprofit that connects schools and people with STEM resources, said it is important for youngsters to get involved at an early age because it is when they’re at their creative peak.

“Their minds are more nimble and more flexible,” Käufer said. “They’re more willing to be open to solutions. … STEM learning demands those skill sets when it’s done well.

We believe it will lead to a more nimble and more flexible workforce we think is critical for the future of our nation.”

Even if young students don’t go into a STEM field, having an understanding of, for example, HTML will be a valuable skill, Kissner said. At the DAE they also learn to use tools to break down large projects into steps, prototype and test. They also often collaborate with other students on their own.

Naslausky said students are more likely

to be creative at Zaniac compared with school. “There is no wrong answer, there is no testing at Zaniac,” she said. “They’re more comfortable with taking risks, getting things wrong.”

She said Zaniac students enjoy the classes because they are game-based and instructors are well-rounded high school and college students chosen for their potential to be role models for the younger students.

While some students come to Zaniac because their parents enrolled them, the owners have noticed the students are inviting their friends to join. The classes attract youths who also have other hobbies like sports, art and music.

“It doesn’t feel like school — it’s very dynamic space where there’s a lot of sharing and debating going around,” Naslausky said.

“It’s become a place where kids like to meet and like to hang out with their friends.”

Käufer said students with a strong interest in STEM used to have to wait until college to meet similar-minded people.

“There are a lot of kids for whom this is an interest and they’re doing it alone,” she said. “These after-school programs are critical for their identity development.”

Recent education grads face murky job market

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

W

hile enrollment in teaching certification programs continues to rise, a problem is presented for recent graduates in the field: an oversaturation of the education job market.

Of Westchester’s five state-approved graduate teaching programs, only one school had higher than a 15 percent rate of its 2014 grads going on to earn full-time public education

positions within five months of graduating, according to figures provided by the state Department of Education.

Manhattanville College, the county’s most successful program in terms of teacher placement in 2014, saw 17 percent of its May graduates earn a full-time public teaching position by October of last year, when the report was compiled. Sarah Lawrence College saw 7.1 percent of its grads earn the same positions, while Mercy College and The College of New Rochelle saw figures of

4.6 and 4.3 percent. Iona College saw a total of 0 percent, a figure that state Department of Education spokesman Dennis Tompkins confirmed was accurate.

The report does not take into account private teaching positions or full-time positions in separate industries. The main reason for the small percentages, Tompkins said, is there are simply fewer jobs to meet the increased number of certified teachers coming not just out of Westchester’s programs but also those around New York.

state average was just 7.2 percent.

“It’s obviously a very competitive market within New York state schools,” Tompkins said. “But we still have shortages in certain areas like science, math, physical education and some languages.”

Included in the reports are figures from the county’s 2013 graduates, which aren’t much more promising. Graduates of Iona saw a 12.5 percent full-time public teaching success rate a year and a half after graduating, while those from The College of New Rochelle saw the highest percentage at 33.9 percent. Mercy College had a 26.4 percent placement rate and 7.1 percent of Sarah Lawrence graduates found full-time public teaching work.

The Manhattanville School of Education, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month, boasted a 26.2 percent rate among its 2013 grads. Officials from the school declined to comment on the recent job placement statistics.

Students are often placed in urban public schools during their student-teaching placement, a semester-long period working in an area school district that marks the near-end of the certification process. Mercy College’s School of Education, for example, holds a separate partnership with Yonkers Public Schools that provides math teaching candidates a year of experience working with K-12 teachers in the district. The hope is to not only allow students real-life experience working with children but also to bolster their resume and increase their odds at securing a full-time position after graduation.

According to a report by the Empire Center for Public Policy, a New York research organization, teachers in Westchester County earn among the highest salaries in the state.

Scarsdale School District, paid its teachers an average of $137,017 per year, the state’s highest in 2012-13.

Teaching jobs can be lucrative because of benefits, the potential for tenure and summer months off from work. Most in secondary education require a master’s degree or a doctorate, which oftentimes can mean accruing large amounts of debt before entering the job market. Organizations like Teach for America allow recent grads to teach for at least two years in low-income neighborhoods in return for partial or full loan forgiveness.

Due to the introduction of new certification exams, the process toward certification has also become more complicated in recent years. In 2013, the state Department of Education updated the Content Specialty Test to better reflect career-ready expectations and to align with Common Core standards.

Depending on subject matter, students must also take and pass the edTPA and Academic Literary Skills Test, which can cost several hundred dollars out-of-pocket.

TOMPKINS EXCAVATING RAISES $4,600 AT GRAND PRIX NEW YORK EVENT

SALON UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Tompkins Excavating, a commercial and residential landscape construction company, recently sponsored two racing teams at the third annual 90-minute endurance race, hosted by indoor racing facility Grand Prix New York in Mount Kisco, that raised $4,600 for Project Yellow Light, an organization promoting awareness of the dangers of distracted driving among teens.

Stacey Tompkins, owner and president of Tompkins Excavating, sponsored two teams, one of which included her husband, Mark, and Kyle Bronzo, her son Justin’s friend. The second team, which consisted of Justin Tompkins and his friend Angelo Curro, won the top prize of the night.

Former salon and boutique owners Frances Bachmann and her husband, Vahan Bachmann, recently bought Sun Indulgence at 125 Route 94 in the Meadowcrest complex in Warwick.

The couple upgraded the technology, added a spray tan room, redesigned the salon to reflect a Zen spa environment and a logo with a lotus leaf, which represents the sun in Egyptian mythology.

Bachman explained that her family moved to Warwick in 2008 because they fell in love with the area. “My husband, Vahan, is from Switzerland,” said Bachmann. “So Warwick’s rolling hills and mountain backdrops appealed to him. We wanted to plant roots and invest in our new community and leave our son Kenneth with a family legacy.”

“Distracted driving is just as bad as drunk driving,” Tompkins said. “Two of my teenage sons drive now, and we preach in the home that you do not use your phone while you’re driving and if you need to make a call, pull over. I trust my boys, but we obviously don’t have eyes in the car with them and they know if they’re ever caught texting or using their phones in the car their driving privileges would be removed immediately.”

Project Yellow Light is a national scholarship competition designed to bring about change, in partnership with the Ad Council, Mazda, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Organizations for Youth Safety and U-Haul.
