Court sinks Entergy’s challenge over river habitat

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

T

he owner and operator of Indian Point Ener�y Center lost the most recent court battle in its ongoing tussle with New York state, this time over a 2012 expansion of a state-protected habitat on the Hudson River.

The Appellate Division of the state Supreme Court in Albany this month affirmed a lower court’s decision in favor of the state and its right to extend the protected area by 9 miles.

Miles 45 through 56 of the Hudson River were designated by the state in 1987 as a “significant coastal fish and wildlife habitat area.” In 2012, that area was extended by the state Department of Environmental Conservation to span from miles 40 through 60.

House sales rise again Orange County leads with 30% surge; Westchester had highest sale prices

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY’S residential real estate market continues to show good health and “sustainability” through the first half of 2015, with housing sales in the four-county region up more than 12 percent in volume from the first half of last year, according to market analysts at the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors.

Second-quarter property sales were up nearly 15 percent from the second quarter of 2014 in Westchester, Putnam and Orange counties, where 3,669 residential deals closed from April through June, 474 more than last year.

The strong second quarter followed an active first quarter for the region’s housing market, when sales jumped 12.1 percent from last year’s first quarter.

Through the first half of the year, brokers with the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service reported 6,460 sales of single-family houses, condominiums, cooperatives and twoto four-family buildings.

Westchester County brokers closed 2,183 sales in the second quarter, an 11.4 percent increase from the same period last year, and accounted for about 60 percent of the region’s total real estate sales for the quarter.

Sales of single-family homes in Westchester were up 8.4 percent from the second quarter of

2014. The county’s strong condominium market recorded 311 second-quarter sales, a nearly 17 percent increase from the previous year. The 116 multifamily buildings sold amounted to a nearly 59 percent jump from a year ago.

Westchester single-family homes again far outpaced neighboring counties in sale prices, with the second-quarter median price of $660,500 representing a 1.4 percent rise from the second quarter of 2014. By comparison, the second-quarter median price of a singlefamily home was $410,000 in Rockland County, $289,500 in Putnam County and $209,950 in Orange County.

INBRIEF COMPANIES AGREE TO ‘ZOMBIE PROPERTY’ RULES Buffalo-based First Niagara Bank NA and Anaheim, Calif.-based Carrington Mortgage Services LLC recently adopted a set of best practices pushed by New York state to combat the neighborhood blight and economic damage caused by vacant and abandoned “zombie properties.”

Under the set of practices, banks and mortgage companies regularly inspect properties that fall into delinquency to determine if they are vacant and abandoned and make sure they are maintained. Banks and mortgage companies report vacant and abandoned properties to a state registry developed by the state Department of Financial Services. With First Niagara and Carrington Mortgage’s agreement, a total of 13 banks, credit unions and mortgage companies representing roughly 70 percent of the New York market have now agreed to adopt the practices.

“Ensuring abandoned properties do not fall into disrepair not only protects neighborhoods from blight, but also shields homeowners from having to contend with the falling property values, public safety issues and increased taxpayer costs associated with having these zombie properties in their community,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement.

Under current laws, property owners are responsible for their property’s upkeep, and banks and mortgage companies are not required to maintain abandoned properties until they receive a judgment of foreclosure.

WESTMED ADDS OB-GYN PRACTICE Putnam Gynecolo�y & Obstetrics of Greenwich, with Connecticut offices at 55 Holly Hill Lane in Greenwich and at 106 Noroton Ave. in Darien, is joining Purchasebased Westmed Medical Group.

The medical practice reported it serves thousands of patients in Fairfield County and lower Westchester County.

The six board-certified physicians on the staff will remain. They are Michael Schechter, Elizabeth Molinelli, Dzwinka Carroll, Y. Elizabeth Hung, Catherine Berzolla and Linda Reid. In addition to retaining its physicians, the OB-GYN group will retain its staff.

Additional diagnostic services will be introduced over time and will be offered onsite, Westmed said in a statement.

Westmed is staffed by 287 physicians at its nine locations in central and lower Westchester County and now in Fairfield County.

White Plains approves changes to cabaret law Cover charges allowed for some nightclubs

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

fter a year of debate over rules for cabarets, the White Plains Common Council has updated the city code to allow certain nightlife establishments to charge cover fees.

The changes to the city code will allow certain proprietors with a cabaret license to charge patrons entrance fees for events, but some businesses will have to get approved for a live entertainment permit with the Department of Public Safety. The changes to the code also allow cabaret performances to start at noon and last until 3 a.m., and increased the annual fee for a cabaret license from $100 up ‘to $500.

Previously, there was no language in the city code regulating whether cabaret operators could charge cover fees, but starting around 2012 each cabaret license had built-in language that operators could not charge at the door, according to Damon A. Amadio, city building commissioner.

A cabaret is defined in the new code as any area where “musical entertainment, singing, dancing or other form of amusement by performers and/or by patrons” is allowed. This type of entertainment is only allowed in restaurants where food service is available during the operation of the cabaret.

Businesses that play music through the radio or most electronic devices are not considered cabarets and therefore cannot charge cover fees.

In May, the council passed a zoning ordinance to differentiate small and large cabaret forms of entertainment.

The new zoning rule delineated an “accessory cabaret” as a restaurant where the entertainment does not occupy more than 40 percent of the aggregate floor space, not including the bathrooms. A “primary cabaret” is where the entertainment occupies more than 40 percent of the aggregate floor space. The latter is not allowed to be within 300 feet of a dwelling unit.

If accessory cabarets are interested in having live music events, the operators are required to apply for the live entertainment permit in order to charge patrons an entrance fee. These applications must be submitted to the Department of Public Safety at least 10 days in advance of the intended date of the event. Accessory cabarets may not charge cover fees if they are having DJ entertainment.

Primary cabarets, however, may charge covers for any type of entertainment they are providing, including DJs, and are not required to apply for a permit to host live music.

But depending on the event, Amadio said, the Department of Public Safety may inquire for more information about the event.

Amadio said most, if not all, of the cabaret licenses issued and renewed in the past have been for establishments aligned with the accessory cabaret definition.

Any violations of the cabaret law could result in a fine of up to $2,500 for each offense or imprisonment up to 15 days.

The changes come just over a year after the Common Council passed a moratorium on issuing new cabaret licenses as the city considered potential changes to the cabaret law.

In February, the city tossed around the Cabaret law, page 8

White Plains park caps Renaissance Square development

BY COLLEEN WILSON

A

cwilson@westfairinc.com

park in downtown White Plains was dedicated July 9, marking the opening of the site to the public and representing the finishing touch on a more than $1 billion development project.

Louis R. Cappelli was joined by Mayor Thomas M. Roach, the Rev. Richard A. Kunz of the park’s neighbor Grace Church, members of the Common Council and about 50 onlookers to celebrate the completion of what Cappelli called “the last piece of the puzzle” for his company’s Renaissance Square development.

The yet-to-be-named park on Main Street is nestled between the 900,000-sqaure-foot mixed-use development and the quaint Episcopal church that was built in 1865. The 10,000-squarefoot property, the former site of the sales office for The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester hotel, features a small, lighted waterfall at the center and is surrounded by greenery and seating.

“It’s the connecting piece between us, the new, and the church, the historic,” Cappelli WCBJ said.

The park’s completion, however, was met with challenges.

Cappelli said his firm, White Plainsbased Cappelli Organization, signed on to create the park in 2009 — a year that left Cappelli reeling from lawsuits, health problems and debt.

The other hurdle he acknowledged was developing the park as a publicprivate venture; it is open to the public but maintained by The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester.

“Working with the city to try to partner to do a job like this is almost impossible, but it wasn’t,” Cappelli said. “Old administration, new administration, everybody helped us to create what’s here.”

Roach said the park “sends a message about this city about how active and vital our downtown is, and I think that’s worthwhile.”

“Having built City Center and The Ritz, which is what I set out to do in 2003 starting with City Center, this is the, like I said, the last piece of the puzzle,” Cappelli said. “It feels good that my job is done.” 10” wide x 5-58” tall

House sales — From page 1

a mean or average sale price of $866,707 in the second quarter, an increase of less than 1 percent from the same quarter last year.

Analysts at the Hudson Gateway Association said the county’s median and mean prices together “suggests that the Westchester market was in balance as to a smooth distribution across the pricing spectrum.”

The region’s second-quarter sales surge was led by the Orange County market, where the 742 housing units sold in the three-month span marked a more than 30 percent increase in sales volume from 2014.

HGAR analysts noted the Orange County market for several years has been driven by “an abundance of moderately priced properties.” The county’s second-quarter median sale price for a single-family house was down nearly 10 percent from a year earlier, while the mean sale price of a house fell more than 8 percent.

HGAR analysts noted that housing inventory in Orange County has stayed roughly proportional to the rate of sales, “indicating a balanced market with ample choices for prospective purchasers.”

At Houlihan Lawrence, a leading brokerage in the lower Hudson Valley’s luxury homes market, brokers have seen a 21 percent jump in Westchester’s inventory of homes priced at more than $2 million. Pending sales in the luxury market have declined 8 percent, Houlihan Lawrence reported in its recent second-quarter report.

Brothers Stephen Meyers, president and CEO of Houlihan Lawrence in Rye Brook, and Chris Meyers, the company’s managing principal, in their second-quarter executive summary said demand from buyers is especially weak in the $4 million-plus segment of the market. “There is plenty of competition, and buyers have a wide selection to choose from,” they wrote. “It may be time for sellers to re-think the value proposition offered by their property.”

At the other end of the Westchester market, demand is surging for starter homes, with many communities seeing double-digit increases in sales levels for homes priced below $500,000, according to Houlihan Lawrence.

And homes sold at prices closer to their asking price in the second quarter than they did a year ago in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties, according to the Meyers brothers.

They noted the market could see higher mortgage rates, which in recent years have stayed at historic lows, as soon as September.

A rise in rates “gives an edge to well-positioned homes that are marketed correctly,” they wrote. “They will find the right buyers, who are motivated to lock in sooner rather than later, and beat the clock on rate hikes.”

The principals at Houlihan Lawrence see new prospects for Westchester’s real estate market in the millennial generation of 18- to 34-year-olds. “New people are looking to put down roots and finally have the resources to be serious buyers,” they said.

Entergy — From page 1

Westchester counties, is called the Hudson Highlands.

Enter� y Nuclear Wholesale Commodities, the operator of Indian Point and a business segment of Enter�y Corp., took legal action in October 2012 against the DEC and the state Department of State, hoping to annul the expansion of the environmental protection area on the Hudson because mile 42 runs adjacent to the nuclear power plant in Buchanan.

The owner of Indian Point, which uses about 2.5 billion gallons of water a day from the river to cool its reactors, argued that the scientific basis supporting the DEC’s decision to amend the mileage was flawed.

The appeals court agreed with the

lower court that the DEC and Department of State had “a rational, scientific basis for their conclusions so as to support the July 2012 modification,” according to the decision, written by Justice Christine M. Clark and entered on July 9. In a footnote, Clark, quoting a past state decision, wrote that “the issue here is not one of substantial evidence but, rather, whether the (agency’s) determination has a rational basis.”

Enter�y had to prove that basis for a new regulation was irrational or unreasonable, according to state law.

Pleased with the outcome was the office of state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.

“The Hudson River and its ecosystems are among New York’s precious natural resources. This decision will help put protections in place that will ensure the health and vitality of the river and its wildlife for generations to come,” according to a statement from Matt Mittenthal, a spokesman

for Schneiderman.

Jerry Nappi, a spokesman for Enter�y, wrote in an email that the company is “considering the decision and our potential options.”

Enter�y has 30 days from the date of the decision to decide whether to appeal to the Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court.

Indian Point is involved in other litigation as it awaits a decision from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on whether to renew the licenses for the plant’s two reactors. Enter�y applied to be relicensed with the federal agency in 2007, but the process has been held up for years as the company litigates a variety of issues with the state.

The license for the facility’s Unit 2 reactor expired in September 2013 and Unit 3’s license will expire at the end of this year.

Because Enter�y applied for license renewals more than five years in advance, it was granted extended licenses until the legal

issues have been resolved.

In another case in December, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Indian Point and said the facility is exempt from the state’s Coastal Management Plan, which also helps protect the river’s habitats. The Department of State is appealing the ruling with its first brief due Sept. 17.

A separate problem Enter�y is facing with the DEC has to do with acquiring a Water Quality Certificate from the state, which is necessary as part of the license renewal process with the NRC. The crux of the issue is determining the best option to keep fish and larvae out of the river water Indian Point uses to cool its reactors.

Hearings on the alternatives being considered – which include forcing summer outages during fish spawning season, installing expensive cooling towers or using wedge-wire screens to keep fish out – are scheduled from Sept. 14 to Oct. 2.

How to balance benefits and profits We’re not sure what to do about health care. We’re worried about getting hit with increases in premiums this year, which could eat into our profits. How do we sort it out?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Figure out what your company can and can’t afford to pay. Health care has been in constant change for the last several years for every company — it’s time to discuss that reality with your employees.

Considering encouraging employees to turn to your state’s exchange for insurance? Be sure you have someone lined up who can help explain all the policy options. Make sure you can explain what you’re doing and why.

Look at your ratios. Set a target range for all salaries and benefits calculated as compared to revenue and to gross profit. As you consider adding or adjusting benefits, and paying out bonuses, make sure that your changes don’t blow the target ratio.

Ideally, any growth in benefits and bonus payouts comes from growth of the company. Forecast increases in revenue and gross profit, and figure out if you’ll need any additional personnel. Deduct that increased personnel plus any material costs from the increase in forecasted revenue and gross profit. What’s left over is the amount of income you can use to build up profits, pay additional benefits and bonuses, invest in savings and infrastructure and use to pay taxes on profits.

Not sure whether your salaries and benefits are in line with your industry? Turn to your industry association for advice and benchmarks. Some industries have stats posted online, so check that as well. You can also contact peers in your industry across the country and ask them what they’re spending. Keep in mind that both coasts tend to have a higher cost of living.

Many companies struggle as they take on additional health care costs, benefits and pay increases without sufficient revenue growth. If that’s a problem your company is facing, be honest about what’s going on before potentially sending the company into a financial black hole.

Raises and additional benefits should happen as a result of increased profits. Over the past several years, companies have had to absorb a number of mandates regarding how employees are paid and what benefits they receive. The cost of these mandates is equivalent to annual cost-of-living pay raises and then some.

Many companies have taken on substantial increases in cost of pay without seeing significant growth in revenue or improve-

ment in profitability through increased productivity.

Show your employees how much the company pays on their behalf, above and beyond salary. Start with federal insurance and unemployment contributions; don’t forget to add in the costs of medical, dental and life insurance, child care, time off from work, and any other benefit programs your company provides.

Have a rationale and set limits on how benefits are distributed and paid for. The simplest way to handle health care is to pay for theDevine company’s individual premium or a TWB percentage of that. Employees who want to WCBJ elect more coverage 7.375” w x 7.125” h for their family can do 1/8/15 so and use a portion of their paycheck to cover the cost.

Be careful when considering higher

ly more productive. Those who can afford to see a doctor regularly are more likely to be healthy and productive. Employees who can afford to stay home when they’re sick recover more quickly. Employees who know their children are safe are less distracted.

The list goes on.

benefit costs for managers. Keep in mind that managers tend to be more expensive in salary. Loading additional costs onto an already expensive manager may make that person so costly that they can’t prove they can deliver enough profits to allow the company to break even.

When getting ready to give out raises, calculate the raise as a percentage of the existing salary. One company decided to give employees an hourly raise, without realizing it was a 10 percent to 15 percent increase in pay across the board. They would have been better off giving this money as a bonus and making it clear to employees that it was only going to continue if profits stayed up.

There are some great reasons for providing employees with benefits. Employees who take time off regularly tend to be significant-

The office of the New York state attorney general recently reached a settlement with Hyundai of White Plains LLC over what the attorney general said were deceptive advertising practices.

The company, on Westchester Avenue, will pay $32,500 in penalties and reform the way it advertises, according to a statement released by Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman’s office.

Many of the online and print ads from Hyundai of White Plains showed its vehicles priced with discounts or rebates only available for certain potential customers, such as military rebates or loyalty rebates for customers who bought a vehicle within the last six months, the attorney general’s office said.

Other problems with the advertising included the use of footnotes or asterisks that modified the “principal message of an ad” and failing to mention promotions that were available for a limited time.

The settlement is part of a larger crackdown on deceptive practices at auto dealerships in the state.

Last month, Schneiderman’s office announced a $13.5 million settlement with three dealerships,

idea of barring entrance fees and forcing cabarets to close at 1 a.m.

Business owners criticized those rules, according to previous reports by the Business Journal, saying the fees are essential in order to cover the cost of entertainment and that early closure times could deter young professionals from moving to White Plains.

Not everyone was pleased with the final outcome.

At a special meeting convened by the Common Council on June 29, Councilwoman Beth Smayda voiced concerns about crowding outside of cabaret establishments.

“Another protection to having unruly crowds would be to not allow queuing outside on the streets, which could cause a lot of language or noise for neighbors,” she said.

In response to her comment at the meeting, Amadio said “queuing is inevitable” if restaurants are allowed to charge at the door.

Mayor Thomas M. Roach said the response to the issue of possible disorderly conduct from people lining up outside is to deny those establishments a permit or cabaret license going forward.

“If you have someone who is continually having a line in the street that’s disorderly and is a problem, then they’re not getting another cabaret license because we’re going to have a history of problems that are associated with it,” he said.

At the Common Council meeting held July 6 to vote on the amendments, Smayda was the only member of the seven-person council who voted against the ordinance.

Councilwoman Nadine Hunt-Robinson said she had some initial concerns about the revisions but that the entertainment permit provides safeguards in a way that “balances out the interests of the businesses that want to have the cabaret” and “balances out with respect to safety and those who live in the surrounding areas.”

BY LAURENCE P. GOTTLIEB

The state of the Hudson Valley economy

A

s we invest in the Hudson Valley’s future, it’s critical we have an honest discussion about the evolving importance of science, technolo�y, engineering, the arts and math — known collectively as STEaM — in workforce training and the potential these areas have to influence economic growth in our region.

In recent years, business leaders and public officials have stressed the development of STEaM skills, but often there is no comprehensive plan on how and when to introduce STEaM-based learning into the workforce.

The truth is STEaM skills empower Hudson Valley residents by providing a straighter path to potentially higher earning levels within our regional business community.

Recently, at the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp.’s second annual State of the Hudson Valley Economy: Full STEaM Ahead! presentation, HVEDC was privileged to have global labor expert Paul Harrington, director of Drexel University’s Center for Labor Markets and Policy, elaborate on the importance of STEaM development by delivering this point to more than 200 business and community leaders at the conference at SUNY New Paltz. Harrington shared a lifetime’s worth of data on the economic attainment opportunities available to those in STEaM careers, while helping us understand the regional leadership’s part in developing a STEaM-educated workforce throughout the Hudson Valley.

There is no denying the income potential for workers in STEaM-related careers remains high. Average salaries in the Hudson Valley for employees in the computer science, mathematics, architecture and engineering fields are all greater than $80,000 annually.

For regional physical science and life science careers, salaries increase to more than $90,000. Despite these possibilities, sadly, only 5 to 7 percent of Hudson Valley workers have jobs in these sectors; therefore, to compete with other states for business attraction and retention, we must dramatically increase the area’s pool of STEaM-trained workers.

For the second year in a row, in close consultation with global real estate management firm JLL, HVEDC has released its Business Climate Survey, which gives us greater insight as to the economic perceptions of key business entrepreneurs and nonprofit executives throughout the region. The optimism of survey participants fell slightly this year in regard to their perception of the Hudson Valley economy. Downward trends persisted through questions related to overall business climate, hiring expectations and projected revenue.

These survey findings make HVEDC’s continuing efforts toward driving change and development even more important.

Opportunities for employment in STEaM fields are available to the Hudson Valley’s multigenerational workforce, although deeper analytical research into the local communities found baby boomers are the leading economic influencers. Although much attention is paid nationally to the up-and-coming millennial generation, in the Hudson Valley region, baby boomers have the highest percentage of aggregate household income, at 47 percent. This outweighs the aggregate household incomes of both Generation Xers (33 percent) and millennials (5 percent). We need to rebalance limited regional resources, to in turn encourage the development of millennial job and startup opportunities, without sacrificing the significant contributions baby boomers make as solo entrepreneurs as well as those among the ranks of C-suite management.

Equally, when it comes to increasing involvement in STEaM careers, we are looking at the current workforce as only one part of the equation. Driving interest in STEaM skills among even younger generations — as early as elementary school — is a critical part of ensuring the continued growth of the Hudson Valley economy for years to come.

Bluntly, we need a better birth-to-death model to train, employ and keep residents actively engaged in the Hudson Valley economy at every stage of life.

Looking ahead, it will be important to cultivate the younger generations’ abilities in STEaM skills and to mesh these subjects with other areas of academia. There is a widespread economic shift toward the increased need for specialized services, and we want to make sure our workforce is properly prepared.

Survey respondents felt that the Hudson Valley offered children a better than average opportunity of securing a good primary and secondary education. Through these existing educational channels, we can provide a comprehensive approach to learning that enables students to pursue high-level careers.

Teaching STEaM skills to future workers is a direct investment in our region’s economy.

Even the simplest of jobs will soon require STEaM skills. A STEaM-skilled workforce can make the Hudson Valley a hub for technological and science-based companies. As a result, these companies will create more highpaying, local jobs for our STEaM-skilled workforce. In time, we’ll see our dedication to educating our community come full circle, as we move full STEaM ahead into a brighter future.

“Engineering also encompasses cancer research, immunology, ‘synthetic biology’ and neuroprosthetics.

An engineering program in Westchester will help propel The Innovation Economy.”

HOT SECTOR UPDATE:

How Bringing an Engineering School to Westchester Will Bolster The Innovation Economy exploding, the need for a new generation of engineers has never been greater, says Marissa Brett, WCA president.

If the companies founded by MIT graduates formed an independent nation, their revenues would propel that nation to the 17th-largest economy in the world, according to a Kauffman Foundation study. But MIT alumni, drawn from all over the world, remain heavily in Massachusetts, where they provide significant economic benefit to their local and regional economies. Could bringing an engineering school to Westchester have similar positive results?

“Unquestionably, yes!” says Bob Roth, a professional engineer and principal at JMC Site Consultants in Armonk. “An engineering school would provide a source of employees for businesses who are here or want to come here.

The trouble is Westchester has talented high school students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) who leave and never come back.” The MIT study isn’t surprising, notes Roth, who says companies recruiting Bob Roth JMC Site Consultants

top engineering grads from distant schools find it is prohibitively expensive. “Students go to Boston, like what they see and stay. An engineering school here will help Westchester stay competitive.”

Making Westchester more competitive with technology clusters located elsewhere in the nation is exactly why the WCA recently announced the launch of a feasibility study and the formation of a committee (on which Roth serves) to determine the viability of attracting an engineering school to the County.

“Engineering is about infrastructure, buildings, and roads, but it also encompasses cancer research, immunology, ‘synthetic biology’ and neuroprosthetics. Technology is not all about building Internet applications, but also about bioengineering. Engineering and the life sciences are converging, and we must excel in research and invention in order to stay competitive,” Brett explains.

Customer Satisfaction and Service Excellence

Event Sponsors: One-Stop Employment Center of Westchester and Putnam and RPW Group

A lot has changed since Marshall Field introduced the “customer is always right” approach to customer service.

We may be living in a social-media driven marketplace, but students in the WCA’s Hudson Valley Workforce Academy course, Customer Satisfaction and Service Excellence, learned that personal interactions are still critical to the success of any business. Here are the top three takeaways from the class, which wrapped up in June:

SAVE THE DATES

1. FOLLOW THE PLATINUM RULE: Remember The Golden Rule? In customer service, the Platinum Rule—treating others the way they want to be treated—works better. Service is not about what you want to give; it’s about what others want to receive.

2. ANTICIPATE PROBLEMS: Providing a good customer experience means being in “service netting,” vs. “service recovery” mode. Service netting means to proactively fix problems before they happen. In recovery mode, businesses are reactive—responding to an issue in order to regain the trust and loyalty of their customers.

3. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO EMPATHY: All businesses need to tune into their customers, and understand that empathy is not the same as sympathy. It’s about understanding what other people want; it’s about putting yourselves in your customer’s shoes; and it’s about picking up on signals customers are sending in order to provide the best experience possible.

CHALLENGING CAREERS

BY CATHERINE PORTMAN-LAUX

Home health aide recounts trials and triumphs

A

person couldn’t ask for a more rewarding career than being paid to do good, Cold Spring’s Peg Lijoi has concluded after serving as an independent home health care aide.

Lijoi is hired by clients or their families to pick up the household slack. A typical day might find her running errands, taking a patient out to dine or cooking a favorite meal.

But, then, there’s no such thing as a typical day, says Lijoi, who has worked primarily with Alzheimer’s patients. She tells of the scholarly retired professor with whom she had many interesting conversations. “But, I had to hear many stories a few times over, because he would forget that he told them to me,” she says. “He loved going to book stores, but I had to keep track of previously purchased books because he would buy the same ones over and over again.

“He loved to eat out. After we left a restaurant, he would say, ‘Let’s go get something to eat now.’ I’d remind him that we had just finished eating. I then began to make it a habit, before we left the table, to ask him, ‘Does your stomach feel full?’ I hoped that

his full stomach would remind him that he did not have to eat.”

To jog his memory of events, Lijoi made a scrapbook of places they went together. “I added movie ticket stubs, restaurant takeout menus, brochures when we visited Boscobel or Stonecrop or other local places,” she says.

Lijoi poignantly remembers successfully aiding cupid. “I worked with this dear gentleman whose wife was in a nursing home,” she says. “I took him to see her twice weekly. He loved his wife with his entire being. I fought back tears watching how he would console her as she carried on and begged to go home. He would promise her that she was coming home, but she was bedridden and the chances of her coming out of that miserable place were not looking good.

“At her request I made sure to cook him the same meals that she used to prepare. I wanted to see her home once more, even if it was for a short time. So, I set in motion a search for a full-time aide to live there.

The family resisted, because having mom back home would eat up money of dad’s

that would otherwise be left to them. It was a battle, but we got her home. They were a couple again in their own home, truly together until death do part, as in their wedding vows.

“Then there was a client who refused to get dressed and could not be torn from wearing a mink coat over her naked body. I donned another mink coat and drew her to a mirror, where we laughed at how ridiculous the two of us looked. That solved the problem.”

Raised in Central Islip with a twin brother and six other siblings, Lijoi learned compassion and patience from her mother, a geriatric nurse. Marriage brought her to Cold Spring, where she became known as the person to go to with troubles. Her most recent independent philanthropies involved saving small farms that would otherwise close down. In June, she raised $2,000 in five hours in an event to help a Poughquag farmer whose greenhouses were demolished in a hurricane.

Lijoi has a 28-year-old daughter, Dara, a wine distributor in part named for Lijoi’s mother, Sarah, and a 24-year-old son, Tolon,

Peg Lijoi, of Cold Spring, prepares to take a client on an outing.

t. John Fisher College, an independent, liberal arts institution in Rochester, N.Y., has offered a doctoral program in Westchester County residents’ backyards at The College of New Rochelle (CNR) since 2009, and the program continues to grow.

The Doctor of Education in Executive Leadership (Ed.D.) is an accelerated doctoral program offered

by Fisher’s Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Sch ool of Education and provides candidates with an opportunity to develop the critical leadership skills and knowledge that are required in today’s increasingly complex, diverse and information-driven organizations. This unique program was developed to provide an attractive and viable alternative to traditional doctoral programs in educational leadership. To date, the program has enrolled 20 cohorts and graduated 231 students.

CNR was the first extension site for the program, followed by Onondaga Community College in Syracuse in 2013.

The program is designed for managers and executives in education, business, health care, nonprofit organizations, the military and other related organizations.

The accelerated format allows students to complete their coursework and dissertation in as little as 28 months. Classes meet on alternate Friday evenings and Saturdays to accommodate the schedules of working professionals.

The cohort-paced model is designed around a multidisciplinary program of study in executive leadership. Courses are offered sequentially, organized by topical themes and aligned with New York state, national and institutional standards. In addition, the program includes professional development opportunities and seminars conducted by experts in the field of leadership. Candidates will also complete field experiences that align with the coursework.

The curriculum is based on theory and processes that are essential for effective organizational leadership and theory related to practice. Graduates will walk away with the ability to plan strategically, make ethical and fair decisions, maximize the talents and skills of their employees and much more.

The sequence of courses and field experiences are organized into six interrelated thematic modules. Each module includes topics, activities and assignments that reflect key concepts that impact leadership at the executive level. Some of the concepts covered include law, politics, finance, governance, diversity, human relations and development, data and informed decision-making, policy and ethics.

For more information about the Doctor of Education in Executive Leadership (Ed.D.) at CNR, visit www.sjfc. edu/edd or call St. John Fisher College’s Office of Graduate Admissions at 585-385-8161.

Central Connecticut State University

ONE OF CONNECTICUT’S PREMIER COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES

C

entral Connecticut State University (CCSU) is a vibrant learningcentered community dedicated to teaching and to scholarship. Education balances academic challenge with personal support, leading students to become thoughtful, responsible and successful. A network of study-abroad opportunities, overseas inter-institutional arrangements and other internationally focused educational programming prepares our students to become global citizens, responsive to a world of cultural differences and able to succeed in an increasingly international marketplace. Our faculty’s commitment to scholarly inquiry ensures the intellectual vitality of our classrooms.

One of Connecticut’s premier comprehensive public universities, CCSU comprises the Carol A. Ammon College of Liberal

Arts & Social Sciences and the Schools of Business; Education & Professional Studies; Engineering, Science, & Technology; and Graduate Studies.

Our programs are nationally accredited

by AACSB, ABET, ACCE, ACS, ATMAE, CCNE, CSAB, CSW, NAIT, NCATE, and NEASC. The University is one of only two public universities in the state to offer ABET-accredited undergraduate engineering programs and the only university with a wide variety of engineering technology and technology management programs, complementing its STEM discipline programs. CCSU is also one of only two public institutions in the state to offer an AACSB-accredited undergraduate program in the School of Business.

CCSU offers undergraduate and graduate programs through the master’s and sixth-year levels, the MBA, and the Ed.D.

in Educational Leadership. Committed to educational excellence and access, the University works to keep tuition low and to provide a robust financial aid program that has grown to more than $100 million annually. The college guide Affordable Colleges Online recognizes CCSU as one of the top “low-cost colleges with graduates who earn high starting salaries.”

CCSU’s educational excellence has been nationally honored. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recognized CCSU’s many community outreach activities by selecting the University as a “Community Engagement Institution.” The Open Doors Report ranks the University’s study abroad and course abroad programs 17th and 23rd in the nation.

They challenge students AND provide the support they need to succeed. They take pride in making themselves available outside the classroom for one-on-one education, advice and guidance. As one student recently said, “There are great professors at CCSU who are willing to help out every step of the way.”

CCSU professors are dedicated scholars and have won national and international awards for their scholarship, but they consider teaching their first calling. They are experts in their fields and they know how to make learning exciting and rewarding.

Our low 16-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio keeps most classes small; nearly half have 20 or fewer students. This ensures that professors get to know their students as individuals.

Our commitment to student success begins with providing the tools and the support to complete their degree in four years.

Whether students choose to “finish in 4” or decide to take longer, our student support programs are designed to help!

Our 18 NCAA Division I programs are a major source of campus pride and excitement. Blue Devil football, men’s basketball, women’s and men’s soccer, men’s track and cross country and our women’s swimming and diving teams have been frequent Northeast Conference Champions, with a slew of tournament trophies, too!

The campus features several new academic buildings. A new residence hall, housing some 600 students, opens in fall 2015, and the entire campus is being renovated to provide one of the most attractive, convenient and modern campuses in the state.

Central is the state’s oldest public university and we are proud of the University’s historical role as a significant resource for Connecticut.

CCSU serves approximately 12,500 students—10,000 undergraduate and 2,500 graduate. Our distinguished alumni include successful business men and women, the first Latina state supreme court justice, CEOs in a wide range of industries and corporations, leading academics at national universities, award-winning educators and educational leaders, trainers and coaches at high schools and colleges as well as top NFL and MLB teams, journalists, novelists, artists—each and all demonstrating that success begins with CCSU.

Westchester Community College Supports Local Businesses

W

ESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE has always supported the business community and we continue to provide new resources to help bolster the local economy.

This support includes credit classes for the thousands of credit students who move on after graduation to begin their careers in the local workforce.

Several years ago, we opened the $40 million Gateway Center on the main campus in Valhalla, housing a variety of programs and services in an innovative and exciting learning environment. Gateway provides resources for students, including immigrants and international students, as well as businesses and community-based organizations. It encompasses the institution’s English Language Institute, the county’s largest English language acquisition program and the college’s business programs.

As all of these various programs work together to form a synergistic whole, the business community benefits from a highly trained workforce, which will include many new employees.

Meanwhile, the college has worked to replicate this effort on a national scale, creating the Community College Consor-

tium for Immigrant Education (CCCIE). It is raising the profile of immigrant education among community college administrators and educators and their professional associations. Teresita Bango Wisell, CCIE director and the college’s Vice President of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, has established a blue-ribbon panel of experts in the field of immigrant education.

Federal Grant Gives SCSU Nursing Ed Students a Shot in The Arm ‘FORGIVABLE’ LOANS OFFERED TO STUDENTS SEEKING TEACHING JOB

N

EW HAVEN – Students pursuing an advanced degree in nursing education at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) may have most of their tuition, fees and books paid for through a federal grant if they complete the program and become a nursing teacher.

The federal Health Resources and Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Health Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded SCSU a $430,673 grant for loans to students enrolled in two degree programs – the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in nursing education and the Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) (nursing education track) for the 2015-16 academic year.

The Ed.D. program is a collaborative project between SCSU and Western Connecticut State University, and students enrolled in that program at WCSU also are eligible for the loans.

The loans are deemed partially “forgivable,” meaning that a portion of the money will not have to be paid back if students finish their degree requirements and work as a faculty member at an accredited school of nursing for one to four years. Students who teach for one year after earning their degree will have 20 percent of their loan forgiven. That proportion rises to 40 percent after two years of teaching, 60 percent after three years and 85 percent after four years.

“We are delighted to be a recipient of this federal grant for the third time in the last four years,” said Barbara Aronson, SCSU professor of nursing and coordinator of its Ed.D. in nursing education program. “This is the most amount of money that we’ve received and it’s the first time that our master’s degree students are eligible. This award helps in our efforts to increase the number of highly qualified nurses at a time of a worsening nursing shortage.”

Aronson said she anticipates about 15 students will be enrolled in the M.S.N. in nursing education program this fall. In addition, 13 students are finishing their dissertations in the Ed.D. program this fall, while another 18 students also are enrolled.

Patricia Zibluk, director of SCSU’s Sponsored Programs and Research, noted that the university will provide an 11-percent grant match ($47,853), bringing the total amount of loan money available to the nursing students to $478,526.

“Collectively, over the last several years,

Two Programs.

Endless Possibilities.

about $1 million in loans have been made available to our nursing students,” Zibluk said. “That goes a long way in helping to generate more nursing educators, which in turns, allows us to teach more nursing students.”

Students are required to take 51 credits to complete the Ed.D. program, which consists of on-line courses that are taken on a parttime basis. It typically takes about three years and a total cost of about $50,000 to complete the program.

“WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE A RECIPIENT OF THIS FEDERAL GRANT FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS ... THIS AWARD HELPS IN OUR EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED NURSES AT A TIME OF A WORSENING NURSING SHORTAGE.”

Graduate Certificate in Accounting • Start your journey to becoming a CPA with our Certificate in Accounting Program for non-accounting undergraduate majors. Our program provides the necessary accounting credits to sit for the CPA exam.

• Undergraduate business majors graduating from the program are eligible to sit for the CPA exam. A track within the MBA has been designed to allow non-business undergrads to earn necessary business credits.

• Flexible 27-credit program can be completed in as little as 12 months. Day and evening classes available.

For more information: AccountingGrad@SouthernCT.edu

— BARBARA ARONSON

Flexible MBA Offerings The nursing education track for M.S.N. students consists of 42 to 45 credits, which can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. The cost for students typically runs about $30,000 to complete the program, depending upon whether they are full- or part-time and how many courses they take per semester.

Zibluk noted that when SCSU first applied for the grant in 2012, only Ph.D. programs were eligible. But she said that once Southern explained how Ed.D. programs actually were more targeted to help increase nurse educators, such programs were added to the eligibility list.

In 2012, SCSU launched one of only a handful of Ed.D. nursing education programs in the country. Most doctoral programs fall under the Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) or D.N.P. (Doctor of Nursing Practice) categories. The former focuses on research, while the latter centers on clinical skills.

But the Ed.D. program is geared toward developing nursing teachers.

• Earn your MBA without putting your career on hold. Traditional MBA offered evenings (full or part-time); accelerated MBA offered Saturdays (in a hybrid format; online and classroom).

• State-of the-art facility featuring high-tech trading room, class and seminar rooms, and conference space.

• Outstanding faculty, vibrant connection to the business community.

Smoked out?

Little effect seen in ban on indoor e-cigarette use

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

C

heryl Richter opened CV Vape Den LLC in Port Chester last February in an effort, she said, to help friends and family kick the tobacco habit.

A former smoker of more than 30 years, Richter said electronic cigarettes — commonly referred to as e-cigarettes and their use referred to as “vaping” — helped wean her off tobacco, and she wanted to help other conventional tobacco smokers, many in their 50s and 60s, do the same at her vape shop and lounge.

Now, she said, the positive message she has been trying to spread around e-cigarettes is being threatened after the Westchester County Board of Legislators last month voted unanimously to ban the use of electronic cigarettes in the workplace and in restaurants and bars.

The goal of the bill, proposed by board Majority Leader Catherine Borgia, a Democrat, was to safeguard nonsmokers from the chemicals of e-cigarettes whose effects are still being evaluated.

Borgia cited studies that have shown chemicals in e-cigarette vapor to have negative side effects, but Richter cited alternative peer-reviewed studies that she believes show otherwise.

“It is important for electronic cigarette users to follow the same rules as cigarette smokers and not unwillingly put people in contact with the vapors,” Borgia said in June.

“People working in the next cubicle, or eating at a restaurant next to a person using an electronic cigarette … should not be exposed to the potentially dangerous products being emitted from these devices.”

The other motive behind the legislation, Borgia said, was to prevent children and teens from trying and possibly becoming addicted to e-cigarettes, which are offered in flavors such as cotton candy and bubble gum. According to a December federal study, e-cigarette smoking among high school students for the first time topped traditional smoking, partly due to a 61 percent rise between 2012 and 2013.

“We have a much older clientele,” said

A case contains items for e-cigarettes.

Richter, a Stamford resident and New Rochelle native. “Many were hardened smokers. These are adults and not kids playing around looking to try e-cigarettes.”

One customer of hers in particular, a New Rochelle nurse, said she was accustomed to using her e-cigarette in restaurants and did not believe she was disturbing other patrons.

Once she learned about the ban, “She was absolutely floored,” said Richter, who co-owns the Vape Den with area native Christopher Maoist. “And this is a nurse we’re talking about.”

Borgia said that before introducing the bill, she heard feedback from several Westchester bar and restaurant owners who wished to make clear what they felt were vague guidelines. Some cited the odor associated with e-cigarettes that irked some customers, while others simply found it difficult to enforce their own ban without a county backing.

“This gives bar owners and restaurant owners a way to say ‘You can’t do that in

here,” Borgia said in an interview with the Business Journal. “I can’t say we’ve heard too much negative feedback from restaurants or bars.”

While e-cigarette users could previously use their devices inside at bars and restaurants, Richter said they are now relegated to outdoor smoking sections with conventional cigarettes smokers, which could reintroduce them to smoking.

She said many Manhattan vape users began coming to Westchester bars and lounges after New York City enacted a similar law banning e-cigarettes in April 2014.

Now they’re not. She’s not so much worried about her store’s business affected by the ban — the law does not extend to vape shops and lounges.

“If anybody’s business is impacted directly it’s the bars and nightclubs,” she said.

A White Plains bar that did not wish to be identified said that business has not been impacted because most customers had already been under the impression that vap-

ing indoors was considered taboo.

E-cigarettes can come in various forms, including traditional cigarettes or cigars, pens or memory sticks. Most are batterypowered and use a vaporizer to create a water vapor inhalant instead of tobacco smoke. Still, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, e-cigarettes contain nicotine and other addictive substances found in tobacco. There are more than 250 different e-cigarette brands on the market.

Often marketed as a safe alternative to cigarettes and for those looking to quit smoking, customers must still be at least 18 years old to purchase them.

Westchester County’s ban, which went into effect June 1, is enforced by the county Department of Health. The county’s Smoke Free Work Site Laws, passed in 2003, prohibit the smoking of conventional cigarettes in bars and restaurants. In January, Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a statewide ban on e-cigarettes in all indoor places where smoking is already banned.

Make time for midyear planning

E

ven with half of the year in the books, many small-business owners wait until December or January to assess their business and identify ways to improve its financial performance. Yet making time in June or July for a midyear check-in — when you have a good idea of your business’ needs — may be one of the best times to help your business save time and money, and operate more efficiently in the long run.

As a banker, I see the benefits of doing a midyear review first hand. A midyear review can help a business owner evaluate what lies ahead on the fiscal horizon and plan accordingly. The key to making the review effective is to keep it focused on the outcomes you want. Here are five key areas every business owner should consider at midyear to help make the rest of the year a success.

Evaluate business expenses

The handshake is just the beginning…

At Lakeland Bank, the relationships we develop with customers are governed by the principles of trustworthiness: honesty, integrity and reliability.

Understanding how profitable your business has been year to date can help you evaluate your current position and modify your financial goals as needed. If you don’t already do it, keep your business and personal accounts separate. Business checking and credit accounts that are kept separate from personal accounts can help you maintain accurate and complete records of all business-related income and expenses. Keeping separate records will also help you as you look for ways to minimize expenses and improve cash flow. A best practice is to track your cash flow on a monthly basis, which can help you improve cash flow projections and better plan for recurring expenses and business expansions.

Assess your business plan

Every small business should have a formal, written business plan to help with business decisions and strategic planning.

According to a recent Wells Fargo survey, business owners who said they had a formal plan reported much greater optimism for 2015. If you don’t have one or if your plan hasn’t been updated in a long time, now is the time to consider writing or updating your business plan. The process of putting your goals in writing will help you focus on long-term business objectives and the steps needed to achieve them. (Among free online resources is the Business Plan Center that Wells Fargo offers).

Prepare for transitions

While you’re developing or refreshing your business plan, it’s also a good time to

look at your transition plan. As a business owner, it’s never too early to start planning for the future. There are many options to think about — such as whether you want to sell your business, pass it to a family member, cash out now or wind down over time — which can make transition planning seem like a daunting task. For this reason, it’s helpful to start the process of exit planning several years before you plan to make the transition. Four important steps to complete when preparing a transition plan are: • identifying your business exit planning goals and objectives; • determining what the company is worth; • identifying transition options, including sources of funding or financing for the transition; and • developing an implementation strate�y and timeline.

Rethink your payment options

Now also is the time to evaluate all of the payment options you offer customers to determine needed updates, including whether to transition to chip card/ EMV acceptance for credit card payments.

Accepting advanced technologies like credit and debit cards embedded with chips (EMV cards) is one important step to strengthen security, and merchants are encouraged to upgrade their equipment by Oct. 1, when the fraud liability shift occurs.

It’s important for small-business owners to understand and research this new payment method now so they are prepared by October.

Think taxes

It can be easy to lose sight of the need for year-round tax planning for your business. The more proactive you can be with managing and filing your tax returns, the better. Spend time reviewing your tax entries for the first half of the year to ensure you’ve captured all expenses, especially for things like cars that are used for business and personal use. If you haven’t met with your tax professional recently, now is a good time to go over key filing dates and deadlines like quarterly tax payments, and stay organized and prepared on business taxes.

Marcus Cobbe was recently named head of small-business strate�y for Connecticut, New York and New Jersey for Wells Fargo.

Bank to lay off 42 Yonkers employees

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

S

terling National Bank will lay off 42 workers in October at two of its recently acquired Yonkers offices as it shuffles and reorganizes staff following its parent company Sterling Bancorp’s completed merger with Hudson Valley Holding Corp.

The layoffs in Yonkers were among 59 planned layoffs this fall recently reported

by Montebello-based Sterling National Bank

to the state Department of Labor. Forty-one affected employees are at the headquarters branch of the former Hudson Valley Bank, now operating as Sterling National, at 21 Scarsdale Road. One employee will be laid off at the former Hudson Valley Bank branch at 35 E. Grassy Sprain Road in Yonkers.

Rodney Whitwell, chief operating officer of Sterling National Bank, said the Scarsdale Road office will be refurbished by its new owner and “will continue to be our

Regeron tops list of best NY stocks

headquarters” in Yonkers.

Sterling also will maintain its Rockland County corporate office at 400 Rell Blvd. in Montebello. Eight workers there will be included in the layoffs that will begin on Oct. 5, the bank notified the Labor Department.

Eight employees will be laid off at three Sterling bank branches in Manhattan, and one worker will be affected at Sterling’s Long Island branch in Woodbury.

Whitwell said the bank is eliminating overlapping positions created by Sterling

Bancorp’s $538 million deal to acquire Hudson Valley Holding Corp. that closed last month. The merged banking institutions have approximately $11.2 billion in combined assets, $6.9 billion in gross loans and over $8.4 billion in deposits, according to Sterling National Bank.

The Sterling COO said the company is “going slowly on new hires” so as to keep open positions for current bank employees whose jobs are being eliminated in the merger.
