Beware the zombies ABANDONED HOMES MORE THAN JUST EYESORES

roken windows, boarded-up doors, overgrown lawns.

These are just a few signs of the abandoned, dilapidated so-called “zombie homes” that can wreak havoc on neighborhoods.

Officials assert that zombie homes, those neglected houses stuck in prolonged foreclosure proceedings, can be magnets for crime and drag down surrounding property values. But a new $13 million statewide initiative aims

to give a select group of communities a helping hand to deal with the blight.

The Zombie Remediation and Prevention Initiative invited the 100 communities in New York that have the most significant zombie-home problem to apply for a piece of that funding. Among the group were four Westchester cities: Yonkers, Peekskill, Mount Vernon and White Plains.

Dawning of a new Millennia in New Rochelle

ony Hammel presented plans for more than a new apartment building when he met with New Rochelle development officials last month.

He also shared a vision for a dis-

tinct downtown enclave that he says can compete with large-scale developments.

Hammel is in the process of creating a neighborhood.

His immediate project is the $30 million Millennia, a 6-story, 110-unit apartment building at 22 Burling Lane.

The greater idea is to develop

the Burling triangle, a swath of land bounded by Burling Lane, a two-block-long street, and by Interstate 95 and Memorial Highway.

The triangle is positioned between New Rochelle Transit Center and Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital. Yet it is somewhat isolated, in that the interstate runs through a road cut that blocks access to the transit center.

“It’s a cool little neighborhood,” Hammel said. “It’s tired but ripe for development.”

Hammel and his brother, William, are principals in 22 Burling Development LLC, the company that is building the

Millennia, and co-founders of ELD Properties and Equity Land Developers LLC. They are familiar with Burling Lane because their grandfather owned a house there. In 2002, they bought the house and nearby properties. Originally, they wanted to build condominiums but the project was stalled by litigation. By the time the lawsuit was resolved, the Great Recession had changed the housing market.

They built rental apartments instead. The 30-unit, four-story Hammel, dedicated to their father William J. Hammel Sr., opened in December 2012 and quickly rented out. They decided to replicate their success with a similar

building next door.

The five-story Hammel II is just about finished, increasing their inventory to 66 units. An open house will be held Aug. 20.

The Hammels have big plans to continue exploiting a hot rental market. They want to build five more buildings along or in the Burling triangle, for a total of 460 units.

Their basic concept is to create low-rise buildings — nothing over six stories — to contrast with 28- to 48-story towers nearby.

Apartments will be priced about 10 percent less per square foot than the big buildings. Actual apartment prices might be the » NEW ROCHELLE, page 6

wo hundred units of luxury one- and two-bedroom rental apartments are proposed for a 22-acre site in the town of North Castle. JMF Properties Group, a Whippany, N.J.-based developer, is under contract to purchase the property, which sits next to a 14-acre campus of St. Christopher's Inc., an organization for teens with disabilities. As part of the proposal, the developer submitted a petition to rezone the property at 1700 Old Orchard St. from a single-family zone, which would support 11 homes, into multifamily.

The new 248,000-square-foot apartment building, dubbed The Vue, would take up residence adjacent to both the Jennie Clarkson campus of St. Christopher's, which will remain at its current location, and hundreds of acres of woodland. The project will leave about 18 acres of its site preserved as open space, along with offering 400 underground parking spaces for residents and some above-ground spaces for visitors.

Marketed to millennials and emptynesters, monthly rent for the 80 one-bedroom apartments would range from $2,800 to $2,900 per month, while the rent on the 120 two-bedroom units would range from $3,100 to $3,200 per month. Ten percent of the units would be designated as affordable.

JMF Properties asserts that the new apartment complex is a “win-win” for both the developer and the town. Along with providing significant tax benefits to the town of North Castle, estimated at approximately $170,000 annually, The Vue would also serve as an incentive for young people to remain in the area and provide support to the existing business community.

But residents are concerned that the proposed project, which would sit in an isolated part of the town that borders the Kenisco Reservoir and the Cranberry Lake Preserve, could have a number of negative impacts, including its effect on the Valhalla school system. JMF Properties asserts that the complex would add only 12

additional students to Valhalla’s school district, about the same as the 11 single-family houses the location is currently zoned for.

“The design is not conducive to families with children,” said Anthony Veneziano of Veneziano & Associates, a representative of the developer.

Veneziano also expects The Vue to have “minimal” impact on traffic, adding that, based upon other projects, he anticipates 80 percent of the occupants will have one car. JMF Properties will also provide a shuttle service to the Metro-North Railroad station a few miles away.

At a town board meeting in July, a resident questioned the project’s claim that it could be a “haven” for millennials considering its isolated location, not in close proximity to the bars or restaurants that demographic usually flocks toward. But Veneziano counters that the location takes advantage of the site’s elevation by giving tenants unobstructed views of the reservoir and the surrounding areas, adding that the apartment complex will be “essentially invisible” from Route 22.

North Castle town Supervisor Michael J. Schiliro said it’s too early in the process to discuss any potential benefits or hazardous

effects the project may have on the area.

The proposal is at a “very, very preliminary” stage, he said, adding that the board, which declared its intent to act as lead agency to coordinate the State Environmental Quality Review process at its July 13 meeting, is “still far from a zoning change.”

“We’re in a scoping process,” he said.

“We’re getting as much information as we can and then (we will) determine if the project progresses.”

Schiliro stressed that the process would involve the participation of all stakeholders, including residents, and that the board will take into serious account all concerns regarding the project.

Referencing an erroneous flyer that circulated the area stating The Vue’s petition was for an “affordable housing zoning change” and mentioned Section 8 housing, Schiliro said, “I love the (residents’) passion, but that passion has to be coupled with the facts. It can’t be with misinformation.”

“We owe it to the citizens to listen to people who are looking to invest in our town,” he said, “and then determine whether the investment may be a net positive for the town or if not. We have to think real long and hard about it.”

New York approves Clean Energy Standard with subsidy for nuclear

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

T

he New York State Public Service Commission approved Aug. 1 a historic Clean Ener�y Standard that requires half the state’s ener�y come through renewable sources by 2030 — with some help from a nuclear subsidy along the way.

The state is looking to wean itself off its reliance on fossil fuels for power. The policy was championed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who says the standard could reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent, compared to 1990 levels.

“New York has taken bold action to become a national leader in the clean ener�y economy and is taking concrete, costeffective steps today to safeguard this state’s environment for decades to come,” Cuomo said in a statement following the PSC’s vote.

The Clean Ener�y Standard will require utilities and other ener�y suppliers to aggressively phase in new renewable power sources, starting with 26.31 percent of the state’s total electricity load in 2017. The number goes to 30.54 percent in 2021.

To reach that goal, the state will require

utilities to purchase a set amount of renewable ener�y credits from the New York State Ener�y Research and Development Authority each year. The money from the credits can be used to finance new renewable ener�y sources to add to the electric grid.

The standard views zero-emission nuclear power as a sort-of bridge to a cleaner ener�y future. In 2014, nuclear produced about 30 percent of the state’s ener�y, second only to natural gas, which produced about 40 percent. The state would like to cut down on that natural gas percentage, while increasing the percentage of hydroelectric (18.4 percent in 2014) and solar and wind (5.5 percent in 2014, grouped with other renewables).

But nuclear plants have struggled to remain profitable while competing with the much-cheaper natural gas, in part from hydrofracking. To help keep nuclear plants from shutting down, and possibly increasing reliance on natural gas-fired plants, the state has agreed to direct millions of ratepayer dollars to upstate nuclear plants.

Starting in April 2017, the CES will require all six of New York’s investor-owned utilities to pay for the “intrinsic value,” as described in the press release from Cuomo, of the car-

bon-free emissions from nuclear plants by purchasing Zero-Emission Credits. The plan designates up to $965 million over two years to keep endangered reactors in service.

Karl Rábago, the executive director of the Pace Ener�y and Climate Center, said that while he had some concern about using scarce ratepayer dollars toward nuclear power, letting them fail would “dig a big hole” in the amount of emissions-free electricity currently available in the state.

“The ultimate goal of a Clean Ener�y Standard is carbon-emissions reduction, and I think we’d be handicapping ourselves if we gave up that much emission-free generation now,” Rábago said. “So you recognize it is going to take a while to get the run rate up on renewable ener�y, so let’s not handicap ourselves, and channel some resources to keeping nuclear power plants afloat.”

The industry group Nuclear Matters also praised the subsidy, saying it shows New York properly values the role of nuclear in producing carbon-free ener�y.

“Governor Cuomo importantly recognizes the role that all types of carbon-free power can and must play in helping us achieve our clean ener�y goals,” said Carol

Browner, a Nuclear Matters Leadership Council member, in a statement.

Exelon Corp’s Ginna reactor in Wayne County, Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 in Oswego County and Enter�y Corp’s FitzPatrick reactor in Oswego County would all be eligible for the program.

Enter�y’s other New York nuke plant, Indian Point Ener�y Center in Buchanan, does not qualify for the subsidy. Indian Point’s Unit 2 and 3 reactors were not included in the Zero-Emission Credits program because it is not facing financial issues, according to the PSC’s order.

Alex Beauchamp, northeast director for the group Food & Water Watch, told the Associated Press that the subsidy represented “a step in the wrong direction.”

“New York needs a true clean ener�y revolution to move the state to 100 percent renewable ener�y, but the billions announced today to bail out an old, dangerous and unprofitable technolo�y make that revolution even more difficult,” Beauchamp told the AP. But several environmental groups have released statements in favor of the Clean Ener�y Standard as a whole, including the Sierra Club, Alliance for Clean Ener�y New York and the Environmental Advocates of New York.

The layoffs are part of the closing of Trusted Media Brands’ Studio Fun International U.S., which published licensed children’s books.

“The closing of Studio Fun International U.S. is the next step in executing on our strate�y to focus on our core businesses and brands,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “We’re committed to the company’s long-term vision of being an iconic, multi-platform media company.”

Clean Ener�y— From page 3

2030 can dramatically change and modernize the ener�y landscape in New York, sending a strong signal to attract new private investment in renewables, like wind and solar,” said Anne Reynolds, executive director of the Alliance for Clean Ener�y New York.

However, the Clean Ener�y Standard’s impact on business has been questioned.

Darren Suarez, director of government affairs for The Business Council of New York State, Inc. said the standard should have ensured that power was provided at a reasonable rate for all customers.”

“It is clear the Public Service Commission has failed to properly evaluate the significant costs associated with the Clean Ener�y Standard,” Suarez said in a statement. “This failure will cost New York State businesses billions of dollars and put current and future New York manufacturing jobs, and jobs in other ener�y-intensive sectors, in mortal danger.”

Westchester power supplier Consolidated Edison, Inc., came out in favor of the standard.

“There are additional costs associated with renewable ener�y,” the utility said in a statement. “But the costs of not taking steps now to reduce emissions and protect the planet for future generations are even greater.”

There are at least 16,000 zombie homes across the state based on data released

by Realty Trac, a California-based realty information company. According to a report from the Independent Democratic Conference, bank-owned foreclosed homes in Westchester County have caused more than $9.2 million in house value depreciation. The IDC also reported 49 bank-owned homes and 91 zombie properties in the 40th Senate District, which includes parts of Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam counties. In total, there are 247 zombie properties in Dutchess County and 114 in Putnam County.

same, Hammel told development officials, but they will be larger and therefore cheaper on a square-foot basis.

They will build a small park at a corner of Burling that overlooks the interstate, and they are negotiating for a house that would be demolished to double the size of the park. The park will allow access to a pedestrian bridge that is blocked off now but will be opened, enabling people to cross over the interstate and catch Metro-North trains at the transit center.

They will refurbish a cupola that used to be at City Hall and install it on a stone and brick podium in the park.

The Hammels are negotiating with the New York State Thruway Authority the build a landscaped path along its retaining wall, from the park to the tip of the triangle, where a second park will be built.

Trees will be planted along the perimeter.

“When you come here,” Hammel said, “you will know you are in this neighborhood.”

state law. Funding will be drawn from Morgan Stanley’s $3.2 billion settlement with state and federal authorities over its creation of mortgage-backed bonds prior to the global financial crisis.

Syracuse Mayor Stephanie A. Miner said in a statement that this program will support cities as they continue to deal with issues presented by zombie properties, adding that rehabbing blighted properties will improve the quality of life for neighborhoods statewide, as well as generate more property-tax revenues.

The program will be run by the Local Initiatives Support Corp., a national community development intermediary specializing in affordable housing, economic development, and community revitalization. All municipalities invited to participate in the funding have populations of at least 5,000 residents and at least 100 vacant and abandoned properties.

The grants come on the heels of a state law passed earlier this year that imposes new rules on banks, requiring them to maintain abandoned houses before foreclosures are completed or face civil penalties of up to $500 per day. That law also establishes a statewide electronic registry

old. The design will be contemporary, with sleek lines, lots of light, little trim and a façade of limestone-like material.

The apartments will open onto an interior catwalk overlooking an atrium and a park-like setting, with a pond, trees, artificial turf and a putting green, like the Hyatt Regency Greenwich.

One floor will be dedicated to a fitness center, yoga room, business center, conference room, social room and storage spaces.

The building will have 146 parking spaces, bike-sharing and car-sharing services and a pet park.

The apartments will be mostly studios or one-bedrooms, with a few two-bedroom units.

All Burling triangle projects will include affordable, or workplace, housing. Eleven units will be set aside at the Millennia and will cost about $1,000 a month less than the market rate units, which will be priced at about $3 per square foot.

The Millennia is “perhaps the most important part of the portfolio,” Hammel told the New Rochelle Industrial Development Agency on July 27.

“We need to make a statement, to give Burling Lane an identity. So when you come down Burling Lane, it will all be brand new and this will be stately looking. There will be no skimping on materials.”

After the Millennia, the developers

of vacant and abandoned properties, along with a hotline where community members can report those sites.

“It’s too early to say that (the new legislation) is making an impact, but everyone is very optimistic,” said Madeline Fletcher, director of the Newburgh Community Land Bank. Newburgh was one of four Orange County municipalities invited to participate in the new grant program.

But Peekskill Mayor Frank Catalina, who estimates around 20 to 30 zombie houses in his home city, said legislation like this “just adds to the problem.”

As part of the Zombie Remediation and Prevention Initiative, the grants require communities to develop programs for atrisk homeowners to help them avoid foreclosure, something Catalina believes only amplifies the underlying issue.

“It looks like another intermediate step to keep them in occupancy,” Catalina said.

“If it in any way slows down the turnover and foreclosure process, it’s really just putting a Band-Aid on a cancer,” he said. “It’s not getting people in there that can afford the maintenance and the upkeep.”

Catalina added that the funding ini-

tiative, which is designed to offer grants to range from $75,000 to $350,000 per municipality, is “just a drop in the bucket.”

Fletcher said that the Land Bank is investing more than $75,000 in almost every building it acquires “just to make it developable or just to get it to a point where it’s a reasonable investment for a homeowner or a developer.”

The Newburgh Community Land Bank, which has acquired around 70 properties and has sold or is actively under development on about 50 of those, has seen “a lot of new interest” in vacant properties in recent months, according to Fletcher.

“We see prices are kind of eking up,” she said. She estimates around 600 vacant properties in the city today, down from a 2010 study that identified 700 vacant buildings in Newburgh.

“I think the trend (in vacant properties) is downward, but it’s a long haul,” she said.

Catalina agreed that while there seems to be a similar trend in the number of zombie properties in Peekskill, he attributes that more to delinquent borrowers remaining in their homes longer during the foreclosure process than an actual decrease in the number of foreclosures.

The two buildings which will be demolished to make way for the Millennia apartment building in New Rochelle.

will put up a building designed for doctors doing residencies at the hospital. It will have mostly studio apartments with a lot of builtin features, like Murphy beds.

A luxury building for empty nesters is also planned.

The developers want to begin demolition this month and hope to finish the

Millennia by August 2017.

They are asking the IDA for exemptions from sales taxes and the mortgage recording tax, worth about $1.4 million, and for a payment in lieu of taxes plan in place of property taxes for 20 years.

The IDA will hold a public hearing Sept. 21.

REGIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPS IN JUNE THE REGIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPPED by 0.1 point in June, continuing a strong annual improvement that has surpassed the state and nation.

Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties recorded 3.9 percent unemployment in June, according to preliminary calculations released July 26 by the New

York Department of Labor.

Statewide, unemployment was at 4.5 percent. The nation and New York City were at 5.1 percent.

The three-county unemployment rate dropped by nearly a full percentage point, 0.8, from 4.7 percent a year ago.

That annual rate of change was faster than in New York City, the state and the nation.

Nationally and in the city, the unemployment rate declined by less than half of a percentage point, 0.4, from 5.5 percent a year ago. Statewide, unemployment declined by 0.7 point, from 5.2 percent.

The unemployment rates mirror job growth data released earlier this month

HUDSON VALLEY STARTUP FUND LAUNCHES AFTER HITTING $1M GOAL

A FEDERAL JURY CONVICTED A Mount Vernon tax preparer on July 25 of preparing false tax returns and obstructing the Internal Revenue Service.

Samuel Gentle, 59, was found guilty after a five-day trial before U.S. District Court Judge Cathy Seibel in White Plains.

Gentle’s business, GenGen Corp., 35 Colonial Place, Mount Vernon, prepared tax returns from 2010 to 2014 that contained inflated deductions for business expenses and gifts to charities, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

Gentle also failed to report nearly half of $1 million in receipts that his business received from 2010 to 2014. He spread the money across eight bank accounts and failed to issue tax forms to himself and employees, “further concealing from the IRS the amount of receipts he and his business received.”

As part of the IRS investigation, an undercover agent posing as a client met Gentle to discuss his taxes around April 2012. The agent recorded the meeting with concealed audio-visual equipment.

THE HUDSON VALLEY STARTUP FUND — an investment group focused on funding small business and startups in the region — closed at the end of June with $1,125,000 from 44 investors.

“I’m thrilled to see us exceed our goal of $1 million, which will allow us to invest in and support local high growth businesses across the Hudson Valley,” said Johnny LeHane, the first investor in the fund, in a statement. “It’s already a fantastic place to live, and now will be a great place to start and scale high growth companies.”

The startup fund is managed by its members. It is focusing investment on startups and companies in the Hudson Valley with high growth potential. Before the Hudson Valley Startup Fund launched, the region was the only one in the state without an angel network or fund.

The fund has drawn investors from Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Ulster, Orange and Sullivan counties, according to the press release.

TAX PREPARER FOUND GUILTY OF FILING FALSE RETURNS

Gentle itemized false deductions that the agent had not discussed or documented, according to the indictment. The tax return claimed a $574 refund.

Gentle said in a telephone interview in April that he did have documents to support his work and he claimed that the undercover agent, who posed as a construction worker, told him he had donated $300 to $400 to charity.

“I know in my heart I did not do it,” he said in response to the indictment.

The jury found Gentle guilty on all 39 counts submitted by the government.

He is scheduled for sentencing Oct. 25.

BURKE GETS GRANT TO STUDY SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY BURKE MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE HAS RECEIVED a federal grant to study a protein linked to spinal muscular atrophy, the leading genetic cause of infant mortality.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded $475,000 to a team headed by principal investigator Dianna Willis, Burke’s director of pain research.

The survival motor neuron protein allows muscles to move, she said. But motor neuron cells are susceptible to dying, and when that happens muscles weaken and atrophy.

The team will study the protein’s role in cell maintenance and try to pinpoint why motor neurons are vulnerable to losing the protein. Their hope is that their findings will point to new therapies that can protect motor neurons from degenerating.

About one in every 10,000 infants have spinal muscular atrophy, and most of them die before age 2, Willis said. Patients with a less severe form of the disease can live into adulthood.

She described the funding as a jumpstart grant that will generate preliminary data for a larger grant and long-term research.

The Burke Institute is also awaiting word on another $475,000 grant from the same federal institute, for research on a device that helps people with brain injuries improve their vision.

Sometimes patients with severe brain injuries cannot communicate what they see. The device displays pictures moving across a screen. When the patient tracks the image correctly, music plays. When they stop tracking the image, the music stops.

The device allows doctors to understand what the patient perceives, and it stimulates and improves the patient’s vision.

Burke Medical Research Institute was created in 1978 to look for new strategies for treating patients with spinal cord injuries, stroke and other cognitive and motor disabilities. It is affiliated with Burke

Rehabilitation Hospital, with which it shares a campus in White Plains, and with Weill Cornell Medical College.

ULSTER COUNTY TOURIST SPENDING TOPS $532 MILLION IN 2015 VISITOR SPENDING IN ULSTER COUNTY increased for the sixth consecutive year in 2015.

Travelers to Ulster County spent $532.7 million in 2015, up $18 million compared to 2014, according to a report from the Division of Business Advocacy and Research at Empire State Development.

“Ulster County is an amazing place that more people are discovering and TWB Perez returning to year after year,” Ulster County WCBJ Executive Mike Hein said.

7.375” w x 7.125” h The entire Catskills region, which 6/14/16 includes Ulster, Sullivan, Greene and Delaware counties, grew traveler spending to $1.17 billion in 2015. Ulster County ranked second in the Hudson Valley region in visitor spending, trailing

Westchester County.

“Ulster County benefits from the thousands of jobs the tourism sector creates for local residents and the multiplier effect of this spending,” Ulster County Tourism Director Richard J. Remsnyder said.

RECORD TOURISM SPENDING TOPS $528 MILLION IN DUTCHESS COUNTY TOURISTS SPENT A RECORD $528,333,000 in Dutchess County in 2015, an increase from $508,991,000 during the prior year.

That spending generated $37.67 million in local tax revenue in 2015, according to Dutchess Tourism Inc., who received the figures from New York State.

Those tax revenues were up from roughly $36 million in 2014. Visitor spending supported 9,994 jobs and was divided between lodging, recreation, food and beverages, retail and gas station outlets, and transportation.

The agency, funded by Dutchess

County, added that tourism in the county has increased considerably since its inception in 1984 when visitor spending was $94 million and generated $950,000 in sales tax.

Dutchess County attractions include the nation’s first Presidential Library & Museum for Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with the FDR Home, The Culinary Institute of America, the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park, Dia:Beacon, the nation’s largest contemporary art museum, and the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.

Frontier to expand digital TV service to Hudson Valley

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

F

rontier Communications Corp. plans to bring its new digital TV service to the Hudson Valley, starting in Middletown.

The Middletown City

Council held a public hearing in July on whether to allow the new Vantage TV service from the telecommunications company. The company currently provides internet and telephone service to the city.

The all-digital Vantage platform offers standard and high definition, along with

4k or ultra-high definition. It also offers the ability to record up to six channels, movies and shows on demand and direct access to Netflix.

Frontier previously provided internet and phone service to the Orange County city, and contracted TV services through Dish Network.

Frontier already offers the Vantage plat-

I THINK THE COMPETITION WILL BE GREAT. —Joseph DeStefano

form in Connecticut. It first tested the platform in its North Carolina market.

The move would allow Frontier to market a full package of internet, phone and television in the city.

Vantage would run through Frontier’s existing network setup, and would bring additional franchise fees to the city, Frontier representatives told the Middletown City Council.

Final rates for the service have not been determined, according to the franchise

agreement Frontier filed with Middletown.

Frontier described its pricing as competitive in its presentation.

The city needs to approve the franchise agreement before Frontier’s request to expand Vantage is sent to the state Public Service Commission for consideration.

Middletown Mayor Joseph DeStefano said at the meeting in July that introducing Vantage would be good for customers with limited options.

“They’re not replacing Time Warner [Cable, Inc.], they are going to be competing with Time Warner,” DeStefano said. “I think the competition will be great.”

A spokesperson from Frontier said it will also be expanding Vantage into other cities, towns and villages in the Hudson Valley, including: • Town of Blooming Grove • Village of Chester • Town of Deerpark • Town of Goshen • Village of Goshen • Village of Harriman • Village of Monroe • Town of Montgomery • City of Port Jervis Frontier operates out of Norwalk, Conn. and serves 29 states. It employs about 28,600 people and had revenue of $11 billion last year, according to its presentation to city council. Its New York operation is based out of Rochester.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Celebrating wins, learning from defeats build a strong team It’s sad that when a guy does it right that we get excited, our expectations are so low. We expect things to go wrong and somehow they do — a lot! It’s such a struggle.

What should we be doing to lead our company in a better direction, where doing it right is the norm, and we celebrate real excellence?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Celebrating when

things go right is good, it’s the standard of excellence that needs work. Be clear about whether or not people want to play your

game and give decision-making power.

Know that you can’t save someone who won’t try to save themselves. Things can get so much easier.

I happen to think that most businesses need more celebrating, not less. It’s even possible to celebrate when things fail.

Failure can help you to discover how to operate better. It’s a problem when there’s no attempt to learn, adapt or change, when things are going wrong.

Some people think that ringing a bell, or handing out gift cards or sending around certificates are a waste of time, or too silly. Think about how it felt when your efforts were recognized and everyone around you knew that you did a good job. For most people, if they’re honest, it feels pretty good to be recognized.

You can do the same for your employees, without much extra effort.

Here’s one place to start. When things go wrong, pull everyone together and ask them to diagnose what went wrong. And

then ask them how to do it differently and then let them try.

When things go wrong, it’s tempting to focus on the bad stuff — what’s it going to cost, how it effects other things, the disruptions. Instead, challenge your team to think past the immediate breakdown, to see where they are trying to get to. And then ask them to find a different route to success.

When things go wrong, check if it’s an attitude, behavior or skill problem.

Attitudes of “I don’t care, I’ll just do the minimum;” or “It doesn’t matter;” and behaviors of, “It’s not my fault;” are deadly in any organization. Deal with poor attitudes and behavior swiftly. Tell people to check their attitudes at the door. Be sure they follow your direction and lead by example.

On the other hand, lack of skill is not a reason to jump on someone. Make sure you have the right person for the job. If employees get something wrong because they lack the skills, work with them, teach them the skills and assign someone to take the lead.

When you pull people together to discuss why things went wrong, and what to do next, be prepared to step out of the way and let the group lead. You want people who are engaged; don’t hold them back by telling them how to do it. Everyone learns best when asked to solve the problems they’ve created.

Watch how your employees respond.

Make it clear that ignoring problems is unacceptable. Find out if they will step up and take action to fix things. If they don’t, ask them why. If they just don’t know what to do, or they don’t have time or ener�y to get to the problem, call them out. Think about whether you need to make a change. Don’t let a bad attitude pollute your workforce.

When you pull together a team of people who are committed to getting better and better, your life will get so much easier.

You will have less need to step in, your employees will be happier and you can all focus on celebrating all the wins together.

NEW HEALTH CARE PRACTICES

New sensory room offers health benefits

IT TOOK A LOT OF DESIGNING. IT'S NOT JUST, 'OK, LET'S HANG THIS HERE AND HANG THAT THERE.'

—Bozena Mazurek

incorporating more sensory tools, such as weighted blankets, music and textured devices, was important. The design also allows enough space for those in wheelchairs to move freely from station to station, and all wall-mounted devices are positioned low enough to be accessible to those who are unable to stand.

“Just because they can’t walk, they’ve (still) got to be able to access every part of that room,” O’Brien said, adding that “the goal in that room is to hit every sense in an economical and an easy-to-install way.”

Still, a major part of establishing the sensory room at Cerebral Palsy of Westchester came from securing adequate funds to create the space. Without assistance from the state, the roughly $13,000 cost of the room was made possible by fundraising efforts, a process that took more than a year.

“The fiber optics may not look like much, but they’re very, very expensive,” said Joan Colangelo, director of development at Cerebral Palsy of Westchester.

But for clients like James, that investment in the sensory room was certainly worth the price tag.

“It’s awesome,” he said with a grin.

n a darkened room illuminated by fiber optic lights that stream from the ceiling and line the walls, 10-year old James Potts sat in his wheelchair, remote in hand, controlling the shifting colors of round light fixtures placed on the floor — changing them from bright blue to green and pink.

“Do you think I could make them turn brown?” he asked excitedly.

James was taking advantage of some of the options in Cerebral Palsy of Westchester’s new sensory room set within the nonprofit’s Rye Brook space.

The room allows clients like him to receive physical and psychological benefits, while at the same time, have fun. Launched earlier this year, the 472-square-foot room helps users to explore their senses in a controlled environment through various lighting effects, music and textures that range from wall panels that shift color

when pressed to devices that make sounds when squeezed. The sensory room can also increase concentration and focus attention, along with improving motor skills and communication.

“The main goal of the sensory room is to help integrate that sensory (experience) into their everyday life, so they can then feel the outside world,” said Karen O’Brien, a product specialist at Enabling Devices, the Hawthorne-based company that designed and installed the room’s equipment.

Though sensory rooms are used in an array of settings for a variety of users, this space was created specifically for the children and adults served here.

“It took a lot of designing,” said Bozena Mazurek, associate executive director at Cerebral Palsy of Westchester. “It’s not just, ‘OK, let’s hang this here and hang this there.’”

Because the room is used by clients of various ages, many of whom have profound or multiple disabilities, O’Brien said

Burke dementia clinic looks to expand services

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfair.com

T

he Memory Evaluation and Treatment Service at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital has been quietly diagnosing and treating memory disorders since 1979.

Now the program wants to expand its comprehensive, compassionate and multidisciplinary approach by doing more

research and reaching more patients struggling with the diseases.

Last month Burke, based in White Plains, named Dr. Pasquale Fonzetti to lead the effort.

Fonzetti earned a PhD and medical degree at Bari University in Italy and did post-graduate training in neurolo�y in the United States. He served as associate director of Burke’s memory clinic for 15 years under Dr. Barry Jordan, an authority on

some form of dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association, and Alzheimer’s is the most common form, afflicting an estimated 5.4 million Americans.

“We treat patients with the most complex and challenging cases of dementia,” Fonzetti said.

Three neurologists, two neuro-psychologists and three coordinators who specialize in memory disorders put patients through a battery of tests.

They have the latest imaging tools at their disposal, such as PET scans of the brain that can detect early stage Alzheimer’s disease. But old-fashioned, thorough clinical work is the foundation of their diagnoses.

They do a general screening test, take the patient’s history, do a general medical exam and a neurological exam. They assess the patient’s cognitive skills, like memory, language and spatial perception.

They collect information from the patient, family members and caregivers.

When did memory loss begin and was the decline gradual or sudden? Has the patient lost interest in activities or become increasingly irritable?

The examination takes about three hours. Then the team waits for the results of blood and imaging tests.

Some forms of dementia are treatable, and that’s why the team collects so much information. The idea is to identify the less fearsome forms of dementia, or rule them out, before focusing on Alzheimer’s.

The memory clinic evaluates and diagnoses about 120 patients a year.

Fonzetti wants to build on the program, founded by Dr. John Blass, “an extraordinary scientist” who is now professor emeritus of neurolo�y at Weill Cornell Medical College, and then led by Jordan, who is concentrating on administrative duties as assistant medical director of Burke.

Fonzetti wants to reach more patients and find better treatments.

In June, the state Department of Health awarded a $2.1 million grant to Burke and the Montefiore Einstein Center for the Aging Brain. They will create a Center for Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease that will expand cognitive screening, diagnosis and care in the seven county Hudson Valley region.

Burke is active in clinical trials. Dr. Gary Gibson, for instance, is running a pilot study on the effects of thiamine (vitamin B1) on memory and cognition.

Fonzetti expects significant progress will be made in the next few years as researchers understand the various mechanisms of dementia diseases. He thinks that future treatments will use combinations of medications, as in the treatment of HIV, to target the immune system.

For now, Alzheimer’s has no cure.

Once the Burke physician makes a diagnosis, a family conference is scheduled.

This is a crucial part of the program. » BURKE, page 18

Patients and loved ones are hungry for information, and they are scared.

“They want to know, How come my dad or my mom has this diagnosis?” Fonzetti said. “How did it occur. What is the process?

What is the natural course of the disease?”

He starts from the beginning, gently presenting his findings in simple language, describing the test results and explaining how he arrived at the diagnosis.

He starts Alzheimer’s patients on medication that can moderately improve memory. He explains the importance of physical activity, social interactions and a balanced diet.

He puts them in touch with support groups. A report is sent to the physician who referred the patient and who will continue the treatment.

He discusses the genetic realities with the children and the steps they can take to prevent or mitigate the disease.

These are difficult conversations. But now the patient, family and caregivers understand what is going on and what they can do to help.

“They usually thank me,” Fonzetti said, “despite what I told them.”

The business of urgent care

T

his isn’t the place for the flashing lights and the blaring sirens but the medical issues dealt with at urgent care facilities are still very impactful to people’s lives. That’s one reason why more and more are popping up in neighborhoods near you.

The central purpose of an urgent care facility is to treat a wide range of minor medical conditions — everything from colds to sprains — that have an effect on our daily lives. There’s also an expanded menu of services that can feature drug testing, preemployment testing, lab work, x-rays and those all-important school and camp medical forms.

According to the U.S. Urgent Care Association, there are nearly 7,100 centers across the nation. This is kind of the new “it” industry and the ownership of these facilities can vary, including a hospital, a corporation, a medical group or other health care entrepreneurs. Another option to enter this industry is through obtaining a franchised urgent care center. With the extensive corporate backing, this can provide much-needed guidance, mentorship, purchasing power and ongoing support for the venture.

But like any business venture, one of the necessary foundations of an urgent care center is a business plan that can outline and address key areas: • Demographic study of population centers and potential competitors who already exist in the area.

• Sources and uses of funds for a new center to properly fit out a facility and purchase required equipment. Working capital will be needed to cover operational costs.

• Financial projections on revenue and expenses. For instance, how many patients a day can be served will be a very important metric.

• Information technolo�y systems, including protection of patient data.

• Staffing the necessary personnel from

doctors, nurses and office managers as well as determining overall hours of operation.

• Marketing and social media strategies to build a brand in the local community.

That’s a lot of planning when you think about it, especially financial. Banking institutions are available to provide a wide array of services, including conventional and Small Business Administration financing, depository, cash management, fraud prevention and merchant services that are critical to support the ongoing business operations.

From a business viewpoint, the urgent care center fills a critical need for care, combined with a large population of new patients spending their health care dollars.

These dollars will be covered through insurance, Medicare, private pay and tapping into health savings accounts. According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, national health expenditures grew 5.3 percent to $3 trillion in 2014, or $9,523 per person, and accounted for 17.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Given the adoption of electronic medical records, this can help greatly to add efficiency to the overall business and manage the entire care process.

Many offices may also enlist the services of an outside medical billing company to handle their collections.

Urgent care centers tend to be located in highly trafficked areas such as major shopping centers and highways where they can reach a large base of potential patients in the community. What appeals most to individuals is: • Convenience — walk-in traffic and no appointment needed; extended daily hours with weekend and holiday hours if necessary.

• Time commitment — overall less waiting to see a doctor and quicker return to daily activities.

• Maintain relationship with primary care doctor and overall care coordination. If unable to schedule an immediate appointment with primary care physician, urgent care can augment medical attention.

• Cost savings — it’s considerably less than the traditional emergency room services.

Which brings us back to those flashing lights and blaring sirens. It’s been widely reported that the U.S. will face a shortage of primary care doctors as the aging population of physicians retires. This might be a good medical and business investment.

The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce and The Chamber Foundation Inc. announced the promotion of two staff members and welcomed two new employees.

Louise McLoughlin has been promoted to senior vice president of business services.

McLoughlin has been with the chamber for eight years, serving most recently as vice president of workforce development. With her promotion, she will continue to supervise the day-to-day operations of the chamber’s Workforce Development Center and Youth One Stop, and will also lead the member services team of director of membership Elena McPhee and the new director of business services, Nancy Dewitt, formerly of The Chamber Foundation.

DeWitt assists with facilitating networking connections as well as evaluating and developing strategic marketing plans. She is also the staff liaison for the ambassador

committee. DeWitt has more than 20 years experience in the health care and marketing industries.

Joining the foundation is Brianne Kelly as the new programming coordinator. A Hudson Valley resident, Kelly recently returned from a 27-month tour with the Peace Corps as a Youth Development Volunteer in Bouarfa, Morocco, working with youth and women on topics such as leadership, empowerment, gender development, AIDS/HIV awareness, health and fitness, volunteerism, employability skills, and English as a foreign language.

Jean Harris also recently joined the chamber as director of events. Harris oversees all chamber events, coordinating services such as venues, catering, signage, displays, specialneeds requirements, printing and helping with promotion. Harris has 26 years' experience in marketing and advertising at the Poughkeepsie Journal, before she joined the chamber.
