A

Chinese solar panel manufacturer that last year said it would invest $100 million in a production facility in East Fishkill has yet to show any sign of bringing its plans to fruition.

Linuo Solar Group Co., a solar photovoltaic manufacturer headquartered about 280 miles south of Beijing, announced on Sept. 23, 2011, it had bought the 160-acre property formerly known as the IBM West Campus for $4.5 million.

In the 11 months since, Linuo has yet to file a single application for a building permit – or any other document indicating preparations to occupy the facility – and state and local officials report Linuo representatives have been nearly unreachable.

“We’re incredibly disappointed that they don’t have a plan in place,” said Catherine Maloney, president and CEO of the Dutchess County Economic Development Corp.,

A former IBM production facility remains vacant on an overgrown site in East Fishkill.

Businesses, officials wary of toll hikes

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

S

tate officials last week did little to quell discontent over the surprise revelation at a recent public meeting that tolls on the new Tappan Zee Bridge would be nearly triple what they are now.

Larry Schwartz, secretary to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the governor’s point man on the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project, said at a hastily called Aug. 5 media briefing that tolls would increase whether or not a new bridge is built.

Rise of local agencies sparks development and state concerns

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

D

eprived of a means to aid capital projects by nonprofits in the form of tax-free industrial development agency bonds, municipal officials in Westchester County and across New York are forming local development corporations, or LDCs, to fill that former role of IDAs. The new quasi-public agencies often share boards, staff, executive directors and meetings with IDAs. The proliferation of LDCs in New York in recent years – including at least 30 created in the first half of this year and 52 in the previous two years – has raised alarm at a state oversight agency, the Authorities Budget Office. In its recently released annual report on public authorities in the state, the ABO said the “growing dependence” of municipalities on local development corporations, whose financial dealings for projects can avoid some of the public scrutiny and public input of IDA and municipal transactions, “should be a public policy concern.”

An advocate in Albany for economic development agencies disagreed. Local development corporations formed in recent years provide less costly and speedier financing for nonprofit institutions in communities and contribute to a “more customerfriendly economic development environment,” said Brian T. McMahon, executive director of the 900-member New York State Economic Development Council.

Since 2000, the number of LDCs formed by local governments has risen by 150 percent, the ABO reported. State officials said the initial surge stemmed from the $206 billion master settlement agreement reached in 1998 between the nation’s four largest tobacco companies and the attorneys general for New York and 45 other states. Several counties and New York City created LDCs to raise bonds backed by their tobacco settlement payments.

large part has been a response to the state Legislature’s failure to extend authorization for IDAs to finance nonprofit and civic facilities projects, such as libraries, hospitals and schools, as well as retail projects when their bonding authority expired in early 2008. The bonding provision was the victim of a political battle between economic development advocates and organized labor over setting prevailing-wage requirements for financed projects.

The ABO said at least 40 LDCs incorporated since 2005, including 20 in 2010, were created primarily as a means for municipal governments to back civic and nonprofit projects. IRS rules allow LDCs formed by local governments to issue tax-exempt debt.

For nonprofits, said McMahon, that alternative comes with much lower financing charges and capital reserve requirements and shorter waits for issuance than their other source of tax-exempt state bonds, the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York.

In Westchester County, the LDC recourse was pursued this year by County Executive Robert P. Astorino and by city officials in New Rochelle.

County Local Development Corp., whose board members and executive director, Eileen Mildenberger, are shared with the county Industrial Development Agency, last month approved bonding for expansion and improvement projects at Northern Westchester Hospital and the Rippowam Cisqua School. Astorino, when announcing the tax-free financing, said “it comes at no risk to the county or to taxpayers.”

In June, New Rochelle officials formed the New Rochelle Local Development Corp. to help finance an approximately $35 million medical office building construction project and hospital expansion at Sound Shore Medical Center, said New Rochelle Development Commissioner Michael Freimuth. Freimuth said a previously formed LDC, created to finance the approximately $19 million purchase of the New Roc City parking garage, is being dissolved since the city in 2011 instead floated less costly municipal bonds for the acquisition.

In Yonkers, city officials three years ago launched a local development corporation to help a private for-profit developer, Struever Fidelco Cappelli L.L.C., move forward on its planned River Park Center mixed-use development with an infusion of

state funds.

The New Main Street Development Corp., however, has been inactive and unfunded since its creation in 2009 as the recipient and administrator of an expected $24 million grant from the state Dormitory Authority. Now city officials instead expect to receive an $8 million grant from the state this year for downtown property acquisitions needed for a Saw Mill River daylighting and riverwalk project at the site of the stalled River Park Center project near Getty Square.

Lacking the authority to condemn private properties, the LDC, appointed by former Yonkers mayor Philip Amicone and headed by the city’s former deputy mayor, turned to the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency to use its power of eminent domain if needed to acquire nearly a dozen commercial properties.

The ABO said the rise of LDCs as a source of tax-free bonds has come at a price to the state in the form of lost bond issuance charges. The state could have reaped at least $2 million and as much as $9 million from the issuance of $1.2 billion in debt in 2011 by LDCs, which, unlike IDAs and other public authorities, are not subject to the charges.

The bond issuance charges are taxes paid by nonprofit and civic employers undertaking projects, McMahon noted. “To us, that’s not a bad thing,” that the state cannot collect those charges from local development corporations, he said. “It reduces the cost to the customer, and we believe there should not be a bond issuance charge if you’re going to have a customer-friendly economic development environment.”

McMahon said he sees “some interest’ among state legislators and “an opportunity” in Albany to restore the bonding authority that expired for IDAs in 2008. But local governments should have the flexibility to offer IDAs as one-stop financing solutions and to form local development corporations to assist nonprofit employers in their communities, he said.

No loss in translation

Acclaro posts double-digit revenue growth

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

F

ifteen months after going public, LinkedIn reported an 89 percent increase in second-quarter revenue and 175 million registered users across 200 countries and territories.

If not for the work of a small translation company headquartered on the Irvington waterfront, however, much of the tech giant’s success might never have materialized.

As it celebrates its 10th anniversary, Acclaro Inc. – which originated in founder Michael Kriz’s kitchen – has thrived through partnerships with the likes of Yahoo!, Ralph Lauren, Coach, Tiffany & Co., Sony, Thomson Reuters, Oracle, Amway, SAP, Netflix, Living Social, LinkedIn and other global brands as they each sought new international markets for their products and services.

More recently though, the profile of companies looking to expand internationally has changed, Kriz said.

“It used to be that companies had to get to a certain size” before they would consider an international expansion, he said. “Now, right out of the gate, companies are saying, ‘International is in our plans.’”

Michael Kriz, Acclaro founder and president

While Acclaro continues to work with the well-known brands, Kriz said the company is increasingly approached by smaller, up-andcoming manufacturers and service providers.

“We’ve got these startups with 50 or 100 people that are checking off many more markets than we’ve seen in the past,” he said.

Acclaro has performed exceedingly well over the years, posting double-digit revenue growth every year except for the two years following the 2008 financial crisis.

“We probably shrunk by 15 percent that year (2008), but other than that it’s been about double-digit growth every year,” Kriz said, including 40 percent revenue growth last year alone.

As a global translation services firm,

Acclaro’s business can hardly be considered recession-proof. However, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics noted in a recent report that employment of interpreters and translators is expected to grow 42 percent between 2010 and 2020 – more than any other occupation it measures.

Kriz said the company’s presence in a variety of markets provides insulation from the events in one particular area. For example, while the Euro zone is currently in crisis, Southeast Asia is thriving, he said.

“To the extent that our clients are all global or going global, yes, it impacts us,” Kriz said. “But for the most part, it’s a question of ‘Are we going to grow by 15 percent or by 50 percent.’”

Kriz, who had previously worked in the translation services business for about 15 years, said he decided to start Acclaro as a means of filling the gap between large, specialized translation firms and smaller, familyrun companies.

Acclaro specifically targets clients that are looking to make a long-term commitment to specific markets.

“We look for companies that are going to have a fairly consistent, ongoing need for translation services,” Kriz said, due to

the amount of time translators must spend familiarizing themselves with a given company’s products or services. “This business requires a deep understanding of companies’ subject matter.”

Acclaro’s offerings range from the obvious – such as translating websites or marketing materials – to items that consumers and businesses wouldn’t automatically consider, like product manuals, training materials and user interfaces, Kriz said.

The company has roughly 50 full-time employees spread among offices in Irvington, San Francisco and the Boston area. About a dozen of the company’s full-time staff works in offices and locations overseas.

The bulk of the translation work is conducted by teams of freelancers that are supervised by full-time Acclaro translators and editors, Kriz said.

When it was founded, Acclaro worked primarily for companies developing business-to-business technologies.

While Acclaro continues to work in the latter area, Kriz said the bulk of the company’s work is now in the consumer technology and retail businesses. Acclaro also works with traditional business services firms and health information companies.

Piermont Straus, an ambitious retail destination Art gallery, bookshop and whatever else Laura Straus includes

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

I

f you were to describe what goes on at Piermont Straus, it might sound too ambitious. After all, it’s an art gallery that sells honey, a bookshop that features T-shirts and a museum shop that hosts book signings, art openings and wine tastings.

But thanks to the unifying vision of owner Laura Straus, it all comes together in a quirky and appealing mix tucked behind a sunflower-strewn façade.

The current exhibition features the artwork of Jana Kolpen to celebrate the release of the 15th anniversary edition of “The Secrets of Pistoulet.” Last month’s wellattended opening for the book about a woman’s reinvention on a French farm was held on Bastille Day and tied to Piermont’s own celebration of the French national day.

HV

Even Straus seems bemused by her inaugural retail venture’s early success. Since opening last October at 530B Piermont Ave., Piermont Straus has already hosted five exhibitions, connected with the community and remained financially sound.

“I thought we’d be the first year in the red,” Straus said, adding that the business is covering itself nicely.

Open Fridays through Sundays or by appointment, the shop not only serves locals but capitalizes on Piermont’s day-trippers and weekend visitors who might be on the hunt for a new piece of art for their home or a Piermont themed T-shirt or poster.

“We don’t have any absolutes about what this needs to be,” Straus said of the gallery’s focus.

That’s why art exhibitions surround a counter that features artisanal honey, a whole room is devoted to books both new and used and art notecards share display space with tabletop accessories.

“We take an author and try to celebrate

their work through imagery,” Straus said, which leads to the unique merchandise that ties it all together.

“If the artist is interested, we often try to take their work and do what a museum shop would do,” she said, with results exemplified by a whimsical chicken-themed scarf based on a Kolpen work. The shop also features a collection of souvenir-style items inspired

by Piermont itself – think T-shirts, posters, calendars and magnets – with a decidedly artistic slant.

As Straus looks back over her venture’s early months, she marvels at how it has all fallen into place.

“This felt like the next natural step in my life,” said Straus, a veteran photo editorturned-photographer who four years ago relocated to Piermont with her husband, banker John Alexander.

At first, Straus says she was tempted to use the space as a studio but then hit on the gallery concept.

“The evolution of this became more about becoming a part of the community here rather than showcasing my work,” she said. “I have never actually done a solo show here in my own gallery. I feel the multi-artist shows are when I can slip in.”

Most every aspect of Straus’ career culminates in Piermont Straus.

Straus, who grew up in Purchase and graduated with a degree in fine art after studying drawing at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., was based in Manhattan for 25 years.

There, she turned to photography after a career in photo editing, working for companies ranging from Magnum Photos to Abbeville Press, where Straus was introduced to art-book publishing – and carried on a family tradi-

tion. (Her grandfather, Roger Straus, founded Farrar, Straus & Giroux and her father, also named Roger Straus, was a publisher and is now an architectural photographer.)

Straus herself has completed a number of photographic monographs for Andrews & McMeel, while her work has also appeared in publications ranging from The New York Times to People magazine. Since 1998, she has also worked with the Artists Rights Society in Manhattan, which represents the estates of more than a half million artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe. Today, she commutes to Manhattan three days a week for that job.

Straus has also become an active participant of the Piermont Business Council and is a strong advocate of the “shop-local” philosophy.

“I think more and more there’s something about that that really matters,” she said.

In addition, Straus and her husband have created the Piermont Straus Foundation, dedicated to contributing to the arts and culture of the Hudson River Valley.

For now, Straus devotes her time to planning gallery events, which are highlighted on its active Facebook page.

Straus shares her sixth exhibition, which will open Sept. 8, a celebration of Cornelia Guest’s new book “Simple Pleasures.” The companion exhibition, “Green Acres & Simple Pleasures,” will feature works by a number of artists and kick off with a champagne reception.

For Straus, the gallery that went from dream to reality has already brought her much satisfaction.

“This place has done more for me in terms of feeling I have my hand in the creative world than I could have imagined.”

Solar maker’s plans stall— From page 1

one of the groups involved in the initial plans to bring Linuo to East Fishkill. “But we’re ready, willing and able to work with them as they develop a plan. We want to help them move forward.”

At the time of the announcement, Linuo’s director of international development, Bevan Zhang, said the company planned to invest $100 million in a manufacturing facility that would serve as the company’s U.S. headquarters, with plans to hire 1,000 workers over the course of several years and to begin production in early 2013.

Linuo is a subsidiary of Wuhan Linuo Solar Energy Group Co. Ltd., which has a current market value equal to about $225 million.

The effort was a collaboration among Dutchess County, The Solar Energy Consortium (TSEC) in Kingston, Empire

State Development Corp. and a number of local officials.

The broker who negotiated the initial purchase and who has remained in contact with a Linuo representative said the company is still interested in establishing its East Fishkill facility.

Thomas LaPerch, an associate broker with Houlihan Lawrence’s East Fishkill office, said economic factors and a tariff on solar panels imported from China enacted by the U.S. in May have contributed to delays.

“They’re disappointed themselves they haven’t started,” LaPerch said. “The business model has changed since they bought the property because the tariff rules and regulations have made it more difficult for them to set up shop here.”

However, the tariff only applies to solar panels manufactured in China and would not apply to panels manufactured in the U.S. by a Chinese company. Efforts by the Business Journal to contact Linuo were unsuccessful.

Maloney and Ron Hicks, Dutchess County deputy commissioner of economic development and strategic planning, said county officials are anxious to see the property occupied – regardless of which company chooses to set up shop.

“If, because of tariffs or the economy, the project they proposed is no longer viable, we want to make sure we are able to respond to any opportunity to get that site developed,” Hicks said. “We want to get those buildings reopened, we want to get the site redeveloped if necessary and we want to start creating jobs.”

East Fishkill Town Supervisor John Hickman confirmed that Linuo has not submitted any permit applications to the town.

“After the big announcement and resulting hoopla, I spoke with the people in our Building Department about the best and most efficient way to review and process anticipated building plans which, unfortunately, never appeared,” Hickman said in an email.

Empire State Development last year

offered Linuo an incentive package of $6 million in Excelsior tax credits in exchange for creating roughly 600 jobs in East Fishkill.

There is no public record of the offer, which would not have required board approval until the 600-job mark was reached and the tax credits were set to be disbursed.

Excelsior credits are performance based, meaning no funds have been or will be issued to Linuo until the requirements of the agreement are met, ESD spokesman Jason Conwall said.

Conwall said ESD “extensively vets” companies and conducts due diligence prior to making any offer. He said there have been instances when projects did not pan out within the expected timeline.

In May 2011, SpectraWatt, a solar startup spun out of Intel Corp. that had invested $80 million in a manufacturing facility on another part of the East Fishkill property, folded due to economic reasons.

The company had leased space from IBM since the previous May.

Wary of toll hikes— From page 1

The public meeting had been held just three days before.

The state estimates round-trip tolls on the new bridge will be $8.40 for commuters, $13.30 for E-ZPass users and $14 for those who pay cash.

Currently, commuters pay $3.30 roundtrip, while E-ZPass users pay $4.75 and cash customers pay $5.

For a commuter who crosses the bridge five days a week, the cost per week will increase almost 155 percent from $16.50 to $42.00, which comes to $2,184 annually.

If a bus rapid transit system were to be included in the initial construction of the bridge, tolls would jump to $16.80 for commuters and $28 for cash customers, Schwartz said.

He added tolls would rise to $7.20 for commuters and $12 for cash customers even if no new bridge were built, due to the high cost of repairs.

“Under any of the options, tolls will have to rise,” Schwartz said. “But we’re talking about in five years – we’re not talking about five minutes from now…We’re talking about five years from now when this new bridge opens.”

Representatives of several Tarrytown businesses last week said they expect the toll hikes will hurt both employees and customers.

Rich Friedman, general manager of the Doubletree by Hilton in Tarrytown, said that when the toll hikes take effect, businesses that had been planning meetings at the hotel or that had planned to send employees to attend meetings there may reconsider.

“People are going to be affected when prices rise like that and yes, from a business standpoint, if a company has got to reim-

Secretary to the Governor Larry Schwartz discussed the projected toll increases at an Aug. 5 meeting.

burse tolls for 50 people to come over for a meeting, chances are they’re going to stay on that side of the water,” Friedman said. “No one likes to see prices jump like that.”

The flip side of the argument, Friedman said, is that building a new bridge will help to generate economic activity and new business.

He said the Doubletree might need to look into providing transportation across the bridge for employees and clients, and added that the projected toll increase makes it even more necessary that mass transit be incorporated into the bridge.

Bjorn Olsson, executive director of the Tarrytown Music Hall, said between 10 and 15 percent of the theater’s patrons reside in Rockland County or New Jersey.

“For us, I would say it’s certainly not good,” Olsson said. “I think for all of us who run businesses on both sides of the river, we

worry about this because it’s not like going from $5 to $6 or $7 – it’s a whole new level of pricing. I don’t think any of us would say, with our products, ‘Why don’t we up the price by 200 percent today.’”

Schwartz at the Aug. 5 briefing twice dodged the question of whether the state would consider raising tolls now in order to reduce the amount by which tolls would need to be raised five years from now.

“These are the ballpark projections that we’ve been putting out there for these three options and that’s what I think we need to focus on,” he said.

At the Aug. 5 meeting, former Westchester County Executives Al DelBello, Andy O’Rourke and Andy Spano each spoke in support of the bridge plans.

A spokesman for County Executive Rob Astorino said that while Astorino is support-

ive of the bridge and the proposed commuter discount price, the forthcoming toll hike puts the spotlight back on mass transit.

“We understand it’s a significant hike and we really believe it underscores the need for some type of mass transit,” said spokesman Phil Oliva.

Town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner criticized the proposed toll hike, saying that the cost of building a new bridge should be spread across the state Thruway system rather than being confined to the Hudson Valley region.

“It’s going to impact the local businesses, restaurants and stores on both sides of the river, and small businesses,” Feiner said.

“The bridge construction (cost) should be absorbed by people throughout New York state and if they did that it would reduce tolls.”

White Plains to allow mixed-use developments on Platinum Mile

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

T

he White Plains Common Council unanimously approved zoning changes Aug. 6 that will allow new uses, including retail and residential developments, among the city’s Platinum Mile office parks.

The amendment to the comprehensive plan follows an extensive period of studies commissioned by the city to examine how incorporating mixed-use developments along Interstate 287 would impact the surrounding community.

White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach and the council members said allowing for a wider variety of developments and uses along the Platinum Mile would stimulate the office market and spur new investment in an

area desperate for tenants and new business.

“By allowing these additional uses … we are providing for the future of the city of White Plains, making White Plains even more attractive to businesses and job producers,” Councilman David Buchwald said at the meeting.

The changes allow for retail and residential components to be added to office parks falling within the city’s campus-office zoning district, including multifamily dwellings, commercial indoor recreation facilities, theaters, swimming pools, churches, public, private and nursery schools, scientific research facilities, stores and cafes, among other developments.

The amendment also calls for an increased emphasis on open spaces and connecting the office parks through a network of walking and bike trails.

Platinum Mile property owners looking to incorporate any of the newly permitted elements must first seek the city’s approval as a planned office development district.

White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach

Roach stressed that the amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan “will only permit the alternate uses in conjunction with office use,” adding that each site will be

handled on a case-by-case basis.

“We’re not looking to do anything out there that would siphon business away from our downtown,” Roach said just prior to the council’s vote. “However, we do think that by being more flexible in what can be placed out there, we’re going to enhance the value both of those properties as well as enhance the position of our city in general.”

At a public hearing held just prior to the council’s vote, Marissa Brett, executive director of economic development for the Westchester County Association, stressed the importance of planning for the future of the Platinum Mile office parks.

“The demand has changed. The idea that we’re going to fill up these office campuses with the tenants that have left is a fantasy,” Brett said. “We need to transform these office parks.

We need to encourage planning for the future.”

WCC gets challenge grant for humanities institute

BY JANICE KIRKEL jkirkel@westfairinc.com

W

estchester Community College (WCC), renewing its commitment to educating the immigrant population, applied for and has received a $300,000 challenge grant for two-year colleges from the National Endowment for the Humanities to establish a humanities institute, the focus of which will be educating those who have immigrated to the U.S. The grant requires the Westchester Community College Foundation to raise an additional $600,000 over four years. The money will ultimately be used to create an endowment to fund the institute beyond

the initial grant period. The institute would become part of the $40 million Gateway Center, which, among other missions, is dedicated to educating immigrants.

“We came up with the idea because it was in keeping with the Gateway Center, which has been a big hit,” said Frank Madden, chairman of the English department at WCC. He and Heather Ostman, assistant chairman of the department, will be co-directors of the humanities institute. “We have a huge English-as-a-second-language (ESL) program.” Madden said this all started about 10 years ago when Joseph Hankin, president of WCC, sent him an article about humanities institutes at various colleges. “The grant became available and I came up with the idea to get it,” said Madden.

In recent decades, he said, the county has had an influx of immigrants. “In the mid- to early 70s they were coming from the Middle East, a lot of Iranians. But then there was

no more of that after 1979 (the year of the Iranian revolution). Now they come from the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. If I had to identify any one place, most now are coming from Jamaica,” said Madden.

He said he would like to focus on Caribbean and Latin American literature at the institute. “Our ESL students tend to come from cultures where imaginative literature is appreciated more, the story of the culture is told through literature, metaphorical tales.

They love the idea of bringing literature into class from their own country and talking about it with other students, and other students are very receptive,” said Madden.”

This has been happening tacitly (at WCC, in various classes) but not in an organized way.”

The humanities institute project will get under way this fall. WCC will get $125,000 from the grant this year, $75,000 next year, $50,000 the third year and another $50,000 the fourth year. Madden says he will start

a speaker series with theme-based lectures.

“The religion of Pakistan, the PeruvianAmerican experience. We have the highest percentage of minorities of any community college in the state university system. The population is ready and waiting.”

Madden’s other ideas for the institute call for a film series. “Films devoted to the exploration of the immigrant experience – Chop Shop, Osama, Immigration Tango, Takeout. We’re using the humanities as an entry point.”

For many, an entry point is needed as they try to progress from a survival job to a career, said Patrick Hennessey, director of college community relations at WCC, who points out the more practical side to all of this. “First-generation individuals, what happens is they come to Westchester, they get low-level jobs but don’t get beyond that,” he said. “They get one rung up, but not two or three.”

Earnings in brief ITT revenue up

ITT reported earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter of $16.7 million, or 18 cents a share, down from $18.7 million, or 20 cents, in the year earlier period. Revenue rose from $552 million to $567 million. For the six months, earnings from continuing operations were $27 million, or 29 cents a share, compared with a loss of almost $3 million, or 3 cents, in the year earlier period. Revenue rose slightly to $1.1 billion.

The White Plains-based company stuck to its forecast of earnings for the full year of $1.62 to $1.72 a share. ITT makes industrial and technological equipment in the electronics, aerospace and transportation industries.

Xylem cuts forecast

Xylem, the spinoff of ITT Corp.’s water-

related businesses, reported an increase in second-quarter earnings but a decrease in revenue because of foreign currency factors. It cut its forecast for earnings and revenue for the year.

Xylem, based in White Plains, earned $89 million, or 48 cents a share, up from $72 million, or 39 cents, a year earlier. Revenue fell by $5 million to $966 million.

For the first six months of the year, earnings rose by $2 million to $152 million. Per share earnings were flat at 82 cents. Revenue rose by $30 million to almost $1.9 billion. Xylem cited the weak economy and strong dollar, which makes exports of U.S. goods less attractive, as the reasons for the cut in its forecast.

MasterCard earnings up

MasterCard reported second quarter profit of $700 million, or $5.55 a share, up 17 percentfrom $608 million, or $4.76, a year earlier.

Revenue was up 9 percent from a year earlier, to $1.8 billion. Volume was up 15 percent, processed transactions rose almost 30 percent and cross-border volumes were up 17 percent. Worldwide purchase volume was up 13 percent to $661 billion.

For the six-month period, revenue was up 13 percent to $3.6 billion. Earnings were $1.4 billion, or $10.91 a share, up from $1.2 billion, or $9.05, in the first half of 2011.

Con Ed profit rises

Consolidated Edison’s second-quarter earnings rose to $214 million, or 73 cents a share, from $165 million, or 57 cents, in the year earlier period.

Earnings from ongoing operations for the quarter were $178 million, or 61 cents a share. For

the six months, earnings rose to $491 million or $1.68 a share, from $477 million or $1.63 a year earlier. Profit from ongoing operations was $473 million, or $1.62, up from $456 million or $1.56 in the year-earlier period.

Con Ed said its field operations benefited from the mild winter to prepare delivery systems for the summer. It said operations and maintenance expenses were higher in the 2012 periods because of pension costs and the support and maintenance of underground facilities to accommodate municipal projects.

Westchester Medical Center cuts 124 Westchester Medical Center is firing 124 workers as it continues to outsource jobs to save money. A spokesman did not say how much money would be saved.

The workers were notified Aug. 6 that their last day at work would be Aug. 20.

Hospital spokesman David Billig said these cuts are the final step in the center’s outsourcing partnership with Medical Staffing Network. Medical center officials believe the layoffs will result in better care, he said.

“By merging the roles of several different titles, we will improve care, safety, communication, efficiency and flexibility to adjust staffing levels,” Billig said in a statement.

Peter Piazza, president of CSEA Unit 9201, the Civil Service Employees Association, which represents the workers being let go, was reported as saying 83 hospital clerks, six Spanish-speaking hospital aides, one assistant supervisor and 34 patient care technicians are being laid off. Calls to the union for comment were not returned by press time.

“These are people that are working with the patients on a daily basis.

Some of them are in the emergency room,” Piazza told a news outlet. “Some of these workers have been with the medical center for over 30 years. By letting these workers go, the center clearly doesn’t care about the care their patients receive.”

Billig said the workers being laid off can reapply for their jobs through Medical Staffing Network.

Building leadership throughout a business I am not as happy with results recently.

My partner and I discussed the situation and concluded that we’ve allowed things to happen – or not happen – to the detriment of the business. It’s us.

How do we as business owners get the business back on track?

Thoughts of the day: Owners need to be leaders as well as doers and then build a culture of leadership throughout the organization. To be successful, business owners must set aside regular planning and evaluation time.

Most business owners are fairly autocratic and heads-down practical in their choice of vision. Their way or the highway. Get the work done, get paid and go home. In these scenarios, at least the organization has some form of a vision to follow. But the possibility exists that valuable input from employees gets lost as people seek to conform to, rather than confront and debate, the owner’s vision.

The attitude of head-down working, common to so many hard-working business owners, can lead to the business getting stuck. Customers’ needs expand.

Competitors come and go and change their tactics and strategies. Marketplace shifts are subtle and often go unnoticed. Most of this gets overlooked in the press of daily business.

It’s easy to get caught up in the flow of the business. Being busy with day-to-day challenges takes the place of leadership. Then one day it’s a whole new ballgame and the business is nowhere near prepared enough to compete effectively.

Owners need to set aside regular analysis and planning time, not just for themselves, but for everyone in the organization.

Leadership is about challenging people to develop their thinking and planning skills.

Get out of the habit of working flat out from the start to the end of the day. Ensure that people have time to meet, to work out problems and analyze how things are going.

Teach people to look critically and collaboratively at what’s going well, what needs fixing and how things might be changing. Teach people to discuss, debate and solve problems cooperatively.

As an owner, you want to build your collaboration skills. Practice being inquisitive.

Listen in order to understand and appreciate what people are going through. Be patient.

Give your people time to work through problems and develop solutions. As they do, they take ownership and begin to lead.

Distribute leadership responsibility. Ask people to provide their suggestions, meet to debate options and then implement solutions. When things go right, praise the players. When things go wrong, ask the players to find new solutions. Observe, guide, but don’t command. Eventually you’ll have an organization made up of people who can think for themselves, leading the way forward within an overall context.

Most business owners start out with a clear idea of what they want to accomplish – a good product or service, satisfied clients, good employees, profits or impact on the marketplace. Those are the dreams that fuel the start-up phase of the business. But as time goes on, the day-to-day challenges get in the way of long-term planning, evaluation and recalculation.

The business grows, gains customers, adds employees and faces marketplace challenges. The original vision of the company needs reshaping, taking into account all the experiences – positive and negative. The world keeps changing, and as the business evolves within that ever-changing world, so must the business’ mission, vision, purpose, goals and measures of success.

Develop the skills of leadership, analysis, action and reevaluation at every level of the company. Encourage group insight, awareness and collaboration. Help to secure your company’s future by teaching your employees how to cope with an ever-changing world.

Developing a niche market

W

hile you can’t compete with the millions of dollars mega-organizations spend on advertising and public relations, you can know what your customers want, need and desire better than the “big guys” and use free marketing money to help. By focusing your budget with laser-like precision you’ll get much more from what you spend by developing a niche market.

By definition, a niche market is composed of customers and prospects that all have similar interest or something in common such as golf, a specific type of music or the same heritage. Tightly define your market and then focus your marketing campaign on what your customer or prospect wants and speak directly to them using plain language. A big spender’s ad may promise a lot, but contain asterisks referencing exceptions in the fine print.

Take advantage of this with a campaign that counters, “There are no asterisks.”

“Customers like getting mail and …

79 percent of all households read or scan the direct mail they receive, even younger adults,” according to DMA research.

Carefully targeted direct mail can do things that no other medium can.

Delivering a sample of your product ensures that prospects get a full marketing experience that can include touch, feel, sound, smell, perhaps even taste – not just a digital message. How about rewarding a loyal customer with a gift that provides instant gratification and helps intensify loyalty? Databases can target and locate new direct mail customers that have the same interest as those you are so good at serving now.

The dreamspeaker™

Yes, all successful marketing and public relations efforts are successful because they offer the best and most complete solution for solving the problems their customers are facing. By serving a carefully defined niche market you will know their problems better than any competitor and be able to deliver exactly what your customer or prospect wants The best marketing that can be done to beat the big spenders starts by knowing the problems that the people in your marketplace are facing better than anyone else. It ends by delivering the products or services customers need or want in a superior way. Targeted direct mail using customer testimonials is also a great way

of telling others what you do. Use free marketing money and optimize results.

Questions for discussion: • How well do we know our customers’ most important wants, needs and desires?

• Do we communicate an understanding of their problems and deliver the best solution?

Invite current and potential customers to a special event and make it easy for them to mingle and discuss the advantages of your organization.” The authors point out that “We feel obligated to return favors performed for us and social proof guides our behavior.” A successful special event is easy for a niche marketer because you already know what the ideal prospects’ common interests are.

social media trends

by bruce newman

Roadmap to success comes with caveats

A

highly accomplished friend of mine recently suggested that I look at several of the very popular women coaches who have rapidly built multimilliondollar businesses in the past few years. Since this very good friend is in fact a highly regarded presentation and business coach, I decided to follow up on her suggestion.

I viewed several presentations and accessed two products in the $500 to $700 range. I was not impressed with the content of either package, judging both of them to be pretty pedantic. I was, however, highly impressed with their packaging and social media marketing. (Incidentally, I will not publically disclose the presenters names since I am not endorsing them and wish to avoid any public dispute with their audience. I will however, disclose their names upon request via email.)

First, let’s address their content. In social media, we constantly talk about the importance of excellent content and how it is responsible for list building, successful webinars and inbound marketing. In fact, a recent webinar I attended by Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger – one of the most successful

online blogs, attributed his remarkable success to content marketing.

The basic question all of these products attempt to address is: What do you need to do to successfully build your business online?

Simply put, here are the basic steps: • You need to determine your target audience.

• You need to be able to reach them.

• You need to provide them with excellent content.

• You need to entice them to buy your product or service.

• You need to somehow remain in front of them.

The content of the two products I accessed appear to (at least) reasonably address these issues and identify several pain points, benefits and solutions. However, they are also fairly expensive. A third product whose landing page I will discuss shortly, costs $1,000 (actually $997). Can it help a business? Probably, but so can far less costly programs. The difference between these programs to a large degree is their marketing.

Without going into too much detail con-

cerning this landing page (whose analysis would be much longer than the page itself), I will merely focus on several of its key features.

(Note: a landing page is any page in which people are manually or automatically directed to. It is designed for some specific purpose – usually to make a sale or complete a sign-up form.)

The top of this landing page contained a short, well-made video that automatically started once I landed on the page. (I hate videos that automatically start once you land on a page, but studies show that they are far more effective than pages that rely on viewers to manually start a video.)

Examination of key terms in the page revealed the following emotional phrases: • “… for effortlessly creating 6-figure launches” – The implication being that it’s easy to create an extremely profitable launch.

It is not. It rarely happens and takes a lot of planning and work. In fact, every successful product release requires a lot of work.

• “My step-by-step formula to convert 100 percent of exactly the RIGHT PEOPLE into your offering.” – First of all, I don’t know how you can do 100 percent of anything. How do you even define who the right people are? I assume this implies that you have accurately identified your target market.

• “The most heavily guarded secrets…” – Which we will receive for $1,000. Obviously, they have limited security.

• “I’ll show you how you can fill your call – EVEN WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF YOU BEFORE.” – This excites

me. It certainly sounds a lot better than: “Make sure to ask all your social media friends and acquaintances to promote my product.”

As I said, semantics laden with emotion can be extremely persuasive and these landing pages are replete with many similar phrases that I could also have selected. Not surprisingly, these phrases and follow-up text comprise the majority of the landing page, the remainder consisting of testimonials and the product offer itself, which is actually the smallest landing page component.

My purpose in this article is not to disparage these moderate-to-expensive products. Some of them are certainly worthwhile and can greatly help a business, the $2,000 product I use being one of them. However, an increasing number of these “be successful/ be your own boss/earn a six figure income” products are merely repackaged content that is beautifully presented in a limited-time manner through email and social media to elicit an emotional response. They are correct from one perspective, however: They do help the presenter generate a 6-figure launch.

Look carefully before you jump and make sure there’s a 100 percent return guarantee.

Rendering of the planned green house at the Sarah Neuman Center.

Mamaroneck nursing home to go ‘green’

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

T

he Sarah Neuman Center, a 300-bed nursing home complex in Mamaroneck owned and operated by Jewish Home Lifecare, is going green.

Jewish Home Lifecare, a New York City-based elder care provider that also operates nursing homes in the Bronx and Manhattan, began renovations to the Sarah Neuman Center earlier in August as it aims to model itself after The Green House Project initiative.

The initiative, which ironically has no relationship to the sustainable building movement, aims to foster smaller, more intimate communities for nursing home residents.

The concept of a noninstitutional model for nursing homes has taken root across the country, with so-called green houses in operation in 32 states, according to The Green House Project.

As it brings its facilities up to the green house standard, Jewish Home Lifecare is planning large-scale renovations to its Mamaroneck facility, including the construction of a new, two-story green house.

“The project at Sarah Neuman is to redefine the way that we provide elder care,” said Bruce Nathanson, senior vice president of communication for Jewish Home Lifecare. “The advantage of this is we create a new environment that is basi-

cally a home for our elders.”

The green house development at Sarah Neuman will accommodate 12 residents on each floor, and will include private rooms for each resident, a large kitchen and community dining area, and even fireplaces, Nathanson said.

He said construction of the green house is expected to begin in mid-2014, and should last 15 months. It will be funded primarily through philanthropy, with fundraising efforts already well underway, Nathanson said.

Renovations to the Pavilion wing of the Sarah Neuman Center have already begun, and should be completed by early 2016, Nathanson said.

As part of the renovation, the center’s administrators want the setting inside the main nursing home to resemble the future green house development as much as possible.

The primary differences will be that some residents will share rooms in the main facility, and that the public spaces will be slightly smaller there, Nathanson said.

“We’re creating households there that are as similar as possible to the green house model,” he said.

There will be no additional cost to residents living in the green house versus those living in the main facility, and the cost of caring for residents in both areas is expected to remain roughly the same.

Elders residing in green house-modeled nursing homes have an improved quality of life and receive better care when

compared to patients at typical nursing homes, The Green House Project contends on its website.

Jewish Home Lifecare is also planning to construct a new facility in Manhattan, which will be called the Living Center of Manhattan. The project will mark the first time the green house model is implemented in a high-density urban setting, according to Jewish Home Lifecare.

There will be no additional cost to residents living in the green house versus those living in the main facility, and the cost of caring for residents in both areas is expected to remain roughly the same.

The company expects to break ground on the Living Center in 2014, with construction expected to last three years.

The center will be built on 97th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, and follows years of efforts to replace the company’s current facility on West 106th Street with a more modern nursing home.

Job picture in transition for health care workers

BY JANICE KIRKEL jkirkel@westfairinc.com

t’s not an easy time to be a health care recruitment professional. With Obamacare on the horizon and changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, health care organizations are slimming down, the jobs that are available are highly specialized, and since many people who might have retired are not because of the economy, it’s tough for young people to get started. And how good you are at making money is almost as important as how good a clinician you are.

That’s the assessment of Laura Schachter, president of Professional Placement Associates of Purchase, who has owned the company since 1974.

“We work with hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, managed care companies and academic officials,” said Schachter, “and three hospitals in Westchester. People are looking for very specific backgrounds in what they seek and putting money into positions where it will enhance the organization’s ability to make money and save money.”

Public hospitals, especially, are trying to save money, she said. “Westchester Medical Center has laid off a lot of people.

And some public hospitals are starting to privatize certain departments so people are not on their benefit package, in areas such as food service and housekeeping. And the benefits of course are not as good.”

Organizations are trying to develop specialty areas to distinguish themselves, Schachter said, and “that makes jobs harder to fill. There are specialties and subspecialties, very specialized niches.

Perioperative – anybody involved with the operating room – is big. Transplant specialists, open heart specialists.” And as is often the case during troubled times for the labor market, the job openings and those looking for work do not match up.

“It’s hard to find people for those jobs, but if a new nursing grad comes to me I have to say I can’t help.” She said that’s because a lot of nurses were set to retire, but then the economy tanked, and they’re still working.

On the other hand, she said, there’s a lot of work dealing with managed care – especially Medicare Advantage plans and managed long-term care programs. “And it’s hard to find people to fill those jobs.”

Schachter also talked about how doctors jobs are changing.

“Hospitals are buying physician practices. For the hospital it gives them access

to all the patients and the doctors are compensated for funneling patients to hospitals. The hospitals do the billing,” so the practice doesn’t have to worry about that, she said. Not only that, but as would be obvious to anyone who has seen a doctor recently, practices are getting bigger. “They get much better rates from managed care. A small practice doesn’t have a person devoted to making sure the practice is getting the best rate it

can from insurance. Hospitals have much more clout on managed care rates.” She gave WESTMED as an example. “Doctors come in there and get reimbursed more for their services.”

And the life of the doctor and the patient has changed dramatically.

“Doctors work Monday to Friday now, no weekends,” she said. “There are hospitalists to see people in the hospital. Your own doctor doesn’t see you in the hospital.”

Report: Physician compensation on the decline

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

A

s medical costs rise and reimbursement rates drop precipitously, smallphysician practices are going by the wayside in Westchester County.

While the trend is far from new, Alan Badey, managing partner of consulting firm Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains office, said even those doctors who chose to join a hospital or larger practice are facing the prospect of significantly lower compensation.

Badey and John Bryan, partner in Citrin Cooperman’s office, are drafting a white paper on different tactics being explored by hospitals and physician-owned medical groups as they seek to balance patient care and profits.

Under all of the various scenarios, compensation is shrinking, they write.

“Amidst all the aforementioned maneuvering by doctors to fit into the new health care compensation paradigm, a sobering fact is unavoidable: The overall revenue pie is shrinking,” a draft of the white paper concludes.

While in smaller physician groups doctors were able to divide profits among themselves, hospitals and larger practices are now devising formulas intended to provide for a fair compensation model.

A common method is basing compensation on relative value units, a phrase coined by a Harvard University professor, the report states.

Hospitals and multispecialty practices choosing that route, though, must then determine exactly how to value a cardiologist

versus a general practitioner, or a dermatologist versus a brain surgeon.

“Years and years ago, a doctor used to deal with performed services and make a nice healthy living off of providing those services,” Badey said in an interview. “A decade ago there was ample profitability in those (independent medical) groups.”

Now, Badey said, “that has gone by the wayside.”

Among the risks being assumed by hospitals and multispecialty practices, Badey said, is that profits could come before patient care.

“That’s one of the big rubs that’s going on in the whole medical industry, that the government and insurance companies have set the formulas up so that physicians are chasing profits,” he said.

“It’s just the way the system has been set up, that that’s the way you get compensated.

It’s a problem … they’re trying to figure out how to get this delicate balance of patient care and reimbursement to work in sync with each other.”

Alan Badey, managing partner of Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains office.

“That’s one of the big rubs that’s going on in the whole medical industry, that the government and insurance companies have set the formulas up so that physicians are chasing profits.” ­— Alan Badey Compensating doctors based on their relative value “is intended to take some of that away,” Badey said, by posing the question, “What’s the underlying work component and expense component of actually performing this care for this patient?”

The effect of the compensation declines is that it will be more difficult for doctors to practice in Westchester County and other areas that feature a relatively high cost of living.

For patients, that means there will be fewer physicians to treat them just as millions of additional people nationwide will now be insured under the Affordable Care Act. “I think that what’s going to happen is you’re going to have to leverage the industry.

In other words … more of the patient care is going to have to be done by nonphysicians, both in primary care and specialty practices.”

Badey said that ultimately, practices will look to productivity and how much in profits each physician generates.

“They (the practices) are going to use some measure of productivity to generate compensation, and that’s probably the only fair way to do it.”

Region’s hospitals vow to help vets

There is a new resource for veterans who need help finding a job or with health care needs. VetConnect is a web-based initiative designed to raise awareness about the employment and health care needs of veterans in the Hudson Valley, especially returning veterans. It went live Aug. 8.

VetConnect is the work of the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association and its member hospitals in the Hudson Valley and Westchester. The association represents hospitals on legislative and regulatory matters.

Veterans can access VetConnect via the association’s website, www.normet.org.

Users are then directed to pages with links to the job banks of hospitals and to military skills translation assistance and jobtraining programs for veterans interested

Health news in brief in careers in health care. Veterans can also access the service via hospitals’ websites through the VetConnect logo.

“Our hospitals recognize the extraordinary service our veterans have made to our country, said Kevin Dahill, the association’s president and CEO. “All our hospitals are committed to assisting veterans with their employment and health care needs.”

Veterans will get additional job assistance Aug. 23 when Empire City Casino in Yonkers hosts a veterans-only job fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Law cuts through managed-care red tape

A bill signed into law Aug. 1 by Gov. Andrew Cuomo will cut through some of the bureaucracy imposed by managedcare plans.

The law prevents unilateral coding adjustments by insurers without a review of medical records. It also prevents plans from denying reimbursement to a hospital if it does not notify an insurer of an emergency admission in a timely fashion.

“These important reforms will reduce unnecessary and costly obstacles to providing effective health care services, while protecting access to services,” said Daniel Sisto, president of the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS). “Managed care reform is critical as our hospitals strive to provide the best possible care in a constantly changing environment.”

The lead sponsors of the bill were state Sen. Kemp Hannon of Nassau County and Assemblyman Joseph Morelle of Rochester.

Specifically, the legislation would allow a provider to resubmit a claim with a medical record within 30 days if it disputes the

insurance plan’s attempt to lower the level of its reimbursement. If the plan upholds its coding determination, it must provide the hospital with the specific reason for the determination.

The legislation would also prevent plans from denying entire claims based on policies requiring notification of emergency admissions. Hospitals and plans can agree to payment reductions for failure of timely notification, but they would be limited to $2,000 or 12 percent of the payment due, whichever is less. Plans must also make exceptions for weekends and holidays, as well as patients who are unable to provide accurate coverage information.

HANYS represents 500 nonprofit and public hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies and other health care organizations.

Health news in brief Elant, HV Heart Center team up

Elant, a provider of senior health and housing, has partnered with Hudson Valley Heart Center to enable Elant at Fishkill residents in need of cardiac care to receive on-site treatment from a nurse practitioner.

The relationship between Elant at Fishkill and the Heart Center enhances the cardiac care available to the nursing home’s residents and also relieves residents and their families of the stress associated with transporting an elderly individual to a doctor’s office away from the facility.

“Through this new relationship, both Elant and the Heart Center are working to improve the care of our shared patients that have been discharged from the hospital and transferred to Elant,” said Dr. James J. Lyons, the physician who oversees The Heart Center program. “Many times, these patients find it too difficult to make appointments with us because of the logistics or challenges associated with traveling. This relationship will

provide Elant residents with the care they need and will help avoid trips to the hospital through early recognition and treatment of cardiac disease as well as education and preventive services.”

Both Elant and The Heart Center are planning to expand the partnership to include training for the Elant staff, so that they may recognize early signs of any changes in a patient’s cardiac condition.

For additional information on Elant at Fishkill’s partnership with The Heart Center, contact (800)501-3936 or e-mail info@elant.org.

Rye Radiology offers 3D mammography

Rye Radiology Associates has become the first facility between Manhattan and Syracuse to offer the new FDA-approved 3D mammography, which finds more breast cancers than traditional mammography.

3D mammography finds more breast can-

cers in all breast types, especially dense breasts, by taking millimeter-thin images through the entire breast, increasing accuracy and helping radiologists better discern between cancer and normal, harmless breast densities.

“In 38 years of practicing radiology, I believe 3D mammography is the most significant breakthrough in breast cancer screening. Studies show this technology finds more breast cancers with less false positives than usual 2D views,” said Dr. Diane LoRusso, cofounder of Rye Radiology.

The experience is the same as a traditional mammogram, with the exception of the x-ray tube moving while the patient is being compressed.

Through Project Lifesaver, seniors are fitted with special radio-frequency bracelets.

Then, should they wander away from their homes, specifically trained and equipped police from the county Department of Public Safety can find them using the radio signals that the bracelets transmit.

To be eligible for Project Lifesaver, a senior must live in Westchester, be dependent upon the person they live with and have a tendency to wander. A limited number of bracelets are still available.

The batteries in the bracelets must be changed every month. To make the service as convenient as possible for caregivers, there are eight sites at senior centers, nutrition sites and social adult day centers throughout the county where new batteries can be obtained.

Cultivating a healthy outlook

Hudson Valley Hospital Center begins monthly farmers’ market

“This is a continuation, an extension if you will, of the Harvest for Health project we kicked off in the spring,” he said.

The healthy-eating initiative also includes Seeds for Health, an educational and therapeutic program for cancer patients and their families conducted through the on-site Organic Garden for Healing. The garden offers hands-on lessons on nutrition and the therapeutic value of gardening.

“The farmers’ market is an outgrowth of our garden,” Federspiel added.

Myra Marsocci, who designed the garden through her Crompond-based company Shades of Green, had a booth filled with products such as edamame, cucumbers and “pick-its,” her term for herbs such as rosemary, sage and thyme that people can grow to add a healthy and flavorful touch to their own cooking.

Providing the community a way to connect with what was on offer – such as Marsocci’s herbs do – is another way to spread the healthy message, Federspiel added.

“We’re really trying to encourage our community to buy local and eat healthy. This market really meets so many of our goals.”

And those goals, he added, include increasing the amount of locally sourced vegetables

parking lot at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt Manor was turned into a vibrant marketplace in late July.

The inaugural edition of the HVHC Farmers’ Market drew a healthy lunchtime crowd that had its pick of farmfresh and often organic items ranging from tomatoes to sweet corn, jams to meat and flowers to prepared foods and baked goods.

Also on hand at the event on July 31 were hospital nutritionists and master gardeners from Cornell Cooperative Extension.

Winter Sun Farms in New Paltz was offering samples of homemade blueberry muffins to entice shoppers to stop by and hear Sarah Nagle talk about its Winter Share program that offers Hudson Valley produce throughout that season.

Meanwhile, Taina Scalf, the admitting manager of the hospital, was spending some of her lunch break at the market.

“I get excited over things like this,” she said.

The market, she added, reflects the healthier approach the hospital has been integrating.

“They’ve made a lot of changes in the cafeteria,” she said, noting items such as soy milk being on offer.

From the moment she heard of the market through internal channels, Scalf said she had a goal in mind.

“I knew I wanted cheese,” she said, heading off to find some.

Steps away, hospital president John C. Federspiel was enjoying an early lunch.

“This is green gazpacho from Rogowski farm. It’s really delicious,” he said of the soup featured by W. Rogowski Farm in Pine Island.

“The soil (there) is so rich and fertile, they don’t have to use any chemicals.”

Federspiel said he was pleased with the response the market was receiving.

Comics. The company last summer asked a state judge to prevent Silberkleit from working at the company’s offices at 325 Fayette Ave. in Mamaroneck and to bar her from contacting company employees and vendors.

In January, Jonathan Goldwater, who shares the co-CEO title and company director duties with Silberkleit and is the brother of Michael Silberkleit’s late business partner and co-publisher, filed a second lawsuit in Manhattan seeking her removal as company director and officer. If she stays, Goldwater said, the “iconic American company” is in danger of failing and being liquidated.

Silberkleit, a Rye resident, that same week went to state Supreme Court in White Archie, page 9

In the three-county region, “Gains in education, health services and tourism have been partially offset by sizable losses in government, construction and manufacturing,” DiNapoli wrote.

Unemployment in the region fell to 6.4 percent last December from 7.2 percent in December 2009; however, the report noted that much of that decline was due to a drop in the state’s labor force rather than employment increases.

T

he fastest growing age demographic in the United States today are people 85 and older. Geriatric medicine is a specialty that focuses on the complex needs of our aging population and addresses the debility and frailty associated with advanced years – dementia, agitation, risk of falling and medication interactions. In addition to helping those with complicated physical and mental conditions, geriatricians are faced with a new challenge – taking care of the elderly who live independently and expect to lead active lives.

As a fellowship-trained geriatrician at White Plains Hospital, I have firsthand experience with the challenges the elderly face.

To illustrate just some of the complexities encountered in treating older people, I will give as examples two of my elderly patients.

Mr. A is a resident at an assisted-living facility where I am the physician on staff.

After an initial meeting with him, he asked me to be his primary care provider. I was confident I would be able to address the scope of his needs. He is 86 but could be mistaken for 55. He is very well dressed, steady on his feet and personable. He was not taking any medications and did not use any mobility-assisting equipment. What amazed me most, however, was the story he told me about the impetus behind his move into the assisted-living facility.

He recounted how he had recently fallen apart after a heartbreaking split with a girlfriend with whom he had fallen deeply in love in a short time. I was moved by his sense of loss and simultaneously realized how my geriatric practice sometimes has little to do with age. Mr. A is currently recuperating with the help of counseling and medication, and leading an active social life at an assisted-

and produce, along with made-from-scratch meals, served throughout the hospital.

“This initiative has really generated some great contacts,” he added.

Among those, he noted, was Glynwood in Cold Spring, which not only encourages people to support farming and conserve farmland but also works its own land as a prime example.

Dave Llewellyn, the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) manager of Glynwood, called the market “fantastic and

living facility.

Another of my patients, I’ll call him Mr. P, is struggling with a different problem. A 90-year-old executive in excellent physical condition who drives to Manhattan every day, Mr. P desperately needs help caring for his 86-year-old wife with dementia. His situation is yet another example that the issues confronting those of advanced age are diverse and complex.

A few weeks ago, I spoke to a group of seniors about strategies to maintain their health, an energetic and enthusiastic group, all above 85. Their goal: to preserve their vitality for as long as possible. Early detection of disease, advances in medicine and the broad availability of health information have all contributed to the creation of a new breed of educated consumers. And with this come new opportunities to improve health care and outcomes in this steadily growing population.

As a society we must be more attentive to the needs of seniors and build on programs, policies and services that help them live out the remainder of their lives most productively. We need to counter the fatalism, cynicism and ageism that are so often associated with what should be graceful aging, so that our mature years can be met with dignity and respect. As a nation, we must continue to engage in a thoughtful dialogue about care and the often unnecessary medical interventions at the end of life. Above all, we must seek to maintain the best quality of life for those suffering from terminal illness.

Raj Buddhavarapu, M.D., is the director of geriatrics and palliative care at White Plains Hospital. He is board certified in both geriatric medicine and hospice and palliative medicine. He can be reached at Rbuddhavarapu@wphospital.org. important” and was already seeing all kinds of customers.

“Some people have just a few minutes and want to buy some produce and run, and some people want to stop and hear about what we do. It’s our job to read people,” he said with a smile.

The market, Llewellyn added, already shows great potential.

“I think we’re going to see a lot of wonderful things happening.”

The market schedule will continue from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, Aug. 28, Sept. 25, Oct. 30 and Nov. 20 at the hospital center, at 1980 Crompond Road. For more details, visit hvhc.org.

GOOD happening In and THINGS about the hudson valley Bloomin’ art show

HV

The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance presents “Art in Bloom,” featuring fine artwork side by side with live floral interpretations of the art. This group exhibition in the Krause Recital Hall at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St., Narrowsburg, opened Aug. 10 and is curated by Jane Luchsinger. The show is free and open to the public.

Modeled after the popular, longstanding exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and other museums around the country, Art in Bloom will feature live floral arrangements composed by local garden clubs, master gardeners and florists. Each arrangement is a visual interpretation of a painting or sculpture, which will also be on display. The floral interpretations are expressed through color, shape, style and theme of the artwork.

Master gardeners include Alison Peck, Mia Koerner and Anne Hart. Florists include Enchanted Florist, The Cutting Garden and Sugar Blossom Flowers.

Artists include David Bush. Barbara Zweig, Philip Jostrom, Jill Mackie, Linda Bastian, Naomi Teppich, Claudine Luchsinger, Jane McNulty, Anne Finneran and Robin Solvang.

For more information, call Delaware Valley Arts Alliance at (845) 252-7576.

A swinging fundraiser

The Elant Foundation’s 5th annual Elant Golf Classic, which took place July 12, raised more than $40,000. More than 150 golfers, volunteers and dinner guests came together for the outing held at the Dutchess Golf and Country Club in Poughkeepsie.

The event’s proceeds will benefit the 2012 fundraising campaign, “The New Elant Dining Experience,” which will change the residential dining experience at all Elant locations.

Improvements are set to include an array of menu selections for each course, personalized tableside care and a new, restaurant-style environment where residents can share the experience with family and friends.

“All of us at Elant are so pleased with the outcome of this year’s event and very grateful to each and every one of our players, attendees and sponsors,” said Melissa McCoy, director of corporate initiatives at Elant. “The number of businesses in our community who continue to show their support, year after year, is truly vital to Elant, its mission, residents and their families.”

Sponsors were highlighted throughout the day’s events on programs, golf carts and signage, including this year’s title sponsor, Med-World, an Omnicare company. Players received a number of donated gift items, including a travel garment back, and several on-course specialties from sponsors Texas Roadhouse, Edible Arrangements, the Newburgh Brewing Co., as well as end-of-day chair massages.

The first-place men’s team was comprised of Mark Fellenzer, Fellenzer Engineering; Ray VanVorrhis, Liscum McCormack VanVoorhis L.L.P.; Paul Hoffner; and James Feraca, John Herbert Co. “This year’s golf classic would not have been possible without the time and effort of our generous committee of business and community leaders,” said Todd Whitney, presi-

Local officials and members of the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce joined Caffe a la Mode partners Scott Elfant and Tom Torres and their families to celebrate the grand opening of their expanded dining area with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. From left, Michael Johndrow, executive director of the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce; Mayor Michael Newhard; Scott and Jennifer Elfant with their daughter, Jordyn, 4; Tom and Krystal Torres, with their daughter, Ava, six months; town of Warwick Supervisor Michael Sweeton; and Cedric Glasper, president of the chamber.

More room for food

Caffe ala Mode has recently undergone a unique expansion providing patrons a more open yet inviting atmosphere to enjoy their favorite treat. It is in the heart of the village of Warwick and the renovated decor includes a custom-made community table as well as additional indoor and outdoor seating.

Famous for its Graham Cracker coffee, Caffe ala Mode also offers an assortment of gourmet and flavored coffees from around the world, by the cup or by the pound. Tea lovers are not forgotten as Caffe offers 18 long-leaf herbal teas.

Breakfast is served all day and the lunch menu includes a large variety of unique and delicious sandwich wraps, salads, quesadillas and burgers. And to top it off, Caffe ala Mode offers 16 flavors of premium ice cream all of which can be made into handmade shakes.

Art talk

Christoph Cox, professor of philosophy at Hampshire College, faculty member at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, and author of “Nietzsche: Naturalism and Interpretation” and co-editor of “Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music” discussed the sound work Time Piece Beacon by artist Max Neuhaus during a one-hour walkthrough at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, 3 Beekman St., Beacon, Aug.11.

The recipient of a 2009 Arts Writers Grant from Creative Capital/Warhol Foundation, Cox is editor-at-large at Cabinet magazine and writes regularly for Artforum, the Wire and other publications. He has curated exhibitions at the Kitchen, New York City; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; New Langton Arts, San Francisco; and G Fine Art Gallery, Washington, D.C.; and has written catalog essays for exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, Mass MoCA and Berlin’s Akademie der Künste. Currently, Cox is completing a philosophical book about sound art and experimental music.

Field trip grants available

The Community Foundations, based in Poughkeepsie, through a $100,000 grant from the Dyson Foundation, is offering the Field Trip Grant Program for the 2012-13 school year.

“We are grateful to the Dyson Foundation for its ongoing support of this program and interest in expanding the opportunity for field trips to schools and students in Ulster County,” said Jennifer Killian, director of programs.

The field trip grant program was created in response to growing pressures on public school budgets. While overall spending and per-pupil spending has gone up considerably since 2000, a majority of public schools throughout the Hudson Valley region has been forced to cut educational enhancements like field trips and art/music programs.

Last year $50,000 in field-trip grants were awarded to public schools throughout Dutchess County. These grants took students on trips, which included New York City, the Hudson River, museums, environmental study trips and the state capitol in Albany.

Online grant applications are available at cfhvny.org. For questions, contact Jennifer Killian, director of programs at jkillian@cfhvny.org or (845) 452-3077.

For more information about the Community Foundations, how you can establish a charitable fund or make a gift, call (845) 452-3077 or visit cfhvny.org.

A new perspective on life

Garrison Art Center is hosting an exhibition of new photographs by photographer Brian Nice through Sept. 2 on Garrison’s Landing in Garrison. The artist will be present at the gallery every Saturday from noon until 2 p.m. for the duration of the show to meet with visitors and answer any questions. Viewing hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A renowned fashion and beauty photographer with more than 30 years, Nice began his career as a photographer in Australia, expanded to Paris and now is based in New York City.

One of his passions has been landscape photography and one of his dreams to work on a project with his father Don Nice, renowned artist and local Garrison legend were fulfilled In 2008, when father and son set out to Greenland. Brian took photographs while Don painted the icebergs.

After a traumatic brain injury in 2009, followed by numerous surgeries and ongoing therapy, Nice has found a way to continue his fine art photography with a completely new focus. He has created a new body of work that will debut at Garrison Art Center in an exhibition titled “A Point of View.”

“My current work is very different, yet helps me express and show how I see the world now. It allows me to continue my art and gives me a real sense of myself. I still connect to the world through a camera: I just have a different perspective. This validates that there are many ways of seeing and relating to life, none being better than another, just different.”

For more information about Nice and to see his blog, visit helpbriannice.com. For information about Garrison Art Center visit garrisonartcenter.org or call (845) 4243960.

Handcrafted with love

Public officials and representatives from Warwick’s business community joined Abigail Stever and Melissa Schultz recently for the official grand opening of Eat Sweet Bakery at the South Street entrance to 28 Railroad Ave. The new bakery is the second retail outlet for the owners, who currently operate a retail bakery at 792 County Route 1 in Pine Island. Eat Sweet Bakery products have also been a favorite at local farmers’ markets and festivals. Stever and Schultz are best friends who have been baking for 20 years. They met as teenagers when they were baking for the Runcible Bakery in Nyack, where they grew up.

“It was our collective passion for baking and love of art along with our strong friendship that inspired us to start Eat Sweet 15 years later,” said Stever. “With lots of hard work and help from our amazing friends and families we’ve been able to build a kitchen, open two bakeshops and make our childhood dreams into a reality.”

Their handcrafted baked goods include cakes, classic cookies, truffles, linzer cookies, mini linzer tarts, shortbread, sugar cookies, French macaroons, cake pops, brownies, blondies and custom-designed cookies, cupcakes and treats for any occasion.

“All of our baked goods,” said Stever, “are hand crafted from simple high-quality ingredients. Most importantly our products are made with love and attention to detail.”

On safari

Porcelain painter Paola Bari, recently returned from time spent in Africa, has created fantasy images of cheetahs, lions and other animals, which will be presented in an exhibit, through Sept. 3, titled Safari, at the RiverWinds Gallery, 172 Main St. in Beacon. The exhibit may viewed Wednesdays to Mondays noon to 6 p.m.

Bari will talk about her travels and the cheetahs Aug. 18, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the gallery. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of her artwork will go to the Cheetah Conservation Foundation.

“Without our intervention, cheetahs are predicted to be extinct in the next 20 years. I have always been in love with animals, especially with cats. After traveling to Africa and enjoying every moment spent looking at the wildlife, I decided at that time that I needed to do something to help preserve large felines for the future generations,” said Bari.

After meeting Dr. Laurie Marker, founder of the Cheetah Conservation Foundation, at a conference in Philadelphia, Bari volunteered at the foundation headquarters in Namibia in November 2011 and helped with programs to re-balance the environment between animals and humans. She will return to Namibia this coming October.

Regarding her presentation Aug. 18, Bari says, ”I am asking your support for the survival of these beautiful creatures.”

Her artwork, which will be on sale are porcelain and Limoges pieces with overglaze colors, European close-medium, lusters and precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum. Once painted, each piece requires to be fired around 1400-1450 F degrees to make the colors permanent on the china surface. Many pieces need to be fired multiple times,

depending on the motif and on the variety of the material used. Bari has studied in Italy and Switzerland.

Roosevelt with readings of the 1935 and 1983 Social Security signing statements, “A Promise to All Generations: Stories and Essays about Social Security and Frances Perkins” (coedited by Breiseth), and “Driving with FDR: A Calendrical Biography.” The forthcoming book “Driving with FDR” is written by event co-chairman Stefan Lonce, editor of The Montauk Sun newspaper. Attendees will celebrate the occasion with refreshments, including two special birthday cakes and free admission to the Roosevelt Library’s current special exhibition “The Roosevelts: Public Figures, Private Lives,” the largest photography exhibit ever assembled on the lives and public careers of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt.

Held Tuesday Sept. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery located on Little York Road off Route 1A between Warwick and Pine Island, the event is presented by the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce. It will highlight local cuisine as well as eco-friendly dining and a sense of community. In an elegant, candle-lit tent under the starts, guests can sample local wines and food while listening to live music by the E’Lissa Jones trio.

Academy receives $35,000 award

TogetherGreen, a conservation initiative of the National Audubon Society and Toyota, provides financial support for projects that use innovative approaches and technologies to engage new and diverse audiences in conservation and address pressing conservation problems.

The initiative awarded $35,000 to San Miguel Academy of

Newburgh, which has attempted to address some of the dire economic conditions of area residents –35.3 percent of whom under the age of 18 live in poverty – by providing its middleschool students a quality education at zero cost. Its innovative curriculum enhancement project will emphasize a hands-on approach to its science program, which will provide for students to visit partner conservation locations one day per week during the next academic year.

The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum in Cornwall and Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary in Cold Spring will be the partner organizations. Curriculum objectives will include observing and listening to migratory songbirds, assessing which birds and other area wildlife are at risk as well as thriving in urbanized landscapes, and developing ideas about how to take action to help them. Water conservation will also be a focus with the restoration of the Hudson River holding several potential education targets by combining studies of the natural world and citizen engagement.

“Groups that won innovation grants this year have ingenuity and creativity on full display. And that’s what it takes to tackle the environmental challenges we face today,” said Audubon President and CEO David Yarnold. “I’m proud to partner with these innovators in creative approaches to achieve healthier communities and big conservation results.”

Since 2008, more than $5.5 million in TogetherGreen Innovation Grants funding has been awarded to more than 200 environmental projects nationwide. This year’s grant projects will receive more than $1 million in funding and will involve more than 500 partner organizations nationwide.

Many of the projects focus on engaging audiences that have traditionally been under-served by the conservation movement, from landowners to religious institutions to inner city students.
