DEAD PROJECT COMES ALIVE

New owners of 120 Bloomingdale look to entice upscale retailers

MALL PREPS FOR OPENING • 5

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

t 120 Bloomingdale Road in White Plains, the architect is the same. The city-approved square footage is the same. The project’s cost estimate, at the low end, is the same. The vision of high-end retail shops – think Greenwich or Manhasset – is the same. But since the economy crashed in 2008, some things have changed in Westchester real estate. At 120 Bloomingdale Road, the owner-developer has changed. So too has the brand name on a development that is much the same as that planned five summers ago. In 2008, principals at Core Plus Properties L.L.C. in Stamford planned a fall groundbreaking for a new commercial use on their 6-acre property at 120 Bloomingdale Road – the former Nestle Co. headquarters campus for which they and financial

greenburgh appeals antenna court order Telecom company won suit to get 20 permits in town BY MarK LuNGariELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

The ToWn of greenburgh is appealing a court order that says it must issue permits to install 20 cellphone antennas on utility poles in residential neighborhoods. NextG Networks of NY Inc., a subsidiary of Crown Castle International Corp. of Houston, sued the town based on an application filed in November 2009 to install a “distributed antenna system” that would address service deadspots in the area. After an extended application and review process that the judge likened to pingpong, the Greenburgh Town Board finally rejected NextG’s

application in July 2012. By then, the company had already set a deadline and promised a lawsuit if the town didn’t meet its date for a decision. U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel, in a July 3 ruling, said the town’s reasoning for rejecting the applications was based partially on a misinterpretation of the law. Seibel also said she ordered the permits issued rather than send the matter back to the town based on its snail’s pace in handling the application process. Seibel in a 45-page ruling said “the bureaucratic hoops through which plaintiff was put, along with the rest of the record, suggest that the town would be no more interested in a prompt disposiGreenburgh, page 6

Mom-and-pop froyo business expands to Yonkers BY crYstaL KaNG ckang@westfairinc.com

rannie’s Goodie Shop in Yonkers Ridge Hill offers more than a dozen frozen yogurt flavors, three varieties of gelatos, two types of ice cream, smoothies, baked goods, confections and crepes. Customers arm themselves with a cup and decide their own flavor combinations, the amount of frozen yogurt, the toppings and fruits to mix in, then pay based on the weight of their concoctions. Business owners Frannie and Isi Albanese said the process excites the adults as much as it does the children who visit the store. “It becomes a family activity, and we believe this is the Disney World of desserts,” Frannie Albanese said. “The most common reaction we get from customers is, ‘I feel like a kid in a candy store.’ And that’s what we want. They come in here with childlike wonderment.” Isi Albanese, who emigrated from Italy, said a mall-like location such as Ridge Hill is attractive for businesses, especially because it serves as a central meeting spot for people. The shop will be essential to bringing family and friends together, he said. Frannie agreed and calls the new location a “win-win situation” with the shopping options and movie theater. “The store is set up to get high traffic,” Frannie said. “We’re ready, and we want to cater to the visitors of Yonkers.” Shelley Valiante drove from Trumbull, Conn., on a recent Thursday to shop spend the day with her friend Kim Diamond and their children. Frannie’s was their last stop. “We all piled into our Toyota Sequoia, which is the only car we had that would fit six kids,” Valiante said. “Now the kids are getting a sweet treat for the ride home.” Frannie’s first two stores, in Mount Kisco and Manhattan, have unique approaches and personal touches. The Mount Kisco shop, which opened April 2011, creates a small-town community feel and provides a variety of dessert options. The Manhattan boutique shop, which opened last May, solely serves frozen yogurt in an upscale European hotel concourse and attracts out-of-towners.

“We’re giving back to the Ridge Hill Academy, which has a program that brings kids to businesses like ours, so they can see firsthand what it means to be entrepreneurs,” —Frannie Albanese

Bringing people together through food has always been Frannie’s dream. As a child, Frannie Albanese enjoyed ordering burgers, fries and ice cream floats at the local Goodie Shop in Mount Kisco, which closed in the 1970s. She decided to revive that community spirit by starting her own food business. “I wanted to take the spirit of the Goodie Shop with me,” Frannie said. “Even though we don’t sell burgers, fries and ice cream floats like the Goodie Shop, we wanted it to be a place where people can create memories for a lifetime.” Isi Albanese laid out the blueprints for the original location and sent it to a local architect Golden Group Connect. Isi Albanese also has an upscale pizza restaurant, Bellizzi, down the street from Frannie’s Mount Kisco location. In its first year of business, Frannie’s in Mount Kisco took off. Kids would congregate outside the store on benches eating ice cream and frozen yogurt before summer camp began, and the elderly would come into the store on dates and try out the newest gelato flavors. “The first year was incredible,” Isi Albanese said. “We were the first to open a major frozen yogurt shop in the Westchester area. Since then, within a five- to six-mile radius, there have been nine frozen yogurt

places including ones in Yorktown, Scarsdale and Brewster.” Isi said that business at the Mount Kisco location has dropped 20 percent from two years ago due to the increased competition in the “froyo” market. The couple’s trademarked frozen yogurt product YoArt, based in Oregon, is unique. The frozen yogurt, which contains calcium and probiotics, is a healthier choice than most other frozen desserts and much lighter than the yogurt served at other places, Isi Albanese said. “I did some research and made the company calibrate the machine to put in more air,” he said. “Some places add more ice to make the frozen yogurt heavier. But we’d rather have them love the product than make a little more money.” The Albaneses have plans to expand their business even further, but they want to make sure they adequately train their employees in the

newest store location. “We have 30 people employed in this location including Frannie and me,” Isi Albanese said. “The biggest thing is teaching the managers and employees how to do different tasks like customer service and cleaning. Every person gets greeted with a smile, and we stress keeping the place immaculate. We even have one person whose only job is to sweep and mop when the store gets busy.” Twice a year, Frannie’s gives 1percent of its sales to local charities over a six-month period. This year, the owners will give a portion of their profits made in the Ridge Hill location to Yonkers Partners in Education, a nonprofit that bridges corporations with students and help them set goals for their education and careers. “We’re giving back to the Ridge Hill Academy, which has a program that brings kids to businesses like ours, so they can see firsthand what it means to be entrepreneurs,” Frannie Albanese said.

Long Island firm buys empty Ridge Hill condos BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

Long Island property management company closed this month on its $26.5 million purchase of 90 unsold condominium units now marketed as rental apartments at The Monarch at Ridge Hill in Yonkers. 1 Ridge Hill L.L.C., an affiliate of Eagle Rock Management L.L.C. in Plainview, bought the residences and 26 storage units in the 162-unit Monarch from its financially struggling developer, Horizon at Ridge Hill L.L.C.

The 13-story building opened in early 2012 as the first of four luxury residences planned in a 500unit development approved by Yonkers city officials. But only about one-third of the luxury condos reportedly were sold by last February. Monarch residents reportedly were notified in a letter of the sale by the new owners. The letter followed a recent notice to condo owners from Consolidated Edison Inc. that electricity to common areas of the glass-sheathed tower at the western edge of Westchester’s Ridge Hill shopping center could be shut off if Horizon does not pay an overdue bill of about $39,400. Eagle Rock Management on its website lists one-bedroom apartments at the Monarch renting at $2,000 to $2,600 per month and two-bedroom units renting at $2,500 to $4,200 monthly. Principals at Eagle Rock did not respond to a request for comment. The 13-story building opened in early 2012 as the first of four luxury residences planned in a 500-unit development approved by Yonkers city officials. But only about one-third of the luxury condos reportedly were sold by last February. The developer of Ridge Hill, Brooklyn-based Forest City Ratner Cos., last year sued Horizon at Ridge Hill in state Supreme Court, claiming the condo developer owed more than $1.6 million on its land purchase agreement and site development and electricity payments. A

state judge in June ordered Horizon to pay $649,250 to Forest City and evicted the Monarch sales office from contested Ridge Hill office space owned by Forest City Ratner. Horizon at Ridge Hill is led by David Marom, an Israeli and Long Island resident who in the 1980s founded the Horizon Group, a real estate development and investment company. Marom TWB partnered at Ridge Hill and on other Greyston residential and commercial projects in the WCBJ metropolitan area with 7.375” w x 7.125” h two Israeli companies, Izaki Group Investment and Azorim 7/17/13 Investment Development & Construction Ltd. A publicly traded company, Azorim reportedly sustained heavy financial losses in 2009 and 2010.

Region’s job market holds steady in July BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

he private sector lost 1,000 jobs in July in the seven-county Hudson Valley region, a slight decrease of 0.1 percent from the region’s June employment level, according to the state Department of Labor. Westchester County’s monthly unemployment rate was unchanged in July at 6.2 percent. The county’s jobless rate last month improved by 1.5 percent from July 2012. Putnam County had the lowest July unemployment rate in the region and the fifth lowest among New York counties at 5.7 percent, followed by Rockland County at 6 percent. Unemployment in Dutchess County dipped slightly in July to 6.7 percent. The region’s more rural counties continued to have the highest jobless rates. Unemployment in Orange County was at 7.4 percent in July, followed by Ulster County at 7.7 percent and Sullivan County at 7.8 percent. The statewide unemployment rate showed no change from June, holding at 7.6 percent. That was a 1.3 percent decrease

from the state jobless rate in July 2012. Overall, the state’s private sector lost 18,500 jobs from June to July, a 0.2 percent decrease. Since July 2012, though, private employers in the state have added 129,300 jobs, a 1.8 percent gain. New York is one of only nine states in the nation to have fully recovered all of the private-sector jobs lost in the economic downturn, according to Labor Department researchers. In this region, the Putnam-WestchesterRockland labor market gained 200 jobs from June to July. Over a one-year period, the tricounty area led the region’s private-sector job growth, with 8,700 added jobs that amounted to a 1.8 percent increase from July 2012. The seven-county Hudson Valley labor market through July netted 10,600 additional jobs over 12 months, a 1.4 percent increase. Johny Nelson, regional labor market analyst at the state Labor Department in White Plains, said private-sector job growth for the one-year period was spread throughout most industries, with an approximately 6-to1 ratio of job gains to losses. The leisure and hospitality industry posted the largest month-to-month gain, adding 3,100 jobs in July, a 3.4 percent increase

from June. In the last 12 months, that service industry added 3,300 jobs in the region, a 3.7 percent increase. Trade, transportation and utilities lost 4,300 jobs in the region from June to July, a 2.3 percent decrease. Over the last year, though, that employment sector added 3,900 jobs, a 2.2 percent increase. Nelson said employment is “robust” in retail trade and transportation and warehousing. The region’s manufacturers shed 400 jobs from June to July. Over a one-year period, manufacturing through July lost 1,000 jobs in the region, a 2.1 percent decrease. Since July 2012, the region’s information services sector has been hardest hit by employment swings, losing 1,100 jobs, a 5.9 percent decrease. The industry lost 100 jobs in the region from June to July. Government employment in the Hudson Valley was down 2,700 jobs for the one-year period through July, a 1.7 percent decrease. Government entities in all cut 5,000 jobs in the region from June to July, a 3.1 percent decrease. The state’s private-sector job count is based on a payroll survey of 18,000 New York employers conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor.

WCC rehabs sports ﬁelds Construction has started on a $2.5 million project at Westchester Community College that focuses on rebuilding and expanding the SUNY school’s athletic fields and surrounding areas. Long Island-based BBS Architects, Landscape Architects and Engineers is handling the design and construction, to be done at the West Fields, Barrett Field and other buildings and surrounding roadways. Robert Cirillo, the college’s superintendent of physical plant, said the new fields would improve WCC’s athletic program, which includes the Region XV’s Division I men’s basketball team. “The upgraded facilities will also benefit Westchester County’s public school students and the entire local community by providing access to high quality recreational and sports facilities,” Cirillo said. The West Fields include a 3.7-acre baseball field and 3-acre softball and soccer field. – Mark Lungariello

Mall tenants sign on for fall opening BY MarY sHustacK mshustack@westfairinc.com

ith less than two months before its opening, The Shops at Nanuet project is right on schedule, according to the general manager of the Rockland County shopping center owned and managed by Simon Property Group. “Everything has been moving very smoothly,” Ryan Hidalgo said. “We continue to make progress toward our opening in October. No hiccups.” On a recent morning, countless construction workers could be seen completing tasks throughout the 750,000-square-foot development off Route 59 in Nanuet, a hamlet in the town of Clarkstown. “Right now, basically every piece of the property is being touched,” Hidalgo said, with work that ranges from planting trees and restriping ring roads to ongoing façade work. The project to revamp the former Nanuet Mall, a regional shopping destination that opened in the late 1960s, is set to be unveiled to the public Oct. 10. Shoppers will still find long-time Nanuet mall anchors Macy’s and Sears, which have remained open during the year-plus construction, but similarities will end there.

Construction continues at The Shops at Nanuet in preparation for an October opeinng.

With an open-air concept, the center will feature shops concentrated on a pedestrianfriendly boulevard called Fashion Drive. “We’re working on the entrances from Macy’s and Sears onto Fashion Drive,” Hidalgo said. All work, though, will leave behind memories of the former indoor mall there, most of which closed in 2012 after struggling to compete with Palisades Center since the mega-mall opened in West Nyack in the late ’90s. But Hidalgo added that Simon Property Group, with other local properties including Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights, The Galleria at White Plains and The Westchester in White Plains, is not pitching itself as a competitor to the

IntroducIng the brIstal

Palisades, a Pyramid Management Group property some four miles away. “We don’t focus really on the competition,” he said. “The way we view things – in this day and age, our competition is everything. We’re competing for people’s leisure time.” At The Shops at Nanuet, the largest tenants, in addition to Macy’s and Sears, will be Fairway Market, a 24 Hour Fitness center and a 12-screen Regal Cinemas complex. There will be some 50 tenants in all. About 30 – from Coach to Vera Bradley to Michael Kors and restaurants, including Bonefish Grill and P.F. Chang’s China Bistro – were announced in May. Earlier this month, 11 more tenants were announced. “We really focused on trying to bring stores to the area that are new to market,” Hidalgo said.

The Shops at Nanuet will include such new Rockland shopping opportunities as J. Crew, J. Jill, Sur La Table, Corner Bakery Café, Paper Source and Big Dog Sportswear. Other retailers new to Nanuet include Ann Taylor, LOFT, Tiara Jewelers, European Wax Center and Sleep Number by Select Comfort. Most retailers are expected to open in October with the remainder joining the mix in 2014. Hidalgo said more tenants will be announced closer to the fall opening. The center is projected to bring hundreds of jobs to the area. Simon Property Group, headquartered in Indianapolis, Ind., coordinated an Aug. 23 job fair at which some 25 retailers were accepting applications for positions ranging from entry-level retail and sales to management. “It kind of came to us as a natural fit,” Hidalgo said of the job fair, noting Simon Property Group works for its tenants. “One of our main responsibilities is to drive their business.” And, he added, it is simply a reflection of what the old Nanuet Mall was all about.“The Nanuet Mall was always the community’s mall.” For Hidalgo, it will be a chance to return to his business roots. The manager of the former Nanuet Mall from early 2007 until it closed, he also found his first retail job at the mall, working at the Disney Store.

partner Black Rock Inc. paid $27.3 million three years earlier. White Plains city officials in 2008 approved site plans for The Venue on Bloomingdale Road, a $25 million retail project to be built on the parking lot of the fourstory, 145,000-square-foot office building at 120 Bloomingdale Road whose anchor tenant is the state Department of Labor. But the Core Plus development was delayed that fall by a quick-frozen credit market for developers and lack of demand from prospective tenants. By 2010, a special servicer of commercial mortgage-backed security loans in Dallas had taken over the White Plains property on which Core Plus owed about $20.4 million, according to county records. City officials in White Plains were left wondering what had become of the Stamford developer and the once-promising Venue project. (Another special servicer of commercial mortgages in July took title to another Core Plus property, Briarcliff Corporate Campus in Briarcliff Manor. Core Plus Properties paid $20.6 million for the 15-acre, approximately 111,000-square-foot office park in 2005, the same year as its White Plains purchase.) Four years after the Venue’s planned groundbreaking, real estate investment partners in 2012 snapped up 120 Bloomingdale Road from the special servicer, J.E. Robert Co. Inc, for $10.5 million. Its short-term owner had allowed the city’s approval for the retail project to expire.

tion now that it was beginning in 2009.” There were 252 days from the start of the process to the formal rejection, well beyond what is presumed “reasonable” under federal “shot clock” statutes, the ruling stated. NextG’s lawsuit outlined a process in which town agencies and officials weren’t responsive to the telecommunications company’s requests for documents or guidance. When NextG first approached the town, 50 cellular antennas had already been installed in neighborhoods throughout the unincorporated town of Greenburgh. With the wireless boom, the federal government had approved packages of legislation that made installing antennas easier for companies. One piece of that legislation essentially said that communities could not dismiss applications based on the perceived, yet scientifically inconclusive impact of the antennas on public health. Greenburgh approved its own antenna law several years ago, giving preference to installations in nonresidential areas. The law

An architect’s rendering of the planned Heritage White Plains shopping center.

But the new owners, a partnership of Caspi Development Co. in Purchase and Faros Properties in Manhattan, this year dusted off those abandoned plans. City officials this summer approved site plans for Heritage White Plains, which will include 42,000 square feet of retail space and 6,000 square feet of restaurant space, in addition to the two-level, approximately 500-space parking garage that was part of The Venue planning five years ago. “It’s a revival of what they (Core Plus Properties) proposed,” said Joshua Caspi, principal of Caspi Development. A luxury open-air center, Heritage White Plains will include from 12 to 18 boutique retailers, specialty shops and restaurants.

Caspi said the partners have selected Cushman & Wakefield Inc. as leasing agent for the project. “We’re about to produce a really incredible marketing book,” he said. “We have a very specific list of people that we’re going to take it to.” “The campaign will be geared toward high-end boutique retailers that you’d find along Greenwich Avenue or something like you have in the Americana in Manhasset,” a luxury shopping center on Long Island’s North Shore. “It will be like a lifestyle center for people to come to on a weekly basis” while shopping in a business area that includes The Westchester, The Source at White Plains and

Bloomingdale’s, Caspi said. The developer has retained The Venue’s designer, Arrowstreet Inc., as project architect. Based in Somerville, Mass., Arrowstreet has previously worked in the Boston area with Caspi’s partners at Faros Properties. Caspi estimated development costs at $25 million to $35 million, depending on the level of buildout done for tenants during construction. The partners want to break ground in the first quarter of 2015 on a project expected to be completed in 18 months. “We’re excited to see this come to life at this point,” Caspi said. “It’s been a long time coming.”

requires that a company prove installation will improve service for an area of the town that doesn’t have any and the company must also show that the service can’t be achieved by placing the antennas in nonresidential areas. The structures must also meet height and sizing requirements as set forth in the town code. In the NextG case, Greenburgh contended that the system’s control boxes would be too large, but the judge cited the town’s own engineering report, which stated the boxes were no more intrusive than the already existing hardware of telephone, cable and other utility companies. Timothy Lewis, Greenburgh’s town attorney, said that the size of the control boxes would be part of the appeal. “The box that Crown is suggesting is bigger than we would like it to be,” Lewis said. “The issue would be does the federal law supersede the town’s local law?” Lewis said the town was not satisfied that a coverage gap existed for MetroPCS, the mobile phone network said to be NextG’s client and the beneficiary of the increased reception in the area. NextG said its client list was irrelevant and its installations could be modified in the future to include other cell service providers.

Alternative locations had been discussed and pushed by members of the public during public hearings, but those were not a focus of the court ruling. Rather, the judge’s ruling addressed the red tape that the applicant was made to cut through. NextG’s applications were called deficient after the company met several times with town officials and addressed Greenburgh’s Antenna Review Board. The town’s Conservation Advisory Council also took up the issue and advised elected officials on the applications. The Town Board hired a special counsel for the case after the process grew lengthier and litigation became increasingly inevitable. Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, a Democrat, said after the town board’s unanimous rejection of the antennas last year that he would welcome a resubmitted application so long as it proved that other, nonresidential locations wouldn’t be better suited for the antennas. “Our goal: to preserve the suburban character, aesthetics and property values,” he said. “We have tried to place antennas in nonresidential areas, if at all possible.” Last week, Greenburgh officials approved paying as much as $50,000 to its outside legal

counsel in the appeal, Pennsylvania-based Unruh Turner Burke & Frees. The firm, which already was paid $205,000 prior to the appeal, knocked down its regular hourly rate from $350 to $225 for any work after July, according to town documents. Feiner had reached out to several groups, including the Association of Towns of the State of New York, seeking to team up with other municipalities or groups that might have similar litigation with telecommunications companies. Feiner hoped to accumulate strength in numbers and perhaps defray some of the cost of the appeal, but there were no takers. Lewis, the town attorney, said the town would have had to wait until November for the association to determine whether or not to get involved with the appeal. Due to an urgency in filing the appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals Second Circuit, the town decided to go at it alone, Lewis said. While the appeal proceeds, the town also is seeking a stay of the federal judge’s order to issue the antenna permits. If Seibel rejects the town’s’ request, Greenburgh could appeal for a stay from the federal Court of Appeals. NextG’s parent company, Crown Castle, did not respond to requests for comment.

Running a business is stressful, we’ve hit the ceiling My company keeps bumping into a ceiling and we’re struck. We’ve been at the same size for a few years. I’ve cut just about every expense I can and profits still drop a little each year. How do I get things in gear before they get worse?

Thoughts of the Day: It’s all about protecting that valuable asset that provides for every business owner’s lifestyle. For most business owners, the business takes top priority, after their families. All businesses go through stalls and the challenges of what to do next seem insurmountable as the owner runs out things to try next. Business owners’ egos and assets tend to be very directly tied to the future health of the business. When a business heads into troubled waters, the owner isn’t just dealing with a set of business problems and the price of failure can be devastating: Loss of retirement, debts that have to be repaid, lack of steady income, a sense of failure, concerns

about letting employees down, disappointing the people who have helped the business going, loss of standing in the business community and a personal sense of failure. Owners work hard to get their businesses off the ground, facing big risks and the odds of failure are incredible odds of failure. If they survive the early stages, the challenges of what to do next may seem overwhelming. But, the truth is that only 20 percent of businesses survive after the first five years as owners overcome significant obstacles to get the business off the ground. Oddly, each 10-year cycle that the business enters, only one-third survive, which means that the odds of success don’t change. There is no significant advantage derived from longevity. But at some point the owner maxes out what they know how to do, how to help the business push forward. That’s when things get can get really dicey. Building a long-haul business that can provide for everyone as the economy and world march forward is essential to the company’s long-term future. At a stall point, it’s important to look outside the company for solutions. Adding new ideas and new practices in areas, including sales, marketing and

finance can be keys to a bright future. Unfortunately many business owners waste time and resources thinking they should be able to figure things out. They’re self-reliant, “I can do this myself, I should be able to figure this out” attitude got them this far. They don’t understand why that’s not enough going forward. The question is what to try next. It’s about more than just getting the business back in gear. It’s about building a business that can thrive through multiple up and down cycles without depending upon the owner. It’s about more than hiring one key employee who seems to be missing from the team, although that may be a useful step to take. It’s about building a team that can learn, grow and solve problems together. It’s about having a common set of goals, in writing, that everyone agrees to work toward. It’s about meeting regularly to share information, work on issues, debate the best solutions and agree on the next course of action. Something like 90 percent of businesses don’t have a written set of goals that everyone has agreed to work toward. There’s no budget or forecast to guide financial decision making. It’s about building and implementing the

tools of a next stage business, in writing, so that everyone can follow along. That includes a sales plan, a marketing plan, a bank plan, job cross training, job descriptions and a clear organization chart detailing who goes to whom, for what. It’s about measuring and managing progress through written reports that include key measures, profit ratios and critical success factors. It’s about spreading management across a team of competent executives who represent the interests of finance, sales, marketing, operations and human resources. It’s about learning to treat the business as a business, rather than the owner’s personal piggy bank.

Westchester Burger expands to Rockland BY crYstaL KaNG ckang@westfairinc.com

ucked away near the Tappan Zee Bridge in West Nyack, Westchester Burger Co. stops traffic – literally. Cars must slow down significantly in order to pull into the small parking lot in front of the newly built restaurant along Route 303. The site remained an eyesore for many months before a takeover by a West Harrison couple Angelo DiFeo and Michelle Bernal. The lot has seen many businesses come and go over the years including Mexican restaurant Fiesta Sunrise, which was featured on “Kitchen Nightmares,” a reality television show on Fox TV in which Chef Gordon Ramsay and his team help turn around restaurants that hit rock bottom. Although the property at 78 North Route 303 is infamous for frequent turnovers, DiFeo and Bernal took their chances and opened shop last month. “I like to keep my business in a highprofile and high-traffic area,” DiFeo said. “This was the only place I had my mind set on. It took me six months to gut out and rebuild it brick by brick.” DiFeo and Bernal also operate Westchester Burger Co. restaurants in White Plains, Rye Brook and Mount Kisco. It has been a family-owned business since they opened their first one in 2010. Unlike Five Guys or Shake Shack, where customers go up to order their food, Westchester Burger Co. seats their customers and brings out a menu with more than 21 entrees, salads, appetizers, shakes and desserts. The décor, lighting, and booth-style seating arrangements of the restaurant give this burger joint a warm feel, Bernal said. The restaurants have a full bar and vegetarian, gluten-free and kids options to cater to diverse groups including families, senior citizens, students and young professionals. Yet, the couple doesn’t stop at these options. They plan to further expand their menu. “We’re working on bringing healthier sides, gluten free and vegetarian – like a tofu dish, gluten-free and veggie sides for the kids,” Bernal said. DiFeo said each of their restaurants is uniquely decorated and tailored to the

different demographics it serves. No two interior and exterior spaces look alike among the four burger restaurants. “The décor and warmth make this a family-friendly ambience and the service presence makes this a great place. We don’t slap a burger on a plate.” The tradition of operating a restaurant business runs in DiFeo’s blood. His mother first opened the Italian restaurant Graziella’s in 1995. From there, DiFeo learned about restaurant management and expanded his own frontier by opening Blue Bar and Grill in 2006. Since then, DiFeo decided to head in a new direction and closed Blue Bar and Grill in order to start a burger business. Graziella’s moved into the vacant space at Blue Bar and Grill on Church Street in White Plains, and his family continues to operate that business. Meanwhile, he and Bernal are focused on creating gourmet burgers using local products. DiFeo said his corn, tomatoes and lettuce come from the Mount Kisco farm, and he grows basil in his own garden to use as garnish for the signature burgers. The couple brings in local vendors including beers from Yonkers Brewing Co. and Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. DiFeo considers his burger restaurant to be a business that provides all the bells and whistles of customer service and good quality food using the freshest ingredients. “If you had a burger here for $15, it would leave you fuller than having an 8-ounce steak for $25,” DiFeo said. “And you’re going to be more impressed with us. We provide french fries fresh out of the deep fryer and freshly baked brioche buns.” Even though similar burger restaurants surround them with competition from Cheesecake Factory and Yard House in the nearby Palisades Mall, Bernal said the other businesses aren’t a threat to the Westchester Burger Co. “It’s good to have other businesses around us,” Bernal said. “Having other restaurants around brings people together. What sets us apart is that we’re family centric, whereas a mall is corporate. When people come here, they love that it’s a family-run business.” After spending months training his kitchen staff and servers and receiving positive feedback from customers, DiFeo said business is growing steadily. He envisions expanding his restaurant business outside of New York to the tristate area once everything is settled in his newest restaurant.

Old Salem Farm preps for Gold Cup By Georgette Gouveia ggouveia@westfairinc.com

ichael Morrissey, president of Stadium Jumping – which is presenting the American Gold Cup at Old Salem Farm in September – called the event a “win, win, win” situation – for the sport, for the fans and for Westchester County and its environs. Indeed, the county is expected to see the addition of some $6 million to its coffers when the 43rd annual event returns

to the farm, 120 rolling acres in North Salem, Sept. 11-15. “It means a lot to us,” said Alan Bietsch, facility manager at Old Salem Farm, which will be hosting the event for the second time. “It’s one of the oldest jumping shows in the U.S. To have a show of that stature come to our area … it’s a big score for us.” And a win for surrounding businesses such as the Crowne Plaza Danbury, the official hotel of the American Gold Cup, and three major boarding facilities

– Trelawny Farm in Bedford, Double H Farm in Ridgefield and Windsor Show Stables in East Windsor, Conn. “You’re bringing horses from outside Westchester to a premium facility,” Morrissey said. “You’re renting cars and housing, dining and doing activities. People are coming from out of town and bringing new money in – riders, owners, trainers and family.” About 6,000 people are expected to see 450 riders and more than 700 horses compete in an array of jumper classes – ama-

teur and professional; children and adults. New this year, the Zone 2 ASPCA Maclay Regional Championships will take place Sept. 14. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is one of the Gold Cup’s two charity partners, the other being JustWorld International, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children in developing countries. No doubt, though, the highlight of the event will be the $200,000 Grand Prix, which the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) has designated a CSI 4*-W World Cup qualifier, making it key for those hoping to compete in the 2014 World Cup Finals in Lyon, France. The Grand Prix, from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sept. 15, will be presented by Suncast on NBC Sports at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 22. In the past, Morrissey said, the American Gold Cup had struggled financially. “It didn’t get corporate sponsorship. Having it on NBC has helped grow sponsorship.” In addition to Suncast, Gold Cup sponsors include Ariat, Coca-Cola, Hermès, Purina, Roberto Coin jewelry, Taylor Harris Insurance Services and art dealers Mitchell-Innes & Nash and Jeffrey Terreson. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 11-15, with the Zone 2 ASPCA Maclay Regional Championships at 3 p.m. Sept. 14 and the gates opening at 11 a.m. on Sept. 15 for the $200,000 American Gold Cup Grand Prix CSI4*-W. Admission is free Sept. 11-13. On Sept. 14 and 15, admission is $15; $10 for children ages 4 to 12 and senior citizens age 65 and older. Children age 3 and under are admitted free. Old Salem Farm is at 190 June Road in North Salem. For more on the American Gold Cup, visit theamericangoldcup.com, stadiumjumping.com and oldsalemfarm.net.

Career schools operator to pay $10M in settlement

for-profit education company with a health care careers school in White Plains will pay $10.25 million to settle claims it misleadingly inflated its graduates’ job placement rates. New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced the settlement with Career Education Corporation, a company headquartered in suburban Chicago that offers career-oriented training programs on campuses nationwide. Schneiderman said an investigation by his office found CEC “significantly” raised job placement rates in its disclosures to students, accrediting agencies and New York state. CEC will pay $9.25 million in restitution to students and a $1 million penalty. It also agreed to substantially change how the company calculates and verifies placement rates, Schneiderman said. “Students pay thousands of dollars to forprofit colleges because they rightly believe education is the ticket to success in their careers,” the attorney general said in a press release. “That’s why it’s so unfortunate that this company exploited students’ aspirations and published misleading information. Students deserve – and the law requires – accurate data when schools publish it for prospective students.” In White Plains, CEC operates SanfordBrown Institute, a school offering career

programs in the health care industry at 333 Westchester Ave. It operates six other campuses in New York City and on Long Island. CEC also operates several online schools, including American InterContinental University, and currently enrolls 75,000 students worldwide. The attorney general’s investigators found that CEC inflated its job placement rates from at least 2009 through spring 2011 and used the false data to lure prospective students to its schools. For the school years 2008-2009 and 20092010, the company in school catalogs and on its website reported annual placement rates for its New York campuses that ranged from 54.9 to 80.2 percent, when the correct placement rates ranged from 24.1 to 64.1 percent, according to Schneiderman. If the correct data had been used, Schneiderman said the company’s SanfordBrown Institute potentially risked losing its private accreditation for failing to meet minimum placement rate thresholds. The state investigation also found that CEC failed to adequately inform students that certain programs were not accredited and thus not likely to lead to employment and that course credits from certain CEC schools most often cannot be transferred to public or nonprofit private colleges. – John Golden

SPECIAL REPORT insurance

No rush by insurers to state’s employer health plan exchange BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

n employee benefits consultant in White Plains, James P. Schutzer followed closely the recent announcement in Albany regarding the state’s health benefit exchange that will open Jan. 1 to individuals and small business owners. Some of what he heard left him disappointed. With six weeks left before the Oct. 1 opening of enrollment in New York’s health plan marketplace, state Health Department officials unveiled a new brand name and logo for the exchange. It will be called NY State of Health, an ad agency’s echo of “New York State of Mind,” the Billy Joel song that has become a staple of New York City benefit concerts in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Sandy. Donna Frescatore, executive director of NY State of Health, in the announcement said state officials wanted a name that would be “meaningful, memorable and capture the essence of what it is to be a New Yorker – that unique ‘can do’ attitude and state of mind.” She predicted the name and marketing campaign “will inspire New Yorkers who are uninsured or underinsured to explore the options and choose the plan that fits their needs.” Of greater concern to Schutzer and other insurance advisers and brokers, state offi-

cials also announced 15 health plans and 10 dental plans that will be offered on the exchange to individuals and small business owners with 50 or fewer employees. Not all of those plans will be available statewide. In Westchester County, Schutzer noted that only two carriers will offer heath plans to small businesses on the four-tier premium rate system – platinum, gold, silver and bronze – the state has created for its exchange. One carrier, Freelancers Health Service Corp., which does business as Health Republic, will offer its new Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan in the county. A longtime insurer in Westchester, United Healthcare’s Oxford company also has joined the exchange. In Rockland and Putnam counties, business owners shopping at NY State of Health can choose from Freelancers Co-Op, MVP Health Plan and United Healthcare Oxford. In Dutchess County, employers can choose from those three insurers and a fourth plan, Capital District Physicians Health Plan. The Capital District plan also will be offered to Orange County businesses along with

Freelancers Co-op and MVP Health Plan. Schutzer said Freelancers is leasing the health care provider network of MagnaCare for its new business. Insurers that have a share of the group health plan market in Westchester – Aetna Inc., MVP Health Plan and EmblemHealth – have chosen not to participate in the state’s Small Business Health Options Program exchange. “It was a little bit of a letdown, not getting a robust menu of plans inside the SHOP exchange,” said Schutzer, vice president at J.D. Moschitto & Associates Inc. “When you only have two carriers in the exchange, it kind of takes away some of the appealing features of what the SHOP exchange could be.” For individuals shopping for health coverage on the exchange, “There are going to be a lot more options,” Schutzer said. Individuals living in Westchester can choose from seven health insurance carriers on the exchange. They are Affinity Health Plan; Empire BlueCross BlueShield; Fidelis Care; Freelancers Co-op; EmblemHealth’s Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York,

Oscar Insurance and United Healthcare. Individual coverage “is a totally untapped market for the carriers,” Schutzer said. Currently there are only 20,000 to 30,000 direct-pay health care policies throughout New York state, he said. “I think the carriers see that more as an opportunity” than the small business marketplace. Schutzer, though, said he expects more insurers will later choose to participate in the small business exchange. “I think for everybody it’s a wait-and-see approach,” he said. At RPO Group Inc., an employee benefits brokerage and advisory firm in White Plains, President Rory O’Brien said he is advising his business clients to take that approach if possible. He said his advice is “that they wait a year and see how it works … and look at it more closely next year.” “If you can wait, why get involved? It’s got to be a chaotic mess” when the exchange starts up in 2014. O’Brien said the exchange will benefit only a limited population of New Yorkers. “It is a very good thing for people who do have pre-existing (medical) conditions and do have low income,” he said. “For those who do get (income-based) subsidies, it’s a fantastic deal – but at everybody else’s expense.” “Even if it all works, the funding for it just isn’t right,” O’Brien said. “You’re not going to get the young, healthy population.”

New federal website serves as health care resource BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

The federal government recently launched a new website for employers who have questions about new insurance options and health care changes. The website www.business.usa.gov/ healthcare allows business owners and budding entrepreneurs to gain access to resources that steer them in the direction of what health care program best fits their needs and what health care coverage is affordable for their companies. The website allows employers to input data

about the location of their work headquarters, the number of full-time employees in the company and whether the employer already offers the employees insurance. From there, the survey generates responses to frequently asked questions and provides resources that help each employer decide what plan would work best with his or her company. Employers can also take surveys that help them start a business, grow their exiting business, access financing, hire employees, begin or expand exporting, seek disaster assistance, learn about taxes and credits, learn about new health care changes, find resources for veterans, and invest in the U.S.

for foreign entrepreneurs. The survey results will populate a number of resources including a link to the health care reform timeline on the Department of Health and Human Services’ website and a slide deck provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which gives more details about the employer shared responsibility provisions under the shared responsibility for employers regarding health care. The website is linked to the U.S. Small Business Administration page for employers with 50 or more employees. Any employer can use the website to find links to the Department of Labor model notices for

coverage options, proposed regulations of employer shared responsibility, small business administration requirements and other reporting obligations that business owners should know about. It can also help employers analyze how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect them based on their company’s size, location and employee demographic. Not all the information and resources on the website provide direct answers to tough questions like whether employees who work part-time and during odd hours that overlap with their normal business hours can receive health care benefits.

Workers’ compensation, and its cost, see an increase BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

orkers’ compensation benefits – and its cost to employers – increased in 2011 after a dip during the recession, according to a report from the National Academy of Social Insurance.

The academy’s report, “Workers’ Compensation: Benefits, Coverage and Costs, 2011,” estimated that workers’ compensation cost employers $77.1 billion in 2011, an increase of 7.1 percent over 2010. New York paid $1.28 per $100 of covered payroll in 2011, an increase of more than 10 cents from 2010. The National Academy of Social Insurance

defined costs in the report as the sum of premiums paid in a year plus benefit payments made under deductible provisions. “The increase in workers’ compensation costs and coverage reflects, at least in part, the U.S. economy on its way to recovery with slow but positive employment and wage growth,” the report stated. Coverage and wages increased in all 50

states and the District of Columbia, the report said, and the states, D.C. and the federal government paid a total $60.2 billion in benefits, an increase of 3.5 percent of the benefits paid in 2010. Medical payments to providers increased by 4.5 percent, to $29.9 billion, and cash benefits to injured workers increased 2.6 percent to $30.3 billion. The amount of covered workers rose in 2011 by 1.1 percent, to 125.8 million, and aggregate wages of covered workers increased by 3.9 percent. The share of benefits paid for medical care, as opposed to cash benefits for wage losses, exceeded 50 percent in 33 states. New York bucked that trend, with 35.9 percent Marjorie Baldwin, chair of the academy’s Workers’ Compensation Data Panel, said that when benefits and costs are measured relative to total covered wages, though, then benefits remained unchanged. “Workers’ compensation often grows with the growth in employment and earnings,” Baldwin, who is also a professor of economics at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business, said. Workers collecting the benefits experienced no change relative to $100 of covered wages. Benefits stayed flat at $1 per $100 of covered wages. Medical payments remained unchanged at 49 cents per $100 of covered wages, while cash benefits decreased from 51 cents to 50 cents per $100 of covered wages. The total amount of benefits paid to injured workers increased in 29 jurisdictions, including New York state, which saw an increase of 10.7 percent. Only Virginia and Iowa had the larger percentage increases in paid benefits, with 12.5 percent and 12.2 percent, respectively. Workers’ compensation covered an estimated 125.8 million workers across the country, an increase of 1.1 percent. Aggregate wages of covered workers rose 3.9 percent. The amount of covered workers in New York increased 1.4 percent from 8.19 million in 2010 to 8.30 million in 2011, still lower than 2008’s high-water mark of 8.46 million. Covered wages rose 3.9 percent from 2010-2011, to more than $512 billion. Workers’ compensation, launched in 1911, was the first social insurance program in the U.S.

Health care penalties delayed but on the way By NORMAN G. GRILL Jr., CPA

he “play or pay” provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act could levy substantial financial penalties on affected companies that don’t offer full-time employees affordable coverage of at least minimum value. This provision was initially scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 2014. But the IRS delayed the provision’s effective date until Jan. 1, 2015. (Employers may voluntarily comply with the original deadline.) This “transition relief ” doesn’t change any other aspect of the health care act, though more IRS guidance is expected.

Loaded terms The health care act’s play-or-pay penalties are predicated on several terms. An “affected companies” is: One that, in the preceding calendar year, employed 50 or more full-time employees or a combination of full- and part-time employees that’s equivalent to at least 50 full-timers. Standard full-time employees are those who worked 30 or more hours a week. To determine your total number of full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), you’ll need to add up your part-timers’ hours of service for a given calendar month, divide the result by 120 and add that number to your full-time employee count. “Affordable coverage” is: An insurance plan that includes a premium not exceeding 9.5 percent of a participant’s annual house-

hold income. The “affordability test” applies to the least expensive coverage option available to employees that provides “minimum value.” (Some employers may meet the test under one of three safe harbors; ask your financial or benefits advisor for details.) A plan of “minimum value” is: One that covers at least 60 percentof the total allowed costs of benefits provided. More specifically, the minimum value percentage is the ratio of the share of total costs paid by the plan to the total costs of covered services.

Additional FTE points Because the “large employer” distinction is the gateway to whether your business may incur penalties, let’s look at a few more points regarding the FTE calculation. Do you employ hourly part-time staff members? If so, you’ll have to factor them into your calculation based on hours worked and hours compensated (or due to be compensated) for time off attributable to vacation and sick time, disability leaves and other applicable circumstances. For salaried part-time employees, you have three ways to ascertain their hours for FTE purposes: • Use the hourly staff method described above. • Apply a days-worked equivalency method by which you credit each employee with an eight-hour workday, or • Take a weeks-worked equivalency approach by which you credit employees with 40-hour workweeks.

XF FYJTU UP NBLF TVSF JU EPFTOÖU

The right choice may depend on which method provides the most efficient means to calculate and document your FTEs. Another tricky issue that some businesses have to contend with is how to determine their FTEs when they share a common owner with or are otherwise related to other companies. Generally, in these cases, if the combined total of all of the businesses meets the 50 FTE threshold, each separate entity will be subject to the large-employer requirements—even those that don’t individually employ 50 or more FTEs. On the bright side, if your business is defined as a large employer under these circumstances, it won’t be penalized because another employer in the group doesn’t offer affordable coverage of at least minimum value.

Costly consequences Speaking of penalties, whether you’ll incur one first depends on if you: 1) don’t provide health insurance or 2) provide coverage that isn’t affordable or of at least minimum value. In either circumstance, you’ll suffer a penalty if just one of your full-time

employees receives a premium tax credit when buying insurance from the newly established, government-run Health Insurance Marketplace. The health care act mandated the creation of the Marketplace so that individuals who aren’t covered by an employer’s health care plan – or are covered by one that doesn’t meet the affordability or minimum value standards – can buy insurance. Small businesses can also use the Marketplace to buy a health care plan if they can’t afford to do so on the private market.

NEXT LUNCH & LEARN:

WHAT THEY AREN’T TELLING YOU ABOUT THE HEALTH BENEFITS EXCHANGE…& MORE!

Gov. Cuomo is claiming that insurance products offered through the New York Health Benefits Exchange will be 53% less on average than current individual rates. We wondered how insurance premiums could be cut in half (on average) when medical costs continue to rise. True, the individual mandate enables insurers to trim premiums, because the risk can be spread over more policy holders—including healthy individuals, who typically didn’t buy insurance before. But there has to be more to the story. There is. And you’ll get the inside scoop at our next Lunch & Learn, “What You Don't Know About Healthcare Reform Might Make You Sick!” on Thursday, September 19 at Tappan Hill. Meanwhile,

here’s what two of the Lunch & Learn speakers— Chris Jardin, president and director of marketing for Small Group Market at Maxon Administrators and James Schutzer, vice president of J.D. Moschitto & Associates—had to say about what the state and the media are not telling you: • Insurers are able to cut premiums on plans sold through the exchange by sharply reducing payments to providers. Naturally, not all providers are willing to cut their fees and they won’t be included in the network. So exchange plans will have “skinny networks” with fewer providers. “The state is saying the plans will have ‘robust’ provider networks, but that just means there are an adequate number of providers to serve each zip code,” Schutzer explains. “You may learn that your doctors aren’t covered.”

TOUCHDOWN!!! WCA FALL LEADERSHIP DINNER SPEAKER: ALFRED F. KELLY, JR. PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE 2014 NY/NJ SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE

New Yorkers may be in a Super Bowl frenzy, but Westchester’s just over the moon that Al Kelly, President & CEO of the 2014 Super Bowl’s Host Committee and a Westchester resident, has accepted the WCA’s invitation to speak at the Annual Fall Leadership Dinner on Thursday, November 14. “Having Al as our featured speaker is a great lead up to the biggest event in metro New York in 2014,” said Bill Mooney, president of the Westchester County Association. “Besides the excitement, the Super Bowl will have a tremendous economic impact on the entire region’s hospitality, transportation, marketing, and tourism sectors.” As President and CEO of the 2014 NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Company, Kelly oversees the entity that was created by the owners of the New York Jets and the New York Giants to raise the necessary funds and partner with the NFL to plan and stage the game and events associated with it, and to work with business leaders and public officials to maximize its positive economic impact. He was appointed in April 2011 after a distinguished business career, the last 23 years of which were spent at American Express Company. Register at westchester.org

• In Westchester, an individual purchasing insurance today can expect to pay at least $1,400 a month for HMO coverage, or $2,200 for POS coverage. Exchange rates for the highest tier of coverage— platinum—will cost about $710 in the mid-Hudson region. “There’s such a rate discrepancy that they must be giving up benefits,” says Jardin. In the press release announcing the 2014 New York health insurance rates, Benjamin M. Lawsky, Superintendent of Financial Services, is quoted as saying: “…Where New York previously had a dizzying array of thousands upon thousands of plans, small businesses will now be able to truly comparison shop for the best prices.” Unfortunately, we’re still feeling a sense of vertigo.

QUALITY AWARD WINNERS

Cow painting by E. Morisot, acrylic on canvas, 48” x 60,” 2012.

UDDER DELIGHT

“LE DEJEUNER SUR L’HERBE” paintings by E. MORISOT are on exhibit in the Loft Gallery at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St. in Narrowsburg through Aug. 31. Viewing hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “I have been painting cows for a long time,” Morisot says. “Cows are a symbol of positive earth. When you see cows on the green it’s like a magical consciousness of what earth is.” For this show, she created her own interpretation of the famous 1863 painting “Le dejeuner sur l’herbe” (“The

Luncheon on the Grass”) by Edouard Manet, which features fully dressed men having a picnic with nude women. “My cows are bold and playful, with a dynamic lightness in a more abstract way. Of course in my cow series appears the bull. Everything has a match: the sun and the moon, the mamelle and the couilles,” she says. Originally from Paris, Morisot moved to New York and now lives in North Branch, with a view of cows. For more information, call (845) 252-7576 or visit ArtsAllianceSite.org.

GROUP SHOW AT ART GALLERY

NEW WINDSOR ART GALLERY, Route 32 in New Windsor, is exhibiting works by four local artists through the month of August – William Noonan, Elizabeth Ocksay, Brenda ScottHarbarger and Linda Yater. Noonan, whose Hudson Valley and Italian landscapes in oil are featured in many collections, also creates portraits of people as well as their pets. Noonan teaches at the Wallkill River School, Mill Street Loft and Barrett Art Center, and at his own studio in Newburgh’s historic district. After obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from SUNY Purchase,

Noonan had a career in graphics and publishing at the Village Voice. He has also studied at the New York Academy of Art, the Woodstock School of Art, the International School of Art in Umbria, Italy and the Art Students League of New York. Originally from the West Coast, Scott-Harburger sidelined her passion for painting and sculpture to pursue a 40-year career in marketing and advertising. In 2012, she picked up her brush and sculpting tools again and began working at plein air and studio painting, creating sculpture in clay and bronze. Two of her pieces are on exhibit at the August SUNY Orange Sculpture Show. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Ocksay spent her childhood on a farm in Europe where she began drawing horses at an early age. After a business career, she studied at the Wallkill River School and the Woodstock School and has recently been working in oil and pastels. Pen and ink, graphite, watercolor and mixed media are also favorites of hers. Ocksay has been commissioned for portraits, cartoons and pet portraits; she’s still painting horses. A career as a piano teacher with an interest in art and a passion for gardening, Yater recently began studying at the Wallkill River School, primarily with William Noonan, where she has managed to combine her two loves with botanical, still-life and landscape works in oil, watercolor and graphite. For more information, call John Yoo at (845) 534-3349.

SNAKES AND DIFFERENT TAKES

LORRIE FREDETTE’S installation “Implementation of Adaptation” and KEVIN KLEIN’S “Snake Paintings” provide an experiential treat for viewers through Sept. 8, at Riverside Galleries in Garrison. Visiting hours are Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fredette’s site-specific installation of mixed media sculp-

tural elements hovers 40 inches from the gallery floor. It can be viewed from 360 lateral degrees and also from a supine position underneath the piece itself via a dolly, creating essentially a second installation for those who wish to lie. Klein’s paintings in the adjacent gallery are realistic renders of cast-off snakeskins containing a meticulously detailed record of the body it once protected. The skin is a ghostly partial history of a particular body. In these works, that body’s presence is almost re-created even in the absence of the skin’s former occupant. For more information, call (845) 424-3960 or visit garrisonartcenter.org.

WONDERFUL WATERCOLORS

RiverWinds Gallery in Beacon celebrated its 10th anniversary of showcasing and supporting Hudson Valley Artists and now its first 11th-year show is titled “Wonder” – watercolors by Ellen Hopkins Fountain. The exhibit runs through Sept. 8. Visiting hours are Wednesdays to Mondays noon to 6 p.m. “My adventure with painting began when I was a child,” Hopkins Fountain said. “I was standing in a field in late September when I first noticed how the sunlight raked across the hay and how the trees seem tricked out in red and orange and gold. I was dazzled. I thought, someday, I’m going to paint all this.” To this day, she says she gets that same thrill from color and light and the beauty of the landscape and captures them in her paintings. Hopkins Fountain, an Ardsley resident, has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Carnegie-Mellon University. She has had solo exhibits in New York state, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and has been in selected juried exhibitions up and down the East Coast.

Lure maker wants a bite of big-box retail BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

eff Mancini and Dan Sladkus have an outdoors product they know will sell. Their 6-year-old Westchester company, Future of Fishing Inc., has reeled in “millions of dollars,” at $19.95 per kit, with the numberone-selling fishing lure on direct response television, both domestically and internationally, they tell us. Right now they’re on a get-out-the-vote campaign. They want to play in the major leagues of retail. They want to step into the Big Box. They want our votes. “The Eastern European market has been just tremendous to us,” Sladkus says. We’re in a shared conference room in the Spring Street building where he and Mancini and a third business partner, John Briccetti, lease an office in downtown Ossining. Poland is a new DRTV conquest for the partners and their made-for-TV, 100-piece product, Mighty Bite Fishing Lure System. Fishermen, or DRTV-watching people who seasonally buy gifts for fishermen, have caught on to Mighty Bite in Ukraine. And next door in Russia – well, President Vladimir Putin is a fisherman, Sladkus reminds us. Posing for the world last month with a Mother Russia-sized pike he’d allegedly hooked, Putin attracted more lampooning doubters online than lure connoisseurs. “Outdoors and sports are very popular in Russia,” says Sladkus. And some Russians like Putin have discretionary income to spend on fishing, he notes. “We’re very encouraged about Australia,” where Mighty Bite also swims – with adjustable, detachable fins – in DRTV advertising waters. With its predator-luring scent stick that smells like a wounded baitfish, its weighted rattle chamber and wounded-ribs red spot that larger fish want to sink their teeth into, it has reached South Africa and Japan, too. On the conference room television, the partners play some of the 30-minute fishing show, starring Mighty Bite and a cast of fishing experts with predominantly Southern accents; that is their primary advertising vehicle in the U.S. Shot on Lake Mahopac, it’s targeted for a Southern male audience. “Advertising, media costs, is our primary expense,” says Sladkus. It’s “in the seven figures.” At Future of Fishing, Sladkus is the partner who’s not into fishing. But he has made a professional career in video and direct response television production. He is copresident with Briccetti of DEG Productions

PLAYERS

Jeff Mancini displays his company’s Mighty Bite fishing lure kit.

Inc., a producer of educational and corporate videos and DRTV infomercials. “We came to this with an understanding of how TV worked,” he says. “The genesis of this (Mighty Bite product) was, what can we build and how do we adapt it to give it the best chance of selling to a TV audience?” “We’ve grown every year even in a down economy,” says Jeff Mancini, the company’s CEO and majority shareholder. The public face and inventor of Mighty Bite, Mancini is a professional fly fisherman from New Rochelle, where he also runs East Coast Fisherman Productions Inc. Marketing a line of East Coast Fisherman rods and equipment and fishing shirts, Mancini was familiar with the two manufacturers in China that make and package

the Mighty Bite kit. “Our next phase is penetrate into the retail market,” Sladkus says. “But when you go to retailers,” says Mancini, “if you don’t fit into the mold or you’re a company with one product,” it’s difficult to get picked up by a retail distributor and put on the shelves. “Our next level to grow the business is big box and major chains,” says Sladkus, “and that’s a challenge.” Then there’s that old market prejudice Mancini has heard: “‘It’s one of those crappy TV products.’ That’s a hurdle we have to overcome,” he says. Now they’re casting for a spot on WalMart’s online shelves. The merchants of Mighty Bite this month were among 300

contestants chosen from a crowded field of 7,000 applicants to advance to a second round in Wal-Mart’s second annual Get on the Shelf contest. Last year’s contest drew more than 1 million voters. Consumers can go to the contest website at getontheshelf.walmart.com and cast a vote in support of a product. Persons can vote once daily through Sept. 2. Mighty Bite could be among the 20 products chosen as finalists and featured in a WalMart web series this fall. Voters then will select two winners to go on sale on walmart.com. Sladkus says the winners eventually could be given a spot on Walmart Supercenter shelves. That would be a mighty leap up the retail chain for Mighty Bite. HV Biz • WCBJ • August 26, 2013
