OUR NEW TAGLINE — ‘PRINT JOURNALISM: BECAUSE IT STILL MATTERS’ — seems

particularly prescient in light of the recent decision by Verizon to end its arrangement with the Rye Brook-based Regional News Network (RNN) to produce local news channels for Fios cable TV. We see this disturbing development in the context of other challenges to freedom of the press, including increasing financial pressures that have resulted in

newspaper closings, mergers and shrinking newsrooms across the media landscape.

As Richard French III, who oversees the RNN news division, said on his TV program “Richard French Live,” “The change implicates the importance of multiple voices in the world of local news.

Westchester Broadway Theatre eyes the Great White Way

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

I

n the 1940s, when Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland said “let’s put on a show” in a series of made-in-Hollywood MGM musicals, they quickly wound up in a Broadway theater. In 2019, putting on a show in Elmsford, which the producers hope is headed for Broadway, poses real business challenges, not fictional ones like Rooney and Garland faced.

Bob Funking and Bill Stutler, owners of the Westchester Broadway Theatre (WBT) in Elmsford, are presenting the new show “Mambo Italiano,” billed as “the world premiere of the new Broadwaybound musical.”

This is the 212th production for Funking and Stutler. They opened An Evening Dinner Theatre in July 1974 in Elmsford’s Cross Westchester Executive Park. In 1991, they moved into a new custom-built facility, which is far larger and grander than the original and named it the Westchester Broadway Theatre. Since the beginning, they have offered ticket buyers a complete package of dinner, show and free parking.

The run of “Mambo Italiano” began on Aug. 8 and continues through Sept.

29.

“We’ve had a relationship with show director Tom Polum for many years.

He’s done a lot of our shows.

Tom came to us with this project he had written with Jean Cheever,” Stutler told the Business Journal.

Cheever was a producer of the Tony-nominated musical “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and another show, “All Shook Up,” a musical using the songs of Elvis Presley. She is a board member of Broadway Bank, one of the largest independently owned banks in Texas. The new script by Polum and

Cheever is based on the 2003 movie, a comedy-drama, which was directed by Emile Gaudreault with a screenplay written by Gaudreault and Steve Galluccio. Paul Sorvino, Luke Kirby and Ginette Reno were among the cast members.

“They had obtained the rights to the movie, which had been made in Canada and wanted to turn it into a musical. They hired composer James Olmstead who coincidentally conducted the orchestra for ‘On Your Feet’ on Broadway all the way through its run and that’s the show we just did at WBT. Omri Schein wrote the lyrics,” Stutler said.

Funking said it would be unusual if the show goes directly into a Broadway theater after it completes its run at WBT. “After this run it probably needs another run with more revisions to be made somewhere else in another theater,” Funking said.

“Maybe in Pennsylvania.

Maybe in Chicago. They are bringing Broadway pro-

WCBJ

ducers up here to see the show, people who have the wherewithal to get money put together.”

The cost of bringing even a moderately elaborate musical to Broadway has been estimated at $10 million to $20 million and partially depends on how long it takes until it’s ready for opening night. There was no estimate of what a final cost might be for “Mambo Italiano.”

Funking pointed to the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Connecticut, as a venue where Broadwaybound shows have been developed including such well-known hits as “Man of La Mancha,” “Shenandoah” and “Annie.”

“If it goes to Broadway, we’re going to get a percentage. That’s the way it usually works. Goodspeed has done it quite a few times,” Funking said.

Lisa Tiso, who has been with the theater from its early days and began producing shows in 1992, said doing a brand-new show

is quite different from producing Broadway classics such as “West Side Story” or “Carousel.” With a new show, Tiso said, “You’re creating everything. You’re creating the characters. You’re creating the look of the characters. You’re creating the locale.” Tiso said seeing a new show also is a different experience for an audience.

“Nobody knows the songs,” she said. “It’s a lot to take in. Our audience is used to us doing a show they’re familiar with. Whether or not they’ve ever actually seen the show, they’re familiar with the music.”

Stutler said although it’s a new show, the mechanics of bringing it to the stage parallel producing a Broadway classic and it begins with a week of auditions and casting.

“We send out the script and characters to the agents and the director and choreographer and, in this case, the writers and producers and musical director get together and hold auditions,” he said.

WBT has a contract with Actors’ Equity Association, the union representing professional actors. WBT must follow Equity rules during the audition process.

“Whether it’s the type of show that has a lot of dancing or hardly any dancing, you have to do separate auditions for dancers who sing, men and women separately, then you have to do singers who dance, again men and women separately. Many times you get the same people, so we spend a day doing that,” he said.

The Equity contract also allows WBT to use some nonunion performers.

Stutler said part of the process of bringing a new show to the stage involves making changes based on audience reaction. This could involve improving a show’s pacing or changing dialogue and adding laughs.

Six-month $164K New Rochelle shuttle pilot program begins

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

free shuttle service covering routes around New Rochelle’s downtown made its debut on Aug. 22. The fleet consists of three electric vehicles covering high-trafficked areas of the downtown. When pedestrians want to become riders, they can flag down one of the compact minibuses or use a cellphone app to summon one.

The service in New Rochelle is being operated as a six-month pilot program, funded by the city’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA). The IDA has committed $164,000 for a transit contract with the company Circuit, formerly known as The Free Ride. Circuit also funds its services by selling advertising on the outside and inside of the vehicles, but that will not be the case in New Rochelle at least for the time being.

If the service continues beyond the pilot period, the sale of advertising to help defray the costs would be considered, the Business Journal learned. Among the major brands working with Circuit in other communities are JetBlue, CocaCola, CNN, Verizon and Heineken.

“These are great for the business climate because it will make it easier for people to get to and around our downtown,” New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said during a ribbon cutting and inaugural ride event. In addition to benefiting the business climate, Bramson said the shuttle vehicles will be “great for the environment because they are 100% electric and because they reduce our general dependency on driving our own cars and they send a signal about the kind of community we want to be.”

Circuit currently uses 140 vehicles in 20 communities. Major cities served include Boston, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and San Diego.

New Rochelle is the first municipality in Westchester where the service is operating.

Ivar Hayden, who serves on the New Rochelle City Council and is vice chair of the IDA, said, “As an eco-friendly service that serves to reduce traffic congestion, CircuitNR is also a perfect fit for our broader efforts to create a more sustainable New Rochelle.”

“By getting people out of their cars for short trips and connecting with the train station, we can make a real impact on congestion and pollution,” Alexander Esposito, co-founder of Circuit, said. “We’re not only increasing productivity but we’re reducing congestion and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” Esposito and his associate James Mirras first became involved in a “free to the public” advertiser-supported shuttle service in Southampton on Long Island in 2012. They held full-time jobs at the time, eventually developing a business plan and

venturing off on their own. Circuit indicates that so far it has given more than 1,000,000 free rides and saved 200,000 gallons of gas by using electric vehicles.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said that the free shuttles should make it easier for people to spend time and money in New Rochelle. “So many things that are worth experiencing in this community from New Roc City, a movie, to a restaurant that’s a few blocks away from here are now going to be all brought together by this service.”

CircuitNR will operate Mondays through Thursdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.., Fridays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays between noon and 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 7 p.m.

RNN plans growth following end of Verizon Fios1 News

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com “WE ARE FULLY IN THE GROWTH PHASE AND THE DECISION BY VERIZON IN NO WAY CHANGES THAT,” Richard French III, president of news for RNN, told the Business Journal in an Aug. 26 interview. Verizon and RNN were unable to reach an agreement on a renewal of the 10-year contract under which RNN produced 24-hour local news services for Verizon’s Fios TV systems in the lower Hudson Valley, Long Island and New Jersey, plus the Fios1 News presence on social media.

In an Aug. 17 email to employees, French advised that Verizon “has told us that it will not renew its contract with RNN News when our current agreement expires in 90 days.” He said the negotiations had been underway for about a year. RNN filed a notice with the New York state Department of Labor that 145 employees would be facing layoffs effective Nov. 15 due to “expiration of contract.”

A spokesman for Verizon, Tony McNary, sent a statement to the Business

Journal which said, “Later this year, Verizon will no longer be offering Fios1 News. We have partnered with RNN for over 10 years to deliver award-winning hyperlocal news coverage on Fios1. We wish RNN and their employees well during this transition.”

On Aug. 21, 15 members of the New York state Senate wrote to Verizon asking it to reopen contract talks with RNN. In his email to employees, French said, “RNN remains open to discussion with Verizon and will continue to make the case that original local news is critical to the communities we service.”

At first, Verizon took the position that the Fios systems would no longer carry any “hyper-local” news channels and subscribers could get news of their local areas from regular newscasts originated by TV stations in New York City. It subsequently changed its position and said plans for new local news channels on Fios systems would be announced sometime in September, but the channels would not be produced by RNN. When asked for comment, Lisa Anselmo, senior

Richard French, as seen on “Richard French Live” on RNN.

vice president for communications at Altice, which owns the Optimum cable systems and local news service News 12, told the Business Journal, “News 12 thriving under Altice’s leadership and we continue to invest in News 12, positioning the network to be stronger than ever.

News 12 is the most viewed network in Optimum households, is experiencing growth in TV ratings and digital viewership, and was recently named by the independent Pew Research Center as the main source of local news by NYC-area residents.”

As news spread of the impending programming changes, elected officials and others in areas served

by Fios1 News called for increased support for local journalism.

“It’s part of a real, growing concern about diminished voices, whether it be in print or now on the television and broadcast side,” French said. “The concern is that there are fewer opportunities and outlets for local

news coverage and all that brings with it. It speaks to growing and acute concerns that the general public is the loser.”

In addition to producing news feeds for Verizon, RNN feeds programming from its facilities in Rye Brook to the four TV stations it owns.

They are: WRNN-TV, licensed to New Rochelle; WMCNTV, serving Philadelphia; WWDP-TV, which covers Boston; and WMDE-TV, covering Washington, D.C. WRNN-TV had been licensed to Kingston where it originally was known as WZTA. In March 2016, the Federal Communications Commission began a broadcast spectrum incentive auction designed to buy out operators of some television stations in order to resell their airwaves to wireless services such as phone companies. The Kingston station was one of about 175 stations that participated.

Its piece of the spectrum was valued at about $212 million. The station shut down in Kingston and was

licensed to move to New Rochelle where it now operates as channels 25 and 48.

“We are an extremely well-capitalized firm.

We have been in a growth phase every year since we began and to that end we’ve acquired stations in top-10 markets in recent years and we’re planning to be aggressive in the program development field,” French said.

“We are planning to make some announcements after Nov. 15. We’re going to have some additional statements about some programming directions that we are going to be taking for RNN and we’ll make those announcements then.”

French also said that in the future the company may acquire more TV stations and other media companies.

French expressed concern that even some major TV stations in major markets have cut back on their news staffs. “It’s not healthy when you add that to newspapers being shells of what they were,” he said. French noted that without a replace-

ment for Fios1 News, News 12 would be the only hyper-local news service on cable.

“If you look at Westchester, you’re looking at a county of 1 million people, bigger than some states,” he said. “And, to be left with a single local news voice on the broadcast side, someone will have to explain to me how we’re better off with that kind of arrangement. It’s obviously not just Westchester. This is happening all over the country. In some places they don’t have a newspaper anymore.”

He said people who value news and information need to speak out and let their voices be heard. “The more quiet we are then the more we reap what we sow.

There’s this false thread line that somehow following a couple of people on Twitter is the equivalent of where we were a generation ago when people would take pride in reading and having multiple news sources to reach their own conclusions rather than having them fed to them.

Hopefully, there will be a course correction, but right now I’ve taken note how many people across the political spectrum, across every level of government have, unsolicited, reached out to me and to us about the concerns they have.”

When asked for his take on RNN’s future, French said, “Our focus for the next 90 days is going to be primarily on our people and then after that, wherever we go, and hopefully there will be a local news component to it. We are fully in the growth phase and the decision by Verizon in no way changes that.”

Cash on hand is weak Don’t ever seem to have enough cash on hand to get through life’s big and little bumps. Know we need to figure that out better. I don’t want to have to keep putting my personal funds in whenever there’s a cash crunch.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Having enough cash on hand is part of building a successful, stable, productive business.

Make sure there’s enough sales and profits to run the business the way you want.

Make a plan to build up cash on hand every week.

Balance year-end tax planning with keeping cash in the business at year-end. Use a budget and capital planning to spread out big, periodic expenditures.

Managing cash is part of every business owner’s responsibility. Great that you’re asking for suggestions on how best to do that. Let’s get to work.

When cash on hand consistently falls short, there are a few key places to look. First question to ask is: are sales and profits sufficient to provide the net income needed to cover loan payments, pay taxes on profits and put extra cash away.

Some companies will make the mistake of slashing marketing and sales expenditures when cash gets tight. Don’t recommend doing that, since sales and marketing are key to boosting sales and profits, which will produce more excess cash. Instead, suggest looking into how well sales and marketing efforts are producing and switching efforts around until you’re confident you’re getting a good payoff.

To fix things long term, figure out how much cash on hand will keep things safe.

We recommend three to six months of overhead expenses. Decide on an amount to put away in cash reserves each week in order to make steady progress in achieving that goal. Figure that it could take you a year or more to reach your goal. Consider putting your reserve cash into a separate “don’t touch” money market fund, or even in another bank in order to make it harder to access when things get tight financially.

Many times companies have plenty of cash during the year, but use it up at yearend buying things in order to save on taxes. Be careful. For every dollar of tax savings, you have to spend $3 on equipment and services. It is probably better to pay the taxes, and put the remaining $2 into savings.

Plan things out with a budget that takes into account regular monthly expenses and the quarterly, annual and one-time payments you’ll need to make.

Watch out for expenses that only occur periodically. Remember to budget for insurance plans and other programs that require a significant percent up-front before switching over to regular monthly bills.

When building the budget, ask if you’re overspending on overhead expenses.

Take a close look at general expenditures related to office space and infrastructure, overhead payroll for managing functions and

handling support services.

Check if you’re overcommitted on the loans you’re carrying.

Finally, take a look at the amount of money that gets taken out of the business at year-end. Build a plan to pay taxes out of a savings account. Budget the amount of money you want to take out. Once you’ve got that planned out, and only then, start to think about additional expenses you might approve for the coming year.

Most important thing to remember when building a business is that cash on hand is a signal that the company is profitable. And profitable companies get the best return for the owner when it’s time to sell.

Financing Your Business with Start-Up Capital

BY EDWARD H. ROBERTS, CPA You’ve written your business plan and completed your marketing plan. You’ve memorized your elevator pitch and registered your business under the appropriate business structure. Your product or service has been perfected and is ready for the market. Have you forgotten anything?

Oh, that’s right: Money, Moolah, Scratch.

Whatever you call it, your business needs capital!

Financing is one of the most important aspects of your business. The ability to raise adequate capital may determine the fate of your business. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, while poor management is most frequently cited as the reason businesses fail, inadequate financing is a close second. Many times it comes down to cash flow- companies have closed their doors EDWARD H. ROBERTS because they couldn’t continue operations for another few months until the money came in.

Before you start, you must take a careful look at the type and amount of capital you need.

Then, you must decide how you are going to finance the capital needs of the business. Last, but not least, you have to determine a source for the capital at an affordable cost.

THERE ARE FIVE QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH CAPITAL IS NEEDED: • How much do I need to start the business?

• Do I have personal funds/assets to finance the start-up phase?

• Do I have family or friends who are willing to invest in the business?

• Do I have personal credit that will allow me to obtain lines of credit?

• Do I have relationships with any financial institutions?

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CAPITAL: Start-up capital: money needed to initially get the business on its feet — this might include capital for acquiring/leasing real estate equipment or for inventory.

Working capital: money needed for day-to-day operation of your business. How much working capital you need depends on the type of business you have.

THERE ARE ALSO VARIOUS TYPES OF FINANCING, WITH ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES TO ALL: Debt financing — this type of financing is where you borrow the money and agree to pay it back at an agreed-upon interest rate. Many businesses are funded with debt financing. If you pass the requirement of the lender, you may be able to obtain a term loan or line of credit.

“Factoring,” whereby a business sells their accounts receivable to a third party, is another form of debt financing. Factoring is typically the most expensive option but, depending on your situation (new business, seasonal sales), it maybe the best or only choice.

• Advantage- you don’t have to give up ownership and it is available to companies that can’t get equity financing.

• Disadvantage - you must pay interest, and the lender will likely require personal guarantees.

Equity financing — is where you sell partial ownership of your company. While debt financing is most common, there are thousands of companies financed each year by private or “institutional” investors in exchange for an equity ownership stake. They range from “friends and family” to angel investors and venture capitalists.

• Friends and Family - Advantage – convenient, no-nonsense and available quickly - Disadvantage - be ready for an ugly holiday dinner if you lose their money • Angel Investors - Advantage - relatively patient about their investment - Disadvantage - often difficult to find • Venture Capitalist - Advantage - investment smarts and networking in addition to money - Disadvantage - must be a start-up business that is interested in selling within 3-5 years, and must be prepared to share control Whether your business is considering debt or equity financing, it is important to understand the factors that will affect a credit decision. These factors include the experience level of management; collateral; industry; ability to repay; and amount of funds required.

The choice of financing options is one of the most important decisions you will make for your business. Review your options and prepare your business properly so as to afford yourself the best opportunity to succeed.

Dutchess couple owes IRS $1.4M for unpaid income taxes

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

federal judge has issued a $1.4 million judgment against a Dutchess County couple for unpaid income taxes the government has been trying to collect for 11 years.

Michael E. Satz and Marietta M. Staples of Staatsburg had refused to pay their full assessments, according to a lawsuit filed last year by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, despite numerous attempts by the IRS, through correspondence and direct contact, to collect.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel issued an order Aug. 14 consolidating federal tax liens for unpaid income taxes in 2006, 2008 and 2015.

The judgment includes more than $1.2 million in taxes and $165,000 in penal-

ties and interest that continue to accrue.

The couple stipulated to the judgment, according to a settlement document filed by their attorney, Varun Kathait of Melville. But the agreement is silent on when or how they will satisfy the judgment.

Satz, a lawyer, was a founder and CEO of Capital Re Corp. from 1988 to 1998, and CEO of American Capital Access Holdings from 2000 to 2004, according to a LinkedIn profile. More recently, he has been active as a vice chairman of Big League Barbers, a franchisor of sports-themed barber shops, and as chairman of BarterQuest, an online bartering service.

Staples was listed on old federal campaign finance reports as a housewife and a writer.

The government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Casey K. Lee.

demand,” he said.

When pressed as to whether he meant actual physical expansion of the site rather than just building something new within the existing footprint, he confirmed that actual physical expansion of the site is what he meant.

He minimized any negative impacts from Sears closing its three-story store at the shopping center in July as part of the chain’s closing of other stores in moves Sears’ management hoped would stabilize its financial situation.

“We look at the Sears closing as an opportunity,” he said. “Lots of retailers have actually been circling the center, wanting to be here, and we just haven’t had the space for these retailers.”

He said there are “cutting-edge” retailers just waiting to come in to the center.

“The likely scenario is we’d have different retailers in that space,” he said. “It’s three stories so we likely will have a mix of two-story retailers and single-story retailers. I can tell you that we have incredible interest from some of the best retailers out there and we expect to have the space leased in

the very short term.”

On Aug. 12, Marx and Benenson jointly announced that three new retailers will be opening at Cross County and a fourth has just committed to a 10-year lease renewal.

The restaurant Mito Asian Fusion has taken 5,000 square feet and plans to open this winter. This will be its second location, in addition to its original location in Forest Hills. The Invicta Watch Company also plans a winter opening in a 963-square-foot space.

Carvel Ice Cream plans a fall opening for a 375-squarefoot space. The lease renewal is for Bath & Body Works, which has started renovating its 4,100-square-foot location. It will also feature the White Barn Candle Company.

Deitelzweig told the Business Journal that they’ll soon be announcing that a couple of brands primarily known for their internet presence will be opening at the center.

“A lot of these digital brands now want brick and mortar. They want to have an experience with the customers and you can’t have that through the internet,” he said. “Retail is changing in that it’s more experiential, so if you have that experiential offering in the retailer

itself, people will come.”

He also compared the experience of going to the open-air shopping center to going to a town center.

“People want that town center experience you can’t get on the internet,” he said.

The internet wasn’t on any shopper’s radar when developer Sol Atlas opened the Cross County Shopping Center in 1954. The original anchor stores were Gimbels, John Wanamaker and F. W. Woolworth. Today’s shoppers will find Macy’s, Old Navy and about 85 other stores and businesses. The Hyatt Place Hotel opened in April 2015 and features 155 guest rooms, meeting space and an indoor pool in its eight stories. The Hyatt building originally had been a hospital complete with a helipad.

“I think the difference between Cross County and some other shopping centers, especially malls, is that we are open air and people really do just want to spend the day there and walk around,” Deitelzweig said.

Marx does not use traffic counters but, based on shopper and market research, estimates that 11 million people visit the Cross County Shopping Center each year and an estimated 224,000 cars pass by the property daily.

“Cross County is blessed with its location and also blessed by the fact that it’s the nation’s first open-air shopping center,” Deitelzweig said. “We believe we are making it even more vibrant and dynamic.

There’s more entertainment and we added a children’s play area and we do social events. We have a roller rink and a winter ice skating rink as well.”

Deitelzweig expressed the belief that the purchase of the nearby Empire City Casino and Yonkers Raceway by MGM is a plus for the shopping center because it will attract more people to Yonkers.

While the center underwent a $250 million upgrade and modernization about seven years ago, Deitelzweig said they have plans for additional improvements.

“We have been very concerned about being green, so one of the things we are looking at is some sort of solar aspect in the future,” he said. “We’re investigating doing electric charging stations for cars. We’re also looking at what the future is for the automobile and making sure that we are well programmed for when Uber or some function of it is how people get around. Also, public transportation.”

Law to protect domestic violence victims from employment discrimination signed fication from a police department, medical professional, domestic violence prevention advocate or other source that something had happened.

The new law allows employers to be excused from having to provide reasonable accommodation if they can demonstrate that the employee’s absence would be an undue hardship on the business because of its size, the number of employees and

similar factors.

State Sen. Roxanne J. Persaud of Brooklyn, who sponsored the Senate version of the legislation, said, “It’s my hope that nobody will have to use these new measures but that New York continues to lead the nation in supporting victims of domestic violence and their families.”

Assembly Member Helene E. Weinstein, also of Brooklyn, sponsored the bill in the

Assembly. She said, “It can be difficult for victims to obtain and maintain employment due to the stresses of domestic violence, the abuser’s interference with the victim’s ability to perform in the workplace or the need to access services that are necessary for safety. This bill provides important legal protections, which would require employers to provide reasonable accommodations to these victims.”

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo

G

ov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation that changes Section 292 of New York state’s Executive Law to specify that the Human Rights Law protects anyone who is a victim of domestic violence from employment discrimination.

One goal is to help make sure that people who have survived what Cuomo described as “these unthinkable traumas” never have to worry about losing their jobs as they deal with the aftermath of what they’ve experienced.

“Victims of domestic violence are forced to deal with far-reaching, lasting ramifications that can understandably interfere with their work schedules,” Cuomo said Aug. 20 in signing the legislation into law.

The governor’s office said that each year New York law enforcement receives reports of about 400,000 domestic violence incidents.

The new law specifies, in part, “It shall be unlawful discriminatory practice for an employer to refuse to provide a reasonable accommodation to an employee who is known by the employer to be a victim of domestic violence.”

The employer can charge the time off against any paid time off to which the employee may be entitled or, if there is no time available such as paid vacation, to treat the time off as an unpaid absence.

Among the provisions of the new law are specifications that the time off can be used for seeking medical attention for injuries caused by domestic violence for a child who has been victimized, to obtain the services of a domestic violence shelter or other service provider, to obtain psychological counseling, to participate in safety planning, to obtain legal services and to appear in court.

The law calls for employees to give reasonable advance notice of an absence. If they can’t, such as when they’ve just been attacked, they’re allowed to provide certi-

How small businesses are finding talent amid a tight labor market BANK OF AMERICA REPORT: 67% OF BUSINESS OWNERS PLAN TO EXPAND, 27% ARE LOOKING TO HIRE Startups and established small businesses are on the hunt for talent, but faced with one of the tightest labor markets in half a century.

It is unlikely that we will see the market loosen any time soon. Therefore, entrepreneurs must look for ways to stand out from the crowd when competing for talent.

According to the most recent Bank of America Small Business Owner Report, 67% of business owners plan to expand in 2019 and 27% are looking to hire. Also, 58% say it is difficult to find qualified talent with many saying their inability to find new employees is having a direct impact on business growth.

The report found business owners have embraced the following tactics.

SHIFTING TO A MORE FLEXIBLE CULTURE

Small businesses are often heralded for having less bureaucracy and offering more creative freedom versus large corporations.

Business owners should embrace that reputation and can even look to expand further by offering a more flexible workplace culture. This can mean anything from offering the option for employees to work remotely or set their own hours, to switching to casual dress every day rather than just on Fridays and holidays. The study found 57% of entrepreneurs already say they are offering flexible hours to attract talent and 33% are offering flexible work locations.

USING SOCIAL MEDIA MORE ACTIVELY

Posting updates and photos on social channels is also a good way to market yourself, not only to potential customers, but to prospective employees. Through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter, you can share content that highlights your company’s culture and allows prospective employees to get a sense of what working with your company might be like.

Many business owners report they are using social media to reach out to new talent. From various job networking and listing sites like LinkedIn to more generalized social channels like Facebook, social media provides a cost-effective

It is no surprise that 17% of business owners say they are offering higher salaries to attract prospective employees.

When the job market is this tight, businesses need to be able to compete on salary to attract and retain workers.

method for reaching a wide audience of potential new hires. In addition, social media allows for people to easily share your job posting among their own networks.

HIGHER SALARIES

We all know that compensation — be it salary, benefits or a combination of the two — is often the determining factor in choosing a new job. It is no surprise that 17% of business owners say they are offering higher salaries to attract prospective employees. When the job market is this tight, businesses need to be able to compete on salary to attract and retain workers.

Before making an offer to a job candidate, try to get a sense of what your competitors are offering and

make sure that your package is competitive. Job hunters value company culture and workplace environment, but if you aren’t offering at least comparable benefits, you may find it challenging to secure the top talent that can help your business thrive.

Today’s successful entrepreneurs are taking a holistic and competitive approach to hiring, considering their culture and social presence as well as salary, to ensure they are poised to stand out in the current crowded labor market.

Lord & Taylor sold to Le Tote

BY ALEXANDER SOULE

A

San Francisco company that rents clothing online is acquiring Lord & Taylor, which has department stores in Eastchester, Yonkers and West Nyack among nearly 40 in all.

Le Tote is paying $100 million to buy the Lord & Taylor chain from parent Hudson’s Bay. Under the terms of the deal, Hudson’s Bay will be given an option to “recapture” some stores for redevelopment to other brands or formats, to include non-retail uses.

Lord & Taylor contributed more than $1 billion in sales to Hudson’s Bay last year, with the Toronto-based company’s overall revenue totaling $7 billion. The Hudson’s Bay retail family includes Saks Fifth Avenue, which has a Greenwich store, and Saks Off Fifth, with a location at the Stamford Town Center mall.

A predecessor parent company of Macy’s bought Lord & Taylor’s holding company in 1986, then sold it in 2006 to a private equity investment firm which within two years flipped Lord & Taylor to Hudson’s Bay. Over the past few years, Hudson’s Bay has updated some of its Lord & Taylor locations, including in Stamford where the

company expanded shoe, dress and jewelry departments among other changes. Last year, however, the company slated 10 stores for closure including its flagship Manhattan location in a real estate sale that eliminated a $500 million mortgage from its balance sheet.

JPR Mechanical of New Rochelle files for Chapter 7

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

30th Anniversary ary Westchester Real Estate Awards Breakfast fast

J.P.R. Mechanical Inc., a New Rochelle heating and air conditioning contractor that has worked on major public works projects, has filed for Chapter 7 liquidation.

Separate bankruptcy petitions were filed for two affiliates, J.P.R. Mechanical Services Inc. and J&G Group Inc. JPR’s owner and his wife, Timothy and Dina Schmidt of Westport, Connecticut, simultaneously filed for Chapter 11 reorganization on Aug. 16 in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains.

JPR has worked on projects such as the Second Avenue Subway in Manhattan, the Long Island Rail Road east side access concourse, and LaGuardia Airport terminal renovations.

The company is based at 255 Main St. in New Rochelle, and operates a facility on East 164th Street in the Morrisania section of the Bronx.

The company estimated that the assets and the liabilities both range from $10 million and $50 million. More than 200 creditors are listed.

The Schmidts estimated assets up to $50,000 and liabilities up to $10 million.

More detailed financial information is due by the end of the month.

Three lawsuits filed this week in Westchester Supreme Court suggest that JPR has been short of cash for a while.

A.D.E. Systems Inc., a wholesale distributor of commercial and industrial HVAC equipment in Nassau County, claims that JPR has paid none of the nearly $1.2 million bill for goods delivered in December. Schmidt and Anthony Ruffino, according to the complaint, personally guaranteed payment.

A Connecticut Secretary of State business record names Ruffino of White Plains as president and Schmidt as vice president of JPR Mechanical Inc. as of

2015. The bankruptcy petitions show Schmidt as JPR’s president and sole shareholder and do not name Ruffino.

S.W. Anderson Sales Corp., a wholesale distributor in Farmingdale, claims that JPR, Schmidt and Ruffino have refused to pay $347,459 for heating and air conditioning materials.

Albert Weiss Air Conditioning Products of Manhattan sued Ruffino for allegedly not paying $113,046 delivered to JPR last year.

A year ago, Schneider Electric USA Inc. sued JPR, claiming it was still owed $424,547 for work and materials it provided JPR on the Second Avenue Subway project in Manhattan. Schneider withdrew the case in January, following settlement negotiations.

The JPR companies and the Schmidts are represented by Dawn Kirby of Scarsdale, Lawrence Morrison of Manhattan and John Stackpole Groarke of Garden City.

AGs James and Tong sue to block Trump’s public aid immigration rule

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

N

ew York Attorney General Letitia James and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong have teamed up to sue the Trump administration over its rule that would deny citizenship and permanent residency to low-income immigrants who rely on federal welfare benefits, including food stamps and government-subsidized housing.

James filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of New York, arguing that the rule would have a negative impact on the economy and specifically target nonwhite

WCBJ

and low-income immigrants.

“Generations of citizens landed on the welcoming shores of Ellis Island with nothing more than a dream in their pockets,” James said.

“The Trump administration’s thinly veiled efforts to only allow those who meet their narrow ethnic, racial and economic criteria to gain a path to citizenship is a clear violation of our laws and our values. Quite simply, under this rule, more children will go hungry, more families will go without medical care and more people will be living in the shadows and on the streets. We cannot and we will not let that happen.”

“The Public Charge Rule is a partisan scheme to vilify

immigrants who, like generations of families before them, seek support to lift their families out of poverty,” said Tong.

“We are talking about access to doctors, healthy food and safe housing — the most basic foundations that kids need to grow and thrive. Today, Connecticut joins states across the country in defending access to the American Dream. This rule is yet another cruel and unconstitutional racist ploy to intimidate and penalize immigrants of color.

It cannot stand.”

James and Tong are joined in their lawsuit by Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan and the municipal government of New York City.

IN COURT Credit card company claims businessman’s bankruptcy conceals $1.85M toner cartridge fraud

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Monroe businessman should not be allowed to use bankruptcy to stop collection of a $1.85 million debt, a creditor claims, because the debt was the result of a fraudulent scheme.

TSYS Merchant Solutions sued David Reich in federal bankruptcy court in Poughkeepsie on Aug. 15, seeking approval to continue a Colorado lawsuit against Reich that is scheduled for trial.

The Broomfield, Colorado, credit card processing company claims that Reich and several associates engaged in a Ponzi scheme that operated out of Reich’s home in Monroe in Orange County.

Reich’s bankruptcy attorney, Robert J. Rock of Albany, did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.

Reich filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April, declaring $448,500 in assets and $3.1 million in liabilities.

Most of the debts are for business services provided to his company, NY Toner & Supplies Inc., including $2 million to TSYS that it lists as disputed.

TSYS claims that NY Toner was a front for Veteran Toner Services, a Monroe business that purportedly sold and serviced toner cartridges. In 2013, TSYS approved Veteran Toner’s application for credit card services.

TSYS processes transactions between merchants and the banks that issue credit cards. But Veteran Toner, according to TSYS, used fake invoices to disguise credit card transactions as toner sales, to raise cash for operations and personal expenses.

Veteran Toner operated with offices in San Pedro, California, Chicago and Monroe.

The Monroe office, TSYS claims in a 2016 lawsuit filed in Colorado against Reich and associates, was the source of fraudulent credit card transactions.

Veteran Toner allegedly exploited the chargeback feature of credit cards.

Customers who do not receive merchandise, for example, can ask the credit card company to cancel the debt, in some cases up to 180 days after the transaction. Then TSYS

credits the customer’s bank and demands reimbursement from the merchant.

In late 2015, Veteran Toner began running up more credit card transactions, according to the Colorado lawsuit. In August 2016, Veteran Toner suddenly discontinued operations.

Then the chargebacks started coming in, totaling $1.8 million. Credit card holders claimed that goods had not been delivered, but the correspondence, purportedly sent by unrelated individuals, used nearly identical language, including grammatical errors.

When TSYS tried to recover the charges from Veteran Toner, it was notified that

PRESENTED BY:

Veteran’s bank account had insufficient funds. Not a single chargeback transaction was reimbursed.

TSYS claims in the Colorado lawsuit that more than $1.1 million of the chargebacks were initiated by Reich, his wife Devora, or persons operating within one mile of their home.

The filing of a bankruptcy petition automatically stops creditors from collecting debts, so as to allow the petitioner to reorganize and the court to sort out obligations.

TSYS is asking the bankruptcy court for relief from the automatic stay.

Discovery in the Colorado lawsuit is completed, more than 79,000 pages of doc-

uments have been produced and witnesses have been lined up for a five-day trial in December.

The Colorado court is familiar with the facts and the trial would be the most efficient way to deal with TSYS’ claims, the company argues.

Reich filed for bankruptcy, TSYS states in a court filing, “almost certainly in an effort to delay or derail trial, or to seek a more convenient forum.”

His debt should not be discharged, TSYS argues, and bankruptcy court should award TSYS no less than what it obtains in the Colorado action.

KEEPING PACE

BY PAULINE MOSLEY

C

ybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing computing disciplines. Consequently, the U.S. government has been grappling with significant gaps in both the size and skill level of federal cybersecurity staffing for nearly two decades. The recent highly publicized cases of significant data breaches such as Capital One and Experian only underscore the need for people proficient in these areas.

According to CyberSeek, an initiative funded by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), the U.S. faced a shortfall of almost 314,000 cybersecurity professionals as of January 2019. To better understand this dilemma, the country’s total employed cybersecurity workforce is approximately 716,000.

Researchers are predicting that by 2022, the global cybersecurity workforce shortage will reach upwards of 1.8 million unfilled positions.

Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems is aggressively addressing these cybersecurity issues and challenges. We have

designed cybersecurity courses and programs and become a designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the NSA and DHS. Over the last five years Pace has offered free cybersecurity summer experiences for both high school students and high school teachers through the GenCyber program by the National Security Agency and the National Science Foundation.

The goals of the program are to increase interest in cybersecurity careers and diversity in the cybersecurity workforce, help all students understand correct and safe

online behavior and how they can become good digital citizens, and improve teaching methods for delivery of cybersecurity content in K-12 curricula.

This summer, Pace University offered the free, one-week interactive and mission-driven camp to high school students from 31 schools in four states.

This popular program attracts students from as far as Houston and as close as Westchester. We serve students from diverse school districts as well as students with special needs. As an African-American woman in computer science, I’m very

passionate about building a camp cohort that has good gender diversity, especially girls of color. There is not only a cybersecurity workforce shortage, but there also exists a lack of representation among women and minorities, particularly African-Americans, who are disproportionally underrepresented in scientific and technological fields. The GenCyber funding stream enables us to begin to address important issues, including the lack of cybersecurity awareness and the STEM dilemma. The camp helps encourage, empower and equip girls and minori-

ties with the confidence needed to succeed in these fields.

The name of the camp — Camp CryptoBot — is a term I came up with to reflect the marriage of ciphers and robotics.

This is the third year that Pace University’s Seidenberg School has held the weeklong training camp teaching the basics of cybersecurity, ethics and online safety to high school students. The program ran from July 29 to Aug. 2.

Students who attended the camp learned a plethora of ciphers as well as about land, air and aquatic robotics and the importance of communication between these devices to preserve the integrity of data. What makes this camp experience

so unique is its partnership with the U.S. Navy. Chief Michael Duncan, who has played an integral role in the camp’s success for the past two summers, developed the scenario for this year’s camp. Using three types of robotics and various ciphers, campers were given four days to discover who hacked Pace’s systems by decoding clues hidden in various campus buildings.

Earlier in July, Pace hosted a similar camp for 23 high school teachers from 10 states under the direction of Professor Andreea Cotoranu and Dr. Li-Chiou Chen. The GenCyber Teacher Camp is designed to promote best practices in cybersecurity and the development of curricula and lesson plans that can be used to train students in cybersecurity concepts across many subject areas.

During the seven-day program, teachers gained the tools and knowledge they need to provide students with a basic understanding of cybersecurity.

Cyber insecurity: problems and solutions

W

e increasingly welcome “The Internet of Things (IoT)” into our lives. We enjoy the convenience, the promise of increased office efficiency and the novelty of it all. But not all the news is rosy: one glaring problem with this new technology, increasingly in the news, is the revelation that the big companies, which provide this technology can “tune in” and gather data from these devices and their end users. “Big brother is watching you” has become far more than a science fiction statement.

Manufacturers of these IoT devices have tried to calm anxieties over who’s listening and gathering information by stating that it is possible to “delete” a conversation or action. But taking the step of “delete this conversation” doesn’t eliminate or alter the intru-

sive nature of these devices. Even when a device is turned off or when data is deleted, the device can still track user behavior. That is what drives revenues for these manufacturers.

As problematic as that issue is, it’s not the largest looming threat from IoT. The real danger emerges from the casualness with which people treat these IoT devices, from smartphones to iPads and everything in between. They buy them and connect them to their networks. And herein lies the crux of the problem: these devices, for the most part, are not secure.

What that means is that, when a user plugs in any unsecured device, that action can create a direct link between that particular device and your business email. And your business email is the gateway

to cyberattacks. Access via email is the most prevalent form of attack levied on infrastructures.

As a business owner, protecting your network should be top of mind. IoT is a real threat. Do not connect one of these devices to your network and do not let anyone (employees, vendors) with access to your infrastructure connect an IoT device to your network — unless it is made secure.

Always remember that these devices are not secure. Before you connect any device to your network, take the appropriate steps to see that it is secured. This typically involves finding a software platform that provides the overall umbrella of protection. It is usually not an “off-the-shelf” solution found at your corner store.

Here’s another frequently overlooked cyber hazard:

the security system and cameras. If there is a camera in a building monitoring office security, odds are that it is connected to the internet and not secure (similar to IoT devices). This, too, is a potential pathway to the business email and company infrastructure, which unfortunately can yield high dividends for hackers and major headaches for the business.

A company’s IT firm or MSP must serve as a relentless advocate for the security of the entire business infrastructure. Many don’t.

And they should.

There are legislative proposals to require manufacturers to secure devices and close this glaring hole in cybersecurity.

In California, former Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB327 which, starting January 2020, requires

WCBJ

that any maker of an internet-connected or “smart” device ensure that the item has reasonable security features, which will protect the device and any information contained therein from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. If it can be accessed outside a local area network with a password, it needs to either come with a unique password for each device, or force users to set their own password the first time they connect.

Accordingly, there will be no more generic default credentials for a hacker to guess.

Other states are likely to follow. Congress is also considering legislation.

But, even if this becomes a national trend, remember that manufacturers are not IT or cybersecurity experts.

Their decisions are driven by bottom-line revenue, not

cybersecurity. While they may make a good faith effort to comply with any regulations that mandate securing their features, this is not a guarantee of total protection.

The IoT is the next frontier in the cybersecurity war.

We need to be certain that our connected devices carry the level of security needed to protect us from hackers. Take the time to talk with a cybersecurity expert to make certain that your network is protected. Alexa, Siri, smartphones and other devices are fun, but if not secured, they are the gateway to a world of trouble.

GOOD THINGS ARTSWESTCHESTER ANNOUNCES GRANT OPPORTUNITIES Artists, cultural groups and community organizations are invited to apply for the 2019 Arts Alive Grants from ArtsWestchester. Awarded annually, these grants help to ensure that residents throughout Westchester and Rockland counties have access to the arts in their communities, particularly in areas where access may be limited.

The deadlines to apply for Arts Alive Grants are Wednesday, Sept. 18 in Westchester County and Wednesday, Oct. 2 in Rockland County. Applications and program guidelines are available online at artswestchester.org/grants/ arts-alive-grant-program.

Arts Alive Grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program (DEC), a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) with the support of the governor and the New York state Legislature and are administered by ArtsWestchester.

“The Arts Alive Grants are one of our most effective means of supporting arts activities for diverse populations in Westchester and Rockland counties,” said Janet Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester.

“These grants are an opportunity not just for artists, but also for cultural groups and community organizations such as houses of worship or libraries, for instance. So long as your organization can demonstrate a history of ongoing arts and cultural programs, you are eligible to apply for these grants.”

An independent panel comprised of artists, as well as business, civic and cultural leaders, will review the applications and make award recommendations to ArtsWestchester’s Board of Trustees.

Funds are available in three categories: Arts Alive Project, Arts Alive Artist and Arts Alive Arts Education.

Several pre-application workshops are available to help individuals fill out the applications. In addition, this year ArtsWestchester is offering office hours by appointment only on selected dates.

Interested participants should email lbrady@artswestchester.org to RSVP for a workshop.

WOLFS WALK STREET FESTIVAL The Second annual Wolfs Walk street festival, presented by the Pelham Chamber of Commerce, will take place Saturday, Sept. 7 from 4 to 11 p.m. Back by popular demand, the event will feature live music, artisanal food and drink, a highly curated selection of artists, artisans, crafters and retailers as well as a selection of nonprofit organizations that will be on hand to share information about their work and missions.

Wolfs Walk will take place on Wolfs

Lane between Second Street and Boulevard in Pelham. Local live musicians will take to the Wolfs Walk stage throughout the evening and the popular Pelham Larks will kickoff the music while serenading guests up and down the street.

“When we came up with the idea of a new kind of street experience like Wolfs Walk, it was our goal to create a public event highlighting all the diverse restaurants and food purveyors, artists, designers, and retail-

ers, musicians and nonprofits that make our region unique with the hope that it would become an annual tradition,” said Clayton Bushong, president of the Pelham Chamber of Commerce. “The overwhelming positive response to our first Wolfs Walk – even in bad weather – signaled to us that it was something that we absolutely would continue to offer the community.”
