REGION’S TOP PROJECTS OFF TO ALBANY

questions,” said Mischa Zabotin, chairman of FASNY’s board of trustees. “At this stage … the ball is in the Common Council’s court.”

Once the findings are approved, FASNY will have to submit its site plans, which opens the door to public hearings. The vote on a special permit comes even further down the road.

But that road could prove rocky, as the plan has proved unpopular with neighbors.

In 2010, FASNY, a bilingual FrenchAmerican school that leases campuses in Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Scarsdale, paid

he Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council is backing 21 public and private projects as regional priorities in this year’s competitive round of state funding to spur economic activity and job growth across the state.

Though an unlikely scenario when state capital grants and employer tax credits are announced in December in Albany, more than $572 million in economic activity could be generated in the seven-county region if all of the council’s priority projects are funded, according to Empire State Development officials. The projects potentially would create and retain more than 5,061 fulltime jobs and employ an estimated 6,268 construction workers across Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties.

Competing with nine other economic development regions created in 2011 by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Mid-Hudson region last year was awarded a total of $92.8 million from state agencies for 84 private and municipal projects. That was a nearly 39 percent increase from the region’s share of state funding in the inaugural round of awards in the consolidated funding application system started by Cuomo.

The Mid-Hudson council’s strategic plan for economic development last year was judged one of the best in the state, allowing it to tap up to $21.5 million in tax-exempt federal industrial development bonds and $43.5 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits. Aimee Vargas, regional director of the Empire State Development Corp.

Mid-Hudson office, said the council received 387 consolidated funding applications this year, the most of any region in the state and up from 251 in 2012. ESD staff culled through 101 priority project applications, a roughly 33 percent increase from 2012.

FASNY project passes another hurdle Opposition unwavering

by CryStaL KaNg ckang@westfairinc.com

AFTER TWO YEARS OF STUDIES and public hearings, the French-American School of New York’s plan to create a $70 million campus on a former golf course is one step closer to final approval.

The White Plains Common Council last week accepted the project’s final environmental impact statement as complete.

Rye Ridge Shopping Center reopens Smoke, not flame, was culprit in store closures

S

everal customers walked into Family Discount Center & Ace Hardware last weekend and hugged its owner, Steve Rotker. “Thanks for being open,” one familiar face said.

The store reopened last week after an electrical fire shut it down for 25 days. Ten percent of the stock had been replaced – not only food and candy, but also plush toys that might end up in a child’s mouth despite a parent’s best efforts. The store had been hit with some minor smoke damage and was without electricity for an extended time.

“I’m fortunate,” Rotker said. “It was mostly the inconvenience of not being open.”

Rye Ridge Shopping Center is a twolevel cluster in the village of Rye Brook at the intersection of Ridge Street and Bowman Avenue. Paul S. Rosenberg, the mayor, has called the shopping center a quasi-downtown. Rye Brook, which came into existent in 1982, lacks a traditional town center like you’d see in its older neighboring communities.

On Aug. 21, an electrical panel in a utility room sparked, sending billows of smoke rising from the lower level, which is also the “back” portion of the center farther down the hill and just across the street from Port Chester Middle School.

Stores on the lower and upper levels were evacuated and several businesses with smoke damage were shut down by the village. Internet and cable access went dark even in those stores that didn’t lose power.

Immediately after the fire, stores like Rye Ridge Deli were forced to only accept cash because their credit card machines were offline. Finch’s Drugs was opened but in crisis mode because to fill prescriptions for customers it needed cable access

to communicate with insurance companies. Luckily, the pharmacy was prepared, according to owner Michele Fiscella.

“We went to our Plan B: that fiveletter word, ‘modem,’ that old-fashioned thing,” she said. Fiscella’s employees used a dial-up Internet connection to fill prescriptions, which was efficient except that she had to make sure no one used the phone line and inadvertently kicked the cashiers offline. Cablevision was on the scene for repairs and restored the cable access quickly, she said.

The village hoisted yellow caution tape in front of the closed stores and posted “unsafe structure” notices on storefronts that had smoke damage. The building management company brought in cleanup crews and worked to install large temporary generators in the lower parking lot. The lower level was entirely shut in the weeks following the fire.

Several stores were prepared to reopen but needed not only electricity but inspections from several agencies, including the village Building Department, which had to clear all of the stores for reopening.

Even with village clearance, some stores needed or still need further approvals from agencies like the Department of Health.

The fire was flameless and the lack of visible damage may have meant some regular patrons underestimated its impact in the first week after the fire. Business owners said that customers tried to cross the tape and go into the stores the first few days they were closed. Only after a few days did residents get the idea that their “quasi-downtown” might not be fully functional again for some time.

By early September, foot traffic was scarce even during the normally-bustling lunch hours. The parking lots were empty and seeing the activity of workers and a slew of trucks at the center may have led

some locals to think that all the stores in the center were closed.

Cerbone’s Bakery, on the upper level, closed in September not because of the fire but for renovations. Owner Cesar Aparicio said he closed the store for two weeks to remodel, add new display cases, a cake refrigerator and new ceilings.

When he reopened in mid-September, most of the shopping center was still out.

He gave out free cupcakes and received visits from a lot of his regulars, but not a lot of walk-ins.

“It was packed, but I expected more,” he said. Rye Ridge businesses, he said, had a symbiotic relationship. Even though he and other stores didn’t receive damage or lose power, they lost customers, who he said visit the center for a collective shopping experience rather than to visit one store. “If someone closes, it’s like a chain,” he said.

As of press time, work continued in the lower level lot, but power had been restored and all stores had reopened except New Dance studio.

Fore-ward to Westchester for PGA by johN goLDeN jgolden@westfairinc.com

M

arking a return to its nearly century-old roots in New York, The PGA of America plans to open a satellite office this fall in Elmsford.

Officials at PGA headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., said the office will be at 49 Knollwood Road within the “Golf Central” site of the headquarters of both the Metropolitan PGA Section and the Metropolitan Golf Association.

The satellite office will be headed by Kevin Ring, The PGA of America’s chief marketing officer, who will relocate to the area for the planned fall opening. The space will be used by PGA officials and staff as the world’s largest sports organization prepares for its Centennial Celebration in 2016 and 98th PGA Championship that year at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. PGA officials said the office also will be used as a footprint in the region from which to foster deeper marketing, broadcasting, public relations and communications relationships in the world’s largest media capital.

The PGA of America was founded in Manhattan at the Hotel Martinique, now

the Radisson Martinique, on April 10, 1916, after an exploratory meeting at a nearby club called by department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker – who donated the namesake Wanamaker Trophy that is annually awarded to the PGA champion. The inaugural PGA Championship was played that year in Bronxville.

“We are very excited about establishing a foothold in the New York metropolitan area, near the birthplace of The PGA of America,” PGA CEO Pete Bevacqua said in the announcement. “New York holds a key to our future and a special link to our storied past. As we drive forward towards our centennial in 2016, the region will play a major role in telling the story of the first 100 years of The PGA and what the next 100 have in store for our association.”

Bevacqua noted the Elmsford office will more closely link the association to many of its key corporate partners in the metropolitan area and deepen its ties to its domestic broadcast partners here, including CBS, NBC and Turner Broadcasting System.

“Of course, Palm Beach Gardens is our home, but a New York presence is an essential move as we head toward our very promising future,” Bevacqua said.

aint supply retailer Benjamin Moore & Co. has chosen downtown Nyack as the launch site this month for “Main Street Matters,” a company-funded national revitalization project that will brighten with colors the facades of business districts in 20 communities.

The New Jersey-based company’s Rockland County contractor, Spilotras Painting Ltd. in Chestnut Ridge, spread sidewalk paint cloths, raised aluminum ladders and began work on Nyack storefronts Sept. 17. In the next three to four weeks, owner Michael Spilotras’ contracting crew will apply fresh coats of paint to the exteriors of 20 businesses on Main Street between North Broadway and Cedar Street in the riverfront village.

With a Sept. 16 outdoor kickoff event and the first brushstrokes postponed by rainy weather, Benjamin Moore representatives instead met with Nyack Mayor Jen White at City Hall to discuss the logistics of the project.

“We are a very active business district that was severely hit by Sandy,” White said. “It did a lot of damage, and it was tough on small businesses. This project is going to be a real boon for the community and increase the interest and the foot traffic in the downtown.”

The mayor said the last time Nyack had a major renovation project was in the 1970s. Since then, the only renovations on Main Street were at Harbor Hill, a three-story American restaurant that reconstructed its exterior nearly seven years ago.

Nyack last year added new streetlights and benches and repaved roads and sidewalks. But the mayor said even a smallscale project like that took eight years of planning. Approval came quickly for the Benjamin Moore project compared with what could have been another extended wait process, she said.

Clad in bright-red “Main Street Matters” t-shirts, painters began their work in sunny early-autumn weather at Koblin’s Pharmacy at 96 Main St. and at Johnnycakes, a popular diner posting chalkboard specials at 84 Main St. Koblin’s Pharmacy store manager Chuck Travers said a drug store has operated at that site since the 1800s. In 1934, owner David Koblin opened Koblin’s

Pharmacy. The family-run business was passed down to Jerry Koblin in 1967.

“This renovation project is great for Nyack, especially in a tough economic time, to refresh the storefront,” said Travers, a Nyack native. “We just repainted the whole front of the building last year and replaced the awning. Benjamin Moore is now going to freshen up our storefront with the same color scheme – federal blue and dark blue.”

Benjamin Moore chief marketing officer David Melançon said the project gives downtown retailers and business owners supplying the project a chance to partner together.

The Benjamin Moore business at 124 Main St. will provide some of the paint for the project, which will tap into 120 gallons of Benjamin Moore stock.

“We’ll be offering further discounts to other businesses not on Main Street that want to repaint their storefronts,” Melançon said. “We’re also giving seminars on how to grow businesses through partnering organizations and providing communities with plans for resilience in the face of natural disasters.”

The project is expected to be completed by Oct. 4 with a celebratory event taking place on Main Street following the renovation.

Nyack was chosen as first beneficiary of the Main Street Matters project because of its proximity to Benjamin Moore headquarters in Montvale, N.J. “There was no ranking of one through 20,” said Benjamin Moore spokeswoman Kimberlee Bradshaw. “We’re rolling it out in terms of the work being done in Nyack first because we want to start near our headquarters and also end near home in Sea Bright, New Jersey, towards the beginning of next summer.”

Benjamin Moore representatives reached out to more than 100 communities that were close to any of its retail stores and asked local governments and businesses if they wanted to nominate their municipality for the competition.

After Benjamin Moore launched its competition on www.paintwhatmatters.com, about 800 cities, towns and villages nominated themselves. In the end, 20 were chosen based on the number of votes cast from May to June.

“You could do one vote per day,” Bradshaw said. “What was great about this campaign was you saw people vote for towns they didn’t live in.”

ow popular is the American Gold Cup CSI4*-W, a World Cup qualifying equestrian event contested recently at Old Salem Farm in North Salem?

Almost 38 percent of the 45 vendors, which hailed from around the country, were first-time participants ... and their wares were not necessarily for the stables.

Or, to put it another way, says Mark Ward-Willis, brand specialist for Danbury Audi, the car dealership’s tent used to be pitched by the elegant main brick and wood stable with a cluster of other vendors. This year, Audi was spread out on the field not far from the equestrian action.

The car dealership was joined by upscale companies such as Beval Saddlery Ltd., Jim Dratfield’s Petography, Equestrian Services International L.L.C., Hermès, The Mainline Fence & Supply Corp. and Stronghold Equine Equipment. It is, however, a measure of the event’s prestige that it now attracts businesses that have nothing to do with the equine industry, but are interested in showcasing their high-end products. Among the first-timers was Sorab & Roshi, the elegant Greenwich, Conn., jewelry store profiled in WAG, the business journals’ sister publication.

Another newcomer was Erez Ancient Coin Jewelry of Berkeley, Calif., whose antique offerings at modern prices ($150$3,600) had at least a tangential relationship to the day. Many of the pieces featured Alexander the Great, whose black stallion Bucephalus would have more than matched the field of 36 international entries.

Under peekaboo sunshine, 4,234 spectators saw Brianne Goutal trot off with the $200,000 cup aboard Nice De Prissey. Tracy Fenney and her mount MTM Timon took second, while Beezie Madden and Coral Reef Via Volo finished third.

Organized by Stadium Jumping, presented by Suncast and broadcast on NBC, the Gold Cup was estimated to add some $6 million to the coffers of Westchester County and the surrounding area.

campus in Suffern, the council unanimously endorsed the following projects as priorities for the region: White Plains Multimodal Transportation Center – A city of White Plains project to redevelop its public transportation hub with the Metro-North Railroad and other public partners. The approximately $1.71 million project would create 4 permanent and 1,000 construction jobs.

Teutonia Buena Vista, Yonkers – A 361-unit apartment tower to be built on Buena Vista Avenue at a cost of approximately $148.7 million. The private development would create 20 permanent and 1,020 construction jobs.

Yonkers Downtown – SFC Yonkers, the city’s downtown master developer, plans construction of a $6.8 million public waterfront esplanade on the Hudson River that would create 75 construction jobs and support 114 jobs in the downtown area.

Harbor Square, village of Ossining –A $65 million mixed-use redevelopment project on the Hudson planned by Ginsburg Development Companies includes a 188unit apartment complex and a waterfront restaurant, park and promenade. The village seeks funding for a $3.4 million project to expand the ferry dock at the site and create a tourist destination.

FASNY — From page 1

$11 million for the 129-acre former home of Ridgeway Country Club. After 33 years of operation, FASNY needed a new space to accommodate more students and provide outdoor athletic facilities.

“The idea was to consolidate the three campuses into one,” Zabotin said. “Right now, we rent the three schools we occupy.

But we wanted something to call our own.”

The school has proposed creating a campus clustered on 46 acres of land that would include school buildings, athletic fields, playgrounds to accommodate 1,200 students from nursery to 12th grade and a staff of up to 250. The remaining 84 acres would be set aside for a nature preserve that would be open to the public for activities such as biking and jogging.

FASNY has faced fierce opposition from neighborhood groups including Gedney Association, which represents 400 households in the Gedney Farms neighborhood.

Northern Dutchess Hospital – The Rhinebeck hospital plans to build an approximately $45 million, 81,000-squarefoot medical pavilion that will create 16 permanent and 100 construction jobs.

Putnam Hospital Center – The Carmel hospital plans a $1.54 million project to build and equip a new surgical suite.

It is expected to create 14 permanent and 15 construction jobs.

Nyack Hospital – The Rockland County hospital plans an approximately $11.77 million project to expand and modernize its emergency department. It will create 150 construction jobs and add 143 hospital jobs.

Clear Solution Labs – A turn-key contract manufacturer of health and beauty products and over-the-counter drugs proposes a $26 million project to retrofit a vacant 93,000-square-foot facility in Putnam County and create an incubator program for research and development companies and chemists. The project would create 150 manufacturing jobs and retain 50 along with 25 construction jobs.

Dutchess County Airport and Business Park – A $7.1 million project by the county to extend municipal water service to the airport and business park. It would create 20 construction jobs and indirectly support 238 permanent jobs.

Guerriere said the project was inappropriate and took away historic land that has never been developed. “This property is so wet that it wasn’t used for anything else except a golf course. It’s not appropriate for a development to come in here,” he said.

He added that the proposal isn’t consistent with environmental regulations.

“We’re replacing open green space with impervious space and creating multilane roads, which will have drainage issues,” Guerriere said. “But you also have buses traveling, so these lanes will be wide lanes. Parking could add a third lane.”

The multilane driveway will extend 3,000 feet, which concerns neighbors because it might interfere with traffic to nearby schools, including White Plains High School, German School New York and preschools.

To address those concerns, FASNY proposed alternative entrances to the campus at North Street and Bryant Avenue to alleviate traffic congestion. These were included in the final environmental statement accepted Sept. 16.

the city and Orange County Hudson Valley Lighting, a family-owned manufacturer of high-tech lighting that plans to redevelop a 140,000-square-foot facility. The $12.8 million project will create 180 construction and 50 permanent jobs and retain 180 jobs.

Taylor Biomass Energy – A $236 million project to construct a large-scale waste-to-energy manufacturing facility in Montgomery in Orange County. The project will create 384 construction jobs and 82 new full-time jobs and retain 35 jobs at Taylor.

3D Printing Initiative at SUNY New Paltz – SUNY New Paltz is embarked on an approximately $14.26 million academic and business development project to establish the region as a national center for 3D printing technology, design, research and manufacturing.

EPT Concord Resort – The planned $50 million redevelopment of the former Concord Resort property in the town of Thompson in Sullivan County as a destination resort community will employ 3,049 construction workers and create an estimated 1,475 permanent jobs.

Kolmar Laboratories Inc. – The Port Jervis manufacturer of skin care and personal care products plans a $1.65 million expansion at its 264,000-square-foot facility that will create 54 full-time and part-time jobs.

Warwick Valley Local Development Corp. Business Park – A $400,000 planning project to plan the redevelopment of the closed Mid-Orange Correctional

Facility site as a 130 acre business and technology campus.

Echo Lake Corporate Park –A $1.66 million first-phase project to develop infrastructure and a shovel-ready site for construction of a 1.5 million-square-foot warehouse on the 200-acre tract in the town of Goshen. The project will create 100 construction jobs.

“We knew traffic was the single biggest issue,” Zabotin said. “We listened to professional input from the city and came up with alternative solutions.”

The f low of traffic can be reduced by half, he said, because FASNY plans to keep most of the bus drop-offs and pickups on its property. Zabotin said FASNY also plans to stagger the opening and closing times of each of the divisions so

not everyone shows up and leaves at the same time.

“Between the long driveways that capture traffic, staggered start and stop times and the busing program, we feel we’ve done everything we can to mitigate traffic issues,” Zabotin said.

Union protests at Harrison work site

Your local advisors with a Worldwide Reach

Mr. Scott Benson, President of is pleased to welcome both Ms. Gena DiDonato and Mr. Jonathan Marwell, Jr.

T

he famed “union rat” was perched near the top of Gannett Drive in Harrison Sept. 17 as representatives from Tile, Marble & Terrazzo B.A.C. Local Union No. 7 of New York & New Jersey protested work being done at the Life Time Athletic Westchester complex.

“The project is not using our people,” said Patrick Bonici, the Long Island Citybased group’s field representative. “They carry their own people from what I understand.”

Bonici said while there might indeed be “some unions in there,” his group was unhappy with the bypassing of its workers in the region by Life Time Fitness Inc., the Minnesota-based company building the 200,000-plus-square-foot family fitness center.

An open bidding process “has the goal of attracting the highest-quality talent” in the region with an eye also on the sustainability of the project, he said. In Harrison, as with all the Life Time projects, he said, that leads to “a mix of union and nonunion labor.”

Jason Thunstrom, vice president of corporate communications and public relations for the company, said when Life Time, which operates centers in 19 states, begins new construction, “We generally take an open-shop approach.”

An open bidding process “has the goal of attracting the highest-quality talent” in the region with an eye also on the sustainability of the project, he said. In Harrison, as with all the Life Time projects, he said, that leads to “a mix of union and nonunion labor.”

In Westchester, he said, “I would venture to say about 90 percent of the project is union.”

And with regard to the Local Union No. 7, Thunstrom said, “They chose not to engage in the bidding process.”

He added that the class-A Harrison center is on target for its opening next year, at 1 Gannett Drive (soon to be renamed Westchester Park Drive).

The site, undergoing a dramatic transformation, was formerly owned by Gannett Co. Inc. and served as the longtime home of The Journal News until September 2012.

fter extensive research, Budget Renta-Car found that 5 percent of its New York customers cause half of the company’s accidents that result in damage suits. This 5 percent was made up primarily of people who are not traveling by plane. It would be foolish for Budget to continue to service this segment. These are C customers!

This basic service principle is founded on the wisdom that no business can be all things to all people. Bloomingdale’s knows that even among its well-heeled customers, some

are more valuable than others. They reward “preferred shoppers” with Godiva chocolates, handwritten thank-you notes and private shopping nights.

They know they don’t want all the business and that every customer is not equally valuable. For you and your organization to take advantage of this model, you need to divide your customers into three groups.

A-customers are your best customers.

While they may have greater needs, they contribute the most to your profits.

B-customers either have fewer needs or less ability to pay. They make mid-range additions to your profits.

C-customers can make a big impact on your bottom line and that impact may be a huge negative!

If you treat B and C customers the same your best ones, you may actually lose money on them. Bear in mind however, if you can keep costs low enough while serving them, they can be profitable. Don’t necessarily get rid of your B and C customers before con-

sidering how you may be able to reduce the costs of serving them through such tactics as membership fees or self-service.

Although Macy’s doesn’t charge membership fees it does assign its salespeople to give shoppers different levels of service according to the profit margins of the items they buy. In jewelry and luggage, doting salespeople provide all the help these customers need. However, in other departments, such as hosiery, customers help themselves.

You can also divide your service along these lines: • Better service for some customers.

• Lower cost services for others.

In the book, “Crafting the Customer Experience,” author Kelly McDonald reminds us that, “If you craft an exceptional customer-service experience for different types of people, your business will grow. It’s guaranteed to work, because people spend money on what they value. A key part of their values is how you make them feel, how you respond to their needs and wants, and how you treat them.”

The leader in the mutual fund industry, Fidelity, is trying to cover every base from discount broker Charles Schwab to Wall Street’s Merrill Lynch. On the other hand, Vanguard is focusing on hitting just one target better than anyone else and that is selling mutual funds directly to investors at low fees. Which company do you think is able to stretch the fewest resources to get the best returns?

To satisfy their value proposition, you will need a committed team. Define roles and accountability up front. Involve your staff in creating plans. They know the different types of people, which customer’s use the most service time while generating low profit and will have ideas about how to fix that.

Your team also knows which sales strategies are working, and what needs are not being filled. To reach your maximum profit potential, give the market what it wants.

Segment the market to target the right customer groups with the right service at the right cost. Do this, and profits will take care of themselves.

Questions for discussion: Who are our A, B and C customers?

Can we make each customer group profitable?

City blight gives way to rental housing

tate and Yonkers city officials joined with a national nonprofit developer recently to break ground on a $62.9 million apartment development in the city’s Ashburton Avenue corridor.

Schoolhouse Terrace at Croton Heights, a project of The Community Builders Inc., will rise on the site of the razed Yonkers Public School 6 at 33 Ashburton Ave. The development will add 121 apartments for tenants with a range of incomes to the city’s stock of affordable housing.

It will include a 70-unit building for families earning less than 30 percent to less than 60 percent of the area median income and a 50-unit apartment building for seniors earning less than 50 percent of AMI. The residential complex will sit atop two underground parking garages with 134 spaces.

Abandoned for more than 30 years, Public School 6 fell into a state of disrepair that ruled out preservation of the building by the developer. The school’s historic entry arch, though, will be incorporated into the housing construction.

Officials said the development will meet standards of both the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program and the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority’s Multifamily Performance Program.

The project is slated for completion in April 2015. It is expected to create more than 350 construction jobs and five permanent jobs.

The Community Builders, a 59-yearold nonprofit developer headquartered in Chicago, in 2011 was awarded $29.6 million in project financing from the New York State Homes and Community Renewal in the first round of funding through Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s regional economic development initiative and newly implemented consolidated funding application system. It was the largest award in the seven-county MidHudson region.

Project partners include the city of Yonkers and its Municipal Housing Authority, RBC Capital Markets, M&T Bank, The Bank of New York Mellon, Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the state Department of Environmental Conservation, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Bart Mitchell, president and CEO of The Community Builders, said the development “will be a platform for opportunity for residents and a terrific addition to the neighborhood” in a busy and largely blighted traffic

corridor where the city’s plans for commercial revitalization through public-private partnerships stalled in the recession, Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano at the groundbreaking ceremony said the city and its partners “are transforming what stood for years as a symbol of neglect and deterioration into a symbol of hope and new opportunity, providing quality, environmentally sustainable, affordable housing for Yonkers families, seniors and newcomers to our city.”

Keep marketing in the mix When it comes to marketing, we are caught between a tight budget and the need to know what to continue and what to change. We know that when you stop doing marketing you lose all the momentum. But we’re having trouble figuring out how much is enough, too much, too little. Help!

The goal is to increase demand by working on your marketing programs and there are lots of ways to do that. Develop a specialty to pull new clients in. Keep in mind that in marketing you need to have several initiatives going at the same time. Finding the money for marketing is essential.

Marketing is a broad field. It is the one discipline that most business owners feel overwhelmed by. It’s hard to measure results, it takes time and persistence to get anywhere.

There are lots of things to try and mistakes can be costly.

attention to you. Whether your business sells B-to-C (Business to Consumer) or B-to-B (Business to Business), marketing is all about grabbing individual eyeballs and keeping their attention fixed on your business.

Here’s a simple list of ideas to get you started. Define one thing to accomplish in each area. Research the cost to do it. Decide on the order in which to do each.

• Email information campaign • Direct mail campaign • Key word advertising • Logo, look and feel • Print advertising • Proposal development • Public relations • Public speaking • Referrals program • Sales force tools, handouts, scripts, qualification process • Telemarketing campaign • Trade shows • Vertical market plan • Videos on YouTube • Website development Put emphasis on Internet marketing tools, as they are generally the cheapest, but don’t avoid complementing those efforts

with hard copy and direct mail. Avoid the mistake of leaving marketing to last. As you plan your company’s overall budget, allocate resources and think about the upcoming year’s plans. If your funds are very limited, pick one or two simple things to try.

While you know very well what your company does well, don’t assume your prospects are as well informed. Break your customers into groups. Define common needs of each group. Gear a marketing message to the specific needs of each of those groups.

Make your product or service look like it’s customized to the group. Do research to find more companies with similar demographics.

Ask your customers where and when they look for information about the products or services available from companies like yours.

Use marketing tools to push customized promotions to specific prospects in the most likely venues.

Keep in mind that in marketing you need to have several initiatives going at the same time you’re working to build brand awareness and recognition. It takes six to eight impressions to break through the noise and clutter so that a specific target becomes aware of your company. When budgeting for

a marketing campaign, it’s better to have multiple efforts targeted at a smaller group than to have one effort targeting a larger group.

Start small, test to see what gets a reaction.

Build on the successes.

Marketing can be the fuel for the future growth of your business. If your business has new prospects, it can grow. Without enough clients in the door it struggles. Put money, time and effort toward marketing in order to build a strong pipeline of new business opportunity. As clients come in from one successful campaign, that builds the funds for the next marketing effort.

Grave endeavor for Garrison filmmaker

W

hen Garrison’s Madeline Rae switched her professional career from the political world of her native Ohio to the arts field in New York City, she had no idea her new life would open doors to an exciting project in Singapore.

Married to James Rae, who was raised in Cross River, she recently returned from a prolonged stay in Singapore and later in China, where Credit Suisse transferred her husband. Her documentary on the ancient practice of Qingming – a time set aside for tending graves – is in the final stages of editing and has been set to traditional Asian music. The holiday ushers in the spring season.

“Family members gather at ancestors’ graves to scrub the tombstones, weed the area and burn joss sticks and joss paper offerings of items they think their ancestors would enjoy, as well as leaving such food offerings as chicken, oranges and coffee to please and thank the ancestors and to discourage them from returning to haunt the living,” she said.

“The joss paper is a multibillion-dollar industry,” Rae said. “The paper items manufactured for sale to family members include replicas of such diverse items as golf clubs, thermos bottles, houses, iPads, even figures of servants.”

“After the graveside visits, families convene at home for a celebration comparable to our Thanksgiving,” she said.

Rae was encouraged to undertake the documentary by professors at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, which opened a branch in Singapore.

“The biggest problem in making the documentary was that these are very private people,” she said. “There are questions they won’t answer. They don’t want to anger the ghosts. You can’t get too personal and they don’t want cameras in their homes.”

Rae feels fortunate to have had this contact with Singapore natives.

“Ex pats gravitate toward one another.

It is no problem meeting them, but it is difficult to know local residents.”

Singapore was a far cry from Bexley, Ohio, where Rae was raised as the youngest of five children. Their mother, a forensic scientist, was a role model for an ambitious daughter. While working for a B.A. degree in English at Ohio State University, Rae served on the staff of Ohio State Sen. Richard

Schafrath. Upon graduation she relocated to Washington, D.C., as the personal secretary to the late Ohio Congressman Paul Gillmor.

Her introduction to the world of arts came after a visit back to Ohio while serving the congressman. The owners of a new business featuring gifts and collectibles were impressed with the congressional secretary’s people skills and offered her an opportunity to move to New York City for a hefty increase in salary to run its showroom.

“I filmed their corporate videos and then started doing shorts on my own,” she said of her introduction to the world of documentaries.

While working in New York, she met James Rae on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend. The pair dated for three months when his company threw them a curve ball with a transfer to Tokyo. They made the decision to marry and make the move together. That was 11 years ago.

In moving back to the states, Rae’s husband had wanted to live in Garrison. No sooner had they settled into the house on Old Albany Post Road than the most recent job transfer came. But she had time to get involved in the Old Road Society, serving as a board member.

The Raes have no intention of abandoning their dream of living in Garrison.

During their times away, family members enjoy occupying the house and availing themselves of its proximity to New York City.

Networking brings women’s work gains

BY JENNIFER BISSELL jbissell@westfairinc.com

A

t a time when women make up the majority of the workforce, but are often absent from executive leadership meetings, the jury is still out on whether or not the glass ceiling still exists.

But at a recent women’s seminar at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, attendees agreed on one thing: strong networks matter when it comes to advancing women’s careers.

“There’s been so much progress and I think we make that progress through positive example,” said Susan Fox, president of the White Plains Hospital. “You have more women in the workforce now that are willing

to be mentors. That increases our ability to move forward and with more speed.”

“I never had a mentor,” she added. “I had to figure it out myself.”

Hosted by accounting and professional services firm Citrin Cooperman & Co. L.L.P., five female executives spoke Sept. 18 about their careers paths and the major challenges they’ve faced as leaders. Each started their careers in “pink collar” positions in education, health care and retail, but now have taken over jobs typically held by men.

In addition to Fox, panelists at the event included Roberta Bernhardt, a Citrin Cooperman partner; Kimberly Cline, Long Island University president; Lori Littell-Pape, Chase Consumer and Community Banking chief control officer; and Dee DelBello, CEO of Westfair Communications, which publishes the Business Journal. The event was organized by Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains and Norwalk, Conn., offices.

A decades-old brotherhood of working men has provided a support network and camaraderie. But a network for women is just beginning, DelBello said, saying she believes the women have shattered the glass ceiling. Only 15 percent of executive leadership positions are held by women today. But with additional mentoring and time, more women will emerge as leaders, she said.

“God, I wish I was a young kid today,” DelBello said. “I think this next generation of women is absolutely incredible – the opportunities available to them, the courage and stamina of these women. I don’t think they’re going to have much trouble if they have confidence in themselves.”

Both panelists and audience members said it can be difficult standing up as the only woman in the room. But by teaming up with other women and by looking for mentors in both men and women, a better path is being blazed for women in the future, they said.

Institutions are starting to take work-life balances and flexible schedules more seriously, too, according to Cline.

Regarding Millennials, Cline said, “The work-life balance for them is huge. It’s important for us to tell them our stories, what happened along the way, to let them understand the importance of hard work. You can leave at 5. That’s your choice. But you’re not going to become CEO.” Bernhardt candidly recounted that when she graduated with her accounting degree about 25 years ago, there were not many positions open for women.

One hiring representative at one of the largest accounting firms at the time even blatantly told her that, despite her good grades, he couldn’t hire her because she was a women and a little older than the rest of her class. “‘You know I can’t hire you,’” she recalled him saying. “‘But I just had to meet you. You have a great GPA.’”

social media trends

The growing power of Twitter

A

ccording to Twitter, there are 200 million active Twitter users posting an average of 400 million tweets daily.

These numbers have increasingly enabled Twitter to promote itself as a brand marketing platform – complete with advertising – for companies of all sizes. It also explains why the Twitter website contains the findings of a Compete study depicting the top reasons why people follow brands on Twitter.

Interestingly, three of the four top reasons (discounts and promos – 94 percent; free stuff – 88 percent; and updates on upcoming sales – 79 percent) are primarily related to product prices. Close behind in fifth place at 79 percent is access to exclusive content.

Twitter has been responsible for a sizeable percentage of the increase in social media use in the past year. With social media usage rising from 67 percent to 72 percent this past year and the concurrent growth of numerous social media platforms, the overall growth of Twitter to 18 percent of all Internet users is significant. In 2010, it was 8 percent. Unlike many social media sites, there is little gender difference on Twitter.

Age demographics were also equally divided

between 18-29 and 30-64 year olds with the most rapid increase in usage being in the 30-49 age group.

In short: • Twitter is still growing and increasingly reaching a audience that transcends age demographics.

• It is rapidly striving to become a branding platform.

• Business users are increasingly using it for best pricing announcements and exclusive content.

How can Twitter and this information aid your marketing campaign?

Foremost, Twitter can help keep you in front of your audience. By posting quality tweets and retweets, you can keep your followers interested while regularly directing them to your blog, website or event. (A note of warning: keep your total percentage of retweets well below 20 percent of all your tweets. Not only are retweets less effective than original tweets but overdoing them often has negative consequences including the loss of both followers and credibility.)

Here’s a simple, but highly effective, ques-

tion we ask our clients to consider when tweeting and retweeting: Do your followers care?

Second, since 36 percent of Twitter users follow between six and 20 brands – it’s the largest group – and 33 percent follow fewer than six brands, if you can properly target your campaign directly toward your followers’ needs, why can’t your brand be one of the ones they also follow? Followers are over 33 percent more likely to visit the website, recommend or to purchase those brands they actively follow.

To increase your number of followers, you must also ensure your company’s communications and policies are both internally and externally consistent. Many campaigns have been undermined by inconsistent postings and content. This is important for any brand management campaign and one that becomes critical when taking into consideration the speed of social media and online communications in which one bad post can elicit an avalanche of negative reactions.

Monitoring conversations concerning your brand and industry, including hashtags

by bruCe NeWmaN

and keywords will also help define the content and scope of your internal communications and the parameters of your branding strategy.

Finally, engage your audience. Tweets that resonate or are interesting and unique will get the best response. Exclusive access to a video of a new product or even pictures of some of your employees (assuming they are appealing) can be highly effective strategies – and ones that we have used. Remember, the more authentic your voice, the better the engagement.

In summary, the growth and evolution of Twitter has resulted in a platform that can strengthen your brand while generating new followers and business. If relevant, you should seriously consider including it as a part of your marketing strategy.

Class-action targets travel booking sites

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

W

estchester County is set to move forward with a class-action lawsuit that accuses travel-booking websites of collecting hotel taxes, then underpaying the fair share to local governments.

Websites such as Hotels.com and Travelocity contract rooms at a discounted rate, then mark up the rooms for resale.

Nassau County filed suit in 2011 saying the sites charged and collected taxes based on the marked-up room rates, then paid local governments taxes based on the discounted rates, pocketing the difference. The websites say the retail rate includes a surcharge and that taxing the difference would constitute a new tax on hotels.

The suit was granted class-action status in April and every municipality in the state with a hotel tax is automatically a plaintiff unless it actively opts out by Oct. 15.

Westchester charges a 3 percent tax on hotel bookings, collecting roughly $5 million a year. On Sept. 17, the county Board of Legislators’ Budget and Appropriations subcommittee unanimously agreed to continue with the lawsuit.

Legislator Mary Jane Shimsky, a Democratic committee member, said she

expected the full board to vote on the matter at its next scheduled meeting Sept. 23, after press time. “Something does not look quite right here,” she said. “This is an issue of concern to the local governments and if I were a consumer and I booked rooms under these circumstances I would be concerned as well.”

Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino, a Republican who has often disagreed with the board majority, had recommended staying with the lawsuit as well.

The county does not have an estimate of what it might have been underpaid, said Donna Greene, a spokeswoman for the county executive. But, whether it’s a small amount or large amount, the county does not have to pay anything in terms of legal fees to remain part of the suit.

“We have nothing to lose by staying in this but everything to gain in terms of revenue,” Greene said. “Obviously, we’re looking to get what we’re entitled to.” The lawsuit does not mention an amount being sought from Nassau and other governments, but with as many as 60 expected to be part of the class action it could mean millions for revenue-hungry governments across the state.

One government that actively opted out is Rockland County.

Terry Grosselfinger, deputy to Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoeff, said

Rockland’s 3 percent tax went into effect January 2012 and during that time the county hasn’t seen a discrepancy.

“From what our finance people are telling us, our numbers are right on,” Grosselfinger said. “We don’t think the Expedias of the world are having that much of an impact (in Rockland).” Although staying in the lawsuit wouldn’t cost any money, an overburdened county staff and attorneys would have to spend time combing through records and sharing information as needed, he said.

The Nassau lawsuit is one of several dozen similar suits in the U.S. against online hotelbooking sites, the majority of which have been ruled in favor of the businesses or remain in litigation, according to a report from the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit tax research group. Anywhere from 5 to 25 percent of all hotel bookings come from travel site bookings, the report said.

The report did not take a favorable view on the attempts to tax the travel-booking companies. “Taxes on hotel rooms are generally little more than a way of shifting the tax burden to nonresidents (and nonvoters),” the report stated. “These city litigation efforts are attempting to extract yet more revenue from travelers, this time by taxing Internet-based travel facilitation services.”

The argument that travel-booking sites

are service providers and not hotel companies, has been a common argument as to why they shouldn’t be accountable for inclusion in the tax. New York City passed a law last decade to broaden the definition of who could be responsible to pay the hotel tax to include online companies and others involved in booking transactions, but a suit saw the law repealed in 2011 on state constitutional grounds.

In New York, governments wanting their own hotel tax must receive approval from the state Legislature. In Westchester, several cities, towns and villages charge a local 3 percent hotel tax in addition to the county’s 3 percent.

The village of Rye Brook, a community of roughly 10,000, receives 3 percent of its entire annual revenue from taxes from the Hilton Westchester (formerly The Rye Town Hilton) and Doral Arrowwood.

Rye City projects receiving $155,000 in hotel tax revenue in 2013. New Rochelle budgeted $300,000 in hotel tax revenue this year, after receiving an estimated $289,000 in 2012. White Plains expects to collect $1.05 million during the 2013-14 fiscal year, according to its adopted budget. Several other municipalities in Westchester asked the state to approve hotel taxes this year, but the state Senate did not take a vote on the matter before the end of its session.

Chappaqua biomed gets grant BioTheryX Inc., a biomedical company headquartered in Chappaqua, has been awarded a $289,518 grant from the National Institutes of Health to test in mice a potential treatment for pancreatic cancer as well as blood cancer and tumors.

The award was announced by U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, the senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. “Cuttingedge medical research in the lower Hudson Valley is not only one of our region’s economic engines, but is also helping to find important breakthroughs and treatments for

millions of Americans,” she said.

Lawrence Zaslow, president of BioTheryX, said the company’s management team is “quite excited about the potential of this compound.” The grant will allow BioTheryX to move on to the next phase of preclinical testing, he said.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 2010 provided BioTheryX with $4.5 million in equity financing to accelerate the development of new therapies for blood cancers with an initial focus on acute myelogenous leukemia.

$60K to grease federal grant gears The federal Economic Development Agency will assist the Hudson Valley Regional Council’s work on its annual comprehensive economic development strategic plan with a $60,000 grant.

The EDA award was announced by U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, Putnam County Democrat, and U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, Democrat from Harrison.

Formed in 1977, the Newburgh-based regional council works with municipalities and private organizations to assist with applications for federal funding and grants for economically distressed communities. The council is comprised of Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties and the cities of Kingston, Middletown,

Mount Vernon, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Yonkers.

“Through this strategic partnership with the Hudson Valley Regional Council, we can leverage private investments to create jobs and spur muchneeded economic growth in the Hudson Valley,” Maloney said in the announcement.

Lowey called the EDA funding “an important investment in our region’s economic future” that will aid the council’s partnership with public and private sector stakeholders “to create a longterm, full-throated plan for creating jobs and boosting our economy.”

SPECIAL Small Business REPORT Banking

Restaurant loans no longer on the menu Lenders shy away from eateries lacking collateral

BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

R

ave reviews and a steady business income no longer guarantee a bank loan for restaurant owners. What lenders now want to see on the table are real property assets that can be used as collateral in case a restaurant tanks.

Before the recession, a restaurateur could apply for bank loans and pool financial resources from a few committed business partners. But those wishing to open small restaurants today have found it increasingly difficult to secure loans.

Gerry Houlihan, a restaurant broker at Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate Services and principal of Houlihan Business Brokers in Bronxville, said the U.S. Small Business Administration is no longer lending to restaurant owners who don’t own the real estate where their businesses operate. It’s keeping the market “extremely soft,” he said.

SBA loans had been one of the more common methods of financing a restaurant.

But since the recession, eligibility rules for an SBA loan have become stricter and restaurant owners have fewer options for financing their businesses, Houlihan said.

“If you were going for an SBA loan, it was based on the income of the business that was being purchased, which required showing three to five years of tax returns, positive net income, and of course the furniture, fixtures and equipment had to be in good condition,” Houlihan said.

But now banks rarely give out loans to small restaurants because they usually lease space, said Leonard Carraturo, vice president relationship manager for business banking at Chase Manhattan Bank in White Plains.

Before the credit market collapse in 2008, Houlihan said about 60 to 70 percent of the more than 100 restaurant deals he closed involved buyers securing home equity loans, while 15 to 20 percent of the purchase deals were financed by SBA-backed loans. Today, he said none of his buyers are applying for bank loans through either process because banks are not willing to lend to restaurants without collateral.

An exception to this trend is Alvin & Friends, a New Rochelle restaurant serving

John Gazzola, co-owner and partner in Butterfield 8.

Caribbean and southern-style food, which opened in 2010 in a 1,200-square-foot space with 50 seats at 49 Lawton St. Alvin Clayton, a majority partner in Westchester Friends Management Group, said the partners had subleased their space from Villarina’s Pasta & Fine Foods Co. to avoid being “under a gun” and “choked with a high mortgage.”

The arrangement greatly reduced the cost of rent for Clayton and his investors. When Villarina’s moved out, Alvin & Friends investors pooled their resources to finance a larger space to accommodate their growing dining and private-party business.

This year, the six investors, including Clayton and his wife, Gwen, bought a 5,000-square-foot space at 14 Memorial Highway. With the purchase, the business qualified for an SBA loan.

“Because we’ve been open for two years, and we had been doing well, we can show the bank that in this economy, we were operating on our own without getting loans,” Clayton said.

Clayton added that it made sense to buy the property instead of leasing because the mortgage payment was equivalent to the

monthly rent at the restaurant’s old location. Buying the property gives them more security and eliminates the risk of a landlord pulling the rug out from under them, he said.

For other restaurant owners, two or three years of running a business doesn’t guarantee a bank loan.

John Gazzola, co-owner and partner in Butterfield 8, an American gastropub franchise, knows from experience that trying to get bank loans without real estate as collateral doesn’t “amount to much.” His company, Public House Investments, has opened Butterfield 8 restaurants in midtown Manhattan, Stamford and downtown White Plains. The company has also opened Lola’s Mexican Kitchen in White Plains and Stamford and Mulberry Street Italian Kitchen in White Plains.

Gazzola and his partners are financially sound with about 20 restaurants successfully operating in five states and the District of Columbia. When opening their Westchester eateries in 2012, they were able to finance their investment without seeking a bank lender.

“Over the years, we realized how difficult it is to get a loan,” Gazzola said. “We’re pretty

much self-funded. The time it takes for you to wait for bank approvals costs money.

When you have to wait for a loan to come through, you’re just sitting on your property paying additional rent and utility.”

Sometimes a restaurant owner can draw on an extended track record of success to obtain a bank loan.

Chris Vegara, executive chef and partner in Saint George, a French bistro opening this month in Hastings-on-Hudson, secured a loan with Chase Manhattan Bank using another property as collateral. Front-of-thehouse team member Jason Steinberg said this will be Vegara’s third restaurant, and he has built a relationship with Chase Manhattan through the years.

“Chris opened his first restaurant 10 years ago and we already knew a good person to be talking to about loans,” Steinberg said.

“We didn’t have to cold call.”

Even with a loan, most renovations to the former Buffet de la Gare space will be done with their own labor and paid for out of pocket.

“I’ll be reupholstering the chairs,” Steinberg said. “I taught myself to do that.

I’ve painted the interior walls myself.”

Small business marketing: An untold customer is an unsold customer by peter j. eLIopouLoS

A

s a small business owner or manager, you’ve nurtured an idea and built it into a successful enterprise.

Your work is your passion and you should take pride in telling your story.

Small businesses are big business in Westchester County. They provide us with health care, home repairs, food and other vital services. They’re also job engines.

Small businesses have historically created the majority of new U.S. jobs.

As a small business, you’re constantly working hard to improve the bottom line and it’s important to tell your story through marketing. Many small businesses often struggle with marketing concepts. Businesses in the U.S. ideally allocate a fraction (1 to 2.5 percent) of top line revenues to marketing budgets, but many fall short of even that fractional spend.

The key is making the most of your marketing dollars. To succeed as a small business owner, you need to tell your story well. To borrow a phrase from a National Geographic executive – if it’s untold, it’s

unsold.

No single marketing effort works all the time. The fact a particular marketing strategy wasn’t right for one business doesn’t mean it’s not ideally suited for another.

Sometimes it’s better to zig when your competitors zag. Look at the classic example of Kellogg overtaking C.W. Post in the cereal industry during the depression.

C.W. Post followed the simplistic pattern of cutting marketing spending during tough times.

W.K. Kellogg knew people would still eat during the depression, so he doubled his company’s marketing budget in 1929.

Sometimes when a brand disappears during tough times, customers and prospects can interpret that as a lack of staying power.

Consider the following five key marketing practices to help tell your story: • Start your planning with research.

Know your customers and get some feedback from them to form the basis of your marketing programs. Think about the phases of your marketing program as research, plan, execute and measure.

• Determine what marketing success looks like to you and define success your metrics. If you can’t measure it, you’ll never know if a particular marketing strategy actually worked. If your small business finds data hard to come by, consider looking to your local chamber of commerce or another business organization for assistance. Data is the lifeblood sustaining good marketing programs.

Constantly test your approaches by measuring your results.

PETER J. ELIOPOULOS

• Rotate your marketing tactics and alter your approach. While you want potential customers to recognize a consistency in your advertising as you build a brand identity, research suggests people will begin to tune out something they perceive as unchanging. Vary your cadence and approach, but don’t be arbitrary. Plan carefully.

• Small business is intensely personal.

A handwritten note thanking clients for the business and perhaps offering them a discount can go a long way toward building customer loyalty and in a social media age, it’s actually a way to differentiate yourself. Consider including a second offer to your customers immediately after they’ve made a purchase. For many small

businesses, 80 percent of their business comes from 20 percent of their customers.

• And remember, social media is not a panacea. While a great tool for grassroots efforts, social media is not a substitute for traditional marketing. Properly leveraged, social media can sometimes enhance and augment tried and true marketing approaches, such as connecting members of a community with shared interests on social media sites.

One other critical consideration is staying engaged in your local community.

This helps create word of mouth about your business and brand. Get involved in local business organizations – chamber of commerce, Rotary, Lion’s and other service clubs.

Support other small businesses and pick a local organization to support as well; it could be a baseball or soccer team, a theater or other local charity. Being involved helps build relationships and networking opportunities.

Give a student a job or an internship if there’s room for a young person within your business plan. Young people are now conditioned to share every detail of their lives with friends, so you can bet they’ll spread the word.

If cash-flow problems are restricting your business development, then talk to your banker. Every good business plan needs a good banker that acts as a strategic adviser in discussing cash-flow management and business-planning issues, including having some money to market and communicate.

There are a number of different ways small businesses can finance their operations, including several different lending programs through the U.S. Small Business Administration. Don’t fear the paperwork; a good banker can help walk you through the process.

The bottom line is to include a place for marketing and communications as part of your overall business plan. Remember, untold is unsold. peter J. eliopoulos is chief marketing officer of M&T Bank.

We loan this everyday.

It’s time for you to work with experienced and knowledgeable bankers.

We know that operating a small business is complex these days. That’s why we have local lenders making local decisions, so we can make the loan process as effortless as possible. No more automated phone lines in a different country, no more getting transferred from person to person. Imagine having one personal banker to handle your personal and business needs. One banker - one call, that’s service you can rely on.

Lenders back data center company’s growth

and, the Hawthorne-based provider of cloud and data center managed services, plans to continue its acquisitions and expansion strategy with an additional $200 million in debt financing the company recently secured from a syndicate of lenders.

The 14-year-old company in 2012 acquired Access Northeast Inc. and Data Based Systems International Inc., increasing its total service area to six data center facilities in four states—New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and

Connecticut.

Xand president and CEO Yatish Mishra in an announcement called the new financing “a resounding vote of confidence in Xand’s performance from our financial partners” that “further bolsters our company’s strategic plan of investment, expansion and acquisition to meet the dramatic surge in demand for services from our customers in the Northeast market.”

The Hawthorne company amended its existing financing arrangements with

a consortium of banking partners active in date center markets. The deal was arranged by TD Securities (USA) L.L.C. and GE Capital Markets Inc. “Xand’s ability to efficiently acquire and integrate multi-state data center and cloud operators in the demanding Northeast marketplace has been remarkable,” said Dan DeAlmeida, managing director at TD Securities.

Xand’s majority owner is ABRY Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm investing in the media, commu-

NEWSMAKERS plus awards and events NEW STATEN ISLAND SITE FOR ENTA

TWO DOCTORS JOIN WESTMED

ENT AND ALLERGY ASSOCIATES L.L.P® (ENTA) has embarked on an ambitious expansion of its Staten Island office.

In March 2014, the Staten Island office of ENTA will relocate to 1 Teleport Drive from its current address at 1887 Richmond Ave. The new, larger office will include 16 exam rooms, three of them for allergy. The in-house audiology suite will include two audiology booths, an advanced audiology testing room and a hearing aid dispensary. To enhance the range of available services, ENTA also announced that its four-bed sleep lab will be at the new 1 Teleport Drive location, ensuring that the practice maintains comprehensive care at all of its 40 facilities. “When the opportunity to relocate our Staten Island office arose, we leapt at the chance to provide more exam rooms, more technology and further space for growth,” said Dr. Wayne Eisman, ENTA president.

DR. GAIL M. DELASHO

This development –– which will allow ENTA, an advanced ear, nose, throat, allergy and audiology medical practice to better serve the communities of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Dumbo, Carroll Gardens, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Boerum Hills, –– is the result of a lease signed with the building’s landlord, Forest City Pierrepont Inc., as well as the primary tenant, Mount Sinai Hospital.

ENTA has an affiliation with Mount Sinai across the practice’s 40 offices throughout New York and New Jersey particularly for the screening and treatment of diseases of the head, neck and esophagus.

Members of the practice at the site include Ramez Habib, otolaryngologist; Sheldon Palgon, otolaryngologist; Christopher Song, otolaryngologist; Francisca Yao, otolaryngologist; Roheen Raithatha, fellowship trained rhinologist and skull base surgeon; Milo Vassallo, allergist and immunologist; and Sofya Shlafman, audiologist. Tahl Colen, fellowship trained neurootologist from the Bay Ridge East office, will see patients on a part-time basis.

ENTA is also recruiting a board-certified, fellowshiptrained pediatric otolaryngologist for this location to further bolster the range of services provided.

A PARTNERSHIP IS LAUNCHED

UNITED WAY AWARD WINNER

SOUND SHORE MEDICAL CENTER’S LUDINGTON ADULT DAY PROGRAM in New Rochelle is partnering with two, local not-for-profits facilitated by Mary Jo Jacobs, a candidate for Westchester County Legislature.

During an August visit to Ludington, Jacobs sought input from her potential constituents about their needs and concerns. In addition to their concerns about emergency preparedness for seniors living alone and transportation to food pantries, the registrants mentioned a renewed need for materials to continue one of their cherished activities, sewing. A group of registrants have several ongoing projects that include making hats for newborns in Sound Shore’s neonatal intensive care nursery as well as creating patchwork quilts for area homeless shelters. Without material these creative outlets would be lost. Jacobs put her networking skills to work and reached out to Operation Prom and Family Services of Westchester’s The Sharing Shelf.

With the donation of dresses from Noel D’Allacco of Operation Prom, eight skirts have already been created and donated back to the community. In addition, the seamstresses at Ludington will be helping Deborah Blatt the coordinator of The Sharing Shelf mend clothing.

NEW ROCHELLE DAY NURSERY is a 2013 Local Presence Program grant recipient of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam located at 336 Central Park Ave., White Plains. More than $2,000 was awarded following the recommendations of the Sound Shore United Way Local Presence Committee led by Angela Brock-Kyle and attorney Frederick P. Wiener.

These modest grants awarded by United Way’s Local Presence Program help fund community-based health and human service organizations that do not currently receive United Way funding. Organizations that receive funding share with United Way the fundamental belief that all people deserve a chance at a quality education, enough income to support a family, and opportunities for a healthy lifestyle.

United Way and New Rochelle Day Nursery are aligned in a desire to make sure young children have quality early childhood educational experiences to set the stage for learning.

“The donation that we received from United Way will help the New Rochelle Day Nursery with daily operating expenses, so that we can provide a safe, nurturing and educational environment for the children that we care for,” said Sabrina Delgado, executive director. “In these tough economic times, this grant will allow us to continue operating our nursery.”

The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-226-5697 or visit the Department's website at www.dfs.ny.gov.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to "save" your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. # 58974
