Lights! Camera! Action! Yonkers!

gainst a busy backdrop of carpenters sawing and hammering fresh-smelling lumber for a Hollywood film’s stage set, Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano recently announced his office’s relaunch of a more streamlined and producer-friendly Yonkers film office.

Renamed the Mayor’s Office of Film & Photography, the City Hall office will be directed by Spano assistant Jason Baker. At its new website, filmyonkers.com, it offers a one-stop shop for permits and city services for producers of film and

photography in Yonkers.

The stage crew at work during the mayor’s press conference is building cinematic pieces of the Brooklyn Bridge and New York City, the setting of “Winter’s Tale,” a Warner Bros. film based on the 1983 Mark Helprin novel of the same title and scheduled for release next year. It stars Russell Crowe, Colin Farrell, William Hurt and Will Smith.

Those stars should be out in Yonkers in November, when three months of shooting begins at Yonkers Stage, a 32,000-square-foot movie and sound stage in a former storage warehouse on Herrmann Place, an industrial street off

Tuckahoe Road a short distance west of the Sprain Brook Parkway.

No signs direct curious, stargazing visitors or announce the building’s service for the film industry, and film studios, producers and directors often prefer it that way, said Roger Paradiso. Paradiso is co-chairman of Greenwich Street Productions, which owns and operates Yonkers Stage.

A decade ago, said Spano, the city’s film office coordinated a thriving filmmaking industry in Yonkers. On the Hudson riverfront, Hudson River Stage offered a film producLights! page 6

ince former television executive Neil Braun became dean of Pace University’s Lubin School of Business in July 2010, the university’s fastest-growing department hasn’t been communications or finance or accounting.

It has been the performing arts – a feat that hardly escaped Braun, who served as president of the NBC Television Network and CEO of Viacom Entertainment prior to his arrival at Pace.

In an effort to tap into the growing interest in the arts and the wealth of resources in the New York City area, the Lubin School this fall introduced an Arts and Entertainment Management program to prepare students looking to get involved in the business side of the arts and entertainment fields.

“Most of the calls I get from people in my past are, ‘How do I get my kid into this business?’” Braun said. The key, he said, is showing a demonstrated interest in the industry – and having the degree and the internships to prove it.

“The studios don’t have training programs like the investment banks,” Braun said. “We’re not creating a career

Challenges abound for region’s housing market

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

T

he Hudson Valley region’s housing market faces challenges now and in coming decades brought on by an aging population, declining state and federal housing funds and an extreme affordability gap in rental housing, according to a recently released annual report from Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress.

A regional public policy, planning and advocacy organization based in Newburgh, Pattern for Progress found the ninecounty region’s housing market is “treading water” again this year in its report, “Housing the Hudson Valley: Unlocking the Opportunities.” The region’s housing market “has not shown significant signs of recovery” from the Great Recession, the survey found.

Among the pressing issues confronting the region’s public and private sectors, an aging population will increase demand for senior housing over the next 20 years. The region’s 65-and-over population has shown “tremendous growth,” the report noted, increasing nearly 23 percent from 1990 to 2010, when it made up nearly 14 percent of the valley’s total population. The senior population is projected to increase 43 percent from 2010 to 2030, when residents 65 and over will make up nearly 19 percent of the region’s total population, according to the Cornell University Program on Applied Demographics.

That demographic trend will slow “dramatically” by 2040, according to the report, with six of the region’s nine counties projected to show showing a decline in their senior populace.

The various housing options sought by aging baby boomers “will provide opportunities in construction, home improvement and a variety of service industries,” the report noted. Pattern for Progress officials cautioned, though, that if senior housing is built and empty school buildings adapted as residences for the elderly, “Codes and land use policy must remain flexible to meet the needs of other age cohorts as the demographics change again” after 2030.

The report said the lack of affordable rental and ownership housing impedes economic development in the region. Building affordable homes “creates a more competitive market and stronger opportunity for industry to locate or expand in the Hudson Valley.”

But corporations attracted to the Hudson Valley should be encouraged to pay employees at living wage rates to close the “extreme” affordability gap in rental housing.

Using a federal affordable rent standard that equates housing costs with not more than 30 percent of a renter’s gross income, a National Low Income Housing Coalition study cited in the Pattern report found that 62 percent of renters in both Westchester County and Rockland County are unable to afford a two-bedroom apartment at the federal fair market rent based on their average wage rate. In Putnam County, the study calculated that 61 percent of renters this year pay substantially more than 30 percent of their wages for housing, followed by 58 percent in Orange County and 57 percent in Dutchess County.

Hudson Valley communities and local housing cannot rely on government funding programs to close or narrow that affordability gap. Funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Program declined 22 percent from 2008 to 2012 in the region. Another critical and widely used HUD funding source, the HOME Investment Partnerships program, decreased its Hudson Valley funding by 46 percent over the same four-year period that began with the Great Recession.

As the Pattern for Progress report pointed out, those federal program funds are used by nonprofit housing agencies, often working in partnership with private developers, to leverage private investments “that result in an enormous boost to local economies.”

To foster a continuing discussion of the region’s housing issues and promote muchneeded housing development, Pattern for Progress this month is launching a Center for Housing Solutions. Founding partners

Lighthouse Landing clears legal shoals

The site of the former General Motors automotive assembly plant in Sleepy Hollow.

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

fter a state judge shot down a legal challenge by Sleepy Hollow’s municipal neighbor, village officials are waiting to hear from General Motors Corp. on what’s next for a planned redevelopment of GM’s long-vacated automotive assembly plant site on the Hudson riverfront.

Village officials in neighboring Tarrytown last year petitioned state Supreme Court to annul the Sleepy Hollow village board’s approval of a special permit and concept plan for Lighthouse Landing, an estimated $800 million mixed-use development on a 96-acre property off Beekman Avenue vacated by the Detroit automaker in 1996. The project,

scaled back from General Motors Co.’s initial proposal in 2003, calls for construction of 1,177 residential units, 35,000 square feet of office space, 135,000 square feet of retail, cinema and restaurant space and a 140-room hotel.

Tarrytown officials claimed their municipal neighbor did not take a “hard look” at the project’s impact on traffic and parking and did not thoroughly review alternative development proposals. But acting Supreme Court Justice James W. Hubert, citing in detail the project’s “lengthy and contentious” planning approval process, this month ruled that Sleepy Hollow officials had complied with requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act and rejected Tarrytown’s claims.

As the Business Journal went to press last Wednesday, Tarrytown Mayor Drew Fixell said the village had not decided whether to appeal the judge’s decision.

Sleepy Hollow Mayor Kenneth G. Wray in an announcement of the court decision said it “will allow the village to enter a new and exciting chapter in its history.” The project, he said, will create 1,000 jobs, build new infrastructure serving the entire village and bring numerous new businesses to the area.

“The next step is in General Motors’

court,” said Sleepy Hollow Village Administrator Anthony Giaccio. “We’re hoping that they announce a developer soon” who will present a site plan to the village Planning Board for speedy approval.

Giaccio said though GM agreed to select a developer by February this year, “The lawsuit kind of put everything on hold.”

In Detroit, General Motors spokeswoman Ryndee Carney said the company has not chosen a developer for the Sleepy Hollow project. “I don’t have a time frame for that right now,” she said.

She declined to disclose the number of developers who responded to GM’s request for proposals issued earlier this year. Giaccio said village officials were told by GM that it had “an optimistic response” to the RFP from developers.

Carney said General Motors continues to work with the state Department of Environmental Conservation on an environmental cleanup of the brownfield site, which has included the removal of chromium, industrial solvents, lead and fuel oil residue.

“There’s more cleanup work that remains to be done,” she said, including dredging contaminated sediment in the Hudson River.

She said GM hopes to soon receive required permits and begin the remaining remediation

work next month. The cleanup is expected to take four to five months to complete.

Once cleaned, the land will be capped by the developer during construction, she said.

At GM, “We’re pleased with the judge’s decision and we hope that the removal of this challenge will speed up the process of selecting a developer,” Carney said.

The recently decided court case was the latest in a series of lawsuits and financial challenges that for several years have ensnared the Lighthouse Landing project, which was revived after GM emerged from its bankruptcy reorganization in 2009.

GM’s former development partner, New Jersey-based Roseland Properties L.L.C., pulled out of the project in late 2007, calling it an opportunity that had passed. The project for the last five years was stalled by lawsuits by both General Motors and Tarrytown that challenged Sleepy Hollow’s environmental review findings for the project.

GM last year agreed to drop further legal action against the village when Sleepy Hollow trustees approved a plan that reduced the project’s housing component from GM’s proposed 1,250 units to 1,177 rental and ownership residences. The challenged reduction had been upheld by a state Supreme Court judge.

onsumer products manufacturer Combe Inc. applied for a permit to consolidate its research and development operations in White Plains, representing the first test of an Aug. 6 zoning amendment expanding the types of developments allowed in the city’s campus-office district.

Combe, whose hair and beauty product lines include Just for Men, Aqua Velva, Lectric Shave, Vagisil and Benzal, is seeking to build a $2.8 million, 4,600-squarefoot science research laboratory at its 1101 Westchester Ave. headquarters, according to documents filed with the White Plains Common Council.

Under the proposed renovations, which would only impact the building’s interior, Combe would relocate 150 research and development employees to White Plains from its Tarrytown facilities.

At its Sept. 4 meeting, the Common Council scheduled a public hearing on the Combe proposal to be held at the council’s Oct. 1 meeting.

In August, the council unanimously voted to amend the city’s comprehensive plan, allowing for alternate commercial, retail and residential developments to be incorporated into the office parks lining Westchester Avenue.

New “uses” allowed in the campus-office district, long known as the Platinum Mile, include multi-family dwellings, commercial indoor recreation facilities, theaters, swimming pools, churches, public and private schools, stores and cafes, and scientific research facilities.

Because Combe’s proposal involves one

of the latter types of developments, it is required to obtain a special use permit from the Common Council.

“This proposal would solidify Combe’s commitment to White Plains and Westchester County, as evidenced by the proposed approximately $2.8 million investment in the building,” wrote Seth M. Mandelbaum, partner of McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt L.L.P., in a letter to the City of White Plains Building Commissioner Damon Amadio.

Assisting Combe in its proposal are Planned Expansion Group and Spire Architecture P.L.L.C. Representatives of Combe did not respond to a request for comment.

The proposal calls for three lab spaces to be constructed on the first floor of the 68,580-square-foot complex, with renovations providing for the relocating of an existing cafeteria and the remodeling of existing office space.

The new facilities would include an overthe-counter and topical products formulation laboratory, which would be engaged in the small-scale prototype development and chemical and physical testing of products; a hair products development laboratory, which would be engaged in the development of hair dye and related grooming products; and a dedicated hair salon for the primary purpose of testing new hair color product formulations.

No additional parking would be needed, with the proposed renovations actually lowering the required number of parking spaces at the property.

The proposal notes that all lab space will be properly designed and ventilated in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards.

Skeptics question ethics watchdog’s independence

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

F

ollowing a tumultuous two-week stretch for the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, voters, elected officials and advocates for government accountability remained skeptical in the state’s ethics watchdog’s ability to function independently, despite Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s vote of confidence.

Formed last December as part of the Public Integrity Reform Act (PIRA), the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) replaced the ineffective Commission on Public Integrity, and is the first state agency to have ethics oversight over both the executive and legislative branches of state government.

The commission, whose meetings, activities and investigations are mostly kept secret from the public and government officials, was formed with independence over the various political stakeholders as its primary tenet.

That notion of independence has been tested in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment against state Assemblyman Vito Lopez and a subsequent settlement payment of $103,000 to two former Lopez staffers that was authorized by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, and signed off on by the state Attorney General’s and state Comptroller’s offices.

Ravi Batra, a New York City attorney and former JCOPE commissioner, set off a political firestorm when he resigned from the commission Sept. 7, accusing JCOPE of being politically driven and calling for a federal investigation into alleged information leaks.

Later that day, Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto released a statement, addressing media reports suggesting JCOPE was not investing the settlement payments stemming from the sexual harassment claims against Lopez.

“However, if such rumors are true, we believe it would be unconscionable for any legislative appointees to JCOPE to block such investigation,” Vlasto said in the statement, adding that Cuomo would appoint a Moreland Act Commission to investigate the matter if that were the case.

Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, said in a Sept. 7 statement that a refusal to investigate Silver’s role in the scandal would “confirm the worst fears which Common Cause New York and others have had, that the commission is set up in a way that encourages gridlock designed to protect powerful elected officials rather than guaranteeing effective independent oversight.”

JCOPE on Sept. 10 took the unprecedented step of acknowledging that an investigation was underway, without elaborating on the subject or subjects.

State Sen. Tony Avella, of Queens, blasted Silver and JCOPE last week, in a statement called on Silver to resign, becoming the first

Democratic legislator to make such remarks.

Avella told Crain’s earlier in the week that JCOPE has “neither the authority nor the backbone to go after the very people they are charged with investigating.”

Days after Quinnipiac University released a poll in which nearly eight in 10 New York voters said legislative corruption is a “very serious” or a “somewhat serious” problem, Cuomo addressed the controversy following a Sept. 19 appearance in Albany.

“The question becomes, when people make mistakes or bad things are done, what is the

response and what is the systemic response, and do you have a mechanism in the system to catch, to find it, to correct it,” Cuomo told reporters. “We’re much better off than we were, with JCOPE actually being in place.”

Under PIRA, JCOPE is charged with overseeing a wide swath of government-affiliated groups and individuals, including elected officials, executive and legislative branch officers and employees, lobbyists, lobbying clients and public benefit corporations – all of whom are required to file certain financial disclosures and other reports of their activi-

ties with JCOPE. Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said the results of the poll show voters are paying attention to what goes on in Albany.

“When you get something like 60 or 70 percent of the people answering, ‘We don’t know,’ that’s a pretty good indication people don’t know what’s going on,” Carroll said.

“But in this case people were quite specific – they don’t like it and they think the governor ought to be the guy in charge” of cutting down on legislative corruption.

tion venue in a ready-made-for-Hollywood 19th-century factory village vacated in the mid-1990s by BICC Cables Corp. The “Blue Cube,” a 10-story, 30,000-square-foot former industrial laboratory, was an oft-used sound stage there. Today only the Blue Cube still stands on the industrial site, which is included in the city’s plan for mixed-use redevelopment on the waterfront.

In 2002, the film office reported 123 filming days in Yonkers, Spano said. In 2011, filmmakers were active in the city only 35 days, he said.

Since taking office in January, Spano has attempted to reverse that decline, working with the Governor’s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, which administers the state’s 30 percent tax credit program for qualified film production costs incurred in the state. “We have 60 days so far this year of filming,” the mayor said.

As recommended by the state office, the city has eliminated some “egregious” fees for film companies, said Spano, including a $500 stage fee and a $500 fee to film on private property. The new website lists a standard $300 weekly fee for filming on public property, a $200 fee for reserved street parking, and $300 daily and $500 weekly fees for use of a city-owned parking lot.

The city is newly offering a production partnership program that will waive the standard permit fee if companies purchase goods and services from Yonkers vendors of equal or greater value.

Paradiso noted that Yonkers is within the 30-mile New York City studio zone that is

centered at Columbus Circle in Manhattan.

Working in Yonkers, film companies can employ union workers from New York City entertainment industry locals at the same rates paid in the city.

“We’re 20 minutes outside of Manhattan,” said Spano. “We’re just over the mountain.

There’s no reason for this industry not to come here.”

“We’re going to encourage it. We want them to come here,” he said.

For companies filming in more expensive Manhattan, “This is an easy place to get to,” said Paradiso.

Paradiso came to Yonkers in 1998 while scouting for inexpensive stage space with the director of “The Thomas Crown Affair.”

They found it in the vacant warehouse last occupied by a moving and storage company.

The building and an adjacent property subleased by Paradiso and business partner Mike Tadross are owned by Mark Herrmann, the former Yonkers auto dealer. Stop & Shop Supermarkets Corp. is the leaseholder, said Paradiso. “We have a very favorable lease,” he said.

“We thought it was a one-shot deal” that would end with production of the 1999 remake of the art-heist flick that starred Pierce Brosnan. “We just kept getting more” film companies reserving the space. “I can’t tell you we had any five-, 10-year plan,” said Paradiso.

“This was just serendipitous, in a way” Paradiso said two film production stages “could be easily supported” in Yonkers. “The problem is finding the right property at the right price.”

Spano said the Blue Cube, under new ownership led by Ron Shemesh, owner of Excelsior Packaging Group Inc. in Yonkers, might again be used by the film industry.

the program is we’re going to have both sets of students – the majors and those getting a minor – in the same classroom,” Lant said.

“These are people who work together in the arts and entertainment world – the business people and the creative folks – and we think this is a great way for folks to learn while they’re in school about how to forge these connections, about the skills that each of them brings to the table.”

The Lubin School has already announced a formidable lineup of guest lecturers for students enrolled in the Arts and Entertainment Management program, drawing from television, film and the performing arts.

Included among the speakers are ABC’s Katie Couric, director and Imagine Entertainment founder Ron Howard, Viacom Entertainment Group President Doug Herzog, American Ballet Theatre Executive Director Rachel Moore, New York City Center President and CEO Arlene Shuler and The Shubert Organization co-CEO and President Robert Wankel.

“The initial list of celebrity speakers we have is to both demonstrate the range of what

we’re going to be doing … and also to demonstrate that this is the caliber of people we expect to bring to campus,” Braun said.

The academic program will feature courses relating to all aspects of entertainment management, from overseeing the creative process to securing financial support and working with the various stakeholders to the role of technology in the arts and entertainment.

A major focal point for the department will be helping students to secure internships in what is one of the toughest fields to crack into, Lant said.

In the past, Pace has placed students into internships with the likes of NBC, CBS, ABC, HBO, MTV Networks, the Metropolitan Opera, Sony Music, the Roundabout Theater Company, and Sirius XM radio, among others.

Ultimately, Lant and Braun said the school hopes to foster a network of performers, entertainers and business associates within the arts and entertainment fields.

“We’re really interested in building a community of arts and entertainment practitioners,” Lant said. “This will create the network that will carry them into their careers.”

in arts and entertainment management, with those students eligible to earn a bachelor of business administration degree.

An arts and entertainment management minor is available to all students.

Both programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

“There are arts and entertainment management programs at other schools, and in New York, but very few have it within the business school,” Braun said. “The difference here is you’re getting an AACSB-accredited business education in the context of learning about an industry you’re really interested in.”

The program will be under the direction of Theresa K. Lant, who has taught in the Lubin School’s management department since 2009 and who serves as co-president of the board of directors of Little Village Playhouse, a nonprofit educational theater program in Pleasantville.

Lant said the program will bring together students from a range of different backgrounds and departments within the university.

in brief Xand names West Coast exec president

Doing Business in China What is your China strategy?

On Thursday, October 11th, HSBC and the Westchester County Business Journal invite you to an exclusive panel discussion with the theme of Doing Business in China: Selling into the Chinese Market.

More than 90% of the world’s top 500 companies are doing business in China.

Exports from the United States to China grew 542% during the period from 2000 to 2011.

So, if you’re not already doing business in China, you might be wondering why your’re not; and chances are, your competitors are already there.

There are unlimited opportunities for business exppansion; however, sucessfully selling into the Chinese market can be extremely challenging.

The Chinese consumer is unique in the world. As you consider selling into the Chinese market what challenges will you encounter? Should you be using sales arrangements with the Chinese Distributors? What options exist? How do I protect my proprietary assets? You will have to work really hard to earn their disposable income, but if you’re prepared and get the formula right, the efforts can be exceedingly rewarding.

Come hear from our panel of experts and learn how to launch your China strategy.

Hawthorne data center and managed services provider Xand appointed West Coast technology executive Yatish Mishra as president and chief technology officer.

Mishra’s appointment, effective Sept.

17, comes just over a month after Xand announced the acquisition of Bethlehem, Pa.based data center provider DBSi, more than doubling the company’s footprint.

Coupled with Xand’s March 2012 purchase of Access Northeast, based in Marlboro, Mass., the company has facilities in Hawthorne, Marlboro, Waterbury, Conn., and three in Pennsylvania, comprising more than 400,000 square feet of colocation, cloud, business continuity and managed services space.

Mishra joins Xand after 12 years as president and CEO of RagingWire, a California data center firm that he co-founded. Prior to that, he was corporate vice president of information technology at Photronics Inc., a public company in the semiconductor industry.

With Xand, Mishra will be responsible for the company’s business and technology strategies.

Brian St. Jean, principal of Boston-based private equity firm ABRY Partners L.L.C., which bought Xand in late 2011, called Mishra’s hiring a “tremendous victory for Xand.”

The closure of Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) would cause average annual electric expenditures in New York state to rise between $1.5 billion and $2.2 billion, according to a Sept. 18 report published by the Manhattan Institute, a New York City think tank.

The report, “The Economic Impacts of Closing and Replacing the Indian Point Energy Center,” concludes the higher electric costs would lead to economic output reductions estimated at $1.8 billion to $2.7 billion per year from 2016 to 2030.

That would result in a loss of jobs that “could range from 26,000 to 40,000 per year, depending on the alternative chosen to replace IPEC,” wrote Jonathan A. Lesser, the report’s author and president of economic and litigation consulting firm Continental Economics Inc. The report is just the latest in a string of studies and energy analyses featuring discussion of the repercussions of the Buchanan nuclear power plant’s closure. In the past month, The Business Council of Westchester, the New York Independent System Operator and the New York State Energy Planning Board have all released reports or draft reports detailing, among other items, the possible alternatives to Indian Point and how the plant’s closure could affect consumers.

The various reports are largely in agreement that alternatives would need to be in place in order for the state’s grid reliability to

not be impacted should Indian Point’s operating licenses not be renewed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Sports Authority to replace Syms in Elmsford The Sports Authority Inc. will open a new retail location at the site of the former Syms clothing store on Route 119 in Elmsford, town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner announced.

The building, located across from the Greenburgh Library, has been vacant since early 2012 after Secaucus, N.J.-based Syms Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last November.

Feiner said in a Sept. 15 email to constituents that Sports Authority went through the town approvals process last week and is “ready to go.”

Sports Authority currently has stores in White Plains, Yonkers and West Nyack.

In late August, a U.S. bankruptcy judge signed off on a confirmation order approving Syms’ and subsidiary Filene’s Basement L.L.C.’s Chapter 11 reorganization plan.

Syms had previously acquired Filene’s in a June 2009 bankruptcy auction.

Westchester Bank tops $300m in assets The Westchester Bank, which in June marked its fourth anniversary, recently announced it had topped $300 million in total assets as of Sept. 12.

With more than 3,500 clients, the Yonkers bank is scheduled to open its third branch, located at 994 Broadway in Thornwood, in October.

The Westchester Bank has its headquarters at 2001 Central Park Ave. in Yonkers, in addition to a White Plains branch at 464 Mamaroneck Ave. “The underpinning of our success is being proactive with our clients,” said John M. Tolomer, The Westchester Bank president and CEO, in a prepared statement.

Microsoft coming to The Westchester Microsoft Corp. will open its first two New York state retail outlets Sept. 28 at The Westchester in White Plains and on Long Island.

At The Westchester, grand opening ceremonies are scheduled to include a performance by rock musician Lenny Kravitz.

The store will sell a range of Microsoft products, including Windows 7 PCs, Windows smartphones, Kinect for Xbox 360, and various software brands, in addition to offering services such as personal training, technical support and performance tune-ups.

To date, Microsoft has stores in 14 states and Canada, with several new locations to open in the coming weeks.

Environmentalists back school’s greens-to-green plan

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

T

he French-American School of New York (FASNY) has the “strong support” of environmental leaders and educators united behind its proposal to build a school campus on the site of a former country club and make an unused golf course a model for “undevelopment” and privately funded environmental conservation in White Plains.

FASNY proposes to consolidate its three existing Westchester schools at the former Ridgeway Country Club at 400 Ridgeway Ave. and turn the private golf course into the Greens to Green Conservancy, an 84-acre nature preserve that will be open to the public.

The proposal will be the subject of a public hearing Wednesday night, when the White Plains Common Council begins its review of FASNY’s draft environmental impact statement for the project.

The project has been strongly opposed by neighboring homeowners in the Gedney Association who claim the school’s taxexempt status will deprive the city of property tax and sales tax revenue and the development will further burden taxpayers with added infrastructure costs. Opponents claim building a 1,200-student school campus would violate the city’s comprehensive plan and create unmanageable traffic congestion in the historic Gedney Farms neighborhood.

In a Sept. 12 letter to Mayor Thomas M. Roach and the Common Council, 16 environmental leaders said the private school and the plan to maintain a permanent, publicly accessible nature preserve, at no cost to the city, on two-thirds of the property “will deliver significant social, environmental, educational and economic benefits to White Plains and its citizens.”

The Greens to Green Conservancy would be the largest privately owned conservation easement in lower and central Westchester County and the first conservation easement in White Plains, according to FASNY officials.

At a FASNY-hosted press conference announcing the united support from environmentalists, Kevin Carter, executive director of Teatown Lake Reservation in Yorktown, said, “We see this as a model for how we can take developed land and turn it back into ecologically functioning systems.”

Katie Ginsberg, executive director of

the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation in Chappaqua, said FASNY’s planned “undevelopment” of the chemically fertilized and maintained golf course acreage provides a “tremendous” learning opportunity. “We’re rarely provided an opportunity for kids to see what happens when you take care of land,” she said.

FASNY spokesman Geoffrey Thompson noted the FASNY project also has the support of the county’s two largest business groups, The Business Council of Westchester and the Westchester County Association.

He said the support of a private development from so many environmental groups “is at least unusual, if not unprecedented.”

Thoughts of the day: Get clear as to what “marketing” means, in terms of activities.

Find out who in your company can help you grow the business. Offload things that you do, so you can focus on marketing. Understand the importance of growth to the future of your business.

Taking phone calls and doing estimates are usually categorized under sales activities.

Building awareness is a marketing activity.

Marketing makes it easier to open doors – which is where things cross over from marketing to sales.

Build a list of fast-acting marketing activities that are likely to take minimal effort and produce high results: • Call current customers to ensure they’re happy and then ask for the names of three referrals to whom they can introduce you • Pull a list of target suspects based on demographics of your best customers, and build a repetitive mail, call, or email campaign to break through to them • Review lost proposals and prospects from the last two years and reach out to them to see if they’re satisfied with the solutions they bought • Review your ads and website to make sure that all offers are compelling and getting the conversion you expected • Buy up product lines – add things that your current customers and prospects want to buy • Hold a get-together for clients and prospects to get them in a room so prospects can hear what a great job you’re doing Employees don’t all need to be on the front line talking to potential customers. Save that activity for people who are experienced working with prospects, or people who want to get trained on how to work on new business opportunities. Do talk with everyone in

the company about the importance of getting more customers, and their role in helping make that happen.

Make a list of all of the employees in your company. Next to each name, write down one or more things that each could do to contribute to marketing. It could be anything from accurately answering questions about products or services, to drawing out ideas for advertisements and mailings, to making product samples.

Clear your calendar. If growth is the company’s top priority, which it should be, then a major portion of your time must be dedicated to overseeing, facilitating and participating in marketing activities. Delegate, delegate, delegate.

Don’t get lost spending too much time running around in the field from one account to the next. That may be the least productive thing you can do. Instead, try to anchor yourself in the office for a portion of each week.

That’s when you can step back and look at, think through, and work on how marketing and sales are doing and what has to change.

Make sure everyone in the company understands that if the business stays flat, the business is actually declining. Inflation causes the cost of overhead to go up, while you’re trying to pay for things with the same old client orders. Don’t let revenue or profits decline year-over-year because marketing can’t fuel growth.

If growth comes in at a slow, steady pace of 5 to 10 percent, you’re also taking a lot of risk.

Any sudden loss of clients or need to weed out problem ones, and you’re likely to end up with slow growth, no growth or negative growth.

It’s only once revenue growth is in the range of 10 to 15 percent net that the company can confidently grow faster than any increase in losses or expenses.

Language no longer barrier in housing hunt

Elmsford company leads high-tech medical innovation

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

H

ypres Inc., an Elmsford-based developer of digital superconductor electronics, has been awarded a $145,821 federal grant to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems technology in medical care.

The award was made by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through its Small Business Innovation Research program. It was announced by U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, and Rep. Nita Lowey, D-18th Dist.

The Elmsford company will use the funding to develop a retrofit module for MRI systems using its superconductor

digital circuits to provide higher resolutions and faster scan times than currently possible with traditional MRI electronics.

“We’re excited to take a leading role in the development of a new generation of high-performance MRI systems,” Hypres CEO Richard Hitt said in a press release.

“The unparalleled speed of our digital superconductor circuits and sensitivity of our sensors lets us tackle the most demanding challenges with innovative, high performance solutions previously not thought possible. The MRI is one of the most important diagnostic tools in medicine and improvements are constantly being developed around the world.”

The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR) has launched a website search tool that links prospective clients in real estate deals with Realtors who speak their native languages.

The “We Speak Your Language” tool at hgar.com was the idea of Eydie Lopez and Kevin O’Shea of HGAR’s Fair Housing & Cultural Diversity Committee. Persons looking to buy or sell a home or lease a residence can choose from 187 languages in their search.

“Our focus this year was to reach out to our culturally diverse population and help them find real estate agents who can deal

with them in the language they are most comfortable speaking,” Lopez said in a press release. The service and languages database was especially needed since HGAR’s Multiple Listing Service has expanded to include eight counties stretching from the polyglot Bronx to Ulster and Sullivan Counties in the mid-Hudson Valley.

The new tool also makes the HGAR website more user-friendly for persons visiting it from foreign countries and for U.S. residents for whom English is not their primary language.

The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors represents more than 9,000 real estate professionals in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties.

onghaul Farm in Garrison, Digger’s East Farmstand in Brewster and Samba Café & Inn in Jeffersonville are among those set to participate in the second annual Taste Our Local Harvest.

The event, to be held Oct. 9 at Westchester Country Club in Rye, is a tasting event, networking evening and benefit designed to also strengthen the relationships and collaborations between local farms and the culinary community.

The region’s seasonal bounty will be in the spotlight, with a number of area farmers and chefs teaming up to prepare dishes based on the season’s best harvest, livestock and poultry.

In addition, vendors of local spirits, beers, breads, cheeses and other assorted farm products will be on hand.

The event is sponsored by the Food Bank For Westchester, Slow Food Metro North and the Chef Association of Westchester & Lower Connecticut. Net proceeds will have a direct impact on the works of these nonprofit organizations that share a mission of building the value of local agriculture through education, of distributing fresh seasonal food to the diverse members of the community and to promoting wellness through community and school-based food/garden projects.

The event will run from 6 to 9 p.m.

Tickets are $60.

Content marketing on Facebook

W

ith its huge following, Facebook continues to be the primary platform for many successful strategic marketing campaigns. When used effectively, the social media site can greatly help any business build a following and attract significant attention. Content marketing plays a critical part in this success.

There are several specific and general rules that content marketing must follow. Most importantly, social media is designed to be social.

Many people try too hard to sell their product or service and in the process quickly turn people off, paying the high price of lost potential business. Conversely, other people are so afraid of antagonizing their network with their postings that they very rarely post effective marketing content. This latter situation is a particularly common problem on Facebook.

People are looking to be entertained. It’s a key component of webinars, presentations and social media. When people present a webinar, one reason why they vary their tonality and emphasize their enthusiasm is to relay this impression to their audience. This is one of the major differences between presenting online and in person.

If your content is too technical, people will not read it. They don’t want to know the details, just the gist of your post. That’s one of the primary reasons why the title of your post is so important. It can generate enormous interest if it is truly exciting or useful. Even if a small subset of your audience is interested in the technical aspect, you are much better off referring them to a technical article on your blog or website than attempting to post it on Facebook.

I consider 2012 to be the year of content management as its power has permeated throughout the social media world. Both the quality and quantity of posts can greatly affect the success (or failure) of branding, sales and strategic marketing campaigns.

Since people are increasingly seeking information online that they find useful or entertaining, it’s particularly relevant.

Unfortunately, they are also exhibiting a marked decrease in patience and only occasionally closely read past the title and first few paragraphs of an article. Many astute writers are therefore putting their most important information towards the top of the article or highlighting its presence.

The requirement to include pictures on many platforms is also becoming increasingly commonplace. Technorati, a highly popular blogosphere website, will not accept any article without an image. Facebook’s edg-

erank (which determines what goes in your newsfeed) is quite sensitive to the posting of images and videos, which in turn elicit likes and comments.

According to a recent study by Simply Measured, “Videos are shared 1,200 percent more than links and text posts combined and photos are liked 200 percent more than text updates.” More traffic is now referred from Pinterest than LinkedIn, Twitter, StumbleUpon and Google+ combined.

My prediction is that by 2014, the majority of social media content will be visual. That’s not to say that there won’t continue to be a voluminous amount of text that will be published, but the real emphasis and most effective traffic will be visual. There will also be many relatively new sites like Instagram and Pinterest along with an increasing number of 30- and 15-second video sites like Shoutz.

In July, Instagram reported that it had 80 million users. It is now one of the fastestgrowing online networks and 40 of the top 100 brands are currently using its service.

This is why Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion earlier this year and why Facebook stock will likely be a good short-to-long-term investment, particularly given its currently depressed price.

Promoting your brand or fan page on Facebook can easily be aided by what you post on your wall. While your friends and subscribers won’t be appreciative if you constantly try to drive them to your blog or fan page, an occasional posting for some relevant and business-related article or content (say one in nine postings depending on your frequency of posting) is a reasonable number.

It also helps if you post at the same time every day and create and adhere to an editorial calendar. If the title or image of your post is appealing, your audience might just follow the link or share it with their social network.

One final aspect concerning content marketing is the need to constantly monitor the reaction and response from your audience.

It is usually fairly obvious to see what elicits a response and what is ignored. By adjusting your postings accordingly, you can significantly increase their reach and effectiveness.

The biggest downside is the amount of time content management requires. Like most of social media, there is a sizeable time commitment. Some social media companies like mine will “ghost” articles and postings in your name and significantly improve your time management.

Daniele Hager, soprano and founder of We Sing for the World.

Opera finds a cause and local home

BY ZOË ZELLERS zzellers@westfairinc.com

I

nspired to offer aid to victims of the March 2011 Japanese tsunami, Daniele Hager decided to use her voice.

The classically trained 29-year-old opera singer gathered a group of friends – mostly fellow alumni from Rye Country Day School (RCDS) – and teamed up with AmeriCares to put on a concert, “Music for Japan,” at the Rye Arts Center June 4 of last year.

In a time when national arts funding continues to dip and major opera companies, including New York City Opera struggle to stay afloat, Hager’s successful event creatively raised funds for Japan. The concert also offered the versatile singer and her peers a new platform to showcase their art in a meaningful manner.

“I had been doing concerts on my own and asking for suggested donations – and then I realized that people were coming to these concerts and so I thought, why not do something for a charity?” Hager says.

Soon after, Hager officially established the Westchester County-based nonprofit organization We Sing for the World, which identifies global causes to support with donations from opera, pop-rock and musical theater concerts held in Westchester and Manhattan. Recently, the organization finally found a home venue at the 410-seat theater at the White Plains Performing Arts Center.

“This is how it all happened,” she starts. “I contacted Jeremy Quinn, the production manager at the White Plains Performing Arts Center, as a recommendation from my younger brother who worked with him when he was doing youth theater.”

16 September 24, 2012 • WCBJ • HVBiz

“So in my email’s subject line, I wrote ‘I’m Robi Hager’s sister,’” she says. “Honestly, I’ve gotten a lot of great things by saying that.”

Hager explained to Quinn that We Sing for the World was seeking a venue for a spring concert focused on raising donations for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance, which aims to find a cure for a rare neurological disease.

“Right away he responded and said he would love to host the event and they were incredible. Everyone donated so much time. About 50 to 60 people attended,” she says.

“After the concert Jeremy came up to me and said, ‘We would love to be the home for We Sing for the World,’ and I was basically about to burst into tears because I had been trying so hard and planning this concert for about eight months, trying to find a venue. I looked everywhere and then when I came to see this theater I thought, ‘Wow, this is actually such an incredible theater,’ Hager says.

Hager’s own entry into the music world started at home. Her father, John, is an American who lived in Mexico for 20 years working as a professional trombone player. John and his wife, Consuelo, raised their family in Mexico City before returning to the United States.

After “absolutely” experiencing major culture shock, Hager eased into the Northeast pace and graduated from RCDS in 2002. She received her B.A. in voice performance at SUNY Purchase and her M.A. from Florida State University. Today her father is the band director at RCDS and her mother works in the alumni and development office, while Hager teaches her own vocal students down the street in Rye. Hager teaches when she’s not busy researching chari-

table causes and organizing and promoting the next concert, “We Sing for Wishes,” which will be held Dec. 10 to benefit Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley. She also studies in Westchester with voice teacher Sherry Overholt, while auditioning and performing operatic roles as far away as Costa Rica.

“I happen to be a soprano – I’m one in a million,” says Hager, who grew frustrated with the industry’s typecasting and fixation on the next “big voice.”

“The last opera I went to see had incredible voices but it didn’t do anything for me because of the acting. For me, being an opera singer, yes, you do have to emote with your voice but you’re a visual artist too,” she reflects.

As a result, Hager was drawn back to her musical theater roots and this summer at New York’s Fringe Festival, she performed in “the hilarious new musical ‘The Hills Are Alive!’” which she describes as “a dark comedy on what happens after ‘The Sound of Music.’”

Critic Matthew Murray named Hager “the brightest standout” while critic Rob Lester wrote, “You won’t forget the actress’ name.”

We Sing for the World is “all about reaching out to people,” she says, adding “so now that we have a home, it really makes such a difference.”

She says, “I want to sing and I want to perform, not because it’s a business but because I love it and I know I can affect people.”

SPECIAL Economic REPORT development

Regional council ready for round two

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

W

ith lessons learned from its inaugural year, the MidHudson Regional Economic Development Council this month sent to Albany a more streamlined strategy for jobs creation and industry growth in its sevencounty region and 22 priority projects for which it will compete for state capital funding with nine other regional councils.

The council’s choice of priority projects is more than seven times the number sent to Albany by the council in 2011, when Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a regional approach to economic development strategy and jobs creation and announced an initial $200 million in state funding for which 10 regions and their newly formed planning councils competed.

Only one of the mid-Hudson region’s three priority projects was awarded funding last year, when the council’s strategic plan was not among judges’ choices as one of the state’s four best plans. New York Medical College in Valhalla was awarded a $4 million grant to aid in the development of a biotechnology business incubator on its Grasslands campus.

In this second round of competition, the Mid-Hudson region will compete with five other regional runners-up in 2011 for two awards of up to $25 million in capital funds. The region also could receive a share of an additional $25 million to be divided among the 10 regions and up to $10 million in Excelsior tax credits for jobs-creating employers in the region.

Council nears decision on armory proposals

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

T

he New Rochelle City Council is moving closer to a decision on the future of the defunct naval armory on East Main Street, with one official suggesting the council could make a determination on the two proposals by the end of October.

The armory site, which has been largely unused since being bought by the city in 1997 for $1, was previously thought to be part of an agreement between the city and developer Forest City Ratner Cos., under which Forest City proposed to build 700 residential units and 100,000 square feet of retail space on 20 acres overlooking Echo Bay. However, that proposal was scaled back

by Forest City in May due to economic conditions, at which point the City Council issued a request for proposals for the adaptive reuse of the 36,575-square-foot armory.

Officials are deciding between a $26 million proposal to turn the armory into an indoor open market with restaurants and food vendors and a $10.5 million plan to transform the complex into a performing arts center and community center for veterans.

Representatives of the group Good Profit, which is responsible for the first proposal, and of the Save Our Armory Committee and the United Veterans Memorial and Patriotic Association, which together are behind the Veterans Memorial Center for the Performing Arts proposal, presented their respective plans to the City Council Aug. 24.

The council was scheduled to discuss the matter in a public forum at its Sept. 19 meeting and could decide on which proposal to move forward with by the end of next month, said New Rochelle Commissioner of Development Michael W. Freimuth.

“The goal is to get a decision or a recommendation by the end of October,” Freimuth said.

He said that upon making a decision, the council would likely enter into a memorandum of understanding with the chosen party, which would give both the city and the developer a set time frame to refine the proposal and to secure funding commitments.

Freimuth said the council’s decision will likely hinge on the feasibility of each group’s plan to finance capital improvements to the site and continuing operations after the armory is reopened.

“The fundamentals of their market pro formas are different, and that along with the ability to raise the cash needed to renovate the building are frankly the two most critical questions confronting the council,” he said.

Both proposals include facilities for larger events, for restaurant services and for veterans’ services, but the similarities end there.

Ronald Tocci, a former state assemblyman and one of the leaders behind the Veterans Memorial Center proposal, said the two groups collaborating on the proposal have been trying for 15 years to find a permanent use for the armory.

“I feel good and I feel very, very proud that the people have stuck with it, have gotten us to this point,” Tocci said, adding that the building “would not be standing right now” if not for their combined efforts. “So now it’s a question of selling it to a majority of the council.”

The Veterans Memorial Center proposal calls for the armory to be renovated into a theater and performing arts complex, with a 6,000-square-foot restaurant and a 150-space underground parking garage.

Also included would be a space for a veterans’ community center and for a veterans’ memorial.

The project, estimated at $10.55 million, would be financed through donations from individuals and organizations, according to the proposal.

The group estimates annual revenues, which would be generated from theater productions and concerts, a restaurant, and from an open market and exhibit space, would range from $675,000 to $3.25 million.

Tocci said a performing arts center would fill a void in southern Westchester, adding that it would “hopefully act as a catalyst to spur other kinds of economic activity in the area.”

The Veterans Memorial Center proposal estimates the project would create 135 fulland part-time jobs once operational.

The Good Profit proposal includes space for multiple restaurants, a market hall for food vendors, a food distribution space that could serve as a farmers market, space for a bike-sharing program, an exhibition hall for events, and a space for a veterans’ community center, in addition to a parking venue.

The $26 million proposal would be financed through a series of donations and investments, Good Profit founder Michael Blakeney said.

Blakeney said Good Profit is backed financially by the Open Space Institute, based in New York City.

The Good Profit proposal calls for a “hybrid” model, by which some functions of the site would be managed by a for-profit entity and others would be run by a nonprofit entity.

“We’re looking to be – especially in these economic times – as innovative with the way we make something happen in terms of financing as we can,” said Blakeney, a Bedford resident, who founded Good Profit in 2011.

The proposal estimates annual revenues of $1.6 million, derived primarily from rent paid by restaurant tenants and food vendors, and projects the facility would employ roughly 300 full- and part-time workers.

Regional groups announce annual award recipients

T

wo regional economic development advocates recently announced the recipients of their respective annual leadership awards.

At its 2012 Fall Leadership Dinner and APEX Awards presentation, the Westchester County Association will honor the late Richard D. Schaab Sr. with its Legacy Award.

Schaab, an Ossining resident and longtime vice president of the WCA, died in April at age 71.

WCA President William Mooney has also said the organization would dedicate a portion of its annual dinner, which will be held Nov. 1 at the Hilton Westchester in Rye Brook, to the late Sy J. Schulman.

Schulman, who died Sept. 1 from pancreatic cancer at age 86, served as president of the WCA for nearly 20 years, worked as a planner on the local, county and state levels, and was elected mayor of White Plains in 1993, where he served until 1997.

Other WCA honorees include Ron Belmont, mayor and supervisor of the town of Harrison, who is receiving the Alfred B. DelBello Visionary Award; Joel Seligman, president and CEO of Northern Westchester Hospital, who is receiving the APEX Award for Advocacy; Marialisa Zywotchenko, owner and president of Cyrus Contracting Corp., who is receiving the APEX Award for Young Professionals/Small Business; and Judith Spitz, chief information officer and senior vice president of Verizon, who is receiving the Purchase College Award for Entrepreneurial Science.

A

Long Island developer’s plans for a Costco Wholesale Club retail store and filling station off the Taconic Parkway cleared another municipal hurdle in Yorktown this month after surmounting earlier this year a legal challenge from a partner in the sale of the development site.

The Yorktown Planning Board recently accepted a draft environmental impact statement for the approximately $50 million project proposed by Retail Store Construction Co., an affiliate of Breslin Realty Development Corp. in Garden City. A public hearing on the environmental impact report and developer’s site plan will be held at the planning board’s Oct. 15 meeting.

Developer Wilbur Breslin, president and CEO of the Long Island company, has said construction of the approximately 152,000-square-foot Costco store will take one year. His company will do site preparation work and Costco will build the retail warehouse. The development will include a 12-pump gas station for Costco club members and 610 on-site parking spaces.

The project will be built on a nearly 19-acre parcel near the intersection of Crompond Road and the Taconic Parkway. The property includes the nearly 14-acre site of the former Yorktown Country Inn, an abandoned, decaying eyesore to passing motorists on the Taconic.

In 2006, fuel industry businessmen Majed “Mitch” Nesheiwat and Musa “Sammy” Eljamal, partners in Best Rent Properties L.L.C., paid $3.8 million for the motel property with plans to flip it to a developer.

After an Ohio shopping-center developer dropped its tentative plans for the site in the recession, the Best Rent partners in 2009 signed a $6 million purchase agreement with Breslin.

The project stalled in 2010 when Eljamal, a Thornwood-based fuels distributor and an owner and operator of several gas stations in the area, refused to close on the sale and filed a lawsuit in state Supreme Court seeking to void the contract with Breslin. Eljamal claimed he was duped into signing the contract and had been told the developer planned to bring a Lowe’s home improvement store to Yorktown.

Eljamal’s partner, Nesheiwat, countersued and sought a court order forcing his partner to sign over the property title and stop interfering with the project. Nesheiwat claimed his partner’s refusal to complete the deal was a ploy to keep a lower-priced gas-station competitor from threatening his and his family’s virtual monopoly on gasoline sales in the area.

Eljamal’s efforts to kill the Costco project began soon after he and partners in a newly formed fuel holdings company in Thornwood made a $43.3 million acquisition of Shell service stations in Westchester, New York City and on Long Island.

The competing claims led the Yorktown Planning Board, the lead review agency for the project, to halt the Costco application process in April 2011 until the board had evidence of developer Breslin’s “undisputed authority” to proceed.

In March, a state judge cleared a legal path for the project when he ruled that Eljamal’s attempt to block the sale was based “solely on his personal business interest.” Eljamal was ordered to sign sale documents and do what was needed to close the deal.

While his triumphant business partner hailed the judge’s decision, Breslin said the court intervention was not needed, as Eljamal already had sent a letter to Yorktown officials rescinding his objection to the Costco project.

According to Westchester County land records, the sale of the property still has not been completed.

Developer unveils plan for Legionaries property

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

A

New Jersey developer recently unveiled a plan to build a condominium, hotel and spa complex at the 97-acre Legionaries of Christ site in New Castle, but a town official cautioned the plan is still “very much preliminary.”

Stephen Oder, principal of Montclair, N.J.-based Soder Real Estate Equities L.L.C., presented a conceptual plan for the renovation of the property’s sprawling 45,615-square-foot manor home to accommodate more than 60 condos, a 30-room hotel and a 20,000-square-foot spa.

The plans were detailed at a Sept. 4 joint meeting of the New Castle Town Board and Planning Board, said New Castle Planning Commissioner Sabrina Charney Hull, noting that the proposal is in the very early stages.

“We had a potential developer come in and present a plan that showed a roughly 64-unit condominium complex and a 30-bed hotel, and spa,” Hull said. “It’s still very much in concept form.”

Oder could not be reached for comment.

The property, located at 773 Armonk Road near the border between the towns of New Castle and North Castle, was placed on the market in October 2011 by Legion of Christ Inc., making it the second major Westchester County property to be put up for sale by the conservative Roman Catholic order since the beginning of 2011.

Legionaries of Christ previously planned to construct a university at its 264-acre site in Thornwood, which it bought from IBM Corp. in 1996 for $33.5 million, and to construct a seminary at its New Castle site, which it bought for $3.12 million from the Unification Church in 1994.

Both plans fizzled, however, with observers attributing the order’s efforts to sell both of its Westchester campuses to economic

struggles resulting from a widely documented sexual abuse scandal surrounding Legionaries founder Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, who died in 2008.

The site is zoned for single-family residences on two-acre lots, public schools, and municipal use by the town of New Castle, with alternative uses requiring additional town approvals.

Hull said that in order for a lead agency to be determined and for the town to determine whether any permits or approvals would be necessary, should Soder Real Estate purchase the property, the developer would need to submit additional information to the town.

“We’re still very much preliminary,” Hull said. “The next step is for the developer to submit information to us so we could make a zoning determination on the project

Academy marks 15 years Doug and Patricia Cook were joined by local officials for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Chosun Taekwondo Academy in downtown Warwick.

The academy was founded in 1997 by Cook, a sixthdegree black belt and senior student of martial arts legend Grandmaster Richard Chun.

Chosun Taekwondo Academy offers a pure-form taekwondo curriculum as it remains a holistically oriented martial arts and hatha yoga institute based on traditional Asian principles and authentic Korean martial arts doctrine.

Cook, who has authored several books on taekwondo, explained that “Chosun,” an ancient name for Korea, is defined as, “Land of the morning calm.”

A hatha yoga program, overseen and taught by Patty Cook and Robin Ivey, features a variety of classes.

“Patty and I feel fortunate beyond measure to live and work in the village of Warwick and contribute to this enchanting community,” Cook said.

The artisan bakery, which opened about six months ago, is the creation of Vreeland, a resident of Warwick, who teamed up with her sister Maria of Pine Island to bring what they describe as delicious, high-quality, nopreservatives sweet baked goods to the area.

Vreeland has been a lover of baking all of her life and has been professionally baking out of her home for more than seven years.

She is not only a baker, but she is also a commission artist. And, as a result, her custom edible works of art baked goods are always in demand for special occasions such as bridal or baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and the like. Customers can choose the theme, colors, lettering, icing and even the number of servings for a special occasion and the cake will be creatively customized for that one event. If it’s about a house warming, for example, the cake could feature a three-dimensional replica of that particular house.

Malara also has an artistic background and earned a fine arts degree from New York University.

In addition to custom cakes, the shop features cookies, pastries and cupcakes.

“What better place to have a bakery than in a town called ‘Sugar Loaf,’” Malara said. “We have always loved it here and felt it was a perfect fit with the rest of the talented artists.”

Laura’s Sweets Specialty Bake Shoppe has indoor and outdoor seating for relaxing and enjoying a cappuccino, flavored or iced coffee along with your favorite treat.

Kurt Seligmann exhibition opens An exhibition featuring the Surrealist artist and Orange County resident Kurt Seligmann opened Sept. 6 at the Seligmann Center for the Arts in Sugar Loaf. The exhibit, titled “Seligmann at Home,” will explore the artist’s life in Sugar Loaf during the 1940s and 1950s.

Seligmann, who was Swiss born and Jewish, and his wife, Arlette, immigrated to New York just prior to World War II. While Seligmann taught at Brooklyn College and The New School and his art was represented in Manhattan, he and Arlette chose a more rural lifestyle and settled in Sugar Loaf. The couple lived there until their deaths – he in 1962 by a self-inflicted gunshot wound and she in 1992 of natural causes.

At the outbreak of the war, the Seligmanns were among those that played an instrumental role in helping other Surrealist artists escape from Europe and find shelter in the U.S., including Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Kay Sage, Marcel Duchamp, and Andre Breton. During the 1940s and ’50s, the Seligmanns hosted these artists at their farm homestead in Sugar Loaf, where Seligmann built his art studios.

Family photographs, archival materials, and Seligmann’s artwork have been organized in the exhibit to highlight the Seligmanns’ life on the 55-acre property and the events that led to their coming to Sugar Loaf. An introduction to Surrealism, an expression of the subconscious, and the artists that served as the founders of the movement are also highlighted in the exhibit.

The exhibition has been produced by David Horton, an artist and Professor of Art at William Patterson University. He and several other artists and art appreciators are developing the new Seligmann Center for the Arts located at the Seligmann homestead in Sugar Loaf.

Along with the “Seligmann at Home” exhibition, the center will also feature outdoor sculpture by Julius Medwin and fantasy drawings by the late Chaim Gross.

The exhibits will be on display through December. For hours and information call (845) 469-9459.

The Board of the Hyde Park Visual Environment Committee (HPVEC) said it would begin to solicit donations from residents that would be earmarked for the planting of new street trees along its main thoroughfares as well as replacement of unhealthy or diseased ones.

“Postcards of Hyde Park from the 1930s as well as photographs through the 1960s show a spectacular, dense canopy of shade trees over Route 9,” said Hilary VanNorstrand, chairperson of HPVEC. “Given that the New York State Department of Transportation’s own budget for new and replacement trees has been cut, we decided it’s time for us to take matters into our own hands.”

The program, according to VanNorstrand, will continue one begun last fall when HPVEC committed money from its beautification fund for 10 new trees that were planted across from the Hyde Park Town Hall. The group hopes to raise $30,000 over time, paying for 100 trees, with initial installations on Route 9 and then along Route 9G beginning in the Haviland Road area.

Anyone wishing to make a fully tax-deductible donation, of any amount, for the street tree program can contact Linda Geiselhart at (845) 229-9547. Online donations can be made at hydeparkvec.org. Mail donations to HPVEC, Box 125, Hyde Park, N.Y. 12538.

Family pictures Photographs by Karen Davis and Carla Shapiro titled “Memories, Longing and Close to Home” are on exhibit at Cabane Studios Fine Art Gallery, 38 Main St., Phoenicia, from now through Oct. 28. Fall gallery hours are Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment.

“While I have explored a range of subjects in the 20 years I have been a photographer, some what to my surprise, I find that much of my work has centered on my family and me,” Davis said. She teaches portfolio development, marketing and word-image courses at the Griffin Museum of Photography and in workshops at the Davis Orton Gallery, Hudson, where she and her husband, Mark Orton, are co-directors.

Shapiro says, “As a photographer I have taken countless pictures, but now I purchase images that remind me of my childhood. I find them on the Internet, at flea markets and at yard sales. I then scan the old snapshots into the computer, make changes, print them in platinum/palladium and add paper, fabric and bric-a-brac to create a collaged affect. Through the process of creating these images I experience memory, longing and joy.”

A photographer for more than 25 years, her work has been shown nationally and internationally and awarded numerous times.

“The Rock Academy offers the same top-shelf instruction that you would expect from a school setting but in the convenience and comfort of your own home,” said Faust.

“You’ll be reinforced with experiences from music school, group and private instruction settings, as well as years of performance, writing and recording.

“Besides”, said Faust speaking about busy parents, “between school, sports and countless other pick-ups and drop-offs, not to mention gas prices, you have enough driving to do.”

The advantages, according to Faust, are reasonable monthly rates, not being stuck in traffic, not having to drop off two kids at two different places at the same time, not scheduling mishaps and not trying to find a parking space. Instead of a waiting room, parents can stay home and still know that everything will be proactive, productive and consistent.

The Rock Academy offers instruction in guitar, drums and bass. Keyboards and vocals are coming soon.

lthough Walt Disney died in 1966, if you were to read any of today’s best-selling business books, you would think he wrote them. Disney valued collaboration and promoted the team concept with his employees. He believed that exceeding guests’ expectations required a well-rehearsed cast, with every member playing a significant role. Are you exceeding customer expectations?

Exceed expectations and achieve great customer service by doing just a few things. By knowing your vision and values, employees become front-line customer-problem solvers. Everyone must fully understand why the organization exists and how the job they do helps to meet your customers’ needs. It’s hard for people help with the mission if they don’t know what it is.

In his book “Unusually Excellent,” John Hamm talks about getting back to basics. “When the best golfers in the world get frustrated with their game they don’t buy a new set of clubs or try a new approach to their game.

Instead they work with a swing coach to get back to the most basic fundamentals of grip, stance, posture, ball position and aim – the same elementary lessons they learned when they first started playing the game,” Hamm writes.

Would Hamm, who was named one of the country’s top 100 venture capitalists and whose advice is often published in Business Week, Fast Company, Fortune, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal, suggest that you and your people need help with your game, help with the fundamentals of outstanding customer service?

In the first week of employment, everyone should have a basic understanding about how the company’s products and services make life better for the customer.

Every employee should call two to three customers every week to ask, “How are we doing?” In asking for customer feedback, two questions must be answered: • How easy or hard is it to do business with our company?

• What do you consider to be exceptional service?

By comparing the answers given to the mission statement and goals, team

building and collaboration can be sharpened. People must then be empowered by training on the fundamentals of exceeding expectations. To succeed, continual coaching and reinforcement of the basics must be done until it’s ingrained in your culture.

Next, by knowing the values of your organization and their order of importance, every team member will then have the knowledge they need to solve your customers’ problems more quickly and effectively. The value of safety is more important than on-time delivery at Federal Express. Because of a prioritization of values, no one is ever uncertain about the right thing to do.

A recent Gallup poll survey indicated that over 95 percent of workers want to contribute to the success of their organization. The same poll finds that most come up woefully short in having the information and guidance needed. Train, empower, and reward your employees!

Happy employees take pride in their work, and do it well. They treat customers well if they’re treated well and poorly if they’re treated poorly.

The best strategies will fail if staff is lacking the right customer service training. People must be given a chance to learn what to do. People cherish the responsibility of being customerproblem solvers. When they know your vision and values they solve problems your way. In the end, you will, like Disney, have collaborative teams that are wellrehearsed, with every member playing a significant role.
