Nearly 200 jobs to end with plant closing

Cappelli sells City Center

f architect Chuck Napoli has his way, downtown Chappaqua will be radically reshaped. Napoli, a Chappaqua resident, has proposed a $15 million to $20 million, 68,000-square-foot project of 20 retail stores, with a residential development proposed on what is now the parking lot behind stores on South Greeley Avenue that would extend into Bell’s Middle School field, which would be used as a carport. A brand new turf field for Bell

n Elmsford manufacturer that stood to be awarded more than $4 million in state tax credits to aid the company’s move to Putnam County instead will relocate to Pennsylvania by early next year and close its Westchester plant, idling nearly 200 workers

Middle School would be above the carport. The idea is still in the early planning stages. Napoli is making a presentation Oct. 16 at the New Castle Town Board meeting. He would need approval and permission from the school district, the town, and the owners of the stores on South Greeley before he could proceed. Napoli’s plan is nothing new and was not initially his. The proposal has been kicked around the town since 1985, and was even mentioned in the town’s master plan of 1989. Another downtown plan in 1995 mentioned the proposal,

here. San-Mar Laboratories Inc., a developer and manufacturer of personal care and over-the-counter health products, recently notified the state Labor Department that it will close its plant at 4 Warehouse Lane Dec. 31 and lay off 188 workers. The company in 2010 was awarded a grant of up to $750,000 from Empire State Development (ESD), New York’s chief economic development agency, for equipment purchases to keep the company in its 135,000-square-foot plant in the Elmsford Distribution Center, where owners agreed to invest about $1.9 million in improvements and create 115 additional jobs. But those plans changed in 2011 when San-Mar was acquired by a financial holding company, SML Acquisition L.L.C. One of San-Mar’s founding principals told the Business Journal last December that the company was looking at sites to build a new plant in Putnam County where it could expand its production line and modernize its technology. Empire State Development this year approved a little more than $4 million in Excelsior tax credits for job creation and retention to assist the company in its move within the state. But a state official said San-Mar owners rejected the tax credits incentive and no contract was signed. State officials were told the San-Mar employee who completed the funding application was not authorized to do so and had been fired. The company’s new ownership remains largely a mystery

Beer summit on tap as area craft breweries expand

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

ohn Rubbo and Nick Califano both grew up in Yonkers, attending rival New Rochelle Catholic high schools Salesian and Iona Prep. Rather than settling any lingering differences over a beer, the two decided to start a brewery. Rubbo and Califano founded Yonkers Brewing Co. L.L.C. in March and are hoping to finalize a location in the vicinity of the Yonkers Metro-North Railroad station and the riverfront over the next several weeks before launching sometime in 2013. The partners have two initial goals – to produce a craft lager that will appeal to mainstream beer drinkers and to act as an anchor for the downtown. “We want to create an experience, not just a beer; a place to experience the process, hang back and to become a local gathering point,” Califano said. Added Rubbo, “We want to participate in the evolution of downtown Yonkers.” While they initially hoped to be able to open a full-scale brewery, Rubbo and Califano said they instead are choosing to open a small brew-pub with a portion of the beer being produced on-site and the rest outsourced to a larger brewer. “The tedious part of starting any business is coming up with a business plan and being open to the fact that the plan is going to evolve,” Rubbo said. Califano said they are in the process of finalizing a contract with an undisclosed New York state-based brewer to assist Yonkers Brewing Co. with its beer production. He added that they are currently deciding between three potential downtown Yonkers facilities to set up shop. “We’re hoping for an official rollout around the first of the new year,” Califano said, adding that he and Rubbo have already been in discussions with local restaurants and bars about carrying Yonkers Brewing Co. beer. If Yonkers Brewing Co. is successful, it will join a growing contingent of craft brew-

eries in Westchester County and the Hudson Valley that have been touted as regional anchors. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has jumped on the bandwagon, announcing Sept. 27 that the state will sponsor a meeting of breweries and wineries in Albany toward the end of this month after a “very, very” successful summit of yogurt manufacturers was held in September. In February, Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. relocated to an Elmsford warehouse, where it has the space to produce four to five times as much beer as it could at its Pleasantville location. At its new home, the company has begun packaging its various brews in 12-ounce bottles, with founder Scott Vaccaro previously telling the Business Journal he hoped for the company to achieve 100 percent sales growth in 2012. U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, a Harrison Democrat, toured the brewery in the spring, citing the 6-year-old company as a leading example of small business growth in the Hudson Valley.

Brewery is expanding to a larger facility across the block from its current home and from the Peekskill Metro-North Railroad station. The new facility, which is scheduled to partially open later this fall, will contain more than 14,000 square feet of brewing, tasting room and restaurant space, compared with just 3,500 square feet of space at the brewpub’s current location. The larger facility, complete with a 15-barrel brewing apparatus, will enable the Peekskill Brewery to quadruple its capacity, said partner and co-owner Kara Berardi. The Peekskill Brewery, which launched in 2008, has never experienced a strong economy. Despite that, Berardi said, the brewery has been successful due to a coalescing of the community around its waterfront venue. “I think we’ve been able to grow because people recognize the importance of supporting your community and local products – and this is something we make right here,” she said. “There’s no middleman – it doesn’t get any fresher, any more local than that. And I think people embraced that idea.”

Echoing Rubbo and Califano, Berardi said it was critical for the Peekskill Brewery to maintain its location near the river and the train depot. “We wanted to keep our riverfront identity because we’ve always gotten a lot of traffic from the Metro-North rail lines,” she said. “It’s always been important to us ... we wanted to see the riverfront become a destination because we view the riverfront as a gateway to the city of Peekskill.” At a Sept. 27 cabinet meeting, Cuomo said, “What these summits are all about is we identify a business niche, a business product line where we believe if we get involved, we can actually make a difference.” Like the dairy industry, Cuomo said there are “opportunities for collaboration” with the wine and beer industry. “So we’re going to spend some time meeting with the leaders of the industry,” he said. Berardi and Vaccaro applauded the governor for his involvement and for his backing of recently signed legislation aimed at supporting the state’s craft breweries. “He clearly cares about us, sees that the industry is growing,” said Vaccaro, adding that since opening its new location, Captain Lawrence has doubled its staff to 20 employees. The bill, which was passed by the state Legislature in the spring and signed by Cuomo in July, contains a series of tax benefits, fee exemptions and other filing requirements for craft breweries. In addition, the bill created a farm brewery license, with farm breweries allowed to open restaurants, increase tastings, sell beer making equipment, supplies and other related merchandise; and sell New York state labeled beer, wine and liquor at their retail outlets A Cuomo spokesman said a date for the summit has not yet been determined, but said it will take place at the end of October in Albany.

Cappelli hands City Center to new majority owner

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

eveloper Louis R. Cappelli has sold a majority stake in City Center in White Plains, relinquishing management of the commercial centerpiece of the city’s downtown renaissance to an Illinois real estate investment trust for $53 million in cash, ownership shares valued at nearly $37 million and a refinancing deal that paid off his approximately $125 million mortgage on the property. The new owner, Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust Inc., a public, nontraded company based in the Chicago suburb Oak Brook, Ill., valued the 382,000-square-foot City Center property at approximately $166.4 million. Cappelli’s City Center companies, LC White Plains Retail L.L.C. and LC White Plains Recreation L.L.C., received Class B shares in the joint venture valued at $36.9 million, or about 22 percent of the property’s value. Inland Diversified acquitted Class A shares with its $53 million cash contribution, the company reported in a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The sale does not include the 154,200-square-foot Target PFresh store at City Center. Inland Diversified also acquired

99-year air rights over the City Center parking garage, which houses a New York Sports Club and 24 fully leased apartments. Inland White Plains, the Illinois company’s wholly owned subsidiary, will manage the partnership with Cappelli’s company and will be solely responsible for managing City Center. The fully leased City Center’s anchor tenants include ShopRite Supermarkets, Nordstrom Rack, a 15-screen National Amusements movie theater, Barnes & Noble and New York Sports Club. Toys R Us signed a lease at City Center last spring and is expected to relocate from its nearby location in the Westchester Pavilion on South Broadway in March 2013. Cappelli did not return a call for comment. Cappelli, a decade ago, launched the remaking of downtown White Plains with the $320 million, 1.1.million-square-foot City Center complex, which also included two 35-story residential towers. The vacant former Macy’s department store on Mamaroneck Avenue was demolished in 2001 to make way for the project. In 2010, the developer settled a mutually acrimonious legal dispute with a former joint-venture partner, Kansas City-based Entertainment Properties Trust (EPT), over their properties and financial dealings in White Plains, New Rochelle and at the for-

mer Concord Resort in Sullivan County by agreeing to a property swap that gave Cappelli sole ownership of City Center. In exchange, Cappelli relinquished his 30 percent interest in the New Roc City retail and entertainment complex in downtown New Rochelle. EPT officials, who reported a $1.6 million loss at City Center in the first quarter of 2010 and had stopped cash investments in the property, were eager to unload it. City Center’s new owner, Inland Diversified, used $42.4 million of its cash contribution and $87 million from a $99 mil-

lion mortgage loan from Bank of America to pay off Cappelli’s $124.6 million mortgage loan on the property from Union Labor Life Insurance Co. (ULLICO) and a $4.8 million loan from the state Urban Development Corp. The 10-year Bank of America loan had a 2.67 percent annual interest rate at closing, compared with a 5.6 percent annual rate on Cappelli’s ULLICO loan. Inland Diversified owns about 7.2 million square feet of commercial real estate and 420 multifamily units in 24 states and has approximately $1.5 billion in assets. The company in August completed an initial public offering that raised more than $1.1 billion in capital. Jeffrey Dunne, Steven Bardsley and David Gavin of CBRE Group Inc.’s New York Institutional Group represented LC White Plains Retail L.L.C. and LC White Plains Recreation L.L.C, affiliated entities of Cappelli Group Inc., in arranging the sale. Joseph Cosenza, president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions Inc. and a vice chairman of The Inland Real Estate Group Inc., represented the buyer. Cosenza in a company press release called City Center “the best in-fill, in-city property purchase ever facilitated by Inland Real Estate Acquisitions.” Barry Lazarus, president and chief operating officer of Inland Diversified, called it “a tremendous addition to our portfolio.”

Army to auction former Reserve facility

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

lans by the military to auction a sought-after Poughkeepsie facility that has gone unused since 2007 are moving forward following an Oct. 3 appeal by Sen. Charles Schumer. In response to Schumer’s overtures and repeated urging by the city of Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County officials, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. General Services Administration said they will hold a public auction of the Carpenter U.S. Army Reserve Center Nov. 15. A report commissioned by the City of Poughkeepsie Industrial Development Agency (IDA) estimated that the sale of the 3.3-acre, 14,800-square-foot property to a private entity could result in the creation of

at least 50 jobs in the near term. To date, at least six organizations have submitted formal notices of interest to city officials regarding the property, including a high-tech manufacturing firm hoping to expand its footprint in Poughkeepsie. Despite companies’ interest in acquiring the property, five years had lapsed since the Army Reserve Center was designated for closure by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission with little to show for it. “The federal government cannot waste any time bringing the former Army Reserve Center in Poughkeepsie to public auction while high-tech companies stand at the ready to boost the Hudson Valley economy,” Schumer said in an Oct. 3 statement. “For five years, the closed Army Reserve Center has collected cobwebs, while Dutchess County taxpayers and businesses lose out on a potential hub for next-generation technology.” Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazyik said

it is a critical time to “enhance that manufacturing and industrial base here in the city.” “We’ve been waiting patiently, and so have the interested parties and those in the high-tech manufacturing field who have expressed interest in being here – especially at a time when we need to get people back to work and to create jobs,” Tkazyik said. “This is a critical time and we cannot afford any more delays.” The city will collaborate with Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC) to host at least one open house event toward the end of the month for prospective buyers, Tkazyik said. The Nov. 15 auction, set for 10 a.m., will have an “open outcry” format, with the highest bidder coming in over $150,000 walking away with the rights to the property. While the city has not disclosed the identities of the businesses that have expressed interest in acquiring the property, Ted Luty,

Westmore Fuel opening biofuel terminal in Port Chester

Westmore Biofuel Terminal opened Oct. 10 on Purdy Avenue in Port Chester. The terminal, run by Westmore Fuel Company Inc., was funded with help from NYSERDA and the National Biodiesel Foundation. “It’s a much cleaner fuel,” Julie Migliacci, director of development and communications for the New York City and Lower Hudson Valley Clean Communities Inc., said. “You can eat it if you choose. It’s mixed in with traditional diesel and engines can run off of it.” The state-of-the-art facility will service New York and Connecticut, and its location by water will mean it can use water for fuel as well. “I don’t know of any other fueling terminal like that,” Migliacci said. “It’s easily accessible and you can custom blend whatever you need.”

“

We need a bank that understands the construction business. The Westchester Bank knows our needs and provides us with highly efficient and quality service.

president of Dorsey Metrology International Inc., has publicly discussed an interest in the property. Located just a block away from the Army Reserve Center, Dorsey Metrology manufactures high-tech measuring devices and gauges. According to a statement from Schumer’s office, Luty has said Dorsey Metrology would immediately hire up to 10 new employees and could expand to up to 50 new employees over the course of a few years, should it acquire the Army Reserve Center property. HVEDC President Mike Oates said in a statement that the property has the potential to be an “economic engine” for the city and the region, and cautioned against further delays. “Further delay of the public sale could allow the building to fall into disrepair, or worse, force the companies to find immediate and more reliable space outside of Dutchess County,” he said.

Westchester IDA approves 2 businesses

Two companies recently were granted tax incentives to do business in Westchester County. The county Industrial Development Agency approved $82,798 in sales and mortgage tax exemptions for Metro Wine, an importer of French Bordeaux wines, to relocate from Stamford, Conn. to Elmsford.

to both state and Westchester County economic development officials. A former SanMar chemicals supplier in New Jersey, who is suing the Elmsford company for about $150,000 in back payments, said its parent company is based in Massachusetts. Starting late this year or in early 2013, San-Mar’s products will be made and packaged in Pennsylvania, where a sister company, Process Technologies and Packaging Inc., is headquartered in Olyphant, a small

community outside Scranton. The relocation was announced on the Process Technologies website. An official at Process Technologies did not return calls for comment. ESD spokesman Jason Conwall said the state disbursed $250,000 of the $750,000 grant to San-Mar. “No recapture (of those funds) has occurred because they maintained the required employment levels” in the contract, he said. “If a company receiving funding from ESD fails to reach or maintain specific obligations that are a condition of its funding, ESD has a clawback provision in its contract

with the company to recover benefits if job promises aren’t met,” Conwall said. “These requirements ensure a more performancedriven approach where taxpayer money is only spent when there is a clear, definable and delivered benefit to the taxpayer.” After the company relocates to Pennsylvania, the state can reclaim a portion of its grant disbursement. “We’re not going to give a company a quarter-million dollars and have them relocate outside New York state,” the spokesman said. Westchester County Economic Development Director Laurence P. Gottlieb said the county was never involved in nego-

dent, said that the downtown is terribly lacking. “I don’t think you’ll find anyone who disagrees,” Metz said. “This project is good for parking, it’s good for recreation and it’s a boon for the stores. I don’t think Chappaqua is a viable commercial center, but it’s important that it might become one.” The vision that Napoli, who is teaming with construction manager Mark Giordano of Ossining, has is turning Chappaqua into a charming European town where pedestrians and cars don’t mix. Napoli will control the stores that go in there, and said he is not looking for chains. Besides Europe, a local comparison he has is Katonah. “I want to keep that small town feel attitude,” Napoli said. “The trick is to have a place for cars and people and just don’t have them mix.” Part of the project will include the construction of a 360-seat performing arts center. After seeing what centers like the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, Tarrytown Music Hall and Irvington Town Hall have done to their communities, Napoli would like to see Chappaqua have its own place. The performing arts center would be built and donated by Napoli to a not-forprofit organization that would run it. “We need people using the town in the evening,” Napoli said. “We have people here during the day, just not after six.” The Chappaqua School District plays a major role in the project. Napoli said while

there would be inconvenience as he builds one field and puts a carport on the other, he would try to do everything over the summer to minimize impact. And aging Bell Field would be replaced by a gleaming turf field, also donated by Napoli. Napoli said he is working with the school right now though he has not formally proposed anything, and that the district is investigating the legalities of the project. Victoria Tripp, president of the Chappaqua Board of Education, said that the district is open to Napoli’s proposal. “The Chappaqua school board is in favor of supporting commercial development and existing businesses in our town,” Tripp said. “Having a vibrant and economically sound business district would benefit all segments of our community.” Napoli said he has support for the project and that many storeowners have not only given their permission, but asked to be investors. He said other Chappaqua residents have asked about investing. Once Napoli has all his approvals and money in place, he said the project would take about 40 months to complete. Rent for businesses would be about $35 per square foot, and while the project would not fill Chappaqua’s need for a supermarket, Napoli said he would like a specialty food market, similar to the Grand Central Market. The 20 apartments would likely have little impact on the Chappaqua School District as they would be one bedroom or studio.

tiations with San-Mar. He said the company apparently was torn by internal disputes. “It’s a complicated story,” Gottlieb said. “It’s not a clean business loss for New York state.” “It seems like there are internal battles going on, lawsuits going on within the company, against the company. This is not your typical business loss for Westchester County. The circumstances are beyond the county intervening.” With the Elmsford company’s notice of closing to the state, Gottlieb said the Westchester-Putnam One-Stop Employment Center will gear up to assist San-Mar’s laidoff workers.

Chappaqua — From page 1

though nothing has ever come forward. Many residents have complained that downtown Chappaqua is sorely lacking in merchants and places to shop, compounded by the town being a bedroom community. Residents have been critical of a possible rezoning that would allow a supermarket and other retailers at the Chappaqua Crossing site, fearing it would cripple the downtown. “I’m using this project as a model for community development,” Napoli said. “I’ve had meetings once a week all summer long. I’ve been listening to people. We’re a very walkable hamlet. The trick is to have enough businesses to draw people.” Napoli has been to many hearings on development projects, including Chappaqua Crossing, which has devolved into yelling and lawsuits. Napoli, who himself was a proponent against repairs to the Route 120 bridge and filed an unsuccessful lawsuit, said it is important that he builds consensus and support in the community. The project has stalled in the last 27 years because of a lack of cooperation between the school and town board. Napoli claims neither side got along until recently, and praised Supervisor Susan Carpenter for reaching out to the school board. “Susan is interested in bringing new stores into town and expanding the nonresidential tax base,” Napoli said. “Because of her, now everyone is talking.” Carpenter did not respond to multiple requests for comments. Residents expressed support for the plan, hoping that it will reinvigorate the downtown. “I think it’s a terrific idea,” said resident Tom Curley, an architect and urban designer for more than 40 years. “If there is more that downtown can provide which is complimentary to existing businesses, something which is going to be useful and will add to the quality of life of people, it’s hard to argue that it shouldn’t happen.” Dave Metz, a longtime Chappaqua resi-

“I’m using this project as a model for community development,” Napoli said. We’re a very walkable hamlet. The trick is to have enough businesses to draw people.”

Napoli envisions them for a young couple just starting out in Chappaqua or older people looking for a place to stay. The project should create 80 jobs during the construction phase and Napoli estimates 190 full-time jobs once it is completed. Napoli’s architecture has become almost an institution in the hamlet since he moved to Chappaqua in 1970. He has designed more than 42 projects, up and down the King Street hill. He said he has been before the planning board more than 45 times. Despite Chappaqua’s status as a bedroom community, Napoli notes that there are a lot of empty nesters and homemakers that could keep the shops thriving during the day.

Gallery gives glimpse into digital center’s offerings

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

few weeks ago, performance artist Marcy B. Freedman got some good news. A walk through the space that would house her next project sparked an idea, so she asked about expanding her work. Freedman was not only given permission, but was encouraged to incorporate a digital element to “FREE NOT FREE,” which debuts Oct. 18 in Peekskill. It was a fitting move, as the installation and series of live performances is being held at the Center for the Digital Arts, a satellite campus of Westchester Community College. Its lobby-level gallery serves as a vibrant introduction to the broad offerings of the center. Lise Prown, the technical support manager and gallery coordinator, was long familiar with Freedman and her work, as the Croton-on-Hudson artist had exhibited in group shows and also taught art history at the center. Prown was intrigued by Freedman’s exploration of materialism and thought the work would also interest gallerygoers, who

range from students on their way to class to local art lovers who regularly visit. “I keep my eyes open for people in the Peekskill area who are doing interesting things,” Prown said, especially if there is a digital component to their projects. She has presented some three shows per semester since 1994. Freedman says the new digital component, a silent work called “STEPS TO FREEDOM,” will “add another layer of meaning to the topic of freedom.” Freedman, who has devoted the last few years to video and performance art, will be displaying shopping bags from the ritziest stores throughout the gallery. Each holds an

item and during performances Freedman will ask participants to select a bag. They may keep its contents if they talk to her about their choice. They will find, though, that the bags don’t always contain what is expected. A Prada bag, Freedman says for example, might contain a bar of luxury soap. It’s all designed, Freedman says, to examine “how we are manipulated by the retail world” and are “immersed in consumerism.” “I just want to engage people in a conversation,” Freedman said. “All of my projects, regardless of theme, involve a one-on-one conversation.” Freedman said the gallery’s shows take the overviews presented in general art-history courses to the next level. “There’s not enough time to focus on contemporary art,” she said. “Lise’s programs really immerse them in it.” The gallery is also a direct tie-in to the school and its courses. “I often get the sociology and psychology professors (who) particularly will engage with the exhibits in the gallery,” Prown said. In addition, digital arts classes might critique a show. The center offers traditional college classes to some 1,500 students per semester. It also offers ESL classes and training for nontraditional students.

Courses touch on everything from recording MP3s to blogging, digital imaging to 3-D animation, developing a web portfolio to graphic layout design. All work is completed in open labs, research rooms and lecture halls. “There’s a lot going on at the center,” Prown said. “These digital skills are really important. “I can’t emphasize that to students enough, how they’re going to use it.” The gallery is the place where many see how the digital work ties into the real world, but it has one more aspect that makes it perfect for Freedman’s “FREE NOT FREE” presentation – its history as a retail destination. As Prown said with a laugh, “This building was a Woolworth’s, so it’s really appropriate.” Freedman will present “FREE NOT FREE,” an installation and series of interactive performances, Oct. 18-Dec. 1 at the Westchester Community College Center for the Digital Arts at the Peekskill Extension, 27 N. Division St. An opening reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, with an artist’s gallery talk at 6:30 followed by a performance. Performances will also be held from 6 to 7 p.m. Oct. 23 and Nov. 6 and 15; and from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nov. 27. Information: (914) 606-7300 or marcybfreedman.com.

ask andi Learn to improve inventory planning We got caught with inventory on hand. It built up as usual and then we suddenly lost a number of orders. Now what should we do?

Thoughts of the day: Figure out what you can and can’t use. Take your lumps; write off, clean up and get an accurate count of usable inventory. Automate what you can. Put people in charge of keeping inventory under control. Have operations work with sales and finance to improve inventory planning. Whether you’re talking about office suppliers or a factory running at full tilt, it’s easy to build up excess inventory. That’s why it’s important to periodically identify what can and can’t be used. Try selling obsolete items elsewhere – eBay, clients, competitors, suppliers or whatever. Forget about what you paid for unusable inventory. If you don’t sell it, it’s worth zero. Any money you make on it, as long as you cover shipping and handling costs, is better than no money. Whatever you can’t sell, dump. Stop clut-

tering shelves with unusable goods. It makes it harder to see what’s really going on with active goods. Every piece of inventory should have its own place. Label shelves as to content and quantity. Build a system to easily eyeball if there’s enough, too much or too little. Establish stocking counts, including min and max. Min is the point at which additional stock is ordered. Max is the total amount that should ever be carried of that item. Establish max inventory by setting order frequency and calculating the amount of inventory used between orders. Keep enough inventory on hand to cover the time it takes from ordering to receipt, to next order, plus 25 percent in case there’s a shipping delay. If specific items have a long order lead time, look for options to cut the cycle down, so you’ll be able to carry less inventory. Tracking inventory can be complicated. Build a spreadsheet. Set up rows for each item with columns for current level, min and max stocking levels, preferred vendor, terms, lead times, pricing, shipping costs, last time price was checked, etc. Make sure that some-

by andi gray

one updates the sheet regularly. Remember that finance has to manage the checkbook. Paying for a big order at the wrong moment in time can be very problematic for many companies. Consider having finance review all orders over a particular limit, as a check on spending and cash flow. Assign someone to monitor inventory. Consider setting up a reward system for that person. Focus on keeping inventory writedowns in check, while maintaining accurate min and max levels. Put someone else in charge of establishing and reviewing min and max levels. Keep in mind that one job is very hands on – keeping track of inventory. The other job is more numerical and theoretical – setting the mins and maxes. Have one person responsible for checking that inventory has been “shopped” recently, comparing vendor prices and delivery timeframes. It may be worth paying a little more to get faster delivery, thereby cutting down the size of each order. Smaller ordering batches can save on cash flow and reduce potential for write-downs in case the inventory suddenly becomes obsolete.

Remember to factor in the cost of shipping and handling. It’s worth having a regular interdepartmental meeting that includes operations, finance and sales. Review new sales and losses, inventory status, pending write-downs, current ordering needs, cash flow, results of recent vendor surveys on pricing and order lead times. Have a group discussion about what needs to be ordered, what can wait, what to stop. Plan out who will gather information to help with decisions for the next round of ordering.

challenging careers

by Catherine Portman-Laux

Guitarist mentor to Hudson Valley music students

uitar virtuoso Dario Saraceno hopes that some student will remember him with the affection he had for the late Ed Brown, who mentored him as his guitar instructor. In fact, he may already have one. The Orange County musician began instructing Sam Rubin in his freshman year at Monroe/Woodbury High School and is proud of the fact that his student got named to the All-County Jazz Band and was invited to write for a string quartet. Rubin also plays the viola. Rubin now reports for his lessons to the Woodbury Guitar Studio that his mentor opened in May in Central Valley. Some 30 students have followed Saraceno from his former store front operation in Monroe. “Aaron Burr lived in the building,” Saraceno reports of the two-story structure at 375 Route 32. “It’s sunlit and there is a downstairs waiting area. The lessons take place upstairs.” Saraceno’s parents, who hail from southern Italy near Potenza, initially opted to move to England with their three children. “My mom’s brothers had moved there, as it

HV wasn’t so far from Italy.” But opportunities in the United States finally lured the family to the Bronx. The five years in England made their mark on the future guitarist: “It was the Beatles era, and my mom was always playing them,” Saraceno recalls. The family relocated from the Bronx to Wappingers Falls in time for Saraceno to enter Roy C. Ketcham High School. He continues to reside in Wappingers Falls. “My brother had a guitar hanging on the wall,” Saraceno recalls. “One day I took it down and began playing with it. I took a few lessons and got more serious in my

later teens. I then found a really great guitar teacher, Ed Brown.” Brown’s new student ultimately cut his own teeth in teaching by instructing several neighborhood children. Enrolling in Berklee College of Music in Boston, he earned a master’s of music degree. But he was faced with student loan repayment. A West Virginia friend overwhelmed with students enlisted the new graduate to help out. “I went from teaching four students while in high school to 40 of them,” he remarks. Teaching has gone hand-in-hand with his own recordings. Right now, Saraceno has songs played on internet radio. “Internet radio is pushing independent musicians,” he says. His band, Dario and the Clear, has CDs available on iTunes. One recording experience has not enhanced his love for computers. The disaster occurred in a recording studio when half of a completed album got completely erased, he reports. “All of my work had been in vain,” he adds. “I lost thousands of dollars. I’m laughing now, but I was not laughing then.” Saraceno reserves his primary professional admiration for guitarists Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai. His fourth CD, “Tattooed

Prophet,” includes on the bass Tony Levin, an associate of John Lennon, and drummer Jerry Marotta, who recorded “Tears for Fears” with Paul McCartney. His third CD, “Dario and the Clear,” includes Mark Egan from the Pat Metheny Group. Saraceno’s teaching philosophy is that every student has to be approached differently. He cites a student who could not read music, but was brought along by his recording him and playing the music back. About half of his students also sing. “I took vocal lessons for six weeks,” he notes, indicating his voice is in “the John Lennon range.” Saraceno visits with parents dropping off their children. “I have the children for a half hour or hour, so parental support is important,” he notes. But not all his students are children. The present crop ranges from eight to 55. Challenging Careers focuses on the exciting and unusual business lives of Hudson Valley residents.

House sales rise, prices drop in county BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ealtors closed on 2,243 residential sales in Westchester County from July through September, a 15 percent increase from the same period last year and the highest third-quarter sales volume in the county since 2007, according to the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service. The regional listing service in White Plains reported 1,534 third-quarter sales of single-family homes, a nearly 16 percent increase from a year ago. House prices, though, declined for the quarter. The median price of a single-family house was $630,000, down nearly 8 percent from the same period in 2011 and a 14 percent drop from the third quarter of 2010. For condominiums, the volume of sales in the higher-priced half of the county market raised the median sale price to $349,750, an approximately 4 percent increase from a year ago. Yet the average or mean price of a condo dropped 12 percent from a year ago, to $374,470. The third-quarter average or mean price of a single-family house in Westchester was $801,023, a 9 percent decrease from the same Full Color Printing Digital Copying ■■ Graphic Design ■■ Business Cards

period last year. Listing service analysts said the lower average price is largely due to price concessions by sellers adjusting to economic conditions. The decline is partly due to fewer sales of houses priced at $1 million or more.

The year-to-date sales rate in the county is 10.6 percent above that of 2011.

High-end properties in Westchester accounted for 22 percent of all house sales in the third quarter, compared with 26 percent in the same quarter last year and 28 percent in 2010. The year-to-date sales rate in the county is 10.6 percent above that of 2011, according to the listing service. At the current pace, the Westchester residential market will reach 7,000 sales at the close of the year. The listing service said that volume is “convincingly” above the 6,639 sales reported at the start of the real estate recession in 2008.

The power of webinars

ompanies are increasingly incorporating webinars as a key component of their marketing strategies. Webinars allow them to get before hundreds of people with relatively little effort and cost while generating significant results. The advantages of webinars are straightforward. They allow both presenters and attendees to save significant amounts of time, energy and money by avoiding the travel required for more traditional live presentations. Presentation costs are also minimized since all that is required for a webinar is a computer and an Internet connection. Most webinars last between 30 to 60 minutes, with some extending up to 90 minutes or beyond, but these are increasingly rare. People just don’t have the patience or time for such a long presentation. The first few minutes of a webinar are spent introducing the presenter or speaker to the audience. This helps the audience relate to the speaker while also burnishing the latter’s credentials. The final minutes of a webinar – the questions and answers segment – further enhances the speaker’s relationship and credentials with the audience. Roughly 60 percent of the presentation consists of quality content. This is why people attend webinars – for the content. If this content or the presentation is poor, attendees will leave in droves. They’re there for the content – which should be unique, interesting and different from what they can obtain by merely reading an online article. While the critical part of the webinar for the audience is the content, the critical piece for the presenter is the call to action (CTA). It’s usually the purpose behind the creation of the webinar. After all, very few people are going to spend the time to create and promote a webinar simply because they are altruistic; webinars are for business. Let’s say I want to sell a product or service. For this example, let’s use a QuickBooks service. I create a webinar, invite a lot of people to attend and present some really interesting information about QuickBooks that is designed to highlight and solve a common problem that QuickBooks users frequently encounter. Now that I’ve presented some great and useful information to my audience, my call to action might consist of offering my knowledge and services to them or selling a product that automates their bookkeeping activities. It’s that simple – and difficult. One of the difficulties is the ability to easily leave a webinar. If I physically attend an in-person presentation, even if it’s not

very good I won’t abruptly leave. I’ve invested too much energy and time (and probably money) to attend. Conversely, with webinars I’ve made no such investment. All I’ve done is click on a link and fill out a signup form to attend. I can just as easily exit from a webinar without any remorse by a simple mouse click. This is a big problem encountered by many presenters.

The advantages of webinars are straightforward. They allow both presenters and attendees to save significant amounts of time, energy and money by avoiding the travel required for more traditional live presentations. Another problem is attracting an audience. While in theory this sounds easy, sending out an email to a mailing list and contacting friends and followers in social media frequently provides disheartening results. People are very busy and do not have the time or inclination to attend a webinar – even if it’s relevant to their work – unless it has some perceived value. Furthermore, they must be motivated to take action by the call to action, an often difficult task. This is the crux and goal of any webinar: being able to offer great content and perceived value to a highly targeted audience and then getting them to take action. When this is accomplished, great results will occur. What makes these results even more attractive is that webinars can easily be repeated as both live and on-demand recordings that continue to produce excellent results. Bruce Newman is the president of wwWebevents.com, a division of The Productivity Institute, LLC in Carmel. He is a social media guru and a specialist on webinar creation and promotion. Newman is currently completing a comprehensive webinar training course, The Complete Webinar Training Course – Everything you need to know to create and promote highly successful webinars, which will be available in late October. Newman can be reached at bnewman@prodinst.com.

Jobs data stumps analysts, labor officials

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

ecent jobs data have stymied analysts and labor officials, with the state’s unemployment rate rising to 9.1 percent in August from 8.3 percent a year earlier as the U.S. unemployment rate declined a full percentage point over the same period. As economists and bureaucrats argue over the numbers, businesses will likely be forced

“New York state has actually had employment growth over the last two years pretty much in line with the national average, and yet our unemployment rate has been going up while the national rate has been going down.” — James A. Parrott to wait until March 2013 for more clarity, at which point the state Department of Labor will release revisions to its payroll and employment data for the previous 18 to 24 months. One economist predicted the statewide unemployment rate would be revised down a full percentage point in March, but state officials said they have yet to make any projections. Two primary measures of employ-

ment, both conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on behalf of the U.S. Department of Labor with the data then provided to each state’s labor officials, portray a contradictory picture of the jobs recovery in New York state. A monthly survey of private businesses that forms the basis for payroll employment estimates shows the state added 278,000 jobs between July 2010 and July 2012, including 24,800 in the three-county region comprising Westchester, Putnam and Rockland. However, a survey of individual households, which is used in the calculation of unemployment rate estimates, suggests the state has lost a net 36,900 jobs over that same period, and that the three-county region including Westchester has added just 9,600 jobs. In fact, between July 2010 and July 2012, no state had a larger unemployment rate increase than New York. The difference is “really very stark, and you don’t see that in any other state,” said James A. Parrott, deputy director and chief economist for the Fiscal Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank with locations in Albany and New York City. “New York state has actually had employment growth over the last two years pretty much in line with the national average, and yet our unemployment rate has been going up while the national rate has been going down,” he said. Parrott rejected the notion that the disparities are the result of a small sample size for the household and payroll surveys, arguing instead that they are being caused by a systematic problem with the formula BLS, which is a division of the Census Bureau, uses to arrive at unemployment figures specific to New York state.

“Some economists have tried to explain the disparity between the two surveys in New York by pointing to the relatively small sample size in the current household survey, and it’s true that the sample size is not as great as we would like ... (but) there’s been no change in the sample size for decades in New York,” he said. “My sense is that new population weights related to the 2010 Census are what’s thrown off the overall estimates.” According to the state Labor Department, the unemployment rate is based primarily on the results of a telephone survey of 3,100 New York state households, while the monthly payroll estimates are based on a survey of 18,000 statewide employers. Parrott predicted the unemployment rate would be revised closer to 8 percent when the state issues its adjustments in early 2013. For the time being, he said, the confusion isn’t helping business owners. “I think the most telling factor facing businesses is what’s happening to the volume of their own business ... that said, it certainly doesn’t help confidence and the outlook if you’ve got an unemployment rate that is rising the way it is, at least as it is being reported,” Parrott said. A state official said the process of revising the previous 18 to 24 months’ worth of employment data begins in January, with any revisions typically released in early March. As part of the process, the initial employment and payroll estimates released by the state on a monthly basis are benchmarked against data collected from unemployment insurance tax records. The official said that historically, there have been some large upward and large downward revisions. However, the official added that the initial estimates released by the state have proved to be increasingly accurate over

the past several years. The official said BLS is constantly finetuning its calculation methods, adding that it is possible changes resulting from the 2010 Census are impacting the current estimates, but saying that won’t be known until the benchmarked data are released.

The digitized experience economy

igitization of information speeds the process of products or services becoming commodities, encouraging customers to buy solely on the basis of price. When businesses rely on cheap prices, the results are low profits, slow growth, and no future. Phone companies and Internet providers compete for customers solely on the basis of price. Most airlines haven’t enjoyed profits in a decade. Fast-food restaurants all focus on “value” pricing and in the financial services arena, Internet-based brokers drive down commissions. Every business can become a stage and begin to create memorable events for their customers. Staging experiences that engage customers can save you from the threat of commoditization. Apple product owners experience beauty and ease of use from the time they enter the store and see the packaging of to the intuitive way they so easily work. The Geek Squad, with locations at virtually every Best Buy store in America, dispatches repair technicians driving black and white Volkswagen Bugs while dressed in white shirts, thin black ties, pocket protectors and badges. Deliberately nerdy “agents” turn a dull service call into a fun and memorable, carefully staged encounter. Before even entering a Planet Hollywood or Rainforest Café restaurant, the customer begins to anticipate something fun and different. As they leave, although the food and service they experienced was nothing exceptional, they tell their friends, Tweet and post on Facebook. Why? Because it was a unique experience! Both Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Café enjoy higher margins because of the distinctive experience they provide. What will you do to prevent commoditization in your organization? Keep in mind that your people, your physical environment or your products and services can be packaged or delivered differently. Regardless of what you do, your customers’ experience must be excellent. Excellent experiences are so rare that the vast network of digitally connected consumers tell the world when they have one. According to Scott M. Davis who consults for companies such as Boeing, GE, NBC Universal, Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil and Allstate, “In our digitally driven world, all information makes its way to the Web, where bad products, practices, or services are identified. The best strategy is to be open,

honest, and authentic from the start and let the network do much of the heavy lifting.” In his latest book “The Shift,” Davis said, “Customers will no longer go to the company website or sales force for product information. They believe they can get much better information and make a much more informed purchase decision by getting answers from others, not you. In effect, these stakeholders are stating that they trust other sources first.”

To thrive in the new digitized experience economy, offer something so different, your customers can’t help telling others about it.

The digitized economy has emerged. To succeed, orchestrate and choreograph an excellent experience from beginning to end. It doesn’t matter if it is a visit to the dentist, a stay in the hospital, shopping for a computer or going out for dinner – customers are telling our digitized world what it’s really like doing business with you. Goods and services are no longer enough to make one company’s offering stand out from another and the result is commoditization, low prices and lean profits. The next step is to use your services as the stage like the Geek Squad or like Planet Hollywood or Rainforest, facilities as props to provide a memorable experience. To thrive in the new digitized experience economy, offer something so different, your customers can’t help telling others about it.

Questions for discussion: Could we offer our products or services in a different and more memorable way? How much more would our customers be happy to pay for a well-staged experience?

CBRE Group recently brokered a 32,000-square-foot office and industrial lease on behalf of building owner Lighthouse Real Estate Ventures with SolarCity Corp., a residential and commercial solar energy services company, at 203 Ridgewood Drive in Elmsford. Based in San Mateo, Calif., the 6-yearold company signed a five-year lease for the entire property as part of a threepronged expansion into New York. (See related story, page 18.) Kevin Langtry and William V. Cuddy Jr., of CBRE’s Stamford office, represented Lighthouse in negotiations, while John Grady of Cushman & Wakefield Inc. represented the tenant. The property is in Fairview Corporate Park, which includes four Class A buildings totaling 250,535 square feet of flex space. Langtry said the SolarCity deal brought the Lighthouse Elmsford portfolio to full occupancy.

Evolution Markets L.L.C., a financial services provider to the clean energy sector, has signed an early five-year lease renewal for its 10,279-square-foot space at 10 Bank St. in downtown White Plains. The deal was announced by Jeffrey H. Newman, executive vice president of Malkin Properties, landlord and marketing and managing agent for the 12-story, 225,000-square-foot Class A building. The lease runs through 2018. Evolution Markets has been a 10 Bank St. tenant since 2002. Newman and Malkin Properties leasing associates Kimberly Zaccagnino and Tara Long represented the landlord in the transaction. The tenant was represented by brokers Steve Baker and Matthew Lisk of Cushman & Wakefield Inc. Attorneys in the transaction included Kenneth Theil, of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan L.L.P. in Manhattan, for Evolution Markets, and David Bleckner and Ian Lester, of David J. Bleckner P.C. in Manhattan, for the landlord.

Robert Greene, the chairman of the North Castle Planning Board, has unexpectedly announced his resignation. While Greene isn’t talking, town Supervisor Howard Arden said that Greene was upset about the town’s 3-2 vote Sept. 27 to begin the State Environmental Quality Review Act process for the Brynwood Country Club proposal. Greene lives at nearby Windmill Farms where residents have been vocal in their opposition to the plan for 88 luxury condominiums. “He had very strong feelings about the application being accepted,” Arden said. “He felt he couldn’t continue in his role as planning board chairman. It was a personal decision. He wanted to be able to have more to say; he felt he couldn’t speak out as much in his role as planning board chairman versus being a private citizen.” Arthur Adelman, the current vice-chairman, will replace Greene as chairman of the board.

SolarCity expands into Westchester

he largest provider of solar power in the country is now set up in Elmsford, and has filed an initial public offering to boot. SolarCity Corp. opened its Westchester operations center this summer, with offices, a training center, warehouse and distribution center in a 33,000-square-foot building on Ridgewood Drive in Elmsford. The move is creating 80 jobs in the county, as the company is looking for salespeople, engineers, electricians and construction managers. “We’re in the process of ramping this business up,” said Ed Steins, northeastern regional vice president. “It’s a real employment generator.” Steins said the company had several reasons for moving into Westchester. It serves 165 customers out of Westchester, and the county is a convenient middleman for their northeastern operation that runs from Boston to Washington, D.C. The company, founded in 2006, is headquartered in San Mateo, California. The expansion into Westchester would not have been possible without Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York Sun initiative, launched

in late August, that incentivizes people to switch to solar power. Elmsford was considered a great location because it is near major highways, and Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) vocational schools. “It made finding employees who are trained in solar power easier,” Steins said. On Oct. 5, SolarCity announced that it filed an IPO, hoping to raise $201 million. The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not been determined. SolarCity will apply to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker symbol “SCTY”. Goldman, Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) L.L.C. and Bank of America Merrill Lynch will act as joint book-running managers for the offering. Needham & Company L.L.C. and Roth Capital Partners will act as co-managers. The Westchester operation will oversee solar jobs throughout the metropolitan region, including one near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and a commercial project in Newburgh. The company also recently opened a sales office on Long Island. SolarCity, which employs more than 2,100 people nationwide and has more than 31,600 customers, installs solar systems and

also offers insurance, repairs, monitoring and financing. The company is touting its solar lease program, which allows customers to go solar for no money down and a smaller utility bill. “To find all these services under one roof is unique,” Steins said. “The lease opens up solar as an option for the middle and working class. It appeals to everyone.” Steins said that solar is cheaper than “dirty” utility power, while also helping the environment by not creating greenhouse gases. “You can actually pay for 20 years of electricity up front,” Steins said. “That is very significant; you are buying the system outright. We monitor the system and should it need repairs, we repair it. It’s really hassle-free.” The green movement has led to solar power becoming more popular in recent years and Steins said he hopes that solar panels become as prevalent as flat screen televisions. SolarCity also conducts energy efficiency audits for Westchester property owners.

“Customers are astounded by how much energy leaks out of their building and homes,” Steins said. “It’s a huge amount and we help them see where we can close those leakages. Whether it’s installation or a highefficiency boiler, it’s all services that we can provide. They don’t realize that when there is a breeze blowing through the house, that’s a loss of energy.” Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner said he was pleased to see SolarCity’s arrival in the town. Greenburgh was one of the first municipalities to install solar panels on its buildings. “I would like to work with SolarCity,” Feiner said. “We’re looking to do more as a town to promote solar energy and other green energy. I hope that having such a prestigious green business in our town will inspire businesses and residents to seriously consider solar. This is the kind of company I love having in the town.” Steins said that candidates for employment at SolarCity can go to solarcity.com and apply online.

EarthKind to focus on solar project development EarthKind Energy has announced that it has sold its solar products division so that it can concentrate on its quickly expanding solarproject development business. A renewable energy company founded in 2007, EarthKind will now focus on identifying projects, securing government incentives and structuring project management and financing, according to Ron Kamen, chairman of EarthKind and president of the NY Solar Energy Industries Association. With the restructuring, Kamen and Linda Curtis, EarthKind’s president, acquired the outstanding shares of EarthKind stock, securing 100 percent ownership and relocating to Rhinebeck. “We had established a solar thermal products division with associated branch offices in Kingston, but now sold that off and returned all operations to our corporate HQ in Rhinebeck,” Kamen said. Douglas Polley, the former president and CEO of EarthKind, will support the company in an advisory role. Polley helped lead EarthKind’s transitioning from a solar hot-water products distributor to a solar PV and solar thermal project developer. Kamen and Curtis also own Starphire New Energy Technologies, a renewable

Pace dean mentors nurses of tomorrow

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

arriet Feldman got into nursing because a dislike of public speaking dissuaded her from teaching. Now she regularly gives lectures to hundreds and thousands of people. Feldman is the dean of the College of Health Professions at Pace University, running the Lienhard School of Nursing. In her 47-year career, she has been both a nurse and educator, helping to train the nurses and physician assistants of tomorrow. As dean, Feldman, who joined Pace in 1993, oversees a student body of almost 1,000 people covering two campuses. One of the issues impacting nursing schools across the country is the shortage of faculty, as many find it more lucrative to work in nursing rather than teaching. Pace has launched an alumni program called Grow Our Own, allowing Pace graduates who want to pursue their doctorate to become tenure-track faculty with the support of Pace. “It’s a wonderful opportunity,” Feldman said. “The three people we have so far are

fabulous. They are a real asset.” Feldman said part of the decline in faculty is due to a nursing shortage that occurred between 2002 and 2006, as admissions dropped. She said that hospital mergers and other factors led to fewer nursing jobs available, and people decided nursing was not worth pursuing. But in recent years, nursing has become more popular and interest in becoming a physician assistant has exploded. “It’s a much more secure vocation,” Feldman said. “There’s more guaranteed work.” The physician assistant program has exploded to the point that for every 10 qualified applicants, one is accepted. Pace has recently gotten permission to expand its program. After 9/11, and with two wars being fought, Feldman said that more people have looked into the service industry. Many of her students have turned to nursing as their second career. “They would like to be involved in a different life,” Feldman said. “They want to become caregivers. We’ve had musicians, ballet dancers. It’s a whole different varied group of people making this transition.”

Men have also slowly started going into nursing, as the stigma of male nurses eases over time. Despite that, Feldman said there are still hurdles to overcome. She mentioned a survey of guidance counselors in New Jersey to assess whether they encouraged men to go into nursing. Men with interests applicable to nursing were steered toward being a doctor or physician assistant, but never nursing. “People need to be educated more,” Feldman said. “Men see it as a chance to get into management and see it as a chance to continue their education.” Besides serving as dean, Feldman also served as interim provost and spent four years as dean of education. In 1984, she earned a doctorate from NYU in research and theory development in nursing science, and holds a master’s degree from Adelphi University. As dean, Feldman, who is currently on sabbatical, has complete oversight of the entire school, ranging from the budget to the curriculum. “Everything I touch, I have ownership of,” Feldman said. “I have a wonderful staff.” Feldman is looking at new and innovative programs at Pace that could be offered to students starting in the fall of 2014. While she declined to divulge specifics, she said Pace is looking at programs to offer students who after a semester of nursing may decide they don’t want to be a nurse but want to continue to pursue a career in health care. “Right now they don’t have a lot of options,” Feldman said. “We want to give them that shift and bring in a different group of students.” Throughout her career, Feldman has taken advantage of opportunities to continue to pursue higher education and take on more roles at Pace, even if it required being dean of two programs at once. “I thought I was just going to be a bedside nurse forever,” Feldman said. “I went into

administration and I loved it. I wanted to get more education and take care of a larger group of people. It’s a way to give back in different directions. It never happened by design.”

“You have to trust the people to do their job so that you can do your job,” Harriet Feldman said. “Everyone I have hired has proven to be very dedicated. I don’t second guess or micromanage people. That detracts from what I am trying to do.” One of the skills Feldman said is needed to be a successful dean is to be able to hire talented people to help spearhead your vision. “You have to trust the people to do their sob so that you can do your job,” Feldman said. “Everyone I have hired has proven to be very dedicated. I don’t second guess or micromanage people. That detracts from what I am trying to do.” Being passionate about what you do is another component in being a successful leader. Feldman is known at Pace for her energy and enthusiasm toward the program, and for always being quick to make a decision or reply to an email. “I have loved every job I have ever had,” Feldman said. “I would not have traded any opportunity. It’s been so fulfilling. People ask me about retiring, but I am having too much fun. I like going to work.”

From campus to corporate offices, these students journey BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

inda Salek was a top sales development and training executive at Bayer Diagnostics in Tarrytown when a mass mailing from Westchester Community College caught her interest. The college was using a gender-equity grant to start a Workplace Culture Coaching program that would link female students with female executives and professionals in Westchester’s business world. Adele Shansky, the college’s program liaison, was recruiting successful career women like Salek as volunteer mentors. “I was the first mentor” to sign up for the program, Salek said recently in her office at the volunteer center on the WCC campus in Valhalla. About 15 students participated in the inaugural program. Fifteen years and more than 300 mentored students later, the now-retired corporate executive serves as director of the workplace program, teaming with Shansky, the mentor liaison. “I sensed the program had so much value from what I saw on the corporate side that I wanted to see that it continued,” said Salek, who began her career in medical technology in her native Canada. Second-year students at the college, referred to the program by professors in the business department, receive classroom training in individual communication styles, workplace etiquette and personal branding, resume writing and interviewing for jobs. Armed with personal business cards for networking, they venture to their mentors’ workplaces. Those mentors have introduced students to more than 25 companies that span a range of industries and professions in Westchester,

DREAM Act could galvanize New York job market

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

assage of the federal DREAM Act would result in nearly 53,500 additional jobs in New York state over the next three decades, as well as nearly 6,000 jobs in Connecticut and 1.4 million nationwide, according to a new study. The proposed Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act would allow 2.1 million young adults living in the United States to apply for legal status. The bill was first introduced in the Senate in 2001 and has been re-introduced every year since, with U.S. Reps. Eliot Engel and Nita Lowey, both Democrats, co-sponsoring the House version of the bill, and U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer, both Democrats, co-sponsoring the Senate bill. The 2010 version of the bill was passed by the House, but fell victim to a filibuster in the Senate as supporters were unable to muster enough votes to close discussion of the legislation. The DREAM Act would spur $329 billion in direct and induced economic impact

through 2030, according to an October report by the Center for American Progress, a Washington D.C. think tank. With the economy dominating electoral rhetoric, President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney have largely dodged immigration issues. In the case of the DREAM Act, the report’s authors contend the economy and immigration are closely intertwined. “This study’s findings are clear: Passage of the DREAM Act would improve the American economy and contribute to the economic recovery and our future economic stability,” wrote authors Juan Carlos Guzman and Raul Jara. The Center for American Progress study concludes passage of the DREAM Act would result in an increase in workers’ earnings of $148 billion by 2030, which would in turn trigger $181 billion in induced economic impact, the creation of 1.4 million new jobs and more than $11 billion in new state and federal household income tax and business tax revenues. The report draws on data compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey from 2006 to 2010.

New York’s economy would see the addition of 53,489 jobs and more than $16 billion in direct and induced economic impact through 2030 as a result of the bill’s passage, the study estimates.

“This study’s findings are clear: Passage of the DREAM Act would improve the American economy and contribute to the economic recovery and our future economic stability.” — Juan Carlos Guzman and Raul Jara In Connecticut, the total economic impact of the bill would be more than $1.6 billion through 2030, including the creation of 5,847 new jobs. Donald Gibson, dean of Fairfield University’s Charles F. Dolan School of Business, located at the college’s main cam-

pus in Fairfield, said passage of the DREAM Act would significantly increase the number of skilled laborers entering the workforce, adding that workers with a college degree have fared far better in today’s job market. “What the DREAM Act allows is a person to engage in that, to start a four-year college degree as a path to citizenship,” Gibson said. “Now you’re given someone a much stronger tool kit for entering our economy.” The DREAM Act establishes a means for undocumented immigrants under the age of 32 who were brought to the U.S. at or before they turned 15 to seek citizenship. In order to be eligible, an undocumented immigrant would have to have been admitted to a U.S. institute of higher education or to have earned a high school diploma or general education development certificate. Under the proposed legislation, eligible residents would first be required to apply for conditional permanent resident status, and after a six-year probationary period, those who had earned a college degree, completed at least two years in a bachelor’s or higher degree program, or served in the military for at least two years could then have their conditional status removed.

Dean brings in Dominican president BY JENNIFER BISSELL jbissell@westfairinc.com

he former president of the Dominican Republic was a key speaker in a regional development panel at Manhattanville College, in recognition of National Hispanic Cultural Month. With his presidential term recently finished in August, Leonel Fernández was visiting the area to strengthen regional ties and visit his friend Anthony Davidson, graduate and professional studies dean at Manhattanville College. Davidson developed a successful business mastery certificate program in the Dominican Republic, which led to his personal and professional relationship with Fernández. Approximately 13 percent of Westchester and 10 percent of Fairfield counties’ populations are from Latin America, according to recent census data. And a significant portion of the counties’ growing Hispanic population is from the Dominican Republic. Latin America has been experiencing a decade of continued growth despite the recession in the United States. But with an uncertain global recession on the horizon, Fernández said he’s very concerned the Dominican Republican will be affected this time around. “We see in this moment, for the short term, a gloomy picture,” Fernández said. “For the first time this recession is really going global. “We can’t look at the Dominican Republic in isolation or the U.S. economy in isolation,” he continued. “We need to develop a world view.” The majority of Latin America’s growth has come from China importing raw materials from the region. But in China, Europe and the United States have been slowing their imports and exports to and from the region, Fernández said, due to uncertainties in the global market. The panelists discussed many ways the local region and the Dominican Republic could work together to strengthen their perspective economies. From the United State’s point of view, it may be cheaper to outsource and offshore labor and services to Latin America instead of China with rising fuel prices. The areas could have more collaborative tourism efforts. Additionally, more access to capital for minority-owned businesses could be a way to spur further growth in one of the fastest growing business sectors, according to panelist Fannie Aleman-

Lansch, Westchester Hispanic Chamber of Commerce president. Aleman-Lansch is originally from the Dominican Republic. From the Dominican Republic’s perspective, educational partnerships are also key. Fernández said he’d like to see continued partnerships with Davidson and Manhattanville to increase the country’s growth and competitiveness. In the past, the country’s exports have been labor intensive

and he’d like to see more services exported, which requires more education. The highest ranking colleges in Latin America are in Brazil and Mexico and they only rank near the top 200. “In comparison, we’re not on the same level,” Fernández said. Davidson also stressed the importance of education, pointing to recent discussions in the United States about the need for

more skilled employees and the inadequacies of the education system. “(Students) need to be able to find a place where they can receive adequate training,” Davidson said. “It’s not about teaching them to cross road, but how to cross the road.” Manhattanville intends to host more forums with a focus on Latin America in the future.

The beacon of exhibits

RiverWinds Gallery at 172 Main St. in Beacon presents an exhibition of oil paintings by Kevin Cook titled “The Season of Gold,” now through Nov. 4. Cook, an accomplished landscape painter whose style, although strongly influenced by Hudson River School artists of the 19th century, bears his own fresh contemporary sensibility. Gallery viewing hours are Wednesdays to Mondays noon to 6 p.m. and noon to 9 p.m. Second Saturdays. A guest educator at the Samuel Dorsky Museum in New Paltz, Cook is from a rural community surrounded by farms and gentle woodlands in upstate New York. His love for painting began with a favorite childhood art teacher and began to take shape along with his growing appreciation for the natural world around him. He attended the State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, gaining a Bachelor of Science in art education. It was at SUNY that he discovered the work of the Hudson River School, as well as that of English Romanticist John Constable and felt an immediate identification with their work and ideals.

The Hootenanny/HoeDown, a romping, stomping folk song festival, will take place Oct. 20, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Hillsdale Fire House on Route 22 just north of the Hillsdale light. Entrance fee is $10 and children under 12 are free. Performers include the Berkshire Ramblers led by Alan Chartock and Joe Browdy, the Hillsdale Hillbillies with Fred Laing, John Farrell performing his family-friendly music, Chris Dellea singing folk and pop and Anne Banks calling line, round and square dances. All groups are donating their services. The funds raised will match contributions from the Hillsdale Town Board, Historic Hillsdale and the Rheinstrom Hill Community Foundation and will be directed toward the restoration of the exterior of the Hillsdale Town Hall. The monies raised will match an anticipated grant from the state of New York for work on the foundation, parapets, roof, windows, painting and a new entrance.

Artist’s grant available

Delaware Valley Arts Alliance will award one Artists in the Community grant of $2,500 in 2013 to an individual artist living and working in Sullivan County. All creative (not interpretive) artists in all media are welcome to apply, although students are not eligible. The grant is funded through the Sullivan County Decentralization (DEC) Program of the New York State Council on the Arts. In keeping with DEC’s commitment to community involvement, the grant requires community participation in some form in the creative process – not simply as an audience for the finished work. For example: local farms could be the subjects of a poem sequence, area musicians could be assistants to a composer by rehearsing and commenting on a composition in progress, or the public could be process part-

One of several excavation sites prepared by SUNY Orange archaeology students during a summer field class.

Can you dig it?

Cory Harris, professor of anthropology and archeology at SUNY Orange, will present the initial archeological findings of a field class held this summer at a preserve in Warwick Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Albert Wisner Public Library from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Eight students spent four weeks of the college’s summer session at Fuller Mountain Preserve, a 255-acre nature preserve, owned and managed by the Orange County Land Trust. The field study was designed to provide first- and second-year college students with hands-on experience in archeology and scientific research, as well as a greater appreciation of Orange County history. Fuller Mountain has several archeological features of interest to academics and historians, including remnants of a crude cottage, a lime furnace and a stone hunting lodge. A summit offers a panoramic view of the Warwick Valley, an attractive feature to the earliest peoples in the region for spotting game in the valley below. The preserve is also in close proximity to the Wawayanda Trail, an old Indian trail, and several water resources. At a public presentation, Harris will present an overview of the field school activities, including historical research, site mapping and systematic and targeted site excavations. Registration is required for this free event by calling the Albert Wisner Public Library at (845) 986-1047 or registering online at albertwisnerlibrary.com.

folk music around the U.S., brought about career boosts for many of the great classic blues players. Hammond does justice to classic blues by combining powerful guitar and harmonica playing with expressive vocals and a dignified stage presence. Within the first decade of his career as a performer, Hammond began crafting a niche for himself that is completely his own: the solo guitar man, harmonica slung in a rack around his neck, reinterpreting classic blues songs from the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. Tickets are $30 ($28 advance sales for Delaware Valley Arts Association members). For reservations, call the box office at (845) 252-7272 and for more information, visit ArtsAllianceSite.org.

The Warwick Soccer Club (WSC) kicked off the 2012 fall season recreational soccer program with the reopening of its newly renovated main field. Town Supervisor Michael Sweeton along with Councilmen James Gerstner and Floyd D’Angelo joined the WSC board recently to cut the ribbon, which ceremonially opened the field for its first use. The project entailed removing the existing sod, mixing in 600 cubic yards of sand and road grits to improve drainage, reinstallation of 15,000 square feet of sod and the completion of a road cut to connect the sprinkler system to a more reliable water supply across the Union Corners Road, ensuring water all summer for the new sod. The WSC board President Craig Shields thanked the town and the town Department of Public Works (DPW) “for their help in completing the project” and specifically Bill Roe of the DPW, “for his close work with our contractors, making sure any issues were resolved and work continued on schedule.” The Warwick Soccer Club, a member of the East Hudson Youth Soccer League, is a not-for-profit organization with a seasonal enrollment of 800 to 900 kids and young adults.

Knowing of his love for music, Moran’s brothers and friends throughout the years would send him signed concert posters, which spurred him on to actively seek music-related memorabilia. After many years housing his museum in a small space and then rotating his collection at local businesses in the area, he was invited to move his museum to Tilly Foster Farm. Using a great deal of his own money, he worked for four months with volunteers to transform the old dilapidated building that had been offered him into a space that has received numerous awards. Moran’s exhibit on Bob Dylan can be seen Saturdays and Sundays throughout October from noon to 4 p.m. For the calendar of events, visit tillyfosterfarm.org/html/ calendar.html or myspace.com/avalonarchives or call (845) 225-9135.

Doggone good fun

An estimated 400 happy dogs attended the Dutchess County SPCA’s Paws in the Park Petwalk Sept. 29. The 18th annual Petwalk raised more than $36,600 for the homeless animals

at the shelter in Hyde Park. Canines of all sizes and breeds came out to Bowdoin Park to enjoy the walk and activities. Demonstrations of agility skills, police and bomb-sniffing dogs, and canine square dancing drew crowds of dog lovers. This year’s “Top Dog” was Kim Lawrence. She won a professional portrait with her pet at On Location Studios for raising the most funds for Petwalk. Team Holly, led by Megan Scianna won the Leader of the Pack prize for the team that raised the most funds. Marshall & Sterling won the prize for having the most team members. The lead sponsors for the day were ASPCA Grants, Pet Goods and Macia Inspection & Testing Laboratories, Inc.. Food was donated by East Fishkill Provisions, Merck and My Brother Bobby’s Salsa.

FACES& PLACES SERVING UP ‘A TASTE OF ROCKLAND’

Nearly 60 restaurants, cafes, bakeries, wineries and breweries kept a full house of some 400 guests in fine food and drink when ARC of Rockland held its 17th annual “A Taste of Rockland” showcase and benefit Sept. 24 at the Hilton Pearl River. “I think it’s become a wonderful thing for the Rockland County community in general,” said Karyl Caplan, executive director of ARC. “It’s wonderful camaraderie for the business community.” Proceeds from the event benefit people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities who receive services through the Congers-based organization. — Photographs by Mary Shustack. 1.
