obert Astorino’s 2010 swearing in as Westchester County executive was welcomed by many business leaders who viewed the county as an increasingly unfriendly place to

do business. The county, which regularly pays the highest average property taxes in the nation, saw a median tax bill of $9,945 in 2010, up 10 percent from 2009, according to U.S. Census figures. Large corporations were abandoning their sprawling office parks, enticed by other states pushing for commercial clients. As many as 10,000 privatesector jobs left Westchester in the four years prior to Astorino’s election, according to the administration. Astorino, a Republican seeking his second four-year term, said he has helped end the busi-

ness exodus, with 27,000 private-sector jobs having been added since he was elected. “It’s a place to actually settle down, do business, create jobs, expand or stay here when they were thinking of leaving,” he said. But Democrat Noam Bramson, who is looking to unseat Astorino, said the administration has handcuffed county planning and zoning departments through a downsizing of resources and has only reaped some rewards of a broader national economic recovery. Bramson said the key to more job creation is to re-strengthen county planning and zoning to encourage development by the local municipalities. “This is not mission accomplished,” he said. Bramson, who is the mayor of the city of New Rochelle, said that the county needed to encourage more shared services for local municipalities and school districts, which would reduce overall property tax bills rather than just the county por-

Yet the event, hosted by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., was as much a company’s rousing inward-directed celebration of its own employees, corporate culture and astonishing financial and commercial success in the last two years after a quarter-century in business. For the founding CEO of Regeneron, the state’s largest biotechnology employer and Science magazine’s top-ranked biopharmaceutical employer in the world for two consecutive years, the Oct. 28 groundbreaking served too as a timely bully pulpit from which to advocate for strong regulatory over-

After the ﬂood, waterfront homes get a lift BY JoHN GoLDeN jgolden@westfairinc.com

n Philips Lane in Rye, a crew from Murphy Brothers Contracting Inc. is doing a full renovation this fall on a Sound Shore home that was only narrowly spared from the rising flood of Hurricane Sandy a year ago. Some of the recent interior work went on while the million-dollar-plus house sat on steel crossbeams that raised it nearly two feet off its foundation. In Sandy’s wake, the house raising has become a familiar waterfront sight on Long Island Sound from Connecticut to Long Island. Some homeowners have been required by property insurers and mortgage lenders to move their structures above the base flood-elevation levels mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). For the owner of the gutted and lifted house in Philips Lane, “I think that she wanted peace of mind too,” said Miguel Palma, site supervisor for Murphy Brothers. The house when lowered to its foundation will be 11 inches higher than its precarious perch last year above Sandy’s high water mark on the property. At Nicholas Brothers Inc., a structural moving company in Hopewell Junction, the demand from homeowners in Rye and other Sound Shore communities has kept two work gangs busy. It has drawn other house raising and moving contractors from “all over the country” and Canada, said company president John D. Nicholas. “Probably 90 percent of what we’re doing right now is all related to Sandy,” he said. “We’ve got work all along the coastline, all through Connecticut, Long Island, New York.” Nicholas said the family-owned business has four or five jobs pending in Greenwich “and more to do in Rye.” “The mortgage companies, some want it,” he said of the house raisings. “The banks, some want it.” Depending on flood zone requirements in their municipalities, some houses have been moved back two to four feet on their

waterfront tracts. “They’re not big moves,” Nicholas said. On Long Island, “We’re lifting houses up and they’re driving piles under them. We’re lifting houses 16 feet.” The cost of a house lifting like that done by Nicholas Brothers on Philips Lane typically ranges from $30,000 to $40,000, Nicholas said. “Some people are using their own money” to pay for the work, he said. “Some people are using flood insurance money. Some people are getting money from the states. Some people really have to rely on FEMA.” “It’s a lot of paperwork for when you want to get money from different places,” Nicholas said. “You’ve got to be patient and fight the system. They don’t make it as easy as they make it sound on TV.” Nicholas does not expect his company’s disaster-related work to dry up soon. “From what they’re telling me, it sounds like a three- to four-year window. On Long Island, it’s just block after block, house after house” in need of a structural lift. Yet one year later, Hurricane Sandy and fears of more major flooding that rose in its wake have not affected Sound

Shore real estate trends, according to one broker in Westchester’s high-end housing market. “We sold a number of waterfronts without any issue,” said Judi Smith, branch manager and associate broker in the Rye office of Houlihan Lawrence. “There are more on the market than usual but not necessarily because of Sandy, but because people have heard the prices are up.” Smith noted the Westchester market historically has seen a six-month lull in real estate deals after floods. But brokers did not see that usual slowdown after Sandy. “I think the effect has been surprisingly minimal,” Smith said. “People still want to live on the waterfront. There still seems to be an appetite for waterfront homes. We’ve sold them and we’ve sold them at good prices.”

“The biggest unknown is flood insurance rather than the fear of another storm,” Smith said. As of Oct. 1, FEMA subsidies ended for flood insurance coverage on older homes, she said. “We haven’t heard yet how high the insurance will be.” Rising costs for flood insurance should not affect the Sound Shore’s luxury market, Smith said, “If you can pay $7 million for a house, I don’t think you worry about it that much.” Many owners of luxury homes do not have a mortgage and are self-insured, she said. Still, the worker noted, properties on the Sound Shore are not exclusively luxury homes. Those homeowners will be affected by rising insurance premiums. In the real estate market, “The only thing that really hurts us is uncertainty,” Smith said. “There’s uncertainty about flood insurance now.” In the village of Mamaroneck on the Sound Shore, “We haven’t seen very many people trying to elevate their homes,” Village Manager Richard Slingerland said. Village officials were aware of the community’s base flood elevations computed by FEMA before Sandy struck, he noted. Those calculations are used to prepare FEMA’s stillpending flood insurance rate maps for communities, which identify special hazard areas and risk zones that determine national flood insurance premium rates. “Once they are adopted, I think they will have an impact on base flood elevations” in Mamaroneck, he said. Slingerland said buildings in the village’s waterfront parks “had some significant damage” from Sandy. The work of repairing them “is still in process. It’s been a long process” as the village has been slowed by its efforts to comply with regulatory requirements, he said.

A MEMBER OF

Council launches development review

he Business Council of Westchester is closing out what its CEO called “a banner year” for the 1,000-member organization with the launch of an Economic Development Leadership Council to formally review proposed development projects and publicly champion those that meet its selection criteria. Addressing an audience of about 600 members and guests recently at The Business Council’s annual dinner at the Hilton Westchester, President and CEO Marsha Gordon said the council will support jobscreating projects that promote “intelligent and sustainable growth.” Timothy M. Jones, managing partner and director of Robert Martin Co. in Elmsford, will serve as chairman of the new council, whose other members have yet to be named. Jones also heads the Business Council’s 3-year-old Westchester Coalition for Business Development, which includes business and community leaders addressing a range of development initiatives and issues. Gordon said the new economic development council will establish a more formal process for project review “so businesses that are growing and developing come to

The Business Council for almost a Good Housekeeping seal of approval.” Business Council representatives could appear before municipal boards to support developers’ proposals, she said. Gordon said the council also will review candidates for a new quarterly Business Champions Award to businesses “that have relocated, recommitted, expanded or started a business” in Westchester. The Business Council presented its inaugural award to a trio of business champions: developers Joseph Simone, president of Bronx-based Simone Development Cos., and John J. Fareri, president of Fareri Associates L.P. in Greenwich, and their project partner in Purchase, Dr. Simeon Schwartz, founding president and CEO of Westmed Medical Group. Simone and Fareri have broken ground on an 85,000-square-foot medical office building at 3030 Westchester Ave. in the Harrison Executive Medical Park, the first new office building construction in 25 years along the county’s office-park corridor. Gordon said the Purchase medical center will generate 600 jobs. – John Golden

apanese barbecue franchise Gyu-Kaku, which is growing more quickly in Asia than McDonald’s, recently opened its first Westchester location at 169 Main St. in White Plains. Gyu-Kaku, with three outposts in Manhattan and more than 800 locations in Asia and the U.S., enters a White Plains market plugged into a large Japanese population but with few Japanese dining options. Gyu-Kaku, which is near a Japanese boarding school and several Japanese-owned corporate offices, is the first Japanese barbecue restaurant in the county. The menu has options diverse enough that customers can get away with eating American food with a Japanese twist, said Marie Floro, restaurant manager. The newest item on the menu is the Gyu Dog, a hot dog using sausage made from black Berkshire pork with Japanese slaw made from teriyaki mayo. Appetizers include the orange chicken wings, which are covered in ginger sauce. Customers will find the typical sides of French fries and onion rings, but the condiments are unique: pesto mayo and mango ketchup. The main courses vary from grilled meats to Japanese food with a Korean twist, including Korean kalbi short rib tare, bistro harami hanger steak miso and sukiyaki bibimbap, or mixed rice with vegetables, egg and meat in a hot stone pot. Although business was slow at first, more people are finding out about Gyu-Kaku through its Groupon deals, Floro said. “It was only recognized by Japanese people in Westchester who were thrilled they didn’t have to go to the city to eat at Gyu-

Kaku,” Floro said. “Now we’re getting a lot of American locals who know it’s too cold to grill outside in the winter time and are looking for an indoor place to cook meat.” Restaurant owner Ivan Zhu from China said he first moved to the states seven years ago and studied economics at Queens College. He said he never dreamed of opening his own restaurant until he started working at a Gyu-Kaku franchise in Manhattan and met employees who lived in Westchester and talked about the growing Japanese population and the need for more Japanese cuisines. When Zhu first visited the building where Gyu-Kaku is now located, it was a 3,000-square-foot printing shop. He noticed the “big open space,” which he said was perfect for accommodating several booths and private party rooms seating anywhere between 12 and 20 people. He bought the space and hired Japanese architect Aki Miyazono to redesign the restaurant space so that it appeared “modern and sleek” and “family friendly.” The $1.5 million renovation project covered everything from building out the kitchen and bathrooms to installing the grills and gas pipes. All that was left was attracting customers. “The focus of our restaurant is grilling your own food,” Zhu said. “Most people have never cooked outside of their house, so cooking at a restaurant is a new experience.” Each table has a central grill and the meats come pre-cut to make them easier to cook. “You don’t need a fork or knife to cut the meat,” Floro said. “It’s different from a steakhouse where they cook the meat and bring it out to you. The idea is that the food goes straight from the grill to your plate.”

MONTEFIORE, WESTMED Partner In the BronX

Westmed Practice Partners Inc., the management services company formed two years ago by Purchase-based Westmed Medical Group to apply its one-stop polyclinic business model for other health care providers, will partner with a second major New York City hospital at a new facility planned in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. Bronx-based Montefiore Medical Center announced it will team with Westmed Practice Partners to lease an 11-story, 93,000-square-foot medical building on which construction is scheduled to begin in November. Modeled after the Westchester clinics operated by Westmed, the outpatient center will include urgent care, primary care, a wide variety of specialty services and radiology services, Montefiore officials said. Westmed will provide administrative and technological support for Montefiore physicians as well as operational and financial services. Montefiore’s longtime real estate development partner, simone healthcare development group, has acquired the site at 3741-3745 Riversdale Ave., where three commercial buildings will be demolished. The project is expected to be completed in about 18 months.

Citrin Cooperman Corner International – Ready or Not? By Mark L. Fagan, CPa Citrin CooPerMan Whether you are considering taking your business international, are just getting your feet wet, or have been competing internationally for some time, your probability for success is lower than doing business in the states. Why? Because many companies that go international are not ready for it. Here are a few things to consider when committing the dollars, time and energy to going international: Are you currently running An efficient operAtion in the StAteS? Take an honest look at the business you are running here. You will most likely use your current operations as a template and replicate it in some fashion in a foreign country. If your current business is unorganized and requires the owner’s talent to keep operations going, how will your foreign operations survive if the owner is not on sight? Your current operations must have at least the following attributes working well so they can be replicated internationally: Key business driver (“KBD”) reporting and management system – Every business has 6-10 KBDs (e.g., sales volume, gross profit %, sales per employee) that measure the health of a company. A timely reporting system and management team that focuses on improving these KBDs should be working effectively. Embracing a culture of accountability – Your business strategy requires buyin from your management team. In addition, there has to be a culture of accountability from your entire organization. Creating a culture of accountability takes time, requires consistency and discipline, and must start and be maintained by the CEO. In other words, your business should be able to run its day-to-day operations based on the culture, policies and procedures currently in place before you try to replicate it in the international marketplace. WhAt iS your internAtionAl StrAtegy? It may be different than your domestic strategy. The business model you use domestically may not translate efficiently to an international presence. Franchising, licensing, joint ventures, and company-owned business models each have their own pros and cons and require different amounts of labor and capital to implement internationally. Alliances continue to be a vital part of corporate strategy, particularly in markets with high uncertainty or where there are potentially promising growth opportunities a company does not want to pursue on its own. If you decide to enter into partnerships with local entities, make sure you

understand the different decision-makers in each situation. Understanding “who decides what” is crucial in international operations. What applies in the U.S. may be irrelevant overseas. Governance structures for domestic companies also may have little relevance in other international markets. In China, for example, even in nominally “private” companies, you need the local Party representatives’ approval for major changes in the company. Do you unDerStAnD the neeDS of your neW cuStomer bASe? Unless you already have a global brand, your target market may not fully understand your product or service. Test the waters by doing a basic market analysis to determine if the products or services are needed in the target market. Talk to other companies that work there or trade organizations involved in such locations. Other resources for your market analysis include the U.S. Commercial Service, which offers a variety of market research and due diligence products through the National Export Initiative (www.trade.gov/NEI), and a department called Export.gov (www.export.gov), which can help you begin exporting. Interview local clients, industry experts and even direct competitors whenever possible. Your aim from this exercise should not be to promote your products or services, but rather to gain insight about the market: its needs and requirements, competitors, influencers, price levels, and payment methods. This will help you determine if there is a market need for your product or service. chooSing the right entity type – Choosing an appropriate and tax-efficient entity type will depend on country regulations and specific situations and details of your business. Choices include a representative office, branch office or a type of foreign subsidiary. First you should determine the goals, strategies and risks of your business, and then choose the appropriate entity to help you achieve the goals and minimize risk. Finally, don’t overestimate the attractiveness of foreign markets. From the costs, management and cultural obstacles to the security risks of your intellectual property and customer data, doing business abroad needs to be carefully planned. The next Citrin Cooperman Corner column will appear on this page Monday, December 2, 2013, dealing with end-of-year tax strategies. About the Author: Mark L.

A MESSAGE FROM CITRIN COOPERMAN HV Biz • WCBJ • November 4, 2013

tion of the tax bill, which makes up roughly 20 percent on an entire bill. Astorino has reduced the county tax levy by 2 percent since being elected, but Bramson said a lack of leadership meant that the overall tax bills continue to grow. Astorino’s own tax bill in Mount Pleasant has increased by $3,000 since 2009, Bramson said. Astorino was elected in 2009 despite facing longtime incumbent Andy Spano in a county where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 110,000 voters. The election, called by some political insiders and members of the press the biggest upset in county political history, came after county government was under scrutiny for perceived excesses. Several movements sought to significantly downsize the branch of government or even eliminate it altogether (neighboring Connecticut is among the states without county government). At the time, Spano campaigned not only by listing accomplishments but on the need for county government to exist. Today, Astorino said his job is not to dis-

sight of private industries by well-funded federal agencies. “Regeneron can be summed up: you’re an impressive job-creating machine,” said U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, addressing a large, enthusiastic audience of Regeneron employees and guests under a tent on the Mount Pleasant side of Biomed Realty Trust’s town border-straddling Landmark campus. Now one of the top five biotech companies in the world by market capitalization, Regeneron has more than tripled its employment numbers since 2007, when it had 682 workers in Westchester. As New York’s senior senator spoke, construction crews nearby readied a cleared site for two buildings that will add 300,000 square feet of laboratory and office space to Regeneron’s Westchester headquarters, where more than 1,500 workers are employed. The company employs nearly 700 workers at its industrial and product supply operations facility in upstate Rensselaer, where Regeneron last year embarked on a $70 million expansion that will create about 300 jobs. The Landmark project will increase by more than 40 percent the company’s existing square footage on the Greenburgh side of the research campus and create about 400 full-time jobs. The buildings

mantle the county branch but make it efficient and cost-effective. “We are here and we are staying,” he said. “Let’s become leaner.” Bramson has said that his opponent has been too conservative, both fiscally and socially – the challenger has focused much of his campaign on portraying Astorino as a tea party extremist who has cut social programs. “There have been more gun shows than there have been shared-services symposiums,” Bramson said. Astorino said that the county has played a role advocating for businesses. When PepsiCo planned to leave its Purchase headquarters, Astorino said he lobbied the state against then-Gov. David Paterson’s proposed soda tax, which was ultimately rejected. PepsiCo, with its 1,100 jobs, ended up staying in Westchester through some enticements from the county’s Industrial Development Agency. The company is now investing $250 million into rebuilding its corporate campus. Westchester’s IDA in 2010 supported 85 projects that received net tax exemptions totaling about $13.1 million, a gain of roughly 8,600 jobs. Astorino said outside of the large companies that receive tax abatements and deals from the county,

Westchester has established a local development corporation that can supply taxexempt financing for smaller businesses in

the county. But most of all, keeping the tax bill down is the best way to keep the county’s business community happy, Astorino said. Bramson said not enough had been done – all one had to do was look around and see that many of those abandoned corporate office parks are still without tenants.

“We have got 6 million square feet of vacant office space in Westchester County, we have extraordinary brain drain – the generation between 25 and 45 (years old) that’s leaving the region in droves,” he said. “That is our future.” Bramson said not only has Astorino lacked regional leadership, but that he has cost taxpayers through a contentious relationship with the Democrat-run Board of Legislators that has sued Astorino several times. Bramson also noted $17 million in federal funding being withheld due to what the federal government says is a lack of compliance over the terms of a 2009 settlement in which Westchester is to build 750 units of affordable housing by 2016. Astorino said he continues to fight the federal government to protect towns and villages’ home rule from an overreach. He said Bramson’s record on economic development in New Rochelle was flawed, with several projects such as the Avalon development not providing the revitalization they were meant to. The county executive is paid an annual salary of $160,670. The election is Nov. 5, when all 17 county legislator seats will also be decided.

are projected to be occupied by the third quarter of 2015. The two-year development is creating about 1,000 construction jobs. To keep the company’s expansion in New York, the state has approved $8.5 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for the jobs-creating project. The Town of Mount Pleasant Industrial Development Agency will provide an undisclosed amount of additional financial incentives. While state officials did not disclose other locations eyed by Regeneron, the company operates a third facility in Basking Ridge, N.J. Kenneth Adams, president, CEO and commissioner of Empire State Development, at the ceremony noted the state’s long-term relationship with Regeneron. When Dr. Leonard S. Schleifer founded the company in 1988, New York made an equity investment of $250,000 in the promising biopharmaceutical business. Regeneron repaid that sum to the state before it became NASDAQ’s topperforming stock in 2012 and, as U.S Rep. Nita Lowey said at the ceremony, created more than 500 millionaires among its shareholding employees. “Had that (New York’s $250,000 investment) been converted into warrants for common stock, where would we be?” Adams mused, drawing laughter from the crowd. All those newly minted millionaires at

Regeneron? “According to the real estate agents in Westchester County, they are grateful,” Lowey said. Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino told Regeneron executives, “If this growth continues, I think you might need your own zip code here.” Citing the company’s high-performing stock last year, driven by sales of Eylea, its newly marketed drug for treatment of age-related macular degeneration, Astorino said, “That was a $5 buy in 2005. It’s around $300 now.” To a standing ovation, Schleifer and his founding scientific partner at Regeneron, Dr. George D. Yancopoulos, warmly embraced onstage. Yancopoulos, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, is the company’s chief scientific officer and president of Regeneron Laboratories, where he was a principal inventor and developer of the company’s technologies and its three drugs to date approved for marketing in the U.S. “This is not a story about two guys from Queens,” Yancopoulos said. “It’s a story about 2,500 employees who have built I think the greatest company in the world…We have a unique opportunity to build a company for the ages.” Yancopoulos noted the company’s remarkable recent success “in an industry where failure is the rule and success is the exception.” “Even when the outside world thought

we were struggling, I knew we were the best company in the world,” he said. “Very few biotech companies have ever been built from the ground up using their own science and technologies and inventions to the point where we are today… Today we’re celebrating the future that we will be creating in our existing buildings and these two new buildings,” he said. Schleifer in his closing remarks indicated that less government oversight and funding of biomedical research, underfunded federal agencies and laissez faire capital markets do not benefit companies like Regeneron. Noting the cost for drug discovery and development to bring one product to market has been estimated at $1 billion, Schleifer said the industry needs strong capital markets in which to raise risk capital. A new regulatory system is needed to avoid more financial crises, when risk capital “dries up,” he said. Schleifer said science-based companies like Regeneron need strong patent protections and a strong Food and Drug Administration “that sets appropriate standards of efficacy, safety and quality.” A strong FDA guarantees “a strong biotech industry,” he said. Underfunding the FDA “is a terrible idea.” “We at Regeneron get it,” Schleifer said. “We know if we are good at what we do, we can improve the lives of patients around the world.”

Brynwood project review on hold this year BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

he North Castle Town Board has postponed a review of a $105 million Brynwood Golf and Country Club redevelopment project after the project developer donated $78,000 to the campaign of two town board incumbents up for election this fall. After financial disclosure filings at the state Board of Election confirmed that the developer, Brynwood Partners L.L.C., made the campaign contributions, the town board decided to postpone review of the Brynwood project until an outside legal counsel and the town’s board of ethics examined the legality and appropriateness of the donations. Committee For A Better North Castle, a political action committee formed by country club owners Jeffrey B. Mendell and Edward Baquero, were cleared of legal wrongdoing, but the town board decided to postpone the ethics board’s review process until next year. The ethics board, which is currently short one member, will not review the case until Jan. 1 when the newly elected board members take office. “Because of the timeframe it takes to do public hearings and the SEQRA [State Environmental Quality Review Act] process, it was pretty obvious we weren’t going to get through it by the end of the year,” said Howard Arden, North Castle town supervisor. “By having a new board come in by January, there will be at least one new member on the town board who can join the ethics board and pick up the process.” Opponents of the Brynwood project argued three of the four current members of the ethics board should be replaced because they are members of the Brynwood Golf and Country Club and may present biased opinions, Arden said. Brynwood Partners representatives declined to comment on the board’s decision to delay the project. Before the town board voted to place a hold on the Brynwood project, Mark Weingarten, attorney for Brynwood Partners, said his client was confident the campaign donations wouldn’t slow down the project. The project has not only slowed down, but Diane DiDonato-Roth, the only political candidate openly in support of the Brynwood project, has dropped out of the race, Arden said.

“Frankly, delaying it until January also solves some issues because the one person the campaign financing was primarily promoting is not going to be on the board next year,” Arden said. The candidates running for the two North Castle town board seats are Democrats Jose L. Berra and Barry S. Reiter and Republicans Barbara E. DiGiacinto and John J. Cronin.

Kimberly Cline: Devotion to education continues at LIU BY mARY SHuSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

hough it’s just four months into her tenure as president of Long Island University, Kimberly R. Cline already knows her latest career move is a good fit. “I will say I’m enjoying myself tremendously,” she said on a recent afternoon from her office at the LIU Post campus. “I find the culture inspiring. The staff members are really committed to putting the students first. …There’s a love of LIU from the people that work on the campus in general.” And the former president of Mercy College who resigned to take the LIU position said the smooth transition from one metroarea, multicampus private institution to another – each with a Westchester presence – is due to several factors. “I feel as a leader that the scope and the duties are the same,” she said. And, she added, she has felt a very warm welcome. With the appointment,

Cline succeeded David J. Steinberg, who retired after 27 years as the school’s chief executive. “He was so gracious in the transition,”

she said, before adding with a laugh, “I have his number on speed dial.” Joking aside, Cline said that in the new job – as the first woman to hold the office

of president in the university’s 87-year history – she has felt nothing but support, something evidenced by comments made at the time of her appointment. LIU’s Edward Travaglianti, chairman of the board of trustees, noted “Dr. Cline is a change agent with a proven record of success in complex, multicampus institutions.” LIU trustee Eric Krasnoff, who chaired the search committee, added, “Dr. Cline’s collaborative style, business acumen and sensitivity to student financial concerns make her the perfect person for the job.” At Mercy College, Cline’s accomplishments, among others, included achieving the school’s first-ever “A” rating from Standard & Poor’s. Before her work at Mercy, with a main campus in Dobbs Ferry, Cline was vice chancellor and CFO of the State University of New York, where she was responsible for the 64-campus system’s financial and administrative functions. She joined SUNY with experience as vice president for finance and administration at Seton Hall University and at Hofstra University, where she was university attorney, assistant treasurer, assistant vice president for business affairs and had taught business law at Cline, page 15

Helping people is the right mix for this pharmacist

high school assignment to write an essay on a career opened the eyes of a young Warwick student to opportunities in the pharmacy field. Today, AnnMarie Slagle Cloutier is a doctor of pharmacy, a compounding pharmacist and owner of Apple Valley Pharmacy in her hometown of Warwick. Recalling the essay assignment at Warwick Valley High School, she said that back then there were very few women employed in the field. That did not deter her from going on to earn a B.S. degree in pharmacy at Northeastern University and a doctorate in pharmacy at the University of Rhode Island. After college, she received training at the Professional Compounding Centers of America. Then came clinical experience at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Solvay Pharmaceuticals in Georgia, St. Anthony Community Hospital in Warwick, Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield and ReDi Pharmacy in Nanuet. Compounding, she explains, is the art and science of preparing customized medications to suit specific needs of a particular patient. And some of those patients are animals, running the gamut from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles. Earning a Fellowship in Veterinary Pharmacy Practice through the American College of Veterinary Pharmacy, Cloutier said, “Medicating animals can present problems. They may refuse to swallow pills or may even eat right around one disguised in food. Dosages may also be tricky.” She says that compounding allows veterinarians to prescribe specific flavors, treats and dosages for individual animals. “From time to time a manufacturer may discontinue a veterinary medicine if it is not needed in the vast quantities necessary to make mass production cost-effective,” she said. Hormone therapy is also provided by the Warwick pharmacy, whose owner notes that the most satisfying project in her career was seeing a pregnant woman through a dangerous pregnancy with the aid of hormones. The pharmacy is also equipped to administer vaccinations. “All the vaccines we provide are without preservatives,” Cloutier said. In regard to prescription drugs, she said, “Some people hoard antibiotics ‘just in case,’ which is a bad idea, as certain antibiotics change their chemical structure, becoming

toxic.” “Just like food, medicines have a shelf life, and there are expiration dates placed on the package for a good reason.” The pharmacy, which Cloutier bought 2½ years ago, has nine employees. The store also offers a variety of personal and gift items. Her success in promoting these items was recognized when she was invited to speak at this fall’s 11th annual convention and trade exposition of the National Community Pharmacists Association in Orlando. Her talk was devoted to marketing outreach to promote front end (nonpharmaceutical) products. Right now, Cloutier is joining with other compounding pharmacists in a fight against legislation to severely limit access to personalized compounded medication. According to Cloutier, this legislation resulted from misconduct of a New England-based compounding organization. Claiming the legislation’s passage in Albany would result in throwing the baby out with the bath water, compounding pharmacists are urging clients to go to the web site ProtectMyCompounds. com to learn how they can protect their rights to personalized medicine. Cloutier resides in Warwick with her husband, David, an electro-mechanical engineer, and their three children: Benjamin, Juliette and Genevieve. Rounding out the family circle, Cloutier said, is a 20-yearold cat too lethargic to disturb the resident goldfish. Challenging Careers focuses on the exciting and unusual business lives of Hudson Valley residents. Comments or suggestions may be emailed to Catherine Portman-Laux at cplaux@optonline.net.

Reckson withdraws rink proposal

Collaborating in job safety, productivity and efficiency.

BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

Local 825 Operating Engineers working together with employers to provide the highest quality construction.

fter a year spent skating around a proposal to build a 140,000-squarefoot ice rink at the Reckson Executive Park in Rye Brook, project developer Reckson L.L.C. has withdrawn its plans. The Rye Brook village board, which was scheduled to review the developer’s application on Nov. 12, received a letter from Reckson’s attorney last week about the decision to withdraw its application. In a one-paragraph letter to Rye Brook Mayor Paul S. Rosenberg, attorney William S. Null of White Plains-based Cuddy & Feder L.L.P. wrote, “We respectfully withdraw the pending application for amended site plan approval and special permit without prejudice to its resubmission.” Reckson, a division of SL Green Realty Corp., decided to withdraw its project the day before the application deadline because the developer needed more time, Null said. “The application process extended beyond the timing needed for the transaction and it was cancelled,” Null said. “Our client is continuing to explore other appropriate uses for the Reckson Executive Park.” Reckson was supposed to submit information to determine whether an environmental impact statement was needed, said Chris Bradbury, Rye Brook village administrator. “There were a series of issues such as traffic that they were supposed to do their due diligence on and we were expecting to get more information on that before taking the next step,” Bradbury said. Reckson, the owner of the 79.5-acre property at 1100 King St., already received the village board’s approval to build on the existing 280,000-square-foot business park space. But they don’t have the approval to add a national hockey-size rink. When Reckson first proposed the idea of installing four 200-by-85-feet sheets of ice, bleachers seating 1,230 people, lockers and changing facilities and 1,052 parking spots, Rye Brook residents showed up in overflow numbers at village board meetings to oppose the project. Residents complained that the ice rink, if approved, would increase traffic in an already densely-populated area bordering SUNY Purchase and the Doral Arrowwood resort. After putting its project on ice, Reckson plans to explore alternative ideas for the adaptive reuse of its office park.

7 doctors awarded in ﬁrst-ever ‘distinction’ ceremony BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

even Westchester-based doctors recently received recognition for their work as medical practitioners at the inaugural Doctors of Distinction award ceremony at The Bristal Assisted Living in White Plains. The awards were presented by Robert Bazell, the multi-award-winning former chief health and science correspondent for NBC News and now adjunct professor of molecular biology at Yale University. Four judges chose the winners out of nearly 50 nominees to receive six distinctive awards in categories such as research excellence, medical entrepreneur, lifetime achievement, community service, humanitarian and leadership in medical advocacy. “We have a treasure trove of accomplished medical doctors and professionals in this county,” said Dee DelBello, publisher

of the Business Journal’s parent company Westfair Communications Inc., during the opening remarks of the ceremony. The awards recognized doctors who have shown dedication to patient care, perseverance despite the odds, a commitment to expand medical bounds and an understanding of modern medicine, said Alan Badey, managing partner at Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains office. With emotions stirring, each winner gave a short testimony about their journey into the field of medicine in front of attendees, which included community members, families and friends. The night began with a speech from the leadership in medical advocacy award recipient Dr. Lawrence L. Faltz, senior vice president for medical affairs and chief medical officer at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow. As a doctor who oversees patient care activities and other clinical and

operational programs, he said one way to implement quality patient care is “getting a seat at the table early in the process” and talking to policy makers about how to better serve patients in a profession where the “big focus is on money.” Faltz is also a clinical professor of medicine at New York Medical College. Dr. Jason B. Carmel, director of the Motor Recovery Laboratory and Early Brain Injury Recovery Clinic at The Burke Medical Research Institute in White Plains and recipient of the research excellence award, shared his story of growing up with a twin brother who suffered from a spinal cord injury. Carmel said a doctor told his brother there was nothing he could do to help him, which sparked Carmel’s interest in basic science research. “Imagine a day when a patient comes up to the doctor and asks, ‘Can you help me?’ and he can reply, ‘Yes, we can,’” he said. Carmel is researching how motor functions recover after the central nervous system

is injured and is exploring activity-based therapies including electrical stimulation and motor training that can help strengthen the spinal cord and brain connection. Dr. Robert W. Amler is vice president for government affairs and dean for the School of Health Sciences and Practice and the Institute of Public Health at New York Medical College. Amler, the recipient of the medical entrepreneur award, built clinical training facilities for biotechnology, disaster medicine and clinical skills. He also started a biotech incubator for researchers and startup firms that are developing new drugs, vaccine strains and medical safety devices. Dr. Avraham Merav, a war veteran who served in Israel, received the lifetime achievement award for innovative surgical procedures. Merav, a former chief of thoracic surgery at Montefiore Hospital, opened the thoracic center at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center and most recently the Westchester Lung Nodule Center. He has replaced and repaired heart valves and aortas, bypassed coronary arteries and removed lung cancer and other thoracic tumors in thousands of patients. “There is no greater gratification” than to see a heart come back to life, “take over the heart-lung machine” and then tell the patient’s family “everything is alright,” Merav said. Dr. Argyrios Stampas, director of The Burke Rehabilitation Hospital Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Program, was tied for the community service award with Dr. Robert Raniolo, a trauma-trained and boardcertified general surgeon who has a private practice in Westchester. Raniolo said his grandparents, who are immigrants, and parents, who have been an integral part of the Westchester community, raised him to serve others. “I’ve been given so much and everybody is there for me,” he said. Dr. Jeffrey Sherman, member of Westchester Anesthesiologists working at White Plains Hospital, has been on 20 surgical mission trips abroad repairing primarily cleft lip and palates, burn scar contractures and orthopedic deformities. Sherman, who dreamed of becoming a baseball player, realized he enjoyed studying medicine more. He carries the mantra “changing the world… one child at a time” and said he takes joy in helping patients become “socially accepted and have the possibility of finding work and entering into close relationships.” To Sherman that’s the equivalent of “hitting a home run.” The Westchester Medical Society along with accounting and consulting firm Citrin Cooperman and the Westchester County Business Journal are the founders of the award.

Cline — From page 8

Hofstra’s School of Business. Cline has jumped right in at LIU, which offers nearly 500 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs and certificates in Brooklyn, Brookville (LIU Post), Brentwood, Riverhead and LIU Hudson, with campuses in Purchase and Orangeburg, plus overseas and online. Though the campuses are indeed diverse, Cline said they are united as “one LIU.” Early months on the job have been spent indentifying priorities and developing programs that “make sense” for an institution in such proximity to New York City. She likes to talk of “the art of possibility” and sees her work as building on LIU’s already strong foundation. Her goals, she said, include developing both programs and the national profile, spreading “the LIU message.” “At Brooklyn, you have the hottest place to be right now,” she said, while the LIU Post campus, a 300-acre spread, “has that “Gold Coast, ‘Great Gatsby’ feel.” In other words, there is something for everyone. Already, she noted, participation in Division I sports helps attract students “from all around the country and the world.” Cline said she has found a good team in place at LIU, which enables work to proceed. “I’m a big believer in collaboration,” she said. And that plays out across the board, from encouraging the securing of grants for more medical research to expanding the strong visual arts programs to making sure business students receive more than just classroom learning. “We’re very focused on making sure our students have real experience,” she said. All, she said, can be traced back to her earliest days in North Carolina. “My mom was a math teacher, so education was always important in our house.” Cline was going to be a pediatrician but ended up going to law school instead. She earned a bachelor’s of science in industrial relations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and went on to complete an MBA, a Juris Doctor and a doctor of educational administration degree at Hofstra. “Once I began working in higher education, I realized I had such a love for being able to help students,” she said. “I always felt that as I was getting more and more experiences it would be wonderful to put those all to use and lead a very good team.” And that has guided her ever since as she made her way to one leadership role

after another in education. “That was a dream but I never thought about moving from one institution to another,” she said. Instead, her career progression was more natural and less calculated, simply welcoming opportunities as they presented themselves. Throughout, she has remained active and involved in advisory roles, on committees and in leadership organizations. It’s simply a way to give back. “I always try to mentor folks,” she said, noting her own mentors included Mary M. Lai, who worked at LIU for nearly 70 years and was the university’s first CFO, and Vice Admiral John Ryan, SUNY’s chancel-

lor during Cline’s time with the university system. These days, Cline can be found making visits to each campus – or simply walking the halls and attending events. “I find you learn a lot when you’re walking around,” she said. That could range from a telling conversation with a student to observing that the school retains a “neat, clean, safe” environment. She also spends time meeting with donors and continues to cultivate a particularly strong alumni network. But whether Cline is talking to students or colleagues, she said she is fond of sharing one piece of advice.

Message from Jim Steets As we are coming to the end of the year, things are often quite busy for nonprofits. Thanksgiving is at our doorstep, followed by the Holidays. Many are still trying to check off their New Year’s resolution from last year - to be more active in the community. When volunteers come knocking at your door, be prepared for them. Let your volunteers know what you expect from them, so they will know what to expect from you. Give them meaningful tasks that make them feel like their time will make a difference in the community. Be flexible when it comes to timing, as we are all trying to juggle busy schedules. Try to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for your volunteers and, above all, show your appreciation. A simple “thank you” can go a long way. — Jim Steets, Vice President, Communications, Entergy

NEWSMAKERS plus awards and events 2014 UJA ANNUAL CAMPAIGN BERND WOLLSCHLAEGER, author of “A German Life: Against All Odds Change Is Possible,”  kicked off  UJAFEDERATION OF NEW YORK’S NORTHERN WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY 2014 annual campaign. Born in mid-1950s Germany, Wollschlaeger discovered that his father was a decorated Nazi war hero who had kept the past hidden from his children. Dismayed by the legacy of the Holocaust, Wollschlaeger eventually converted to Judaism, emigrated to Israel, served in the Israel defense forces as a medical officer and now lives in Miami. The event took place Oct. 24, at Temple Shaaray Tefila in Bedford Corners.  The concept that change is possible was a recurring theme

throughout the evening as the northern Westchester community introduced its Mitzvah & Milestones fundraising project to benefit the new Pearl River campus of Sunrise Day Camp, the first and only full-summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings. A project of the Rosenthal JCC of Northern Westchester and the Barry and Florence Friedberg Jewish Community Center in Long Island (both UJA-Federation beneficiary agencies), Sunrise safely meets children’s needs for fun, friendship and adventure, allowing these kids to simply be kids.  “Change is possible,” said Randi Kreisler of Pleasantville, who chaired the event with Mindy Bass of Chappaqua. “I’m so excited to think

MENTAL HEALTH FUNDRAISER

about the wonderful transformation to Sunrise’s campus we can make possible working together.”   UJA-Federation supports a wide range of programs and initiatives, including core-operating funds to nearly 100 health, human-service, educational and community-building agencies in New York, Israel and around the world. “I’m always amazed by the range of the programs we support: providing assistance to the frail elderly and Holocaust survivors, feeding the hungry, supporting the vulnerable – from those with special needs and their families to those in financial distress – and so much more,” Bass said. “This is the work we do each and every day.”

WCC OPEN HOUSE WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE will hold its annual fall Open House Nov. 14 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on its main campus at 75 Grasslands Road in Valhalla. The event will include a campus tour of the 218-acre campus, including the newly renovated and expanded Student Center Building and the Gateway Center. Representatives from admissions, financial aid, the Career and Transfer Center, counseling and academic advisement will meet with high school juniors, seniors and their parents at the event, which will begin in the gym. The event, which attracts hundreds of individuals, will include representatives from more than 60 of the college’s associate degree and certificate programs. For information, phone (914) 606-6929 or visit sunywcc. edu/openhouse.

Honorees Ralph Leiblich, Dr. Lisa Dixon and Willa Brody with CEO Amy Kohn (second from left)

THE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION OF WESTCHESTER (MHA) held its annual benefit, An Evening At Metropolis, Thursday Oct. 17, at Metropolis Country Club in White Plains. The funds raised will support increased mental health services for the community. MHA honored ANDREW SOLOMON, the award-winning writer and lecturer; DR. LISA DIXON, director for practice innovations, New York State Psychiatric Institute; WILLA BRODY, director of government and community relations, NewYork Presbyterian Hospital; and RALPH LIEBLICH, MHA volunteer. Some 160 guests celebrated the accomplished honorees and MHA’s 67th year serving the county’s mental health needs. “It was an extraordinary night,” said board President Mike Lombardi, who co-chaired the event with his wife, Kate Stone Lombardi. “MHA has made many friends during its long history in Westchester and we were glad to have so many of them join us to celebrate.” CEO Dr. Amy Kohn agreed: “MHA is buoyed by the spirit

24 November 4, 2013 • WCBJ • HV Biz

of nights such as this one. Feeling the support for what we do by those that attend is precious to me, the board of directors and the staff as well. It’s an effort that helps make MHA’s many services available and accessible to the community.” MHA is a communitybased mental health agency that has been helping Westchester Honoree Andrew Solomon County residents for 67 years through direct services, professional and community education and advocacy. MHA supports 18,000 individuals annually through a comprehensive array of mental health services striving to help each individual to achieve their personal goals and to lead independent and healthy lives.

AN EXHIBIT WITH BARK The eighteen members of longreaCh arTs decided to put together an exhibit centered on a common theme. After careful thought, they chose the tree because “here in the Hudson Valley they surround us and because we love them,” said Carol loiZides, coordinator of the group. And so, “Eighteen Ways of Looking at a Tree,” was born. The show runs Nov. 3-26 in Orange Hall Gallery on the campus of Orange County Community College in Middletown. The exhibit opens with a reception Nov. 3 from 1 to 4 p.m. during which classical guitarist Joy Zelada will provide music. LongReach Arts is celebrating its 31st year. Its roster is made up of some of the foremost artists in the mid-Hudson Valley, including Staats Fasold, Marlene Wiedenbaum, Elisa Pritzker, Jose Gomez, Basha Maryanska, Michelle Squires, Cindy Dill, Stacie Flint, Susan Fowler-Gallagher, Claudia

GET THE JUMP ON A NEW FROG

Orange County Land Trust, SUNY Orange and the New York Natural History Council (NYNHC) will present a lecture by Jay WesTerVeld on the discovery of a new species of frog found on protected lands owned and managed by Orange County Land Trust. The presentation will be held Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Gilman Center at SUNY Orange in Middletown. In “Hiding in Plain Sight: Tracking a New Frog Species in Orange County,” Westerveld, who founded the New York Natural History Council, will discuss the newly described

species, its occurrence in the Hudson Valley, threats to its survival and its global importance. Westerveld and the NYNHC came upon the new frog species unexpectedly in 2012, while conducting an ecological survey of one of the land trust’s 11 nature preserves. “When we think of disappearing frogs and new species, our thoughts typically go to the Amazon,” he said. “But in doing so, we ignore the unique and fragile ‘little jungles’ of our own Hudson Valley.”

ALS WALK RAISES $150K

More than 1,500 people walked together on the Walkway Over the Hudson recently in support of those with ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and their families and to find a cure for the deadly disease. A record 92 fundraising teams raised more than $150,000 at the Walk to Defeat ALS in the Hudson Valley. The event was sponsored by The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter and the Notre Dame Club of the Hudson Valley. The Notre Dame Club launched the first walk in 2009 in honor of former club member Gus Raspitha, who died of ALS earlier that year. Club member les MCCarThy, co-chairman of this year’s event, said he was “overwhelmed” by the support mid-Hudson Valley residents have shown for ALS patients over the past four years. “Since the first walk took place, critical services have become available to our ALS patients and their caregivers, including a patient/nurse coordinator, an equipment-loan program, a support group and transportation to and from ALS clinics in the metropolitan New York area. And soon a local social worker will be added to the staff, all at no cost to the patients,” McCarthy said. “Our hat is off to our Hudson Valley neighbors for their unending support.” For more information or to help, visit als-ny.org or call (212) 619-1400.

NEWSMAKERS plus awards and events Certified enterprise

Above and beyond

DESIGNWORKS NY L.L.C. in Middletown, a marketing and design firm, has received national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Development Center of Pennsylvania, Delaware and southern New Jersey, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

CAROL HOLBERT, an active community member and facilitator of the Orange Regional Medical Center Caregiver Support Group, was presented the Fearless Caregiver Award by the center. “Holbert has demonstrated loyalty, compassion and has gone beyond the call of duty to provide the highest quality of care not only to her own family but the individuals that attend the support group,” according to the hospital. Holbert also served on the ORMC Foundation board of trustees from 20052011.

And the award goes to… THE ORANGE COUNTY PARTNERSHIP will present awards in three categories at its annual event, which will be held Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. at Anthony’s Pier 9 in New Windsor. Maureen Halahan, president and CEO of the organization said, “I am particularly pleased to announce this year’s recipients as they reflect the diversity of economic growth that Orange County is experiencing.” The award winners are: • THE SPIRIT OF INNOVATION AWARD recognizes exceptional initiative that epitomizes the forward-thinking spirit of Orange County.

TOURO COLLEGE will receive this award for its vision of converting the shuttered Horton Hospital building into a medical school that will enhance both economic development and quality of life in the county. • THE GOLDEN SHOVEL AWARD recognizes a vision to further responsible growth that helps strengthen and diversify the economy in Orange County.

Rising stars

Scholarship accounted for

JUSTINE GEISLER, Orange Regional Medical Center nursing director and MIGUEL RODRIGUES, director of safety, security and emergency management at the Middletown hospital, were recently honored as two of Orange County’s rising stars. The awards, presented by its founding organizations, the Junior League of Orange County Inc., Leadership Orange and the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, recognize individuals between the ages of 21 and 40 who are up-and-coming leaders in their professional and volunteer lives. “These two individuals illustrate dedication and commitment to our hospital’s mission and we are proud to work with them every day,” said Scott Batulis, hospital president and CEO. Selection is based on the individual’s professional and volunteer activities, demonstrated leadership and the impact the nominee has had on his/her organization or community.

JUDELSON, GIORDANO & SIEGEL (JGS), an accounting and business- consulting firm in Middletown, has awarded a SUNY Orange accounting student with a scholarship for the 10th consecutive year. GEORGE PONZONI of Middletown received this year’s award. He is in his second year of SUNY Orange’s two-year associate’s degree accounting program and expects to graduate in May 2014. He is planning to either continue his accounting education in a four-year program or begin his accounting career in a junior-level position after graduation. He said he will use the $1,000 award toward his tuition. “I’d like to thank Judelson, Giordano & Siegel very much for being a local firm that is helping out a local student,” Ponzoni said. “The values of this firm are deeply tied to this community, SUNY Orange and the accounting program, which is very much appreciated.”

LOANS ON THE NEW MENU

When saWyer saVings banK PresidenT gabriel soTTile heard longtime restaurateur luigi MaZZella was planning to retire, he had conflicting feelings. Casa Mia, Mazzella’s restaurant, a fixture in Highland for more than 40 years, was one of Sottile’s favorite restaurants. But its location on Route 9W was an ideal spot for a new bank branch. Casa Mia closed its doors over the summer and the site will be transformed into a $2 million, 3,500-square-foot branch of Sawyer Savings. The bank is to open next spring. “I’m going to miss Luigi’s cooking, but we’re pleased to be able to build our new branch on the site,” Sottile said. Mazzella said he too had mixed feelings about leaving a business he loved. A native of Italy who immigrated here

when he was a child, Mazzella built the restaurant shortly after he was discharged from the U.S. Army. “I was designing my first menu when I was still in the service,” he said. The deal transferring the property from Mazzella to Sawyer Savings was brokered by John sChlosser of Quinn Realty Group of Highland. John Quinn, broker/ owner of Quinn Realty Group, said he was glad he was able to help Sawyer Savings find a way to remain in the town. Lloyd Town Supervisor Paul hansuT said he too would miss Mazzella’s cooking at Casa Mia. But he praised Quinn for working to foster economic growth in the town by brokering the deal with Sawyer Savings. “John’s a longtime Highland resident who genuinely cares about the town,” Hansut said.

Chris Gallant & Damian Brown Owners, The Bronx Brewery Bronx, NY Chase Business Clients

The Bronx Brewery’s mission is to bring brewing back to the Bronx. It’s our mission to help.

At Chase, we’ve made it our mission to help businesses like yours and Chris and Damian’s, so you can do more than succeed–so you can thrive. Chase is ready with limited-time financing offers to help you expand, hire, or manage cash flow.
