recession.

Bill Mooney, president of the Westchester County Association, said the WCA has a long history of working collaboratively with government officials and he is optimistic that Obama will work in the best interests of the country.

“He doesn’t have the same issues that he had in his first term,” Mooney said. “Working with Congress was complicated for him. He didn’t have control of it. The electorate spoke rather clearly with where they want to be.”

Mooney hopes the election will bring both parties together to make changes that are in the best interest of the business community.

“If we can do things collaboratively, I am hopeful that it will have a trickle-down effect on the Northeast and Westchester County,” Mooney said. “We have faced unprecedented issues these last several years. We are all struggling through this. We don’t need more polarization; we need somebody to build bridges. This is an opportunity.”

John Ravitz, executive vice president of The Business Council of Westchester, said the Business Council has had strong lines of communications with officials on a local, state and federal level.

“Our legislative agenda is a manuscript and playbook that we give to all elected officials,” Ravitz said. “For Westchester and New York, it’s all about having a level playing field for businesses to stay and grow. There is so much to do.”

Ravitz would like to see the state legislature tackle mandate reform and pension relief.

Restaurant Week forges ahead despite storm fallout

he week began with an invitation.

Residents of Westchester County and the surrounding region are being encouraged to support local eateries during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, a local tradition most foodies look forward to.

This is the first time the event is being held in the fall, but the timing has put a damper on things. Hurricane Sandy’s recent visit has made this celebration of local cuisine difficult for some to be a part of, having wreacked havoc across the region causing suffering in residential and commercial areas throughout the county.

A week after the storm hit, some restaurants had to accept defeat and withdraw from the event’s highly promoted lineup.

Half Moon in Dobbs Ferry cancelled its participation and is only offering patrons a limited menu while it recovers from the storm. In Irvington, the much-beloved Red Hat on the River sustained enough damage to completely shut down the restaurant for the time being. Red Hat was flooded when the surge from the Hudson River poured four to five feet of water onto its first floor, ruining its wood floors and making an abnormal mess of its kitchen.

It’s been a struggle for proprietor Mary Beth Dooley. She co-owns the restaurant with partner Jim Parker and has been overseeing the cleanup effort at the restaurant.

At the same, time she lived without power at her home for several days after the storm.

“It’s a difficult period,” Dooley said.

“Coming home to a freezing house on top of this was a drag.” But her team is forging ahead working relentlessly to get the Red Hat back in form. Dooley says they’ve made progress with help of some friends.

Neighbors in the Bridge Street complex, home to Red Hat, who have power are sharing that blessing. The Red Hat is able to run cables through the yard to power generators, humidifiers and other tools. Workers are busy cleansing and sanitizing the first floor to prepare rebuilding.

Dooley acknowledges it’s a process. She has flood insurance for Red Hat, but she insists they don’t have time to wait for an adjuster to assess the damage and deliver a check. “We’ve had to go, go, go, go, go.

Restaurant Week can get a significant sales boost ranging from a 20 percent to a 200 percent increase, according to Janet Crawshaw, publisher of The Valley Table and founder of Hudson Valley Restaurant Week.

Crawshaw said that people are glad to be getting back to work although this event has running themes of rebuilding and neighborhood support. “There is a great sense of community and hope,” Crawshaw said. “It helps during this period.”

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week started as an event that offered a boost during a typically down time in the restaurant industry. Locals can get a gourmet meal at discount costs and owners enjoy an uptick in the customer volume. Post-Sandy, many proprietors are hoping hungry customers don’t stay home.

Proprietors remain acutely aware of the devastation as most are surrounded by communities that have felt the ill effects of the storm, even if they haven’t been directly impacted.

Cathryn’s Tuscan Grill in Cold Spring is benefiting from being a featured restaurant, but owner Cathryn Fadde is also using this period of increased foot traffic to make difference to those victimized by Hurricane Sandy. Fadde is selling a range of red wines priced between $35 to $185 on a sliding scale and donating a portion of each sale.

“It was a very spontaneous thing,” Fadde said. “(People) just need things. I thought if I could donate so they could (get) some of the necessities it’s better than not doing it.”

Fadde’s goal is to raise $1,000 for those in need. She raised $200 in the first three days. Fadde wants to continue raising money for victims through the sale of wine to the end of restaurant week, and wants to push Hudson Valley wines as part of the effort.

Fadde is optimistic clients will be supportive of both the week and raising money for a noble cause. As she put it, “going out to dinner can take your mind off the misery of the moment.”

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week will continue through Nov. 18.

Elected officials blast utilities

Collaborating in job safety, productivity and efficiency.

s power outages enter into their second week, elected officials are turning up the heat on Consolidated Edison Company of New York Inc. and New York State Electric and Gas Corp.(NYSEG).

More than 110,000 Hudson Valley residents remain without power, as temperatures start to drop below freezing. At his afternoon briefing Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo railed against utility companies and promised that they would be held accountable.

“To say that I am angry, frustrated would be the understatement of the decade,” Cuomo said at the press conference. “I think the utility companies have not performed adequately. I promise the people of this state that they will be held accountable for their lack of performance. These were not Godgiven monopolies.”

County Executive Rob Astorino said he would climb utility poles himself if it would help restore power and agreed with Cuomo that the response was unacceptable.

“There are still about 61,000 customers without power and that is far too many,” Astorino said. “I have told Con Edison and NYSEG that those numbers need to drop dramatically by tomorrow.”

In Yonkers, more than 8,000 residents entered their second week without power.

Mayor Mike Spano said he has frequently heard people ask, “Where is Con Ed?” “It is evident that Yonkers has been overlooked by Con Ed in its restoration efforts since Hurricane Sandy hit,” Spano said.

“Time is overdue for Con Ed to step it up.

Utility companies need to come to terms with the fact that this is a new climate. Con Ed was not prepared.”

Spano called for state officials to hold public hearings about the storm response and said that he looks forward to attending them.

In Greenburgh, Supervisor Paul Feiner has been critical of Con Edison in his many email blasts sent to the public, updating residents about the state of the town. Almost 5,000 residents entered a second week without power.

“Some local governments haven’t even had Con Ed crews assigned to them,” Feiner said on Monday. “Inadequate crews are being sent to local governments to help with restoration of power.”

Feiner said he is becoming stressed out when he gets phone calls from residents with several illnesses.

Closed businesses could storm insurers with claims

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

B

usinesses unable to open due to prolonged power outages, road and masstransit closings and disrupted supply lines in the wake of Hurricane Sandy are expected to file substantial claims for business interruption losses that could be a major headache for insurers and a legal battleground, according to insurance industry experts.

Some analysts have estimated business interruption losses will amount to about 30 percent of total insurance losses. Officials at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty Americas, an international corporate insurer in New York City, said claims for business interruption and contingent business interruption – which insures companies against failures of key suppliers caused by physical damage – typically account for 50 to 70 percent of overall catastrophic losses in the corporate insurance segment.

State and federal officials have not yet tallied or ventured to estimate overall storm damage in the federal disaster area that includes the five New York City boroughs and Westchester, Rockland, Nassau and Suffolk counties. Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane said losses would amount to several billion

dollars in the state.

EQECAT Inc., a catastrophe risk modeling firm, estimated the storm damage on the East Coast at between $10 billion to $20 billion in insured losses and total economic damage at $30 billion to $50 billion.

As of Election Day, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had approved more than $156 million in disaster recovery aid to individuals and families in New York.

More than 123,000 New Yorkers have registered with FEMA for disaster assistance.

The federal lending arm to disasterstricken businesses, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), had issued 22,606 disaster loan applications to businesses in New York state as of Nov. 9. SBA officials said they will not have a county-by-county breakdown of loan applicants until disaster loan approvals begin.

SBA officials said businesses and nonprofit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets damaged or destroyed in the disaster.

The SBA may increase a loan up to 20 percent of the total amount of damage to real estate or leasehold improvements in order for business owners to make improvements that lessen the risk of property damage in future disastrous storms.

The SBA also offers economic injury disaster loans to small businesses and most private nonprofit groups to help with working capital needs related to the disaster. The economic injury loans are available even if a business did not suffer any physical property damage.

Interest rates are as low as 3 percent for nonprofits and 4 percent for businesses with terms up to 30 years. The SBA sets loan amounts and terms based on each applicant’s financial condition.

FEMA has not opened a mobile disaster recovery center in Westchester County; the nearest FEMA center is in Greenwich, Conn.

Business owners are encouraged to apply for SBA assistance online using the agency’s electronic loan application. To apply, visit disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

The SBA filing deadline for loan applications for physical property damage is Dec. 31.

The deadline for economic injury applications is July 31, 2013.

Cuomo announced that the State Liquor Authority (SLA) will extend renewal periods for holders of liquor licenses in Westchester and the entire metropolitan disaster areas to allow businesses to meet filing and payment deadlines. Current licensees due for renewal in October and November will receive an automatic 60-day grace period after the expiration date, during which they may continue

to operate. The governor also announced an extension for the time frames in which retailers can pay distributors for deliveries made just prior to the storm.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will waive fees for businesses and extend application deadlines for state permits for 30 days beginning today. The waivers and extensions will apply to businesses in Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties, Long Island and New York City.

Cuomo said the DEC relief measures will help businesses meet deadlines for submitting permit applications for minor modifications and renewals, obligations in consent orders and payment of regulatory fees.

Hotels attempt to recoup post-Sandy

I

f you contact the Courtyard Marriott in Rye you’ll hear a familiar message.

“Due to Sandy disaster we are unable to take your call.” The hurricane that lasted a few hours left a legacy of destruction that has many commercial businesses enduring their second week of inconvenience and yet-to-be measured profit losses.

The hospitality industry in Westchester County just this year started to shows signs of recovery after being hit hard by the economic downturn. Then came Sandy. The hurricane whipped through the region, causing power outages and flooding buildings as well as homes. Hotels across the county entertained calls from patrons stranded because of the storm.

Daniel Conte, general manager of the Marriott in Tarrytown and head of the Westchester Hotel Association, admitted it has been a challenge. “There’s an endless balance,” Conte said. “We’re replacing the cancellations with local customers, but it’s a mixed bag.”

For the more than 30 members of the association, most have felt some impact from the storm, whether it’s down phone lines or displaced employees. Some hotels

were able to accommodate those who needed a room because they could not remain in their homes, but others were too crippled by the storm’s impact.

Tarrytown House in Dobbs Ferry is known for hosting events for clients ranging from large conference gatherings to

small wedding receptions and bar mitzvahs. But they lost power for five days due to Sandy and were forced to shut down.

Elsewhere, hotels juggled generators and grappled with delayed food delivery, Conte said.

The timing of the storm, months after

many hotels could finally boast about gaining ground lost during the Great Recession, seemed almost cruel. Reports estimate regional hotels suffered 30 percent business losses during that grim financial time.

While it’s still too early to tell how Sandy will impact the long-term financial portrait of hotels countywide, it will be measurable.

Conte said that’s because of the timing of the hurricane. He added, “If it were August we might be able to compensate, but for some hotels the loss of revenues might only show incremental gains to modestly replace the loss.”

Despite the significant financial loss, customers are coping as best they can with moderate levels of inconvenience and many are managing without the comforts of home. It has been, for most in the hotel community, a time to reach out to do whatever needs to be done. Conte admitted he even had to reach out to hotels in New Jersey to provide rooms for customers in need of services he could not provide for the moment. So for now, it’s about looking forward. Though the holidays are typically a slow season in the hotel industry, Conte remains hopeful the hotels that have enjoyed the patronage of locals and tourists visiting the county will be back to business as usual by Thanksgiving.

United Way — ­ From page 1

Most calls came during the day, but at the request of government officials, the United Way’s 2-1-1 regional helpline will be open around the clock at least until Nov. 10 to assist storm victims. By Nov. 5, one week after Sandy ripped through the metropolitan area, the center in White Plains had answered more than 5,000 disaster calls. The United Way’s affiliated website, Hudson211.org, had counted more than 500,000 searches, said United Way spokeswoman Shannon Cobb.

“A lot of people were calling earlier about getting to work,” she said. “That was a big issue, road closures. …We had one woman, her first day of work was the storm. …She was terrified of losing her job.”

Since FEMA declared the region a disaster area eligible for federal funds, 2-1-1 volunteers had been flooded by calls from residents completing disaster assistance applications by phone. “Yesterday we ended with well over 1,000 calls,” Cobb said.

Cobb said United Way of Westchester and Putnam has been helped by more than 70 volunteers at its call center through the disaster recovery. “A lot of the companies we work with have been helping us out by sending employees,” including PepsiCo and IBM, she said. “I was getting calls from people as far away as California. …They want to help.”

But help in another form was needed by the United Way in its role as administrator of the Westchester County Disaster Recovery Fund.

County Executive Robert P. Astorino when creating the fund this month said it would help address longer-term needs of Westchester storm victims that are not covered by insurance, other nonprofit agencies or FEMA and other government agency programs. “A neighbors helping neighbors fund,” said Astorino.

But donations from the county’s corporate neighbors were not flowing to the county fund in its first week.

“A lot of people have donated goods.

United Way of Westchester and Putnam CEO Naomi Adler checks FEMA applications from Hurricane Sandy victims at the United Way call center in White Plains.

Not a lot have donated money,” said Naomi Adler, president and CEO of United Way of Westchester and Putnam. “Both the United Way and the Westchester County Disaster Relief Fund really need funding.”

“I’m a little disappointed that some of our local large corporations” have not made monetary contributions to the county fund, Adler said. “We need the community to be there with us – the corporate community and the individuals.”

Though the United Way center saw only a trickle, donations from businesses flowed more generously to American Red Cross and other national, regional and municipal disaster relief and recovery organizations.

The growing post-storm list of milliondollar corporate donors – 25 as of Nov. 2 – included Connecticut-based General Electric Co., which gave $1 million to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and $100,000 to the United Way of America for distribution to local communities most in need.

New York Life Insurance Co., which last spring opened a new White Plains office and announced expansion plans in Westchester, said it will donate $1 million to Sandy relief efforts, allocating $500,000 to the American Red Cross, $250,000 to the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and $250,000 for local recovery efforts in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

New York Life also will match contributions by its employees, agents and retirees to the American Red Cross or Feeding America, a network of food pantry organizations, with no limitation.

Headquartered in White Plains, Heineken USA pledged to match hurricanerelated employee donations 5-to-1.

In Purchase, MasterCard Inc. pledged $300,000 to the American Red Cross and offered a 2-to-1 match of disaster relief donations from employees. The company also will waive interchange fees on domestic MasterCard transactions in the U.S through Nov. 30.

In Elmsford, the Food Bank for Westchester issued an appeal for funds and noted helpful corporate contributions from Bosca, Dannon, Morgan Stanley, PepsiCo and Pernod Ricard.

In the first major private donations of supplies following the storm, Purchasebased PepsiCo Inc. and Walmart together donated 14 trailer truckloads of food, beverages, cleaning supplies and children’s games to New York state officials.

PepsiCo contributed five trailer truckloads of beverages and three trailer truckloads of snacks totaling more than 100,000 cases of products. The company also committed to donating another 22 trailer truckloads of similar supplies in a one-week span.

Nationwide, the business community as of Nov. 7 had pledged cash and in-kind contributions to the recovery effort exceeding $90 million, according to the Business Civic Leadership Center at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which tracks storm-related corporate donations.

It’s Game On in Greenburgh.

Voters in the town overwhelmingly approved a referendum to allow the town to lease the former Frank’s Nursery site on Dobbs Ferry Road to Game On 365 L.L.C. to build The Westchester Field House.

The referendum passed 66 percent to 34 percent, 7,734 votes to 3,863. The referendum was a hot-button issue in the town, with supporters saying it would create revenue, help

lower taxes and allow for much-needed field space. Opponents have questioned the speed in which the town is entering into the deal and how much traffic it would create.

There have also been concerns that the lease might be illegal, a violation of Westchester County law. Elm Streets Sports Group L.L.C., which runs the House of Sports, a similar facility in Ardsley, filed a lawsuit Oct. 1 in Westchester County Court to block the lease.

County law states that a town must sell any property acquired via tax lien, though town Supervisor Paul Feiner has said that

state law, which allows the town to lease the property, supersedes county law.

Martin Hewitt, CEO of Game On 365, said he was thrilled to have such overwhelming support.

“We have had tremendous support from the beginning and the results last night show that Greenburgh residents are excited to support progress and smart business in their community,” Hewitt said. “Game On 365 is thankful to the residents, Town Council and Supervisor for their continued support. We look forward to bringing The Westchester Field House to Greenburgh.”

Game On Lease approved in Greenburgh

Assessing hurricane’s damage a slow process State monitoring reports of price gouging

By SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

A

s businesses and residents tally their losses, placing a dollar figure on the damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy in Westchester County remains elusive.

One finite figure offered up by the county was $12 million for the damage sustained by Rye Playland where its boardwalk was destroyed.

Prior to Election Day, President Obama declared Westchester a federal disaster area, making it eligible for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The declaration puts into motion longterm federal recovery programs, some of which are matched by state programs and designed to help disaster victims, businesses and public entities.

Donna Greene, a spokeswoman for County Executive Robert Astorino, recommended that businesses and residents register with FEMA as soon as possible and begin documenting any uninsured damage.

Registering for assistance can be done at disasterassistance.gov.

According to FEMA’s website, public assistance is aid to state or local governments to pay part of the costs of rebuilding a community’s damaged infrastructure.

Generally, public assistance programs pay for 75 percent of the approved project costs. Public assistance may include debris removal, emergency protective measures and public services, repair of damaged public property, loans needed by communities for essential government functions and grants for public schools.

For residents, FEMA relief can include disaster housing, disaster grants and lowinterest disaster loans.

In Greenburgh, Town Supervisor Paul Feiner said the damage was “significant,” though he couldn’t put a dollar figure on it.

Feiner said he has swamped with calls and was averaging an email every second.

“We are doing everything we can to help people cope with the disaster and hopefully get power restored quickly,” Feiner said.

The county and municipalities that produce their budgets in the fall could be facing a fiscal crunch when factoring in storm-related costs and the state’s 2 percent tax cap on the tax levy.

Greene said she did not know how this would affect the county’s budget deficit and upcoming budget process. Astorino has said that the county is facing an $86 million budget that could force him to lay off 800 employees.

Feiner said FEMA reimbursements should mean that this would not impact

Some stores might be raising prices to pay for employee’s overtime or to hire extra workers.

“There may be a legitimate reason, but it will all be investigated,” Gray said.

New York state’s Price Gouging Law prohibits merchants from taking unfair advantage of consumers by selling goods or services for an “unconscionably excessive price” during an “abnormal disruption of the market.”

The price gouging law covers New York state vendors, retailers and suppliers, including but not limited to supermarkets, gas stations, hardware stores, bodegas, delis, and taxi and delivery cab drivers.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman urged New Yorkers to call his office at (800) 771-7755 to report a complaint.

An office port for storm’s unplugged

V

era Baker, an independent financial planner, found a port – a USB port – in the wake of the storm that left her without power for more than 10 days and threatened her retirement planning business in Mount Vernon.

Baker, who operates Securities America Inc. from her home in Fleetwood, had been without electricity for several days when she learned about a temporary working solution through the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce. The chamber was working with owners of the extensively renovated Roosevelt Square Professional Office Building to assist small business owners, home-based businesses and entrepreneurs in the city with free Internet access, office space and equipment during the outage.

Once a blighted property in a prominent downtown location, the five-story office building at 11 W. Prospect Ave. reopened last year as a provider of shared business space.

It occupies a corner on the city’s busy civic hub that includes Mount Vernon City Hall and City Court and Mount Vernon Hospital.

The owner, Kerry Development L.L.C. in Yonkers, paid $1.65 million to acquire the building four years ago. Partners have invest-

ed $1.5 million to $2 million in renovations, said Kenneth Plummer, a minority partner in the Roosevelt Square office business and owner of Kensworth Consulting.

“It was a hellhole,” Plummer said of the building’s condition when acquired by the new owners, who also operate Kerry Realty and Kerry Catskills, luxury log-home rental properties in rural Delaware County.

The building currently is only 25 percent leased by businesses renting permanent, temporary or virtual office space, said Plummer.

He is leading a rebranding effort for the building. “We’re going to make it a regional center where forward thinkers and creative individuals can collaborate and network,” he said.

Plummer said he wanted to create “a loving business environment” at the Roosevelt Square building. “From a business standpoint, we’re looking to be the center of business in Mount Vernon.”

For shared office space, “This is the only game in town,” said Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce President Frank Fraley. The chamber, operating without a physical office, is preparing to open new headquarters in a former bank building at 66 Mount Vernon Ave. that the chamber acquired from the city in foreclosure.

“This office has been a huge asset to entrepreneurs like myself,” said Fraley, whose company, Noah Consulting Inc., pursues property tax reductions for commercial and residential clients. Since its office doors were opened to storm victims, “So far several members of this community have had the opportunity to keep their businesses going,” he said.

“It’s a great building,” said attorney Danna Wood, who rents a permanent office in the Mount Vernon center and a virtual office in White Plains. “It has all the amenities.”

“This building I see as a strong statement about Mount Vernon and its ability to welcome and accommodate professionals,” said Wood.

Preparing for the next one I know it’s like closing the barn door after the horses got loose, but this isn’t going to be our last disaster. What can I do to prepare my business for the next disruption?

Thoughts of the day: Build a disaster plan involving everyone in the business. Make a list of things that have to be taken care of.

Use recent experiences as training events.

Whether man-made or caused by natural forces, disruptions to our businesses will keep on coming. Some are unique to individual businesses such as illness or death. Other times we find ourselves digging out from under storm damage. And then there are the disasters caused by people we work with – intentional and unintentional.

Different parts of the business have different needs and challenges. Salespeople can’t get to sales meetings, can’t close business and lose focus as they get caught up in the drama unfolding inside and outside the company.

Marketing loses momentum and impact as prospects focus on immediate needs.

Finance has to deal with cash-flow issues.

ask andi by andi gray

Ongoing expenses drain funds while client payments dry up and new sales slow to a trickle. Operations needs adequate workspace, equipment, electricity and computer connectivity to function. Repairing damage comes before ramping up production. Any slowdown in operations further hurts finances as future invoices are tied to work delivered.

Employees who can’t get to work have to be replaced or done without. Critical functions, handled by one person, become a liability as new people step in to figure out what to do without anyone to train them. Employees who are hard hit need support to help them cope personally.

Take a look at disasters and recovery plans impacting businesses in your area and your industry. If you belong to an industry association, ask it to form a task force to work on a comprehensive disaster preparedness plan. Here’s a list to get you started.

• Build up reserves to between three and six months of operating cash.

• Write out an emergency financing plan; line up financing before disaster strikes; know where to go and what to present to get access to additional backup funds in case of a major business disruption.

• Build a sales force capable of selling beyond your local geography – rarely do disasters impact the whole country at once; have a rapid sales ramp-up plan, and define assignments from outside sales to help implement the plan.

• Plan how to shift marketing message to disaster solutions locally; be ready to target areas of the country not under duress.

• Practice emergency marketing activities, including speaking to the press, customers and prospects about the status of your company.

• Put someone in charge of communicating who can gather and disseminate information accurately and appropriately; have a Twitter account and build connections before disaster strikes.

• Gather employees’ emergency contact information; assign someone to make contact; decide how you plan to help people with basic needs of food, shelter, water, heat, clothing and showers.

• Plan for physical interruptions: natural gas for internal power, generators for electricity and heat, emergency gas supply for automobiles, alternate workspace.

• Join forces with other companies to pool resources.

• Secure paperwork and ensure IT sys-

tems and records are accessible even if your building isn’t; check your IT provider’s uptime record during disasters.

• Check insurance policies – business interruption, physical damage, loss of life and liability.

• Cross train every position and prepare procedure manuals, assign disaster roles and backups.

• Assign someone to tap into emergency resources – start with SBA.gov, ASBDC-US. org, FEMA.gov and local first responders.

View disaster preparedness as a process, not an event. As the company goes through a disruption pull out the plan and use it. Do a postmortem on what worked and what needs to be added for next time.

Rockland communities continue post-storm recovery

C

ars and garages crushed by trees.

Roads blocked by hanging limbs and wires. Flooded basements and rescues by boats. As recovery from the physical destruction from Hurricane Sandy slowly progresses in towns throughout Rockland County, the businesses and restaurants in Piermont remain particularly hard hit.

High tides and surges from the Hudson River turned Piermont Avenue into a virtual river itself and left behind flooded basements of shops, restaurants and homes. On Election Day afternoon, electricity was back for some, not all. The Community Market was open with a generator-powered floodlight providing the only illumination as Chris Ham, whose family owns the shop, said “We’re waiting for power to get restored” while basement cleanout continued. Across the street, Casey Chamberlin, the general manager of Xaviars at Piermont and Freelance Café, was leading a makeshift team of the restaurants’ cooks and other employees as their own recovery continued. “Down River Road here,” he said motioning northward, “boats washed up. We lost a dozen homes. We’re just cleaning out everything.” The sense of determination and community was echoed by a sign at the entrance of the Abigail Rose boutique, which encouraged everyone to “continue to help each other out.”

Better plans for better recovery

urricane Sandy knocked out power and destroyed homes, cars and municipalities. For companies that didn’t plan in advance, the damages could prove very costly.

The Sept. 11 attacks and disasters like Hurricane Katrina have educated businesses on the importance of backing up data and making sure they have contingencies in place, so they can still function when power is out at the home office, or when employees are unable to get to work. But most businesses still don’t get the message.

Dan Rosenbaum runs Real Time Computer Services Inc., a small IT consulting firm based in Ardsley. He said most of his clients don’t do enough to prepare and wind up calling him for help after disaster strikes.

“Companies need to treat it like an insurance policy,” Rosenbaum said. “You need to make the determination of what you have to do ahead of a disaster. You need to determine what critical aspects have to keep going and make those plans.”

If a company’s data or encryption is deleted, it can be a catastrophe, which is why it’s important for companies to have backups. Disaster after disaster has taught Rosenbaum to be prepared.

“We must have access to computers, phone and Internet service,” Rosenbaum said. “After a winter storm knocked out service to Westchester, we invested in our business to put in place a natural gas generator that supports our clients. We have separate Internet circuits coming in.”

Rosenbaum lost power, but a generator ran his business for four days. He said most clients simply don’t or won’t put the investment into their business to keep it running.

“There has to be a business justification,” Rosenbaum said. “With technology, you can do anything with enough time and enough money but no one has enough of either. If everyone had tons of money to spend, they would go ahead and build disaster sites.”

Sandy will probably cause companies to rethink their disaster plans, Rosenbaum believes, particularly with so many factors that caused companies to have some form of service out.

“How much interruption can you withstand before you impact your own business?”

Rosenbaum said. “You don’t know how bad a disaster is going to be. The better plan, the more readily you recover. If you don’t have backups in the office that could determine how long you’re out of the office.”

Compufit Computer Corp. L.L.C., based out of Pleasantville, faced a similar situation as Real Time Computer Services in the wake of Sandy.

Leading up to the storm, the company advised its clients to shutdown its services.

Dan Lansen of Compufit said that a lot of companies have disaster recovery plans but

lack a business continuity plan.

“Some have solutions in place,” Lansen said. “But it can be very expensive.”

To establish a business continuity plan, Compufit partners with data centers so they can replicate a business environment to a data center and allow clients to access to their data. In a disaster recovery plan, the company makes sure its data is secure and stored in an offsite facility or the data is stored on a server that is not in a region impacted by a disaster.

“Disaster recovery can be fairly easy to implement,” John Nunes of Compufit said.

While Compufit itself was not impacted,

Nunes and Lansen said it has been mayhem since Sandy hit.

“People experienced significant damage to work facilities,” Lansen said. “A lot of our clients experienced outages so if even if their Internet is up, well if the power is out, then they are out of luck.”

In the wake of Sandy, Lansen believes that more companies will develop a continuity plan, realizing that it justifies the return on investment, particularly with widespread prolonged power outages.

“I think the lesson learned here is that business continuity is something you need to

prepare for ahead of storms like Sandy, not after,” Lansen said.

Xand, a data center and managed-xservices provider based out of Hawthorne, rents seats on a monthly basis in its business continuity center in the wake of emergency. The company also has an office in Waterbury, Conn. Xand said that 150 more people than usual were working out of the company’s centers.

“I think this was a wakeup call to a lot of businesses,” Xand Vice President Ralph Thomas said. “They need to have a business continuity plan formulated and action plan in place.”

ark Plansky, owner of Heritage Carpet, a Poughkeepsie flooring store, was headed for a career in research when he emerged from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1976.

Times were tough in that era, the new graduate discovered, with long gas lines and a sluggish economy. Research jobs were scarce. “So, I decided to get a year’s business experience,” he said, and took a job with a Bronx carpeting firm.

The experience led him to open Heritage Carpet in l984, which has since remained at the same location on Route 9 opposite the Poughkeepsie Galleria.

Plansky is grateful for his repeat customers and referrals, as he’s again in a recession era, fighting what he calls “the perfect storm.” Small retail businesses are facing a trio of problems, he pointed out: the present economy, big-box stores and the Internet.

People are still decorating, but on a smaller and more selective scale, he noted. “Young couples appreciate the personal attention they receive from the Heritage employees, some there since the start of the business and others for nearly a decade,” he said.

Plansky has an enthusiastic partner in his wife, Elaine. “We have been married for 40 wonderful years,” he said. She handles the operation’s advertising and business end, while he meets with representatives of carpet companies and importers and does the buying.

The company’s sphere of operations stretches from Manhattan to Albany and into Connecticut. “It’s about making a house

a home,” Plansky said.

“The floor industry has changed drastically over the past three decades,” he continued.“Wallto-wall carpeting was the fashion statement of the eighties and early nineties,” and Plansky said it’s making a comeback for bedrooms because it is more sanitary and warmer than the wood or laminate preferences of a decade ago.

Heritage Carpet boasts worldwide imports. “The old-world hand weaving and hand knotting have become more industrialized, especially in India and China,” he said.

“The cottage industries are things of the past.”

Heritage staff members find themselves counseling customers whose discretionary funds are more limited than before. “Instead of coming in to fix up four bedrooms at one time, customers will fix up one and then return when they can afford to fix up another,” Plansky said.

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.

in brief Retail hiring flat

Payrolls grew more than expected in October, with retail hiring among the primary drivers of employment growth.

However, a new report suggests seasonal hiring was largely unchanged compared to a year ago.

Global employment firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. said that while several national retail chains have announced plans to hire more seasonal workers than they took on in 2011, retail hiring in October was just slightly better than last year and was significantly behind the pace set in October 2010.

According to the Chicago-based firm, the 130,100-job uptick in the retail sector just barely topped the 128,900-job increase experienced within the retail sector in October 2011. In comparison, retailers created 149,800 jobs in October 2010, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Overall, private employers added 184,000 jobs in October, the most since February, while the unemployment rate increased slightly to 7.9 percent according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

BLS reported retail hires were the highest for any one month since April 2011.

of 582,000 such workers in September, according to the BLS. Average hourly earnings climbed by 1.6 percent in October compared to a year ago.

Lawyers aid Sandy victims

The New York State Bar Association is offering free legal advice from volunteer lawyers to victims of Hurricane Sandy.

priate patient care.

The PCMH is a medical home that employs a team of physicians and clinicians within a medical practice. WESTMED Medical Director Barney Newman revealed there are 69 doctors and four clinicians on the team. They work collectively to provide ongoing care for patients in need of this specialized service. This provision is touted as being proactive because it offers continuous attention to patients instead of the standard episode-based treatment.

Terry Golash, M.D., Aetna senior medical director, said this medical method of care “can support improvements in care quality, positively impact member health and reduce medical costs through better efficiency and data sharing.”

Aetna started supporting the medical home concept early on, and it remains a charter member of the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC).

This is the first PCMH agreement for Aetna in Westchester County, N.Y.

Technology: Creating barriers or relationships?

O

rganizations in the same business either file for bankruptcy or continue growing by embracing customer preference changes caused by technology, or by ignoring them. A few, such as Timbuck2 and Barnes & Noble, have thrived due to the level of customer engagement their technology has facilitated.

According to a recent report by Forrester Research, “95 percent of consumers consider all advertising claims dishonest or inauthentic.” Forrester didn’t say that 95 percent of your advertising claims are dishonest or inauthentic. They said that’s what the people you’re trying to sell to think.

The research clearly shows that consumers want to be engaged with the products and services they purchase and not just simply buy them. The intelligent use of technology is the key. According to Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li, authors of “Groundswell,” “Consumers do trust brands that truly empathize with their needs.” Companies must be respectful of consumers and engage them as value cocreators rather than passive users.

But how? By removing the technological barriers created and allowing people to talk with people. The telephone menu options that we “must listen to because they have recently changed” should be the first to go. The tedious processes and levels of management a customer must struggle through in order to resolve a complaint should be next. Although customers continue to scream that they want “relationships,” business continues building barriers to prevent them.

Replace the barriers with investments in smart people and smart technology – the technologies and people that give customers what they want – that allow them to co-create your product or service, by asking for, getting and reacting to customer feedback. Invite a conversation either online, in person or on the phone. What are people saying about your offerings on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media?

In the book “Get Lucky,” authors Thor Muller and Lane Becker describe how a company was able to add another very successful product line by simply engaging, listening and reacting to a customer’s feedback. Timbuck2 is a very successful company that makes rugged bike messenger bags for a niche market: young people who the authors describe as living a “hip,

HV

urban, cutting-edge” lifestyle.

A customer became a new mother and asked if Timbuck2 would make a diaper bag. As Timbuck2 explored the request, they found that other customers had already modified or “hacked” their bags for that purpose and had posted pictures on their websites showing how they had modified the cell phone holder to accommodate a bottle and the note pad holder to hold two diapers. Technology facilitated their shift.

Borders and Barnes & Noble both saw a shift in customer preference driven in great part by online giant Amazon. Instead of embracing the possibility of future webbased commerce, Borders decided to spend billions of dollars renovating their brick-

and-mortar stores and vastly increase its selection of merchandise. Borders filed for bankruptcy.

Barnes & Noble started to invest in its own online store while continuing their mega brick-and-mortar operations.

By accepting the change in their customers’ preferences to e-commerce, Barnes & Noble asked how new technology could help them compete. That question helped them develop the Nook and go head-tohead with Amazon’s Kindle.

No one will continue to enjoy future success by ignoring customer preference changes caused by technological advances as demonstrated by the stories of Timbuck2, Barnes & Noble and Borders. Recognize that the use of technology can help or hurt

a company by either creating barriers or facilitating engagement and building relationships.

Questions for discussion: What technological barriers have we inadvertently created for customer engagement?

Will technology cause further customer behavioral preferences? What will they be?

Hurricane highlights power of social media

D

HV

o you ever get tired of watching news correspondents standing in water or literally be blown in the wind? I do.

Somehow, I don’t need someone standing in the rain to tell me that it’s wet outside. Nor do I care if the water they are standing in is an extra two feet deep.

Maybe they’re just standing in a hole. What I do want to know about are the weather conditions before they occur and most notably, when they occur.

This on-the-spot reporting has rapidly become the province of social media, particularly Twitter. According to Twitter, more than 20 million tweets between Oct. 27 and Nov. 2 relating to sandy, hurricane, #sandy, #hurricane were posted on its platform. On a live and very personal basis, Twitter allowed its users to get a blow-by-blow description of Sandy’s progress and impact. With images and brief descriptions, Twitter users were able to describe the conditions they had to endure in a far more informative and personal manner than could any reporter, no matter how deep or windy the conditions they were currently enduring. Even without electricity, people were using social media to discuss the storm and their immediate condition.

Similar peaks of use in Facebook also occurred at the height of Sandy’s power. One fan page, Hurricane Sandy Acts of Kindness, that was set up in the aftermath of the hurricane has grown quickly and includes many stories of compassion and people extending a helping hand to those in more need. Some of these stories are truly touching.

As much as it tries, however, social media cannot fully compensate for the importance of human interaction. Since my daughter is special needs and looks forward for several months to Halloween and with my area without power, we set out to find a location with both power and trick-or-treaters. We found a very wealthy area in Connecticut and spent two hours going from house to house with a horde of children. What I found particularly noteworthy was that while these very wealthy people were only allowing the trick-or-treaters one piece of candy, the one person who was very generous and told my daughter she could take several pieces of candy was the person who could least afford it, living in a small, second-floor apartment with a linoleum floor. Although you could make the case that everyone who was giving out candy was being generous, the image of

this person and her generosity will be forever seared in my memory; the differentiation was that noteworthy.

Maybe this is one of the true roles of social media – as the great equalizer. It doesn’t matter how much money or power you have in the building of an Internet pres-

People can’t see your money or anything else about you, only what information and insights you decide to post. What made the tweets and posts concerning Sandy so poignant were that they were real people talking about real situations they encountered.

In several ways, they were both generous and giving, demonstrating the same traits as that woman on Halloween.

Social media allows us to communicate with potentially millions of people on a daily basis. It provides a great platform to grow a business, improve a brand or to even simply meet new people. Most importantly, however, it levels the playing field and allows both individuals and companies to stand out and shine.

Blueprint accelerates Westchester

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

I

n 2012, the Westchester County Association’s Blueprint Accelerator Network L.L.C. was in the planning stages. In 2013, it will be about implementation.

The Westchester County Association (WCA) has said since the network was launched in March, a tremendous amount has been accomplished with hundreds of people collaborating to advance Westchester’s economic interest.

“We’ve attracted significant investments,” said Marissa Brett, executive director, economic development at the WCA. “We’re nurturing promising companies.”

The Blueprint Accelerator Network, one of Westchester’s first economic development initiatives led by the private sector, is designed to make Westchester a competitive business center. It’s a multiyear, multimillion dollar campaign working in collaboration with real estate, business, government and Westchester’s 14 colleges.

“How do we revitalize the Westchester economy?” Brett said. “We’ve been working on those issues, rezoning, repurposing and working with municipalities. They need to realize that the demands from yesterday are not here and we need to reposition our assets to attract the demand of tomorrow.”

With Westchester’s 6 million square feet of available office space, the blueprint has formed partnerships with real estate owners to donate real estate space, including free rent in year one, 50 percent off in year two and then a deal at market value after that.

Companies involved in the accelerator network have access to professional services, accounting firms, law firms and search optimization firms, among others.

“We run the gamut across those industries,” Brett said.

“We offer 100 billable hours for free. It’s another huge significant savings. These companies that are struggling to get from A to B can leap over to the next level.”

In the eight months since the blueprint formed, one million square feet of vacant commercial inventory was removed. The WCA has also hosted city showcases, including one for White Plains that attracted 150 brokers and others to learn what the city had to offer.

“It was a tremendous success,” Brett said. “(White Plains Mayor) Tom Roach came out and said that it was the first time the city had been promoted on this scale and the impact was terrific. They got leads for businesses that wanted to expand and development opportunities.”

A similar showcase was held for New Rochelle and a showcase is set for Yonkers in April. To improve the climate for small businesses, the blueprint has campaigned against unfunded mandates and advocated reforming the State Environmental Quality Review Assessment (SEQRA).

“They needlessly hinder economic development,” Brett said. “It’s a collaborative effort to streamline processes that hinder economic development.”

In 2013, Brett wants to ensure the network continues to be a success by working with companies to help them grow in Westchester while improving the county’s infrastructure.

“Hurricane Sandy brought to light that we have severe

infrastructure issues,” Brett said. “How do we deal with them?

We have to have a conversation about real solutions. We have a strong focus on working to transform Westchester’s towns and cities as havens for young professionals.”

The blueprint is also hoping to showcase Westchester as an destination for international businesses. Brett said this is

“We’ve attracted significant investments. We’re nurturing promising companies.”

— Marissa Brett, executive director, economic development, Westchester County Association

something that was sorely needed, particularly to be done by the private sector.

“Government doesn’t have the funding to do this,” Brett said. “It is critically important to help grow the economy here.

We’ve seen many businesses that have left the county. We have to make sure that we are attracting and working with the existing businesses we have to help them grow.”

Brett said it is important that the county remain competitive with not just Fairfield County and New Jersey, but in the country and the world.

“We will do everything we can to make sure that Westchester can be competitive,” Brett said.

Community Capital offers low interest loans post-Sandy

By SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

I

n the wake of Hurricane Sandy, small business needs all the help it can get.

Community Capital New York, a Hawthorne-based nonprofit microfinance agency that serves the Hudson Valley, said it would fast-track small business loans to help community businesses address the devastating effects of Sandy.

President Obama has declared Westchester a federal disaster area, meaning that businesses are eligible for aid from FEMA. But Community Capital Executive Director Kim Jacobs said that the FEMA process may be lengthy, and with the holiday season around the corner, businesses cannot afford to wait.

“A lot of small entrepreneurs are not in great shape going into the holiday season,” Jacobs said. “Going into the holidays, you need to be hitting on all cylinders. That is when businesses make most of their money.

They call it Black Friday for a reason. If there is a way we can help them be in great shape, we are eager to find a way to do that.”

Jacobs said that while many businesses

18 November 12, 2012 • WCBJ • HV Biz

did not lose power or incur any damages, their customers did, reducing a business’s clientele as storm recovery continues.

“There are businesses that never needed a loan in the past but might want one now and didn’t even know about this resource,” Jacobs said.

To apply for a loan, businesses should first contact Community Capital at (914) 747-8020. Businesses must be in the Hudson Valley, owned by someone over 21 and have a credit score over 600.

After filling out an application, businesses must meet with the company’s loan committee, and then will hear a decision within 24 hours.

“We work quickly and take an allhands-on-deck approach,” Jacobs said.

“We’re going to work hard to get you much needed funds and get you back to work restoring your business to sound footing.”

Community Capital provides loans up to $50,000 with an interest rate of 7.75 for terms of up to five years. The funds can be used for equipment, marketing, inventory, working capital, licensing, fees, leasehold improvements and similar expenses.

Jacobs said she has never seen a storm

do more damage to businesses than Sandy has. Community Capital serves Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange and Ulster counties.

Buffalo-based M&T Bank Corp. announced Nov. 1 that it is will be offering small businesses discount rates on lines of credit and loans.

M&T Bank business customers who require payment assistance on existing loans, or would like information about U.S. Small Business Administration Disaster Recovery Loans, should contact their business banking relationship manager or branch manager.

Consumers in impacted areas unable to meet their monthly M&T loan payment may request late fees to be waived or discuss other payment arrangements by contacting M&T’s customer service at (800) 724-2525.

“This was one of the worst storms to ever hit some of the communities served by M&T Bank along the East Coast. We’ve moved to reopen our branches as quickly as possible and our staff members are working hard to help businesses, families and individuals get back on their feet,” said M&T Bank President Mark Czarnecki in a

press release.

Customers Bank, which has a local branch in Rye Brook, announced Nov. 5 it is offering no-fee relief loans to businesses and individuals who need financing for cleanup, repairs and other needs due to the storm.

Customers are being encouraged to take advantage of the loans which are offered with a fixed interest rate of 4.5 percent or a flexible rate at prime with a cap of 4.99 percent. The maximum loan amount businesses can obtain is $100,000, with a minimum loan level of $10,000.

Those who qualify for the program can get up to a seven-year term, with a two-year interest-only advance period. After that, the balance will automatically term out for the rest of the loan period.

The program offers borrowers “very attractive rates” according to Warren Taylor, president of community banking for Customers Bank.

Additional loan terms and conditions may be applicable to the relief loans. For more information about the relief loans go to customersbank.com or contact a local bank branch.

Kickin’ in

Web platform aids startups from a dollar to thousands

BY PATRICK GALLAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

R

ay Sands is all about Chicago.

Sands is seeking to open a mobile food truck in the Danbury, Conn. area that would serve Windy City fare, ranging from hot dogs to cheese dogs, chili dogs, Italian sausages and soda – or pop, as they call it in the Midwest.

In order to help raise the $80,000 Sands estimates it will take to repair and outfit his food truck, hire and train employees and obtain the necessary state licenses, he went to Kickstarter.

Founded in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Kickstarter Inc. is a web-based crowd funding platform that launched in April 2009, aiming to connect inspiring entrepreneurs with motivated financial backers.

The catch?

Kickstarter is not an investment platform and cannot be used to offer financial returns or equity of any kind, or to solicit loans. And there are few guarantees.

The platform allows benefactors to make pledges ranging from $1 to thousands of dollars toward causes, artists and budding business owners in exchange for gifts based on the level of any given donation.

The theory is simple: If a project meets its fundraising goal within a set period of time, the credit cards and checking accounts of the individuals who pledged their support are charged, according to the company.

If a project fails to meet its fundraising goal, no one is charged and no gifts are delivered.

To date, 76,500 projects have been launched on Kickstarter, including hundreds in Fairfield County.

About 44 percent of all projects that are launched have successfully met their fundraising goal, raising a total of $348 million, Kickstarter says.

Of the 32,049 successful projects, 3,772 raised less than $1,000; 21,736 raised between $1,000 and $9,999; 3,858 raised between $10,000 and $19,999; 2,344 raised between $20,000 and $99,999; 324 raised between $100,000 and $999,999; and 15 raised more than $1 million.

In an October interview with Time magazine, Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler said the typical project raises $5,000 and is supported by about 85 people. “So you can learn the first names of

the people who got you started,” Strickler told Time.

The company has continued its rapid expansion, announcing Oct. 31 that the platform is now open to projects based in the U.K. In the case of Sands’ Chicago Beef & Dogs venture, a benefactor who pledges $25 or more is promised a Chicago-style sandwich, with increasingly valuable gifts for pledges all the way up to $5,000.

Benefactors who give $5,000 or more to Sands’ venture will be treated to a home visit where Sands will personally demonstrate how to cook and prepare his various menu items.

“The mobile kitchen I am purchasing is in need of a bit of help, and that is why I am here asking all the amazing people that support this website and the projects (passions) that are developed through their generosity (for assistance),” Sands, of Sherman, Conn., wrote on his Kickstarter posting.

Sands’ project launched Oct. 15 and fundraising concludes Nov. 14.

Prior to having their ventures listed on Kickstarter, project sponsors are required to set a fundraising goal – often ranging from a few hundred dollars to $10,000 or more – and to determine a specific time window during which they may solicit pledges.

If, and only if, project sponsors meet or exceed their fundraising goal, contributors’ credit cards and checking accounts will be charged and project sponsors will theoretically proceed to deliver on their promised gifts.

There are no mechanisms built into Kickstarter that compel project sponsors to deliver on the promised gifts if their project meets its fundraising goal.

According to Time, a company called ZionEyez, which planned to market a pair of eyeglasses with a built-in high definition video camera, raised more than $343,000 from 2,000-plus benefactors in the summer of 2011.

However, the company fell off the map, and while it issued an apology to its backers, it neither delivered pairs of the eyeglasses that were promised nor issued refunds.

Based on a study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, those instances are rare, with just 3.6 percent of those projects studied resulting in refunds or project sponsors that ceased communications with their backers altogether.

Walkway event inspires

More than 1,400 participants raised $152,583 on the Walkway Over the Hudson Sunday Oct. 21 to support those afflicted with ALS – commonly called Lou Gehrig’s disease – and their families. Teams came from Fishkill, Poughquag, Washingtonville and Poughkeepsie, among others. Here are the stories behind a few of the teams.

Waves of Caring team was headed by Laura Wolfe of Fishkill in honor of her mother Maryann Morgan, also of Fishkill, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2008. Her condition

has deteriorated to the point that she now requires a ventilator 24/7 and 24-hour care.

Haile Raisers, formed in memory of Larry Haile of Poughquag and headed by Michael Del Vecchio raised nearly $10,000 and had the second-largest team with 74 members.

Diagnosed with ALS in January, Haile lost his battle in September. He fought courageously for eight months even as his condition rapidly progressed. It was incredibly important to him that people learn more about this rare disease.

Mother Pfeffer team, headed by Jackie Pfeffer of Washingtonville, was formed in memory of Debbie Pfeffer who was diagnosed with ALS in the spring of 2011. A registered nurse and then a stay-at-home mom for three children, Pfeffer spent several years working as a home health aid to hospice patients in New York, before moving to Georgia in 2005 to take care of her elderly mother full time.

Late in 2010, she noticed limited mobility in her right foot and after multiple tests came the ALS diagnosis – the gravity of which, a woman who had devoted years of her life to medicine was painfully aware of.

Walk for Christie, formed in honor of Christie Rizzuto, has Brian Convery of Poughkeepsie as its captain and has the distinction of being the highest fundraising team with nearly $50,000 raised so far and the largest team with 99 team members.

Rizzuto was diagnosed approximately two years ago ALS. Given the progressive nature of the disease, Rizzuto is pursuing medical alternatives to combat it and slow it down. She remains the bright, caring and supportive person she has always been.

New youth soccer fund

The Pine Bush Youth Soccer Club Fund has been established as a component charitable fund of the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan.

The Pine Bush Youth Soccer Club, a longstanding and very successful organization in Pine Bush committed to youth in the local soccer program has provided awards over the past 15 years to graduating students of Pine Bush Central School District and for other worthy community projects.

Now the Club is partnering with the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan now to perpetuate its good work.

George Varianides, director of the club, said: “Every year we make awards to students who are graduating from Pine Bush High School that have participated in the Pine Bush Youth Soccer Program at least one year in grades K-12. Recently, due to the economic climate, the club has looked for alternative ways to supplement their efforts in providing these awards. By partnering with the Community Foundation, this fund will grow and perpetuate many generations of future awards. The club also plans to continue their active fundraising efforts to give back to the community and make these awards.”

Karen VanHouten Minogue, Community Foundation executive director, said: “We are delighted to administer the

Pine Bush Youth Soccer Club Fund for its charitable work.

Under the umbrella of the Community Foundation we will manage this charitable fund along with its 140 other charitable funds. The Community Foundation handles all of the investing, fiscal reporting and administration for each charitable fund, thereby allowing more dollars to flow toward grants and scholarships.”

Art at the bank

Ulster Savings Bank is hosting an art exhibit at its Main Street branch in Windham through March 31, 2013. Titled “As We See It,” it is a joint photography exhibit by local artists Francis X. Driscoll, Shannon O’Hara and Bruce LaPierre.

A self-taught photographer, Driscoll has won several awards for his nature photography and his work has appeared in many publications, including National Geographic Explorer and Cynthia Dantzic’s art book, “100 New York Photographers.” His photography has been featured in corporate collections, the textbooks of Harcourt Publishing and myriad travel brochures and magazines. He also has experience in commercial photography, with clients such as Daimler Chrysler, Benjamin Moore Paints and Michelin Tires.

Driscoll’s primary subject remains the Catskill Forest Preserve and he continues to lead hikes, conduct workshops and give private instruction. His book, “Images of the Northern Catskills,” is a celebration of his work.

O’Hara has spent the last decade capturing the beauty of the Catskills through her exquisite photography. More recently, her style and skill has been used on a more intimate level with wedding and personal portrait photo sessions. Her image, “Iced Berries” – shot in Windham – received recognition from National Geographic magazine in 2009.

She is a member of the Windham Arts Alliance and the Greene County Council of the Arts.

LaPierre has been a photographer for more than 30 years.

He began his worldwide photographic journey as a high school student.

He specializes in large format landscapes, wildlife, and journalistic images employing a wide range of photography techniques from black and white to high dynamic range panoramas. He produces these images on media including canvas, cotton, metallic and traditional photographic paper.

For more information concerning the reception or art exhibit, please contact JoAnna Schmidt, Windham branch manager, at (518) 734-5315, ext. 6660.
