Operation Oswego County: An Economic and Job Development Corporation Serving Oswego County

O

By L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, executive director, Operation Oswego County

peration Oswego County (OOC) is a private, nonprofit organization that works to enhance and protect the business and industrial climate of Oswego County. To achieve that goal, we provide comprehensive assistance to existing businesses and those seeking to locate here.

OOC is a full-service economic development organization ready to serve businesses, whether they are developing a business plan, looking for the best site or searching for financing or other assistance.

OOC’s primary objectives are to help create new job opportunities, retain employment, build a broader real property tax base, diversify the economy and improve the area’s quality of life all through a planned, organized and environmentally friendly economic development process. Since 1953, we have helped deliver over $3.9 billion in investments and more than 22,810 new and retained jobs to Oswego County.

We have grown from a local, voluntary, community-spirited development organization to becoming a county-wide proactive economic development arm. We are guided by a board of directors made up of community-minded people from business, industry, labor, education, agriculture and government throughout Oswego County.

We are primarily funded by voluntary contributions and local, state and federal government support.

As a county-wide, comprehensive economic development organization, we can provide, among other things: • Site Selection Assistance. An inventory of industrial sites and available buildings enables us to find homes for new businesses quickly.

• Financial Packaging. We help firms access appropriate financing from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Empire State Development Corporation, the County of Oswego Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and other state, local and federal financing sources. We also help firms secure bank financing which is always the primary source of funds for most projects.

8

• Planning and Coordination. We can help firms with permitting, zoning and coordinating activities with state and local agencies.

• Industry/Government Liaison. OOC serves as a liaison between firms and governmental agencies.

• Assistance in Accessing Special Incentive Programs. We can help eligible businesses receive real property tax abatements, sales tax exemptions, job training, low interest financing, state grants and tax credits, utility incentives and more.

• Retention/Expansion Outreach Programs.

OOC is focused on helping existing employers with expansion initiatives as well as in overcoming barriers that may be impeding business success.

• Specialized Research and Technical Assistance. We provide businesses with information and data to assist in decision making.

OOC coordinates and implements special economic development initiatives to enhance the potential to create and retain jobs in Oswego County. Some of these initiatives include: • Industrial Parks. OOC operates five industrial/business parks in Oswego County — the Oswego County Industrial Park in Schroeppel, the Airport Industrial Park in Volney, the Lake Ontario Industrial Park in the city of Oswego, the Columbia Mills Business Park in Minetto and the Peck Road Industrial Site in the Town of Richland.

Other sites around the county are currently being studied for potential business parks.

• Business Incubators. The Business Expansion Center in the city of Oswego is designed to help non-retail, industrial and service businesses achieve significant growth and development during the first few years of business with the intention of eventually relocating into private commercial space. Plans are being formulated on establishing another incubator facility in the Oswego County Industrial Park in Schroeppel and converting the 42,000 sq.ft. former Price Chopper building in the City of Oswego into a small business incubator.

• Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Program. OOC can help new and expanding businesses obtain Minority and Women Business Enterprises state

designation, as well as other necessary development support.

• SBA Certified Development Company.

OOC is authorized to finance projects using the SBA 504 loan program which can fund up to 40 percent of fixed asset financing for eligible businesses at below market rates.

• USDA IRP Program. The IDA in cooperation with USDA has established a short term financing program for working capital and/or machinery and equipment.

• IDA Administration. OOC provides, under contract, the administrative support for the IDA and helps to package and provide underwriting for all IDA economic development assistance utilizing IDA programs.

• Micro-Enterprise Training Program. OOC works cooperatively with the City of Fulton Community Development Agency, City of Oswego Community Development Office and the SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations to provide guidance and support to people interested in starting or expanding a small business.

• Domestic and International Marketing Program. OOC aggressively promotes and markets Oswego County for purposes of attracting new businesses and for enhancing the business climate image of the county.

• Next Great Idea Program. OOC helps to encourage entrepreneurial development in Oswego County by coordinating a business plan competition that also features a grant to the winner to assist in implementing a business project.

• Regional Collaboration. OOC is very active with the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council, the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board, CenterState Center for Economic Opportunity, Empire State Development, and National Grid on efforts and initiatives to spur economic development and to expand and enhance the regional economy.

For more information on these programs and other economic development services in Oswego County, call OOC at 343-1545 or visit www.oswegocounty.org.

for Patients Culture and Leadership Work Group, Oswego County Child Protective Advisory Council, American College of Healthcare Executives and the Oswego Zonta Club n How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? I follow the approach of being open and honest with employees. Communication is key in any approach and often times it is the misunderstandings of the expectations that cause the most frustrations in the workplace. I believe if you treat individuals with respect and lead by example this will lead to productive employees, who at the end of the day will have provided quality care to the population of individuals we are responsible for. I have an optimistic view on life which I also believe makes my approach one filled with flexibility. Our world is ever changing so we must be ready to change with it. One other thing that is very important to me was said by Winston Churchill — “Never, never, never give up.” n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? I believe in honest and continual communication with staff members, keeping them well informed of both the positives and challenges within our health system. I also believe in leading by example, assisting our employees whenever I am able. Finally, leaders must be passionate about the field they have chosen as a career path. Anyone who knows me will say I am very passionate about providing exceptional healthcare to our patients. n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? Oswego Health is a major employer in Oswego County with nearly 1,200 employees who mostly reside in the county and also have an economic impact of more than $171 million on the region. To maintain our status as a community leader and to ensure healthcare business remains

local, residents need to support our many services when they require health care.

To meet the growing healthcare needs of the community, we have recruited new physicians in needed specialties and have renovated our facilities with advanced technology. Residents need to know that Oswego Health is providing high quality, exceptional healthcare services, close to where they live and work. n What do you do for fun? I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my husband, two sons, a daughterin-law and my wonderful granddaughter.

I encourage the talented, diverse and well-prepared team we have at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield to always provide its own personal input. Our team comes up with great ideas. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? I like to think that I am a good listener, and hopefully the team agrees! n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? Oswego County is a great area that has good health care, wonderful natural beauty, an affordable cost of living and quality educational institutions. It is a good place for businesses to start up or relocate. n What do you do for fun? I enjoy hiking, skiing, playing tennis, golfing and just about any other outdoor activity.

Barry Trimble Company: The Eis House Position: Managing member With the company since: March 2014 In your current position since: March 2014 Education: High school and technical training Career highlights: Executive in five construction-related businesses, commercial property owner, own/manage taverns and restaurant. Town of Palermo councilman for eight years Current affiliations: Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce n How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? Set stretch goals, hire competent people and give them the tools they need to succeed. Be there when they need me and stay out of their way when they don’t. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader?

Spent several years studying leadership and great leaders; understanding leadership is essential to leading; development of simple dashboards for revenue and

profit allows the entire team to see what areas we are doing well in and areas that need attention; being comfortable with change and trying new things n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? The industrial/manufacturing sector that created an abundance of good paying jobs in the county previously is probably not going to return. Manufacturers are very good at leveraging technology that reduces the need for labor. Diversity and balance in the private sector is important to stability and job growth. Job growth is key to the county’s prosperity. Healthcare, private education, tourism and other service industries require labor. Is there more we could do to attract service sector employers? The abundance of high-quality water in the area may be an underutilized resource as well. n What do you do for fun? Read nonfiction, golf and take walks in Oswego

The business climate in Oswego County will improve if we are able to create sustainable long-term economic growth, and this can be accomplished by capitalizing on our region’s assets including optimizing key industry growth clusters such as healthcare, technology and advanced manufacturing, and creating, retaining and attracting a talented workforce. n What do you do for fun? I read, play golf and have fun with our children and grandchildren.

I think the more companies in Oswego County that can work together and buy local, the better of the region will be as a whole. n What do you do for fun? I enjoy sailing and duck hunting.

CEOProfiles Profiles CEO ty; YMCA board of directors n How would you describe your managerial philosophy or approach?

I’d like to think that a key skill all successful managers have is the ability to communicate a plan and then assist with the execution of the plan. Get out of the way of your performers, celebrate success and don’t dwell on mistakes. After all, if you don’t make mistakes, you’re just not trying hard enough. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? One of my favorite professional development reads from long ago was “Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun,”

by Wess Roberts. There were a lot of takeaways from that book, but one that continues to stick out to me is to always keep a sense of humor about your self.

“If you take yourself too seriously, you’ll never truly be successful, and the Huns don’t work well for a sourpuss.” That said, and given how serious we are here at the newspaper about providing the best local news possible every day, a good sense of humor goes a long way in my role as publisher. n How can the business climate in Oswego County and the region be improved? There are so many factors involved in improving our business climate, and I’m a stakeholder in some grassroots efforts like the Literacy Coalition of Oswego County and the Oswego Renaissance Association, which have far-reaching and positive benefits for the growth and success of our community. However, the one big thing that I’ve preached from day one of my involvement with community newspapers is the importance of shopping locally and supporting our small businesses. Small business is the cornerstone of any community and by supporting these businesses, you’re ensuring more local dollars stay here and help our economy to grow. It also encourages an entrepreneurial spirit, which is so vital to our economic growth and success. n What do you do for fun? Family time with my wife and three sons (17, 15, and 11) is my biggest source of entertainment. My boys play sports, music, and are involved in community theatre and the arts, which keep us plenty busy year-round. In addition to this, I spend other free time out on the golf course and travel a little here and there.

I also continue to be the vice president of business development for Alternative Solutions Group, a back office service provider for skilled nursing facilities based out of East Aurora.

Current affiliations: New York State Health Facilities Association; Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce n How would you describe your managerial philosophy or approach?

Maintain the right distance to enable you to grow a strong team that can function whether you are there or not. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader?

Many years in this business to understand outcomes and a team-building approach to allow staff freedom to determine how they will reach those outcomes. Know when to micro-manage and when to allow free flow and manager discretion.

Promoting organizational structure and clarity is key. Consistency and predictability in practice whenever possible. n How can the business climate in Oswego County and the region be improved? Focus on small business owner incentives and building our core: Middle America drives the country and it will drive Oswego County, too. There have been successful efforts in the recent past to improve housing in the area — this is critical on many levels. The creation of employment precedes the housing demands. People and businesses must be incentivized to create change and take risks for the benefit of the future. n What do you do for fun? I love

Lawrence M. Coyle Company: Entergy Nuclear-James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Station Position: Site vice president With the company since: 2011 In current position since: 2013 Education: Bachelor of Science in nuclear engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana; Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago Career highlights: Coyle is a 30-year veteran of the nuclear industry beginning his career with Exelon at Dresden Nuclear Power Station in Illinois as an engineer in 1982. During his tenure at Dresden, he served for one year as an operations peer evaluator for the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations from 1995-1996. Following his work at Dresden, Coyle served as operations director at LaSalle Nuclear Power Station in Illinois. He then accepted the position of maintenance director for Braidwood Nuclear Power Station in Illinois. He was subsequently promoted to plant manager in 2007 where, under his leadership, the organization realized its best safety, human performance and collective radiation exposure results. Coyle was named general manager, plant operations for

18

Entergy’s Indian Point Energy Center in October 2011.

Affiliations: Member, American Nuclear Society; past board member, Big Brothers and Big Sisters n How would you describe your managerial philosophy or approach?

One of my managers told me a while back that once you take on the mantle of being a supervisor, there are two primary things that you now must do: grow your people and raise standards. And it really is that simple. When I first entered in to the nuclear power business, it was all a technical arena and I was measured on how well I worked through and solved technical issues. When I took on the supervisor role, the reliance on technical was still there, but the focus on the most important aspect, the people, really began. Growing your people has to be the focus for any good manager, or more importantly, a leader. I’m certainly not going to have all the answers. I work with a highly skilled and talented team. As a leader, I challenge the team to identify the answers and continuously raise the standards. Getting more out of the team than it thought possible is the driver. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? Just a very few things. Communicate, have a positive attitude, and exude energy. I don’t think I was born with this either; it’s something I worked on. I’m sure there are natural born leaders, but I am a firm believer that you can develop these skill sets. As far as communication, you have to be able to communicate to the folks in the field (and of course you need to be visible in the field), and you have to be able to communicate to senior executives.

Both are a must for you to drive the vision that you see for your team. I think of methods to communicate to my team in several different ways, both personally and electronically. You certainly will have a tough time to lead people to your vision if you are not in front of them on a regular basis. Positive attitude is a must for a 24/7 business like nuclear power.

There is always work to do and it can get pretty stressful. Positive energy is needed from leadership at times when things aren’t going your way. Last is the energy, which is very similar to the positive attitude. Another previous manager once told me that now that I was in management, I can’t have a bad day. It is absolutely true. Sometimes team performance isn’t what it should be, but take it as learning and get better. Exude that energy to the rest of the team and it will get inspired. Every day is a good day if you are learning from the trials

you go through. n What do you do for fun? Spending time with my family is the topmost fun.

I have a son who just graduated college and was fortunate enough to land a job.

My second son is in college and I have a daughter in high school. Following their exploits is hilarious and fun. I also enjoy watching and playing sports. Sports participation is now relegated to golf, as I seem to be pulling all kinds of muscles when I do anything more strenuous. I do also enjoy motorcycle riding and typically go on one long bike ride each year with my buddies.

Leonard Puzzuoli Company: Otis Technology Position: CEO With the companysince: 2009 In current position since: 2014 Education: Bachelor of Arts, materials and logistics management, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Mich.; Master of Business Administration, Capital University, Columbus, Ohio.

My fundamental focus is on our customer.

In addition, I believe in building a strong organization and making sure to give them the resources and support needed to be successful. Coaching, measured risk taking, and building confidence are very important to my approach. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? As CEO, the effective development, communication and execution of our strategic direction is a must. Aligning organization capabilities with customers’ needs is a requirement in today’s competitive business environment. In addition, leading from the front, maintaining a balanced approach and embracing change all contribute to effectiveness. n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? Overall, we are pleased with the business climate

BUSINESS GUIDE 2O15 • Oswego County, Northern & Central New York

in Oswego County. If there is room for improvement, I would recommend continued attention to incentives that will retain and attract new businesses to the region. Also, continuing to develop the county infrastructure is key to a strong business climate. n What do you do for fun? My interests center around family and travel.

I also am an avid tennis player, picking up a racket whenever possible. Additionally, shooting sporting clays has been an enjoyable pastime that ties in nicely with Otis Technology’s firearms cleaning and maintenance business.

Lisa Pachmayer Company: YMCA of Greater Syracuse Position: Interim executive director With the company since: 1998 In current position since: 2012 Education: Bachelor of Science in recreation management with an emphasis in business Career highlights: Much of my career has been spent assisting troubled YMCAs turn their operations into high-functioning, community-serving YMCAs. This is something I am very proud of since YMCAs play such an important role in any community. So to be a part of this is really exciting.

Current affiliations: Association of Professional Directors n How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? My personal philosophy is that I demand excellence in performance for myself and I ask the same for my leadership team. I believe in setting a good example and ask that my leadership team does the same for its teams since leading by example is so important. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? After working at several different YMCAs in different states for 25 years, I genuinely care about people. I also feel that I am committed, a good communicator and am willing to take a risk. Also, I really love what I do which helps me to do my best every day. n What do you do for fun? I enjoy spending time with my husband Stewart Plumley and our son Becket. We enjoy the outdoors, traveling and just being together.

My philosophy is one of empowerment. I strive to instill trust and provide direction to our staff that enables them to put their talents to work in a manner that brings positive results for our agency and our consumers. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? Good communication skills with equal emphasis on both instruction and listening; flexibility, being able to adapt accordingly and effectively address unexpected events and situations; and encouragement, which fosters confidence and motivates staff members to hone their individual skills and talents and achieve professional growth and increased satisfaction in their career n What do you do for fun?

M.C. King Company: Dynegy Independence Station Position: Managing director With the company since: 2013 In current position since: 2013 Education: Applied nuclear science, Thomas Edison University; advanced project management, Stanford University; engineering management, Harvard University Career highlights: Seventeen years in

nuclear power generation, four years in coal power generation, one year in natural gas power generation and one year in plastics manufacturing Current affiliations: Oswego Rotary; board of directors, United Way of Oswego County; advisory board, Salvation Army of Oswego County; advisory board, Cayuga Community College-Fulton Campus; member, VFW n How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? Leadership by example; be a leader of continuous change and improvement; be a master visionary, communicator, inspirer and coach; always challenge yourself and others to be the best; always hold others and yourself accountable n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader?

I’ll leave that one up to my employees, peers and leaders to answer. n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? Manufacturing: In order to bring large employers into the county, the county has to provide a continuous supply of skilled workers (i.e. there needs to be a focused education-to-work platform that provides the skill sets and training for industry).

Companies are no longer looking for entry-level skills for hire. They are looking for employee potential for advancement and succession planning for the future.

Additionally, the county and state need to provide a business-friendly tax and regulatory environment as compared to competing states and counties to bring businesses in. Lastly, a solid, flexible, economic transport infrastructure for materials, goods and services is required for functional business models.

Retail: With any community near a metropolitan area, great education systems drive where people reside. Parents will always live in the community with the best schools and sacrifice commuting to ensure their children receive the best education. Communities with the best education systems in place will generally have stabilized housing markets and steady residential construction, which leads to an increase in retail development opportunities.

There are many factors that affect economic growth or aggregate demand.

However, human capital, consumption, investment, asset pricing, real wages and government spending are factors mentioned above which influence the Oswego County business climate. n What do you do for fun? I enjoy being with my family.

CEOProfiles Profiles CEO Michael Szidat Company: Felix Schoeller NA Position: President and CEO With the company since: 1997 In the current position since: 2010 Education: Industrial engineering, University of Wilhelmshaven, Germany Current affiliations: CenterState CEO; Manufacturers Association of Central New York; several industry associations n How can the business climate in Oswego County and the region be improved? Oswego County has a lot to offer businesses: great infrastructure, reasonable to low cost of living and a willing and motivated workforce. But when trying to fill open positions, we find that education and professional skill set development are the biggest challenges.

Basic understanding of mechanics, common computer skills, a “feel for numbers” and good communications are an absolute must in today’s manufacturing environment. Unfortunately, only a few candidates bring these essential skills today. Whereas the county is doing a good job in attracting businesses by way of financial incentive programs, schools and students need to do their share so that graduates meet the requirements of today’s job market. Only a highly skilled workforce will ensure the long-term prosperity of any business in the county. n What do you do for fun? Spending time with the family, golfing and skiing

Mike Szpak Company: Oswego Industries, Inc. Position: CEO With the company since: 2012 In your current position since: 2012 Education: Master of Business Administration, Executive Development Program, University of Rochester, Simon School, 1993 Career highlights: This may be the hardest question to answer because with every step in the journey of business comes new victories. I have won awards and have always taken great

20

pride in my education. People often say they’d like to “give back” when they retire but nonprofit leaders have been giving back for years. I would say giving back would be the highlight of my career.

Current affiliations: I attend several community-based groups including the Workforce Development Board of Oswego County, the Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce, NYSARC, Rotary, and Leave a Legacy. n How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach: While staying focused on our organization’s overall strategic goals, it is important to make sure my senior leadership team has the flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of the community. Our team continuously analyzes data gathered

by Oswego Industries’ programs. It is important to provide a productive environment that encourages a high level of performance. n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader?

Despite constant demands on our time, I try to fit strategic thinking into my daily routine. I have a background in boardbased engineering, human resources and marketing for both nonprofits and for-profit businesses. This allows me to problem solve from different perspectives. It is important to be involved not just in our agency, but also with agencies that perform similar services regionally, statewide, and nationally. My staff and I spend a lot of time building collaborative relationships among Oswego Industries, local municipal government, public schools, and other community-based organizations. We are constantly trying to find ways to work in collaboration or unison with other organizations so that we can do more work with fewer resources. n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? It is clear that Oswego County has economic hurdles to overcome. I believe that in general, small businesses and nonprofits have little control over market conditions, regulations and other cultural forces But what goes on inside the walls of your organization is entirely within your control. What’s more, internal culture and motivation can have a huge impact on everything from sales to productivity to recruitment and retention. There should be more focus from businesses overall to

engage in social issues, especially those that affect key stakeholders in Oswego County. n What do you do for fun? Balancing work and family can be a difficult task.

It is important to find ways to recharge personally so that you have the energy you need to drive success professionally.

I enjoy going camping and spending time with my grandchildren.

my; Master of Business Administration from Pace University; educational administration from the University at Albany; doctor of education from Seton Hall University Career highlights: Since I started at the Mexico Academy & Central School District in 2010, we have revised the school district’s academic program to include advanced placement in biology, chemistry and physics at the high school and additional opportunities for math and science acceleration at the middle school. We have implemented the reformation of the teacher evaluation system and implementation of New York State Education Department’s “common core instructional shifts” in math and English language arts. We now offer our students classes in Advancement Via Individual Determination, a program that inspires students who would not otherwise consider college as an option the capacity to pursue college dreams. We offer a variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses in grades 7-12 through Project Lead the Way. Here, students work on project-based learning activities that are centered on robotics, advanced manufacturing, engineering design, computer science, software engineering and biomedical engineering.

Current affiliations: Edick-Hamlin VFW Post 369 in Mexico; Central New York MENSA; New York State Council of School Superintendents n How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? Management philosophy is centered on setting a good example as a superintendent who is able to lead and influence people by providing purpose, direction and motivation to accomplish our mission and ultimately help our students to achieve. As a leader, a big part of my job is to focus and refocus the community and staff on our mission which is that “we will promote student learning that is aligned with a relevant curriculum and is consistent with rigorous standards; we will use instruction techniques that encourage all students — regardless of initial perceived ability level or learning style — to take ownership of their own learning; and we will create and maintain a culture of learning where all participants — staff, students and families — feel safe, supported and respected as partners.” n What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? My commitment to public service

began 30 years ago as a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was there that I learned a leader should exhibit character traits that are beyond reproach (the “being”); interpersonal, conceptual and technical skills that permit innovation (the “knowing); and an ability to be a “leader of leaders” by building partnerships that contribute to “mission-success” (the “doing”). n How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? The climate can be improved by continuing to strengthen partnerships between our school districts and regional businesses.

All school districts in Oswego have been taking steps toward developing a skilled labor force through career and technical education programs. We are listening to the needs of our business partners and have made great strides toward ensuring that our students are career and college ready. n What do you do for fun? I enjoy travel and spending time with my family.

n What’s new: Entergy’s James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant underwent its 21st refueling and maintenance outage beginning in August 2014. During the outage, workers replaced 184 fuel assemblies in the reactor and performed various maintenance activities, tests and inspections on plant equipment.

Other major work included a complete re-tube of the plant’s main condenser.

The plant’s existing condenser tubes constructed of admiralty brass were replaced with titanium tubes designed to be resistant to silt and other abrasive sediments found in Lake Ontario. The new condenser tube material was selected for its long-life expectancy and resistance to environmental erosion and corrosion conditions. The life span for the re-tubed condenser is projected to exceed the station’s extended period of operation. In 2008, the Nuclear Regula-

The overriding purpose of DSRIP is to reduce hospital-based Medicaid utilization by 25 percent over the next five years through reductions in avoidable hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Given the established parameters of DSRIP, federally qualified health centers such at NOCHSI will play a central role in DSRIP success. FQHCs will be vital to DSRIP partners (e.g., hospitals, long-term care providers, home care agencies, etc.) particularly given its focus on uninsured and underserved patient populations and progressive systems for monitoring health outcomes and influencing population health. n Operations: Northern Oswego County Health Services, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation and a federally qualified health center run by a volunteer board of directors. NOCHSI is a family-oriented primary care practice network with sites in Pulaski, Mexico, Parish, Phoenix, Oswego and Fulton. It serves residents of Oswego County, southern Jefferson County, northern Onondaga County and Lake Ontario visitors by providing quality health and wellness services. NOCHSI runs six school-based health centers in the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown, Mexico, Sandy Creek and Pulaski school districts.

NOCHSI has served the area for more than 37 years and is accredited by the Joint Commission. NOCHSI employs a medical team of 14 physicians, 22 mid-level providers (nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants), four dentists and four hygienists. Specialty services are available at the site provided by independent providers. Specialties provided include cardiology, physical therapy, nephrology, podiatry, family planning and mental health counseling. NOCHSI’s website, www.nochsi.org, is continually updated and upgraded. In February of 2012, NOCHSI was recognized as a level 3 (top rating) patient-centered medical home. In May of 2012, NOCHSI was re-accredited by the Joint Commission for three more years.

Behling Orchards — which features 825 total acres — is primarily a U-pick farm. Eric Behling’s great-grandfather opened the orchard with only six acres back in 1947. The farm grew steadily with apples sold at roadside stands, but in 1968, a hailstorm ruined the crop.

An article about U-pick farms, a new practice, was discovered and discussed by the family. The Behlings advertised the opportunity for people to select their own apples directly from the tree, and an enterprise was born. In the fall, Behling’s features hayrides, pony rides, games, a haunted house and mazes for children, pumpkins, a snack bar, fresh baked pies, and other apple and seasonal favorites, such as popcorn balls and a cider mill.

Behling’s Orchards produces an average of 75,000 to 100,000 bushels of apples a year. In the summer, Behling’s offer

(NASDAQ Capital: PBHC) in the fall 2014 completed the conversion and reorganization in regards to Pathfinder Bancorp, MHC converting to a stock-holding company form of organization. Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation — “New Pathfinder” — and the new stock holding company for Pathfinder Bank, sold more than 2.6 million shares of common stock at $10 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $26.4 million in its stock offering in October 2014.

Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company of Pathfinder Bank.

The Pall-Times had plans to upgrade to its web press. n Operations: The Palladium-Times can map its history back to pre-Civil War days, when The Palladium’s first issue as a weekly came out in 1819. The other division of the newspaper, The Oswego Times, traces its origins to 1845 when the Commercial Daily Advertiser became Oswego’s first daily newspaper. After a long period of battling one another, the two newspapers that supported opposing political parties merged to become one daily newspaper with an independent political voice. The merger became official on April 14, 1925 and the one-time rivals that neighbored one another on West First Street came together much to the surprise of some city and county residents. In 2008, The Sample News Group acquired The Palladium-Times from Gatehouse Media, moving it to a privately held status, which hadn’t been seen since the ownership days of the Morrison and Leighton families prior to 1966. After the Morrison-era, The Palladium-Times saw a host of corporate chains buy and then sell the operation, including Thomson Newspapers, American Publishing Co., Community Holdings, Inc., Liberty Group Publishing, and the aforementioned Gatehouse Media, Inc.

COLLABORATION

Most health care is delivered locally. Collaboration to address today’s health care issues and plan for tomorrow’s needs also should be local. Nearly 1,000 Excellus BlueCross BlueShield employees in Central New York collaborate with local businesses, community and civic organizations, educators, members and health care providers to make high-quality health care accessible and affordable for the people who live and work here. That’s why we’re here.
