s A&P ends its 156-year tenure as a supermarket staple in the Northeast, the birth and expansion of several other grocery chains in Westchester County are underway. Since filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July, A&P’s parent company, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., has seen nearly all of its 25 A&P and Pathmark banner stores in Westchester sold. Acme Markets Inc., a Pennsylvania-based subsidiary of Albertsons Cos., opened its first store in Westchester on Oct. 11 at the site of the former A&P at 103 Knollwood Road in Greenburgh. According to Acme officials, it will acquire 71 A&P stores that operate under the A&P, Pathmark and Super Fresh banners. Acme will acquire 12

Westchester A&P stores and 16 New York stores in total, including sites in Yorktown Heights, Thornwood, Yonkers, Mohegan Lake, Goldens Bridge, Bronxville, Rye Brook, Briarcliff Manor, Scarsdale, Greenburgh, New Rochelle, Shrub Oak, Pleasant Valley, Hopewell Junction and Brewster. According to the company, all Acme stores will be open by the end of November. Acme spokeswoman Danielle D’Ella said each store will typically be closed for “just a few days” while they are renovated and converted. The company will reopen locations first in Westchester before those farther south. “The company is on an aggressive timeline to convert all locations to the Acme banner within the next two months,” D’Ella said. “We intend to hire/ » » A&P, page 6

Westchester energy buying program enlists 21 municipalities BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

wenty-one municipalities in Westchester County have signed on to participate in a pilot program to negotiate electricity prices at a lower rate for groups of residents and small commercial businesses in those localities. Sustainable Westchester Inc., a nonprofit consortium of about 40 dues-paying municipalities in the county, is heading the program. Its officials are preparing a request for proposals, expected to be released by the end of the month, for one energy-supplying service company to create an electricity contract for

the pilot program’s participants. This energy-buying strategy, called community choice aggregation, differs from the traditional way of paying for utilities in that groups of consumers will be in the same rate contract rather than having variable rates that are susceptible to change. The driving force behind starting community choice aggregation is simple, according to Leo Wiegman, executive director of Sustainable Westchester: “We asked for it.” “We being the municipalities in Westchester,” he explained, “saw this program helping people save money and have smarter, better energy choices in other states.” This thinking, Wiegman said, is what

prompted a bill, introduced in the state Senate in May 2013, that would have started a similar program, but was vetoed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in December 2014. In his veto letter, Cuomo said he supported the intent of the bill, but said it was duplicating efforts already being made by the state Public Service Commission. Cuomo referred the proposal to the commission, which approved the current program in February. Six other states — Massachusetts, Ohio, New Jersey, Rhode Island, California and Illinois — have implemented a version of community choice aggregation.

ince opening nearly 2½ years ago, the Armonk Square mixed-use development has augmented the North Castle hamlet’s Main Street boutiques with its own unique blend of stores. Now at full occupancy, the 53,000-squarefoot, 3.43-acre development, anchored by a DeCicco’s Family Markets grocery, features more than a dozen businesses and restaurants as well as 10 one-bedroom apartments in the Main Street corridor between Maple Avenue and Bedford Road. It is the brainchild of developers Alan Zaretsky and Dominick and John Dioguardi, who saw its first businesses open in June 2013. Stores range from a Chase bank to a Tazza Cafe coffee shop to Bowls Handcrafted Salads & Soups to Lilies and Lace, a lingerie and swimwear store. Fortina, the trendy Italian restaurant specializing in pizzas, was among the first businesses to open. The square is composed of three main buildings: DeCicco’s and Fortina, occupy the area closest to Maple Ave., and two buildings housing shops and apartments extend to adjacent Main Street. On the recent Columbus Day holiday, the square was filled with shoppers of nearly all ages. Families sat and enjoyed frozen yogurt outside of Peachwave Frozen Yogurt, older gentlemen took in the warm weather on the circular set of benches flanking Main Street and adolescents with the day off from school were dropped off by parents to do their own exploring. The square’s brick pedestrian walkway is lined with trees, potted plants and streetlights, inviting visitors to at least window shop for a few hundred yards. Elizabeth Talbot, co-owner of Jagger and Jade, the children’s clothing store at the Main St. edge of the square, said her business has been thriving with out-of-town residents since opening in January 2014. Despite the somewhat limited but free parking, firsttimers always seem to come back, she said. “I think it’s accessible to everyone,” Talbot said. “Parking is parking, but I think people are genuinely happy to come experience all Armonk has to offer. You have all you could want here.” Bedford resident Dan Giardina said the 15-minute drive to Armonk Square is well worth it. He does the bulk of his food shopping at DeCicco’s and frequents Cleaning by Frederick’s to have his suits and dress shirts pressed.

“I think it’s pretty great,” said Giardina, 25. “We have some great new food and shops and it makes the town look much nicer.” The shops and restaurants have helped Armonk give neighboring retail destinations like Mount Kisco, Greenwich, Stamford and White Plains some friendly competition. “Shop Local” banners hanging throughout Main Street encourage residents to not stray far. Jonathan Gordon, president and CEO of Bronxville-based Admiral Real Estate Services Corp., said the arrival of a DeCicco’s initially attracted more consumers, which in turn attracted more businesses to fill any remaining vacancies. The DeCicco’s replaced a nearby A&P supermarket that closed its doors in February 2012. He said the commercial vacancy rates for the hamlet have dropped and remained relatively low since stores began filling the square in 2013. “Armonk Square gave the Armonk shopper more reason to stay in town as opposed to going outside of Armonk,” he said. “Retail in Armonk prior to the square was ancillary, small boutique shops. Now, they’re much more busy, mainstream businesses that are able to capitalize on the significant consumer dollars present in Armonk.” The mixed-use development at times looked like it might never come to fruition. Plans for a major development sat in front of the North Castle Planning Board for more than 20 years, Town Planner Adam Kaufman said. Once plans were finally approved, construction took roughly a year, and it was

about another year before the final retail space was leased in 2014. Kaufman said the 10 second-floor apartments on the property were completely rented even before construction began. He called the square an “absolute success.” “It was really an open field that the town had been trying to get a development into for decades,” Kaufman said. “We had a few failed development proposals that never got up off the ground and this represented a great opportunity to develop the core of the Armonk hamlet.” Chappaqua Crossing, the long-anticipated mixed-use development, looks to build off this northern Westchester hamlet’s success — but on a larger scale. Plans by Connecticut-based developer Summit Greenfield for the former Readers Digest Association headquarters include 120,000 square feet of retail space anchored by a 40,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market, similar to the DeCicco’s-anchored Armonk Square. Though not asked about the potential arrival a of similar nearby hub, Armonk Chamber of Commerce Vice President Christopher Carthy said he thought residents have everything they need right in their own backyard. “It’s doing very well. It’s busy nearly every day,” Carthy said. “I think Armonk Square has enabled Armonk to become a one-stop destination for shopping and dining.”

A strong third quarter for Westchester house sales BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

hird-quarter housing sales in Westchester County were up more than 10 percent from a year ago, but the increased demand from buyers did not result in higher median sale prices for houses and condos and did not much shrink the inventory of market listings, according to the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors. Realtors showing homes in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties reported 5,231 closed sales in the quarter, an increase of 687 units or 15.2 percent from the third quarter last year. Orange County led the four-county region with a 30.1 percent increase in number of sales, followed by Putnam at 21.1 percent and Rockland at 16.3 percent. Westchester, where Realtors reported 3,157 housing sales, a 10.3 percent increase from last year, accounted for 60 percent of third-quarter sales volume in the region. Sales of condominiums and two- to four-family homes rose 22 percent in Westchester from last year, with 403 condos and 143 two- to four-family homes sold from July through September. The 2,065 single-family homes sold in Westchester in the third quarter represented a 6.7 percent increase from the same quarter last year. There were 11,761 residential sales in the four-county region for the first nine months of this year, a 15.5 percent increase from 2014, Hudson Gateway reported. In Westchester, the third-quarter median sale price of a single-family home was $676,500, down about 1 percent from the median sale price for the same quarter last year. The median sale price for a Westchester condo also declined slightly, from $375,000 a year ago to $373,000 this year. Co-ops sold at a median price of $162,500, a 4.8 percent increase from the third quarter last year. The median thirdquarter price of a two- to four-family house in the county was $465,000, up 9.4 percent from last year. The third quarter ended with 11,734 houses in the four-county region listed with the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service, according to the Realtors association. Third-quarter sales activity reduced the total market by 625 housing units or 5.1 percent. In Westchester, the inventory of sin-

gle-family houses showed only a slight change — with four fewer homes listed at the end of the third quarter than a year ago. The county’s co-op market, which reported 1,308 third-quarter sales, an 8.2 percent rise from last year, saw a nearly 17 percent reduction in inventory at the end of September with 1,056 listings. Analysts at the Hudson Gateway Association in their quarterly report said the region’s housing market inventory “has not shrunk so much or so rapidly as to put a crimp in the continuing market improve-

ment” and has not put “significant upward pressures on prices.” At Westchester Real Estate Inc., a group of independently owned real estate firms, Executive Director Gail Fattizzi in the group’s third-quarter market report said brokers in Westchester “are still seeing signs of two different markets. At the high end of the market, luxury property sales are sluggish and there are still many more available than sell in an average year. …On the flip side, more moderately priced homes are in stronger demand,

with less inventory on the market, and are often selling with multiple offers.” Yet buyers in that more competitive market are careful not to overpay for a home, Fattizzi said. Douglas Elliman Real Estate in its third-quarter report said the median sale price in Westchester’s luxury market — the upper 1 percent of all single-family houses sold — was $2,150,000, a 6.5 percent decline from the same quarter last year. The luxury price threshold dropped 2.1 percent to $1,645,000.

Connecticut sees billion-dollar benefits in interstate work BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

The widening of lanes in both directions along I-84 from the New York border to Waterbury will increase the interstate’s capacity from two to three lanes in each direction and is expected to cost a total of $1.5 billion, according to estimates by the Connecticut Department of Transportation in 2013. Widening I-84 from Danbury Exit 8 to Waterbury Exit 18: $720 million

Widening I-84 in Danbury between Exit 3 and Exit 8: $640 million Widening I-84 from the New York border to Danbury Exit 3: $150 million

Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from Stamford to Bridgeport: $4.1 billion

Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from the Milford Connector to New Haven: $1.3 billion Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from Bridgeport to the Milford Connector: $1.9 billion

Adding one lane in each direction along I-95 from the New York border to Stamford: $1.7 billion

OCTOBER 19, 2015

WCBJ | HV Biz

The widening of lanes in both directions along I-95 from the New York border to New Haven is expected to cost a total of $9 billion, according to estimates made by the Connecticut Department of Transportation in 2013. According to the department, this highly congested corridor constructed in the early 1950s has outgrown its ability to serve the region and current operations present significant congestion and safety issues.

reliminary estimates for the economic impact that would be generated by the widening of southern Connecticut’s major transit arteries, Interstate 84 and Interstate 95, are in and the outlook is promising with economic benefits of nearly $40 billion predicted — more than three times the $12.2 billion the combined projects are expected to cost. The analysis is part of Gov. Dannel Malloy’s and the Department of Transportation’s “Let’s Go CT” campaign announced earlier this year. The project is a $100-billion, 30-year vision for an overhaul of the state’s seaports, highways, bus and rail systems as well as pedestrian and bicyclist pathways. The projects would boost most sectors of the state’s economy, particularly in the manufacturing, retail

and tourism industries in the form of new business, wages and an increase in the gross state product, Malloy said when announcing the findings. “It’s not just about quality of life — our transportation system is directly tied to our state’s economic future and our ability to grow jobs,” he said. “By acting now, we will see dramatic benefits in the long term.” According to the state DOT, daily traffic varies widely, but on average, the I-95 corridor accommodates more than 135,000 vehicles daily, including more than 18,000 trucks on some portions. Adding a lane in each direction on I-95 across southern Connecticut could produce $15.5 billion in new business sales, add $9 billion to the gross state product and add $6.3 billion in new wage income to workers. The widening itself will cost $10.7 billion and support between 11,000 and 19,000 construction jobs over a 10-year construction period.

The Transportation Department estimated that every year each Connecticut driver spends 40 hours sitting in traffic due to the state’s congested roads — costing $1.6 billion in lost time and fuel. In a survey by the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, 42 percent of businesses surveyed said that the state’s road congestion restricts or limits the territory of their market. In the same survey, 15 percent of businesses said they have considered relocating because of regional transportation concerns. Chris Bruhl, president and CEO of The Business Council of Fairfield County, said he has not heard from members that the current condition of the transit infrastructure is deterring new businesses or propelling them from the state, though it is a concern for the near future. “It is a steady theme that we hear — that improvement in employee commutes are essential in the future,” he said. “It is on everybody’s mind, in Fairfield the commute is like the weather in an agricultural community.” On I-84, more than 80,000 drivers are estimated to use the corridor daily. Widening the highway could produce $4.4 billion in new business sales, add $2.6 billion to the gross state product and add $1.8 billion in new wage income for workers, the economic analysis concluded. The total cost of the project is $1.5 billion and will sup-

port 4,000 construction jobs. Both improvements are years away, said Thomas Maziarz, bureau chief for the DOT’s Bureau of Policy and Planning, but there are many smaller projects aimed at easing congestion as well as bolstering rail and bridge safety that are already being addressed as part of Let’s Go CT’s five-year ramp-up plan — currently supported by $6.6 billion in designated funds. Now in the first year of a five-year initial plan, Mariarz said those smaller-scale projects can be addressed before the future design and construction phases for the interstates take shape. Among those are the easing of congestion between Exits 3 and 8 on I-84 and between Stamford and Bridgeport on I-95 — what Mariarz referred to as the “most congested” section of the state’s transit corridors with traffic jams that can reach 20 miles in length regularly, even daily. The design work for the New York to Stamford portion of I-95 could be even further off, he said. “We are probably several years away from being able to even think about the design on the Stamford to New York section,” he said. The next step is a continued analysis of the scope of the plan, which will be put before Malloy and the Transportation Finance Panel in December for review and analysis of future funding strategies.

Regeneron collaborates on anti-pain drug for Asian market

egeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. will give a Japanese pharmaceutical company exclusive rights to develop and commercialize for the Asian market Regeneron’s antibody drug for musculoskeletal pain in a collaboration that could earn the biotech company in Greenburgh a total of $325 million. In a deal announced Oct. 1, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corp. will develop fasinumab, Regeneron’s nerve growth factor antibody in late-stage development for pain control, and market it in Japan, Korea and nine other Asian countries, excluding China. “Pain is one of the most common causes of disability, suffering and productivity loss across the world, and yet current treatments have limited efficacy, hold the risk of abuse or have other serious side effects,” said Dr. Leonard S. Schleifer, president and CEO of Regeneron, in the announcement. He said Mitusbishi Tanabe “has proven experience marketing biologics for rheumatology and pain management and thus is an ideal partner in Asia.” Fasinumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that was shown to safely reduce pain in a clinical study in osteoar-

thritis, Regeneron officials said. The new drug however, was put on partial clinical hold in late 2012 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, limiting duration of trials in osteoarthritis to 16 weeks. The FDA action, which applied to the Regeneron therapy and other investigational new drugs that target nerve growth factor (NGF), was prompted by reports of toxicity in the sympathetic nervous systems of mature animals being treated with other NGF antibodies. Regeneron will receive up to $55 million in up-front and other near-term payments from Mitsubishi Tanabe. The Osaka-based pharmaceutical research company agreed to pay up to $170 million additionally in research and development reimbursements and at development milestones. Regeneron officials said the company will receive a significant portion of any potential profits from fasinumab sales in the Asian market. Regeneron is also eligible for additional one-time purchase price adjustment payments totaling up to $100 million based on specified annual net sales. — John Golden

make offers to substantially all of the storelevel A&P employees at the stores we are acquiring and welcoming them to the Acme Markets team.” Acme initially was scheduled to buy stores in Bedford, Croton-on-Hudson, Millwood and Yonkers, but later dropped those purchases and the stores went to auction. Massachusetts-based The Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. LLC, a division of Ahold USA which already operates stores in Westchester, said earlier this month it began converting 25 former A&P locations. It will convert five stores at a time through Nov. 13. Each store will close for roughly one week, but pharmacies and in-store banks will remain open during the process. The first conversions, which began Oct. 8, included five stores in New York City and on Long Island. Stop & Shop’s lone acquisition in

Westchester was A&P’s most profitable location at 195 N. Bedford Road in Mount Kisco. “It’s a great opportunity for us to expand our presence in the Westchester County area,” said Arlene Putterman, Stop & Shop NY Metro Division spokeswoman. “It gives us an opportunity to showcase more products and also some new technology like our Scan It technology that didn’t exist at A&P.” Putterman said Stop & Shop has not yet determined when the Mount Kisco location would open, but said it was “more than likely” that location would be included in the final wave of reopenings. The Mount Kisco store will see a new produce department and bakery decor, new IT systems and will be repainted. She added that all employees of the Mount Kisco store have been interviewed, and “many” of them will stay on. According to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, Staten Island-based Key Food Stores Co-operative Inc. won bidding for a Pathmark store at 130 Midland Ave. in Port Chester and a Bedford A&P, while Shanghai Enterprises, a Queens-

based LLC, acquired the A&P location at 87 Main St. in Hastings-on-Hudson. Mount Vernon-based PSK Supermarkets, Inc., which operates the Foodtown and Freshtown store brands, won the Oct. 9 bidding on the 19,360-square-foot A&P location at 230 Saw Mill River Road in Millwood, according to court documents. CW A&P Mamaroneck LLC had the winning bid on a 25,597-square-foot A&P store at 805 Mamaroneck Ave. in Mamaroneck. CVS Pharmacy acquired a Yonkers A&P store in an October auction. According to a Sept. 22 notice filed with the state Department of Labor, more than 13,000 A&P employees will no longer work with the company. The Knollwood Avenue A&P location had 196 employees, the most of any store in Westchester. The A&P location in Croton-on-Hudson had 132 employees and a Thornwood location had another 125. Most new stores are expected to retain A&P employees. The A&P stores are scheduled to close by Nov. 26. Don Sussman, Stop & Shop New York

Metro Division president, said his company plans on retaining roughly 3,000 A&P employees. “Shoppers should look forward to seeing many of the same friendly faces,” he said. “We are very excited to begin the store conversion process, and we will strive to minimize the inconvenience to customers,” he said. “Stop & Shop is committed to improving the overall shopping experience in these 25 stores to meet the quality, selection and savings that customers have come to expect from us.” In a post on the company’s website, Acme President Don Croce said his company will also be retaining A&P employees. “Our friendly and knowledgeable store associates are looking forward to providing you with superior customer service — and, I’m sure you will see some of the same familiar faces with a renewed spirit,” he said. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. stated in its Chapter 11 filing that it would sell off its 296 stores in four states. The chain had also filed for protection against creditors in 2010.

Energy — From page 1

saved about 21 percent on electric bills, according to the U.S. Dept. of Energy. The supplier in Westchester will be required to offer two electricity rates from which customers can choose. One is the default rate, which will be lower than the 12-month rolling average in the U.S. The second will be a little higher, but will be up to 100 percent green, renewable energy. Wiegman said the program will only go forward if the customer has economic savings, meaning the winning energy supply company will have to provide rates in its bid that are low and competitive. He estimated consumers will save about 4 to 5 percent on utility bills. “Depending on what zone you’re in for the supply feeds, you’re currently spending probably 9 and 11 cents per the kilowatt hour for supply and an additional 12 or 13 cents for delivery fees,” Wiegman said. “We’ve seen competitive bids come in at 6 or 7 cents” per kilowatt hour in other markets, he added. By banding together, the program will also give the participating municipalities more leverage in rate negotiations. Municipalities that want to participate in the program must first pass a local

law; White Plains, Bedford, Lewisboro, Greenburgh and Mount Kisco are among those to have done so. The 21 participating municipalities represent 52 percent of the county population. Consumers in the participating municipalities will be automatically enrolled in the program, but can opt out at any time and return to a different utility provider. Residents or small commercial business owners who use third-party energy suppliers are not eligible to participate. Why would energy supply companies want to bid on a program like this? The short answer, Wiegman said, is the Public Service Commission is asking them to. In addition, he said, this is an opportunity for an energy company to acquire large blocks of consumers in what could be a market transformation. Karl R. Rábago, executive director of the Pace Energy and Climate Center, said Westchester’s community choice aggregation program is a “natural fit” because it can “reduce costs, improve market clout, and accelerate development of clean energy sources.” Wiegman said Sustainable Westchester hopes to have a bidder chosen before Thanksgiving and have participants switched over in January.

INBRIEF OPEN ARMS MEN’S SHELTER EXPANDS WITH $6.4M INVESTMENT

“The rationale is finding housing is the greatest emotional burden faced by homeless individuals,” Charlie Bevier, director of the agency’s shelter and homeless outreach services, said. “Once they are secure in a place of their own, they are better able to deal with the issues of addiction, unemployment or mental illness that contributed to them being homeless in the first place.” Founded in 1979, Lifting Up Westchester operates eight community-based programs

providing food and shelter to county residents. Lifting Up Westchester officials said it serves 4,000 men, women and children each year, providing 140,000 meals and 28,000 nights of shelter to the homeless.

BLYTHEDALE RECEIVES $8M DONATION The Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla received its largest donation to date earlier this month with an $8 million gift from the Steven and Alexandra Cohen

Foundation. The money will be used to help construct a 24-bed pediatric long-term care unit that will be called the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Pediatric Long-Term Care Pavilion. The 16,450-square-foot facility will be one of the few long-term pediatric units in the metropolitan New York area. The unit is set to open this time next year. — John Golden and Colleen Wilson

The expanded and renovated Open Arms Men’s Shelter at 86 E. Post Road in White Plains.

Staff at Lifting Up Westchester recently was joined by Westchester County and White Plains officials in celebrating the completion of a $4.4 million renovation of Open Arms Men’s Shelter in White Plains. The facility at 86 E. Post Road is the city’s only transitional and emergency drop-in shelter for single, homeless men and its only shelter that provides outreach services to the chronically homeless, according to officials at the 36-year-old nonprofit social services agency. Lifting Up Westchester bought the building for $2 million prior to the renovation project, which added a third floor to the shelter that increased its space from 12,600 square feet to 16,100 square feet. A fully equipped industrial kitchen and an elevator also were among the improvements to the redesigned shelter, which can accommodate 52 people in 38 transitional and 14 emergency housing units. The purchase of the property — which has housed the men’s shelter for a quarter century — and renovations were largely financed by an approximately $5.77 million grant from the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Homeless Housing and Assistance Program. The Leviticus Fund, a social lender, provided a $133,000 loan for the project. Lifting Up Westchester also received an approximately $508,000 loan from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s Affordable Housing Program. With renovations completed, Lifting Up Westchester officials said the agency will focus on quickly moving shelter residents into homes of their own.

Former project manager parlays personal plant battle into professional weed war

hen John Messerschmidt bought a rural weekend home in Ulster County’s High Falls, he found himself with a nasty case of poison ivy. The war was on. He went online and found the most effective method of eradicating poison ivy was to pull it out by the roots rather than spraying it. Clothed in special attire and armed with lotion and soap recommended on the Internet, he forged ahead on his mission to remove all the poison ivy in his yard. What was then a curse, years later became a blessing. The project manager for high-end interior renovations lost his Manhattan-based job in the economic crash in 2008 and went looking for an alternative source of income. He noticed no one offered this service. Thus was born Poison Ivy Patrol Specialty Landscaping Inc., serving the midHudson Valley. “Poison ivy lives on the edges,” Messerschmidt said, “hiding in weeds and bushes, attacking when you least expect it. Since the rash doesn’t show up for 24 hours or more, you may not even know where you

got it. You thought you’d clean up your yard, and the next day you’re rushing to the doctor with a rash all over your body.” Poison ivy isn’t the only invasive plant threatening the landscape. Messerschmidt became aware of other invasives such as Japanese knotweed, bittersweet, wisteria, and stiltgrass, which have invaded the entire Hudson Valley. “For 10,000 years, plants, insects and animals existing in the New York region have evolved together,” Messerschmidt said. “Foreign plant species started coming in on ships as stowaways in crates, soil and ballast water. Now, they are coming from nurseries and big-box stores selling foreign flowers and shrubs with foreign soil. They upset the ecological balance. Since insects and animals stay away from them, native species become decimated as the invaders spread out. Forested areas become dead zones with little wildlife. “These invasive plant species are not found deep in the forest. You will find them in soils disturbed from plowing and construction, bordering yards and parking lots,

next to roads and train tracks and under power lines. They only go where people are.” Knotweed is of particular concern to the warriors against unwanted species. “Drive along the Saw Mill Parkway in lower Westchester and you will see what the upper reaches of the mid-Hudson Valley will look like in the future,” Messerschmidt said. “The species is hard to rout out, having a deep, soft root ball. If you dig it out and leave shoots, they will grow new plants. “People call me to remove their poison ivy and, when I get there, I can see they have a much bigger problem of a proliferation of other invasive species.” Messerschmidt has a team of eight to draw upon to clear out any degree of infestation. “We can clear out a huge area and bring health and beauty to what was once a tangled up mess of vines and bushes. A good thing can be bad when there’s too much of it. One client’s backyard was completely overtaken by forsythia,” Messerschmidt said. “In two days, we cut it down and dug up the roots. They have reclaimed their yard.”

John Messerschmidt, Poison Ivy Patrol Specialty Landscaping.

Poison Ivy Patrol Specialty Landscaping served approximately 300 new clients this year and is growing. “Two thousand sixteen will see a new field office in Putnam Valley to handle the growing demand there,” the owner said. Although he numbers wild rose bushes among offending species, he does tolerate a hedge of them on his property on Rondout Creek to protect his privacy.

INBRIEF UNIVERSAL AMERICAN AGREES TO $43M SALE OF INSURANCE LINES Universal American Corp., a publicly traded health care company headquartered in White Plains that provides benefit plans to people covered by Medicare and Medicaid, has agreed to sell its Traditional Insurance business to Nassau Reinsurance Group Holdings L.P. in Manhattan in an all-cash deal initially valued at approximately $43 million. The companies in an Oct. 8 announcement of their definitive agreement said the sale is expected to close in early 2016 pending state and federal regulatory approvals. At closing, Nassau will fund an additional $20 million in equity capital to support the transaction and strengthen the business moving forward. Universal American said it will also be entitled to potential earn-out payments of $13 million to $24 million through June 30, 2018. With the sale agreement, Universal American announced a special cash dividend of 75 cents per share payable to shareholders Oct. 26. The company also announced it will repay the outstanding balance on a $44.9 million term loan and will terminate its credit facility. Universal American’s Traditional Insurance business includes its Medicare supplement, long-term care, disability, life and other ancillary insurance products, all of which have been in run-off since 2012 as the company began exiting those lines of business. Nassau, a private insurance and reinsurance business founded in April with a $750 million equity capital commitment from Golden Gate Capital, will acquire all of Universal American’s Constitution Life Insurance Co. and The Pyramid Life Insurance Co. as well as the traditional insurance business written by American Progressive Life & Health Insurance Co. of New York. Universal American’s approximately 30-employee traditional insurance business will become a privately held, wholly owned subsidiary of Nassau that will continue to operate from an office in Lake Mary, Florida.

Terra Tile & Marble, a fabrication plant, announced the completion of the installment at a September event attended by community leaders, business owners and the upfront financer of the project, Yorktown Heights-based Energize NY. Energize NY Finance is the economic arm of the program, which is a nonprofit local development corporation supported by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, to help homeowners and business owners make energy saving decisions and investments. Through that financing model, Terra Tile will pay an annual charge on its property TWB Leibman tax bill that will gradually repay the cost of WCBJ the solar panels overh time. The solar panels 7.375” w x 7.125” installed on the Terra Tile roof are expected 1/8/15 to cover nearly 100 percent of the company’s

monthly energy costs, and this last month a spokeswoman with Energize NY said the company did not owe anything on its most recent bill.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL APPROVALS

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Leading instead of doing Because I am wearing so many hats, I can’t get to things that are a priority. I keep wrestling for control with people who aren’t doing what I want. If I delegate to someone, how do I know it will get done right? Pretty sure I’m too involved sometimes but I want to know things are properly taken care of. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Most business owners are natural problem solvers with a sharp focus on tactical issues and day-to-day business, but that’s not the best use of their time and energy. It’s easy to follow that trait down the management chain, loading up reliable players with too many tasks while overlooking employees who don’t readily volunteer. Make sure you build a team with members who can respect each other, address concerns openly and work cooperatively for mutual benefit. In order to get the most out of your business, make the shift from doing to orchestrating. Think ahead; assess where the business

is, what it’s capable of and where it’s going next. Make time for management meetings to hear what people have to say. Keep lists of tasks and due dates. Ask people to report regularly. Take responsibility for pointing the company in a direction so people can follow your lead. Wondering how to do all that? Get rid of day-to-day tasks. Ask people around you to take over things you’re used to doing. Accept that there is usually more than one successful approach instead of harping on how you used to do it. Some employees will eagerly step up to the plate, asking for more. They may be ready, or they may be overly optimistic and about to hit a wall. Others are naturally cautious, needing encouragement to step up even though they have plenty of skill. Learn to realistically assess individual readiness and ability. Taking on too much at once can turn into a fiasco for anyone. Watch out for good performers who suddenly hit a wall. Lighten the load until they start to make progress again. As people step into new roles, if they don’t get it right the first time, encourage

them to keep trying and learn from their experiences. Step back as they gain skill and confidence. It’s often hard to remember how long it took to learn things that are now comfortable habits. Develop patience as you encourage people to get more involved in things you don’t need to do. Teach people to underpromise and over-deliver. Steady, reliable performers are valuable to any business. Don’t overlook the opportunity to give some employees routine work to do, so they can get into a groove. When it comes to work ethic, don’t let anyone take the easy way out, unfairly leaning on co-workers. There’s a difference between going cautiously and sitting back to let others handle the brunt of the load. Some people may try to wash their hands of a problem by asking you to step in. When people come to you for help, practice asking, “Why are you putting that on my desk?” Listen carefully to the answer, but resist the temptation to step in. Be mindful of the concept of motivated self-interest. People act in ways they believe will result in giving them pleasure. Some situations may lead to immediate rewards,

while other situations call for overcoming significant challenges in the pursuit of longer term gain. Talk with each of your employees about what is the win for them. Whatever you do, focus on team building. Address difficult situations openly. Tell the truth. Set realistic goals that reward everyone for pulling together. All the while, maintain a positive, upbeat attitude, even if you have to fake it. Your outward aspect is something that everyone in the company pays attention to. Make the workplace a productive, enjoyable place to be.

CFO awards focus on evolving businesses and challenges

Susan Bartow

Gary F. Brudnicki

Mark Hirschhorn

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

his year’s CFO of the Year Awards highlighted a spectrum of firms and executives who have faced a variety of challenges to best make the numbers work. The event, sponsored by the Business Journal’s parent company, Westfair Communications Inc., was held at The Briarcliff Manor in the village of the same name. A panel of three judges — Marissa Brett, former president of the Westchester County Association; Robert J. Chersi, former CFO of Fidelity Investments; and Francis Petit, associate dean

at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business Lincoln Center — announced three winners from the nine finalists. The winners were: Susan Bartow of the School Choice International education consulting firm; Gary F. Brudnicki of WMCHealth Network and Mark Hirschhorn of telehealth provider Teladoc. The other finalists were: Debra Feldman, Westchester Jewish Community Services; Jerry Harnik, partner at Strategies for Wealth; Robert C. Hultgren of fire-sprinkler manufacturing company Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Company Inc.; Arthur Schwacke, ENT and Allergy Associates LLP; Debra Stanson, New

York School for the Deaf; and Joy Traille of the home care group Comfort Keepers. While some finalists said their companies are trying to find more innovative solutions for annually decreasing budgets, others said they are working to adjust to expanding portfolios and more complex businesses. “Change is the way of life” and “no rest for the weary” were two ways judge Chersi summed up the common challenges facing CFOs as they work to protect their companies. In their remarks, the finalists discussed the difficulty of adapting to new technologies and how to reinvent their companies while maintaining original missions. Bartow, who won in the small company category, said her company’s “systems have to be more and more robust” to keep up with the increasingly complex ways businesses are run. By implementing more sophisticated tools, Bartow said her team is able to use “data in a way that’ll be more useful, efficient and effective.” Brudnicki, who won in the large company category, said the medical community has been forced to keep pace with advances in technology. “The real challenge providers like us are faced with is how do we take the technology of today, how do we roll that technology into

the communities where people live so they can receive the care they need closer to home, or even at home,” Brudnicki said. Feldman, who works for the Westchester Jewish Community Services nonprofit that provides mental health programs to the community, said her organization is largely funded by the government, which means there can be many unknown components in funding. “There are constant changes in how our revenue is computed and how the streams are coming in,” she said. “It’s our goal in our finance department to be well-informed of all these revenue streams and advise all the administrative leadership of the changes that are coming.” Hirschhorn, who won in the mid-sized category, has helped lead Teladoc through four acquisitions and an IPO. He his company has lasted by finding innovative ways to connect patients with physicians. “The challenge we’re faced with is continuing to evangelize, evangelizing the fact that, with Teladoc, we’ve created and we’ve removed barriers to access. Barriers that now 13 million people have access to a physician in typically under 10 minutes,” he said. McGladrey, TD Bank, Rakow Commercial Realty Group, New Country Audi and Val’s Putnam Wines & Liquors also sponsored the event.

Investing used to be a whole lot simpler. Traditionally, if stocks were outperforming, bonds were not. Therefore, as long as your portfolio had a healthy mix of each, you’d be poised to prosper. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore, as dealing with finances has grown more complicated in recent years. When the financial crisis hit the U.S., the recessionary effects were felt around the world. Today, the U.S. economy is still recovering, and central banks in Europe and Japan grapple with ways to reinvigorate their economies. The crisis taught us that portfolios composed solely of stocks and bonds (for instance, large caps and government debt) were vulnerable to loss. Having a truly diversified portfolio, with a robust blend of investments across and within different asset classes – including public and private investments – offers the best chance at reaping the highest possible return while managing volatility. So what’s an investor to do? Develop a plan. To get where you want to go, you need a map with clear goals and

a carefully designed route based on proven portfolio construction principles. A plan will also provide ongoing discipline to maintain a steady hand amid volatile markets or asset class bubbles. A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO EARNED

Knocking down the costly top five barriers to diversity and inclusion in your organization

wenty years ago, when most of us thought of “diversity” the prefix “bio” was attached to it along with visions of nature. Today, diversity has become big business for corporate America and many organizations. The Glass Ceiling Commission found companies had two-and-a-half times better stock market performance when they invested in glass-ceiling related issues versus companies that ignored them. Racially diverse companies have 15 times more revenue than the least racially diverse, which explains why 40 percent of the companies with $5 billion in revenue have diversity as a focus in recruitment. However, many organizations feel stuck in their diversity mission, in part, because they do not know the difference between diversity and inclusion. Diversity is like being invited to sit at a table that is already set; inclusion is being asked to partner with the host and help set up the table. Inclusion can be measured with the level of employee engagement in your organization, which drives the overall quality of your staff and has a positive impact throughout the

company. Studies have shown it is natural for people to create “in” groups and “out” groups, depending on similarities and differences. The more people perceive someone to be different, the less likely they feel comfortable with or trust them — thus putting the person in their “out” group. Knowing the benefits of an inclusive work environment, why do some organizations still operate with a mindset of exclusivity; creating inclusion roadblocks that are difficult to overcome? Identifying these five roadblocks in your organization is critical to success for 21st century business because when you knock them down your whole company will be better for it.

Informal mentoring

Formal mentoring pairs often have the best intentions; however, they rely on trust and shared interest being manufactured. Informal mentoring is a self-selecting process in which a senior leader has chosen to guide and care for the career development of a junior colleague. Trust and shared interest are inherent in the relationship. Informal mentor-

Yelling, abusive emails and character assassinations are just some of the tactics workplace bullies use to usurp the power base in an organization. Bullies will target “out” group members who seem vulnerable because they do not have strong informal mentors or allies. Managers should be concerned about and put an end to bullying because it can destroy a team and decreases work productivity.

Although everyone makes mistakes, how they are dealt with makes all the difference. Are you given a second chance or are you forever marked as the careless employee? Studies have shown we have a greater tendency to blame external factors when our “in” group members make mistakes, for example,

understanding a report was late because the printer was broken. However, when “out” group members make mistakes, we attribute their mistakes to their personal flaws; that is, a broken printer is no excuse because there were ample days to complete the report. While an employer may be instilling good relations with one employee, she is potentially ostracizing the employee she chooses to penalize. When employees in “out” groups notice they are treated by the book while their majority counterparts are not, this creates an environment that says discriminatory discipline is part of the unwritten rules of the workplace.

ing is like a senior leader being obsessed with your success. Often, informally mentoring members of “out” groups is difficult because, unconsciously, we are more likely to be invested in someone’s career development and create opportunities for them when we can see ourselves in a colleague. To challenge this natural inclination, think about the person who you feel adds the greatest diversity to your team and ask yourself, “When was the last time I invited this person out for coffee or gave this person feedback on an assignment?” If your answers are consistent with your answers for other team members who are comfortably in your “in” group, then you are on the right track. If not, an outing for coffee or sharing informal feedback are solid steps in the right direction.

Insensitivity Organizations often do not realize how changes in their employee and client demographics may require a few tweaks to their social traditions. The jokes, comments and even events that were once held may have a negative impact on the talent who adds a new dimension of diversity to your office. Insensitivity can even become a source of workplace stress, which can result in burnout, low morale, drug use and violence. Ultimately, insensitivity can expose organizations to costly employment lawsuits. The manager who ignores complaints of insensitive conduct is just as guilty as the person who makes the offending comment or gesture.

Perceived Underperformance

Kevin Costner’s character in the movie “Field of Dreams” was inspired to turn his farm into a baseball field when a voice told him, “If you build it, he will come.” People are influenced to act based on their beliefs, which create perceptions, which — whether false or true — become reality. When you unconsciously believe employees in an “out” group are less skilled, less qualified or less talented, you consciously look for affirmation of these beliefs. If you start a relationship from the premise an employee is not going to succeed, more often than not, that employee

will not succeed. Similar to how work styles can obscure a manager’s perceptions about an employee’s abilities, visible characteristics can also distract managers from truly valuing the employee’s work. Sometimes, those who bring a dimension of diversity to the office might not be appreciated because their managers and coworkers are considering the person doing the work and not the content. When your subjective perception about how someone will work interferes with their objective performance, everyone loses. Training and other strategic actions steps can move your organization in the right direction toward diversity and inclusion. Increased profits, improved reputation and employee engagement are just a few of the huge returns on your investment of time and resources when knocking down these five inclusion barriers. Natalie Holder is a New York City employment lawyer, corporate trainer and author of “Exclusion: Strategies for Increasing Diversity in Recruitment, Retention, and Promotion.” The cofounder of the New York State Bar Association Labor & Employment Law Section’s Diversity Fellowship Program, she received the Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award in 2013 from New York University.

IN 2015–2016:

A BIG PUSH FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT As Westchester continues to emerge as one of the nation’s leading healthcare and biotech hubs, the WCA is emphasizing workforce development as one of the key factors in fueling economic growth and development. “We’re leading change in Westchester County that will have regional and national impact,” says Bill Mooney, CEO of the Westchester County Association (WCA). To that end, the WCA has a five-pronged plan to attract, retain, and encourage talented and skilled workers to locate in Westchester: • The Hudson Valley Workforce Academy To help fill 2500+ job vacancies in technology, healthcare, and business in the region; focuses on training the existing workforce in high-demand skills; developed in collaboration with the region’s employers; courses offered in analytics, critical thinking, empathy training, communication, and management, among others, taught by higher ed and business industry leaders; • $9.8 million Federal Ready to Work Partnership Grant (“The Jobs Waiting Program”) WCA administers this grant in partnership with the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board and One-Stop Employment Centers throughout the Hudson Valley; WCA oversees intensive training of 425 long-term unemployed individuals, to help fill the need for skilled workers in the healthcare field; • Women in Tech Initiative To encourage girls and women to enter STEM fields through collaboration with area businesses and the education sectors. The capstone is the WCA’s annual Women in Tech luncheon to raise awareness, honor outstanding women in various STEM fields, and encourage mentoring. • Engineering School Feasibility Study To attract and train a new generation of engineers for our Innovation Economy and the educated workforce Westchester’s high tech, scientific industries require; • Recruit Westchester The region’s only collaborative job and internship fair , bringing together Westchester’s business community and the area’s students and alumni . “It is critical to have an educated workforce which will lead to even greater innovation and technological advances,” says Mooney.

(Photo: Lynda Curtis)

echnology and Big Data are driving forces in economic development, yet only a small percentage of all women in the United States (reports range from 11% to 26%) enter STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields. Clearly, we’re not there yet, according to five women scientists, and a keynote speaker at WCA’s Second Annual Women in Tech Luncheon – a sold-out event, held at Tappan Hill on October first. But those stats can change.

As Andrea Soto, Chief of Staff to President, Global Operations and Technology, MasterCard observed: “I’ve noticed that women are not promoting themselves. Our male friends may have half the credentials, but they go for it [opportunity]; women won’t go for it until they think they are 100% qualified.” Part of the solution lies in breaking down stereotypes and cultural bias, and instilling a can-do attitude in girls. “My parents reminded me that Ginger Rodgers did everything Fred Astaire did but she did it backwards and in heels,” Soto quipped. But to remain competitive, we need to fill the skills and talent gap. Keynote speaker Linda Sanford, senior advisor and former Senior Vice President of Enterprise Transformation at IBM Corporation, remarked: “Technology is pushing us into the future. Marketing is leveraging technology; healthcare is leveraging technology... We need more technical women.” And that means addressing cultural bias, stereotyping, and our educational system and practices early on to ensure that girls have the skills to seize tomorrow’s opportunity. Said Sanford: “We need to think differently. We need to ask questions; collaborate; communicate. Things are changing so rapidly; disruptive change is happening everyday. Change is not something to be fearful of.”

BY JANET ODGIS

Make yourself stand out from the crowd

hat’s in a name and a logo? Plenty. Your company’s core identity, for one. Your name and logo (your branding, taken together) represent the first glimpse potential clients get of you, and longtime clients take comfort in the stability and reassurance your branding confers. If you’re thinking of altering it for whatever reason — a shuffle in the leadership ranks, a desire to be more descriptive or visually contemporary — here are five key considerations.

Familiarity breeds contentment However long your company’s history, its name is an invaluable commodity. You’ve made a substantial investment in establishing it in clients’ minds and the broader business marketplace. Older companies risk de-emphasizing decades of hard-won recognition; newer ones risk a step back to square one. A branding overhaul can be invigorating, but be sure you’re ready to make it happen.

Half a loaf or whole hog? Might a partial branding shift meet your needs better than a wholesale switch — per-

haps shortening to an acronym rather than changing the name outright? A roughly analogous situation cropped up in January, when floundering smartphone pioneer Research in Motion changed its name to BlackBerry, rebranding itself after the classic product that brought it to prominence. Consumer confusion was likely to be minimal, but the move gave off an unmistakable odor of desperation. How much of your company’s current branding ought to be kept and what is the reaction likely to be? Perhaps leave the name intact but give the logo a fresh, contemporary makeover. Half measures are sometimes more effective than complete transformations.

Let’s get whimsical? A company should never sacrifice solemn professionalism on the altar of irreverence, right? Well, maybe: Consider Morrison & Foerster, a prominent law firm specializing in finance, technology and life sciences, with offices in 16 countries. It refers to itself, with a hint of salaciousness, as “MoFo,” and it doesn’t shy from the term: “About MoFo.” “MoFo Women.” “MoFo Foundation.”

Risky? Sure, a little, but also an artful balance of the madcap and the serious. And it’s nothing if not memorable. The firm’s logo remains crisp and professional, its credentials beyond dispute. Such cheek might be too much for many practices, but it helps underscore that creative branding and beautiful design, while a modest component of client service, are essential all the same.

The affection connection Clients, especially longtime clients, often feel tremendous loyalty to a company’s name and, somewhat less overtly, its logo. Presumably, few people select a company because they like the sound of its name or the look of its logo. But don’t discount the almost familial connection such things can inspire: Twitter’s bluebird. The playful sound of Google. Coca-Cola’s timeless script lettering. This is especially true for makers of consumer goods, of course, but the premise holds across all company types. Increasing clients’ fondness for your company is one of the more subtle benefits of a high-quality rebranding.

Differentiate the positive The above are all crucial elements of brand differentiation, a vital consideration when your company merges with another or mulls a redo of its overall look. A stellar example of differentiation is designer Paul Rand’s two transformations — in 1956 and 1972 — of the logo of International Business Machines into the blocky, then striped, IBM logo still instantly recognizable today. (IBM had first abbreviated its corporate name in 1947 — a highly uncommon move at the time.) Similarly dramatic changes for your firm must take into account partner names and sensitivities, as well as the potential effect on your relationship with current and prospective clients. Done thoughtfully and artfully, though, brand differentiation of this nature can ultimately, like Rand’s iconic IBM, become a classic.

How to build an authority on the web

ver wonder how to build an authority on the web? I’m talking about the type of authority that allows you to become a credible leader in your niche, generate a full-time income and help others. When you build an authority on the web, you become a beacon of excellence for others to follow. Building an authority on the web takes time, but a good portion of that time is spent searching for the blueprint. How can you do something if you don’t know how? You can’t solve a Rubik’s Cube unless you know the necessary steps. In the same way, you can’t become an authority on the web unless you know what it takes to become one. No more guessing. I’m showing you the blueprint.

1. Provide free value Providing value is essential for the success of your business and what you stand for. Many people understand this principle. However, some entrepreneurs tend to ignore the idea of providing a portion of their content for free. Customers look for the free value before they buy anything you sell. People visiting your blog or YouTube channel for the first time are not eager to buy your product. They are looking for free value. Many of the people who buy my products read my blog posts first. It makes sense that people who read my blog posts would buy my books. The reasoning hinges on two customer beliefs: First, the paid product is better than the free product. Second, if the free content and videos are bad, then the paid product must also be bad. Providing free value in your blog posts and your YouTube videos allows you to get more exposure and, ultimately, more revenue.

2. Build relationships Providing free value is critical to building healthy relationships with the people in your audience, but starting the relationships requires more than just valuable content. Building relationships means interaction through email blasts, social media and responding to blog comments. What successful people tend to do is ignore others. Many people in high positions look at their

email and don’t always address the newbie asking a few questions. We respond to those newbies. Taking the time to leave a quick response allows you to help someone, and the people you help will see you as a role model of excellence. On social media, the relationship starts when you follow someone and that person follows you back. It gets continued through interaction. Social media interaction eventually leads to interaction through email. Once relationships gain strong momentum, they keep building and leading into more opportunities, revenue and friendships.

work at a time is what resulted in more than 300,000 social media followers.

In conclusion Building an authority on the web is only difficult if you think it’s difficult. What initially looks impossible at first glance is quite possible. The more work you put in, the easier it will become. If you want to view building an authority on the web as an easy endeavor,

then you must take rapid action. Many things look scary because we don’t take immediate action. Once we start, our worldview of the impossible goals suddenly changes. Believe in your ability to build an authority, put in the work, and it will happen. Marc Guberti is a senior at Fordham Preparatory School and a social media and business blogger and author.

3. Create products Having your own product will establish yourself as an expert and create an additional stream of income. Creating your own products and effectively marketing them is by far the best way to make revenue on the web. The products you create reflect how much you knew at the time, but learning more will allow you to create better, more successful products in the future. Better yet, you can update your current products to reflect the new things you learn about your niche. Updating your products allows you to over-deliver to your current customers and provide a better experience for your new customers.

4. Grow your audience Once you implement the first three methods, all you have to do now is get more people to know about you. The most effective tool on the web to grow your audience is social media. Whether you use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or another social network, you must use social media. If you want to grow a massive social media audience, then you must take on one social network at a time. Imagine trying to learn five different languages at the same time. That’s what we do when we try to master Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram and Periscope at the same time. I recognized this trap and committed my social media time to Twitter. Once I mastered Twitter, I started to master other social networks. Each time you master one social network, it is easier for you to master all of the others. Mastering one social net-

INBRIEF OC ACCELERATOR HAS NEW NAME The Orange County Business Accelerator in New Windsor has a new name — The Accelerator. Orange County Industrial Development Agency officials said the name change reflects the state-certified accelerator’s new focus and expanded marketing to reach all seven counties in the Hudson Valley region. Financially supported by the county IDA, the facility at Stewart International Airport is focused on bringing back manufacturing to the mid-Hudson Valley. It works to attract entrepreneurs looking to expand their business ventures in fashion design and production, bottling, artisan manufacturing and artisan foods. The accelerator offers below-market occupancy costs for small companies, workforce training, mentoring programs, access to manufacturing equipment and experienced professionals, and a high-tech, plug-and-play environment. Laurie Villasuso, associate executive director of the Orange County IDA, said the new name “better reflects the new dimension of this organization, which will foster job creation and economic growth in the manufacturing sector. There is a tremendous opportunity to bring manufacturing back to the Hudson Valley — due to its prime location just outside of New York City — and we’re very excited about this new initiative.” Villasuso said The Accelerator has welcomed its first client, Unshattered, an organization that makes handbags out of used clothing. It is the social enterprise arm of the Walter Hoving Home, a residential rehabilitation center in Garrison for women dealing with drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution and other problems. Unshattered will hire women full time in New Windsor after they complete their program at the Walter Hoving Home, which receives all sale proceeds from the handbag business.

STAFFING AGENCY WORKERS INDICTED The owner and manager of an Orange County nurse staffing agency have been indicted after allegedly falsifying the employment history of individuals they put forward for licensing as director and teacher for their planned certified nursing assistant training institute, state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said in a statement. Major Staffing LLC Owner Regina Yankey, 38, of Middletown, and manager Debra Polera, 63, of Newburgh, were charged

with nine counts of first-degree offering a false instrument for filing. Schneiderman said the two knowingly submitted nine different falsified documents to the Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision in Albany from November 2013 to June 2014. Yankey and Polera allegedly falsely submitted the information in order to have approved their planned training institute, Kings Career Training Institute, a school to train certified nursing assistants for the chronically ill and elderly. “Falsifying the credentials of those tasked with training individuals who will take care of vulnerable New Yorkers is irresponsible,” Schneiderman said. “Nursing home staff must have the highest level of training and experience; New Yorkers should expect nothing less.”

ELANT CHOICE REBRANDS AS EVERCARE

fied home health agency; and an adult social day program at its 31 Cerone Place campus in Newburgh. EverCare CEO and President Sylvia McTigue said the company will offer services ranging from insurance product to home care. “This change is a logical step in our evolution and gives us an umbrella under which we can continue to expand our services during our next phase of growth and development,” McTigue said. According to the company, EverCare provides roughly 1,000 patients access to home care through its EverCare Choice, EverCare at Home and adult social day programs.

Elant Choice Inc., a Newburgh-based, home access health care organization serving the mid-Hudson Valley, has rebranded as EverCare. The move comes after Elant Choice announced earlier this year it was separating from its Goshen-based parent company, Elant Inc. EverCare provides home-care services and management of skilled nursing, personal care aides, medical transportation, home delivered meals, rehabilitative therapies, podiatry, audiology and dentistry for its clients. The company’s service portfolio includes EverCare Choice, a managed longterm care plan; EverCare at Home, a certi-

SPECIAL REPORT BUSINESS TRAVEL

For Westchester’s Skyqueen, aviation is a 24/7 affair BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

illie Hernandez-Becker has an office in a far corner of Westchester County Airport removed from the commercial traffic and hubbub of the main terminal. A sales and marketing specialist and consultant in private aviation, she works from the office of one of her clients, Houstonbased Million Air, a fixed base operator serving private travelers and aircraft from Hangar M at the county airport. The remote location of the airport’s corporate and privately operated hangars on Tower Road was by design, HernandezBecker said in an interview with the Business Journal, to keep wealthy Westchester plane owners out of the public eye. That maintenance of customers’ privacy, along with the aircraft they own or charter, continues today. “Discretion is a key ingredient here,” she said. The owner of Skyqueen Enterprises, a one-woman company she launched in 2004, Hernandez-Becker describes herself as “a hired gun” for the general aviation industry. She consults with individuals and companies shopping for planes or fractional ownership of one, arranges charter flights and works with business clients to develop their sales and marketing and, as she does for Million Air, to boost their market share of airport fuel sales. “I also like to put people together,” she said, connecting clients in need of capital or an architect, contractor or attorney. For airplane purchases, “I can make sure that people are making good decisions and they are aware of the consequences of the decisions they’re making. If you don’t know enough, you can really get hurt in this business. I’m insurance that you don’t get hurt at this kind of purchase.” “Right now business is very good,” she said. “In the past five months, I have three clients who are purchasing airplanes. They’re first-time buyers” acquiring private planes for the businesses they own, she said. It’s a buyer’s market at airports. A used Hawker 850, for example, a popular eightseat charter jet, sells for about $4 million. “That airplane used to sell for $12 million to $16 million,” Hernandez-Becker said. The Great Recession sent values of used

airplanes into a tailspin from which they have not recovered. “There was a correction right after the recession,” she said. “All airplane values have dropped dramatically. Those airplanes that are still out there, they’re going to remain low. They’re not going to come back up. They’re not like a house.” Working with both business and leisure travelers, “I’ve taken board members to visit factories in the Caribbean, in India, in China, and I’ve also flown people to Nantucket” for vacations, she said. “I’ve flown Hillary Clinton when she was senator,” said Hernandez-Becker, whose discretion in business keeps her from dropping any more names of the VIPs and celebrities who have used her services. Her corporate clients include Flex Jet, Aircraft Services Group, Goldman Sachs and The Carlyle Group. “I don’t work for everybody. I have the luxury of being able to choose who I work for. Companies that I work for are special.” “To work with Goldman Sachs, The Carlyle Group, these great financial minds, it’s very valuable for me to be at the table. Typically I’m the only woman at the table,” she said. “I love this business. Aviation is very infectious. It’s very much a culture. “We are a community that is very driven by excellence, by procedures, by the 24/7 culture. You’re on call all the time. It’s very exciting.” The daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants who operated a chain of bodegas and later a medallion taxi business in Manhattan, Hernandez-Becker caught the aviation infection as a 22-year-old first-grade teacher in the New York City school system. She took a summer job at LaGuardia Airport as a reservations agent with New York Air. It led her to abandon one fledgling career for another, more exciting one. She learned the industry at a series of jobs as ticket agent, flight attendant and an airline terminal manager at LaGuardia. In 1986, she joined Westchester Air, a former charter flight company at the county airport. The boss who recruited her and Westchester Air’s founder, David M. Becker, became her husband four years later.

A pilot, Becker was killed in a plane crash in 1994, leaving Hernandez- Becker to continue their 22-employee business on her own. “I always say business requires passion, planning and a partner,” she said. “He was my partner. Not only did I suffer a loss personally, but I suffered a loss in the business.” She continued to run Westchester Air until 2003, when she sold the company to Jet Equity, a private equity firm in Greenwich, and joined the new owner as a partner and vice president of marketing and sales for Skyport, the fixed base operator Jet Equity acquired at the Westchester airport. She continued in that marketing role when Landmark Aviation acquired Skyport about two years later. Hernandez-Becker remarried about four years after her husband’s fatal accident and was raising a son from that marriage while running the aviation business. Their boy was diagnosed with autism when he was 18 months old. “That is something that you’re never prepared for,” Hernandez-Becker said. “It required an intense amount of focus, attention and commitment. …I had to be his CEO;

I couldn’t be the CEO of Westchester Air. So I sold it. I made a choice.” “It took me 2½ years” to close a deal. “You just don’t sell a company overnight.” Hernandez-Becker launched Skyqueen Enterprises in the transition from her nearly two decades at Westchester Air. “I wanted to establish myself as a brand and as an entity,” she said. Working from her family’s home in Pound Ridge, “I started very small.” In a career journey that has spanned more than 30 years, “Aviation has taken me places I never would have gone if I had stayed where I was as a school teacher,” HernandezBecker said. And that 24/7 journey continues. “I enjoy what I do, so it’s easy for me. It’s part of who I am. It’s really a part of my makeup,” she said. “Stay tuned,” the owner of Skyqueen Enterprises advised. “This is an industry that is growing. The problem that we’re having is that the infrastructure at these airports is not keeping up with the new aircraft.” Immersed in that growing industry, “I think I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be,” said Hernandez-Becker. “I think it’s pretty nice to be able to say that.” WCBJ | HV Biz

BAD SEED CIDER JOINS ALLIANCE

UTILITY’S ROBOT TEST FIRST IN THE NATION

Bad Seed Cider Co. LLC has joined the Hudson Valley Food & Beverage Alliance according to the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC). As a cluster initiative of the HVEDC, the alliance works to strengthen and expand the Hudson Valley’s food and beverage industry by providing economic and marketing support to businesses in the region. “The success of Bad Seed Cider reflects the region’s ever-expanding craft alcoholic beverage industry. Bad Seed is a unique, forward-thinking hard cider company run by a great management team with keen insights and industry experience who are committed to supporting the growth of our regional economy,” said Laurence P. Gottlieb, president and CEO of HVEDC. Bad Seed Cider was founded in 2011 in Highland and has since found significant success in the region’s booming alcoholic beverage industry. The company’s ciders are all natural and crafted with freshpressed apples from co-founder Albert Wilklow’s family farm. The company’s founders have worked to create new and innovative hard ciders that are advancing the standards of the craft cider business. Since the company’s launch in 2011, Bad Seed Cider has experienced increasing demand for its products and substantially expanded its production facilities.

Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. recently conducted the nation’s first live production run of the innovative Explorer 16/18 robot to inspect the inside of a natural gas transmission line. The robot is a larger version of a similar unit first tested by Central Hudson in 2012; this is the fourth time the innovative technology was deployed by Central Hudson. The test was performed in conjunction with NYSEARCH, the research and development sub-organization of the Northeast Gas Association and Pipetel Technologies, a commercial service provider and manufacturer. The 9-foot Explorer is a tetherless, self-propelled robot that uses battery power. Seven flexible segments allow it to make 90-degree turns and navigate nearly any obstacle. The robot uses two cameras, one at each end, which provide a 360-degree view of the inside of the

HRHCARE HOSTS FUNDRAISER HRHCare, one of the largest federally qualified health center systems in the country hosted its 11th annual gala Cornucopia: A Celebratory Benefit of Harvest & Health at Crabtree’s Kittle House in Chappaqua.

Richter, board chairman of the HRHCare Foundation and chairman of the HRHCare board of directors: and Steven M. Safyer, president and CEO of the Montefiore Health System, for their work in expanding community health care to everyone who needs it.

pipe and features three lasers and 96 sensors to collect data on pipe wall conditions. Explorer allows for the inspection of pipelines featuring short radius turns, valves with reduced openings or ports and other characteristics that may prevent the use of traditional in-line methods of inspection. The robot was recently used to inspect a 3,000-foot section of a Central Hudson natural gas transmission line, a portion of which travels beneath a roadway, that would have been difficult and costly to assess using traditional external methods. The inspection took place over eight hours and did not require an interruption in natural gas service. “This technology dramatically improves our ability to inspect high-pressure natural gas transmission lines,” said James P. Laurito, president of Central Hudson.

CNR PRESIDENT RECEIVES CHAMBER AWARD The New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce presented Judith Huntington, president of The College of New Rochelle, with the Business and Professional Award at its Women of Excellence Dinner on Oct. 1. The dinner, which was held at Beckwith Pointe, honored five women for their contributions to the New Rochelle community. Amy Bass, professor of history and director of the honors program in the School of Arts & Sciences, introduced Huntington saying, “From the first day she stepped into office, President Huntington has been a transparent and available leader. She is continually reinventing ways for students to have access to their president and because of that they have an unremitting role model.”

Bass also remarked that Huntington is eager to see what students are up to in the classroom, and that students are equally eager to demonstrate their work. In accepting the award, Huntington praised the essential role of the chamber of commerce in the most significant economic development initiative in New Rochelle history. “The commitment to undertake such ambitious change while respecting our city’s history and identity really resonates with me,” she said. “Because at CNR, respecting tradition and embracing transformation is exactly what we are doing.” Noting the challenges that face higher education, Huntington pointed out that such challenges provide the impetus to change and improve.

HGAR FOUNDATION RAISES NEARLY$15,000

REHABILITATION THROUGH THE ARTS GARNERS NATIONAL AWARD

Deputy Director Ricki Gold and William Hanauer former mayor of the village of Ossining.

Rehabilitation Through The Arts (RTA), the Katonahbased organization that works in five New York prisons throughout the Hudson Valley region, including Sing Sing Correctional Facility, is one of five nonprofit organizations in the United States to receive the pres-

tigious 2015 Paul H. Chapman Award from the Foundation for Improvement of Justice Inc. Recently, Ricki Gold, RTA deputy director, accepted a $10,000 award from the foundation during its annual awards banquet at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta. “We are truly honored,” said RTA Founder and Executive Director Katherine Vockins – who founded RTA in 1996 as a small theater group in Sing Sing – to receive this national award. Being recognized by the Foundation for Improvement of Justice is very special to RTA because we work mostly inside prison and out of the public eye. We are grateful to be among the recipients selected each year by their board of directors to receive the generous award.” “The success of RTA,” explained Vockins, “is to use the arts to teach life skills that will help prisoners, inside the walls and when they transition successfully out of prison back into regular, day-to-day society after released.”

The Hudson Gateway Realtors Foundation raised nearly $15,000 at its inaugural gala held at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle. The foundation is the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors and was created for the purpose of giving back to local communities by donating funds to charitable organizations throughout the Hudson Valley. Monies raised at this first annual gala will benefit charities throughout the Hudson Valley, as determined by the foundation. Previously, HGAR has made donations to Make-A-Wish® Hudson Valley in Tarrytown, Green Chimneys in Brewster and People to People in Nanuet. “We are so pleased at the outcome of this first-ever event and are looking forward to making next year’s gala even more successful,” said Drew Kessler, HGAR president.
