CARTHAGE — Expansion seems to be the name of the game for Slack Chemical Co., Inc., of Carthage, which recently opened a new 26,000-square-foot, $2.4 million plant in Saratoga Springs.

The new facility will help the company better serve the East Coast region as well as provide necessary space for Slack to break into some new markets, company owner and President Robert Sturtz says. Slack Chemical has customers across New York as well as New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Ontario, Canada.

Munter Enterprises, Inc., of Middle Grove (Saratoga County), built the facility as a turnkey operation in the W.J. Grande Industrial Park in Saratoga Springs. Between 30 percent and 40 percent of the total project cost went toward the seven-acre site’s infrastructure, according to Sturtz. Slack Chemical took ownership of the building at the end of December and has occupied the structure since the beginning of this year.

“It’s built quite versatile,” Sturtz says of the new facility. As a chemical distributor, warehouse, and re-packager, Slack needs facilities that can contain spills and provide spaces for all different types of mixing processes, he says.

Sturtz bought Slack Chemical in 1987, when it generated about $3 million in annual sales and did the bulk of its business selling chemicals to paper mills in northern New York. As those mills began to close, “we had to do something,” Sturtz says. His answer was diversification, and now Slack sells chemicals to a variety of industries. The paper industry now comprises just 8 or 9 percent of Slack’s total business, he says.

Other sectors the company serves are municipal-water treatment, dairy (primarily cheese-production plants), swimming pools, co-generation facilities, and the wholesale ice-melt business.

“It gives us a bit of stability because it isn’t coming from all one industry,” Sturtz says of his company’s diverse customer base these days.

He’s hoping to expand that diversity even more with the new Saratoga Springs structure, which includes 20,000 square feet of operating space and 6,000 square feet of labs and office space.

Sturtz hopes to tap into the food-grade blending market, beyond what Slack Chemical already does for cheese plants. “We didn’t have the proper facility to offer that,” he says. The new building offers that capability now.

The new building is also fairly close to the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering’s NanoTech Complex, providing opportunity to build sales in that market, Sturtz says. “We do some business with them, and there is more to be done,” he adds.

Slack Chemical’s expansion isn’t done with the Saratoga Springs project. The company is currently renovating and expanding the former Climax Manufacturing Co. factory in Castorland in Lewis County. Slack owns the facility, which used to produce wooden and paper boxes. Some portion of the plant was destroyed by fire years ago, Sturtz says, but the company still has about 125,000 square feet of space there. In addition, Slack is adding 10,000 square feet of new warehousing space.

“We’ll probably be doing some more expanding there in the coming years, as well,” Sturtz says.

Between the additional warehouse space and the new Saratoga Springs facility, Sturtz hopes to see Slack Chemical’s sales grow about 11 percent this year to reach $40 million.

The company employs about 100 people during the summer months and about 85 in the winter, including 12 salespeople.

Headquartered at 4655 Clinton St. in Carthage, Slack Chemical (www.slackchem.com) has more than 200,000 square feet of warehouse space, more than 65 bulk storage vessels, and a fleet including 30 tankers for delivery.

Upstate consumer sentiment edged up in February

New York News, Subscriber Only

The shaky start to 2014 on Wall Street and the negative feeling that followed may have carried over into February, according to one analyst. And, it may have affected New York consumers’ willingness to spend. Consumer sentiment in upstate New York rose 2.1 points to 74.1 in February, according to the latest monthly survey that

Consumer sentiment in upstate New York rose 2.1 points to 74.1 in February, according to the latest monthly survey that the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI) released today.

Upstate’s overall-sentiment index of 74.1 is a combination of the current-sentiment and future-sentiment components. Upstate’s current-sentiment index of 83 rose 2.3 points from January, while the future-sentiment level increased 2 points to 68.4, according to the SRI data.

The upstate figure was 2.2 points below the statewide consumer-sentiment level of 76.3, which fell 1.2 points from January, SRI said.

New York’s consumer-sentiment index was 5.3 points lower than the February figure of 81.6 for the entire nation, which rose 0.4 points from January, as measured by the University of Michigan’s consumer-sentiment index.

The figures left Doug Lonnstrom, professor of statistics and finance at Siena College and SRI founding director, “kind of surprised.”

“I actually thought we might have better numbers in February,” he says.

Even though the stock market had a “good year” in 2013, “the floor just fell out” in January, Lonnstrom says, and he believes that negative feeling carried over in February.

“I mean the consumer got so whipsawed in January with all those gains they made last year, and they saw a lot of that go away in January; it scared the daylights out of them,” Lonnstrom says. “I mean that affects their pension plan, [and] buying plans.”

The stock market then “bounced back” in February, hitting some new highs, but that isn’t reflected in this survey’s figures, he adds.

Lonnstrom maintains consumers may have been “really worried” about the market activity in January.

When compared with the previous three years, the state’s overall consumer sentiment of 76.3 is down 1 point from February 2013, up 1.5 points from February 2012, and has increased 8.6 points compared to February 2011, according to the SRI data. The sentiment index measured 60.8 in February 2009.

In February, buying plans rose 2.7 points to 14.1 percent for cars and trucks. Buying plans were down 3.3 points to 28.6 percent for consumer electronics; decreased 5.6 points to 18.3 percent for furniture; slipped 1.4 points to 3.9 percent for homes; and fell 1.6 points to 13.5 percent for major home improvements.

Gas and food prices
In SRI’s monthly analysis of gas and food prices, 58 percent of upstate respondents said the price of gas was having a serious impact on their monthly budgets, which is down from 62 percent in January.

In addition, 51 percent of statewide respondents indicated concern about the price of gas, up from 50 percent in January, according to SRI.

When asked about food prices, 62 percent of upstate respondents indicated the price of groceries was having a serious impact on their finances, down from 67 percent in January and 71 percent in December.

About 63 percent of statewide respondents expressed concern about their food bills, down from 65 percent in December.

SRI conducted its survey of consumer sentiment in February by random telephone calls to 623 New York residents over the age of 18.

As consumer sentiment is expressed as an index number developed after statistical calculations to a series of questions, “margin of error” does not apply, SRI says.

Buying plans, which are shown as a percentage based on answers to specific questions, have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 points, SRI said.

Cuomo, Oneida Nation begin payments to counties following 2013 casino settlement

Insurance & Financial Services, Law, Accounting & Taxes, Subscriber Only

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Oneida Indian Nation on March 11 initiated the first of “substantial dedicated payments” to Madison and Oneida counties, marking the formal approval of their “milestone” settlement. That’s how Cuomo’s office described the development in a news release about the payments. The release followed a conference call with reporters.

That’s how Cuomo’s office described the development in a news release about the payments. The release followed a conference call with reporters.

“The deal was a win for the Oneida Nation, for Oneida and Madison counties, and for the state of New York, and with the court’s sign-off today, the money will actually start flowing,” Cuomo said during the conference call.

Cuomo, along with Oneida Indian Nation representative Ray Halbritter, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, and John Becker, chairman of the Oneida County Board of Supervisors, discussed the details in that conference call.

“Madison County is going to receive $11 million. Oneida County will begin to receive its share of … $12.5 million in annual funds next month,” Cuomo said during his remarks.

Cuomo and Halbritter announced the transfer of $11 million to Madison County to settle tax claims, according to the Cuomo news release.

Madison County will also soon begin benefitting from annual payments of $3.5 million from the state pursuant to the agreement with the Oneida Nation.

New York, beginning next month, will also provide Oneida County with annual payments of between $10 million and $12 million from the state’s share of revenue from the Oneida Nation “net win” from slot machines.

Additionally, the state will provide Oneida County with an additional $2.5 million for the next 19 and one-quarter years to cover tax claims, according to Cuomo’s office.

U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Kahn last week accepted the New York and Oneida Nation agreement of 2013 that settled decades of dispute and put to rest outstanding land claim, gaming, tobacco taxation, and revenue-sharing issues.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last May 16 announced an agreement between the state and the Oneida Indian Nation that will have the Nation paying the state an estimated $50 million a year in Turning Stone Resort & Casino revenue in return for a guarantee that no other casinos are built in Central New York.

The court’s approval last week represented the “final step” in putting the full agreement into effect, Cuomo’s office said in the news release. The New York State Legislature, Madison County, Oneida County, the U.S. Department of Interior, and the New York State Attorney General had previously ratified the agreement.

“Last year, we said collectively enough is enough. Two-hundred years of conflict is too long. The uncertainty and the acrimony was preventing economic development in Central New York and we couldn’t afford to have it go on any longer,” Cuomo said.

The funds will target economic development in Central New York, including job creation in Madison and Oneida counties, the governor added.

It’s an agreement that’s not just a piece of paper with just words and a signature, Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation representative, said in his remarks during the call.

“It enshrines the shared vision we all have for the future of the region, as it is a financial agreement about shared revenues, so, economically this is big news.”

The leaders in both Madison and Oneida counties also shared their thoughts.

The $11 million check is a “much-needed” financial boost for Madison County that “satisfies” the back taxes, but also represents “more than that,” John Becker, chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors, said in his remarks during the conference call.

“It’s a signal that with the right leadership, long-standing disputes can be quelled and both sides can come to terms on an agreement that leads us to prosperity for all,” Becker says.

The Oneida Nation represents “value,” … not just to the state of New York but to [the Oneida County region] as the largest employer, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, said in his remarks during the call.

“This revenue [deal] is not just about settling past differences, it’s about working together in a partnership,” Picente said.

The 2013 settlement ended decades of litigation over property tax, land, and reservation issues.

The agreement grants the Oneida Nation exclusive rights to casino gaming in Central New York in exchange for sharing a portion of its gaming revenues with the state and local governments.

In addition, the agreement ends legal disputes over land claims by setting a cap of about 25,000 acres on land that could be under the Oneida Nation’s sovereignty.

The agreement also requires the Oneidas to adhere to minimum pricing standards and charge a sales-tax equivalent for cigarette sales to non-Indian customers, a requirement that ends “unfair” competition, according to Cuomo’s office.

CANTON — The U.S. Department of State has awarded Daniel Koon, a professor at St. Lawrence University in Canton, a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Grant to conduct research in Eastern Europe.

Koon will use the funding to continue his research on the electrical resistance of semiconductors for six months in Prague, Czech Republic, St. Lawrence University said in a news release.

With the Fulbright, Koon will be able to take a full-year sabbatical while continuing his research, according to St. Lawrence.

The government also awarded Koon a Fulbright scholarship in 1981, which he used for travel and research in what was then West Berlin, Germany, the school added.

Koon has spent the past two decades measuring and mapping the resistance of silicon wafers, which is considered an” important quality-control issue” for the semiconductor industry, St. Lawrence said.

The measurements allow him to characterize how a specific shape and the placement of electrodes on a microchip affect how much of the specimen that the measurement samples, how much error will result from misaligning the electrodes, and how much heating can skew results, according to St. Lawrence.

The results could have “very important implications” in the microelectronics industry, where smaller and smaller devices “drive the need for ever more compact-resistance probes,” Koon said in the news release.

“By making precise calculations for a variety of cross and cloverleaf-shaped specimen geometries, based on some theory developed by myself and colleagues at the Technical University of Denmark, and by confirming these in the laboratory with my colleagues at the Institute for Chemical Technology in Prague, I hope to provide a wide overview of which geometrical shapes and electrode placements provide the most accurate, most tightly focused diagnostic, as well as reducing unwanted effects,” Koon said.

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs sponsors the Fulbright program, St. Lawrence said.

It provides funding for students, scholars, teachers, and professionals to undertake graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools, the school added.

Universities, colleges eye ways to lower energy usage

SYRACUSE — Whether it’s to help keep costs down or recruit new students, embracing energy efficiency is a hot topic on college campuses these days.

SYRACUSE — Whether it’s to help keep costs down or recruit new students, embracing energy efficiency is a hot topic on college campuses these days.

Colleges and universities spend an average of $1.95 per square foot on electricity and 15 cents on natural gas, according to a recent study, entitled “The Changing Energy Landscape and its Effect on College Campuses in the Northeast, from CHA Consulting, a unit of CHA (Clough Harbour & Associates). CHA is headquartered in Albany and operates an office in Syracuse.

Those energy costs have increased about 77 percent in the past decade, and the average university or college spends about $105,000 annually on energy costs for a 50,000-square-foot building. Multiply that by 15 buildings across a campus, and energy costs are a big concern, says Michael Tsakaloyannis, director of energy and infrastructure at CHA.

“There has been a lot more interest in energy conservation and some of it is for financial reasons,” Tsakaloyannis says. The other component is the changing attitude of students, who are concerned with things like how large a campus’s carbon footprint is or if the university has a climate action plan.

“We’ve seen that both of these factors are motivating colleges to upgrade,” he says. Firms such as CHA can assist universities with that process, he contends, starting with conducting studies to help campuses learn their energy-usage statistics and come up with a plan to implement effective conservation measures.

Those measures can include an array of projects, Tsakaloyannis says, ranging from lighting upgrades to large projects such as the combined heat and power plant that Cornell University installed following the 2009 release of its climate action plan. Cornell has a goal of reducing its carbon emissions to zero and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, and the 15 megawatt, combined heat and power plant has already reduced greenhouse emissions on campus by 32 percent, according to the CHA study.

“It’s a more efficient way of producing energy,” Tsakaloyannis says of the plant, which produces electricity and captures the “waste” heat generated during that process to utilize for campus heating requirements.

The project is so successful that other schools tour Cornell to learn more about it and see if a similar project would work on their campuses, he says.

Cornell has also taken things a step further and made energy conservation a lifestyle on campus through an online dashboard where anyone can monitor the energy usage in Cornell buildings and by hosting fun contests that promote a “greener” life on campus.

“When you educate and have that information out there, you will drive energy conservation,” Tsakaloyannis says. Typically, such efforts can yield between 2 percent and 5 percent additional reduction in consumption as people adopt conservation-friendly habits.

Whatever approaches a university decides to take, government and utility incentives are available to make projects more feasible, he adds. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers incentives to cover up to 50 percent of the cost for energy audits right on through to specific projects. In addition, many power companies offer an array of incentives to help make projects more affordable, Tsakaloyannis notes. “We’re all kind of in this situation of tough times and difficult budgets, so you have to use your resources wisely,” he says.

Headquartered in Albany, CHA (www.chacompanies.com) is an engineering and design firm. The company has offices across the state including Buffalo, Newburgh, New York City, Rochester, and Syracuse. CHA also has offices in Georgia, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Vermont, North Carolina, Illinois, Indiana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Missouri, Wisconsin, and South Carolina, along with a number of international locations.

Some employers start preparing for upcoming health-plan excise tax

More than one-third of the nation’s employers surveyed (36 percent) are already focusing on possible changes to health-care benefits as they anticipate the upcoming excise tax, which takes effect in 2018. That’s according to a survey entitled “Health Care Reform: The Road to Implementation” that Mercer conducted in May 2013. Mercer is a New York

That’s according to a survey entitled “Health Care Reform: The Road to Implementation” that Mercer conducted in May 2013. Mercer is a New York City–based human resource and financial-services consulting firm.

Often referred to as the Cadillac tax, the excise tax is a 40 percent levy on the cost of medical coverage above thresholds that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) sets.

Under the terms of the ACA, so-called “Cadillac” health-insurance plans worth more than $10,200 for individuals or $27,500 for families face a 40 percent excise tax starting in 2018.

“It’s 40 percent on the amounts over [those totals], so it would be the excess benefit over that dollar cap,” says Thomas Flynn, principal with Mercer based in its Pittsford office.

The numbers are different for retirees or those in high-risk professions, including $11,850 for single coverage and $30,950 for family coverage, he adds.

The tax will be permanent and apply to both fully insured and self-funded employer plans, according to the website of Minnetonka, Minn.–based UnitedHealthcare, which operates an Upstate office in DeWitt.

The upcoming excise tax on high-cost health plans is proposed to both slow the rate of growth of health costs and finance the expansion of health coverage.

“If they’re [subscribers are] willing to keep the plan, then we’re [the federal government] going to put a penalty that’s really going to make them think not just twice but maybe five times about not changing it,” Flynn says.

The seeks to shift consumers’ belief that if they have to pay more expenses themselves, through higher deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, they’ll avoid unnecessary or overly costly procedures.

The federal government is saying if the nation wants to start controlling health-care costs, then consumers “have to stop being insulated from costs,” Flynn says

“These high-cost plans are normally the ones where that exists, either totally or with the majority of services rendered,” Flynn says.

Application of the health-care excise tax is based on cost of the premiums, or the premium equivalents under a self-funded plan, he notes.

It’s applied based on what the employee pays, flexible-spending account contributions, and health-reimbursement account and health-savings account dollars that are part of the plan, he says.

“This tax looks at the full complete cost of the plan,” Flynn adds.

The Mercer survey also included statistics about what steps employers are taking to avoid the tax in 2018.

More than half have introduced a consumer-driven health plan (CDHP) or taken steps to increase enrollment in an existing CDHP; 48 percent plan to add or expand health-management programs; and 28 percent indicated they would drop a higher-cost health plan, the survey found.

When employers look at all the costs of health-care reform, they’re starting to ask consultants such as Flynn about what other costs are “out there.”

“The excise tax is certainly one of those ones that people want to get out in front of just for those reasons,” Flynn says.
