DeWITT — Following eight months of renovation work at the DeWitt Town Center, the 184,000-square-foot shopping center at 3179 Erie Blvd. East is adding six new tenants.
That’s according to the Syracuse–based Icon Companies, a commercial real-estate firm, which organized an afternoon press event June 24 to mark the end of the renovation work.
The event included a ribbon cutting for the newly renovated DeWitt Town Center and the Time Warner Cable office, the Icon Companies said.
Besides Time Warner Cable, the other new tenants, which will open for business “soon,” include Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park; Matthews Salon Spa; Pella, a window and door retailer; and Jreck Subs, a sandwich restaurant chain.
Pella is moving its window and door showroom from its current location at 2743 Erie Blvd. East in Syracuse, according to Graziano Zazzara, Jr., president and principal broker at the Icon Companies.
Another new tenant, Harbor Freight Tools, has opened for business.
Existing tenants include Five Guys Burgers and Fries; Taco Bell; and Empire Buffett; along with Oreck, which sells vacuum cleaners and other cleaning supplies; and the DeWitt location of Irving, Texas–based OrthoSynetics, a dental and orthodontic practice-management firm.
The tenants, including Time Warner Cable Business Class, collectively employ a total of about 600 people, according to the media invitation for the event.
For example, the Time Warner project will create 95 new jobs over the next four years and moves 171 existing Time Warner Cable Business Class jobs into the new facility, the company said last November.
That space had long been vacant.
It’s taken four-and-a-half years of waiting for the “right tenant mix,” Graziano Zazzara, Sr., a principal in DeWitt Town Center, Inc., the entity that owns the DeWitt Town Center, said in speaking with reporters at the press event.
“Thanks to New York state. They really gave Time Warner a great incentive to build, and fortunately it was here in DeWitt and they chose our center, which really was the catalyst to make this thing happen,” Zazzara said.
New entrance
The DeWitt Town Center also includes a new entrance “Now you can see it coming off the road, where before, it was really … a screwed-up entranceway,” he said.
The parking lot also has new pavement and new lights, he added.
“If you get a national tenant [Time Warner Cable]… something strong, something clean, it draws better tenants … and we had to wait for that,” Zazzara, Sr. added.
The Zazzaras opened Paradise Market, a flea market, when they acquired the property in January 2010.
The flea market allowed them to “to turn the lights [on],” but it wasn’t their long-term goal for the facility. Paradise Market closed in 2011 following a year-and-a-half of operation, Zazzara, Sr. said.
“The problem with it … no national tenant would go into a plaza that had a flea market,” he says.

SKANEATELES — Nearly 15 years ago, Curt and Toni Feldmann drove by an old motel with a “For Sale” sign. Even though neither had any hospitality experience — Toni was a controller/accountant who lost her job in a corporate buyout while her husband Curt sold hardware — the couple took the plunge and bought the former Anchor Motel.
Almost 15 years later, the Feldmanns are now headed toward their November anniversary of purchasing the motel, which they remodeled extensively and renamed Skaneateles Suites & Boutique Hotel (www.skaneatelessuites.com). Their properties include the Skaneateles Boutique Hotel, located on Fennell Street, and Skaneateles Suites, located 2 miles west of the village on Route 20. The suites are the former bungalows of the Anchor Motel, now remodeled and featuring amenities such as patios and Jacuzzis. The property also includes a house that sleeps eight and an apartment suite.
After purchasing the motel, the Feldmanns had a vision of how they wanted things to be, but learned quickly they needed to be flexible, Curt Feldmann, vice president of guest relations, says in an email. “Toni and I worked hard on writing our business plan, but the customers didn’t read it,” he says. “The customers kept wanting what they wanted and not what we planned. So, we changed what we had told the bank and gave the customers what they wanted.”
They hired architect Robert Eggleston to help remodel the old Anchor Motel, which they described as “functionally obsolete.” The six bungalows previously held two units each. Each unit was a 150-square-foot room, but the Feldmanns remodeled to combine the units so now each bungalow offers a 300-square-foot suite. Other work included adding reverse gables as well as private patios for architectural and guest appeal, as well as amenities such as cable TV, Wi-Fi, premium bedding, kitchenettes, and Jacuzzi tubs in a number of the rooms.
“We intuitively knew something about the property was alluring,” Curt Feldmann says. “But it took our architect Bob Eggleston to notice that the height of the buildings was 6 inches too short, and that was what created the four-fifths scale size that Bob based everything on. That’s what gives the property great turn-your-head drive-by appeal.”
Over their years of ownership, the Feldmanns have hosted nearly 30,000 guests, almost half of whom are repeat customers, and continue to work to provide guests the type of experience that keeps them coming back.
“Sales look strong as visitors appear to return to confidence in the economy,” Toni Feldmann, innkeeper, says of 2014’s outlook. New furniture, windows, and carpeting in the Skaneateles Boutique Hotel this year should help keep occupancy levels high, she adds.
Right now, the Feldmanns are starting their busy season, Curt Feldmann says. “Skaneateles is extremely seasonal, and it’s easy to achieve a 95 percent occupancy [rate] in the summer. In the off season, we aren’t afraid to lower rates and offer combinations of book-online discounts.”
He also credits the Skaneateles Suites 2013 Travelers’ Choice award from TripAdvisor, which noted the facility’s “friendly and charming” atmosphere, for helping draw guests.
“We take this very seriously and pay attention to customer reviews every day,” Curt Feldmann notes.
“We are a rare find,” Toni Feldmann says. “The rush to chain hotels is so people know what to expect. The Skaneateles Suites offers the quality of the chains with that extra something special.”
The Feldmanns also credit their staff, which they call the “Dreams Team,” for their success. “The Suite Dreams Team — Guest Services Manager Terri Chapman, Reservations Manager Julie Hunt, and Property Manager Keia Endres — is the reason we get rave reviews,” Curt Feldmann says. Those year-round employees are joined by four seasonal employees in the summer months to help make sure every guest enjoys her stay.
Looking ahead, the Feldmanns say their plan for success will be to continue what they are doing by keeping the facilities fresh and special, giving guests a high-quality lodging experience.

SYRACUSE — Two members of a workgroup that Syracuse University (SU) Chancellor Kent Syverud assembled to review options for a “Carrier Dome Backup Plan” provided an overview of its findings on June 19.
Rick Burton, a sports-management professor and workgroup chair, and John Yinger, a trustee professor of public administration and economics, represented the group in speaking to the assembled media in the school’s Schine Student Center.
Syverud in late February appointed a five-person committee to conduct an analysis of the Carrier Dome and consider the many factors involved should the facility be rendered unusable for short- to long-term periods.
Besides Burton and Yinger, the group also included Jeff Rubin, associate professor of practice in the School of Information Studies; John Sardino, associate chief of the Department of Public Safety; and Bridget Yule, director of student centers and programming services in the Division of Student Affairs, according to SU.
He asked the group to develop a contingency plan that would allow the university to “quickly” respond should the need arise, quantify the costs involved, and better understand the potential negative economic impact to the region.
Not related to new stadium talk
When asked if the group’s work was related to the possibility of a new stadium to replace the Carrier Dome that made headlines earlier this year, Burton replied,
“No sense of that at all.”
“We received the request to put together this report for him and there was no indication that it was tied to anything other than [Syverud] fact finding as the new chancellor,” Burton added.
Syverud’s request, in Burton’s mind, was “really very simple and very straightforward.”
“It was a fact-finding mission on his behalf as the new chancellor to look at the ways in which … the Carrier Dome roof could fail, what our backup plan would be were the Dome to be made inoperable,” Burton said in his remarks to the media.
Economic impact
If SU rendered the Dome unavailable for a single men’s basketball game against a top opponent, and the game was played outside of Central New York, the loss of income would total as much as $2.6 million and the region would lose as much as $8.3 million in economic activity, according to the group’s findings.
The group had “good information” on the sales in the Dome at a game, where people come from, and the numbers attending a given game, Yinger said.
“If you take a game of 30,000 or 35,000 people and you take it out of the Syracuse economy and you put it somewhere else, well then, there’s not a flow into the Syracuse economy and some of the people who would spend their money in Syracuse, otherwise, now spend it somewhere else. We try to account for those things,” he added.
The group determined that SU will “likely” need to replace the current roof on the Carrier Dome in the next seven to 10 years at a cost that would approach $25 million.
That cost figure would include likely improvements to the lighting and audio system.
The current roof covers about six-and-a-half acres, Burton said, which does require maintenance in the event of a major snow storm.
“You’ve got to undertake or consider a controlled deflation of the roof just because of the weight that’s sitting on the roof of the Dome,” he added.
Besides any problems with the roof, the university could render the Carrier Dome inoperable in a power failure, Burton said.
The group also considered how a similar scenario would impact a full home football schedule, with games scheduled outside the Central New York region.
Under such a circumstance, the region would lose economic activity totaling in a range between $23 million and $44 million, with the loss of income ranging from $7 million to $14 million, according to the memo.
The group noted that Central New York doesn’t have another facility that could accommodate the 30,000-plus attendance for an SU football game. The closest location would be Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, near Buffalo, Burton said.
“On all of the contingencies, it’s a function of whether or not they’re available,” he added.
When considering the SU men’s basketball program, the group noted the program has more than 24,000 season-ticket holders.
“If the Dome was unavailable, there’s really no place in New York state or even really in the East that you could move the game to and accommodate that entire 24,000 season-ticket holder base,” Burton said.
No existing NBA arena has the capacity to seat that many spectators, he added.
Details on the group’s work first surfaced as part of a memo that Syverud distributed to the university community in May 30.
The school also posted the memo to Syverud’s blog, which is part of the SU website.
“We took this challenge very seriously, but our purpose was solely to collect facts that we thought would be relevant to the chancellor and his responsibilities for this university,” Burton said.

CICERO — On May 7, Richard Hubeny, president of Syracuse Signage, Inc., inked a deal with Chris Arnone, the president of Image Press, to sell the assets of Syracuse Signage.
The sale of the operating company’s assets was an all-cash deal. It did not include Hubeny’s 7,200-square-foot building located at 220 Commerce Blvd. in the town of Salina, which is valued at $150,000, according to county tax records. Image Press committed to a one-month rental of Hubeny’s building to allow for the transfer of the assets to Image Press’s 35,000-square-foot facility in Cicero. One of the five employees who worked at Syracuse Signage is now employed at Image Press. Hubeny was the sole stockholder of his company.
Hubeny came to Syracuse in 1970 to work for Sweet Outdoor Advertising. In 1980, he bought the Central New York Division of Sweet, which he then sold in 1986 to Penn Advertising. Penn retained Hubeny as the area general manager. In 1988, Hubeny acquired the sign division from Penn and incorporated Syracuse Signage. The company focused on commercial signage with 60 percent of the business originating with national sign companies requiring installation work and the other 40 percent with local companies. Hubeny says he has not determined his future plans.
In addition to owning Sweet and Syracuse Signage, he also owned two Cookie Jar locations and was a partner in other local businesses. Hubeny is a past president of Sales and Marketing Executives of Central New York, the founder of the original Tip Club of Central New York, a past-president of Liverpool Dollars for Scholars, and the former chair of the North Area YMCA building-fund drive.
Image Press was founded in Syracuse more than 20 years ago as a company specializing in pre-press file preparation, image enhancement, and color correction. In 1998, the company transitioned to creating large-format digital printing. Today, Image Press’s graphics appear as signs, trade-show exhibits, retail displays, posters, and vehicle wraps.
Despite several attempts, The Business Journal News Network was not able to obtain an interview with Arnone.

Rod Christian loves golf, and he especially loves playing golf at courses around New York state.
He also wants others to enjoy the same experience and will provide the help in organizing the trip.
Christian operates the New York Golf Trail, a business based at his home in Rochester, he says.
“Considering the quality of New York golf, why not package and market and make it really easy for people to take a golf trip in New York state,” says Christian.
He founded the business in 2009 and is its lone employee, he says.
Christian spoke with the Business Journal News Network on June 24.
A native of Utica, Christian earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from St. John Fisher College, near Rochester, in 1984. Along the way, he would organize annual golf outings for himself and his college friends to enjoy.
“It was hard work, a lot of guess work in terms of choosing the courses and finding the right hotel,” as Christian recalls it.
Besides his bachelor’s degree, Christian later earned a master’s degree in public administration from the State University of New York at Brockport in 1991.
Beyond his work with the New York Golf Trail, Christian also works for the Arc of Monroe County as director of donor relations. The organization provides programs and services for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families, according to its website — similar to the Arc of Onondaga and Arc, Oneida Lewis Chapter in our area.
Christian has worked in fundraising for 25 years, including the last five years at the Arc, he says.
But he’s also a golf enthusiast who remembers his golfing trips with his college friends.
“I saw this opportunity [New York Golf Trail], pursued it on the side, [and it’s] grown pretty steadily over the past five years,” says Christian.
Family and friends provided encouragement as Christian launched the venture in early 2009. His brother, Scott Christian, is a golf-course superintendent at Valley View Golf Course in Utica, and his nephew, Tim Christian, is the golf-course superintendent at Teugega Country Club in Rome, according to Rod Christian.
Even though the local golf season primarily runs from April through October, the New York Golf Trail stays “fairly busy” year round booking trips during the winter months, Christian says.
He has scaled back his hours in his fundraising work during the golf season, he says.
“I never expected to be running a travel agency,” he says. “Sometimes life takes unexpected turns.”
Process and partnerships
Golf enthusiasts can visit the website, www.nygolftrail.com, to begin the planning process, Christian says.
“It’s really the easiest place to get a sense for the scope of what we offer,” he says.
Website visitors can choose which New York region is their destination. The regions include Central New York, Finger Lakes, Cooperstown, Saratoga, Lake Placid, and Hudson Valley. He plans to add a Buffalo / Niagara region and a Southern Finger Lakes region in 2015, he says.
Website users will then complete a short email quote, which is called a “quick quote,” says Christian.
He replies within 24 hours with information including their hotel, their golf courses, the costs involved, and anything else included in the package.
“It’s one-stop shopping, whereas before … you’d have to do all the online research yourself to find the best courses, nearby accommodations,” says Christian.
Rochester–based Antithesis Advertising designed the New York Golf Trail website, he says.
The Golf Trail started with seven courses and about three regions during its first year of operation in 2009.
It now partners with 23 courses and 17 hotels in six regions covering “most of the state, ” says Christian.
“The courses understood the concept, liked it, and signed on,” he says, noting he then researched nearby hotels, which also embraced the concept.
In Central New York, the New York Golf Trail’s participating golf courses include Timber Banks Golf Course in Lysander, Beaver Meadows Golf Club in Schroeppel, Foxfire at Village Green in Van Buren, Pompey Golf Club in Pompey, Seven Oaks Golf Course at Colgate University in Hamilton, and Leatherstocking Golf Course in Cooperstown, according to the Golf Trail website.
The New York Golf Trail is also part of “I Love New York,” the state’s tourism-promotion brand, Christian says.
Christian handles all the partnership presentations himself or through email, he says. His relatives in the golf business in New York have helped him screen and identify top courses.
“Now, it’s actually easier to line them up now that we’ve got a record of success,” he says.
The golf courses and hotels provide special rates for the New York Golf Trail, and Christian generates a profit on the markup. And several of the golf courses provide complimentary rounds of golf based on the number of rounds they get from visitors using the Golf Trail, says Christian.
“That way they don’t have to write a check to us for participating,” he adds.
He believes New York golf, in general, has been “overlooked” in terms of its quality, he says.
“There’s no reason it can’t become the top golf destination in the Northeast,” he says.

Identity Theft is a Common Crime in New York State

Identity theft is particularly prevalent in New York, which has one of the highest per-capita rates of identity theft in the country. It affects about 10 million Americans each year. Anyone can be a victim, including young children. Identity theft occurs when personal information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, telephone numbers, credit card and bank-account numbers, and passwords are accessed and used by thieves. The criminals can then open new accounts, apply for loans, make large purchases or access bank-account balances.
Phishing is a common way in which thieves obtain personal information. Through email, people are asked to validate personal information and users are directed to what appears to be a legitimate organization’s website but it is not.
The New York Assembly recently passed a measure that, if signed into law by the governor, will allow a credit-reporting agency to place a freeze for a minor under the age of 16 at the request of the minor’s parent or guardian. I supported this in the Assembly and it passed unanimously. Current law implies a parent is able to do so, but this bill expressly provides parents and guardians with this authority. In the case of identity theft with children, the theft can go undetected for years and is only discovered when the child goes to apply for a credit card or a student loan. It’s important we have laws in place that work to protect children. Unfortunately, in these cases, the thief is often someone the family knows.
The New York State Division of Consumer Protection publishes a booklet that helps residents protect themselves from ID theft which is available at http://www.dos.ny.gov/consumerprotection/identity_theft/index.htm. If you think you are a victim of identity theft, you may call the three major credit bureaus at Equifax at 1(800) 525-6285; Experian at 1(888)397-3742; and TransUnion at 1(800) 680-7289 to prevent someone from opening new credit accounts in your name.

New York state has been approved for up to $8 billion to fund the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program. This program seeks to provide incentives for Medicaid providers to create and sustain an integrated, high performing health-care delivery system. The goal is to effectively and efficiently meet the needs of Medicaid beneficiaries and low-income uninsured individuals in their communities by improving health care and reducing costs.
The DSRIP program is focused on the following goals: (1) safety net system transformation at both the system and state level; (2) accountability for reducing avoidable hospital use and improvements in other health and public-health measures at both the system and state level; and (3) efforts to ensure sustainability of delivery system transformation through leveraging, managed-care payment reform, delivery system transformation through leveraging managed-care payment reform.
The lawyers at Bond Schoeneck & King, PLLC have established a DSRIP legal-support workgroup to help clients respond and participate in this program. Integrated legal support is necessary to guide health-care providers and their partners through the complexity of this five-year endeavor and into the future, working with a transformed health-care delivery structure.
The platform for participation funding is based on regional coalitions of safety net providers called “Performing Provider Systems” (PPS). The state will not fund a single provider, so everyone must work together.
The state will consider exceptions to the safety net definition on a case-by-case basis if it is deemed in the best interest of Medicaid members. Non-qualifying providers may participate in PPS, but no more than 5 percent of a project’s total valuation may be paid to non-qualifying providers as a group.
A PPS is intended to be a distinct legal entity, and although the state has not prescribed the legal structure, it is expecting a model that supports shared governance among all participants. The governance plan must include a process by which the PPS will progressively advance into becoming an integrated delivery system. The development of this legal and governance structure must be done in a manner that positions each PPS to achieve its objectives and carry out its purpose.
Coalitions must designate a health-care provider to serve as the leader who will be held responsible under the DSRIP for ensuring that the coalition meets all PPS requirements, including reporting to the state and CMS. The lead provider will submit the DSRIP project application and lead the PPS, most likely by serving as chair of the governing body of the PPS.
DSRIP project plans must be approved by the state and may be subject to additional review by CMS. Payments are made upon completion of project milestones and measures. There must be a clear business relationship between the PPS and its component providers, including a joint budget and funding-distribution plan that specifies, in advance, the methodology for distributing funding to participating providers.
The funding distribution plan must comply with all Medicaid program requirements and all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to: the anti-kickback statute; the physician self-referral prohibition (Stark Law); the gainsharing and the beneficiary inducement civil monetary penalty (CMP Law); and federal and state antitrust laws.
Each PPS must also identify a proposed population for DSRIP of at least 5,000 individuals to be serviced. Data-sharing agreements must be put into place to share and manage data on systemwide performance. A PPS must include a comprehensive workforce strategy in the plan that identifies all workforce implications, including employment levels; wages and benefits; distribution of skills; and how workers will be deployed to meet patient needs in the new delivery system.
Each PPS is responsible for project activity that addresses:
- The creation of appropriate infrastructure and care processes based on community need, in order to promote efficiency of operations, support prevention and early intervention;
- The integration of settings through the cooperation of inpatient and outpatient, institutional and community based providers, in coordinating and providing care for patients across the spectrum of settings in order to promote health and better outcomes, particularly for populations at risk, while managing total cost of care; and
- Population health management.
Once the state receives a DSRIP project plan and application, it will use a complex valuation formula to calculate the maximum amount a PPS could be paid. A PPS may receive less than the maximum amount if it does not meet metrics and/or if DSRIP funding is reduced because the state does not meet its statewide goals.
Community advisory committees will be created to oversee the implementation of the DSRIP project and will work closely with its PPS.
There is a great deal of work to be done now and over the next several months
