Ganim highlights Bridgeport economy in context of statewide picture

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

W

hile Mayor Joe Ganim’s April 4 speech before the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce was billed as “The Mayor’s Annual Address to the Business Community,” it was a little difficult not to hear themes from Ganim’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor. And even Ganim acknowledged the crossover, drawing a laugh from his audience while noting that his father had commented about hearing numerous State of the City speeches and expressing eagerness to start hearing a State of the State presentation.

“Knowing the fiscal challenges that faced our state and many municipalities over the past year, I think it is important to talk about putting the state of our city into context,” Ganim said, pointing to a $17 million cut in aid to Bridgeport from the last state budget. Yet despite a significant loss of state funding, Ganim credited the city with standing out when other Connecticut municipalities struggled.

“Ratings agencies downgraded the state and several municipalities in the face of this fiscal instability,” he continued. “And if not for a $550 million bailout, the City of Hartford » » BRIDGEPORT

With Abilis thriving, President/CEO Dennis Perry is retiring

A

t a time when most nonprofits in Connecticut are hurting for funds, cutting staff and services, and generally wondering how they will survive, Abilis is thriving.

Indeed, the Greenwichbased 501(c)(3) that provides services and support for individuals with special needs and their families has, during its three years under President and CEO Dennis Perry: • Increased its annual revenue 125 percent to $17.5 million.

• Gone some way toward weaning itself from being entirely

state-funded.

• Launched a therapy center at 1150 Summer St. in Stamford.

• Expanded its young adults Life Skills program beyond Greenwich to Stamford, Westport and Wilton.

• Added four residential homes for teen and adult clients, for a total of 34.

• Grown employment from 20 to nearly 100.

What better time, then, for Perry to retire?

“When I joined the board in 2013, I helped to develop our strategic plan,” which resulted in many of those changes, Perry said at Abilis’ Greenwich » » ABILIS

Sweeten brings client/contractor matchmaking service to area

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

M

atchmaking can of course be a tricky matter, but when it results in some $900 million worth of business … well, then business is obviously good.

“It is good — and even better, it’s been fun,” laughed Jean Brownhill, founder and CEO of Sweeten, a company that matches homeowners with general contractors in an attempt to streamline the process into what is promised to be a positive experience for everyone involved. Based in Brooklyn, Sweeten expanded into Fairfield and Westchester counties last year.

Sweeten’s services are offered to clients for free; its network of contractors pay what Brownhill called “a small fee” after they’re hired through the service. To date, the seven-year-old company has provided its services for nearly $900 million in construction projects, she said, adding that the firm’s projects average about $100,000.

Contractors are usually recruited by Sweeten, based upon their reputations and word-of-mouth, Brownhill said. One-on-one interviews are then conducted, and previous clients are contacted for feedback.

Once a contractor is on board, Sweeten continues to monitor each project with periodic checkins, as well as by having access to all communications between client and contractor. “Transparency can be a nonstarter for some contractors,” Brownhill noted, “but it’s something we feel strongly about.”

The firm takes pains to screen potential contractors not just for their technical know-how but also for “more nuanced aspects, like customer service,” she said. “We want everything to go as smoothly as possible once the connection is made, for both parties.”

Typically, a contractor is presented with an anonymous view of a potential project and the client is presented with an anonymous profile of the contractor, to make the playing field as level as possible, Brownhill said.

The actual matchmaking process usually takes about 48 hours, after which the customer is presented with three contractor recommendations, each of whom is experienced in whatever a partic-

ular project calls for. Brownhill said that while Sweeten’s forays into Fairfield and Westchester were initially restricted to residential renovations, it’s now handling commercial renovations as well.

A Cooper Union-trained architect, the New London native said the idea for Sweeten was hatched when she bought a house in Brooklyn that had been built in the 1890s and needed a full renovation.

“I ended up hiring the wrong contractor, which made for a terrible experience,” she recalled.

“I’d spent 10 years as an architect, I can read blueprints, I did

my research — everything you’re supposed to do, and I still ended up hiring somebody who was just not up for the job.”

That led her to understand what a disadvantage those not trained in the profession could experience, she said. “It was one of those classic entrepreneur moments — ‘I know how to fix this!’” she laughed. “But there was still a lot of trial and error involved.”

Today Sweeten has 25 full-time employees and about 30 rotating consultants, she said; many work in its office on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, but the company tries

to have at least one placed within its ever-expanding coverage area.

At the moment that area stretches roughly from Fairfield County to New Jersey’s Bergen County and the Philadelphia area. Brownhill plans to add another eight counties by 2020.

Thanks to national coverage — Brownhill was profiled by Entrepreneur magazine earlier this year, and in March was featured on NBC’s “The Today Show” — “We’re starting to get queries from all over — ‘Are you in Denver yet? New Orleans?’

“Not yet,” she laughed, “but we’re trying.”

Tesoro optimistic about Trumbull’s economy

eclaring that she intends to preserve the character and quality of life of the town, Trumbull First Selectman Vicki Tesoro painted a mostly rosy picture in her first official address to its business community on March 29.

“I will do all that I can do to make this great (town) even better,” Tesoro told the crowd of about 200 at the Tashua Knolls Restaurant.

Although Trumbull is nearly built out, “a lot of opportunities remain,” she said.

Noting Henkel’s $20 million investment to build a second research and development facility on Trefoil Drive, Tesoro said she regularly speaks with other town-based corporate titans like Unilever — which has moved hundreds of workers to Shelton over the past few years — and the Westfield Trumbull mall, whose parent company was acquired last December

by French commercial real estate giant Unibail-Rodamco for $15.7 billion.

The impact of that deal upon the Trumbull mall remains uncertain, although rumors persist that it’s considering developing up to 10 acres of unused land on its 5065 Main St. property.

Westfield executives have not responded to requests for comment.

Tesoro also touted the

2-year-old Park Avenue Medical Center at 5520 Park Ave. and “significant investments” in renovations by real estate broker William Raveis, and provided a litany of new businesses scheduled to open this year. Among those are Bianco Rosso, a Wilton-based wine bar and restaurant opening at the former O Bar & Grill site at 942 White Plains Road; Milwaukee-based burger chain Fatty Patty at the former Frances Bakery at 2 Daniels Farm Road; educational firms Code Ninjas in Madison Village and Educational Playcare at 111 Merritt Blvd.; and Dolce Vita Medical Spa, which Tesoro said is moving from Shelton to a Monroe Turnpike address.

She also noted that “new progress” is being made at Trumbull Center on White Plains Road, which is being redeveloped as a 21,000-square-foot retail center that will include a CVS and Starbucks.

Trumbull’s grand list — the aggregate valuation of taxable property within the town — is expected to slightly decline this year, she noted, saying that the town “needs to redouble our efforts” to retain existing residents and attract new ones. The grand list also declined last year, which played a role in her instituting a 1.95 percent tax increase in the budget that was approved by Trumbull’s Board of Finance in March.

Nevertheless, Tesoro said it

was the “lowest tax increase in years.”

The board of finance’s version of Tesoro’s budget, which added $345,433 to her $170 million proposal, still needs to be approved by the town council, which is expected to vote on it later this month.

The first selectman said she was particularly proud of keeping taxes and spending in check “while investing in our future” — including ongoing efforts to address shortfalls in police and town pension funds — in the face of what she called Gov. Dannel Malloy’s “ill-advised proposal to reduce town aid.

I hope the legislature will restore those cuts.”

Trumbull had scheduled to receive $4.3 million in state aid for fiscal year 2019; Malloy’s proposal revised that figure to $3.5 million.

Looking ahead, Tesoro said the town was undertaking a 10-year plan to renovate its elementary and middle schools, support the arts and continue to fight the scourge of opioid addiction.

As for the long-discussed new senior center — a pet project of Tesoro’s predecessor Tim Herbst, now running for governor — Tesoro said the state had not approved a traffic signal that she said was key to safety at the proposed 85 and 93 Church Hill Road site. The building committee has also yet to provide an estimate on future operating costs of such a facility — which Herbst maintained while in office could be worth $600,000 in annual tax revenue — which Tesoro said was critical before moving ahead.

The business event was sponsored by Sikorsky Credit Union, Crown Castle and Aquarion Water Co. In his introductory remarks, the latter’s Vice President of Corporate Communications Bruce Silverstone said that “The tone of the town has changed (for the better) since Vicki has taken office” — a perceived swipe at the famously bellicose Herbst.

Legalizing recreational marijuana still a tough call for Connecticut

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

s has been the case for years, the debate over legalizing recreational marijuana essentially boils down to two sides: “It’s an idea whose time has come” vs. “Why do you think they call it ‘dope’?”

State legislators have been wrestling with the idea of making the commercial sale of weed legal since at least 2011, when Gov. Dannel Malloy signed into law a measure reducing the penalty for possession of a half ounce of marijuana from a fine of up to $1,000 and a year in jail to a $150 fine for a first offense and a $200 to 250 fine for subsequent offenses.

“Let me make it clear — we are not legalizing the use of marijuana,” Malloy said at the time. Instead, he said, “we are recognizing that the punishment should fit the crime.”

The following year Malloy signed legislation allowing people with certain debilitating diseases to legally use marijuana for medical reasons, which again opened the floor for debate as to whether all pot could soon be legalized.

Legislation to do just that has been introduced in several sessions since, including last year and this year.

Today, nine states along with the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana: Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and — most importantly to Connecticut — Massachusetts.

The Bay State will allow retail sales of pot to begin on July 1. Nevertheless, granting licenses to both existing medical marijuana dispensaries looking to broaden their business — of which there are 12 — and new outlets is a time-consuming process, and cultivation is expected to lag behind

demand by several months; one report said the state could experience shortages for up to two years.

Still, the fact that Connecticut — which as of now has nine medical marijuana dispensaries, including Compassionate Care Center of Connecticut in Bethel — is already trailing its neighbor to the east is reason enough to get on board, say proponents.

“Obviously marijuana is already on our streets and being sold on the black market,” said state Rep. Steve Stafstrom, a Democrat representing Bridgeport, who said he’s long been a proponent of legalizing marijuana.

“And with what’s happening in Massachusetts, we’re going to see people pouring over the border. It creates a structure where the Massachusetts government is basically dictating the regulatory environment and Connecticut is going to be forced to react to that.”

Stafstrom noted that Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine and New Jersey are all in various stages of discussion about legalization as well. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has, like Malloy, voiced his opposition in the past, but both have more recently indicated they’d be willing to take another look at the issue.

“It’s very clear to me that Connecticut will soon be surrounded by states that allow the recreational sale of marijuana,” Stafstrom said. “One of the knocks on Connecticut is that we’ve been far too slow to adapt to changing social norms.”

State Sen. Carlo Leone, a Democrat who represents Stamford and Darien, also invoked the Massachusetts argument during a March 20 hearing on legalization before the General Law Committee, which he co-chairs. Although the committee rejected the measure by a bipartisan vote of 11-6, the issue is

still being weighed by the Judiciary, Appropriations, and Finance, Revenue and Bonding committees.

“If we don’t confront it here and now, we will be confronting it down the road,” Leone said after the General Law vote.

Republican state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton has long been an opponent of legalizing marijuana under any circumstances, including for medical use. Upon the passage of the 2011 decriminalization law, she said: “I feel that in my heart of hearts, this legislation is the wrong direction for our state. While I am deeply disappointed by the passage of this bill, I will continue to fight the legalization of this harmful drug in our state.”

Although Boucher was not available for comment for this article, her staff indicated that her opposition remains unchanged.

Another Republican — Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, running for governor this year — told the Business Journal, “I am not in favor. The jury is still out.”

Lauretti said that in the midst of the opioid crisis, “adding another substance to the equation doesn’t make sense.” He further cited the lack of a standard sobriety test for overuse of marijuana, and a rise in motor vehicle accidents in states that have legalized weed, as reasons not to support it here.

An April 2 article in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine reported that states allowing the dispensation of medical cannabis had 2.21 million fewer daily doses of opioids prescribed per year under Medicare Part D, compared with those states without medical marijuana laws.

On the other hand, the Denver Post reported last year that government data showed the number of drivers involved in fatal crashes in Colorado, which legalized marijuana in 2012, has risen

significantly each year since 2013, more than doubling in that time.

Nevertheless, a poll conducted last year by Sacred Heart University found that 71 percent of Connecticut residents supported legalization and taxing marijuana — up from a 2015 SHU poll that put approval at 63 percent.

Such data is cited by the Marijuana Policy Project — a D.C.-based group that seeks to change federal law to allow states to determine their own marijuana policies and to regulate marijuana like alcohol in all 50 states, D.C., and the country’s five territories — as proof that the time has come for Connecticut to get on board.

“The more states who legalize within the region, the less revenue that Connecticut will receive,” said Becky Dansky, legislative counsel, state policies department at the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP).

Besides, she added, “California legalized medical marijuana 23 years ago, and Colorado was the first to legalize it for recreational use in 2012. And oh look — society hasn’t collapsed.”

The MPP also makes

the argument that legalizing marijuana can have a significant positive financial impact. Its research indicates that, during the first year of legalization, Connecticut can anticipate $71 million in tax revenue from “early sales” from facilities operated by dispensaries and package liquor stores, if sales are taxed at a 25 percent retail excise rate and assuming that dispensaries would meet 30 percent of Connecticut residents’ demand during the first year.

Once producers and retailers can meet demand, the MPP said, “Connecticut can expect its excise and sales tax revenue from marijuana sales to Connecticut residents to total $166 million per year. The state can also anticipate significant additional tax revenue — quite possibly matching or exceeding in-state sales — from tourists and visitors until New York and other neighboring states have regulated sales.”

Dansky went on to dismiss complaints about marijuana being a gateway to harder drug use, that it can be addictive and other “salacious remarks.”

“There’s been tremendous progress made in

addressing those issues,” she said. “The science outweighs the hearsay.”

Even in the face of the projected economic windfall — something Connecticut could surely use — Lauretti said he remains steadfast in his opposition.

“I’m not so sure a financial gain at the cost of social pain is worth it at this point,” he said.

Stafstrom, who emphasized the economic potential is not one of his main concerns, said he doubted legalization would pass this year due to the short legislative session, scheduled to end on May 9.

“Being such a large piece of legislation makes it harder to get through,” he said. “But there certainly is public support for it, and it’s not a partisan issue — there are both Republicans and Democrats who have been outspoken advocates for legalization.”

Even so, the fact that 2018 is an election year still weighs against legalization this year, Stafstrom said — an opinion with which the MPP’s Dansky agreed.

However, Stafstrom added, “Connecticut is going to legalize — either during this session or the next.”

Abilis—

headquarters at 50 Glenville St. After being named CEO in April of 2015, Perry was able to guide Abilis in making the changes necessary to turn it from “a very Greenwich-insular organization” to one whose image is quickly growing around the county.

“The goals we set have been achieved,” Perry declared. “And I’m not saying that I did it myself — I had a lot of help. But I’m 67 years old, my wife and I have three kids who are grown and launched in the world… and life doesn’t last forever.”

Life also has a way of throwing one curveballs, as Perry and his wife Martha – now a Realtor at William Pitt Sotheby’s in New Canaan, where they reside — discovered when their middle son, Ross, was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis at the age of 10 weeks. At that time the family was in Hong Kong, where Perry served as chief operating officer and then CEO of HCL Ltd., which distributed and marketed consumer goods across the Asia-Pacific region.

Ganim ran through a list of ongoing and upcoming construction projects taking place in Bridgeport, highlighting the McLevy Square development, the redevelopment of the Majestic and Poli Palace theaters, and the thermal loop installation within the city’s downtown in which underground pipes would carry otherwise wasted heat to buildings which need it.

approach to children with special needs, Perry said he started looking for the right organization; his alphabetical approach led him to Abilis.

“I’d never heard of it, and it had a hard-to-pronounce name,” he said. (For the record, it’s pronounced “ABLE-ISS”; a newly redesigned logo stresses the long “A.”) “But I learned what they were doing, and what their approach was — and it definitely worked for us.”

Ross has been coming to Abilis ever since, and will continue to do so in the future; Perry said his pre-Abilis CEO role as “dad and defender” will carry on after his retirement.

The mayor also singled out two ongoing projects that are visible from I-95: The Cherry Street Lofts mixed-used property, which he praised as being a much-needed improvement from the “blighted eyesore” that long occupied that space, and the Steelepointe Harbor development.

“There is steel coming out of the ground,” he said about the latter endeavor.

“They don’t hear us talking about progress — they’re seeing steel come up.”

Ganim also emphasized the presence of out-of-state companies involved ongoing Bridgeport-based projects, including PSE&G’s $550 million 480 MW natural gas power plant, which Ganim defined as “the single largest private investment in Bridgeport’s

— he was also chief strategic officer and then global president at Bulova Corp. and a member of private equity firm Kohlberg and Co.’s senior advisory board — stood him in good stead as he effected the changes necessary to grow Abilis from a “barely breaking even” organization to one that is now financially healthy.

“These things take time,” he said. “You can’t just walk in with a mallet. You have to court people, help them understand what you want to do and why you’re doing it. I’ve watched other businesses — including nonprofits — try to redirect themselves and not succeed, and that’s often been because leadership didn’t under-

stand that a ship can’t turn on a dime. Getting people to buy in and understand — to own it — is key.”

The organization’s culture was also more ingrained than some; Perry’s predecessor, Lolli Ross, had spent 37 years with Abilis.

“The key was taking Abilis from being a fundbased organization — where everything we did was dependent on what the state wanted — to being a needsbased organization that’s based on the needs those we serve have,” Perry said.

Abilis today receives about 85 to 90 percent of its funding from the state, with the remainder coming from private donors and other contributions. Expanding its geographic footprint has helped get more state money, he said, which in turn has helped Abilis expand its services and hire more people.

That work provides service and support for more than 700 individuals with special needs, of all ages.

Programs range from early intervention and customized therapies to family education and advocacy.

Perry is especially proud of its Life Services programs,

which include recreational activities and the creation of soaps, candles and other consumer goods.

Job training is also available, with many of Abilis’ clients working either in-house cleaning or selling goods at its café and Gardens & Gifts greenhouse/gift shop, or out in the community doing yardwork, chopping wood and the like — all for a salary.

“It’s not about the amount of money they make,” Perry said, “but about interacting with the community.”

The nonprofit’s residential options, all licensed by the Department of Developmental Services, include intermediate care facilities, community living arrangements, continuous residential support and supported living arrangements.

Depending on each individual’s needs, service levels range from 24-hour staff supervision to more flexible care. Perry said that some 110 people are now living in its 34 facilities.

As for adding facilities in towns besides those where Abilis is already established, Perry said he would prefer, at least in the short term, to improve and add to services

provided in those residences rather than risk spreading its resources too thinly.

The organization has also expanded its fleet of vehicles, many of which are wheelchair-accessible, to 34, and recently made extensive renovations to its Greenwich home, including installing a new boiler, repaving its driveway, and upgrading its security and waste systems.

Gardens & Gifts has also been given a facelift and expanded from growing microgreens to growing and selling an assortment of houseplants and flowers, as well as goods made in-house and from outside vendors.

Perry said it made about $25,000 last year but he expects it to end 2018 with $75,000-100,000.

As for his successor — Perry’s last official day is June 30 — he said he’s content to let the board make its own decision; a board-led executive search has been underway since the announcement of Perry’s retirement was made last month.

“They don’t need another me — they need somebody younger,” he laughed.

“I’ve taught them everything I know. As a parent, I know that they’ll choose wisely.”

recent history.” He also cited Live Nation’s role in the transformation of the former Harbor Yard baseball stadium into a new amphitheater for concerts and events, as well as MGM Resorts International’s proposal to open a casino resort along the Bridgeport waterfront. “While a number of major businesses have announced they are leaving the state, here in Bridgeport others are moving in and are bringing with them millions of dollars in investment and jobs,” he said.

On the MGM Resorts project, Ganim urged his audience to lobby their state legislators to “to pass legislation authorizing an open, transparent bidding process for this job creator this session.”

However, Ganim did not use his speech as a forum for self-congratula-

tory accolades. He praised the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce membership for being active participants in the city’s economy. Still, he laced the praise with broad hints that this example could also fit on a statewide canvas.

“Because of you,” he told the audience, “there is over $2.5 billion worth of proposed economic development projects in the City of Bridgeport, many of which are new construction scheduled to start this year.

These job-creating projects are exactly the kind of transformational change that we need downtown, all over our city and, boldly, I might say, all over Connecticut to bring jobs and economic growth. If these projects were happening all over Connecticut, I believe that our entire state economy would be changed dramatically for the better.”

Instill passion in your workers

ASK ANDI

By Andi Gray

We have concerns regarding our sales and service people. We need to see more intensity and passion. How do we help these people get there?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: What is it that you’re trying to accomplish? Define your real objectives. Give people a mission worth caring about. Take time to prepare your message so that it’s well received. Practice being adaptable.

CREATE OPPORTUNITIES

When I hear business owners talking about needing more passion, it’s often leadership that they’re looking for — people who can both lead forward and boost momentum as they drive from behind.

Think about the sales/ service role. How much influence do the people in this role have? Can they

make decisions within in the company and on behalf of customers? Can they take actions, but they’re not doing that? Or is the problem that they don’t have the authority to act when they see the need? Probably a mix of both. What can be done to open up decision-making and create more opportunities for action?

Keep in mind that while it may feel riskier to allow people to make decisions, no one is mistake-proof, owner included, and almost all mistakes can be corrected. Start small and build on successes.

DEFINE OBJECTIVES

Give people a context for their actions. What do

you want as outcomes for the company and its people? Be clear about more than what’s expected. Lay out where that’s supposed to take the team. What’s over the next hill and the one beyond that?

It’s OK to expect a lot from people. But to succeed long term you also have to give people a vision of what it is they’re working to accomplish — both so they can recognize it when they see it, and so they understand the motivation behind what’s being asked.

MAKE THE MISSION WORTHY

To boost engagement, explain why the company’s vision matters in terms that people can grab onto and care about. Will results put more food on peoples’ tables or a better roof over employees’ heads? Can the company’s mission provide

better job security and more opportunity for advancement, both personal and professional?

Take time to listen to the people around you.

Understand their struggles.

Dig into their needs. Find ways to tie solving needs to the company mission. Look for clues about what people want that you can use to unlock individual and group passion and intensity.

LET YOUR MESSAGE RESONATE

While we are called upon throughout the day to quickly respond, it is worth taking the time to prepare for what’s to be said. Give your message a chance to come across well by allowing thoughts time to percolate.

Think about the tone and attitude of the words you use, communicating with respect and compassion for everyone around you. Offer

people a challenge, but do so in a way that inspires them to step forward by offering encouragement and showing enthusiasm.

BE ADAPTABLE

If you are frustrated, slow down until you are in command of your emotions and able to show people the upside of your message.

Give people opportunity to grab hold and show what they’re capable of producing, rather than blaming people for what has not yet come to pass. A positive attitude and belief in the potential of people will yield significantly greater results both short term and long, as compared to finding fault and accusing and impugning.

Practice adjusting your style of delivery to meet the needs of the situation. At times people need someone to rally them, to help them

energize and focus. At other times your people may need someone to listen and brainstorm with. Look for cues. Are people acting with enough urgency to meet the needs of the current conditions? Are they clear about what needs to happen? Help fill in the gaps.

BRIEFLY COLLIERS LANDS $9.1M IN FINANCING FOR STAMFORD SELF-STORAGE FACILITY

Colliers International has arranged $9.1 million in financing on behalf of Prospectus LLC for the construction of a self-storage facility in Stamford.

The building at 432 Fairfield Ave. will contain 906 climate-controlled units and lockers. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

CubeSmart, the self-storage management company that manages 23 million square feet of storage space over 356 properties across the U.S., will manage the facility.

The Colliers team of Thomas Welch, Kevin Phelan and John Poole secured the permanent construction loan from Brookline Bank in Brookline, Massachusetts.

“We’ve been quite active in the self-storage development space this cycle and have been impressed with the performance of our clients’ assets,” Welch said. “Brookline Bank recognized the quality of the Bostonbased sponsor, the project plans and the national facility operator in pursuing and providing great execution for this out-ofstate construction loan.”

URSTADT BIDDLE ACQUIRES YONKERS SHOPPING CENTER

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc., a Greenwich-based real estate investment trust, has acquired the 27,000-square-foot Tanglewood Shopping Center on Central Park Avenue in Yonkers. The financial details of the sale were not made public.

Built in 1954, Tanglewood consists of two retail buildings: a 22,300-square-foot property anchored by AutoZone and an adjacent 4,700-square-foot property whose tenants include CKO Kickboxing, a nail salon and a market. The property is 100 percent leased.

“We are thrilled to have acquired Tanglewood, the culmination of a relationship with the owners that began over 15 years ago,” said William Biddle, president of Urstadt Biddle Properties. “Tanglewood is one of the first shopping centers in lower New York, developed by Len Farber, a shopping center pioneer and a founding member of the ICSC trade organization. We are proud to be the recipient of its first and only trade.”

Urstadt Biddle Properties also owns

two other shopping plazas on Central Park Avenue — the Midway Shopping Center and the McLean Plaza Shopping Center — plus two additional plazas within two miles of Tanglewood.

BLUMENTHAL’S SON RUNNING FOR STATE SEAT

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s eldest son Matthew is running for the state seat of Rep. William Tong.

The latter, who represents parts of Stamford and New Canaan, is expected to run for state attorney general. Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen announced last fall that he would not seek a third term, leaving the race for that position wide open.

The elder Blumenthal held the position of Connecticut attorney general for 20 years prior to his election to the U.S. Senate in 2010. Among other positions in state government, Blumenthal served two years in the mid-1980s as state House representative for a similar geographical district as the current District 147 his son seeks to represent.

The 32-year-old Blumenthal is a Democrat, as is his father, Tong and Jepsen.

Another Democrat, Stamford Board of Representatives member Anzelmo Graziosi, filed papers to run for the seat in February.

Republican opposition has not been a factor in the state House district in recent elections.

The junior Blumenthal is employed as an attorney with Bridgeport firm Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder and is a Marine Corps Reserve veteran.

RIVALS SUBMIT PLANS FOR OFFSHORE WIND POWER

A recent request for proposals for a Connecticut offshore wind project has resulted in a pair of offers from rival energy developers.

Deepwater Wind is proposing to supply 200 MW in offshore wind from its 400 MW Revolution Wind project in the Atlantic Ocean. In a proposal called Revolution Wind, a wind farm generating up to 400 MW of renewable energy would be constructed on a federal lease site between Montauk and

Martha’s Vineyard. Deepwater is the developer of the first U.S. offshore wind farm, the 30 MW Block Island project, and it is also working on the 90-MW South Fork wind project off Long Island.

“We’re ready to put Connecticut on the map when it comes to offshore wind,” Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski said.

Avara Pharmaceutical Services has completed the acquisition of the GlaxoSmithKline consumer health care manufacturing facility in Aiken, South Carolina.

With the acquisition — financial terms of which were not disclosed — Avara now has eight sites; three in the mainland U.S., including its corporate headquarters in Norwalk, and one each in Puerto Rico, the U.K., Ireland, Italy and France.

“The completion of this acquisition is an important component of our strategic plan,” said Avara Chairman and CEO Tim Tyson. “It expands our services by adding additional solid dose capability in the United States, which is in very high demand.”

Avara delivers contract manufacturing and technical services to the pharmaceutical industry.

VINEYARD VINES PARTNERS WITH RED SOX

Vineyard Vines has partnered with the Boston Red Sox and its home stadium Fenway Park to offer exclusive apparel and accessories during this year’s base-

The Stamford-based company has been named “The Official Style” for both the team and its venue, and it will offer a line of Red Sox and Fenway-themed products for men, women and children.

Vineyard Vines will also sponsor Fenway Park’s Rooftop Sessions, a pregame concert series performed on the Strega Deck, and its signs featuring the company’s smiling pink whale mascot will be featured on Fenway’s third base line.

“Baseball is a treasured American pastime and the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park are an iconic institution in the sport. As a proud New England brand, we couldn’t be more excited to partner with one of New England’s favorite teams and further enhance our involvement in the Boston community,” said Ian Murray, Vineyard Vines CEO and co-founder.

DARIEN ROWAYTON BANK REBRANDS

Darien Rowayton Bank is rebranding under the name of its national online lending division Laurel Road.

Going forward both entities will be integrated under one national Laurel Road brand.

Unifying the business lines under one brand will help manifest what “the new Laurel Road has to offer — security and service of a community bank, with the spirit and tech expertise of a fintech,” the company said in a press release.

“Our strong, local foundation has enabled the bank to scale our online lending platform under the Laurel Road name, resulting in a national client base with exponential growth and great promise,” said Alyssa Schaefer, chief marketing officer and head of product experience. “As we continue to evolve our national offerings, our vision as a consolidated brand remains: to be the most trusted financial partner behind today’s determined professionals.”

Over the past few months, the company has launched a national, online mortgage platform, surpassed $3 billion in student loan originations, and completed its executive leader-

ship team appointments.

Laurel Road Bank is based out of Connecticut, but serves all 50 states.

Norwalk physician creates vegan eggplant jerky

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

T

he old axiom “you are what you eat” has a special resonance with Amy Wiesner, a Norwalk-based naturopathic physician and acupuncturist. In her professional capacity, Wiesner frequently treats patients whose medical conditions have been exacerbated by a poor diet.

“Eating is the only thing you do multiple times a day, every single day,” said Wiesner, who has been in practice for 15 years. “To continue eating unhealthy things over and over again is not good for you.”

Wiesner noted that while her medical practice is often based on a reactive approach to a patient’s concerns, she

began experimenting with different recipes for snack foods that could ensure a more proactive strategy for better nutrition. After trial-and-error testing, Wiesner came up with Verky, an organic vegan jerky that substitutes eggplant for beef.

“It is soy free, sugar free and wheat free,” Wiesner said. “And the eggplant is raw, which means it was dehydrated for a long time at a low temperature, so it maintains its vitamins, minerals, nutrients and enzymes — they are not killed off by the high temperature cooking process. Eggplant has antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C, and it is a healthy food that helps you get your digestive system to work properly. It’s also very filling.

With the water taken out, it

tends to be very chewy.”

Wiesner added that traditional beef jerky carries some issues with its chief ingredient. “Beef sometimes is not organic,” she said.

“Sometimes it has hormones or pesticides and the feed that is used for the cattle could have hormones and pesticides. Plus, there can be issues with the water they’re drinking and the conditions they’re in, and all of those things could create an unhealthy environment.”

Wiesner’s ingredient mix for Verky is relatively minimal: eggplant, olive oil, raw mesquite powder and raw agave. For a spicy version of Verky, she added cayenne pepper to heat up the taste buds. A one-ounce serving offers only 30 calories, 160 milligrams of sodium (or 7

percent of the daily value) and 2 grams of carbohydrates (or 1 percent of the daily value).

Wiesner sources her eggplants from local producers when the vegetable is in season, but relies on out-of-state supplies in the off-season months. She emphasized the use of raw agave among her ingredients.

“There are some agaves that are processed in high temperatures and those tend not to be so healthy because it is too sugary,” she said.

“Mine is raw and it doesn’t

have negative effects.”

Wiesner began making Verky at an incubator kitchen in Westport in April 2016 and sold her first bag six months later at Westport’s Organic Market under the corporate banner of Dr. Amy’s Organics. The products are now manufactured at the Raw Food Central facility in Berlin, Connecticut, and she has expanded into retail sales at two regional grocery chains — Fairfield County’s Garelick & Herbs and Westchester’s DeCicco & Sons — plus The Well Natural

Market in Wilton and natural food retailers in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara, California; e-commerce is handled via Amazon and her DrAmysOrganics. com website.

Wiesner declined to cite her startup costs and profits to date. She is running a one-woman operation and arranges for the retail distribution of Verky by herself rather than using a third party. At the moment, Verky production and sales and her medical practice evenly divide her schedule, and she is also considering a product expansion into body care products made from organic ingredients.

As for the inspiration for becoming an entrepreneur, Wiesner said it was a do-it-yourself endeavor.

“I don’t have a role model or mentor,” she said, with a laugh. “I was really just interested in healthy food and healthy lifestyle and a plantbased diet.”

Trumbull medical center adds multidisciplinary head and neck cancer clinic

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

S

milow Cancer Hospital has opened a multidisciplinary head and neck cancer clinic, the first of its kind in Fairfield County, at Yale New Haven Health’s Park Avenue Medical Center in Trumbull.

The clinic coordinates and streamlines care for the convenience of patients, according to Dr. Heather Osborn. A Yale Medicine head and neck surgeon, Osborn is teaming with radiation oncologist Dr. Kirtesh Patel and medical oncologist Dr. Harold Tara to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

“Over the past several years, we’ve seen a considerable amount of evidence that patients receiving a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to their treatment can have better outcomes,” Osborn said.

According to a December 2017 article on ScienceDirect, a website that provides access to scientific and medical research, the possible benefits of such an approach in high-risk or major cancer surgery include more timely diagnosis and treatment decisions, as well as more effective communication among all team members.

And according to a 2016 article on the same site, “Given the complexities of multimodality treatment for patients with head and neck cancer, the rationale for the use of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) to define individual optimal treatment strategies on a per-patient basis is apparent. Increased use of guideline-directed approaches, reduced time to treatment and improved outcomes, which result from use of an MDT approach in head and neck cancer, have been documented.”

“For a cancer patient, being able to see everyone in one day can really make a difference,” Osborn, who joined the Smilow team last June, said. “Otherwise they might see me one day, the radiation oncologist the following week, and the medical oncologist a few days after that.

That adds up to a couple of weeks and with cancer treatment, you don’t want to waste any time if you can avoid it.”

By collaborating with each other during and after a given appointment — Osborn said such meetings, which can include blood tests and various other screenings, average 90 minutes — additional delays can be avoided as well.

The physicians and patients usually conclude by discussing and agreeing upon a treatment plan. In addition to the three doctors, the appointment can also

include consultations and recommendations from physical and speech therapists, nutritionists, a nurse navigator and social workers.

Having previously been a resident physician at the University of Toronto and a clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School, Osborn said she’d only met her colleagues Patel and Tara as they were setting up the 2,000-square-foot clinic, which officially opened April 2. “But we’ve gotten to know each other well,” she said. “We all have a tremendous amount of respect for each other.”

Smilow Cancer Center Trumbull

She noted that appointments will initially be scheduled for Tuesday afternoons — “our goal is to see about six patients in an afternoon” — before the schedule is expanded as demand requires.

“Providing this is a major advance for this area,” Osborn said. “We will be able to see more patients in Fairfield County in a more efficient manner, which should make for better oncological outcomes.

“I’m really proud of what we’ve created and achieved,” she added, “and I think our patients will be as excited as we are.”

Professors create second edition of their textbook

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

E

ight years ago, Julie Stewart and Susan DeNisco, both professors at Sacred Heart University’s College of Nursing, saw the publication of their textbook “Role Development for the Nurse Practitioner.” In the ensuing years, the professors realized that this would not be a one-off happening.

“In almost every field, when you get something published, you wind up with more issues to add to the book,” said Stewart.

In January, Stewart and DeNisco’s publisher, Jones & Bartlett Learning, released the second edition of “Role Development for the Nurse

16

Practitioner.” The second edition offers new chapters on topics, including electronic health records and global health issues, as well as an in-depth consideration of what the authors described as “vulnerable populations.”

“We look at populations that are medically underserved, disenfranchised and marginalized: the homeless, immigrants, migrants, transgendered individuals,” said DeNisco, who added that nursing and health care needs to adapt to shifts in the population. “The demographics of our world are changing. In the U.S., minorities will outnumber the majority by 2040, and there will be more elderly than children.”

Stewart also pointed out

FCBJ

that the new edition offers updated considerations on the role that adverse childhood events play in adult health. “It is not only something we usually think of, such as depression and anxiety, but it can also impact cancer, heart disease and asthma,” she said.

Designed to help students in their transition from the role of registered nurse to nurse practitioner, “Role Development for the Nurse Practitioner” covers both the history of the nurse practitioner profession to a contemporary consideration of topics, including unique practice theory, clinical evaluation and presenting a patient case to the preceptor. Stewart noted that nurse practitioner students aiming for graduate and

doctorate degrees had previously needed to acquire articles from various journals and chapters from different textbooks to cover the subjects required for their coursework.

“I thought students need to have one source to access,” said Stewart, who first proposed the idea for the book to DeNisco.

Stewart admitted that the year-long creation of the book “wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be,” but she added that she enjoyed part-

nering with DeNisco on the project. “It was a pleasure to work with someone you know well,” she said. “We all have ups and downs, ebbs and flows in life, and it is important to know there is someone who can pick up the work if something goes on in the other’s life.”

The first edition of “Role Development for the Nurse Practitioner” resulted in a five-star review from Doody’s Review Service, a clinical information database. And while Stewart

and DeNisco may not rival J.K. Rowling for book sales — Stewart admitted the book’s audience was a “small target group” — they found themselves enjoying praise within their field.

“I’ve gone to conferences with other nurse practitioner faculty and they say, ‘Oh, we love your book and use your book,’” Stewart said.

“The students enjoy having a textbook written by their faculty,” said DeNisco.

While promoting their new work, both professors have their own writing projects underway, with DeNisco readying a fourth edition of the textbook “Advanced Practical Nursing” and Stewart writing “Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate Review.” However, they admit that “Role Development for the Nurse Practitioner” holds a special place for them.

“We love the book,” DeNisco acknowledged. “We think it is our favorite textbook.”

GOOD THINGS STAMFORD CENTER REACCREDITED BY NAPBC

Photo by Bob Rozycki.

The Stamford Health Breast Center located at Stamford Hospital has been awarded a full, three-year accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons.

“This reaccreditation is an amazing honor as it recognizes our entire team’s endless hard work and dedication to offering the highest-quality care for patients diagnosed with breast disease,” said Dr. David Gruen, co-director of the center and director of women’s imaging.

In 2009, Stamford Hospital was the first site in the nation to be accredited by the NAPBC and was reaccredited in 2012 and 2015.

“As we work hard to provide the best care for our patients, our multidisciplinary team is always evaluating processes and programs to make sure that we exceed the NAPBC’s standards,” said Dr. Helen A. Pass, co-director of the center and chief of breast surgery.

The NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and monitoring of outcomes of patients with breast diseases.

NEW OFFICER AND NEW EFFORT AT AMERICARES

Stamford-based Americares has announced the promotion of Lindsay O’Brien to vice president of U.S. programs and partnerships. In her new role, O’Brien will be responsible for implementing innovative clinic-based programs that expand access to care for millions of low-income, uninsured patients. O’Brien will also direct research initiatives on diabetes prevention, healthy food integration and hypertension.

O’Brien, a Riverside resident, has been with Americares since 2013 when she was hired to manage the organization’s Hurricane Sandy recovery program.

Hurricane recovery is still very much on the front burner for Americares. Former President Bill Clinton and Americares President and CEO Michael J. Nyenhuis announced a new effort, “Healing for Health Workers: Building Mental Health Capacity in Post-Maria Puerto Rico.” The announcement was made at the Clinton Global Initiative Action Network’s meeting in Miami on disaster recovery.

Americares will train 5,000 health workers and emergency responders in Puerto Rico to better identify, assess and respond to the mental health and psychosocial needs of patients in the aftermath of the devastation caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Puerto Rico’s Department of Health reported an increase in suicides in 2017; 253 compared with 196 in 2016. Calls to suicide hotlines have spiked in recent months.

“We will expand the capacity of health workers and emergency responders to identify and treat hurricane survivors with mental health needs and connect them to services, as well as support health workers’ own needs,” said Kate Dischino, Americares vice president of emergency programs.

Tommy James has sold more than 100 million records. He has been awarded 23 gold singles and nine gold and platinum records.

In addition to MacKinnon, honey producers, farmers, gardeners and garden suppliers will be on hand. A portion of all proceeds from the day, which is supported by Panera Bread in New Milford, will benefit the local Sierra Club.

The Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) granted accreditation to The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk for another five years.

Brian Davis, president of the aquarium, said, “Accreditation is an arduous process that requires adherence and evaluation of strict animal-care guidelines to fulfill the high standards of a premier, accredited facility.”

AZA President and CEO Dan Ashe said, “The Maritime Aquarium demonstrates that it is committed to exemplary animal care and welfare, educational and inspiring guest experiences, and AZA’s mission to conserve our world’s wild animals and wild places.”

There are approximately 2,800 animal exhibitors in North America licensed by the USDA. Only 8 percent of them currently are accredited by the AZA. “Continued accreditation gives us exciting momentum as we approach our 30th anniversary this summer and confirms that we continue to excel as an exceptional resource that staff, our guests and this community can celebrate,” Davis said. He is a member of AZA’s board of directors.

Paul F. Larsen has joined New Canaan-based Bankwell as senior vice president and head of commercial and industrial lending.

Larsen has more than 30 years of experience in commercial lending. He was most recently the managing director and regional market executive for commercial banking at Boston-based Santander Bank.

Heidi DeWyngaert, Bankwell’s executive vice president and chief lending officer, said, “With his extensive background in commercial lending and specifically lending to small and medium-size businesses for their commercial and industrial needs, he will be an exceptional resource for the bank and its customers.”

Greenwich Hospital has selected Diane Kelly to become its chief operating officer and executive vice president effective April 30. She also will become a senior vice president of parent organization Yale New Haven Health.

“Diane has a proven track record in health care administration with many years of experience in direct patient care and hospital operations,” said Norman Roth, president and chief executive officer. “She is renowned for her ability to collaborate with physicians and ensure the success of her organization.”

Kelly has been COO of Berkshire Medical Center since 2008. While there, she also served as vice president of quality and safety and was instrumental in developing the patient safety program.
