nine buildings totaling 464 rental apartments. Construction on the second phase is expected to start in late 2019 and will include 184 apartments in two buildings.

The apartments will include studio, onebedroom and two-bedroom units.

The complex will feature common areas to encourage residential interaction, as well as an on-site coffee shop that will be open to the public during business hours, Barry said. Space will also be available for local entrepreneurs like florists and restaurateurs to show their wares, he noted, in an effort at making Stamford Urby “more interactive.”

At an Oct. 3 groundbreaking ceremony, David Barry, president of Ironstate Development Co., touted the new Stamford Urby residential development project on the 4.3-acre site as “a hole that will be filled with something exciting and new.”

Stamford Urby will be completed in two phases, the first of which consists of

mid a continuing state budget crisis, Connecticut business leaders and elected officials hailed as “good news” the plans by Charter Communications Inc. to build a 500,000-square-foot, 15-story headquarters building and expand its business operations at Gateway at Harbor Point in Stamford.

Following its commitment to create and retain 400 jobs under the state’s First Five Program in 2012, Charter on Oct. 3 said it would create an additional 1,100 jobs in the corporate headquarters at 406 Washington Blvd. and has agreed to a total of $100 million in planned capital expenditures in Connecticut over the next several years.

The communications company two days later announced it plans to further expand its business footprint in Connecticut by basing its entire captive insurance operations in the state.

“Since relocating Charter’s headquarter operations to Stamford in 2012, the company has undergone a transformation to become the second-largest cable provider in the U.S.,” Charter Chairman and CEO Tom Rutledge said when announcing plans for the new headquarters. “This new, state-of-the-art facility in downtown Stamford will provide Charter the necessary resources to facilitate its continued growth.”

"We are thrilled to partner with Charter to develop their new headquarters here at Gateway Harbor Point," said Carl Kuehner, CEO of Building and Land Technology Inc., which will construct

Mary’s ghost savors 90 years of stagings at the Palace

here is a tradition in the theater of the ghost light, an exposed incandescent electric bulb on a light stand that is left burning on stage when the venue is closed. While most theater historians cite the light’s origins as a safety beacon in the pre-flashlight days, its name suggests a more ghoulish origin.

Michael E. Moran Jr., executive director of Stamford’s Palace Theatre, enjoys telling the ectoplasmic version of the light that burns when his 61 Atlantic St. venue is empty.

“One story is that all theaters are haunted, and they leave on a light for the ghosts so they can come out,” he said. “We believe this is one of those theaters. Mary Vuono was the woman who had the Palace Theatre built in 1927 and there have been sightings of Mary’s ghost several times over the years. She’s been very friendly, just making sure that we’re taking good care of her home.”

An Italian immigrant, Mary Vuono was the wife of a Stamford construction company co-founder and president and ran the former Strand Theatre, adjacent to what would be the Atlantic Street site of the Palace Theatre. She owned the Palace for more than 50 years, until her death in 1978.

If Mary Vuono’s ghost is present, she has been enjoying a rich variety of shows as the theater celebrates its 90th anniversary year. The legendary rock band Chicago sold out the 1,590-seat hall in late September, while this month will see such diverse offerings as stand-up comic Lewis Black, Food Network personality Alton Brown’s multimedia “Eat Your Science” presentation and the Stamford Symphony Orchestra interpreting the classical compositions of Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. And the Palace will kick off a new series of film screenings on Oct. 27 with the 1993 Bette Midler horror-comedy romp “Hocus Pocus,” with a $5 admission along with free pastries and cider.

“We’re going to get back into film,” said Moran. “‘Hocus Pocus’ will be our first, and we’re going to follow up in November with Warren Miller’s extreme ski movie ‘Line of Descent’ and in December with ‘Sing Along Frozen.’”

Conceived as a vaudeville theater that attracted major headliners, including Will Rogers, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and The Three Stooges, today’s Palace in its schedule reflects demographic changes in Stamford and surrounding areas. A popular staple of the venue’s lineup are live shows based on popular children’s programming. PBS shows “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” and

The long-lived rock band Chicago on stage in Stamford on Sept. 28.

“Wild Kratts” and the broadcast classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will be presented on the Palace stage in coming weeks. Moran is also aware of Stamford’s growing millennial population and is seeking their input for new shows.

“I’m getting constant recommendations from millennial audiences,” he said. “We did something not too long ago that we thought would be a very popular event for them: we brought the High & Mighty Brass Band in and removed the first nine rows of seats so we could have the standing, dancing, be close to the band environment. We want to do more of those, but we have to find those right acts.”

Moran, who came to the Palace in 2000 after working as director of operations for Crown Theatres, is confident that he can secure the right mix of programming.

“Comedy is really the go-to for us,” he said, noting upcoming appearances by Chicago City Limits and Ron White. “It’s always pretty successful. It’s not expensive to do. You don’t have four tractor trailers showing up — it’s just a guy who shows up in a limousine.”

But Moran stays away from touring versions of Broadway shows, owing both to the Palace’s proximity to the New York stage and the focus of other Connecticut theaters, including the Shubert in New Haven and Waterbury’s Palace, in offering those presentations. And while the Palace had presented original live dramatic theater in the past, that is no longer the focus.

“We lean towards this as a presenting organization instead of a producing organization,” Moran said. “We operated the Rich Forum and that was designed as a producing organization, and they did five to six shows a year.”

Both the Palace and the Rich Forum are under the umbrella of the Stamford Center for the Arts. The Rich Forum, one block down from the Palace, is leased by

Week of October 09, 2017 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

NBCUniversal as a television production studio. For its part, the Palace relies on a mix of public and private sector input to support its approximately $3 million operating budget.

“We get money from state funding, city funding, individual donations, corporate funding and ticket revenues,” said Moran.

“And we rent the building as well. Midtown Men were here on Sept. 30 as a fundraiser for Malta House, and Hunter Hayes will be here on Nov. 11 for a fundraiser for Dana’s Angels Research Trust. Oftentimes, this is the best facility from the New York state line to the Klein in Bridgeport, and people use it as a resource for their organizations.”

Moran, who admitted to being in “friendly competition” with rival venues in Westchester County and Connecticut, noted that the Palace does attract out-ofstate audiences. Some in the audience at a recent concert by Christian singer Matthew West, for example, had ZIP codes from Westchester and the Springfield-Chicopee area in Massachusetts.

But the Palace’s executive director said that despite being in business for 90 years, the Stamford venue is still unknown to many people. “One of the greatest challenges we have is trying to reach the people who don’t know about us. I could have Jerry Seinfeld in this building and the following weekend someone would say, ‘I didn’t know you had Jerry Seinfeld.’ It’s a constant challenge.

Stamford is a very transient community and it is really difficult to maintain that consistent wide net of marketing. But once we get you, we got you.”

At least one show biz legend is taken with the Palace. “Tony Bennett has been here a couple of times and on both occasions, he asked the quartet not to play and he sang a cappella,” Moran said. “And he commented on how phenomenal the acoustics in this building are. Hey, it doesn’t get better than that.”

Nile boat rides on this travel agent’s itineraries

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

nyone frustrated by the challenges of trying to re-enter the workforce after a decade away might want to take a tip from Nancy Yale.

“I started out knowing nothing about business,” she laughed. “It was really trial and error.”

Yale is the owner and president of Cruise and World Travel, a Fairfield company now in its 25th year. Starting from an office in her home, she has built the travel agency into one that books more than $12 million in travel each year, expanding her office at 1875 Post Road six times to encompass two floors and accommodate her and

her seven employees.

A former speech and language pathologist, Yale took down her shingle to raise her and husband Abe’s three children. By 1992 she was ready to go back to work — but as what?

“My husband and I always liked to travel, especially back before we had kids,” she said.

“So I decided to try being a travel agent. It was just on a whim, really.”

She began by spending weekends at bridal shows, gathering contact information from soon-to-be-wed women looking for help to book their honeymoons.

“This was before the internet really took off,” Yale said, “and they appreciated the personal touch that other travel agencies didn’t necessarily provide. More and more of them wanted to come and see me, and although I had an office in my house, it didn’t really feel all that professional.”

Word of mouth soon turned into referrals and Yale took the plunge on the Fairfield office space. Within a year she joined Virtuoso, a luxury travel consortium.

“I did my research and tried going to entrepreneurial women’s networks and chamber of commerce meetings,” she said.

“But those usually wound up being people trying to get business from each other.”

Instead she increased her engagements with prospective customers and under the Virtuoso aegis began concentrating on luxury travel, defining what clients really wanted and setting about making that a reality.

Nancy Yale at her 25-year-old travel agency, Cruise and World Travel, in Fairfield.

“I had to be quick on my feet,” she said. “More and more people were looking to make their vacations a real travel experience, which they couldn’t really put together themselves.”

Yale began traveling more, familiarizing herself with local guides in locales like Budapest, Prague and India, as well as on Mediterranean cruises and African safaris.

“People who just want to shop for a trip on the internet or do an Airbnb — that’s not my market,” she said.

Honeymooners are still a key component of her clientele. “I’ve worked with some people who are on their third or fourth one,” she laughed. “Now I get the husband and his new girlfriend, and the wife and her new boyfriend, looking to book with me. They were fruitful and multiplied!”

The honeymooners are generally waiting until later to get married, Yale has observed.

“When they were younger, they might want

to go to the Caribbean and stay at a Sandals.

But now they’re maybe in their 30s and have saved enough money to go to Africa, Thailand, Vietnam. They want those kinds of travel experiences before they settle down and have kids, and they’ve saved the $15 to 20,000 to make that kind of trip feasible.”

One recent trip arranged by Yale involved a regular 85-year-old client “who’d been all over the world already. She’d seen the Parthenon and been on a lot of cruises and was looking for something different to do with her children.”

When Yale suggested a gorilla trek in Rwanda, “She said, ‘Nancy, do you think I can do it?’ She’s perfectly able to walk, but we arranged for four schleppers to carry her up a mountain on a stretcher to see the gorillas.”

Other custom-made trips that Cruise and World Travel offers include a boat ride down the Nile in Egypt and breakfast at the Tower of London, “before everybody else gets there.”

Her own favorite locale, she said, is Africa. “There are some beautiful lodges in Tanzania with great food and all the amenities. During the day you’re in a Land Rover seeing things that you really can’t see anywhere else.”

Advice for budding entrepreneurs? “You don’t need to think you need to pay a lot of money to set yourself up, hire a PR firm and do this and that,” Yale said. “I never extended myself beyond what I was doing and this has been the result.”

Chambers of commerce lead charge for change in health care costs

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

R

esponding to the spiraling costs of employee health care plans for businesses, Connecticut Chamber of Commerce executives and their health insurance marketing partner Chamber Insurance Trust are meeting with and surveying chamber members across the state as first steps in a collective effort to better navigate a changing health care marketplace.

“The number one cost of doing business today is the cost of health insurance,” said JoAnn Ryan, president of Connecticut’s Chambers of Commerce Leadership Council and president of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce in Torrington. “And it’s been that way for a number of years.”

Chamber executives cited a Kaiser Family Foundation report that found the health insurance cost per employee in Connecticut averaged more than $6,545 in 2016, the fifth highest in the continental U.S. In addition, the Connecticut Insurance Department recently approved an average 31.7 percent rate increase on the policies Anthem offers individuals next year, both on and off Access Health CT, the state health insurance exchange. The department also approved an average rate increase of 25.4 percent for Anthem small-group policies bought

by Connecticut businesses and nonprofits.

Ryan noted that the more than 65 chambers of commerce in the state, which service tens of thousands of members, are operating cooperatively with six regional Chamber Benefit Centers. Each chamber will certify selected insurance agent members as chamber health care navigators, who will provide detailed training to address the changes in the health care marketplace and outline possible new solutions.

The first multichamber meeting was held in September at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, with Tolland County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Candice Corcione helping to organize the event.

“Businesses in our 13 communities are practically shouting from the rooftops about the increasing health care costs,” Corcione said. “As a chamber executive, my numberone responsibility is to help our region’s companies address their problems.”

“The rising costs of health care have become a priority,” she added. “Working together, we have the tools and member power to make a difference, and we will.”

Companies met with officials at the Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce in Torrington on Sept. 27.

Orientation events for the Danbury and

Middlesex chambers will be held on Oct. 11, while the chamber orientation event on the Fairfield County coast will be hosted by the Norwalk Chamber and Benefit Center on Oct. 19. Additional chambers across Connecticut will announce their events soon, said Chamber Insurance Trust CEO Stephen Glick.

In their dealings with insurance carriers and employee group plans, “Most employers lost control of the process,” Glick said.

“There’s no transparency whatsoever.”

While that has not necessarily been an obstacle for large companies, it is the middlemarket firms, defined as those with 20 to 500 employees, who have lost control of their ability to contain costs, Glick said.

While the federal and state governments can help, continuing to simply wait for them to act is no longer an option, he said.

Solutions like low-cost supplemental insurance can allow an employer to have a more affordable, higher-deductible plan but still protect employees, he said.

“The only way a middle-market company can contain health care costs is by taking control of the expenses,” said Glick.

“Companies need to pay less for the insurance plan’s administration, marketing and profits. They need to reduce claims through management and wellness, better manage the drug benefit, and a have a health plan designed for their unique company.”

“The idea of managing your health care costs once a year at rate renewal is over,” he added.

The chamber and CIT are launching the Connecticut Health Care Response Survey this month to gather further business feedback and data throughout the state.

Questions were still being finalized, Glick said, but the survey would include demographic and geographic data in addition to serving as another venue to express concerns and possible solutions.

Ryan said anecdotal information indicates that many middle-market companies are forgoing investment, reducing or putting off new employment and seeking outsourcing solutions, both out of state and overseas, to address the health care cost conundrum.

“Our survey will provide companies direct input and give us the data we need to better educate ourselves, our board members and community stakeholders on the immediate needs of the companies,” she said.

Glick said he expected to drill down to smaller companies — those with less than 20 employees — over the coming months.

“Our chambers of commerce have a lot of clout and we will work together to make something positive happen in Connecticut,” he said.

WILMINGTON TRUST RENOWNED INSIGHT

“Shouldn’t you decide what will become of your business?”

Bruce F. Hoffmeister Director of Wealth and Fiduciary Planning Bruce has more than two decades of experience in estate and financial planning for closely held business owners and their families. He is part of a seasoned team of professionals who exemplify Wilmington Trust’s 114-year heritage of successfully advising business owners.

For access to knowledgeable professionals like Bruce and the rest of our team, contact Sharon Klein at 212-415-0547.

Heads of successful family businesses are often reluctant to share control and involve other family members in the management process. But do you know what would happen to your business if you suddenly became incapacitated or worse, passed away?

Who would step in to manage day-to-day operations? And even if you have a successor in mind, is that successor ready and capable of stepping up and running the business?

Starting early. Ideally, succession planning should begin the day you take over a business. Of course, that isn’t always realistic given the amount of work running a business takes, but succession planning needs to be a top priority. Most importantly, you will need to decide if you want to keep the business in the family or eventually sell it.

Looking down the road. To make the important decisions, you have to think about how you envision your retirement.

You’ll need to determine if you want to be actively involved in the business in some capacity for the remainder of your life.

You should ask yourself if you want to be chairman of the board and collect the net

income. And you should know whether the business will generate sufficient cash flow to support you and your family in retirement.

Stamford Urby — » » From page 1

Barry’s Hoboken-based real estate firm has opened other Urby developments in Jersey City, Staten Island and Harrison, New Jersey. Stamford Urby is a joint venture partnership of Ironstate and Brookfield Property Group.

Barry told the Business Journal that Ironstate is “very bullish on Stamford as a city.

We have a history of downtown revitalization and Stamford has a similar environment” to those other markets, given their infrastructure, access to transportation and general economic makeup, he said.

“This site has been a black hole on the streetscape of downtown Stamford for a long time,” Barry said. “We see this as an opportunity to add to the area’s attractions and street life.”

Barry said that Ironstate might explore further opportunities in Stamford and Connecticut, but its focus for now will be on Stamford Urby.

Ironstate and co-developer F.D. Rich Co. of Stamford bought the parcel in 2013 fol-

the build-to-suit facility with an option to expand the Washington Boulevard site into a two-building campus. "We look forward to working with their team to create a modern workplace and ecosystem to continue Charter's strong growth here in Stamford."

“Charter Communications has been a steadfast corporate citizen since they relocated here in 2012,” Stamford Mayor David Martin said. “We are happy that they chose to stay in Stamford and add jobs and expand their workforce here.

This investment in our city is good news and we applaud their vote of confidence in Stamford.”

The state Department of Economic and Community Development will provide a 10-year, $10 million low-interest loan to support the project through the state’s First Five Plus program. State funding may be used for new equipment and leasehold improvements.

In addition, the company may be eligible for loan forgiveness based on job creation and if employment obligations are met. Charter Communications will also

“We’ve waited a very long time for the development of this property — the elusive, ever-present hole in the ground,” said Chris Kelly, director of development at F.D. Rich.

Kelly said he expected Stamford Urby to “bring millions in financial benefits to the city for decades to come.”

receive up to $10 million in tax credits through the state’s Urban and Industrial Sites Reinvestment Tax Credit program.

Additional tax credits are available if the company exceeds job targets.

The project will break ground after receiving final land-use approvals from the city of Stamford.

"This is clearly good news for Connecticut and for Stamford," Joe McGee, vice president of public policy and programs at The Business Council of Fairfield County, told the Business Journal. “There has been so much negativity in the press about Connecticut, but over the last couple of months we’ve seen Henkel coming in, Indeed expanding and now this. There’s a lot of good news.”

McGee said he sees the Charter announcement as indicative of Stamford’s and the county’s growing momentum.

“We have one of the safest small cities in America, a very good quality of life here and a very affordable and attractive labor force.”

“The other really big issue is the growing differential between here and New York City. We’re more competitive with our housing stock, our schools and the cost of doing business.”

Gioia said that, as a result of Brexit, he expected more multinational firms to give Stamford and Fairfield County a look when considering options for building a U.S. presence. "The whole region is really well-positioned. Norwalk, Greenwich, Darien and Westport all have very real possibilities, since they're all dirtcheap when compared to Manhattan," he said.

Charter on Oct. 4 announced that it will base its captive insurance business, Spectrum Communications Indemnity Inc., in Stamford. The state Insurance Department initially licensed the captive insurer last December and Charter this year merged all its captive insurance operations, reporting combined assets of approximately $400 million following the merger. Spectrum’s annual premiums are anticipated to be approximately $157 million for the current fiscal year.

The second-largest cable company in the U.S., Charter serves more than 26 million customers in 41 states.

The arts are vital to Connecticut’s economy

T

he arts are critical to Connecticut’s future and every man, woman and child can make a contribution in some way to the state.

As an artist and member of the Connecticut Arts Council, I am acutely aware of the contributions that the arts and culture provide to the state’s economy.

The Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study, released in June, demonstrated that arts and culture across Connecticut generated $797.3 million in economic activity in 2015. Arts and culture supported 23,114 jobs throughout Connecticut. Nationally, this industry generated $166.3 billion in economic activity.

Yet many of our arts organizations are struggling today despite the yeoman’s work of hundreds of employees who labor diligently to bring the visual and performing arts to Connecticut’s residents.

I have been fortunate to exhibit around the state and see firsthand the professionalism and dedication of staff at the Ballarmine Museum of Fairfield University; the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts,

part of the University of New Haven; and currently with my shows “Eco-Visions” at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk and “Paint the Beautiful World” at The Palace Theater in Stamford.

These dedicated people work long hours and don’t receive large salaries. They are doing what they love and believe in and we benefit from their dedication to and passion for the arts.

I trust that Gov. Dannel Malloy and the State Legislature will make a good decision and provide significant funding for the arts in next year’s budget. But I maintain that what the arts in Connecticut need the most is the support of all local businesses.

When residents attend a cultural event, they eat in local restaurants, pay for parking and buy gifts and souvenirs. The Connecticut Arts Alliance calculates that each attendee spends more than $27 on related goods and services, not including the ticket cost.

Hundreds of businesses throughout the state also benefit from our robust tourism industry. Sixty-nine percent of visitors

to Connecticut say that they come for arts and cultural offerings. The arts contribute significantly to a thriving economy.

In addition, research has shown that children who study music, drama or the visual arts are far more likely to do well in school, particularly with problemsolving. This is yet another good reason that our schools should make sure that the arts remain part of the curriculum to help tackle the achievement gap we have in Connecticut. Organizations like the Silvermine Arts Center are already providing art classes at public schools in Norwalk.

CEOs of large and small companies need to get involved. Here are three simple yet significant ways that companies or individuals can help: • Encourage editors to create more articles on the importance of the arts in our lives. If a story appears, write a letter to the editor to start a dialogue or write an op-ed highlighting how the arts enrich everyone’s life.

• Give your employees an incentive to support the arts and celebrate those who

do. Teach your child about charity and supporting the arts.

• Allocate money from your corporate foundation for the arts. Consider inkind contributions or matching funds for your company.

If each of us chose just one arts organization to support with a donation, it would have a ripple effect in contributing to the overall economy of our state.

The Connecticut Arts Council Foundation was recently launched as a 401(c)(3) by the Connecticut Arts Council.

Its mission is engendering support from individuals and corporations. The foundation will be supporting the arts — as we hope all Connecticut residents and businesses will. The arts, including music, drama, and visual arts, bring enrichment and joy to all of our lives.

MEDICAL WASTE PLANT OPENS IN BRIDGEPORT

Charlie Dippolito Jr., senior vice president of Future Healthcare Systems. Photo by Phil Hall.

Future Healthcare Systems, a Mount Vernonbased medical waste processing company, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 28 at its first Connecticut location at 750 South Ave. in Bridgeport.

“There’s not a single facility like this in the state,” said Charlie Dippolito Jr., senior vice president of the company, whose new operation occupies a 25,000-square-foot plant that was vacant for 17 years. Future Healthcare Systems spent 14 months and $3.5 million to renovate the facility, with a

$750,000 grant from the state.

The facility is designed to offer a faster and more cost-effective manner for processing nonhazardous medical waste. Dippolito said Connecticut hospitals and health care facilities have been shipping waste to a transfer station in Middletown, from where the waste is then shipped to a Rhode Island plant to be autoclaved, sterilized using steam under pressure, before being sent to another plant at the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border for its final destruction.

The Bridgeport plant will now enable the waste to be autoclaved locally, with salvageable volume recycled and the remainder incinerated at the Wheelabrator Wasteto-Energy facility three blocks away at 6 Howard Ave. The plant, which will process waste from facilities in the tri-state area, is expected to employ between 25 and 30 people initially.

A key element of hiring will be the providing of employment to local residents who have been unable to find work due to a criminal record.

“That’s a pillar of my company,” Dippolito said. “I grew up in the Bronx and a lot of the guys I grew up with were incarcerated. I couldn’t stand when people were turned down for a job because of something stupid they did when they were young.”

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim also spoke at the ceremony and noted Future Healthcare Systems’ place within the clean tech busi-

ness sector evolving across the city’s south and west ends.

“The new facility is a perfect fit for our green business cluster in the Bridgeport EcoTechnology Park,” he said.

GROUNDBREAKING AT STAMFORD MUSEUM & NATURE CENTER

A rendering of the new Environmental Education Farmhouse at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center.

Gov. Dannel Malloy and Stamford Mayor David Martin were among the dignitaries on hand at an Oct. 2 groundbreaking ceremony for the Stamford Museum & Nature Center’s new environmental education farmhouse.

The 4,000-square-foot farmhouse is the first addition to the center's 118-acre campus in 50 years.

The facility will include indoor space for nature and agricultural experiential learn-

ing, a terrace with views of the existing landscape and pastures of Heckscher Farm and a large multipurpose room and mobile teaching kitchen. Enrichment programs will be held year round for school groups, campers and families. The farmhouse will also provide a teaching environment for the center's Aligned-With-Our-Schools-Program, which has increased by 300 percent, serving 33,350 school-age children.

The maple sugar and cidering house also will be reconstructed and moved with an expectation of creating an additional 13 percent growth in programming.

The ceremony included the announcement of plans for another key addition to the campus: a new astronomy and physical science center, which will complete the center’s master plan to build future capacity for the museum’s educational and public spaces.

At 8,000 square feet, the astronomy and physical science center will include an expanded observatory with a full planetarium. The facility will feature three levels that include the planetarium auditorium, a science lab and a public outdoor viewing deck with steps leading into a 40-foot aluminum dome that will house a 22-inch research telescope.

It will also serve as a center for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and astronomy and math) education.

POLL FAVORS BRIDGEPORT CASINO A new poll shows strong support by Bridgeport residents for MGM Resorts International’s proposed Bridgeport casino.

The survey, conducted on behalf of MGM by The Mellman Group, asked 500 registered Bridgeport voters several questions about the casino. Men supported the plan by a 79-14 percent tally, while women supported it by a 70-20 percent majority.

The survey also broke down statistics by race, with the proposal being supported

by African-Americans 74-16 percent, Latinos 78-15 percent and Caucasians 73-21 percent.

Slightly more than half — 55 percent — said they believed the casino will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for state and local governments. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The MGM Bridgeport plan for Steelpointe Harbor was first announced on Sept. 18. The $675 million project would include: • a 300-room hotel;

• a 100,000-square-foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 160 table games; • 30,000 square feet of retail space; • a boardwalk on the Yellow Mill River with a 900-foot dock, retail outlets and outdoor entertainment; • a 20,000-square-foot entertainment venue with a 700-seat theater; and • 60,800 square feet of dining space that would include five restaurants and six bar and lounge locations.

DALIO: INCOME INEQUALITY IS BIGGEST ISSUE Ray Dalio, the Westport hedge fund executive whose wealth is estimated at $17 billion, has identified income inequality as the most severe problem facing Americans.

Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund with roughly $160 billion in assets, argued that the gap between the rich and everyone else has become acutely dangerous.

“I think the greatest issue of our time is the disparity of wealth and the problems that exist for the lower 40 percent of the population,” said Dalio. “If you carve out that lower 40 percent, not only has there been no income growth, but death rates are rising because of opiate use, suicide and because they’re losing jobs. This is the biggest issue of our time — the biggest economic issue, the biggest political issue and the biggest social issue.”

MarketWatch noted that U.S. income inequality grew by nearly 30 percent between the early 1960s and 2014, with a decline in labor unions seen as a major factor. Dalio made his observations at an event for Grameen America, an affiliate of the Bangladeshi microlending institution Grameen Bank that has financed entrepreneurship among impoverished women. Dalio said he hoped to expand the Grameen model throughout the U.S. market, where it operates in 13 cities.

“I know of no model that is better than this one,” Dalio said. “The women all root for each other and hold each other accountable, and they make it work all around.

Not only does this model fund itself, but it has an impact on the people who need the money the most.”

STRATFORD AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN WITHDRAWN An application that would have resulted in 120 affordable housing units on Stratford’s north end has been withdrawn.

Applicant 500 North Ave. LLC withdrew its plans for an affordable housing complex at 795 James Farm Road, giving no reason or indication as to whether it might reapply.

In May, Shelton’s Zoning Commission unanimously denied the developer’s application to use 35,000 cubic yards of fill for grading purposes at the James Farm Road site. In November, the zoning board rejected a proposal from the developer for a 60-unit

affordable housing complex at the site amidst a number of concerns, including what it said were incomplete plans.

In addition, a number of residents have voiced their opposition to an affordable housing complex at the site.

WESTPORT DOCTOR SENTENCED A federal judge in Maryland has sentenced Westport physician Jean-Francois Geschwind to a year and a day in prison for a multiyear travel expenses scheme involving the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz also ordered Geschwind, formerly a department head at the Yale School of Medicine, to follow the time in prison with three years of supervised release.

Geschwind, who pleaded guilty in July to four counts of mail fraud, was further ordered to make $583,484.31 in restitution to Johns Hopkins University, where he was employed as a physician in the division of vascular and interventional radiology between 1998 and 2015.

Prosecutors said that Geschwind submitted multiple travel expense statements for purported business expenses, when they were actually for such personal expenses as family vacations and meals.

He is scheduled to surrender on Dec. 4, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Afraid to lose clients We have a huge fear of losing clients. Sometimes it paralyzes us.

We’re afraid to stand up to bullies.

We don’t raise prices. We’re not clear which clients we really need.

We’re unsure if complaints are well deserved or just noise. And we’re not making enough money.

This is messed up and we need to fix it. Any suggestions?

your predictions. Do an annual review of all clients to ensure they remain profitable.

Include the cost of selling, implementing and managing each client.

Take a look at sales over the past several years. How many clients were profitable right from the start? How many clients became profitable with a little bit of work?

How many clients deteriorated in value over time? What trends do you see and where do you need to focus effort to deal with those trends?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: When building a business, it’s not just about growing revenue, it’s about growing profits.

Review client acquisition and retention practices. Build your list of ways to improve customer profitability and retain the best clients.

Profits come from profitable clients.

Focus most efforts on the best clients. When responding to squeaky wheels consciously decide whether or not that client is profitable enough to merit the effort.

Create a way to predict prospects’ profit performance. After you’ve gained a few months of experience go back and test

1. Figure out what work your company does that generates the greatest profit and focus on selling more of that.

2. Build a model that describes the attributes of your best clients; use it to help identify other high profit opportunities.

3. Assign two or more people to going after a list of high quality targets.

4. Set a goal for the number of clients you can add each year without overly stressing the company.

5. Contact 10 times as many companies as you need to sell each year.

6. Give your best clients awards and publish the results for all to see; make others

Here are 10 suggestions for improving customer profitability.

want to join that group.

7. Make a list of the least profitable accounts and figure out what needs to change; approach those clients to suggest changes and decide if you keep them based on how well they respond.

8. Get rid of 5 percent of your least profitable volume each year. At the same time implement a plan to add and grow profitable accounts by 10 percent to 20 percent.

9. Raise prices annually, at least enough to keep ahead of GDP growth.

10. Let go of risky opportunities that have low probability of turning around.

And here are six suggestions for retaining the best clients.

1. Look for partnership opportunities with your best clients — things that will tie those clients more closely to your company.

2. At least once a year, tell each high -profit account how much you appreciate their business.

3. Find out where your best clients are going next and develop solutions that will help them get there.

4. Assign your best people to your best accounts.

5. Ask management to get to know their counterparts personally, including the

people in finance, operations, sales, marketing, human resources, research, and other important positions.

6. Have a monthly meeting to review results and plans for top accounts, making those accounts the company’s priority.

When things go wrong and you lose a good client, don’t panic. Stuff happens in this world. Do a quick check on how much of the loss might stem from actions your company did or didn’t take and decide what changes to implement. Check to find out if you can get the client back. Then move on, knowing that turnover is a fact of life. Get even by making a concerted effort to get the next great client.

SPECIAL REPORT

ELDERCARE

From finance to child-rearing to franchise owner: a Greenwich woman’s venture

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

I

n 1999, Mimi W. Santry walked away from a financial services career to focus on raising her children in Greenwich.

“I loved the business, but with investment banking you’re on call 24/7,” said Santry, whose career included stints as managing director of the private finance group at Interstate/Johnson Lane and vice president and portfolio manager at J.P. Morgan & Co. “If someone wants you to work all night, you work all night. If someone wants you to fly back and forth to California in a day, you do it. Did that fit with my lifestyle? No.” Santry’s five children are now ages 20, 19, 17, 15 and 9, and earlier this year she began considering a return to the corporate world. But a reprise of her financial services work did not hold any appeal. “Now that my kids are getting older, I wanted to do something that was a business but was also helpful in the community,” she said.

While considering her career options, Santry was also dealing with a domestic crisis. “My husband’s aunt needed to find an assisted living facility. She was in Manhattan and had gotten to a point where she couldn’t take care of herself. We were in the process of being in that predicament of, ‘Oh my gosh, what do I do?’ When a lot of people have to make those decisions, they don’t have any idea where to get the data.”

Santry became aware of Assisted Living Locators, an eldercare placement franchise company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company provides no-cost services for seniors and their families by providing them with information and referrals on short-and long-term care options, including in-home care, independent living, assisted living, memory care and retirement apartments. The company’s franchises also offer data resources on eldercare lawyers, specialized health professionals, financial advisors and specialists in senior moving.

For now, Santry is relying on word of mouth to market her new services and running the franchise as a onewoman operation from her Greenwich home. But she expects to open a standalone office and hire support staff as her business grows.

As part of her learning process, Santry has newly considered her own future needs. She has purchased long-term care insurance to help finance her later years and is hopeful that she will be able to persuade others not to leave the issue for the last minute.

“Nobody thinks they’re going to need it,” Santry said. “There is a huge mismatch between the reality of what’s coming and people’s plans.”

Talking finances with aging parents

BY CHRISTINE TENORE

Y

ou may have noticed certain issues with your parents lately, perhaps a fall or a minor injury that has age-related written all over it, or even some issues with short-term memory.

You and certainly your parents find it difficult to discuss, but it may be time to have a family heart-to-heart talk about the future, their care and their finances. It is typically easier for a third party to guide and moderate the discussion, someone experienced in helping families address financial and legal concerns as well as personal care and housing options in a holistic manner for all involved.

If it is difficult to broach this subject. don't feel alone: a survey by the National Endowment for Financial Education found that 70 percent of adults who responded have difficulty talking about who will make financial decisions for elderly family members if or when they no longer can make those decisions on their own. The range of money problems among aging adults varies from something as simple as forgetting to pay an occasional bill to being completely incapable of making any finan-

cial decisions because of dementia or Alzheimer's.

Unquestionably these meetings can cause significant stress for all involved.

On the parents' side, they may be worried about losing their independence or admitting any weakness. On their adult children's side, it may be difficult to question their parents' ability to do what they've been doing for most of their lives or to accept evidence of their aging.

And, of course, there often are financial issues related to inheritance, issues that can easily result in confrontation.

In addition to simply convening the family meeting, there are questions as to who should be involved.

It may be helpful to approach your parents first and ask their preference for which family member or members should take the lead in helping.

There are dynamics in each fam-

ily, good and sometimes not so good, that determine how we relate to each other and what part in the discussion each will take.

The opinions of the older children may have more weight than younger siblings in some cases, or there may be one person who already has expertise in financial matters that will serve as a guide for discussions and decision making.

While it is generally a good rule to include immediate family members, there also may be cases where children-in-law, siblings or close friends can participate.

The meeting facilitator must decide what works best within the individual family framework and even if nonfamily members such as caregivers should be included.

Many find that an elder law attorney skilled in facilitating family meetings can help meet your and your parents’ goals.

The attorney you select should pro-

While it is generally a good rule to include immediate family members, there also may be cases where children-inlaw, siblings or close friends can participate.

vide accurate legal and financial advice under the myriad regulations governing long-term care and to liaison your family with the resources needed for care and placement.

Many families, particularly those new to issues related to aging parents, find they need someone able to gently, smoothly guide everyone with necessary information and assist with creation of needed documentation — all while facilitating meetings with an emphasis on the mutual goals of all parties.

While the actual planning of the meeting initially may seem overwhelming, the end goal is to ensure that the aging family member's care and finances will be handled in the most appropriate manner for both short-term and long-term stability. There is no formulaic solution. Each individual and each family has unique personal needs, health care objectives, life care options and financial issues.

All must be addressed together as all are intertwined.

IMPACT FAIRFIELD COUNTY GATHERING

A HOME FOR DOMES A University of Bridgeport senior majoring in computer science is working on a project to create low-cost geodesic domes made from recycled materials that can be used as greenhouses.

Bryan Tavera is a member of the college’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders and has been awarded a $5,000 green technology scholarship from the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering .

“Areas of our Bridgeport community are considered ‘food deserts’ with limited access to nutritious foods,” Tavera said. “Part of my work will be to initiate a project plan and involve community stakeholders who can guide us on how geodesic dome greenhouses can be the most beneficial to

our community.”

Used as greenhouses, the domes would enable virtually any homeowner to grow food throughout the year without the expense of building a traditional greenhouse.

Guided by faculty adviser and biomedical engineering professor Alicia Petryk, two geodesic dome prototypes will be designed and built in the next year.

“Geodesic domes are very efficient and stable structures, less susceptible to deformation and can withstand heavy loads like those created by environmental forces such as snow coverings and wind. They also can be constructed fairly quickly without heavy equipment,” Petryk said.

ST. VINCENT’S EARNS AWARDS St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport has earned five Quality Achievement Awards from the American Heart Association (AHA) for 2017, more than was received by any other hospital in Fairfield County.

Two awards recognized the hospital’s commitment to providing stroke treatment according to the latest guidelines. These were the “Get With The Guidelines–Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award” and the “Target: Stroke Honor Roll.”

The hospital received a “Get With The Guidelines – Heart Failure Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award” for implementing specific measures to help patients with heart failure.

The hospital also received “Mission: Lifeline Silver Receiving” and “Mission: Lifeline NSTEMI Bronze Quality Achievement” awards. These awards recognize quality improvement measures outlined by the AHA for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

“St. Vincent’s is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our heart failure, stroke and heart attack patients, and implementing the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines and Mission: Lifeline programs are helping us accomplish that goal through nationally respected clinical guidelines,” said Vicki Briggs, president and CEO of the medical center.

UNITED WAY COMEDY NIGHT The third annual Brew Ha-Ha Comedy Night in support of Greenwich United Way is set for Oct. 13 at the Arch Street Teen Center, 100 Arch St., Greenwich.

Returning to the stage is comedian and Greenwich native Jane Condon, along with event newcomers Andy Pitz

and Michele Balan. Tickets and underwriting opportunities are available through the website, greenwichunitedway.org or 203-869-2221.

This year's event co-chairs are Kristen Forlini, Nicole Kwasniewski and Clarena McBeth.

STEPPING STONES MUSEUM EARNS ACCREDITATION The Early Language and Literacy Initiative (ELLI) program at the Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk has received accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Rhonda Kiest, president and CEO of the museum, said, “It is an incredible accomplishment to have our program recognized by NAEYC. Now we want to broaden the scope of ELLI to reach even younger children in order to close the achievement gap in Connecticut.”

ELLI is the joint collaboration of Stepping Stones Museum for Chil-

dren, Norwalk Public Schools and Literacy How, an organization dedicated to the application of early literacy research.

There are currently four ELLI classroom sites in Norwalk that have been accredited by NAEYC. In addition to the ELLI Lab School at Stepping Stones Museum for Children, the ELLI classrooms at the Fox Run, Tracey and Naramake elementary schools in Norwalk earned the accreditation. Less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.

Impact Fairfield County is hosting a gettogether on Oct. 18 at the Granola Bar in Greenwich from 7 to 9 p.m.

Among those scheduled to be on hand are the leaders of the organizations that received Impact Fairfield County’s two previous $100,000 Impact Grants: Jason Shaplen, CEO of Inspirica, and Quentin Ball, newly appointed executive director of The Center for Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling and Education (CSACCE).

Shaplen is expected to provide an update on the progress of the early childhood and parenting program, which was funded by the Impact grant.

Ball succeeded Ivonne Zucco as executive director of CSACCE. He’ll discuss how the Impact Grant will affect the implementation of the Fairfield Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (SAFE) Program.

Impact Fairfield County engages women in Fairfield County in local philanthropy to reach the underserved and improve lives. Each member contributes $1,000 that is pooled to provide $100,000 grants to local nonprofits.

PENDLETON NAMED CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER William Pitt and Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty in Stamford has announced that Lance Pendleton will assume the newly created role of chief innovation officer. Pendleton has been the company’s vice president of sales development and education.

As CIO, Pendleton will lead the company’s efforts to develop the next generation of technological tools. He recently helped launch a centralized system for generating and handling leads and client relationships, known as “Client Connect.”

Pendleton said, “I look forward to helping create more revolutionary programs and services, and developing exemplary agents who are committed to keeping their attention on what our clients expect of a real estate professional.”

HAPPENING The Fairfield Harvest Market is on the Old Town Hall Green.

There will be a Dog Costume Parade.

HARVEST MARKET HOWL If anyone tells you that the annual fall Harvest Market sponsored by the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce is “going to the dogs,” they’re not being critical of the event: they’re just providing a factual description of one feature which people really enjoy.

The Harvest Market takes place on Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine, on the Old Town Hall Green (corner of Old Post and Beach roads) in Fairfield. At 11 a.m., the Dog Costume Parade begins. That’s right, dogs in costumes.

The first 25 dogs to line up will receive a free Fairfield Chamber of

Commerce dog bandana. Only eventempered dogs that get along with others will be allowed to participate.

The pooches are invited to dress up and be on their best behavior, as they prance along the parade route with their owners and families. Prizes, gift cards supplied by Natural Pet Outlet, will be awarded for the most creative costumes.

There will be a lot more going on during the event, which is free and open to humans as well. More than 40 clothiers, jewelers, artisans and others will have their latest merchandise on display.

Vendors from Fairfield’s Farmers Market also will be on hand. The Farmers Market ended for the season on Oct. 1, but many of the regular vendors will be at the Harvest Market. Food trucks will offer a variety of items for lunch or snacking.

Susan Cronin of the Fairfield Canine Cooperative and Michelle Hennessey with William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty will be on hand to present “A New Home For Everyone,” offering homeless dogs for adoption accompanied by listings of homes for sale in Fairfield.

LOCKWOOD MATHEWS RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD Norwalk’s Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum has received the “Leadership in History Award of Merit” from the American Association of State and Local History. Museum Executive Director Susan Gilgore, traveled to Austin, Texas, to receive the award during a banquet.

The museum was recognized as being among “the best in state and local history” for its exhibit “The Stairs Below: The Mansion’s Domestic Servants, 1868-1938.” It was a museum-wide exhibition and guided tour, with focus on documents, artifacts,

images, costumes, and uniforms – and the mansion plan itself – displayed throughout the period rooms of the building.

While the exhibition officially closed last year, a portion remains open. The project was aimed at launching a cultural dialogue on class, race, ethnicity, politics, labor relations, and social history during a half-century of ascendancy and through the lens of two households.

More information on schedules and programs at LMMM is at lockwoodmathewsmansion.com.
