Gotta sing?

Samantha Cole adds show biz oomph to voice coaching

amantha Cole is no stranger to the music industry spotlight. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, her songs including “Happy with You,” “Without You,” “You Light Up My Life” and “Luv Me Luv Me” (with reggae star Shaggy) charted in the U.S., U.K. and Asian markets and were in constant rotation at dance clubs around the world. Ten years ago, she stepped back from the music world and relocated to Danbury to focus on raising her family. However, her presence in the community did not go unnoticed, and she began to receive inquiries from strangers asking if she could provide their children

with singing lessons.

Cole was initially skeptical that she could transition from being at the microphone to teaching others to sing. In 2011, she ran an advertisement in a local Pennysaver offering her voice-coaching services and culled a few students, including a man in his 50s who is still taking lessons from her.

“As soon as I started, I felt like I was happy,” she recalled. “It was like, ‘Wow, I love it — and it’s not work, because it’s like giving back.’ ” Cole runs her Celebrity Voice Coach service from a studio in her Danbury home, where she averages between 30 and 40 students.

he market and the world have changed, and become more and more global. It was time for a change for us, too.”

So said Cory Gubner, founder, president and CEO of Stamford commercial real estate firm RHYS, who sent shock waves through Fairfield County’s real estate sector when he announced that he and most of his team were joining Newmark Knight Frank in that multinational firm’s Stamford office.

As what Gubner called “one of the last large boutique commercial real estate companies in the county,” RHYS — Gubner’s middle name — “set out on a path I felt was the right thing to do at the time,” by offering a more independent, hands-on approach to real estate services, he said. “But with the consolidation that’s happening in the commercial real estate industry, I started getting calls from people who asked if I was interested in joining them.”

Declining to name those other suitors, Gubner said NKF ultimately won out by offering “the best opportunity for us, our clients, the business we’ve been doing and our growth.

This offers our clients a truly global footprint — it’s a win/win for our clients and for us.” » RHYS

Brookfield mother turns entrepreneur as lice removal expert

t is safe to assume that few people aspire to careers in lice removal. Renee Bento is no exception — in fact, the stayat-home Brookfield mother never gave much thought to the subject until her youngest child developed a headful of lice.

But when trying to find the right treatment for her daughter’s lice infestation, Bento was overwhelmed with a surplus of incorrect strategies. “There was a lot of misinformation and a lot of failing products, so I found a way to do it better,” she recalled. “I thought it was a good idea to share that knowledge and teach others how to do it as well.”

Bento, who earlier worked in medical billing before becoming a full-time, stay-at-home parent, studied lice eradication with Dale Longworth. a professional lice technician in Dobbs Ferry, New York, — this line of work does not require special educational licensing — and in 2012 she opened All Natural Lice Removal Studio, converting the basement of her home into a mini-clinic devoted to the removal of this unwanted hairborne intruder.

“Lice is a human parasite,” Bento explained. “A louse can live up to 32 days and they can lay about 10 eggs a day. It doesn’t go on anything else. It is the second-most communicable ailment among children — the first is the common cold. No one wants to talk about it and there is a stigma, but we’re trying to get rid of it.”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that between 6 million and 12 million lice infestations occur annually among children 3 to 11 years of age. But Bento noted that today’s lice have set their sights on a more mature victim.

“It used to be just a kid’s thing, but it is now becoming more prevalent on teenagers and adults,” she stated.

Bento added that many people are not aware they have lice until weeks after the initial infestation.

“Seventy percent of people with head lice don’t even itch — it’s not a telltale sign,” she said. “The weird thing about lice is that it doesn’t go away on its own. You have to eradicate it.”

So, how does Bento remove the lice from her clients? “We physical-

ly remove it by combing it out,” she said, pointing out her examination stations with oversized magnifying glasses and special haircare instruments. “That’s the best way to remove it. Products sold with chemicals have been overused and the lice have grown a resistance to it. I then teach my clients how to do this, what products and instruments to use, how to check and what to look for.”

Bento also informs her clients about the myths related to lice eradication. “Washing machines don’t kill lice, but 30 minutes in the drier kills lice,” she stated. “And you do not have to throw out pillows or hairbrushes.”

When Bento began All Natural Lice Removal Studio, she alerted local pediatricians to her service.

This offered an initial wave of referrals, and she now gains recommendations from local school nurses and the state’s Department of Child and Family Services. She also opted to focus solely on head lice and not work on removing body lice, add-

ing with a laugh that “head lice are more than enough.”

Client volume varies by season — she noted the winter tends to be slower while the period where the end of summer transitions into the start of a school semester is usually the busiest time; an assistant clinician is available to provide an extra set of hands if her client flow becomes heavy.

Bento charges $89.99 per hour for her service, with hours by appointment on all seven days of the week. And while she is not a medical professional, her service can be covered by Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts, as well as some health insurance providers, and she added that the removal treatment can also be deductible on a personal income tax return.

As for the future, Bento has no plans for widening her business.

“Right now, I am very happy with what I’m doing and I’m very busy,” she said. “I don’t know if I want to do an expansion or franchise. I’m not thinking along those lines — yet.”

Stamford, Greenwich women launch Starling Skincare, healthy alternative to chemical-based products

onsumers can sometimes be in for a nasty surprise when it comes to skincare as products meant to promote a healthy appearance can be filled with toxin-laden preservatives, while others can cause a severe reaction for those with allergic or sensitive skin.

Two Fairfield County women have launched a product line with a difference. Starling Skincare is aimed specifically at those with allergic and sensitive skin who are looking for healthier and cleaner skincare options.

“I have a nut allergy, I’m gluten-free and about seven years ago I found myself with a severe case of contact dermatitis,” said co-founder Lisa Larson-Murphy. “It was mortifying. I looked like I had third-degree burns on my face.”

Unable to find an alternative over-the-counter product in the marketplace, Larson-Murphy began researching skincare — which she said was an eye-opening experience: “The more you look at some of the ingredients, the more you realize what a crazy world it is,” she said.

Along the way she mentioned her idea about building a better skincare line to Nathalie Yavonditte, whom

she met several years before when they both worked in footwear development and sales at Victoria’s Secret.

Though not suffering from allergies like Larson-Murphy, Yavonditte said she has a number of skin sensitivities and can be prone to certain chemical irritants.

Signing on as co-founder, Yavonditte began working with Larson-Murphy to develop a long-lasting lip balm “that really hasn’t changed since day one,” according to Larson-Murphy.

Having spent about two years developing their product line, “We did a lot of testing on ourselves and our extended families,” Yavonditte laughed. The pair officially launched Starling Skincare on Nov. 29 as an online-only venture, at least so far.

Starling’s skincare products are free from nuts, gluten, soy, dairy, fragrance, shea butter, dyes, sulfates, propylene glycol, BPAs (an industrial chemical used to make certain plastics and resins) and many other irritants.

While limited to balms and deodorants, the pair plans to add more products, which are created in “production studios” in Larson-Murphy’s Stamford and Yavonditte’s Greenwich homes, in the new year, including a vegan line.

The Starling duo will also work with customers with complicated allergy needs to create customized versions

of their products. “We don’t actually create the product until we receive the order,” Larson-Murphy noted, adding that turnaround time is usually one to two business days.

Offering products in small batches ensures each item is the freshest it can be, she continued. “We really want to be able to manage the quality of what we’re doing as closely as we can.”

Sales have been surprisingly good. “We were really excited when we saw we were getting customers who weren’t just family or friends,” Yavonditte laughed.

The pair hired a publicist and advertises on such platforms as Facebook.

While the direct-to-consumer model is currently a centerpiece of Starling’s business model, LarsonMurphy said they’d like to form “one or two really strong retail partnerships and call it a day.” The idea, she said, is not to become a massive company: “That way you spend your entire day writing invoices and tracking shipments, which can be a challenging and ultimately inefficient way to build your business.”

Larson-Murphy also was quick to note that Starling isn’t limiting itself when it comes to customers. “We’re targeting people with allergies,” she said, “but we want to appeal to anyone who’s looking for cleaner products.”

Suite Talk

D

an Onofrio’s 14th floor office at the Bridgeport Regional Business Council (BRBC) provides a to-die-for panoramic view that sweeps across the shoreline area.

Onofrio began as president and CEO of the BRBC in November after an 11-year stint as executive vice president of operations and general manager of business systems operations at Environmental Data Resources. He is also a franchise partner in three Rita’s Ice franchises in Connecticut and was the co-founder of the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Young Emerging Professionals business networking group.

Business Journal reporter Phil Hall visited with Onofrio at his office to discuss his first month at the BRBC and his plans for the organization into the coming year.

What attracted you to taking on the leadership role at the BRBC? “I’m coming from the corporate space. I have always been active in the communities I’ve lived in and worked in, which happens to be the lower Naugatuck River Valley in Shelton. When the company I was working for was sold earlier this year, I was decompressing and reevaluating what I would do next. I really wanted to take the opportunity to see what existed in the community space and the public sector, and I was fortunate enough that the timing worked out with Mickey Herbert [the previous president and CEO] retiring in October. The greater Bridgeport region has so much opportunity and I see so much potential to be part of the good things that are ahead of us.”

What do you see as the challenges and the opportunities facing the region in 2019?

“I’ll start off with the challenges. There is a percep-

Dan Onofrio, president and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council the state government?

“I don’t know a lot about Ned Lamont, to be honest with you. But our state needs change and it’s not going to be an easy battle. In order to attract new businesses here, we have to be able to talk that talk and remove the barriers of doing business. Having that experience is a valuable asset, so he needs to leverage that experience. Will he be successful at it? I hope he is, and we’re going to do our part to make him successful.”

tion that it is difficult to do business in Connecticut, so I think that we — not just as a region but as a state — need to change the perception of what Connecticut is and what we have to offer.

“That leads right into the opportunities. If you look out this window, we are at the nexus of all transportation, with the port, highway and rail system, we need to take advantage of those opportunities and have businesses realize the resources we have here. And not just the infrastructure. We have the University of Bridgeport, Housatonic Community College, Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University here, and their students are our future, so we need to create pathways for them to stay here. I see the opportunities for the next generation to plant their roots here. To do that, we need to build bridges between the business community and the public sector and figure out a way to attract new business.”

Speaking of the view from your window, you could also see Sikorsky Airport. Do you think it is realistic to expand the airport in order to attract a new era of commercial flights?

“I think it is realistic. I don’t think the opportunity exists for a huge international airport, but certainly there is

FCBJ

a need in this part of the state to have more opportunities for flights. And not just on the business side, but for commercial transport. I think we have some hurdles, but it is a resource we need to take advantage of.”

On the way over to your office in downtown Bridgeport, it was difficult not to notice a number of empty retail stores. What can the BRBC do to encourage new retailers and support the existing stores?

“For the Small Business Saturday shopping event that takes place right after Thanksgiving, we put up some simple social media pages to get the small-business community together and get their message out into the wider community. We were only able to launch that a week and a half before the day, but a number of businesses I visited were so grateful and thankful for doing it on their behalf.

“One of my top priorities is to get engaged with the small-business community as well as the large corporations, and to work with the universities to see how we can create that ecosystem to create a sustainable downtown.”

During the recent election, the question of tolls was a contentious issue.

Where does the BRBC stand on that?

“Obviously, we need to figure out as a state how to create more revenues. Is tolls the answer? I don’t know.

What I will say is that we will get behind what our business community has to say and will go from there as we engage the wider community.”

Another sticky subject in the past election was tax increases. Will the BRBC be in Hartford for the next General Assembly session to lobby on that issue?

“Again, we have to stand behind what our constituents believe in, and it is our job to get all the people at the table to see where is the compromise. Obviously, there isn’t a silver bullet here. We have to cut spending and generate new sources of revenue.

“The new legislative session is going to start in January, and we’d like to go up there with a specific agenda. What those items will be is now being discussed, but I intend on engaging the business community. Additionally, our local and state representatives need to come together as well, so they can hear from the community about what’s important to them.”

Ned Lamont campaigned for governor on his experience as a businessman. Do you believe that he can bring a private sector approach to running

Your predecessor at the helm of the BRBC, Mickey Herbert, was very enthusiastic about the proposed MGM Bridgeport project. Do you share his enthusiasm?

“I do. We need a shot in the arm and MGM is more than a shot in the arm. Not only does it bring jobs, but it brings activity to Bridgeport. People will come to Bridgeport as a destination. I look at the Webster Bank Arena and when they have events there, we see the overflow in the downtown to visit our restaurants and our shops. That is a positive thing for Bridgeport and I think it will spark a lot of other development projects.”

Mayor Joe Ganim of Bridgeport teamed with Mayor Toni Harp of New Haven in a two-city proposal to attract Amazon’s second headquarters to the region, and the two mayors also teamed up with the MGM Bridgeport project.

Do you see yourself working with your New Haven counterpart on future projects?

“Garrett F. Sheehan, the CEO of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, is also relatively new in his role. We’ve talked a few times on the phone and we intend on collaborating.

We share the shoreline and we would be foolish not to partner and collaborate on potential opportunities.

I would go further and say the metro cities of Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury and Stamford would be foolish not to collaborate more for the state of Connecticut.

Who else but us, the representatives of the business community, can help but be the cheerleaders and rally change for the state?”

Looking out your window again, I am reminded that this part of the state was once a stronghold of manufacturing — but there is very little evidence of that today. Is it realistic to think manufacturing can return to the region?

“Manufacturing is not dead, it’s changed. We need to embrace the new technology and continually evolve.

We need to identify the needs that exist and promote those opportunities in the region.

We need to be leveraging the universities, because they know the technologies that are cutting edge, and partner their programs with businesses that maybe don’t have the funding to invest in R&D and see if we can create a public-private relationship to help smaller businesses develop the products.”

What is your 2019 forecast for the regional and national economy?

“Looking at the opportunities in Bridgeport, I see a really good future. Whether we realize it in 2019 is another thing. If policy in Hartford can change, we will see a domino effect of activity in Connecticut that will boost the economy. But it’s not a silver bullet — there are a multitude of things that need to happen.

Nationally, people are feeling good, and there is a cautious optimism that things will continue. But you don’t know what the markets are going to do. So, ride the wave as long as you can, I suppose.”

Connecticut reviewing proposals to improve prescription drug costs for municipal workers

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

C

onnecticut State Comptroller Kevin Lembo has announced the conclusion of a request for proposals for a new state pharmacy benefits agreement that seeks to change the paradigm of how pharmacy benefits are managed and to establish the most innovative and transparent pharmacy benefits contract in the nation.

Lembo administers health care and prescription benefits on behalf of more than 200,000 public employees, retirees and their dependents, including employees from more than 100 municipal groups that should benefit from the savings of this new contract.

“We are putting every bidder on notice that the state of Connecticut is calling the shots on prescription drug costs and quality,” Lembo said. “Taxpayers and patients are ready for a new way of doing business.

“The state of Connecticut will exert its force in the market,” he said, “setting an example for other large employers across the nation, to demand what is right, beginning with details about who is paying who — and requiring that pharmacy benefit managers and drug corporations pass on all cost savings to taxpayers and consumers.”

The state is preparing to simplify and streamline how it pays pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) with a more transparent system of administrative fees per drug. This will replace a system that allows the state’s PBMs to arrange for what Lembo called “hidden wealth” exchanges with drug manufacturers that only benefit the PBM. Those once-hidden manufacturer payments and price spreads must now be disclosed and entirely passed on to the state.

Lembo said the pending RFP demands that bidders prepare for a new era of transparency, pricing and scrutiny, including the following: Transparency: The entirety of all drug manufacturer payments to the PBM related to the state will be passed on to the state, and the state will fully know and only pay the amount that the PBM paid each pharmacy for the cost of filling prescriptions with no added so-called “spread pricing,” the practice by PBMs of charging plans more than what they paid. And the amount paid for drugs will be based on the lowest price list, or “Maximum Allowable Cost,” preventing PBMs from subsidizing their spread pricing contracts by making the state plan pay more to network pharmacies than the PBM pays to those same pharmacies when it is allowed to pocket the difference.

Bidders will also provide frequent data feeds to disclose all net costs, post manufacturer rebate, so that the state has full information as to actual costs of medication, and these requirements will be subject to audits to verify compliance.

New pricing models: Drug costs guaranteed by the PBM should now be based

on a per-patient, or per-unit, basis, rather than a discount off of the average wholesale price (AWP). Currently, PBMs benefit from ever-increasing AWPs as it makes it easier for them to meet their pricing guarantees while maximizing the amount of revenue they retain. Lembo maintains that the guaranteed discount off of the AWP model doesn’t always favor the lowest cost therapeutically equivalent drugs; rather, it favors the drugs that the PBM can achieve the greatest discount off of AWP. Moving to pricing guarantees on a per-patient or per-unit basis better aligns the PBMs’ incentives with that of the plan and patients by incentivizng the PBM to prefer the highest value drugs, rather than those that help the PBM maximize revenue, Lembo said. Bidders must also commit to annual “market checks” to ensure that the state plan is getting the best market pricing.

New auditing authority: The state will require expanded audit authority to ensure PBMs are complying with new transparency and price guarantee models.

New rebate policy, prescription amounts and incentives for low-cost generics: Drug rebates, where applicable, will be immediately provided to consumers at the pharmacy counter. The state will also require the PBM to offer a reduced generic copay to participants if a lower-cost therapeutically equivalent alternative is available. Lembo said this new requirement will block PBMs from the practice of offering lower copays for more expensive drugs over generics.

The state will also put an end to prescription drug waste by limiting first-time prescriptions to 30-day fills, as analysis has found that 30 percent of 90-day first-time fills were never refilled, indicating medication waste.

New data sharing with doctors, nurses

and other prescribers: The state will require its new PBM to provide new tools embedded into prescribers’ electronic medical records systems that allow prescribers to see the actual cost of the medications they are prescribing, alongside therapeutically equivalent alternatives, so the prescriber will have the information they need to make an informed choice when otherwise interchangeable drugs are available, thus reducing the cost of care. Once established the comptroller’s office will advocate expansion to other health plans including Medicaid and other private payers, creating a powerful new tool to drive down net pharmacy drug costs.

Interested bidders were required to submit their intention to bid by Nov. 30. Lembo, his staff and members of the state’s Health Care Cost Containment Committee are now reviewing the proposals. A contractor will be selected at the end of February 2019.

consuming as her business grew. Her classes take place in the evenings and she often hosts weekend classes to accommodate students traveling from as far away as Mystic and Long Island.

“Seventy-five percent or 80 percent of my students travel an hour to me,” she said. “If you asked me how many Danbury students I have, I’d say that I probably have one. There is a bit of disconnect.”

Cole’s student body ranges from young performers dreaming of taking home an armful of Grammy Awards to nonprofessionals that developed a late-life urge to unleash their inner Ethel Merman.

“I have ladies in their 60s that do this as part of their bucket list, because it’s something they wanted to do,” she continued. “I have band members who play guitar, but now they have to sing lead and they need some help. I have rappers who just want to learn to sing so they can rap better.

I have Spanish singers. I’ve had a guy from Pakistan who sings in his language. I can pretty much do all ages, all styles and all levels.”

However, Cole prefers

thy response thanks to hard work. “I had one guy from Norwalk who played guitar, and every week for six months we did a lot of ear training. Within two months, he was singing the songs in the right key. So, he was serious about it — he was going home and doing his homework.”

Cole charges her students $65 for a 45-minute session and $75 for an hour.

The fee on the latter is rising to $85 per hour in January.

She is also offering a new package to help students interested in songwriting.

As for the Celebrity Voice Coach students, Cole stages two events each year — one at the Ridgefield Playhouse and the other at The Bitter End in Manhattan — where her students put on a full-throttle vocal showcase of what they learned. She also hosts a more intimate monthly acoustic show with her students at Empire Szechuan in Bethel. “This allows the

RHYS —

Joining Gubner, who was named executive managing director at NKF, are RHYS Executive Vice President and Partner Christian Bangert as managing director; RHYS directors Alex Haendler and Sam Chambers and Associate Director Jon Conway, who will retain those titles at NKF, and Thomas Gardner and Amber Hinlicky, who will respectively provide financial analysis and administrative support to the team.

That represents about two-thirds of RHYS’ staff.

Gubner would not discuss why the others did not join NKF as well, but said that moving en masse to a new firm was a non-negotiable aspect of any move.

“This team has been with me for a long time,” he said.

Bangert was one of the founding members of RHYS in 2009 “and I was not going to sepa-

not to teach operatic singing — she recommended coaches that work exclusively on that art form.

According to Cole, the most common mistake that new students make is their eagerness to burst into song.

“They just sing,” she observed. “They don’t really think about what they’re doing and they just kind of go through the motions. When they start learning about breathing and posture, their reaction is, ‘Wow, that’s a lot of work — it’s a lot harder than I thought.’ That is especially true from musicians that play and sing for fun.”

Cole also warned that many students don’t realize that they need to keep up their vocal exercises in-between coaching sessions. “If you don’t practice at home, it will be harder to succeed,” she said. “If you just come to me without practicing, it’s like you’re doing the same lesson again every week.”

Cole admitted that on rare occasions, she encounters students whose enthusiasm far outruns their talent.

“I’ve only had maybe three people come to me in seven years where I was like, ‘Oh, God!’ ” she laughed, although she preferred to focus on students who achieve applause-wor-

students to get over fear and build confidence,” she stated.

For students who excelled beyond expectations, Cole has arranged for them to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America” prior to sports events, and she has also coordinated private auditions with producers at the NBC series “The Voice.”

“But they have to be ready and they have to put the time into it,” she insisted.

“I just don’t hand that out unless I feel they are working towards it.”

For those seeking out a voice coach for themselves or their children, Cole advised that the coach’s background be double checked — especially in a key area.

Although the move to NKF — founded in 1929 and headquartered in New York City, with offices throughout the U.S. and around the globe — was discussed for a number of weeks, its suddenness was reflected by the fact that the RHYS website was still operational as of Dec. 10, listing Gubner and the aforementioned new NKF employees as still with RHYS. “That won’t be the case for much longer,” Gubner laughed.

Asked if any RHYS clients had balked at the fact that the Realtors they thought they’d signed on with are now part of a much bigger concern, Gubner said the opposite was the case. “The reception has been beyond excellent,” he said. “Our clients are very excited. This represents a better opportunity for them

— they’ll still be getting all the expertise we offer, but on a much bigger platform and level.”

RHYS was Gubner’s third entrepreneurial venture. He spent 10 years at Pyramid Real Estate, rising to full partner in 1995, before leaving in 1998 to form Chase Commerical, which he merged with GVA Williams in 2002 and sold to FirstService Corp. in 2008. Nevertheless, he said, he had no hesitations about giving up the reins as boss to become a team member at NKF. “We’re all still brokers serving our clients’ real estate needs,” he said. “I felt that Newmark is a very entrepreneurial-feeling company that happens to be really big.

This is really a collaboration — my team and I came in as RHYS and have merged into Newmark seamlessly.

And both firms are about the same thing: Client first.”

Public access outweighs privacy in Brookfield man’s case against The Tuxedo Club

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

P

ublic access to court documents involving The Tuxedo Club and a fired general manager outweighs the possible harm the records could have on the ex-employee looking for a job, a federal judge has ruled.

Martin A. Badinelli of Brookfield, sued The Tuxedo Club in 2015, claiming that the Orange County country club wrongfully fired him. Last month, he asked federal court in White Plains, New York, to seal records in the lawsuit he filed against the club, to protect his privacy, reputation and earnings potential.

“Protection against the possibility of future adverse impact on employment,” U.S. District Judge Vincent L. Briccetti said in a Dec. 6 opinion, “does not overcome the presumption of public access.”

The Tuxedo Club hired Badinelli as general manager in 2009.

But after Badinelli questioned the club’s liquor practices, he claimed in his 2015 lawsuit, he was fired. He alleged, for instance, that the club routinely served liquor to nonmembers at weddings it hosted, even though it did not have a catering license or a liquor license to sell to nonmembers.

Badinelli sued The Tuxedo Club for $750,000, alleging retaliation, age discrimination and breach of contract.

Briccetti ordered the parties to arbitrate the dispute. In April, they notified him that the dispute had been settled. The federal case was closed.

Last month, Badinelli asked the court to seal the case records. Any potential employer, his lawyer, William D. Frumkin, wrote, would check on him with an internet search and find the records.

“The existence of this litigation appears frequently” in internet search results, according to the motion to seal, “including as the very first search result in a Google search.”

“I have encountered a significant lack of response that can only be explained by potential employers learning of my litigation,” Badinelli declared in a separate filing.

“My reputation and earning potential have been severely damaged by the record of this litigation on the internet.”

His lawyer also argued that the presumption of public access to court documents is strongest when the documents play a sub-

stantial role in determining the litigant’s substantial rights.

Here, Frumkin said, the federal court records are minimal because the dispute was handled mostly in private arbitration.

Badinelli and The Tuxedo Club also agreed to keep the arbitration documents confidential, and the club has not opposed the motion to seal the federal records.

Briccetti noted that there is a presumption of immediate public access to judicial documents, under common law and the First

Amendment, but courts may consider competing factors such as privacy or the danger of impairing law enforcement.

But Badinelli chose federal court, Briccetti said. He should have considered the possibility of future impact when he filed the case, and since he had an arbitration agreement with the club he could have bypassed the court and taken the case directly to arbitration.

The motion to seal, he said, “is largely based on a desire to remove information

from the internet.”

But the fact that Briccetti compelled arbitration is already a matter of public record that appears on the court docket, internet search engine results and in published law reports. It would be pointless, he said, to seal the records.

Badinelli argues that his interests in privacy, reputation and earning capacity outweigh the interest of public access to the court records, Briccetti summarized.

“The court,” he ruled, “is not persuaded.”

Pentegra hits 75: retirement savings strategies may change, but client care remains top priority

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

o say that strategies for saving for retirement have changed over the past 75 years would be a major understatement.

But it’s a challenge that Pentegra, the provider of retirement plan, fiduciary outsourcing and institutional investment solutions, has been able to meet since its birth in 1943.

“One thing that’s remained constant is the way we cater to our client base,” said John Pinto, CEO and president of the company since 2013. “We’ve always been able to provide innovative products and change with the marketplace to meet the needs of different types of clients.”

In 1943, employees in the U.S. could rely on their company pension to see them through their golden years, usually augmented by the Social Security program, then just eight years old.

Today, of course, the picture is very different.

The employer-funded pension or defined benefit plan has gone by the wayside in most industries, with a shift toward the defined contribution plan like the 401(k), where the employee is largely responsible for building his or her nest egg (augmented in many cases by the employer, which can provide “matching” funds depending on varying formulae and situations).

Navigating those and other changes successfully has been key to the success of Pentegra, whose corporate headquarters is in White Plains, New York, with another office in Shelton. “We have evolved tremendously,” affirmed First Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Robert Alin, who, having joined Pentegra in 1986, is its longest-serving employee.

“When I started here we essentially had just two products — a multiple employer defined benefit pension program (MEP) and a tax-ex-

empt trustee savings plan for employees of financial institutions and organizations,” Alin continued. “We were only allowed to work with financial institutions then because of Department of Labor regulations.”

The privately owned firm — which started life with the pithy name Retirement Fund of the Federal Home Loan Bank System — was founded by that system in 1943 to administer a defined benefit pension trust, the Savings Associations Retirement Fund, for its employees. It took the name Pentegra — a combination of “pensions” and “integrity” — in 1993.

The change came about after a concerted effort “that took a couple years to get off the ground” to receive IRS approval to grow its product line to include single employer retirement plans, Alin said. It also received permission to expand the marketing of its programs and services beyond the financial community to businesses across different industries and sectors on a

national basis.

“We had a contest” to come up with the new moniker, Alin said. “Originally we thought it would be called ‘Integra,’ but there was an automobile that was popular at the time with that name, so we didn’t want to have to deal with that confusion.” (The Honda Integra was introduced to the U.S. in the mid-1980s, but was discontinued in 2006.)

Assets under management (AUM), which had topped $500 million by the end of the 1970s, reached over $2 billion by the end of the ‘90s. With the new millennium, Pentegra grew further with some key acquisitions, including subsidiaries of Retirement System Group Inc.; full-service, third-party retirement plan administration and recordkeeping firm Alliance Benefit GroupCarolinas; and Advanced Pension Solutions Inc., a full-service, third-party retirement plan administration firm based in Ohio.

Those moves, Pinto said, have helped Pentegra diver-

I tell everybody I meet, no matter what business they’re in, to save early and save often for their retirement, and they should try to increase their contribution (to a retirement fund) by 1 percent a year, every single year.

It doesn’t impact your paycheck that much and it obviously can add up over time.

sify both geographically and in terms of the products and services it offers.

The firm now has over $13 billion in AUM, nearly double its $7.5 billion in AUM at the end of the last decade, he said. “We’ve expanded our product line significantly, and we’ve built the fiduciary expertise that helps give us a competitive advantage.”

The company claims a 98 percent client retention rate, as well as over 100 clients who have been with it for at least 30 years.

Pentegra further bills itself as one of the largest and most experienced MEP providers in the country.

Those tax-qualified retirement plans, wherein two or more unrelated employers participate, can be particularly attractive to small businesses that are otherwise unlikely to provide retirement benefits in the face of expensive startup costs and burdensome administrative responsibilities.

Pinto said that one thing that has unfortunately not

FCBJ

changed is Americans’ failure to save enough for retirement. A report earlier this year by the Harvard Business Review found that, among Americans aged 40 to 45, “the median retirement account balance is $14,500 — less than 4 percent of what the median-income worker will require in savings to meet his retirement needs.”

And the Social Security safety net that many assume will see them through their retirement — never intended to fund all of one’s golden years in the first place — has also been widely reported to be in danger.

For the first time since 1982, Social Security’s total costs are expected to exceed its income this year. The latest annual report by Social Security’s trustees estimates that, if no changes are made, the system will be paying most but not all promised benefits by 2034, when it essentially will run out of money.

“I tell everybody I meet, no matter what business they’re in, to save early and save often” for their retirement, Pinto said. “And they should try to increase their contribution (to a retirement fund) by 1 percent a year, every single year. It doesn’t impact your paycheck that much and it obviously can add up over time.”

Taking full advantage of an employer’s 401(k) matching funds — or, if there is no employer plan, investing in alternative vehicles like IRAs or Roth IRAs — is also of paramount importance, Pinto added. “Retirement comes a lot more quickly than most people think,” he said.

As for shepherding Pentegra to its 100th anniversary and beyond, Pinto said the mantra will remain the same: Putting — and servicing — the client’s needs first.

“That’s one thing that definitely hasn’t changed,” he said. “Any of our clients can pick up the phone and talk to me or any of our senior team members. It’s a practice that’s embedded in our heritage.”

‘Gridlock Sam’ says driverless cars could impact sprawl

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

D

riverless cars, known by the more scientific-sounding name autonomous vehicles, may change the shape of suburban development, according to Sam Schwartz, aka “Gridlock Sam” and a former New York City traffic commissioner.

Schwartz, who also is known as “Gridlock Sam” by virtue of his column with that title appearing in the New York Daily News, was the luncheon keynote speaker Dec. 6 when Pace University’s Land Use Center presented its 17th Annual Alfred B. DelBello Land Use and Sustainable Development Conference.

Schwartz addressed about 250 developers, consultants, local leaders, attorneys and other professionals gathered at the Pace campus in White Plains,

New York. His firm, Sam Schwartz Transportation Consulting, specializes in transportation planning and engineering. Schwartz owns a house in Somers and is quite familiar with suburban driving, commuting patterns and traffic jams.

His new book, “No One at the Wheel: Driverless Cars and the Road of the Future,” looks at the inevitability of autonomous vehicles, the problems they may cause and the benefits they might provide.

In an interview with the Business Journal, Schwartz said, “Imagine someone from Westchester who works in Manhattan. The autonomous vehicle takes that person there. That person is at work at 9 o’clock and tells the autonomous vehicle ‘you know it costs $80 to park here for the day, why don’t you just drive back home to Westchester and wait until I tell you that

I’m ready to leave.’ ” In addition to doubling the number of miles traveled on the area’s roads as a result of cars making one leg of a round trip empty, Schwartz suggests driverless cars may encourage people to live farther away from urban centers.

“Suddenly the car becomes much more comfortable and you can get lots of things done, even sleep done in your car.”

Schwartz was only half joking when he said that we’ve got to watch out for empty “zombie cars” taking over. “The traffic could very well get much worse because there will be more vehicle miles traveled, more cars on the road than ever before.”

The current interest among developers and municipalities in transit-oriented developments may help keep cars off the roads, Schwartz suggested. “Building town centers

FCBJ

where you can walk and you have greater accessibility to local stores, that’s terrific, but there is going to be a tension out there if we rely on the autonomous vehicle to drive us further and further out and encourage sprawl.”

He said there is a definite positive trend taking shape right now regarding traffic levels. “Younger people, millennials, are driving far less than previous generations. There’s a 20 percent drop in the amount of driving that millennials do compared to any other generation that came of age,” he told the Business Journal.

Getting to the train station is an area where Schwartz believes autonomous vehicles could have a big impact on life in the suburbs. They could “…take you that last mile or two or five miles to a train station to drop you off and pick you up when you come back.”

Connecticut and New York ranked among worst states for drivers

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

D

rivers in Connecticut and New York who feel somewhat uncomfortable on the local roads are not being paranoid.

According to Bankrate’s 2018 Best States for Drivers Study, the two states ranked among the worst for drivers.

In measuring driver safety, Bankrate used seven metrics related to cost, safety and driving quality including commute time information, traffic fatality data, road condition reports and gas prices. California ranked as the worst state for drivers, followed by Hawaii. Connecticut ranked third and New York ranked ninth. At the other end of the spectrum, North Dakota was named the best state for drivers.

“Owning a vehicle impacts budgets differently depending on where a person lives,” said Adrian Garcia, data reporter for Bankrate.

“Long waits and poorly maintained roads cost drivers more time and money in addition to the expenses they already incur from regular maintenance of their vehicles, experts say.”

Use it to your advantage. Take into account things like commuting time, getting kids to school, taking care of family members outside work, personal commitments and pursuits, etc.

Decide on basic policies such as time off for lunch — is it an hour or less? Same for breaks in the morning and afternoon — 15 minutes each?

are putting in a full day of work each day.

After 30 days ask new hires to select a work block that they plan to stick with.

Some employees may find it hard to work a full 40 hours, while others may want to work more than 40 hours in order to pick up overtime. Check on rules regarding eligibility for health insurance — most policies require a minimum number of hours be worked each week. Verify that employees working under the minimum are OK not having access to health insurance.

For employees who want to work more than 40 hours in order to increase their pay, decide if they are eligible for overtime or if they should be on a salary that takes into account the increased commitment to working until things are wrapped up for the day. Employees on salary should meet several tests, including: minimum amount of pay; job duties that classify them as exempt including supervising two or more other employees; management responsibility; input into hiring/firing/promotions and assignments of others; control over their workflow; and determining quality and quantity of work to be produced.

Check with your labor attorney on FLSA requirements.

Talk with employees about how you arrived at work rules. In general the more open you can be about the process, the better the acceptance. Instead of hiding why you’re allowing one employee a different set of hours, explain why and be willing to offer similar accommodations to others if they ask. Consistent standards will go a long way to keeping the peace.

If there are issues of needing to arrive early or work late to get work out, ask the team to solve the problem. They can rotate early or late hours, allow some members of the team to come in earlier/later and leave earlier/later. Some team members may be more able to work longer hours than others. Giving the team the flexibility and responsibility to work it out keeps you out of the headlights of being the bad guy when there’s a question about how someone arrived at their work hours.

Good Things Happening LAW FIRM FIGHTS HUNGER, PARTNERS WITH CONNECTICUT FOOD BANK

RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EPTAC

Nearly half-a-million Connecticut residents struggle with hunger and more than 127,000 children are food insecure. These are people from all walks of life — working parents, seniors or people living with disabilities. Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers is hosting a food drive for the nonprofit Connecticut Food Bank at each of its five locations from now through Dec. 18.

“Our practice is dedicated to helping people and we want to do our part to ensure no one goes hungry, especially at the holidays,” said Jonathan Perkins. “These are our neighbors and they deserve our support.”

The Connecticut Food Bank, an affiliate of Feeding America, the nation’s food bank network, works through a network of nearly 700 community food assistance programs to provide nutritious food to people in need in six of Connecticut’s eight counties: Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London and Windham.

Perkins noted the central locations of the firm’s offices make it convenient to drop off a donation of nonperishable food items any time Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The locations are: 30 Lucy St. Woodbridge; Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport; 45 Wyllys St. Hartford; 30 N. Main St., Waterbury; and Hempstead St., New London.

In order to provide proper nutrition, the Connecticut Food Bank suggests healthy food donations, for example: unsweetened canned fruits; dried fruit, such as raisins and prunes, low-sodium canned soups and vegetables; lite salad dressings, vinegar, vegetable, olive or canola oil, dried herbs and spices; and whole grain or whole wheat products.

For more information about making a donation, contact Candace Stanley at cstanley@perkinsandassoc.com.

WESTPORT COUNTRY PLAYHOUSE APPOINTS DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT Resource Development Associates President Rich DuPont stands inside one of RDA’s newly enhanced electronics industry certification training classrooms in the company’s Watertown office.

Rich DuPont, president of Resource Development Associates (RDA) in Watertown, continues the company’s support of internationally recognized EPTAC Corp. and its offerings with the opening of a newly renovated and enhanced certification training facility for the electronics-related industry at RDA’s offices in Watertown.

DuPont is Housatonic Community College director of community and campus in Bridgeport. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Career Resources in Bridge-

port, and is the New Haven Manufactures Association Workforce Enhancement Committee co-chair.

“The EPTAC training programs fit very well within RDA’s workforce development wheelhouse,” said DuPont. “These programs improve the skill sets of employees seeking advancement or employment opportunities within electronics-based industries.” The EPTAC training lab at RDA will support industry-needed skills in IPC certifications, J standard, PCB fundamentals and

design, hand soldering, rework and repair, inspection, assembly and cable and wire harness technology.

EPTAC President Mark Pilkington remarked, “We are excited about the continued efforts of Rich DuPont and his staff.

Rich has relentless support for Connecticut’s industrial landscape and a support for EPTAC, which allows us to help provide the best possible offerings to meet all electronics-related applications and industry demands.”

LOVESAC PROVIDES STYLISH MAKEOVER In celebration of the recent Giving Tuesday, Lovesac — the Stamford-based furniture company — partnered with Eventage and its PROJECT: Kindness initiative to give Martin House, a Norwalk group home for adults with developmental disabilities, a stylish makeover. Lovesac replaced the home’s worn out furniture with brand new Lovesacs and Sactionals.

“Lovesac grew up in Fairfield County, literally beginning in my parents’ basement,” explained Lovesac founder Shawn Nelson.

“We’ve grown into a business we can be proud of, but it’s not without a ton of help along the way. It feels good to be able to give back to those in need in our community.”

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that takes place the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

In honor of its 20th anniversary, Eventage launched “PROJECT: Kindness — 20 Acts to Celebrate 20 Years,” an effort that celebrates and gives back to those who have supported the agency for the past two decades.

As an agency that promotes some of the world’s most beloved brands, and works with

nonprofit partners who consistently amaze with their generous and world-changing work, Eventage is in the unique position to connect these efforts for the greater good of those in need.

Throughout 2018, Eventage is coordinating 20 acts of kindness that connect the company’s family of clients from the past 20 years. The events can be found at https:// eventage.net/project-kindness/.

Katharine L. Mussio has joined Westport Country Playhouse as director of marketing and audience development, leading the historic theater’s marketing, public relations, communications and audience-development efforts for its season productions and programs.

“Katie brings to the playhouse outstanding and diverse marketing credentials,” said Michael Barker, Westport Country Playhouse managing director. “She has substantial experience in media, as well as B2B, B2C and digital marketing, most recently with Time Inc. She has also worked in both commercial and nonprofit theater. We welcome Katie and her dynamic talents to the playhouse team.”

Mussio comes from a 10-year tenure with Time Inc., most recently, as account director of client partnerships at The Foundry, Time Inc.’s creative lab and content studio. Previously, she was a Broadway theatrical agent for Columbia Artists Theatricals, where she booked touring Broadway/ off-Broadway shows into North American venues. As president of Show Property NY, she headed merchandise for the Tony Award-winning musical “Rent,” including product development/purchasing, marketing and sales and distribution. She also was an announcer for “Compact Broadway,” a public radio series pilot about Broadway theater; box office sales and customer service agent at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park; and production assistant at The Public Eye Productions for the film, “The Public Eye,” starring Joe Pesci.

Mussio holds an MBA and Master of Arts degree in arts administration from the University of Cincinnati, earning both degrees on a full, three-year merit scholarship. She completed her undergraduate degree in French language and literature at the University of Michigan, spending her junior year overseas studying at L’Université de Provence. She also participated in Boston University’s journalism/ communications summer internship program in London.

LOCAL ARTISTS HONORED AT KENNEDY CENTER CALENDAR RECEPTION

Chris Barraza

GREENWICH RESIDENT JOINS WHITE PLAINS LAW FIRM Chris Barraza, a Greenwich resident, has joined Denlea & Carton LLP, a White Plains law firm. A commercial litigator, Barraza will be part of the firm’s business litigation practice.

“Chris is a wonderful addition to our team,” said Jeff Carton, one of the co-founders and managing partners of the firm. “Chris is a seasoned, complex commercial litigator, who will have significant responsibility and an active caseload,” said Carton.

Barraza graduated cum laude from Georgetown University, and received his law degree cum laude from Georgetown’s Law School. He spent much of the past decade practicing in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., with Weil, Gotshal and Manges LLP. “Living in Greenwich with my wife and two children, I’m excited to transition my practice,” remarked Barraza. “I’ve only been here a few weeks, but the diversity and sophistication of the matters the firm is handling is fantastic. The transition has been seamless and I’m excited about the future.”

This year’s Kennedy Center Calendar, “A Unique Perspective,” showcases the artistic talent of 18 artists with disabilities, 10 of whom are new local artists.

An annual holiday tradition for more than 30 years, People’s United Bank initially supported this popular community project and now People’s United Community Foundation continues the tradition. A total of 25,000 calendars are printed each year.

More than 250 enthusiastic supporters recently gathered at the calendar kickoff party hosted by Gallery@999 on the second floor of the Margaret E. Morton Government Center in Bridgeport, where the exhibit was mounted.

Each artist was recognized, cheered and provided with a keepsake framed rendition of his or her artwork. The opening coincided with the kick-off of the Bridgeport Arts Trail.

Gallery@999 at the Margaret E. Morton Government Center has been transformed into a massive art gallery representing more than 40 Kennedy Center artists and more than 50 paintings. The artwork will be on display for public viewing until the end of January.

“For over three decades, we have supported and funded the much-anticipated Kennedy Center Calendar, as it uniquely demonstrates the remarkable abilities of the Kennedy Center artists,” said Armando Goncalves, southern Connecticut market president, People’s United Bank. “This popular calendar is widely circulated throughout the bank’s branches in Connecticut and Westchester County, New York.”

Richard E. SebastianJr., president and CEO of The Kennedy Center, said, “We extend

MEYER NAMED REALTOR OF THE YEAR From left: Armando Goncalves, southern Connecticut market president, People’s United Bank; Richard E. Sebastian Jr., president and CEO of The Kennedy Center; Christian Delgado, artist; and Karen Galbo, executive director of the People’s United Community Foundation.

our sincere thanks to People’s United Bank and People’s United Community Foundation, who annually underwrite The Kennedy Center Calendar. This vibrant calendar motivates us to be touched, moved and inspired (my acronym for TMI) by the many abilities of our artists with disabilities.”

As The Kennedy Center’s Expressive Arts program has grown and expanded over the years, the works of visual artists have evolved beyond the mediums of paint, pen and ink, and collage typically found in past calendars.

This year a piece of transformational art was selected for the 2019 “A Unique Perspective” Calendar cover. An old bicycle discovered at the local recycling center has been deconstructed and reconstructed into a work of art using the various parts such as chains, reflectors, pedals, nuts and bolts, hubs and spokes.

Other artists were collectively inspired by abandoned trash they had found, which they worked into another unique piece of art.

The calendar was designed by Meghan Gerety, a freelance artist in Brooklyn and former Connecticut resident, and was printed by GHP Media in West Haven.

The Kennedy Center, founded in 1951, is an internationally accredited, nonprofit, community-based rehabilitation organization that currently serves more than 2,000 individuals annually.

Established in 2007, People’s United Community Foundation was formed to help support programs and activities that enhance the quality of life for citizens in the communities that People’s United Bank serves.

Founded in 1842, People’s United Bank, N.A. is a subsidiary of People’s United Financial Inc.

The Connecticut Architecture Foundation is committed to enhancing and promoting the quality of the state’s built-environment and encouraging public understanding and community involvement in the design and building processes, which create physical surroundings.

The Ridgefield office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties recently announced that the Ridgefield Board of Realtors named Art Meyer Realtor of the Year.

“Such a well-deserved recognition as Art leaves his position with the board after six-plus years of service. His selfless dedication of time and involvement have helped raise awareness of issues related to real estate and encouraged involvement locally,” said Josephine Simko, office leader.

“Service, knowledge, integrity and out-ofthe-box thinking are the most important qualities that define Art as a Realtor,” Simko concluded.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England and Westchester Properties is a leading real estate brokerage firm with more than 1,800 Realtors in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Westchester County.

KNITTING FOR A CAUSE Residents at Edgehill have transformed their hobby into a charitable cause during this jolly season of giving. Preparing for cold weather, the Knit Away group has donated knit shawls and hats to cancer patients at Stamford Hospital so everyone can stay warm during the colder seasons.

Andrea Bass and Ginny Landel from the Bennett Cancer Center paid a visit to the seniors, who hand crafted the knit items, to thank them for their donation.

“Knitting brings us joy, but we enjoy it even more when we know it’s going to be benefiting someone in need, help them feel loved.” said Maggie Knehans, Edgehill resident.

Set on the spacious grounds of a former family retreat in Stamford, Edgehill Retirement Community is a Type A Lifecare, all-inclusive continuing care retirement community.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.
