students from the zoo’s national award-winning Conservation Discovery Corps program.

The Conservation Discovery Corps is seven years old. In 2013 it was a runner-up in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) contest’s education category; this year it won first place.

The cutoff for the Beardsley Zoo’s contest cohort was a $5 million operating budget.

“So we’re not competing against the likes of Sea World,” said Jim Knox, 49, the Cornell University-educated curator of education at the zoo and before that the zoo’s predator keeper. He termed the AZA contest submission process “exhaustive” and designated the

ew Canaan’s downtown is a place where neighbors know neighbors.

The streets are dotted with smallbusiness owners who have established a rapport with one another over the years. The storefronts are small-scale, but behind each glass door are trinkets and treasure troves of merchandise worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

From 18th century Chinese tea caddies to Project Runway winner Christian Siriano’s oneof-a-kind designer gowns, the town outfits itself as a small-business showroom.

The Metro-North train station acts as an entrance to the city. Directly across the street, fashion design store L’Armoire, which means “the wardrobe,” greets shoppers both local and from a 90-mile radius. Store owner Diane Roth said if it weren’t for the local station, businesses wouldn’t be as successful.

“There are very few walking towns left in this country with the interstate highway and Route 1 cutting through,” Roth said. “People gravitate towards the easiest way to get in and out of the city. New Canaan businesses survived during the recession because we have a branch line, and it’s easy to get to Westchester, Darien and into Manhattan. Without the train it’d be a different town. The train allows us to be more cosmopolitan.”

The 2,500-square-foot store has been open for 29 years, dressing powerful corporate executives in industries ranging from marketing to finance. Roth said she enjoys finding the perfect outfit for women and that some of her favorite

Bridgeport offers fresh-food options while it awaits a new grocer

BY HUGH BAILEY Hearst Connecticut Media

F

ood World, at 345 Huntington Turnpike, was not long for this world.

After closing in 2011 and reopening soon afterward, the grocery store has again shut its doors, this time, apparently, for good.

It’s a familiar story east of the Pequonnock River. Grocery stores are hard to come by, and when they open, they don’t tend to last.

The Huntington Turnpike site has long proven a difficult sell. “It’s always been a tough location,” said Paul Timpanelli, chairman and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council. “The word is it’s closed permanently and has been for a couple of months.”

The site is listed for lease at $22 a square foot from Fairfield-based United Properties, with immediate availability.

To the south, the East End neighborhood is the state’s longest-standing “food desert,” city officials said, defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an urban neighborhood without ready access to fresh, healthy and affordable food. The East End has lacked a full-service grocer for some 35 years.

Despite the challenges, there are signs of change. A series of city programs is aimed at bringing fresh food to underserved areas at farmers markets, corner stores and from community gardens. And the ultimate dream of a full-size grocer may be close to fruition.

TOUGH BUSINESS

Jim Fagan, senior managing director of Cushman & Wakefield, a New York-based commercial real estate broker with offices in Stamford, said it’s a rocky time for the industry.

“The grocery business has always been difficult, and more and more people have crept into their space,” he said. “Now you have drugstores, Target, Walmart selling groceries. There are a lot of people eating into your business.”

He said siting decisions take a number of factors into consideration, including parking, store layout, traffic and density, and that smaller stores are having a hard time competing. The closed Food World site is listed as having less than 10,000 square feet of space at a time when a suburban Super Stop & Shop can be up to 75,000 square feet in size.

Grocers operate on profit margins as small as 1 percent, experts said. “This is why a lot of them have gone to a bigger format, why they have more pharmacies, sell greeting cards, charcoal, health and beauty aids, and all the rest,” Fagan said. “All of those have more substantial margins than groceries.”

He compared grocery stores to gas stations, which earn little money selling gasoline but make it up with convenience store items a customer might pick up at the register.

It was not necessarily a surprise the store had reopened so quickly after its earlier closing.

“If you talk to any retailer, they will say some people have better formats than other people,” he said. “It’s evolutionary. Whenever someone goes out of business, it can be an indication that it’s not a great retail area, or it could also be the person there before just didn’t get it.”

LOCATION

There are specific factors that make a poor neighborhood more difficult to place a grocer, experts have said, starting with a low average neighborhood income.

Katie S. Martin, director of the public health program at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, said a major challenge for dense cities is a lack of available land.

“Space is at a premium in densely populated areas like Bridgeport,” she said. “The challenge for a large chain is that they tend to have a standard footprint. There’s a cookiecutter approach, and if you can’t fit that, it’s more likely to go in a suburban area where there’s acres of land.”

She said, though, that poorer neighborhoods can have unexpected purchasing power. “Just from the density, you have more people,” she said. “You also have leverage from federal food assistance programs,” including SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, and the Women, Infants and Children program, which provides vouchers specifically for healthy food.

Other programs have been introduced to allow people to double the value of vouchers at farmers markets, which Bridgeport has pursued.

Beyond that is the prospect of a supermarket employing local residents. “Then you’re talking not just food, but jobs, and that adds to purchasing power right there,” Martin said.

Areas marked by a lack of food options can suffer from poor health outcomes. While supermarkets are likely to sell a variety of healthy foods at less expensive prices, convenience stores usually charge more, and tend not to sell fresh food, research has found.

Some studies have linked a lack of access to fresh food with high obesity rates in poor neighborhoods, though other reports have questioned that link.

“It’s not as easy as just plopping a grocery store in and then the problem will be solved,”

Food World in Bridgeport recently closed for business.

Martin said. “We didn’t get to this obesity epidemic overnight,” adding that full-service grocery stores also have plenty of unhealthy offerings.

SEAVIEW PLAZA

Andre Baker, elected last week to the state House of Representatives district that includes the East End, said he has supported efforts to prove the neighborhood’s purchasing power is greater than its reputation.

“For the last two years, we’ve had a farmers market on Stratford Avenue every Sunday, and we’ve been doing what we can to get people to come out and support this,” he said.

“We’re looking at buying power, to try to utilize the farmers market to see if that would generate some momentum by the numbers of people that have come out.”

But it hasn’t always worked as planned.

For a time, most of the customers came from elsewhere. “It was mostly people from outside the district,” Baker said, adding that some residents were initially put off by high prices.

“I’m a little fearful of getting a small market here, and being able to sustain it, to have enough dollars coming in,” he said.

Seaview Plaza, a development planned on an old steel plant’s property in the East End, is the site of the city’s long-standing plans to bring a grocery store to the neighborhood. After a previous plan fell through, the city issued a request for proposals in 2012 that explicitly requires construction of a fullservice grocer and pharmacy.

City officials said last week that Bridgeport Landing, which is developing the massive Steelpointe project, has been chosen for Seaview Plaza and will be able to deliver the grocery store the neighborhood has long lacked.

The original Seaview Plaza plan included

a 65,000-square-foot grocery store; details of the latest proposal have not been released. A formal announcement is months away, and extensive prep work may be required before construction could start. It will likely be years before a grocery store opens.

In the meantime, the city has a number of programs aimed at bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to neighborhoods that lack access to them.

HEALTHY CORNERS

Kristin duBay Horton, Bridgeport’s director of health, said the city is pursuing different avenues while it waits for a more permanent solution.

The Healthy Corners initiative has used state and federal grant money to buy refrigeration equipment for three small corner stores in the neighborhood to store and sell fresh produce. The $22,000 program started early this year.

“The long-term plan is to get full-service grocer, but in the meantime we have these initiatives to bring healthy food into neighborhoods,” she said.

The program includes three of the neighborhood’s 30 corner stores — two on Connecticut Avenue and one on Stratford Avenue, the parallel one-way streets that bisect the area — that were vetted by local residents.

She said the stores are within walking distance from anywhere in the neighborhood. They had to meet certain guidelines to be chosen, like clearing the register area of less-healthy offerings, and are subject to checks to ensure the refrigerators are used for their intended purposes.

Turnaround group hosts Himes

R

ecently re-elected U.S. Rep. Jim Himes will be the keynote speaker at the fourth annual Economic Forum, cosponsored by the Weston-based Connecticut Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association, the Connecticut Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth and the Crossroads Venture Group at Fairfield University on Nov. 25.

Himes, a Democrat who represents the state’s 4th District, was elected to Congress in 2009. He is a member of the Financial Services Committee’s two subcommittees on capital markets and government-sponsored enterprises and on housing and insurance and is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He is a former Goldman Sachs vice president and former vice president of Enterprise Community Partners, a nonprofit developer of affordable housing.

Preceding Himes’ appearance will be two panel discussions, the first on the economy and the second on doing business in Connecticut.

The first panel, “Is the Sky Really Falling or is the Ground Just Rising Up?,” will be moderated by Donald E. Gibson, dean and professor at the Charles F. Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University. Panelists include Philip Lane, associate professor of economics, Dolan School of Business; John Traynor, senior vice president and chief information officer, Bridgeport-based People’s United Bank; and Scott E. Gluck, counsel, New York City-based Venable LLP. The second panel, “From Cradle to Grave & Everything In Between: A Practical Guide to Running & Funding a Business in Connecticut,” will be moderated by James C. Schulwolf, a partner in Shipman & Goodwin LLP. Panelists include Michael Fedele, founder and chairman of The Pinnacle Group and former lieutenant governor of Connecticut; and Christian E. Lund, a partner in Hamilton Robinson Capital Partners. A third panelist will be announced.

“We will be hearing post-election views from Washington, academia and business about the state of America’s economy — especially in Connecticut – and what’s required to renew it,” said Philip G. Kane Jr., president of the Connecticut Turnaround Management Association chapter and a vice president of U.S.

Bank, in a statement. “We will also be providing informed insight into what it takes for business — especially Connecticut business — to succeed in today’s low-growth environment.”

Ramsey Goodrich, chairman of Association for Corporate Growth Connecticut and a managing director at Fairfield-based Carter Morse & Mathias, in a statement said, “This is an important information session for both operating companies and the deal-making community in the area. The business climate in Connecticut is deeply impacted by decisions made in Washington, and Congressman Himes’ van-

Last year’s event attracted 175 financial and corporate executives, including private equity investors, investment bankers, commercial lenders, attorneys, accountants and other transactional advisers.

The event is at Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business, 1073 N. Benson Road, Fairfield. It will begin at 3 p.m. and end with a cocktail reception and dinner with Himes from 6:30 to 8 pm.

The Turnaround Management Association dates to 1988 and has more than 9,300 members in 49 chapters, including 31 in North America.

Is your financial advisor minimizing the risks to your family’s lifestyle? Most people we meet are extremely vulnerable to at least half of the risks covered in our risk assessment Scorecard.

Reby Advisors provides conservative financial planning advice to more than 400 families, managing over $350 million in assets for people at all levels of wealth. We have five CFP® professionals on our team and will celebrate 30 years in business next year.

Most people we’ve met over the past 30 years already had “financial advisors.” We know where these advisors leave their clients vulnerable.

Here are just a few examples of the common problems we see: 1.

2.

3.

4.

6.

Their fees are too high.

Transparency is still a problem.

They don’t minimize your income taxes.

Their clients fail our risk assessment test.

They have the wrong definition of income.

They put your money in the wrong investments in the wrong places.

These six points are merely the tip of the iceberg. In fact, we’ve never met with an individual or family—regardless of whether they have an advisor—who scored higher than a 65 out of 100 on our risk assessment test.

That’s why I urge you to contact us at (203) 790-4949 to schedule a financial consultation – no cost and no obligation.

Even if you’re not interested in switching financial advisors, this is an opportunity to get a second opinion on whether your current portfolio and financial plan have you on track to reach your lifestyle goals.

The city has expanded farmers markets in other neighborhoods, in addition to encouraging community gardens for people to grow their own food, among other programs, she said.

“Bridgeport is in a position to be a national model,” she said. “Four years (from) now, I expect that when I look at the childhood

clients are female executives with high net worth. Those are the customers who know exactly what they’re looking for, she said.

Roth’s clients come from all parts of the country, from Palm Beach, Fla., and Beverly Hills, Calif., to Manhattan and Greenwich. Her fashion boutique business, which survived through two economic recessions, has found ways to adapt and make wise inventory decisions. While some of her smaller designers went out of business, she said she was able to cut costs and stick with proven designers whose products remain in demand.

“Experience allows you to catch the wind puffs and avoid the big waves,” Roth said.

Business is picking up as the holiday season approaches. Roth said she is hosting trunk shows at her store next month. The shows are expected to generate more foot traffic by giving shoppers an opportunity to meet the designers. Most of her designers are Italian, German, French and American, but she recently picked up the work of a young Japanese designer, Hanaka Maeda of Adeam, who was featured in the Wall Street Journal.

Roth, a board member on the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce, said the town is promoting small businesses by holding its 10th annual Holiday Stroll from Dec. 5-6.

The holiday season will not only lure local shoppers to the downtown; it also will give small businesses exposure to hundreds of out-of-towners visiting for the holidays.

Sally Kaltman, owner of Sallea Antiques, opened her shop in 1979 and has seen New Canaan evolve over the years. When she first came to town, the buildings were filled with liquor stores and real estate brokers. Now there’s a smattering of small businesses like hers and a couple of big-box retailers such as Starbucks, Baskin Robbins and J.Crew.

“I think it’s very well-balanced,” Kaltman said. “We have dress shops, shoe stores, cosmetics, antique dealers, art galleries. We know pretty much everybody up the street.”

As December is fast approaching, Kaltman said she anticipates Christmas time will be the busiest season of the year for her business. During the holidays, the best-selling items are candles, fireplace inserts and toolsets. She said that’s not to overlook her collection of rare antique boxes inlaid with silver from the 1800s used to hold sewing

kits and jewelry, nor her Chinese porcelain and vases.

When asked how she finds antique items in mint condition, she said, “You pass over a lot for things that aren’t perfect.” She added that sometimes people sell her items that just need to be dusted off or cleaned, which once they’re polished are “brought up to luster.”

Kaltman plans to take her antique show on the road to Houston after returning from Chicago the week before. She said she’s been showcasing her antiques for more than 40 years. Each antique show costs about $10,000, and she usually goes to eight a year.

Down the street, Pennyweights, a familyowned handcrafted jewelry business selling everything from $3 sterling silver earrings to $1,500 diamond-studded bracelets, is seeing an uptick in business. Geoff and Kelly Sigg have been operating their business for nearly 15 years after buying it from another family in 2000.

The perk of a boutique jewelry store that sells fairly inexpensive merchandise is that it can cater to a variety of customers from infants to elderly women. In terms of the owners’ economic outlook, the market looks favorable for their industry, Geoff Sigg said.

“People are more optimistic and more willing to spend money now compared to the recession,” Sigg said. “For our industry, many of the larger wholesalers have a difficult time.

We sell precious metals, and the price fluctuates against the dollar. We’ve been lucky com-

Audience Development and Circulation ing up — the dollar is stronger and the price precious metal has gone down.”

Sigg said the best-selling items around the holiday season will include infinity necklaces, bar necklaces and bib necklaces, as well as hand-crafted earrings.

“No other stores have the selection we do,” Sigg said. “Most other retailers in New Canaan are high-end and sell Rolexes and diamond rings.”

Sigg said a lack of parking in New Canaan deters foot traffic in the downtown. He said one suggestion for helping small businesses is to install tiered parking lots that are two or three stories high.

“But neighbors don’t want those things next to their house,” Sigg said.

For now, Sigg said he’s been opening his store after business hours on Thursday evenings to catch the last wave of shoppers before they go home for the night.

Zoo — » » From page 1

award “a big deal in our world.”

A total 280,000 people visit the zoo each year. Beyond that, off-site outreach includes three to four “Zoomobiles” that ferry animals to schools, senior residences and the like — with boa constrictors, alligators and owls along for the ride.

For businesses interested in an outing or a team-building exercise, Nigerian dairy goats mesmerize as few CEOs ever could.

The zoo’s department of development and marketing handles corporate events. There is also an indoor carousel of spectacular scale and detail available for rent.

The zoo is both a regional and global facility, one of 236 in the world with the AZA’s topmost accreditation. Because of its status, the Beardsley has animals rarely seen anywhere: Andean condors and, from the Amur River Valley on the border of southeastern Russia and northern China, an Amur leopard and a pair of Amur tigers – sometimes called Siberian tigers – the biggest in the world.

There are only 30 to 35 Amur leopards left in the wild, Knox said, a number that was 50 to 80 just a few years ago. The leopards eat wild pigs that eat pine nuts. As humans increasingly encroach on their habitat and cut down the pines, both pigs and leopards are impacted. Poaching, too, is a problem.

Red wolves and maned wolves battle extinction as well from their corrals on the 200-acre Frederick Law Olmsted-designed grounds. About 40 animals — including a blue-tongued skink and a blue and gold macaw — are used for teaching.

The zoo dates to 1922 when Beardsley Park, designed in1884, became its home.

The park, on land donated by James Walker Beardsley, was already well known as a

walking ground for P.T. Barnum’s circus animals and several of them, including a stubborn camel that blocked Bridgeport traffic until it was driven to the new zoo in a horse ambulance, would form the backbone of the new zoo.

In a youth success story, the zoo runs the Conservation Discovery Corps. There are currently 53 high school students in the program, which in September was named the best educational program in the country in the small-zoo cohort by the AZA. The Beardsley also partners with the Boy Scouts of America for a co-ed Zoo Explorer Post that now has 32 explorers.

The Conservation Discovery Corps students do field research and field work. Sixty percent are girls. An outing might involve

counting snails (in waders) for data input or rooting out invasive species like phragmites and mile-a-minute vine. They also conduct outreach, teaching tour groups and, especially, small children. Knox said the youngsters relate well to the high school corps teachers because high school possesses great cachet in their grade-school world.

Knox called the field and teaching efforts of the Conservation Discovery Corps “cross pollinating” by working with other zoo programs like Trout in the Classroom, which has established a sustaining trout population in the Pequonnock River for four years running after a century of species elimination.

As for quantifying what the program has accomplished, he said, “In terms of costeffectiveness, our measures are nonstan-

dard.” Conservation Discovery Corps students have attended and are attending top colleges, including the Ivies, he said.

“We have students now in the UConn honors program,” Knox said. “We have had students participate who are now in veterinary school. The AZA wanted to know what tangible measure of success we could demonstrate. We said, ‘Here are some of the schools our students attend.’ These are A students.”

A tour beside spellbound zoogoers on a recent fall day indicated animals retain their abilities to teach and to fascinate. Knox said that by training youths to be teachers and nature lecturers, there is the potential for outsized payback with the students acting as conservation ambassadors when they leave the zoo.

“Some of these students could not name the local river when they started,” he said.

“Now, they have helped restore it. It’s science first and foremost, but they are having a blast. And the proof is in the pudding: Our enrollment goes up every year.”

Knox said he is just a cog in the zoo’s educational efforts. He said a dozen educators work on the Conservation Discovery Corps program, including Jackie Westlein, zoo educator, and Gian Morresi, the Conservation Discovery Corps coordinator, with whom he toured the zoo. “No one person won the award,” he said.

“We’re very proud of the staff here.”

“We are mentoring and teaching the leaders of tomorrow,” Westlein said.

“Conservation has a broad menu and it is critically important. No matter the field these students choose, what they learn inside the zoo will readily translate to the business community and to a career path in business or science. They become educators, public speakers, advocates. We have definitely helped make a better citizen.”

ASK ANDI

Individual mistakes highlight a company’s needs Lately we’re dealing with a lot of unreliable people that work for us. When people screw up, they do say “I’m sorry” and act as if they’re off the hook because they apologized. I know sometimes it is easier to turn someone around than to replace them; how do you know when to quit and move on?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Reliability is a big issue – make sure you know where the problem is coming from. Teach people that the problem isn’t over until it’s solved – permanently. Attitude and behavior are where to look when trying to decide if you keep someone or let them go. Make sure that you don’t get in the way of letting others take the reins when it comes to problem-solving.

One word in this problem puzzle caught my eye: “lately.” Many companies are getting busier as the economy picks up. And yet as owners, we hesitate to commit to hiring what we need for fear that things will turn down again. After all, most companies are still repairing their balance sheets, and most business owners can still recall the uncomfortable days agonizing over decisions about cutting staff. No one wants to get caught with too many people on payroll when they’re not completely sure the business will grow.

However, when problems start to increase, it may not be the fault of the people.

It could be the workload, how the skills fit the work or that people cannot stretch their efforts any further. When business picks up, different parts of the business get busy. The busier people get, the more likely they are to take shortcuts and risk mistakes.

One big challenge for most organizations is they’ve learned to function on a just-intime basis. An hour of overtime is sometimes necessary to get work out the door. And then it becomes two hours of overtime. Then 3 hours. Sooner or later, there is no more to give. People aren’t machines. They need time off to refresh and rest. And if they don’t get time off, they get worn out, mistakes go up and the recovery time puts everyone further behind. And problems get out of control.

So if you’re wondering why things are getting worse lately, check if it’s time to hire more people.

On the other hand, when problems crop up all around, you can’t be the one to step in and fix it every time. That just increases the

load you’re carrying. It’s time for you to start leading the organization to a more successful way of doing things.

Slow it down. When things go wrong the temptation is to rush in order to catch up.

Instead, encourage people to stop and fix one problem before moving on to the next set of challenges. Make fewer demands and avoid introducing new issues until the old ones are taken care of. Ask people to tell you how they’ve solved problems, and listen to their explanations. Then figure out how to make their solutions permanent.

Move people around. It’s human nature to want to succeed. The question is, are the actions being taken actually leading to success?

Ask people to look with a new perspective.

Maybe the old way of doing things isn’t the best – it’s hard for someone to see that if they’ve

sibility for permanently fixing the problems they encounter.

Check your own ego at the door. You may know how to fix things, but if you do, someone else doesn’t get the chance to learn.

Step back to let others take charge. You’ll live longer if you let the people around you take action to fulfill the mission you’ve created.

been doing the same thing over and over.

Make realistic promises to customers. Ask the people around you what they think. Just because the customer wants it a certain way, or delivered by a certain date, doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do things. Keep in mind that an extraordinary request often leads to headaches. Make sure you have the time and resources needed before you commit.

Watch what people do more than listening to what they say. Are certain people OK with failure? Always trying to fix a problem instead of preventing it? Acting like their way is the only way, even though there are problems all around them? Running around leaving chaos in their wake? That’s not good.

Cancer fight enlists big names, collects $2.6M

ore than 1,000 supporters, multiple myeloma patients and guests recently attended the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Fall Gala at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, raising $2.6 million that will go toward multiple myeloma clinical trials and cancer research.

The annual gala — this was No. 18 — was billed as one the country’s largest cancer

research benefits and the “the highlight of the social calendar.”

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the blood plasma cells that will see more than 24,000 diagnoses nationally in 2014. The research foundation said it will kill more than 11,000 in the U.S. this year.

Bestselling author and longtime NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, a multiple myelo-

ma patient, received the foundation’s Spirit of Hope Award.

“The Spirit of Hope Award is the highest honor presented by the foundation in recognition of the extraordinary contributions by the honoree to inspire hope through his or her life work,” the foundation said in a statement.

Besides Brokaw, guests included Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News and an honorary member of the foundation’s board of directors, who served as master of ceremonies; and musician Wynton Marsalis, managing and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, who was the event headliner. Other well-known attendees included Andrea Mitchell, Hoda Kotb, Willie Geist, David Letterman and Lee and Bob Woodruff.

“I am so inspired by Tom’s strong spirit, as well as the incredible support given by many people from patients, to pharmaceutical partners, to leading philanthropists in support of our mission,” said Kathy Giusti, the research foundation’s executive chairwoman and founder and a multiple myeloma patient. “The MMRF was created by patients and individuals to bring about a meaningful change in cancer research models and we

will not stop until cures are found.”

“We deeply appreciate the participation and partnership of so many prominent industry leaders and supporters who attended the MMRF gala,” said Walter Capone, CEO and president of the foundation. “Their backing and continuous collaboration will enable us to continue to drive leading-edge research and ground-breaking new treatments until we overcome this disease.”

The organization said it works with “some of the world’s most respected research and medical industry partners in studies, initiated trials, developed treatments and introduced new medicines that are having a lasting impact and saving lives across many cancers.”

REDC package seals the deal for finance group

Ridgefield Economic Development Commission program packed with economic and quality-of-life incentives helped draw Ceponis Financial Group to the town recently.

“After carefully evaluating all the factors in selecting a new home for our business such as location, rent rates and convenience to town resources, the REDC incentive package was the deciding factor,” David Ceponis, president of Ceponis Financial Group, said in an REDC press release. CFG is relocating to 100 Danbury Road from Wilton.

The REDC places the value of the package at $30,000. It includes a sixmonth membership in the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce, a Web page on Destination Ridgefield, a year’s subscription for two to the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra, a membership for each employee and admission for two to select performances at the Ridgefield Playhouse, and a one-year

membership to the Ridgefield Golf Club for two for unlimited midweek rounds. The Ridgefield Recreation Center will offer every employee a 3-month family membership, and the gym will supply 10-day passes for all employees and a pair of onemonth memberships with two training sessions. The Keeler Tavern Museum will supply a one-year membership for all employees and their immediate family members, and The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum will provide two passes for one year, with each pass accounting for up to five people.

For a business to avail itself of this incentive program before signing a lease or purchasing or building a property, it must request a brochure by emailing alight@ ridgefieldct.org or calling 203-2445929.

Ceponis said he learned about the program through Ceponis Financial Group’s broker At Danbury-based Ryer Associates.

Arnold Light, chairman of the REDC, in the press release said the brochure is being distributed through the chamber of commerce, Town Hall, the first selectman’s office, landlords and commercial real estate brokers. It is also posted on the commission’s website.

“The first thing a new business asks is what are the tax incentives your town offers,” Light said.

Light said the REDC favored including a town tax rebate for businesses in the package but it was rejected.

“This package could’ve had a lot more impact if the town’s Board of Selectman would have agreed to a small tax rebate on a business’ personal property tax,” he said.

“Unfortunately, they didn’t take into account the value of new dollars coming into town as a result of new business and the three-times local dollar multiplier effect it could have on the town’s economy.”

ndividuals, small- and largebusiness representatives, nonprofit leaders and physicians comprise the ballot of candidates for the new HealthyCT board of directors. Online voting began Nov. 13. Voting ends Dec. 17.

As explained by HealthyCT, because it is a Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan, or CO-OP, “its members will occupy the majority of voting seats on the board of the nonprofit health insurance company.”

The 12 candidates on the ballot hail from across Connecticut. Over the summer, the health insurer began notifying members about the opportunity to serve on and/or vote for the board.

Candidates were able to nominate themselves as long as they were a HealthyCT member in good standing and at least age 18. They also had to pass a background check; have not served on the board of another insurance carrier since 2009; and not be serving as a representative of any state, federal or local government or quasi-governmental body.

A dozen candidates emerged from 13 individual applications and several candidates already serving on the board.

Online voting, managed by an outside election vendor, is open to HealthyCT members via the homepage at HealthyCT.org.

Members also will receive voting instructions and reminders by mail and online during the election. Voting closes at the HealthyCT annual meeting Dec. 17.

The new board will begin its term in January, with at least six of the 11 voting board seats occupied by members chosen in the election.

“This is what truly sets HealthyCT apart from other insurance companies in Connecticut,” said David S. Katz, president of the HealthyCT board of directors. “The company answers to members in a very real way — not just in providing great health insurance every day, but also by giving them a place on the board that will help determine the direction this company takes in the years to come.”

Foundation and bank seek $20K to fight vascular ailment

B

ridgeport-based People’s United Bank’s Greenwich branches and the Hannah Storm Foundation will join forces this holiday season with the Brighten up a Child’s Life fundraising campaign. The effort to raise $20,000 kicks off Nov. 29, 10 a.m., with a reception attended

by Storm, an ESPN anchor, at 119 E. Putnam Ave., Cos Cob. In its words, the mission of the Hannah Storm Foundation “is to raise awareness, fund treatment and provide educational information for children suffering from disfiguring vascular birthmarks.”

For every $5 donation made at any of the People’s United Greenwich locations through Jan. 5, customers, visitors and employees will have the opportunity to illuminate one light on a holiday tree.

The trees will be displayed in branch lobbies at 1155 E. Putnam Ave., Riverside; 119 E. Putnam Ave., Cos Cob; 410 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich; and 146 Sound Beach Ave., Old Greenwich.

“Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the New Year,” said Stephen Shealy, People’s United Bank vice president and senior market manager for Greenwich, in a press release. “We

“We are so thrilled to partner with People’s United Bank to ‘Brighten up A Child’s Life’ this holiday season,” Storm said

in the press release. “The monies raised through this campaign will help ensure our children have the lives they deserve.”

HK Group sells Westport office building

atthew Keefe, Franco Fellah, David Lindland and Justin Barry of Westport-based HK Group completed the sale of the Class A office building at 276 Post Road W., Westport.

HK Group was the only broker in the transaction.

The price was termed confidential in a press release announcing the sale to an unnamed New York City entity. The fully leased, 32,873-square-foot office property, built in 1987, is on 2.93 acres of land. It last changed hands in 2002.

Tenants in the building include Iridian Asset Management LLC, an investment management firm that works with institutional investors; Source Capital Group Inc., which provides investment banking and investor services; and Paragon Group Holdings Inc., a real estate investment and management company.

“The New York City-based buyer had interest in acquiring some of the highest quality real estate in Fairfield County and found 276 Post Road W. to fulfill that requirement,” HK Group said in a statement.

Sports business jobs fair

Know-how makes your business, our business.

J

ob opportunities in the roughly $400 billion American sports industry will be the focus of the seventh annual Sports Business Career Fair this month at Manhattanville College in Purchase, N.Y. The event, developed by the college’s sport business management degree program, will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Nov. 21, at Reid Castle on the Manhattanville Road campus.

A panel of human resources executives will offer perspectives on employment in their respective sport businesses at 10 a.m.

Moderated by sports executive and recruiter Keith Cutler, executive recruiter at MiCa Sports and co-founder of Sports Central, the panel will include Alyssa Adelson, talent acquisition director at Octagon, a Norwalkbased sports and event marketing and talent representation company; Marybeth Interdonato, senior human resources manager at the U.S. Tennis Association; Mike Smith, National Football League senior vice president for human resources; and Miguel Zurita, head of talent acquisition at NBC Sports Group.

NBC Sports Group relocated to Stamford from New York City last year, bringing hundreds of jobs.

Manhattanville officials said more than 30 hiring managers will be on hand as exhibitors representing sports teams, leagues, associations, event venues and agencies.

“Based on the sport business curriculum we have developed, our convenient location and relationships with the sports business leaders, hosting events like this is a natural,” said David Torromeo, executive director of the sport business program at Manhattanville.

Along with its 8-year-old sport business management master’s degree program, the college has expanded its offerings with a sport studies undergraduate program.

Sacred Heart business school carves out spot among the best

BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

S

acred Heart University’s John F. Welch College of Business in Fairfield is enhancing its draw for prospective students with added degree programs and new learning opportunities that are international and hands-on.

Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, for whom the college is named, has invested in an evolving Sacred Heart business school that integrates classroom learning with real-world applications. Called “The Welch Experience,” the new iteration of the business program, which began in 2007, draws faculty and staff from around the world. The business school is notable for a diversity of faculty and staff — 45 percent of whom are international — myriad global studies and collaborative engagement opportunities and most recently its problem-based learning labs.

“We tried to make our programs dynamic enough so they evolve into what the marketplace needs,” said Kwamie Dunbar, assistant dean at the business school. “The problem-based learning lab or experiential learning was a very important integration into our program. In problem-based learning labs, students consult with firms in real time and respond to real-time business problems. As they take the problems and work with industry experts in coming up with solutions meaningful for the business, they get exposure to the senior management.”

Business school Dean John Chalykoff said that although Sacred Heart University is not commonly mentioned in the same tier as MIT,

Jack Welch with students.

the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard or Yale, the Welch College of Business is still a top choice among the competitors in its subset.

When Chalykoff started at Sacred Heart University in July 2012, he said the diversity of staff, immersion into global cultural experiences and problem-based learning labs are what drew him to the college. And that’s exactly what has been the selling point for students interested in gaining hands-on experience in the business world.

As a former dean of a business school in Canada who also spent 11 years as the associate dean of the Boston University School of Management, Chalykoff is versed in developing a business school curriculum. He said across the board, nothing beats providing hands-on learning experiences for students and giving them a chance to run their own businesses.

At Sacred Heart’s Welch school, every freshman takes a course that requires them to develop a business plan and successfully operate a business — whether it is a smoothie stand or bicycle repair shop. This is part of the applied learning concept, Chalykoff said. Of the 300 freshmen enrolled in the business school, half of them are taking the hands-on business development course now, while the remaining 150 will take the class next semester.

At the end of the semester, 36 teams of students will have successfully developed and operated a business that they will present to a team of venture capitalists on Dec. 5.

Global opportunities — another staple of the school – include a joint classroom project students in the Welch school can share

with students in Luxembourg and Dingle, Ireland. In recent years, the business school expanded its international partnerships to include the University of Saint Joseph in Macau and Bangkok University, creating opportunities for students to collaborate on business processes using popular international communication tools such as Skype or Line. The school also sends students to Tianjin and Chengdu in China for a monthlong study-abroad program. Technology is also integrated into meeting with business professionals in the U.S. “The use of WebEx and video conferencing capabilities helps tremendously,” Dunbar said. “It allows students to meet with business leaders that may not be able to meet on campus to meet with them virtually either early in the morning or late in the evening.”

Within the past three years, the business school has added a wealth of graduatelevel offerings — master’s degrees in digital marketing, human resources management, accounting, and (starting in fall 2015) finance and investment management; a Doctor of Business Administration in finance; and a full-time MBA program. In the past, the business school only offered part-time MBA and undergraduate degrees.

Starting next fall, the business school will offer a certificate in health care management,

providing courses centered on operations management, leadership and negotiations.

“We’re seeing a lot more people interested in getting a Master of Science degree,” Chalykoff said. “The applicants are younger.

Some of them who would’ve gone to get an MBA are now getting specialized degrees. If you’re in finance, they will hire undergrads for top jobs, but at a certain point they need to get a higher education. There’s a strong demand for a master’s in finance and an undergrad degree in finance and accounting.”

Since 2012, enrollment has increased steadily, Chalykoff said. About 1,200 undergraduates and 300 graduates are enrolled this year.

“We’ve gone up roughly 100 students since 2012,” Chalykoff said. “Next year, we’re hoping to bring in 400 more. Right now we’re on the bottom two floors of Roncalli Hall, which is a dorm that has offices and closet-sized classrooms. We grew out of our space years ago, and when I got there, the vote went through to build a new business school.”

Construction is underway on a new building. The 125,000-square-foot structure is slated to open next semester and house both the college of business and department of communication and media studies, two of Sacred Heart’s fastest-growing programs.

New York piano centers strike a chord in Fairfield

aust Harrison Pianos has opened a 6,000-square-foot showroom and performance center at 322 Blackrock Turnpike in Fairfield.

There are three existing Faust Harrison Pianos facilities in New York, in Westchester County and Manhattan and on Long Island.

This is the company’s first outlet outside New York.

The manager, Erica vanderLinde Feidner, is a former concert pianist who has more than two decades of experience and expertise in piano sales and customer service, according to a statement on the opening.

“Our goal is to be an arts and cultural center in southern Connecticut, offering people the opportunity to experience and purchase great pianos and also to be part of a music community based in the Fairfield area,” Feidner said. “As people walk in and look around our modern, open space with white oak floors, pianos set up in an inviting way along with a relaxed and comfortable listening room, they quickly realize that this is a place to get to know pianos.”

Faust Harrison Pianos was established in 1983 by Sara Faust and bills itself as New York’s largest piano retailer. “Faust Harrison continues to be ahead of the curve with tech-

“Faust Harrison’s balanced focus on offering the finest in both traditional instruments from the world’s most sought-after piano manufacturers as well as cutting-edge piano technology is evident in the new two-floor

The showroom instruments include a Yamaha Disklavier reproducing piano.

Disklaviers can faithfully record and then play back performances with each note and the smallest pedal movement delivered as the pianist originally recorded it.

The Fairfield showroom will incorporate it, “offering myriad opportunities in performance and remote music education.”

The center is also equipped with Disklavier TV, which provides access to a variety of streaming performances captured live at top venues and events from around the country, including the Newport Music Festival and the Monterey Jazz Festival.

“This new showroom reflects our company’s continuing mission to put the customer first, whether by offering the best pianos available, providing the finest piano expertise and service, or being a center for music education and music appreciation for a community,” Sara Faust said.

Art installations, concerts and cultural events are also planned for the new center.

“This incredible new facility highlights Faust Harrison’s commitment not only to the music marketplace, but also to education and music in general for people of all ages,” said Bob Heller, national sales director, keyboard division, Yamaha Corp. of America.

“We’re eager to see all this center brings to Connecticut, given the positive impact Faust Harrison’s three other locations have had on communities in New York.”

WCSU building earns LEED designation

he $97 million Visual and Performing Arts Center at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, which opened in September, has been certified as LEED Silver by the U.S. Green Buildings Council, signifying the facility is energy efficient and was built in a way that conserves resources (FCBJ, page 1, Aug. 18).

LEED stands for leadership in energy and environmental design.

Architects and administrators involved in the project planned for LEED certification from the beginning of design through the two years of construction, even adjusting campus smoking rules to address the environmental policies of the certifying agency, the school reported in a press release.

“This designation confirms Western’s commitment to environmental responsibility,” WCSU President James W. Schmotter said in the press release. “Our new Visual and Performing Arts Center epitomizes creativity not only in the work of our faculty and students, but also in architectural design and in the management of the university’s carbon footprint.”

Peter Visentin, WCSU director of planning and engineering, said criteria used to achieve LEED Silver status at the center included water and energy efficiency, indoor air quality, energy use and the use of recycled or sustainable building materials.

The effort leads to a 20 percent reduction in energy use compared with a similar-sized building built without LEED guidance.

“The process requires you to put together a puzzle that is cost-effective and energy efficient,” Visentin said in the press release. “On a university campus everyone comes with a different perspective. The facilities people are thinking about maintenance; the faculty wants the best teaching facility. So consensus-building is the most important thing. Over the years you develop a sense of what needs to come first in the planning process and get everyone to agree with the steps in the project.”

Luigi Marcone, WCSU interim associate vice president for facilities, said, “This is an example of what we achieve as a 21st-century campus committed to providing a state-ofthe-art teaching and learning environment, while continuing to focus our attention on minimizing the footprint we leave behind on the greater community.”

The building is the third at WCSU to receive LEED certification. The Science Building is LEED Silver and Centennial Hall, a residence hall, received the basic LEED certification.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL • Week of November 17, 2014 17

Symphony’s 50 Years of World-Class Music In 1965, five visionary musicians founded an orchestra in bucolic Ridgefield. Fifty years later, the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra (RSO) has grown into a fully professional ensemble whose annual concert series is enjoyed by concertgoers from throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties.

The RSO is truly a remarkable organization in many ways. According to the League of American Orchestras, no other community nationwide with a comparable population supports an orchestra of the RSO’s size. That speaks volumes to the dedication of the community we serve. And the exceptionally high musical standards we maintain are a testament to our music director and the commitment and quality of our musicians, many of whom have performed with the RSO for decades. Besides performing with all of the major musical organizations in New York on a regular basis, RSO musicians have performed with some of the finest orchestras worldwide, including London’s Royal Philharmonic, the Jerusalem Symphony and the Stockholm Philharmonic, among others. We even have a member of the orchestra who has won a Grammy award.

Internationally acclaimed Music Director Jerry Steichen maintains a busy conducting schedule outside of Ridgefield, including posts with the Utah Symphony and Ballet West.

Under his baton, the RSO continues to grow artistically every season. A reviewer of the RSO’s October 2014 concert noted the “impressive growth in expressive performance and professional quality (of the RSO)…. over the past 50 years.”

He went on to call the performance “a memorable triumph.”

The RSO’s commitment to community includes a robust array of education programs. Notable is a new collaboration with SPHERE, a Ridgefield-based organization that supports adults with developmental disabilities, a groundbreaking program unique in the U.S. And in 2014-15, the RSO has launched a new pre-concert lecture series hosted by noted conductor and musician Michael Lankester.

The RSO’s Golden Anniversary Season includes five concerts of the finest in classical and pops, performed at the Anne S. Richardson Auditorium in Ridgefield and Clune Auditorium in Wilton. For more information, visit ridgefieldsymphony.org, or call 203-438-3889. I invite all of you to join us in celebrating the RSO’s 50th Anniversary!

Arts & Culture of Fairfield County

Touré-Raichel Collective at the Quick Center for the Arts The formation and success of The Touré-Raichel Collective is a reminder of the unique power of music to bridge geographic, ethnic, political and religious differences. This acclaimed world music ensemble, led by Israeli keyboardist and songwriter Idan Raichel and Malian guitarist Vieux Farka Touré — icons in their own countries and abroad — performs at 8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 20, at Fairfield University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.

Touré and Raichel met for the first time by chance in 2008 at a Berlin airport where they expressed mutual admiration and a desire to get together and play. Touré’s father, the late Ali Farka Touré, was one of Raichel’s musical heroes and inspirations. Raichel invited Touré to Israel where they assembled a few musicians and convened an unscripted, improvised jam session. The chemistry between Touré and Raichel was instant and profound. They assumed the name The Touré-Raichel Collective and used the material from that first gathering as the basis for an album, “The Tel Aviv Session,” which found poignant, musically beautiful common ground between the artists’ cultures. Due to popular demand, The Touré-Raichel Collective has undertaken multiple

international tours and performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages. The group’s new album, “The Paris Session,” was released last month.

Tickets are available through the Quick Center Box Office at 203-254-4010, or toll-free 1-877-ARTS-396 (1-877-2787396) or online at quickcenter.com.

Saugatuck’s Past in Westport Artist’s Mural Robert L. Lambdin’s meticulously researched mural depicting the Saugatuck area of Westport as a center of manufacturing and river commerce in 19th century Westport will anchor the exhibition “Saugatuck @ Work – Haven of Community, Commerce, Innovation.” There will be an opening reception Sunday, Nov. 23 at the Westport Historical Society, noon-2 pm. The exhibit was made possible by a CT @ Work grant from CT Humanities. The exhibit and accompanying programs help the CT @ Work initiative meet its goal of sharing stories about the past, present and future of work in Connecticut.

The late Westport artist’s large wall painting shows the various types of vessels that plied the river over the course of the century. Though I-95 did not come into being until the mid-20th century, its bridge over the river appears as a huge arc framing the riverfront scene. The exhibition will also display historic photographs of workers and workplaces of the village, antique maps of Saugatuck harbor, vintage tools made there, patents by Saugatuck inventors, costumes and ship and railroad logs.

In addition, there will be a companion exhibit devoted to the life of immigrants in Westport titled “Framing Saugatuck,” which will run in the Westport Historical Society’s Mollie Donovan Gallery. “Framing Saugatuck” will be a celebration of Saugatuck families, their heritage and contributions to the town of Westport. The exhibit will run through May. For more information about the Westport Historical Society and the exhibit, visit westporthistory.org.

Elections Bring Many Changes to General Assembly

I

n winning a second term, Governor Dannel Malloy will go to work with a General Assembly in January that remains under Democratic control but will have several new leaders and a bigger presence from state Republicans.

The next legislative session is going to be a critical one for Connecticut. Lawmakers will have to adopt a new, two-year state budget—and make Connecticut more inviting to private-sector investment, if we are to grow our economy and create more opportunities for good, well-paying jobs.

There will be many new faces in the General Assembly in January as voters elected 33 new lawmakers due to incumbents deciding not to run again, choosing to run for other office, or being defeated.

Several key legislative leadership changes also are in store for 2015, as Senate President Pro Tem Don Williams (D-Brooklyn), Senate Minority Leader John McKinney (R-Fairfield), and House Republican Leader Larry Cafero (R-Norwalk) all did not seek reelection.

Senate Democrats named Sen. Martin Looney (D-New Haven) as the new president pro tem, and Sen. Bob Duff (DNorwalk) was tapped as majority leader.

win the 20th Senate District seat left vacant by Stillman’s retirement.

In another notable Senate race, Hwang defeated State Rep. Kim Fawcett (D-Fairfield) to win the Senate seat vacated by McKinney.

In the House, the GOP picked up 10 seats to make the new tally 87 Democrats and 64 Republicans—the most seats that party has held in the chamber since 1994, former Gov. Rowland’s first term.

House Republicans unseated Democratic incumbents Joe Diminico of Manchester, Tom Vicino of Clinton, Ted Moukawsher of Groton, Timothy Bowles of Preston, Brian Sear of Canterbury, Christopher Wright of Bristol, Paul Davis of Orange, Elissa Wright of Groton, and James Maroney of Milford.
