BANKS MEET HISPANIC COMMUNITY NEEDS BY DANIELLE BRODY AND COLLEEN WILSON dbrody@westfairinc.com cwilson@westfairinc.com

AS THE NUMBER OF HISPANIC residents continues to grow in Westchester and Fairfield counties, the financial needs for these communities have widened. As a result, both regional and national banks have stepped up their efforts to be a go-to resource for new and longtime residents alike. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey showed that from 2010 to 2013, the Hispanic population grew 10.74 percent in Westchester County and 11.5 percent in Fairfield County. The Business Journal spoke to representatives from Wells Fargo & Co. and TD Bank of Westchester, as well as Brewsterbased Tompkins Mahopac Bank

and Middletown-based Greater Hudson Bank, and Stamfordbased First County Bank — all of which said they have hired more bilingual employees and expanded community outreach to serve the growing Hispanic population. Galdino Velasco, owner of Tacos Guadalajara, said this was not the case when he emigrated from Mexico to Stamford nearly 60 years ago. Now, he said, he notices that nearly all the banks in Stamford have Spanish-speaking employees. He uses First County Bank and Wells Fargo and recommends them to other people. “The bankers are adapting very well,” he said. “They have bilingual personnel — that’s what matters.” Jorge Perez, commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Banking, said the Hispanic » BANCO, page 11

Public and private sectors battle cyber barrages UTILITIES AND COMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES FIGHT BACK WITH STATE HELP

BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com IF A HACKER WERE TO SHUT DOWN an essential utility company, it could be a matter of life or death, according to Arthur House, chairman of the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. He said in the past few years, utility companies have been dealing with attacks that are growing in frequency and sophistication. House, who took the position about three years ago after a career in both the government and private sectors, including in national security, said PURA has been working closely with the state’s private electric, water, gas and telecommunications companies to share information and create cybersecurity standards. “We are at the stage now where I think

the customers in Connecticut — the people in Connecticut — demand to know what we’re doing about cyberthreats,” House said. “They ask questions. I think it’s important for us to say we hear this and we’re going to have a dialogue.” In 2013, the Connecticut General Assembly ratified Connecticut’s Comprehensive Energy Strategy and directed PURA to prepare a cybersecurity review, which was published in April 2014. The report said hostile penetrations occur frequently and called for regulators and utilities to work together. PURA has recently completed a series of working sessions with individual utility companies to discuss their cybersecurity measures, strengths and weaknesses, performance criteria, training, costs and more. Normally meetings require a courtroom setting with testimony and

cross examination, but these have been informal, House said. “We are looking to suspend the normal relationship between the regulators and those who are regulated in order to work out a solution and a new way of assessing our cybersecurity,” House said. “That’s a new task.” PURA is working on a report to share with the companies, who will be able to comment on it. House said the report should be completed at the end of this year or early next year. The outcome will be a set of standards by which companies in all four sectors — electric, water, gas and telecommunications — will report on their progress and how they are managing their cybersecurity. The utilities groups have also agreed to » CYBER, page 6

Liquor pricing gets little notice in 2015 debate CRITICS SAY STATE’S RULES HURT RESIDENTS, OVERALL ECONOMY

BY ALEXANDER SOULE Hearst Connecticut Media

ill Clinton was president and Wine. com had yet to bear fruit in 1998, when Michael Berkoff told members of the Connecticut General Assembly how the state’s liquor law resulted in needlessly high prices for consumers. Berkoff, CEO of Stamford-based BevMax, is still waiting for the message to sink in. Despite a receptive ear from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, the General Assembly recently declined to alter minimum-pricing rules in Connecticut’s Liquor Control Act, which critics like Berkoff say result in shoppers paying more for alcohol than they do in other states. It is an element of Connecticut’s blue laws that has gotten comparatively little attention next to Malloy’s efforts this year to expand Sunday hours at liquor stores, or past issues like the debate over the purchase and taxation of alcohol via the Internet. Under the Liquor Control Act, retailers must charge a minimum amount above what they pay wholesalers, with those prices published monthly. Berkoff says the law hits not just the wallet of Connecticut residents but also the overall economy because liquor stores employ fewer people due to their loss of business to shops in neighboring New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. In 2012, the General Assembly left the pricing status quo in place in the face of strenuous objections by mom-and-pop retailers throughout Fairfield County and Connecticut. The Assembly chose not to address the issue again this year in a bill that would have allowed retailers to sell alcohol at a lower cost if they chose.

Ben Barnes, secretary of the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management, estimated the proposal would increase state tax revenue by $2.8 million annually due to increased sales at Connecticut liquor stores and rejected the idea that new pricing rules would rub out individual package shops, despite the specter of big-box retailers using alcohol as a loss leader to draw people in. “I’m certainly aware of the objection that changes to these regulations will force some small liquor stores out of business,” Barnes told an Assembly committee in March. “I would point out that the same arguments were used when we implemented Sunday sales several years ago. My understanding is that today there is exactly one fewer liquor store in operation in the state of Connecticut than there was before we implemented Sunday sales.” If that is the case, many of those retailers are hanging on by a thread, according to state Sen. L. Scott Frantz, D-Greenwich. “At this point, the margins have never been thinner,” Frantz said. “This final step — or maybe intermediary step here — is something that could endanger their end of the retail spectrum.” In Connecticut today, just more than 1,200 retail liquor permits are in circulation; but the U.S Census Bureau arrived at a smaller count of package stores, at just more than 800 in Connecticut, amounting to one for every 4,450 people. (Connecticut law mandates a cap of one retail liquor permit for every 2,500 people). While that would rank the third nation-

ally for liquor stores on a per-capita basis, the more liberal pricing rules in Massachusetts and Rhode Island have not had a major impact on their own liquor store count, ranked fifth and sixth, respectively. New Jersey and New York are not far behind, at ninth and 13th. While Connecticut had a vastly higher percentage of mom-and-pop shops than Massachusetts or Rhode Island, with 71 percent of stores here employing four people or fewer, 73 percent of the liquor stores in New York were that small; and New Jersey was not far behind at 66 percent. And from a strict jobs perspective, liquor stores in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey employ a larger percentage of the population than their Connecticut counterparts. Connecticut’s consumer protection commissioner argued that mandated prices are not the best tool to regulate an industry, with taxation the other obvious option to control consumer behavior, as in Connecticut with taxes on cigarettes or gasoline in congested areas. “The notion of the regulation of liquor is not and should not be about regulating price and artificial price supports, which of course we’re not getting rid of — we’re just lowering the floor,” said Jonathan Harris, commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. “The regulation of alcohol is based on the fact that we work not to sell to minors and not to serve to people that are intoxicated. That’s the core function of the regulation.” When Connecticut considered allowing discounts on pricing restraints in 2012, as part of Malloy’s bill opening liquor stores for

Sunday business, a small army of liquor store owners and managers locally and statewide went on the record in opposition, with only a few consumers voicing their views. The owner of Greenfield Liquor in Fairfield predicted at the time that the new pricing would result in fully half of liquor shops in Connecticut being forced out of business at a cost of 7,000 jobs. A manager at the time with Ancona’s Wines & Liquors in Ridgefield said his own experience working at two of the largest wine stores in southeast Massachusetts convinced him Connecticut has little to gain by the change proposed. And a manager of Warehouse Wines & Liquors in Danbury offered the same perspective after having worked in New York, saying Connecticut’s system allows for better selection and pricing. Berkoff, whose BevMax also runs stores in Massachusetts and New York, says his Connecticut stores simply cannot match the prices he is able to offer in those states. If wholesalers like the status quo for the guaranteed pricing they are able to extract from their retailer customers, Berkoff said not to underestimate the aversion to change for many legislators — once the genie is out of the bottle, it is difficult to put it back in. With better pricing the possible result for constituents, Berkoff suggests, they won’t want to.

Paloma enlivens Harbor Point

A CELEBRITY CHEF MESHES WELL WITH GROWING NEIGHBORHOOD BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

t Paloma, a restaurant in Stamford’s Harbor Point, the celebrity of owner Aarón Sánchez, the location and the Latin cuisine have proved a recipe for success. Sánchez, known for starring in the Food Network TV show “Chopped,” is chef/partner at Paloma, a 250-seat, two-story restaurant in a glass building overlooking the water. Chris Bateman, the chef de cuisine, said Paloma has been busy since opening a little more than a year ago, attracting fans of Sánchez who become fans of the food. Paloma has outdoor seating with wooden tables and flower benches on the dock and upstairs on a terrace. Indoors, the decoration is a mix of modern and rustic elements with polished concrete floors. There is a stone-facade bar near the entrance. Upstairs, a fireplace and a private dining room can be used for private events. Bateman said the restaurant is familyfriendly and most diners come from throughout the county and from New York. Paloma serves dinner on Mondays, lunch and dinner Tuesdays through Fridays and brunch and dinner on weekends. On a Tuesday night in July, Paloma hosted some 150 diners, Bateman said. On Fridays and Saturdays the restaurant sees

400 to 500 people. Sunday brunch is very popular, he added. “A year later that’s a really good sign,” Bateman said. Bateman, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the restaurant, has been with Paloma since its beginning. Coming from working at the Four Seasons in Hawaii, he said his new work environment is more fast-paced and requires changing the menu every few months. This summer he is adjusting the menu, taking some dishes off and adding options with seasonal ingredients like watermelon

and peaches, Bateman said. The restaurant offers cocktails from the fully stocked bar, meats from the wood-fired grill and seafood from the raw bar. Some dishes include braised short ribs, shrimp cevice and Mexican street corn. Prices range from $8 for desserts, $9 to $19 for appetizers and $20 to $42 for entrees. Bateman said he and Sánchez collaborate on the menu and put their own spin on traditional dishes. “We try to spice it up and change things to make it a little bit different,” Bateman said. “We try to have some fun with the food.”

CBRE releases Q2 leasing stats

ommercial real estate services company CBRE Group Inc. released statistics recently on second-quarter office leasing activity in the region, reporting a growth of midsize tenants in Fairfield County while leasing slowed, and a major corporate tenant accounting for more than half of the activity in Westchester County. Fairfield County saw 721,141 square feet of commercial office space leased in the second quarter, down from 887,414 square feet in the first quarter. This included a 30 percent increase in midsize tenants (10,000 to 50,000 square feet) and a positive net absorption of 145,159 square feet. The average asking rent was slightly down, from $35.63 per square foot to $35.19 in the second quarter. CBRE reported 68,408 square feet of negative absorption in Westchester in the quarter, which, combined with first-quarter negative net absorption, equates to a 654,461-squarefoot negative net absorption for the first half of 2015. The company did, however, cite an increase in small office leases in Westchester – 60 percent of total leasing transactions were for

spaces under 10,000 square feet. A rise in overall leasing activity in Westchester, to 594,502 square feet from 269,225 square feet in the first quarter, was attributed to the PepsiCo bottling division’s move from Somers to White Plains. Asking rent rates dropped by 11 cents per square foot and have remained relatively steady over the past six quarters. “What we saw for the second quarter of 2015 was the impact of small and midsized tenants, as well as how a single, large transaction can skew results,” said Robert Caruso, CBRE senior managing director of Westchester/Fairfield County operations. “Fairfield County was influenced by those midsized tenants, and Westchester County by many small-sized tenants and, of course, PepsiCo’s transaction in White Plains. We believe there is reason to be optimistic about the second half of 2015 in both counties.” Top Fairfield office deals included UBS’ lease of 119,216 square feet of space at 600 Washington Blvd. in Stamford, Catterton Partners’ lease of 32,291 square feet at 10 Glenville Road in Greenwich and a Stamford lease of 28,364 square feet by Robinson &

Cole LLP at 1055 Washington Blvd. The availability rate in Fairfield County dropped slightly, from 21.1 percent to 20.8 percent, between the first and second quarters. In Westchester, PepsiCo’s lease of 361,181 feet of space at 1111-1129 Westchester Ave. in White Plains dwarfed other top second-quarter office deals in the county. The Compass Group leased 25,927 square feet at 2 International Drive in Rye Brook. CBRE reported the next largest deal of the quarter was Mitsubishi Imaging’s lease for 22,627 square feet at 555 Theodore Fremd Ave. in Rye. — Evan Fallor

State offers money to boost Citrin Cooperman Corner Measuring Up: Assessing Your manufacturing training Company’s Talent

onnecticut is launching an initiative to ensure the manufacturing industry has a skilled workforce to draw from in the state. The Manufacturing Innovation Fund Apprenticeship Program will provide wage subsidies and tuition reimbursements to eligible companies in order to increase the number of apprentices in the state. The state Department of Economic and Community Development will fund the program as part of the Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Fund, a $30 million program created to strengthen the competitiveness of Connecticut’s manufacturing base. In May, the Manufacturing Alliance of Connecticut released a survey of more than 200 state companies that reported hiring talented employees is one of their biggest challenges. “This program will help residents find new jobs, provide employers with a new pool of workers and align education and training with the needs of manufacturers,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said in a statement. “The

training is all part of a comprehensive strategy to grow jobs.” Malloy said there are more than 200 apprentices in manufacturing working for 90 employers in the state but that there is room to grow. Registered apprenticeships combine a structured work schedule with related classroom instruction. Apprenticeships in manufacturing usually last up to four years and require 2,000 hours of on-the-job learning and 144 hours of classroom training per year. The Manufacturing Innovation Fund Apprenticeship Program is initially a twoyear, $7,800,000 program. To be eligible, Connecticut-based manufacturers must have been registered to conduct business for at least one year. Grants awarded through the program can range up to $13,000 for two years of wage subsidies, up to $3,750 in tuition reimbursement and up to $2,000 to offset the costs of gaining appropriate credentials for apprentices. The state Department of Labor will manage the apprenticeship program. — Danielle Brody

Hotel planned in Danbury

oldwell Banker Commercial’s Scalzo Group in Bethel has brokered the sale of 8.8 acres for a new Hotel Zero Degrees in Danbury to accompany two hotels under the same brand already running in Stamford and Norwalk. Financial terms were not disclosed. Hal Kurfehs, Scalzo Group vice president, made the announcement. The seller was Florida-based WCI Communities Rivington LLC and the buyer was Danburybased Development Asset Group. RMS Cos., based in Stamford, will construct and own the project, Kurfehs said.

The parcel is on the city’s west side — across the street from the new Regional Hospice & Home Care facility on Milestone Road — and was recently approved by Danbury for “an upscale boutique hotel,” with 111 rooms, a 100-seat restaurant and a 120-seat banquet facility, according to a statement from the Scalzo Group. “The hotel would be the same concept as the Hotel Zero Degrees brand that RMS Cos. have successfully developed in both Stamford and Norwalk,” the statement said. — Bill Fallon

GILBERT K. WATKINS

RENATA HOWARD

A company’s employees are one of its most important assets that can provide for future success and profitability. The workforce is also a significant expense that needs to be continually assessed so that the goals of the company can be achieved and aligned with the goals of its employees. There are two distinct yet intertwined pieces to assessing talent: - A company has to assess the talent it needs for a successful business plan - A company has to assess the talents of its employees The first point is identifying the employee skill sets that are needed (at all levels) by the company to provide that success. The second is evaluating employee talent and developing the traits that are necessary to help build a winning team for the business. These needs will differ based on the types of business (personal service vs. retail vs. manufacturing) and at different levels; but the approach will generally be similar. Everyone in a company needs to be working in the same direction. With that said, the company has to establish goals for itself. The goals can be short term, such as expanding into new markets within the next couple of years or developing certain expertise within a professional arena. As important, are longterm succession planning and other goals, such as making sure that the company develops the next generation of leaders so that they are ready to take the helm when the time comes. These company goals will become the basis for identifying the talent criteria needed by the company’s employees at all levels. Start by hiring the right people who best match the needed talent criteria. Does this person have the skills and technical knowledge needed for the job? Does this person have the potential to develop into a future leader? The assessment of talent begins here. The right fit provides a great start to assembling a dynamic team. Then the individual’s goals criteria should be clearly identified and understood by the employee and the company. Once the goals are in place, assessment commences. This includes: observation, evaluation, communication, and followthrough – both informally and formally. In order for the assessment process to be successful the formal processes have to be in place, such as setting performance expectations, creating measurable goals, evaluating performance, and having performance review meetings. Formal processes create accountability and

The informal assessment is continuous and can be woven into working with the employee. Informal observation and feedback puts an employee at ease and provides the evaluator the ability to connect with the employee on a less intimidating level. As new generations continue to enter the workforce, the way they view and receive feedback varies. The traditional approach to the review process will have to be revised for Generation Y (the “millennials”) and the emerging Generation Z. Companies need to recognize this when developing their assessment processes. The millennials want to receive constant, clear, and specific feedback on how they are doing. They expect immediate results and have a desire for fast advancement based on talent (not tenure). These expectations need to be recognized by the company and the assessment process, and as a result, should be properly tailored to reflect this shift in culture. A challenge of the talent assessment process is the ability to successfully identify employees based on their current performance versus their potential. High performance is very easily observable and it can overshadow the qualities and behaviors that characterize future potential in an individual. Mistaking high performers for high potential candidates can be costly, as not all high performers are high potentials who will be part of the business’ future growth. Organizations often end up focusing on performance; however, as they assess their talent, they need to identify both of these attributes. Both performance and potential are interdependent, and the key is assessing the employee in both aspects and developing a plan for the employee’s growth that will provide short-term and long-term results for the business. Talent assessment is a continuous and evolving process. The criteria for assessment is malleable; it should be modified as the company’s goals change or when the employee’s role will change, either as part of a development process or as new and desirable talents have been identified. It takes time to assess the company’s talent needs and the talent of the company’s employees. The longterm rewards, however, are worth the effort.

Greenwich chamber rallies at Hyatt

he Greenwich Chamber of Commerce’s July After Six event drew more than 100 chamber members and their guests to the sun-dappled patio of the Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich recently for cocktails, lobster rolls, chicken croquettes and — for the daring — fresh-made s’mores. Chamber President Marcia O’Kane, whose force-of-nature enthusiasm drives and enlivens chamber events, was away on family matters. The chamber’s Jim Hohorst, a three-year board member and the current board chairman and principal at Student Employment Software LLC, filled in, making the rounds and greeting guests. “Our goal is to help our members grow their businesses,” Hohorst said. “We rely a lot on what Marcia (O’Kane) calls A-P-C-E: advocate, promote, connect and educate. Tonight is all about the connection. “Businesses join for different reasons and that thinking generally changes over time,” he said. “The thinking when they join is to become part of the business community — the connection part. Many also have a strong desire to give back to the community. Once they are involved with the chamber, they look to us to promote their businesses and to introduce their products and services.” Hohorst said chamber get-togethers provide showcases for sponsors. The Hyatt sponsor was Ethan Allen Retail Inc. on West Main Street in Stamford. (The company’s international headquarters is in Danbury.)

participate in annual meetings with PURA and other public officials. House said they are still finalizing who will be involved, but he said it could include the governor or his designee, public utilities commissioners and the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. “In Connecticut our political leadership has made it clear that they would like to have some assurance, they want to be involved in this,” House said. “They need to be able to tell their constituents and the people of Connecticut there is a basic understanding of what the state of cybersecurity is and to make sure it’s adequate.” Utility companies said cybersecurity has become a larger focus for them and they are working with industry and federal groups in addition to PURA.

Elizabeth Godbout, spokeswoman for Stamford-based Frontier Communications, said that until recently, company CEO Maggie Wilderotter was chairwoman of the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, which provides industry advice to the U.S. government about critical infrastructure issues. Godbout said the telecommunications industry overall has increased attention to addressing cyber risks and threats. Frontier has devoted significant resources and energies to its cybersecurity efforts, she said. There are always new ways of infiltrating systems, so Frontier is constantly updating and adapting its cybersecurity capabilities, she said. “We need to be vigilant to protect consumers,” Godbout said. “We all understand the potential consequences that these threats pose to our economic and national security.” Frontier conducted a thorough risk assessment, analyzed threats and implemented security controls to reduce or

eliminate risk, she said. Once in place, the security plans need to be maintained and monitored. Michael West, spokesman for The United Illuminating Co., said the company is also involved with PURA and other groups where information is shared. Company CEO James Torgerson works with organizations under the North American Electric Reliability Corp. as the co-chairman of its Business Continuity Guideline Taskforce and as a member of its Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council. “He’s getting a first-hand view what everyone else is doing across the country,” West said of Torgerson. “We utilize some of those best practices.” West said United Illuminating has been involved with cybersecurity for “some time,” but it has become an increased focus. The team who works on cybersecurity employs defensive and offensive strategies and re-evaluates to make sure it has

the proper resources. House said it can be advantageous for utility companies to speak with PURA so the regulator understands cybersecurity costs and can better evaluate a rate increase. House does not know of any states that are proceeding in the same manner as Connecticut. Cybersecurity is a large issue for states to take on; they generally do not have cybersecurity experts on board and are often in “triage” dealing with their most urgent problems, House said. He said it is rare for someone in his position to have a background in security. At meetings with the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, there is a lot of interest in what Connecticut is doing, House said. “You hear about fights in government and accusations and hyperbole,” House said. “This is the opposite of that. This is public and private sectors coming together privately and constructively.”

Major accounting changes proposed for nonproﬁts

he Financial Accounting Standards Board announced in April proposed changes to reporting for nonprofit organizations nationwide that will impact the approximately 13,340 nonprofits registered with the state of Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection. The proposal represents the first major overhaul of nonprofit reporting requirements in more than two decades. The FASB, formed in 1973, serves as the standard-setting body that establishes accounting rules governing the preparation of financial reports by nongovernmental entities, including nonprofit organizations. Changes are expected to be widespread, affecting all areas of the financial statements. Here are a few of the significant changes.

NET ASSETS

statement is often cited as the most misunderstood statement. Key stakeholders frequently gloss over the statement of cash flows, considering it unreadable. The FASB’s proposed change would present the statement using the direct method, requiring the reporting of cash receipts from key revenue sources as well as disbursements to suppliers versus to employees for wages. It’s anticipated this change would provide a clearer presentation of cash in and out related to operations. Proponents argue the change to the cash flow statement would provide more useful information to key stakeholders, although some nonprofit advocates take issue with any change that would cause even greater disparity between reporting requirements of nonprofits versus for-profit businesses.

IMPACTS

These reporting changes will require an investment of time for nonprofits and their accountants to implement. Whenever there is any change to accounting rules, there are both benefits and costs. The FASB’s proposal comes at a time when stakeholders have increasingly complained improvements are needed to the financial statement presentation for nonprofits to provide better information for decision-makers regarding their financial performances, service efforts, need for external financing and stewardship of donor funds. The proposal has been years in the making, dating back to late 2009 with the formation of the Not-for-Profit Advisory Committee — a group formed to work with the FASB to focus on financial reporting issues affecting

the nonprofit sector. A handful of rule changes have passed in the years since the formation of the committee; the current proposal represents the most sweeping modification to nonprofit reporting requirements thus far. Nonprofits and accountants may view these changes as extra work in the short term. However, we can only hope nonprofits will reap the anticipated benefits of providing better information to decision-makers. The changes are expected to be effective for 2017.

He serves nonpro�its throughout Fair�ield County. He can be reached at nyanouzas@whcpa.com.

With multiple proposed changes on the table, the greatest impact would be from the elimination of the three classes of net assets, the reserves of a nonprofit organization – unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. If passed, nonprofits would have to report two classes of net assets, “net assets with donor restrictions” and “net assets without donor restrictions.” The current distinction between permanent restrictions and temporary restrictions has become blurred in recent years due to changes in state laws. Many states allow nonprofits to spend from permanently restricted endowment funds under certain circumstances. The FASB hopes simplifying the number of classes of net assets will improve understandability and reduce complexity.

INCOME STATEMENT

Another significant change would impact the statement of activities, which presents a nonprofit’s income and expenses. The proposed rule would require all nonprofits to report net income or loss from operating activities separate from nonoperating activities. This would more clearly show the income and costs directly related to accomplishing the mission of the organization. Nonoperating activities, such as investment earnings or losses, can distort the operating bottom line. This makes it difficult for an interested party to distinguish the financial performance directly related to the nonprofit’s mission.

CASH FLOWS

A change likely to stir the most controversy amongst nonprofit accountants is the proposed overhaul of the statement of cash flows, which identifies the organization’s sources and uses of cash. The cash flow

Boehringer to sell generic pharma business for $2.65B

idgefield-based Boehringer Ingelheim is selling its U.S. generic pharmaceutical business based in Ohio to Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC in a deal valued at about $2.65 billion. Hikma is a London-based company that develops, manufactures and markets branded and nonbranded generic and inlicensed products. It operates in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East and North

and royalties related to certain assets in Roxane’s development pipeline. In a press release, Boehringer Ingelheim said the deal would allow it to “retain a vested interest in the significant potential of Roxane, while focusing on growing its global core businesses in branded pharmaceuticals, consumer health care, animal health and biopharmaceuticals.”

After assessing its portfolio at the end of last year, Boehringer, a U.S. subsidiary of the Boehringer Ingelheim corporation based in Germany, decided to pursue strategic options for its generic pharmaceutical business. The company said the Roxane business will realize its growth potential under Hikma. — Danielle Brody

Doctors Express opens

FC Doctors Express Urgent Care, which operates 126 medical facilities in 26 states, recently opened a new center in Norwalk at 607 Main Ave. in the Center 7 Shopping Center, near the Department of Motor Vehicles. The Norwalk Doctors Express Urgent Care site is the fifth facility for the company in Fairfield County. Doctors Expresses are already running at 2 Main St. and 100 Mill Plain Road in Danbury, at 3000 Summer St. in Stamford and at 161 Boston Ave. in Bridgeport. A Doctors Express is slated to open in Fairfield in early October, the company said in a statement announcing the Norwalk ribbon-cutting. Attendees included Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling; Edward J. Musante Jr., president of the Greater Norwalk Chamber of Commerce; Mark Wasserman, company

Africa region. The company will purchase 100 percent stock in Roxane Labs Inc., the collective name for Boehringer’s generic pharmaceutical business, Roxanne Laboratories Inc., and its manufacturing supply chain affiliate, Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane Inc. Boehringer will receive cash and stock in Hikma. The $2.65 billion valuation comes from up-front payments, plus milestones

medical director; and business owner/partner Ken Goldberg. Goldberg, a Westport resident, said, “We hope to provide a convenient option for health care without the need for an appointment.” “Not only will Doctors Express Norwalk help reduce the burden of overworked emergency departments, but it will reduce the wait time for patients with non-life threatening emergencies,” Wasserman said. At the one-year anniversary for the Stamford site in June, AFC Doctors Express said that facility had treated more than 7,000 patients and, by operating in a nonhospital environment, had saved those patients a total $1 million in fees. The Norwalk urgent care center will be open seven days a week, weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. — Bill Fallon

Stamford medical company claims cancer breakthrough

n a recently released, peer-reviewed scientific paper, a Stamford company and a Colorado cancer center are claiming clinical success against so-called TRK fusion cancer. Stamford-based Loxo Oncology Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted cancer therapies, joined the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Aurora in a test of the drug LOXO-101. “TRK is increasingly recognized for its role in cancer biology, and this first peerreviewed clinical validation is an important step forward,” said Dr. Jennifer Low, chief medical officer of Loxo Oncology. The paper focused on an unnamed patient, with the results issued via the publication of a research brief in the online edition of the journal Cancer Discovery. The article’s theme is “describing the first patient with a tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion cancer enrolled in the Phase 1 dose escalation trial of LOXO-101, the only selec-

tive TRK inhibitor in clinical development.” The brief describes “a female patient with advanced soft tissue sarcoma widely metastatic to the lungs.” In a statement, Loxo Oncology said the patient’s cancer was demonstrated to harbor a TRK gene fusion. In the Phase 1 trial of LOXO-101 in March, Loxo reported, “The patient’s shortness of breath rapidly resolved and she was able to discontinue her supplemental oxygen and resume activities of daily living. Imaging studies following one month of treatment, the first imaging studies conducted post-treatment, confirmed that her tumors had substantially regressed, meeting a ‘partial response’ definition by standard RECIST 1.1 criteria.” Loxo said that after four months of the drug, “additional CT scans demonstrated almost complete tumor disappearance of the largest tumors. After 4 months of dosing, the patient did not have any adverse events that were attributed to LOXO-101.” — Bill Fallon

BANKING

community is diverse; first- or second-generation Spanish-speakers have different needs than an immigrant who is unfamiliar with the banking system. The community of more-sophisticated business professionals often requires more services, many that are not exclusive to the Hispanic community, said Fannie Aleman, vice president of Greater Hudson Bank and president of the Westchester Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “They need more resources; they need financing; they need more employees; and they don’t know how to take their business to the next level,” she said. Brenda Stuart-Luke, the senior stakeholder liaison in New York for the Internal Revenue Service who has been with the agency for 36 years, said some of the biggest outreach initiatives the IRS has pursued over the years in some immigrant communities are record-keeping and registering for an individual taxpayer identification number. An ITIN is a number in lieu of a Social Security number created by the IRS primarily for immigrants to file taxes. Stuart-Luke said these two items have been important for years because when individuals apply for citizenship, they have to produce these documents. “When they go to apply, they have to show five years of (tax) filing and if they have not used the right (ID) number,” she said, “they create a problem for themselves and other people.” But Milan Bhatt, executive director of Mamaroneck-based Hispanic Resource Center, said that individuals who use ITINs and other alternative forms of identification can run into problems. “It’s been a real issue and a real challenge especially for immigrants who don’t have status or can’t establish photo identification,” Bhatt said. “We’d like to see a lot of banks move in that direction to be able to accept other forms of ID.” Aleida M. Frederico, the senior relationship manager in commercial lending of TD Bank, said they try to work with individuals who can provide valid documentation, such as W-8 forms, which are filled out by non-U.S. residents who make an income in this country, ITINs, and secondary forms of identification, such as green cards, driver’s licenses or employee cards. Navigating tax filings, how to open bank

accounts and good business practices have become important topics for banks to communicate to their bilingual customers. “You have a newer population that might not feel as comfortable and that’s where some of us play a role in education,” she said, adding that focusing on financial education is the “key to helping everyone reach their goals.” Kevin Friedlander, Wells Fargo’s northeast spokesman, said the fastest-growing businesses in the country have diverse owners. Wells Fargo makes them aware of the lending options available, he said. For customers who are newer to banking, the bank offers bilingual education with workshops about buying a home, money management and wealth-building and an online course called Hands-On Banking, he said. Both TD Bank and Wells Fargo have Spanish versions of their websites and Spanish customer service representatives. Wells Fargo’s mobile application has a

Spanish language option. Reyno Giallongo, chairman and CEO of First County Bank, said that in the past few years the bank has translated company brochures into Spanish. Bilingual speakers work in the branches as tellers, in the trust and commercial lending departments and in the call center. The employees try to be sensitive not only to the language but also to the cultural differences in the community. “We strive to make sure that the customers are comfortable and they understand the transaction — it could be as simple as cashing a check over the counter or as complex as a loan transaction,” Giallongo said. The bank offers financial education in the school system and has had more requests to deliver it in Spanish at schools and at nonprofits, Giallongo said. John Kraus, senior vice president and senior commercial loan officer at Tompkins Mahopac Bank, said the bank works with local organizations that minority groups

have access to, such as Community Capital, a nonprofit alternative community lender serving the Hudson Valley and Fairfield County. The bank has started to do more outreach with nonprofits. “We do recognize the Hispanic community as a key contributor to our society and local economy,” Kraus said. “It’s not just great community relations, but great business practice.” And in just the last few months, StuartLuke, the IRS’ field outreach liaison, has also begun visiting the Greater New York region, starting in May when she visited Port Chester for a workshop. Stuart-Luke said that in addition to the seminars the agency is looking to bring north of New York City, the IRS has begun offering webinars about finance information in English, Spanish and Mandarin. “I’m trying really hard to push that there is an influx of people in these communities and why they need information,” she said.

A Whole New Experience For more than 90 years, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo has been providing wonderfully wild experiences through education, conservation, research and recreation programs. Consistently ranked as one of Connecticut’s top tourist attractions, the zoo welcomes more than 280,000 visitors annually, with education programs that reach an additional 50,000 students each year. Situated on grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, of Central Park fame, the zoo is home to more than 300 animals representing North and South America. Today, the Connecticut Zoological Society, with assistance from the city of Bridgeport and state of Connecticut, operates the zoo year-round. Our Zoomobile brings zoo animals and educational programs to communities across the state. August is a great time to visit. All month long Rainforest Reptiles Shows features exotic crawlers, unusual slithers and fascinating creepers with two shows daily Tuesday through Thursday and three show daily Friday through Sunday. Famous for getting everyone involved, Chris Rowlands will be on grounds for a limited engagement through Aug. 9. Rowlands brings animals to life through kid-friendly songs, dance, puppets and colorful props that teach and inspire young people. From taking a ride to taking a selfie, everyone loves our kissable camels. Visitors are invited to get up close and personal with these exotic creatures, which are staying with us through Labor Day. Best of all, we are excited to open our new Pampas Plains exhibit this month, featuring two giant anteaters. Follow us on Facebook to find out when you can see these amazing animals. Joining them on exhibit will be our Chicoan peccaries and greater rhea. There’s always something new happening at Connecticut’s only zoo!

Light Musical Comedy at the Beardsley Ellen Lieberman, creative director and Bert Garskof, producer, announce that CT Free Shakespeare (CFS) will return to Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo in early August with an adaptation of “Mornings of April and May,” a lighthearted, musicfilled comedy by Spain’s great Golden Age playwright, Pedro Calderon de la Barca. Lieberman and Garskof say they are overjoyed that, in its 16th year, their theater company will be returning to the zoo’s Peacock Pavilion. Actors are courtesy of Actor’s Equity. Admission is free. “Mornings of April and May” will run from Wednesday, Aug. 5, through Sunday, Aug. 9, 6-8 p.m. Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is at 1875 Noble Ave., Bridgeport. The zoo closes to visitors at 4 p.m., but will reopen at 5:15 p.m. before shows. The audience is advised to come early for the best seating. Bring a blanket or chairs. It is traditional to picnic ahead of time. Cancelled only when weather is severe. CFS was founded in 2000 as an oﬀshoot of Dandelion Productions. It is a nonprofit theater company whose mission is to produce free-to-the-public professional works of classical theater in an accessible, skillful, imaginative American style that honors the playwright’s language and intentions

and that crafts these plays with a 21st-century sensibility. CFS is committed to mounting productions that make Shakespeare and other great playwrights accessible to a broad range of audience members, including those not familiar with their work, without jeopardizing artistic integrity.

Ellen Gordon at the Mayor’s Gallery The Mayor’s Gallery at 888 Washington Blvd. in Stamford is pleased to showcase a retrospective of artwork by Stamford resident Ellen Gordon. The exhibition features a selection of figurative collages, drawings and landscapes. Her work is inspired by her drawings from private sessions with her model. The collection on display speaks about the creative magic that happens when inspiration and form collide. The artwork itself is the result of a searching process — finding the shapes and lines in both the figure and the landscape and transcribing those lines into contemporary compositions. Ellen Gordon’s art training is from the Greenwich Art Society, Silvermine Arts Guild and the Rowayton Arts Centre. She holds an undergraduate degree from Boston University and a master’s degree from Baruch College in New York City. She has exhibited regionally and is the recipient of many awards, including Best in Show 2013 in the 96th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Bendheim Gallery of the Greenwich Arts Center and the 2009 National Faber Birren Color Award Exhibition at the Stamford Art Society as well as the George W. McClellan Award for Watercolor from the Greenwich Arts

Society at the Flinn Gallery in 2011. Gordon is the president of the Loft Artists Association in Stamford and serves on the board of the Greenwich Art Society. For more about the artist and her work, visit ellensgordon.com

Can Employers Delegate I-9 Form Responsibilities?

he state mailed special assessment bills August 1 to employers for interest due on $810 million in federal funds that Connecticut borrowed six years ago to pay unemployment insurance benefits during the recession. This year’s special assessment will be $3 per full-time employee—less than half of the $7.50 that was assessed last year. However, Connecticut still owes Uncle Sam $102 million. State Department of Labor officials now predict this debt will be retired by Nov. 2016. Federal law does not allow the interest to be paid from funds employers pay into the state’s UI Trust

Fund, so state law provides for a separate billing to collect the funds needed to pay interest charges. Employers from Connecticut and many other states have been paying this assessment since 2011. The notices will be dated Aug. 1, and employers will have 30 days from that date to make payment in order to avoid an interest charge. Those that do not make full payment within 60 days will be subject to a fine.  Read more at gov.cbia.com

We occasionally have to hire employees who reside in a distant community and will be working remotely. If we don’t have a manager in the employee’s area to review documents and complete Immigration Form I-9, can we delegate that responsibility to someone else not employed by our company? All U.S. employers are required to verify the identity and employment authorization of each person they hire. For each employee, they must complete and retain a federal Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, indicating that they have:  Examined the employment eligibility and identity documents presented by the applicant or new hire  Determined whether the documents reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual By signing the form, employers attest under penalty of perjury that they have completed these tasks. The Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services’ Handbook for Employers, Instructions for Completing Form I-9, clearly states that it is permissible to designate someone, such as a notary public, to perform these tasks on your behalf.

It’s important, however, to have a clear understanding of delegated responsibility and realize that if a problem arises, you as the employer are liable for any violations in connection with the form or verification process. You are also liable if an employee later turns out to be illegally employed. If you designate an authorized representative to view a new hire’s employment authorization and identity documents, that person must carry out full Form I-9 responsibilities, including physically examining original documents in the presence of the applicant. In addition, the representative must sign Section 2 of Form I-9 as an attestation to their having examined the new hire’s documents and that in their judgment, such documents reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the person presenting them. You cannot contract for a third party to view the new hire’s documents while you complete Section 2 of Form I-9 yourself. Nor is it permissible for you to review copies (fax or scanned) of the documents as the basis for signing Section 2.  HR Hotline is a free service for CBIA members. Call 860.244.1900.
