06/14/10 Desperate Hearst Newspaper Editor David McCumber Is Coping Greenwich Roundup In An Effort To Ad Some Excitement To The Boring Greenwich Time

ONLY IN THE SUNDAY PRINT EDITION OF THE GREENWICH TIME

CLICK TO ENLARGE IMAGE

Greenwich Roundup Had To Dig This Copy Of The Money Losing Greenwich Time From A Neighbor's Recycling Bin

Day after day Greenwich Roundup grows exponentially as the money losing Greenwich Time is continually run in the Ground by Hearst Newspapers.

The Greenwich Time has five editors in less than two years and each editor has left the money losing local rag in a worse condition than he originally found it.

The current editor David McCumber has performed no better than the other incompetent editors that preceded him.

First MCumber reformatted and relaunched the Greenwich Time Website, then he did the same to print version. Then he once again reformatted and relaunched the website again in late February.

But nothing was working so last month Greenwich Time Editor David McCumber reformatted and relaunch the print edition once again.

Now McCumber has thrown out the Hearst Newspaper style book and started coping Greenwich Roundup's signature posting style ....

YES IT IS TRUE >>>> Greenwich Time Editor David McCumber has copied Greenwich Roundup ........ and added some text in different sized letters in a variety of different colors, FONTS and sizes

Greenwich Roundup should have trade marked putting text in stupidly-sized letters in a variety of different colors, fonts and sizes.

06/14/10 Dan Debicella: Campaign Update

Dear Friends,

Our campaign continues to forge ahead and thanks to you our last week was a productive one!

Yesterday myself and our volunteers were in Redding for the Georgetown Festival and on Saturday we were in Southport for the annual Blessing of the Fleet. Following that, I had the honor of attending the CT Fallen Heroes event in Trumbull. It was a powerful event and I’m proud to have been there with so many families to honor their brave loved ones who are no longer with us.

Our team also had a presence at the Black Rock Parade in Bridgeport, and our volunteers knocked on doors in four different towns.

This coming week there are a number of key events. I will be holding meet & greets in Darien and Greenwich. Plus, I’m attending events and meetings in Bridgeport, Ridgefield, Norwalk, and Westport. If you’re interested in learning more about these events, please email me at info@debicella.com.

In other news, we continue to forge ahead to November and a face-off with Jim Himes. Our volunteers – led by our outstanding field coordinators - are on the phones every day and they were even out knocking on doors in the rain. If you’re interested in getting involved in our campaign to bring common sense solutions to Washington, you can sign up to volunteer here.

Thank you for all of your help and support as we march toward November.

All my best,

-Dan

06/14/10Rick Torres Contrasts Himself From Competitor In The Primary That Will Determine Who Will Take On Greenwich Resident And Congressman Jim Himes

Rick Torres, candidate in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional district, has highlighted what he believes to be the critical distinctions between him and his rivals in the race.

Anyone who runs for office to better our country deserves respect, only certain policies warrant support.

Labels are too often misleading, which is why policies matter.

To illustrate, Torres points to a press release by rival Rob Merkle, who professes to be a fiscal conservative.

In the release, Merkle claims to be a ‘”small business owner who strives to reduce the size, reach and burden of the federal government.”

“His policies do anything but reduce the size of government,” Torres notes. “He is merely another big-government Republican.”

Torres points to just two of the many big government solutions Merkle advocates:

1. In a poor attempt to 'help' the economy, Merkle praises the SBA loan program. “The Small Business Administration is a government agency which actually takes taxpayer monies and decides who to loan it to. It is another form of corporate welfare,” Torres says.

2. Another of Merkle’s poor attempts to revive the economy is virtually identical to the 'jobs plan' of Barack Obama. It is to “mandate” banks to make loans to small businesses. Torres points out that banks are private enterprises.

“Government mandating banks to give loans to property owners resulted in the near collapse of our economy. Yet Merkle wants the government to repeat this same mistake and hopes for a different outcome.”

“These policies led to the budget deficits, tax increases and unemployment we have today. We cannot spend our way out of a recession or tax our way to prosperity. Clearly, a conservative should know this,” Torres asserted.

06/14/10 Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust Earns Coverage in Leading Financial & Business Publication

Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust has earned coverage in a leading U.S. publication for business and finance, the bank announced today. The June 14, 2010 issue of Fortune includes a feature article which describes the bank's unique launch, and details the founders' vision and dedication to service to its Member customers.

The article may be found online at the Fortune magazine's Web site: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/ (search for "The Millionaire Boys' Bank"). The article is written by Carol J. Loomis, a veteran financial journalist.

"Rarely in the launch of any new business, and certainly any new bank, is there such a focus on that business from one of the nation's most heralded journals of finance and capitalism," said Dan Donahue, Chairman and CEO, Fieldpoint Private. "However, Fortune magazine has provided Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust just with such coverage -- chronicling our startup and first two years of rapid growth from our bank's Greenwich home, based on a marketplace need for high-level service which all our Founders have built into our mission."

Donahue also noted that the story included a reference to the bank's planned expansion into New York City, and added that a branch will open in early 2011.

Among excerpts noted in the Fortune story:

"The founders... are for the most part a who's who of business..."
"Most especially, says Donahue, they [the bank's initiators] sought 'nice' people [as founders] with a record of backing charitable causes..."

"... the world needed a new private bank to serve people just like themselves: high-net-worth individuals wanting good service and not always getting it from their existing providers."

"Success, in this case, has tagged along. Fieldpoint has grown -- virtually sprinting in 2009 and 2010 -- to $345 million in assets... Overall, Fieldpoint is cash-flow positive right now and expects to become profitable in the next couple of months."
"It is in fact very unusual to have a 'wealth bank' to be established... Fieldpoint, having success in getting its banking charter, seems to lack competitors that it can be compared with."

"... Fieldpoint's opportunity lies in the failings of many existing private banks. [Founder Daniel Tully] and Donahue had heard tales from wealthy friends of poor advice and frustrating service that descended in some extreme, and perhaps apocryphal, cases to customers being unable to get a real person on the phone when they called their banks. (Let it be noted that Fieldpoint's private bankers give their cellphone numbers to their customers and say they'll take a call 24/7.)"

"Donahue says the bank gained depositors who were running from banks... and saw Fieldpoint as a safe harbor."

"Now on the board of Fieldpoint, [Reginald] Brack also raves about its services. The bank helped him revise an outdated estate plan, refinanced his daughter's apartment, put him together with outside money managers he likes, and holds a lot of his cash."

"Certainly, we are proud to serve each and every Fieldpoint Private Member uniquely, with a level of service that is unsurpassed," Donahue said. "We have assembled a top-notch team at our bank -- and all our wealth management services are 'conflict-free' where investment decisions are based purely on the interest of each Member. To have our launch story told in such detail is both humbling and yet at the same time a proud testament to our service -- and performance-driven mission."

"We are thrilled with the article and recognition," Donahue said, "only the title of the article doesn't do our women shareholders, who love the bank also, any justice. Simply the word 'millionaire' would suffice."
