05/01/09 How Did The Greenwich "King Of The AP Reports" Time Miss An AP Report About A Jobless Greenwich Man
Greenwich man, others across the country, struggle through the ...
Connecticut Post
And in Greenwich, home to hedge fund billionaires, it's David Rabin, who lost his $100,000 job last October as a senior vice president for a small financial services firm. He spends part of his morning in his basement, job hunting.
In better times, Rabin would be preparing for his annual spring golfing trip with three buddies at his condo in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Instead, the 48-year-old Rabin, wearing jeans, a blue hockey sweat shirt and white sneakers, is poring over Monster.com and other online job boards. He sends out 10 resumes a day, but has had few nibbles in six months.
A day earlier, he learned he didn't get a job recruiting members for a gym. That hurt.
"I didn't sleep a freakin' wink," he said. "If I don't fit that job, what the hell am I going to do?"
Rabin's wife, Lauren, has a marketing job. And he receives $476 weekly unemployment -- about a quarter of his former salary -- that runs out in July. Both checks keep them afloat.
Rabin copes by keeping busy. He and Lauren compile a daily list of chores. Each time he completes one, he checks off a box.
Today's list: Drive his 19-year-old son to school. Search online for cheaper auto and home insurance. (No luck there.) Look for work; his target area has expanded to Buffalo, N.Y., Ohio and Florida -- any city where he has friends or relatives. Walk the dog. Buy flip flops for his Florida-bound wife. Work out at the YMCA. Paint the basement.
"You have no idea how humbling all this is," he said. "It's extremely humbling. I'm ready to go to Stop & Shop and start bagging groceries."
"I've been in this situation before and I wasn't nearly as frightened," he said. "This is the Great Recession we're in." ...

05/01/09 TAKE COVER: Hurricane Betty Is Headed For Waterbury
Torrington school board names 4th superintendent candidate Waterbury Republican American
TORRINGTON — School officials confirmed Thursday that Greenwich School Superintendent Betty J. Sternberg is the fourth candidate seeking the interim superintendent's post here.
The board interviewed three candidates Wednesday night: former business manager and interim superintendent Edward Arum, former Orange superintendent Wayne Sweeney, and former Colebrook superintendent David R. Wittmer.
Acting personnel committee Chairman Brian Mattiello confirmed Thursday that Sternberg is the fourth candidate, and he is optimistic an interview can be arranged by next week.
The board is seeking an interim schools chief to take over July 1, when Acting Superintendent Barbara Campbell will return to her assistant superintendent's post.
The interim will serve until a permanent replacement is found for Susan W. O'Brien, and that search is expected to be concluded in six months.

By Rob Varnon
FAIRFIELD -- Five public relations experts, with more than 100 years of combined experience, have formed a new firm, PR Synergy Plus.
"We all know each other," said Deborah Burns, PR Synergy's managing principal. The five formed a consortium a few years ago to discuss best practices and ideas, but decided to formalize the relationship to take advantage of each other's strengths.
PR Synergy is a holding company for the five firms the founders run independently. Burns owns Burns Communications of Fairfield, with expertise in wealth management and branding; Victor Emmanuel runs VJE Consultants of Port Chester, N.Y., specializing in business-to-business marketing and crisis management; Nancy Moon of Fairfield owns Moon Public Relations, focusing on sports marketing and green initiatives; Jenifer Howard, owner of Greenwich-based J. Howard Public Relations, concentrates on food, beverage and arts and music promotions; and Kelley Connors, of KC Healthcare Communications of Norwalk, focuses on health care public relations.
Although all are full-service firms, Emmanuel said the new partnership allows him and his colleagues to offer experience in specific areas to existing and new clients. That strategy can help them keep clients and win new ones, he said.
"They might as well hang together, they're hanging alone," Jack O'Dwyer, public relations industry watchdog, said about the new firm.....
....PR Synergy and its members have done work for US Trust, Rockit Solutions of Stamford, Edy's Ice Cream, Microsoft, the NFL Players Association and other companies, large and small. Burns said fees depend upon the needs of the client.
"Clients can work with PR Synergy Plus members one-on-one, as a small team, or when projects demand, as a scaled up full-service agency," she said "We will work on a project for a retainer fee basis. Our minimum monthly retainer fee is between $5,000 to $7,500 per month for a basic PR program and minimum six-month contract. As far as account structure, whomever brings in the business will direct the business and determine which PR Synergy Plus team members are the best fit to meet client's specific needs."......
