Wuji founders use their track record to reimagine Chinese food

HEAVY ON THE DETAILS, LIGHT ON THE SALT

otes to would-be restaurateurs: When mopping the floor, clean the stainless steel bases of tables by hand; mops leave marks. Hire local chefs; for Chinese food that means a Hong Kong pedigree. Play rock and reggae refracted as bossa nova. In a nutshell, provoke the senses; the last thing you want is ambivalence.

The Wuji décor is an obvious starting point. “We wanted to avoid that traditional fish-tank style interior,” Pennette said. “It used to be exotic, but now it feels dated. It’s neither interesting enough nor evocative enough of the culture.”

Baby steps in a big way

REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY REMAINS IN STRIDE WITH MARCH OF DIMES THE 20TH ANNUAL MARCH OF Dimes Fairfield County Real Estate Award breakfast drew a packedhouse crowd of 700 to the Hilton Stamford Hotel & Executive Meeting Center recently.

Transportation lock box falls short BUDGET AMENDED — MEASURE FAILS TO GET HOUSE SUPPORT

BY KEN DIXON Hearst Connecticut Media

H

ours after the state Senate unanimously approved a proposed constitutional amendment Tuesday to protect transportation funding, the measure failed to pass in the House of Representatives with the support required to put it on the 2016 statewide ballot.

Instead, the 100-40 House vote means that a constitutional amendment will not reach voters until the 2018 gubernatorial election, if the General Assembly approves the proposal that year. It needed 114 votes on Tuesday — three-quarters of the House — to present the question to state voters next year.

Veteran Rep. Bob Godfrey, D-Danbury, an opponent of highway tolls, voted against the constitutional amendment. He warned that the bill would push the state toward the return of a toll system.

“It doesn’t work,” he said of the goal of to protect the transportation fund from being raided by cash-strapped future lawmakers.

“It’s a paper tiger. It’s a set-up for putting up tolls in the state of Connecticut.”

The House on Tuesday voted 75-65 to approve budget adjustments that the Senate had approved, mostly along party lines, a few hours earlier. The current $20 billion budget will be adjusted by about $350 million, including about $196 million in cuts and $136 million in new revenue.

The state House and Senate both approved the following budget adjustments on Tuesday

F

that include $68M from Medicaid payments in the Department of Social Services; $12M from magnet schools; $6M from the Department of Developmental Services; $4M from the General Assembly; $2.6M from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection; $2M from statewide marketing, $26,000 from Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport and $18,000 from the state’s witness protection program.

The legislation will adjust the budget that takes effect next July 1 by more than $193 million, and include a $19 million reduction in a controversial corporate tax that had drawn the ire of companies, including Fairfieldbased General Electric.

House Minority Leader Themis Klarides, R-Derby, said she was glad Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Democrats invited Republicans to discuss a potential bipartisan bill. But in the end, GOP lawmakers wanted more in the way of long-term structural changes, including a stringent cap on spending and the legislative power to reject union contracts.

“The people of this state do not trust us,” Klarides said. “They don’t trust us because we have not proven we’re able to do the job we were elected to do.”

Democrats have a 21-15 majority in the Senate and a 87-64 edge in the House.

“Ninety percent of this package was agreed to on both sides of the aisle,” House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, said at the end of the debate.

Malloy agreed.

“While we couldn’t achieve a bipartisan vote, we had a bipartisan process to lead us

to the vote tonight,” the governor said in a statement after the House vote.

State Sen. L. Scott Frantz, R-Greenwich, warned it might be too late to stop the migration of wealthy Fairfield County residents.

He described two couples in the lucrative private-investment industry, acquaintances of his, who are planning to leave.

“While we couldn’t achieve a bipartisan vote, we had a bipartisan process to lead us to the vote tonight.”

— Gov. Dannel P. Malloy

“Our tax base is leaving the state of Connecticut,” Frantz said. “It’s irrefutable, what’s going on in this state. If we don’t get this right, there’s not going to be a future for the state of Connecticut.”

“If the wealthy of Connecticut who love this state and love the quality of life can take their wealth elsewhere because we’re not being responsible with the tax dollars that they’re paying, what’s that tell you?” asked

Sen. Michael A. McLachlan, R-Danbury. “If we keep kicking the money generators, the wealth generators, the job generators, we’re really kicking ourselves.”

The budget restores about half of the unilateral cuts to state hospitals that had been ordered by Malloy during recent months, as shortfalls in revenue increased the size of the deficit in the first year of the biennial budget. Malloy originally cut hospitals by $192 million, but then restored $14 million for smaller hospitals, including Griffin Hospital in Derby.

Both bills originated in the Senate.

During the House debate, Rep. Gail Lavielle, R-Wilton, said the transportation proposal had some weaknesses that would allow the General Assembly ways to change the funding stream.

“I do think it can be stronger,” said Lavielle, who voted for the bill along with 25 other Republicans.

Rep. Mitch Bolinsky, R-Newtown, said he wished the transportation-funding bill did not include so many weaknesses.

“This is not a lockbox,” he said. “This is a colander. We can do a whole lot better.”

Republicans attempted to make two changes to rules. One of the proposals would have changed the way lawmakers vote on union contracts; and the other would have required a recalculation of the state’s constitutional cap on spending. The measures failed in the Democrat-dominated House and Senate.

First County largesse tops half-million-dollar mark

irst County Bank Foundation in Stamford recently hosted its seventh annual Celebration of Mutual Partnerships at The Landing in Stamford to highlight the foundation’s 2015 grant awards to 88 nonprofits.

The organizations received a total $544,000 in grants from the First County Bank Foundation to support their missions.

Since its inception in 2001, the foundation has awarded individual grants totaling more than $7 million. Last year, it awarded more than 100 grants totaling almost $600,000.

“The Foundation is proud to support these worthy charitable organizations which provide essential services to improve the lives of people in the local communities they serve,” said Rey Giallongo, president of

First County Bank Foundation. “Much can be accomplished to positively impact our local community when businesses and individuals work together to support programs that ensure basic needs such as education and housing are met.”

The money is supporting efforts that include services for the elderly and the young, the hungry, the disabled, first responders and those in need of transportation.

The featured speaker was Jon Simons, vice president, Donor by Design, whose topic was “Please Stop Asking for Money – Unique Ways to Approach Fund Development.”

Simons addressed the fear, discomfort and apprehension often associated with fund raising.

T

he Stamford Innovation Center’s annual holiday party recently attracted nearly 150 guests for a night of celebration and networking as the center celebrated three years of connecting and fostering entrepreneurs from Stamford and throughout the region.

Going into its fourth year, media content specialist Sarah Waddell said the organization has experienced exponential growth with huge increases in the amount of networking and educational events the center has hosted.

“It has been a great year for us,” she said.

The group held its first Hackathon this year, pulling together more than 100 software developers, programmers and techentrepreneurs to develop a 3-D map of Stamford.

The center, in the grand old municipal building on Atlantic Street, is finding its stride as seen in the ranks of entrepreneurs who make use of its co-working spaces and take advantage of business resources and networks, said Peter Propp, the center’s chief marketing officer.

“We are now getting to the point, three plus years into the business, where we are pulling things together in a logical sequence so people can get inspired by a speaker, go to a Hackathon and play around with technology, come back a month later to build a company idea at a startup weekend and maybe come be a coworker and present their idea and get invested,” Propp said.

Tree McDermot is just such an example, having originally become involved with the center as a programmer wanting to expand her skills two years ago, she was quickly inspired to pursue her own business thanks to the myriad resources and information provided by at the center, she said.

“I didn’t know if it was just a crazy idea,” she said. “I would have never even had the idea if I hadn’t come here.”

Her custom clothing design business, Tree’s Clothing, has been operational for just a few months and is navigating the challenges of a startup business, but McDermot is optimistic for the company’s future.

“So far so good,” she said. “I ran out of budget, so I am on hold at the moment, but it’s alive and I’m looking to get more word out there.”

bronze and “Fund the Mission” sponsorships, 60 in all.

The 2015 breakfast alone brought in $56,000 via texting NICU to 41444. (NICU — an acronym for neonatal intensive care unit — is a common reference at March of Dimes events and is pronounced nickew.) The top donation by text won a three-course lunch and cooking demonstration for up to 15 persons with Chef Stephen Lewandowski at Harlan Publick in Norwalk.

“The Real Estate Award Breakfast honors outstanding individuals or companies whose commercial real estate activities have significantly enhanced the local community,” March of Dimes said in a prepared statement.

“We are proud to recognize Forstone for their area revitalization efforts and applaud their principals for their leadership and community advocacy,” said Ed Tonnessen, chairman of the Real Estate Awards committee and executive managing director at Jones Lang LaSalle.

Stamford Mayor David Martin offered an upbeat appraisal of the host city’s health, noting citywide unemployment had fallen from 5.1 percent a year ago to 4.1 percent now. He cited $6 billion in construction now underway and an apartment occupancy rate of 96 percent. “The reason our rents are so high is because our occupancy rates are astronomical,” he said.

Martin ticked off a number of scientific breakthroughs — the theory of relativity, the development of penicillin and the polio vaccine — and said March of Dimes progress is fueled by science. “I take it as a great disappointment that ignorance of science is seen by some as a way to be more popular today,” he said.

Martin said science was not about faith, but investing in science nonetheless demonstrated a worthy faith in the scientific process. “How quaint, my parents and grandparents put those dimes into those cardboard boxes on store counters,” he said. “Their faith in science obliterated polio. It changed the world.”

New evolution in part-time job placement gains traction

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

Q

uadJobs, a Greenwich-based job matching service connecting employers looking to fill part-time jobs with college students, recently ramped up its efforts to reach a goal of filling 10,000 job listings. The effort is paying off, lifting the number of total connections to more than 6,200 in the last few months.

Led by founders Bridie Loverro, Andra Newman and Betsy O’Reilly, in September the company decided to remove the monthly fee of $8.95 employers had been required to pay to list their job offers. The move was designed to reduce some of what was perceived as friction and impediment to bringing new user-employers onto the site, Loverro said.

The resulting growth has bordered on explosive, she said.

“It has been very successful in terms of bringing employers and getting them to post jobs,” she said. “This has translated to more student engagement because they see more jobs.”

Through the site, employers list jobs ranging from babysitting and bartending to graphic design and marketing opportunities.

Students, who register with the site for free, can then browse the opportunities and apply for the jobs.

Just entering its second year of operation, the website has been a hit with students, as well, Loverro said. The site currently boasts a pool of more than 8,000 students, representing 400 schools across the tristate region who are willing to take on hourly work at the click of a button. Of this pool, more than 6,000 students are based in Fairfield and Westchester counties alone, Loverro said.

Because students travel across the country for the holidays, the service has also sprung up outside the region, including in Chicago and on Long Island, she said.

Mike DeGennaro, a 22-year-old graduate student studying accounting at Fairfield University, said the flexibility the site provides is exactly why he has worked more than a dozen jobs through the site and has spread the word to friends who have become members, as well.

“I spend a lot of time studying,” he said.

“QuadJobs gives me the opportunity to work when I have the time instead of a strict schedule that I have to follow. I know there are a lot of students who get part-time jobs and they end up being forced to work when they are busy, and then when they are not busy they can’t find the right amount of hours.”

For both students and employers, the service is all about getting what you need, when you need it, Loverro said.

Loverro expects to hit the mark of 10,000 job connections by January as the organiza-

tion is seeing a huge increase in activity around the holidays, she said.

Once at 10,000, the company will go back to a pay-to-play model for employers and charge $7 for one-time users and $25 for a yearly subscription to the service, she said.

With steady growth, Loverro said she sees her company as uniquely positioned to expand and capitalize on the trends and demographics that are propelling the emerging on-demand economy — currently led by industry pioneers like ride-sharing innovator Uber and accommodations industry disruptor AirBnB. “Our business is a marriage of a very old-school concept — word of mouth of neighbors — and basically brought that to the digital era and married it with the huge trend of on-demand economies,” she said. “We have kind of automated it in a way that could have

never been done before.”

The service also sets itself apart from a typical job board by providing reviews and data tracking of student performance, which enables students to quantify their part-time work and parlay it into measured real-world experience, she said.

QuadJobs is not the first to enter the parttime job placement arena and likely will not be the last, said economist Pete Gioia of the

Connecticut Business & Industry Association.

“These sorts of interactions of people and intermediaries who have captured the power of web and online, we are just going to see this continue. We see this throughout the economy,” Gioia said. “The use of the Internet to connect people with opportunities, whatever they might be, is definitely something that is growing, has been growing and will continue to grow.”

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Hire for passion instead of the task Just had to let people go because they didn’t care enough about doing a great job.

Our customers felt it and went elsewhere, which means we lost revenue and profits.

Obviously we made a mistake hiring and/ or training people. How can we avoid those mistakes in the future?

Thoughts of the Day: When searching for new hires, lead with what your business is all about. Find job candidates who are already passionate about what your company does.

Stop looking for last-minute job fillers. Make sure that current employees are good role models and start new hires on the right foot.

Advertise your company as well as the position when hiring. Make what your company does stand out. Look for people who want to talk to you about that. Be aware that people who come in looking for a job are different from people who are on a mission to apply themselves to specific kinds of work and market needs.

Look carefully at the background of people. Have they gone out of their way to learn about your company’s field of interest?

Courses? Internships? Volunteered? If there is no connection, suggest that candidates seek out opportunities to learn about what

your company does. Wait to see if they do. It’s okay to give out specific suggestions on ways to learn more about your industry. Offer to stay in touch, but take a pass on hiring until they show interest.

Most hiring mistakes happen when the company is desperate to hire, with no ready candidates. Look realistically at who might be with you a year from now and who might be gone.

Always be on the lookout for people who are passionate about the work you care about. Build a Rolodex of people to keep an eye on, from entry level to senior management. Go to industry conferences. Ask for referrals. Look for people who demonstrate drive and dedication, who take pride in what they do.

Look at the young-professionals network for your industry. Line up candidates who are just getting their careers off the ground.

Offer internships to find entry-level candidates who might want to grab on to your company’s dreams. Focus on people who want to know more about the mission and the opportunity that goes along with taking a job at your company.

Look for people who:

• see challenges as having had a positive effect on their lives; • can face adversity and turn it into opportunity; • find a way to win, even in difficult circumstances; • know what it is to be appreciated; • generally perform at a higher level because they expect more of themselves.

Once you’ve hired the right candidates, create an environment in which they can thrive. Have someone in charge of being the primary mentor for each new employee, make them your brand ambassador. Have them build a positive working and coaching relationship with each of their mentees.

Make sure you, your employees and managers continuously pay attention to the needs of others. Provide tough feedback when warranted. At the same time, express reassurance and concern for each person’s well-being.

Give people time and opportunity to learn more about what your company does.

Nurture and feed their curiosity. Intersperse learning with doing.

Send people to classes, industry conferences and workshops so they can grow their

skills. Encourage people to practice. Look for people who readily engage and who use a schedule to get in enough practice hours.

Look for people who seek out opportunity to improve. Reward people by increasing their knowledge so that they can contribute more and have a greater role in the future.

Encourage downtime. People need to get away to recharge. Look for people who value time away, but also can’t wait to get back after recharging. Start in interviews to look for this pattern of downtime and reengagement, accompanied by a long-term commitment to seeing things through.

he U.S. Department of Defense has announced Maryland-based Lockheed Martin’s recently acquired unit, Sikorsky Aircraft of Stratford, has won a modification contract to deliver 29 MH-60R helicopters worth $354.2 million.

The defense department states that the contract was awarded to provide funding for the Navy’s fifth program year for the helicopters as well as for associated program and logistics support.

According to Lockheed Martin, the MH-60R (Romeo) is the world’s most advanced maritime helicopter and is deployed today with the U.S. Navy as the primary anti-submarine warfare anti-surface weapon system for open ocean and coastal zones. The adaptable aircraft is able to operate from frigates, destroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers and is found in military arsenals around the world.

Lockheed serves as the integrator for the MH-60R’s Common Cockpit Avionics Suite — the Romeo’s nerve center — and other systems, while Sikorsky manufactures the airframe.

Work on the project is expected to be complete on Dec. 31, 2017, and the work will be performed in Stratford.

Lockheed Martin bought Sikorsky for $9 billion in November. Sikorsky was formerly owned by United Technologies in Hartford.

Building cleaners OK potential strike

he 32BJ Service Employees International Union of janitors in the Hudson Valley and Fairfield County voted Dec. 5 to authorize a potential strike if an agreement can’t be reached for an expiring contract.

About 1,000 commercial building cleaners met at the Westchester County Center Dec. 5 to vote on the strike option, which is a routine vote during contract negotiations.

Talks between the union and employers, known collectively as the Hudson Valley/ Fairfield County Contractors Association, began Nov. 18.

The current contract went into effect in 2012 and is set to expire Dec. 31. It affects about 3,500 union members who work in nearly 300 buildings in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange and

make more than that — as well as increasing the number of full-time worker hires and keeping health insurance benefits for fulltime employees.

The Contractors Association, which is made up of numerous contractors including ABM Industries Inc. and United Services of America Inc., said in a prepared statement that it is committed to reaching a mutually beneficial agreement for all involved parties.

“We recognize that, in these economic times, customers need to manage costs very carefully,” the statement said. “We will continue to work hard at the bargaining table, and we’re confident that we will achieve a successful contract settlement.”

The next bargaining meeting is scheduled for Dec. 10.

Former CBRE executive joins Friedland

F

riedland Realty Advisors in Westchester County has named Sarah Jones-Maturo, a former commercial office broker at CBRE Group Inc. in New Jersey, as president of the company.

Jones-Maturo, who has spent her 10-year career at CBRE, most recently as first vice president in its Saddle Brook, N.J., office, will oversee day-to-day operations at Friedland Realty with a particular focus on recruiting and internal training efforts, the company announced. She will work beside Robert Friedland, founder and CEO of the 45-year-commerical realty firm, at its Harrison headquarters.

Friedland had served as both president and CEO after stepping back into the posts following the departure last spring of Ayall Schanzer after one year as head of the company.

The company last month announced that Robert Martin Co., the real estate investment, development and management company headquartered in Elmsford, had acquired a significant ownership stake in Friedland Realty. The two companies will continue to operate separately.

Jones-Maturo in the announcement said she is “eager to help enhance the company’s strong brand throughout the tri-state area and look forward to building on our current strengths in all divisions and markets.”

At CBRE, Jones-Maturo represented clients such as Sprint, Sony, Dow Jones and Aeropostale. In 2014 and 2015 alone, she brokered deals for more than 1 million square feet of office space, according to Friedland Realty. Last year, the graduate of the College of Holy Cross was recognized as one of “Tomorrow’s Leaders” by Real Estate Forum.

College students create campus app for peers

BY LEXI CURNIN

J

ust 20 years ago, a map and the advice of willing upperclassmen were the only means college freshmen had to navigate the campus. Today, there are countless online resources available to help students make the most of their college experience. But a group of six enterprising undergraduates at Manhattanville College in Purchase remained unsatisfied.

In April of last year, Adolfo Canales, Pablo Álvarez, Camel Curi, Jessica León, Erica Hernández, and Eduardo García began developing an iPhone app, Mville Access, designed to streamline clunky online student services. The idea came to Canales during his freshman year when he noticed the inefficiency of accessing student services on a mobile device via Safari or Google Chrome.

Together, Canales and his friends consulted with heads of student resource departments, including the Office of Residential Life and the Center for Career Development, to ensure no vital student services would be overlooked.

With the legwork complete, the group hired an outside company, Como App Maker in New York City, to create the structural skeleton of the app. The college, fully supportive of their efforts, covered the $300

price tag. “We cut a lot of the cost,” Canales said, “because if we were to code the app ourselves, it would have taken two years.”

The students tailored the basic interface to Manhattanville by adding academic information, game updates for Valiants sports teams, and transportation schedules to and from White Plains.

Also included in the app is a link to mental health services, a resource Canales notes students tend to “forget is there,” but one that is nonetheless essential to overall wellbeing.

New additions are also in the works, with some expected to be released next semester.

One addresses a common plight of college students. After hauling dirty clothes all the way to the laundry room, the last thing a student hopes to find is that every machine is in use. The Mville Access app will put a stop to these unnecessary trips by incorporating an availability monitor for washers and dryers.

Canales also hopes that by advertising the delivery services of local restaurants in the app, the restaurants will be willing to provide discounts to hungry Manhattanville students. The two restaurants Canales reached out to earlier this year were receptive to the idea.

Though proud of its success — roughly

Developers of the Mville Access app are, from left, Adolfo Canales, Jessica León, Pablo Álvarez, Erica Hernández, Camel Curi and Eduardo García.

40 percent of Manhattanville students have already downloaded it — Canales will not continue work on the app after his graduation this spring, raising questions about future leadership and development.

The idea behind Mville Access shows promise in terms of application at other small, liberal arts colleges. However, after providing the necessary funding to get the app off the ground, Manhattanville owns all rights, meaning obtaining a patent is out of the question for Canales and his colleagues.

Although implementation elsewhere seems unlikely, the continued presence of the app on campus is ensured by the college’s

plans to have incoming freshman download it as a part of orientation programming.

Within the next four years, every student on campus will be using the app.

Asked why he and his friends went through the trouble of developing Mville Access, Canales said, “We wanted to leave something that everyone would remember us for.”

The ability of the app to add both convenience and simplicity to campus life ensures these six students will not soon be forgotten.

Walmart aids food effort

Study finds fish oil helps blood vessels for some diabetics

T

HEALTH NETWORK SAYS CHOLESTEROL LEVELS ALSO BENEFIT

aking the recommended 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids via daily krill oil supplements appears to decrease the risk of developing cardiovascular disease for people with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study led by researchers at Western Connecticut Health Network.

The study was published in BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, an open-access journal for the health care industry.

Participants in the study showed “improved endothelial function” after four weeks of a daily krill oil supplement compared with participants receiving olive oil and further improvement following an additional 17 weeks of supplementation.

In a prepared statement, the hospital said endothelial function is the ability of the innermost lining of the blood vessels to expand and contract. “Several studies have shown a likely correlation between poor endothelial function and cardiovascular events and it is believed to be a predictor of cardiovascular disease development,” the statement said.

Blood levels of HDL — the good choles-

terol — also improved in patients following 17 weeks of daily krill oil.

The researchers said additional study is needed to determine whether longerterm consumption of krill oil would reduce the risk further and whether their findings for individuals with type 2 diabetes would extend to other high risk populations.

Since 2002, the American Heart Association has recommended a daily intake of 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, WCHN reported.

“Among other complications, people with type 2 diabetes have a greatly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease and nearly nine percent of the adult population of our home state of Connecticut has been diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes,” said Jessika Lobraico, lead research associate at WCHN and lead author of the study. “Our findings indicate that there may be another important way to reduce the risk of heart disease for populations already at a higher risk for these complications.”

Lobraico offered the advice for patients

to check with their health care provider before starting any new regimen.

Western Connecticut Health Network serves Connecticut’s west flank and adjacent New York. It is anchored by three hospitals: Danbury Hospital, New Milford Hospital and Norwalk Hospital, plus affiliated organizations. Besides the hospitals, the network’s continuing care includes numerous medical practices and subspecialties through the Western Connecticut Medical Group, the Western Connecticut Home Care, the WCHN Research Institute, the WCHN Foundation and other affiliates.

In the prepared statement, the hospital said, “This study was conducted as part of WCHN’s clinical research program, where in-house teams lead cutting-edge studies to address the range of needs of patients across the region. The WCHN research program provides direct interaction between bench scientists and patients who participate in studies. The institution’s smaller size significantly speeds the transition of new discoveries from the lab to the clinic.”

THE DANBURY FOOD COLLABORATIVE, which provides 230,000 meals per year to some 86,000 homes, has been awarded a $25,000 boost from The Walmart Foundation State Giving Team.

It is the second consecutive year the foundation has given $25,000 to the DFC. Led by United Way of Western Connecticut, Danbury’s food pantries, soup kitchens and nonprofits — 14 in all — formed the DFC in 2013, “working together with a common mission to improve access to food, quality of food and sustainability of food for residents in greater Danbury.”

A DFC survey of its clients showed that many of the food programs do not have enough fresh, healthy food for their clients due to both a lack of access to fresh food and a lack of refrigeration.

In 2014, UWWC applied to Walmart and received funding for “Project Healthy Food” to provide refrigerators for DFC food programs and fresh food for residents in need.

The DFC partnered with Community Plates, which rescues fresh food from restaurants and grocery stores.

Without adequate refrigeration, food programs can be limited to dry, prepared and packaged “middle grocery aisle” food items, the UWWC said in a prepared statement.

a gallery.”

Pennette’s business partner, friend of 37 years and fellow Greenwich resident is Mahmoud Zahid. “It’s exhilarating to be in this business with my great partner,” Zahid said. “He is both meticulous and precise. For more than 30 years, we’ve had this solid, beautiful friendship. Like a good bottle of wine, it just keeps getting better every year.”

An hour with Pennette — Zahid joined later — elicited the types of details that only come with experience. “Moodi and I think of ourselves as songwriters,” Pennette said, referencing Zahid’s nickname. “This is an opportunity to perform our own concepts.

We’ve opened 316 restaurants, but we only own the Wuji brand.”

Pennette knows from experience the industry’s details within details and said it is a new world for dining out.

“Gone is the idea that all you needed was passion, a year in training and a loan from your father-in-law,” he said. “A restaurant today is about making people feel good, using food as a gift or a technique. It’s about recognizing the customers’ needs.

“The last thing I want to see in a customer is ambivalence,” he said. “‘Yeah, I went there; had the chicken.’ That’s the worst. I’d rather

hear it was terrible or it was great, but not that.”

Said Pennette, “We’re taking what’s been around for decades as America’s favorite comfort food and applying modern sensibilities: organic farm-to-wok, no chemicals, no fillers.” He said the modern consumer is very aware of health issues. “We use just a little salt and we like to say your clothes will fit you in the morning.”

All Wuji chefs are from China — “The consumers should know their chef has a pedigree,” Pennette said — and the menu requests appear in the kitchen in both Cantonese and Mandarin. Those chefs, nonetheless, pursue a regimen that came out of San Francisco after World War II, spawning some 40,000 Chinese-American restaurants in the U.S. today. “We offer a bright, fresh flavor that tastes like Chinese food, distilled to be the cleanest, freshest version of this traditional American comfort food,” Pennette said.

“It’s the Chinese food we all grew up with on Sundays,” he said. “I’m trying to rescue it from extinction.”

Pennette said there are bastions of real Chinese food in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and, where he enjoys it, in China, but mostly the Chinese cuisine in the U.S. is made to promote rapid, easy preparation.

Wuji, which will serve the traditional likes of

vegetable spring rolls, pork spare ribs and lo mein, will prepare its meals organically and to order. Pennette said that can lead to challenges, as when an order is without onions and he must relay that information in the chef’s native tongue.

The first Wuji opened in Scarsdale last summer. Pennette said the 80 to 90 seat model seems to work well for this concept as it provides enough capacity with turnover to enable 250 guests on a weekend night and still protects from “an emptiness on a rainy night” when only 40 might be dining.

The Rye Wuji is around 4,000 square feet

and has 90 seats. Scarsdale is about the same and Greenwich when it opens in the Whole Foods shopping center will be the same, as well, he said.

CB5’s nuances include organic bar drinks, a sleek bike and labels on takeout containers so the contents can be known before opening.

The company’s future plans include another Wuji in either Stamford or Westport. “The goal is six restaurants and a second wave of six,” Pennette said. “If 12 can prove a good foundation, we would expand beyond that.”

Cuddy & Feder LLP

B

ob Feder and Bill Cuddy founded Cuddy & Feder in 1971 and set up shop in a house on Maple Avenue in White Plains, a welcoming neighborhood law office to meet clients. Over the years, the fi rm increased in size and like any family, outgrew the house it had originally started in.

But despite its size, downtown address and satellite offices, the warm, welcoming family feel of the fi rm remains the same.

At Cuddy & Feder, we pride ourselves on our reputation for quality, substantive ties to community leaders, stakeholders and decisionmakers — built on the caliber of our work — and for bringing deep industry knowledge, compassion and experience to bear in service of our clients’ goals. We’re your strategic advisors, addressing not only your legal needs but your business and personal ones as well.

Our attorneys help local, regional, national and multinational clients alike identify and implement nuanced solutions to complex legal challenges in each of our key practice areas: corporate; energy and environment; fi nance; land use, zoning and development; litigation; nonprofit organizations; real estate; telecommunications; and trusts & estates and elder law.

We are proud of the successful resolutions, innovative legal solutions and nuanced strategies we provide for our clients. Our team’s shared breadth of legal and industry know-how makes us well-suited to navigate the fastpaced, ever-changing corporate, political and legal landscapes, to help you tackle your most complex legal challenges and see you through to your desired results.

As a mid-sized law fi rm, our size is an invaluable asset. It makes us judicious in our hiring and our commitment to diversity

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

AN ADVERTORIAL RESOURCE GUIDE | DEC. 14, 2015

Why You Must Still Do Estate Planning

A

healthy estate tax plan should focus on all of the estate planning needs of an individual while considering also the tax implications of such plan. This is especially important for clients domiciled in the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, which have not adopted the concept of a “portable” estate tax exclusion.

With the increases in the federal and New York state exclusions, a small percentage of clients are in need of estate tax reduction. For our clients with taxable estates exceeding $10 million, we do have many techniques available to reduce those estate taxes.

Clients at all asset levels must understand that there is so much more at stake besides estate tax.

In light of the increase in the federal capital gains effective rate of 23.8 percent augmented by New York state tax, and perhaps New York City tax, clients must also look at the resulting tax basis in their assets.

Savings in estate tax must be weighed against possible increases in income tax. For many years this firm (and its predecessor firms) has used its income tax planning expertise (personal and business) to be sure that the estate plan proposed would not be counter productive in other ways.

Also, taxes aside, our firm has the knowledge and experience to solve other potential problems before they occur. We deal with the inherent issues in second marriages and prenuptial agreements and clients with special-needs beneficiaries.

We face up to the challenges of Medicaid planning and the financing of long-term care.

We are also cognizant of the requirements clients must adhere to in order to avoid potential will contests.

Our firm reviews how title to property is held concentrating on real property, both in state and out of state, to avoid ancillary probate and to streamline the

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

process of estate administration.

And while we represent our clients zealously and diligently, we are sensitive to the anxiety caused by delays in estate administration and the potential headaches of fighting with parents and siblings. So we always look to the advantages of settlement and mediation.

Don’t assume that you need not plan and if you have a plan, be sure to keep it updated. We look forward to hearing from you.

OUR FIRM HAS THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO SOLVE OTHER POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY OCCUR.

Keane & Beane, P.C. – Business Succession and Estate Planning

By Ivan F. Sperber

Statistics show that baby boomers are increasingly seeking to turn over their businesses to a new generation of owners while preserving wealth for themselves and their families. Keane & Beane, P.C. assists in that transition. As part of its established business law practice, Keane & Beane routinely represents clients with business succession planning and restructuring of corporate ownership. These tasks are further complemented by Keane & Beane’s expertise in all aspects of estate planning.

Over the past 35 years, Keane & Beane has developed and maintained strong working relationships with business clients throughout the Hudson Valley region, often representing successive generations of leaders as management and operational control is transferred. These long-term relationships, the ability of Keane & Beane’s attorneys in different practice groups to seamlessly collaborate with one another and Keane & Beane’s extensive network of professionals, ensure that expertise in all relevant areas is conveyed to clients in a practical, simple and costeffective fashion.

From families with extremely high-net worth to those of modest means, Keane & Beane provides customized estate planning to preserve assets and plan for the future. Keane & Beane attorneys analyze the fi nancial information and family considerations of clients to formulate estate plans in which assets pass to the next generation in the most taxefficient manner. Through use of wills and revocable and irrevocable trust planning, as well as specific strategies such as family limited partnerships, trusts and recapitalization of equity, Keane & Beane has

provided many clients with significant tax savings.

Many Keane & Beane attorneys are consistently recognized for excellence in their fi elds by being named as “Super Lawyers” or “Super Lawyer Rising Stars” and hold leadership positions in various professional associations, such as the Estate Planning Council of Westchester and the Westchester County Bar Association. A principal member of Keane & Beane also chairs the Senior Law Day

Ivan F. Sperber, Esq. has been an attorney in the Trusts & Estates and Real Estate practices of Keane & Beane, P.C. since 2014.

Developers rethink office design

ralvarez@westfairinc.com

S

YEAR END REVIEW: REAL ESTATE, CONSTRUCTION, ECONOMIC DEVELEOPMENT

tamford’s stock of old corporate headquarters and multi-thousand-squarefoot office buildings are being redesigned to attract a new generation of commercial tenants, with a particular focus on technology and media companies.

“That’s what we are seeing today, when you think about new economy type tenants, technology, marketing, advertising and IT firms, they are looking to be within that sort of mixed use ecosystem where they have great space, but they are also in a great environment where they can get out and walk,” said Ted Ferrarone, chief operating officer for the Stamford-based real estate development firm Building and Land Technology.

“They are using the surrounding environment much more than a traditional office tenant would.”

BLT is currently redeveloping the former 550,000-square-foot Pitney Bowes global headquarters at 1 Elmcroft Rd. into what will be known as Silicon Harbor. The redevelopment will focus on creating open spaces and large floor plans that have become known for increasing collaboration and productivity among employees as well as with a quality of living that have become commonplace in cutting-edge west coast offices.

Purchased earlier this year for $38.5 million, Ferrarone said the company envisions Silicon Harbor as a perfect fit for new economy tenants offering an environment of live, work and play amenities within the company’s $3.5 billion Harbor Point development that has brought new commercial and residential space to the city over the past five years, including 2,300 apartments, several hundred thousand square feet of office space and more than 30 retailers.

The combination of community and commerce are exactly what new economy tenants are looking for said Jim Phillips, a portfolio manager with BLT. “As we were out in the marketplace talking to technology tenants, we found there was a real resonance here where people drew a lot of parallels to what is going on out in Silicon Valley,” he said. “When you look at what we have here in Stamford, it actually shares all those characteristics — great transportation, great housing and nightlife.

The thing that is unique here is we have a really active waterfront, which no place else in Connecticut has. When you couple that with being right off [Interstate] 95 and by the Stamford train station, it is a great package.”

According to a Q3 2015 office market report from real estate firm CBRE’s Fairfield/ Westchester office, it is the small and midsize firms that are filling the city’s empty buildings, with small to mid-sized tenants under 10,000 square feet continuing to dominate recent leasing activity, accounting for 85% of the total transactions in Q3 2015.

The same report also states that vacancy rates for Stamford’s Central Business District in Q3 were at 24.1 percent, a frequently cited statistic, but one that is not an entirely accurate reflection of the demand from tenants who are seeking more modern and cost efficient spaces, Ferrarone said.

Vacancies tend to be concentrated in either former world headquarter buildings that are being reinvented or they are in buildings that are functionally obsolete, he said.

Far from transportation and mixed commercial and residential hubs, these building are not what modern tenants are looking for and will have to be “re-imagined” to be successful, according to Ferrarone.

The former Pitney Bowes global headquarters at 1 Elmcroft Road will be transformed into Silicon harbor by Stamford real estate developer Building and Land Technology.

Manhattan in partnership with Gottesman Real Estate Partners and Mountain Development Corp., both of New Jersey, 700 Canal St is the perfect example of commercial redevelopment that is needed to attract new economy tenants, said Mike McCall, vice president in CBRE’s Fairfield/Westchester County office which currently manage the leasing and marketing of the building.

Following a $4 million top-to-bottom makeover, the 90,000-square foot building features a loft style design with exposed brick, high ceilings, and a new glass lobby.

McCall reports the new design has been a hit and is rapidly becoming a standard for commercial redevelopment projects across the city.

“You can certainly tell from the result ownership has had for the 24 months that it speaks volumes about the demand for this type of space,” McCall said. “Certain buildings lend themselves to this kind of redevelop-

ment, but now we are seeing other landlords construct pre-built units with this loft style.”

McCall has also noticed a growing trend towards luxury services such as a buildingwide concierge as part of the new focus on tech- and digital-based companies.

From having your car washed and the delivery of groceries and dry cleaning to event planning and catering services, McCall sees these services increasingly becoming standard if Stamford is to continue to rebrand itself as a destination for cutting-edge industries.

“This is something we have seen in larger more sophisticated markets in the country that have been very attractive for hi-end users.” he said “The existing landlords just need to get more creative with these traditional office buildings to adjust to the times.”

“Tenants want that cool, hip office environment to attract the best and brightest employees.”

Murphy takes award

pair of Mamaroneck-based Murphy Brothers Contracting projects was selected by industry peers to receive 2015 HOBI Awards in two categories, “Best Out of State Custom Home” and “Best Kitchen Remodel over $200K.” Murphy Brothers principals Chris

and Sean Murphy live in Fairfield County.

In a prepared statement, the company said the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Connecticut HOBI Awards are the most prestigious awards presented in Connecticut in design, construction, sales-and-marketing and home financing categories by members of the

statewide organization.

The HOBI Awards were presented at the annual HBRA-CT HOBI Awards banquet held at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, attended by more than 700 industry professionals and affiliates.

The Levitt Pavilion: Always in Season The Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Westport is synonymous with many things: 50 nights of world-class arts and entertainment presented free of charge under the stars — one of the nation’s longest-running free outdoor festivals — its brand-new, but instantly iconic, new home “sailing” along the banks of the Saugatuck River. And, as many would attest, the Levitt Pavilion is synonymous with summer itself.

Many a fan has shared the sentiments: “Summer doesn’t officially start until the Levitt Pavilion opens!”

Still, the organization — an independent 501 (c)(3) not-forprofit led by its first and long-time Executive Director Freda Welsh — operates 365 days a year in order to produce this cultural phenomenon. Booking acts and curating the season are year-round endeavors for the Levitt Pavilion — an esteemed presenting organization nationally recognized for its artistic excellence and cultural contributions and emulated nationally for its pioneering mission and organizational blueprint.

If anything, booking starts to heat up as the weather cools down. In addition to working with artists and agents, attending professional conferences and industry showcases, efforts are made to consider thousands of submissions. Meanwhile, some creative collaborations take years to cultivate and coordinate, whether with artists, cultural exchanges and touring opportunities or with other peer-presenting organizations.

Wintertime affords the Levitt Pavilion — which is in full-on 24/7 production mode for the duration of its summer season — the time to invest in long-term planning, including the exploration of new creative initiatives, programming, outreach and partnerships. The organization also keeps pace with and participates in arts advocacy locally, nationally and globally.

Fundraising is always underway, of course. While the Levitt Pavilion receives incredibly valuable support and services from the town of Westport and the state of Connecticut, the organization raises more than 90 percent of its annual budget. From updating membership programs, expanding grant revenue, developing new and renewing existing sponsorship relationships, to planning special-ticketed events and promotions, to end-ofyear appeals, there’s never a time when the Levitt Pavilion is not actively undertaking ways to raise funds as well as to inspire, engage and expand its stakeholders and supporters.

So even when the stage is empty, behind the scenes, the plans are underway. So think warm thoughts this winter. After all, summer is alive and kicking at the Levitt Pavilion all year long.

Carleigh Welsh, marketing and development director Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts Member, Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County The mission of the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County is to support cultural organizations, artists and creative businesses by providing promotion, services and advocacy.

IMAX ‘Polar Express’ at The Maritime Aquarium Renew (or begin) a family tradition by securing your tickets for a magical ride to the North Pole as “The Polar Express” steams back onto the giant IMAX screen for a limited holiday engagement at The Maritime Aquarium.

Based on the Caldecott Award-winning book by Chris Van Allsburg, “The Polar Express” follows a young boy who doubts the existence of Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, a magical locomotive arrives to take him and other doubting children on a magical Christmas Eve trip to the North Pole.

Digitally re-mastered into the IMAX format, the animated film has Tom Hanks lending his voice to several main roles, including the train conductor and Santa Claus. The late critic Roger Ebert said of the 2004 film “[it] has a haunting, magical quality because it has imagined its world freshly and played true to it, sidestepping all the tiresome Christmas clichés that children have inflicted on them this time of year.

The conductor tells the boy he thinks he really should get on the train and I have the same advice for you.”

From Nov. 27 to Dec. 20, “The Polar Express” will play

at 4 and 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 4 p.m.

Sundays. From Dec. 26 to Jan. 3, “The Polar Express” will show daily at 4 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $11.50 for adults, $10.50 for youths (13-17) and seniors (65+) and $9.50 for children 2-12. For more information, please visit maritimeaquarium.org.

David Sedaris’ “The Santaland Diaries” AT MTC, Main Stage Leave the kids at home for this hilariously irreverent holiday show, being performed through Dec. 20 on the Music Theatre of Connecticut’s Main Stage in Norwalk. “The Santaland Diaries” is David Sedaris’ side-splitting send-up of Christmas and his brief, misguided career as a Macy’s elf. The play offers a sardonic, witty, irreverent accounting of elf training, bad Santas, abusive customers and humiliating conditions. Don’t miss the show that The New York Times calls “A hilarious one-man holiday tour-de-force!”

“The Santaland Diaries” skewers everything we love (and secretly loath) about holidays. Based on the true chronicles of writer Sedaris, the tales helped launched the career of Sedaris when he performed excerpts from his essay, “Santaland Diaries,” for National Public Radio a few days before Christmas in 1992. The essays were later adapted into a one-man show by Joe Mantello and premiered at the Atlantic Theatre Co. in 1996. Today, “The Santaland Diaries” remains one of the most-produced holiday shows on American stages each season.

The Music Theatre of Connecticut is at 509 Westport Ave., Norwalk. Performances of “The Santaland Diaries” are Friday, Dec. 19, 8 p.m., and Saturday, Dec. 20, 4 and 8

p.m. For more information, visit the website musictheatreofct.com (Note: there is a special offer in place for FCBuzz supporters: Take 20 percent off tickets when you enter the code BUZZ at checkout).
