s a child growing up in north
Trenton, Diana Rogers regularly
walked past a vacant lot across the
street from the Battle Monument
on Broad Street. The empty lot
seemed to always have a sign stuck
in the dirt claiming the promise of
things to come. “There was always
something coming,” says Rogers,
the interim executive director of
the Trenton Capital City Redevelopment Corporation (CRCC). “But
nothing ever came.”
That image stuck with Rogers
Trenton Future:
Diana Rogers of the
Trenton Capital City
Redevelopment Corporation is on a panel
discussing the redevelopment of the city
on Saturday, March 9.
through her years at Trenton High,
when she had aspirations of becoming an attorney. When she went
off to North Carolina Central University to earn a degree in political
science, she picked up a minor in
geography, and the connection between city planning and the vacant
lot on Broad Street clicked. But she
still did not know who was responsible for making things happen in
Trenton.
Rogers, whose mother was an
employee of the state Division of
Motor Vehicles for more than 40
years, has worked as a contract administrator for the state Housing
and Mortgage Finance Agency, the
former director of housing and
shelter operations for the YWCA of
Trenton, and is currently co-chair
of the Mayor’s Economic Advisory
Council for the City of Trenton.
She went to work at CCRC in 2008
as project manager and became interim executive director in 2011.
The 18 years spent moving up
the ranks in non-profit, community, and economic organizations has
given Rogers more than enough
time to wrestle with the question
hands on and come up with some
answers.
Rogers will be part of the free
panel discussion “Redevelopment
and Community Benefits in the
City of Trenton,” on Saturday,
March 9, at 10 a.m. at the lighthouse Outreach Center at 715 Bellvue Avenue in Trenton. Other panelists include Richard Libby of
Bayville Holdings llC, the co-developer of the Broad Street Bank
building in downtown Trenton;
Tim Razzaq of Community Benefits Agreements; Zachary Chester, Trenton West Ward city councilman; Reverend Gerald Ambassador Truehart, Trenton
School Board member; and James
Gee, governmental affairs specialist and progressive policy champion. Call 609-379-2926 or e-mail
[email protected] to RSVP.
The panelists have varying ideas
on what should be done and who
should do it, ranging from government representation of residents’
interests, to small business development and incentives, to reconverting abandoned real estate, to
laying the groundwork for a new
city-wide economic platform.
But there is one thing upon
which they all agree: Successful redevelopment will require a coordinated effort between everyone who
stands to benefit (or lose) from the
process, including government officials, business interests, and
members of the community. “Our
[next] step is to talk about how redevelopment happens and what it
really is,” says Rogers.
Steps involve community benefit agreements (CBAs), which are
contracts between a community
coalition and a developer. CBAs
can include certain guarantees,
such as employment or affordable
housing. Once finalized, a developer will incorporate the CBA into
a formal disposition it sends to the
city. If the government approves,
the document and the terms of the
disposition, along with the CBA,
become legally enforceable.
Before a CBA can be created,
the coalition must draft a cooperation agreement (CAG) that specifies how community members and
groups will work with each other.
Before that happens, the members
of the coalition need to be on the
same page conceptually. In the end,
says Rogers, “The community has
to step up, and you need to have a
willing developer.”
The CCRC was originally created to monitor the state’s impact
on downtown Trenton. It gained
more power after legislative changes in 2010 declared it an economic
development agency with more
leeway to manage its own funds
and affairs. But though there are
city residents on the CCRC board
of directors, there are still enough
non-residents to win a majority
vote in decisions that might pit the
interests of the city versus outside
factors.
According to Rogers, the CCRC
is not the only vehicle for economic
March 6, 2013
and community development in
Trenton — its mandate is limited to
redevelopment in the capital district downtown. Once all of the
various interests groups understand each others’ capabilities, they
can leverage each other’s resources
and skill sets, accomplishing more
together than they can apart.
“Our [next] step is to talk about
how redevelopment happens and
what it really it is,” says Rogers,
who plans to use the panel to give
an overview of how things work
and share information on projects
that are in the pipeline.
Rogers insists that if community
members want to see changes reflecting their own interests, they
need come together, get a sense of
what’s most important to them collectively, seek out the relevant resources and information, and make
a plan of action.
“It is important [for government] to get involved, but I also
think that residents can start the
process,” says Rogers. She hopes
the panel will give Trenton residents insight about how to best forward agendas regarding their most
important interests and concerns.
Include all the stakeholders.
“Residents should understand they
are a big part of what happens in
revitalizing and stabilizing neighborhoods,” says Rogers. “It’s important for them to be involved in
that process.” When individuals
and groups begin to talk about vision and neighborhood plans for
the community, all these stakeholders should be part of a larger discussion. The next step is to get everyone on the same page.
The earlier, the better. Early
involvement often yields greater

development process works and
identifying all of the interested parties will give community members
a better idea of how they can accomplish things.
Choose projects wisely. “All
development is not necessarily
good development,” says Rogers.
There are projects that just don’t
make sense. It’s unwise not to consider the economic interests of developers or to think of community
benefit agreements as giveaways
or buyouts, but, says Rogers. “If
there’s redevelopment in a community, and a developer is just walking away with dollars and the community and the city is not improved,
then that’s not good development.”
Get it done. Beyond all the talking there needs to be a plan for implementation. Rogers notes that
progress often results when shared,
concentrated efforts are made by
community members to formulate
a collective vision and focus.
Rogers specifically recalls when
residents took charge of the Kath-
magine having an instruction
manual outlining a secret code that
could predict how people will behave in a wide range of situations
— including how they will react to
you. What if this code not only demystified why you click with some
and clank with others, but also revealed the type of work environments where you are likely to
thrive?
Such a framework actually exists and is the basis of a simple behavior model known as DISC, according to Angela Deitch, president of Angela Deitch Consulting
and secretary of the Human Resources Management Association
(HRMA) of Princeton.
The subject will be the source of
a talk, “Taking Flight! Master the
DISC Styles and Transform Your
Career, Your Relationships. Your
life,” presented by Merrick
Rosenberg of Team Builders Plus
on Monday, March 11, at 5:30 p.m.
at the Hyatt Regency Princeton.

usiness tools are like diets. In the right hands, applied the
right way, they all work. Roaming
throughout central Jersey and across
the globe, Bart Jackson has spent the
past 25 years finding those business leaders
and the tools they employ. Many of his stories have appeared in U.S. 1 Newspaper.
In fact, it was interviews with such New
Jersey business leaders as former State
Chamber president Joan Verplanck, and Ken
Parker (who went from Atlantic City Electric’s lawn cutter to president in 18 years)
that sparked Jackson’s quest to share these
insights. Two years ago Jackson’s Prometheus Publishing formed a business division, BartsBooks Ultimate Business Guides.
“My goal was to get experienced experts
sharing their solutions to specific business
challenges,” Jackson says. “So we set about
packing an array of proven methods into concise, short, and humorous guides.”
Those who want to learn about the ways of
business success and career satisfaction may
hear Jackson speak about his recently released “Behind Every Successful Woman Is
Herself.” This free event will be held on
Thursday, March 14, at 7 p.m. at Princeton
Manor Community Club House. For details
call 732-821-0288. Major contributors for
this book include many New Jersey women,
including Diana Henriques, Pulitzer Prizewinning author who has written the definitive book on Bernie Madoff, and Holly Bull,
the Princeton-based alternative career planner.
BartsBooks’ spring releases include “The
Art of the CEO” by Jackson and “Winning at
Going Global” by Brian Shube. Visit www.
bartsbooks.com for details. “One of the nice
things about the Princeton-area business
community,” says Jackson, “is that the people seem to be having a lot more fun at their
work than most places. Not sure why. Surely
can’t be the weather.”
Below is an excerpt from another work
published by BartsBooks, “So That’s How

not.” — John Dunham, owner, Sterling Store,
a competitor of Sam Walton in 1961.
Test yourself. What is your instinctive, gut
reaction after reading this tale about America’s wealthiest retailer? If you felt a wave of
personal inferiority or career regret, then, my
friend, you are in the majority — and you
have not quite passed. You have yet to determine the appropriate extent of devotion to
business that brings your life satisfaction.
And the time to do that is now.
For generations, business achievement
has stood as one of the few status yardsticks
in much of our modern culture. It is the only
real way to enter America’s nobility. Admittedly, this is not a bad thing. Making one’s
mark by building a societally contributing
business serves far better than bloodletting
one’s way to the top through rapacious military adventures.
However, the commonly held method of
obtaining such success has become a somewhat flawed mythology. look at Sam Walton, the parable preaches. He rose from store
clerk to unequaled Emperor of Retail by a
ruthless, monomaniacal devotion to business. That, my son, is the only way to suc-

According to the website discprofile.com, DISC is a personal

answering a series of questions that
produce a detailed report about a
person’s personality and behavior.

ceed. But in truth, one myth does not
fit all.
This little tale reveals more about
Mr. Walton than his frightening fixation with commerce. First, it shows he
was ever on the prowl for new suppliers.
Wise. It further demonstrates Walton was
true to his company’s niche. Also sharp. He
had designed his first store, a Ben Franklin
franchise, for strictly the lowest-price retail
market. The trek for cheap toiletries, thus,
made sense. He was working hard and smart.
Was Walton’s life of 18-hour business
blitzkrieg days satisfying for him? Did the
more relaxed life suit Walton’s competitor
who told this tale? That’s of no concern to
you, really. Your job is to discern where your
own fulfillment level lies. No one is denigrating hard work or long hours. Few things
better your odds of success more than these.
But don’t get caught up in other people’s
models. Success comes from a blend of many paths and efforts. Some will slide into
wealth by selling Pet Rocks. Others will labor long years to create a complex software
package. The results of business are elusive
and vastly unfair, so you had better love the
daily work.
Society dangles the carrot of status to
those who follow the Walton model. Meanwhile others insist on living a “balanced life”
— whatever that is. Ignore them all. Work as
your business demands and as your sense of
fulfillment dictates. Then turn off the light,
lock the door, and go pump iron, heft a cognac, or kiss a lover.

situations and communication;
• Submission — relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness; and
• Compliance — relating to structure and organization.
According to discprofile.com, a
DISC profile can help:
• Increase your self-knowledge —
how you respond to conflict,
what motivates you, what causes
you stress, and how you solve
problems;
• learn how to adapt your own
style to get along better with others; foster constructive and creative group interactions;
• Facilitate better teamwork and
minimize team conflict;
• Develop stronger sales skills by
identifying and responding to
customer styles; and
• Manage more effectively by understanding the dispositions and
priorities of employees and team
members.

t is an eventuality that all of us
will face during our lives, the
loss of a loved one. Whether
this loved one is one of your parents, a sibling, a relative, or a
friend, litigation may arise concerning the Probate of their Will
and in administering their Estate.
Estate litigation is often emotional, costly and evokes emotions
similar to that of a divorce proceeding. Often times, the Executor of the Estate may use the Estate’s assets to defend the Will
which has been offered for probate. On the other hand, the contestant of the Will must often pay
their own counsel fees with only
the possibility of being reimbursed by the Estate. As such,
prior to challenging a Will, an individual must first evaluate the value of the Estate and their potential gain as compared to the expenses they may incur in obtaining that relief. In addition, a party
should consider the emotional
trauma which is prevalent in Estate litigation. An Executor of the
Estate, or a beneficiary whose
bequest is being challenged, will
have no other alternative than to
defend against the challenge being levied against their interest.
In the State of New Jersey,
there are essentially two basis under which in which to contest a
Will. A party can seek to attack the
validity of a Will by asserting that
the Testator was not competent at
the time the Will was executed. In
general, a legal presumption exists that the Testator was competent at the time he/she executed
the Will. In fact, the law only requires a minimal degree of mental
capacity when executing a Will.
Generally, the inquiry is whether
the Testator comprehended the
property of which he/ she wanted
to dispose , the intended recipient
of said property, and the act of executing the Will. Moreover, this
comprehension must only be
present at the time the Will was
executed. Even if the provisions of
a Will seem shockingly unnatural
or unfair, if it appears that the Will
was executed at a time the Testator was competent and had a free
and unconstrained mind, then a
Court should uphold the Will.
Should a party wish to challenge the validity of a Will based
upon issues with the capacity of
the Testator, they must overcome
the presumption that the Will was
valid. As such, a beneficiary who
seeks to uphold the Will need not
establish its validity, but instead, a
party who wishes to invalidate a
Will must establish the incapacity
of the Testator at the time the Will
was executed. A challenge to the
capacity of a Testator often involves a review of any relevant
medical records, testimony of first
hand witnesses, as well as the examination of other factors which
relate to the competency of the
Testator at the time the Will was
executed.
A party may also seek to challenge the validity of a Will based
upon an allegation of undue influence. In general, this means that
the Will was not the product of the
decedent’s own free will and volition, but instead, was the product
of undue influence asserted by
another individual over the Testator which caused the writing to not
reflect the decedent’s true intentions, but instead, the wishes of
the party who asserted the undue
influence. In order to establish the
invalidity of a Will based upon an
allegation of undue influence, the

challenging party must present
evidence which demonstrates
that the type of conduct which occurred caused the decedent to
execute a Will which did not accurately reflect his/her true intentions, but instead, those of the
other party.
During a Will contest based
upon allegations of undue influence, a party may be successful
in shifting the burden of proof to
the proponent of the Will to demonstrate that no undue influence
was present in the execution of
the Will. The shifting of the burden
of proof may occur when there is
a confidential relationship between the proponent and the decedent, such as any attorney/client relationship, a power of attorney relationship, or any other relationship where trust and confidence naturally exists. Should a
party also establish the existence
of suspicious circumstances in
conjunction with the confidential
relationship, it may shift the burden of proof to the proponent of

“I n the N ext R oom , or the vi brator play.” Two seniors in the theater department sought out a comedy for their thesis production and
came up with Sarah Ruhl’s “In the
Next Room, or the vibrator play.”
Set in Victorian England, the 2009
play explores love, relationships,
and sexuality at the moment in history where innovations in electricity introduced the vibrator.
The plot centers on a doctor, Dr.
Givings, who uses this new-fangled device to treat women thought
to be suffering from hysteria. His
wife, Catherine, grows curious
about the sounds she hears from
these “treatments” through the office wall. As the doctor and his wife
become entangled in a patient’s
complicated family situation, they
question their own marriage and
love for each other.
Tickets, $15 for the public and
$1 0 for students and seniors, are

Cu riosity’ s M ission to M ars:
N ewest Discove ries f rom G ale
Crater. Space exploration and the
possibility of life on other planets
was once the purview of science
fiction writers’ wild imaginations.
Now it is the life’s work of some
very real scientists. John Grotzinger, a geology professor at Caltech
and the chief scientist for NASA’s
Mars Science Laboratory Mission,
is one of them. In his lecture he will
address the latest results from the
Mars rover’s exploration of the
Gale Crater.
Grotzinger’s research focuses
on Mars’ environmental history,
and the nearly four billion-year-old
Gale Crater was strategically selected as a site that, scientists believe, may show signs of past life.
Has Mars ever been able to support
microbial life? Grotzinger will
break down what Curiosity’s findings suggest.

M ovi ng B ack and M ovi ng F orward : I s Canad a in Y ou r F u tu re?
As Americans watch their government make itself the butt of jokes,
guest lecturer K enneth Dryden
comes to Princeton to make his
pitch for his native Canada. His resume speaks for itself. As a goalie
for the Montreal Canadiens from
1971 to 1979, Dryden (Cornell
class of 1969) helped his team win
six Stanley Cups and was inducted
into the hockey and Canadian
sports halls of fame. He moved into
politics and has served in Canada’s
parliament and as the minister of
development.
Dryden is also the author of five
books including “Becoming Canada,” in which he outlines his vision
for Canada and its unique place in
the world. He brings to Princeton
his call to action for Canadian citizens to become involved in making
their country better and to improve
his country’s image abroad.
E x p ert Sp eakers: J ohn G rotz inger, lef t, speaks on

Circe. You are not immersed in

Worry: The What-Ifs
UE ST IO N : I worry all the
time. My wife says I have a
bad case of the “what ifs.”
I’m tired of being paralyzed by my
own anxiety. Can you help me?
AN SWE R: To control worry,
you try to prepare for all the “what
ifs,” but unfortunately you can
“what if” yourself to death,
squeezing all the pleasure out of
the moment by pessimistically
imagining what could go wrong
instead of optimistically hoping it
will go right.
Not all worry is bad. If you did
not worry about passing a test in
school, finishing projects on time
at work, or getting gas before a
trip or groceries before a snowstorm, you would end up in trouble. But, while good worry leads
to constructive action, bad worry
leads to paralysis. So, here are
some ways to increase your power so as to decrease your worrying.
1. T ALK : Instead of worrying
alone, which only leads to your
imagination spiraling out of control, talk to someone whom you
trust and with whom you can
share your concerns. This person
can serve as a safety check, helping bring you back to earth when
you are “making a mountain out of
a molehill.”
2. T HIN K : Instead of wallowing
in what could go wrong, think of
what you could do to solve the
problem. While I realize that your
mind will search for the perfect
solution, accept the fact that there
isn’t one!
3. ACT : Armed with a plan, put
it into action. Worried about your
health, get a physical. Worried
about work, tell your wife that you

will be home a little later and get a

4 . T HE RAPY : The above
sounds simple, but my guess is
that you will need more help in the
form of counseling.
a. WHY : First, this will show
you the roots of your worrying.
• Perhaps you had overcritical
parents who made you worry that
love was conditional upon good
grades.
• Perhaps one of your parents
imbued you with their own negative thinking with such adages as
“Hope for the best, but expect the
worst.” So, to cope, you have
picked up the gauntlet of being a
perfectionist, who obsessively
plans to avoid harm only to find
yourself mired in a maze of negative and cynical thinking.
b. HO W: Secondly, you can explore how you think, exposing
those automatic, knee-jerk patterns of thinking that cascade you
downwards to a day of doom and
gloom. Gradually, you will learn
how to extract the negative, unrealistic thought and replace it with
a more positive and realistic one.
5 . ME D ICAT IO N : As I have
said before, medications are a
two-edged sword. While medications like Valium or X anax can get
you over the hump when very upset, they are addictive, and you
must not overly rely upon them.
As many worriers are also depressed, the drug Paxil is a safer
alternative in treating depression
and stress with less risk of dependency.
6. PRAY E R: A relationship with

tional love, and help you see the
forest for the trees, the big picture
helping you worry less about the
little picture.
7 . SE LF - CARE : If you are
pooped, you will be more prone to
worry. So, get enough sleep, eat
well, and exercise.
8 . D IST RACT IO N : While the
above sounds great, you will still
worry. So, when those thoughts
inevitably invade your mind, distract yourself from worrying by
getting up, watching TV, eating a
snack, taking a walk, listening to
the radio, or anything that will momentarily help you stop yourself
in your tracks rather then let you
sink into a sticky web of “what ifs.”

J on N aar: Signatu re Style, E ye of an Artist
T
by D an Au brey
he New Jersey State Museum building has all the trappings
of modernistic architecture: planes
of glass and masonry, sleek lines,
frosty walls, and an airy openness.
Some of its components remind
one of a camera.
That thought, it turns out, is an
apt one for the exhibition now on
view and having an opening reception this Saturday, March 9: “Jon
Naar: Signature Style,” featuring
60 photographs informed, in part,
by that post-war-era design and
style.
Yet, while architecture is fixed,
ideas regarding design and styles
are not, and the past 50 years have
engendered new ideas and rebuttals to the once new.
Likewise Naar, a man with an
inventive mind, is not fixed in time,
and by capacity, fortuity, and longevity (he is 92 years old). He has
chronicled a half-century of creativity, his own and others’.
That half-century has been one
where modernism’s tidy optimistic
geometry — a type of prescription
for social or individual harmony —
was smacked by the unrestrained
reply born from graffiti and social
change. During that shift, Naar has
been there as both witness and recorder.
Naar, a resident of the Mill Hill
section of Trenton, is an internationally respected photographer.
His work has been seen in major
museums and galleries, including
the Museum of Modern Art, the
Metropolitan Museum, the Louvre,
the K unstgewerbe Museum in Berlin, Fondation Cartier pour l’art
contemporain in Paris, and now
this solo show in Trenton.
He records expressive extremes,
the faces of artists who advanced
cultural changes and the stuff of
daily life that happens to catch a
searching eye. Sometimes they intersect with interesting results.
While many of the images were
created for major European and
American publications — Elle and
Jardin des Modes in Paris, the Sunday Times Magazine and Vogue in
London, and the New York Times
Magazine — others were created
by his urge to capture his era.
Artist at Work: J on
N aar, above, and his
work, ‘ K ip J um p.’
Photo by A lex N aar
No matter the reason, Naar’s accumulated work suggests a layering of cultural ideas, providing the
big picture of recent times. The exhibition’s title comes from Naar’s
belief that “there is a factor that distinguishes one photographer’s images from another’s, that gives the
photograph its ‘ signature.’ This
factor is essentially a way of looking, which, for me at least, is primarily an instinctive physical reaction to the subject/object to be photographed.”
Naar’s own signature is his drive
to capture clarity, composition,
color, and subject. It is an idea captured by his statement written on
the label next to his photograph of
architecture by modernist Mexican
designer Luis Barragan. “Sometimes you can anticipate the kind of
light,” Naar writes. “You want to
achieve a particular visual effect.
At other times, all the elements of
form, texture, light, and color come
together so suddenly that you must
be ready to respond instantly to get
the picture.”
Naar’s photographs — 42 digital
giclee prints and 18 black and white
silver gelatin — are on view on the
museum’s second-floor gallery and
the passageways leading it. In those
spaces, walls or sections highlight
themes or approaches used by the
photographer rather than provide a
chronological survey.
For example, one wall focuses
on designers and artists. It starts to
the left in the 1970s, with the trueto-life color images, with famed
architect Marcel Breuer and then,
following right, to designer Harry
Bertoia (who created the kinetic
and aural sculpture in front of the
museum), followed by groundbreaking earth sculptor Christo,
and then up to today and Trenton
street-influenced artists Will Condry and Leon Rainbow.
Another area displays the found
geometric designs of buildings,
signs, and machines, many overlaid with waves of graffiti.
There are also groupings of
found designs that he captured including a key piece, “OST-N.”
While that 1957 black and white
silver gelatin print seems a crisp
abstract work, it is a finely detailed
image of a broken wall. Its missing
section appears at first to be a solid,
unevenly shaped mass with lines.
When the eye settles it’s clear that it
is an opening exposing wood support frames. While the stenciled
letters that run across the top of the
image (and give the work its name)
enhance the sense of structure,
hand scrawled markings (tic-tactoe grids and a tiny box) oppose it.
The image marks a preview of
coming images that continue a
variation of a theme: the play between order and disorder.
O
ne section of the exhibition
that makes the most immediate art
connection to viewers — and on a
recent Sunday afternoon people
stopped and announced their recognition of the subject — contains
a series of images that includes the
iconic black and white image of
perhaps the most iconic of recent
American artists, Andy Warhol, in
a reflective mood. Naar photographed the famed artist and his
entourage for a New York Magazine assignment on Warhol’s famous Silver Factory in 1965.
The idea of art that looks at art is
Warhol-like in spirit. That Naar
captured and exhibits it makes the
works resonate even more, as if it
were an artifact of that time brought
to Trenton.
New Jersey State Museum arts
curator Margaret O’Reilly’s panel
text bears testament to the power of
the Warhol image and gives it a direct connection to the exhibition
that she coordinated. “For more
than 30 years,” she writes, “I have
had a postcard of the Warhol.
Picked up in New York during my
undergraduate days, the back of the
postcard was blank. There was no
indication of the photographer or
the date the image was taken. Back
then, that was alright with me; Warhol was the attraction for that
young art student. Over the years,
that postcard moved around eventually to my museum office and
now in my home office. During this
time, Warhol has remained an important art world figure for me, but
the photograph itself took on great
importance, too. Who took this picture and what led the photographer
to make these particular choices?”
After viewing an area exhibition
and seeing the work, O’Reilly adds
that she was astonished to discover
the photographer lived in walking
distance from the museum.
Naar’s 19th-century home sits
next to the Assunpink Creek, where
on a recent afternoon the whitehaired yet youthfully curious photographer sits in a less than modern
dining room and, surrounded by
photos and books, answers ques-

tions about his life, his late entry
into photography, and his approach.
He was born in 1920 in London.
His father was English; his mother
arrived there from Belarus when
she was 3. By the age of 11 she was
orphaned. The two lived and met in
East End London. “They were,” he
says, “working class and Jewish, a
dual hardship.”
They also were determined. His
father, overcoming class and religion, became the first Jewish mayor of the London borough of Hendon. His mother worked as a milliner, learned tailoring, and started a
dressmaking business that his father managed. When he was six,
Naar accompanied his mother to
Paris, fell in love with the city, and
vowed to return.
Naar was educated at the private
Mill Hill School in London. An academic achiever, he graduated at
age 15. Too young to be accepted
into an English university, he saw it
as an opportunity to return to Paris
(which was not concerned with age
as much as aptitude) and attended
the Sorbonne to study French and
German. He also became more interested in social justice issues,
supporting the left-leaning Front
populaire.
He returned to London to attend
the University of London in 1939.
World War II erupted, and he was
conscripted into the military.
Thanks to his enrollment in the Officers’ Training Core at Mill Hill,
he became an officer and agent
with the British Intelligence Service. One of his assignments was to
go to Palestine, disguise himself as
a Swiss journalist, and gather intelligence from Nazi-aligned forces.
Naar smiles as he talks about the
story’s complications. While not a
James Bond adventure, there is intrigue (interviewing Vichy French
officers in a brothel) and danger (he
was caught in crossfire that lasted a
day). He shakes his head in amusement during the account.
Other assignments included being sent to the Middle East and Italy to gather information regarding
resistance efforts and to advise
London. He was, he says, too preoccupied at the time to think about
photography.
By 1945 he had assumed the
rank of major and married an
American captain in the Office of
Strategic Services. When the European war ended, Naar accompanied his wife back to America, settled in New York City, and became
an U.S. Citizen.
Looking to establish himself,
Naar eventually found a niche with
writing on biological science issues
that led him to the public relations
offices at Columbia-Presbyterian
Hospital, then a public relations
company that specialized in pharmaceutical advertising, and then
director of international marketing
for the Seagram Corporation.
Naar says that during
this time he had gotten a
single-lens reflex camera (an East German
Praktica) and spent his
weekends taking photos
of his Greenwich Village
neighborhood.
Eventually he became
more devoted to the process, developed his eye, and took
advantage of his trips for Seagram
to explore markets in Mexico.
A 1962 trip is represented in the
exhibition by a gathering of black
and white images: “Christ and the
Teacups,” “Mexican Family,” and
“Saint in Frame, Mexico City.”
Their winning combination of
found subjects (religious objects,
frames, faces) and pronounced
composition was the foundation
upon which he was to build. He
says that was the year that he found
himself seriously pursuing photography and started using a Nikon F
camera.
The year also marked Naar’s
friendship with influential fashion
and advertising photographer
Nicholas Muray. They met, Naar
says, in the laundry room of their
apartment building. When the novice photographer finally found the
courage to show his work to the
world famous photo stylist, he was
struck by the reaction: “You are not
a photographer; you are an artist.”
Muray then arranged to take
Naar’s work to his friend and fellow Hungarian-American, internationally known photojournalist Andre K ertesz, who, in response to
Naar’s question as to whether the
master thought he too could be a
photographer, simply replied, “You
are one already.”
“With K ertesz’s imprimatur I
decided to become a professional
photographer, and I decided to save
up money for one year to work
without worrying about getting
paid,” says Naar.
The plan included taking a new
job as a consultant with the Germaine Monteil cosmetics company
in Munich, Germany, where Naar
stayed, while his second wife remained mainly in New York. With
money in the bank and a Leica M3
range finder camera, he launched
his new career on with a clear goal.
“I was 42 years old and did not
have enough time to go the traditional route. I needed to focus and
pitch myself to the top. In order to
do that, I needed to be prepared
with two things. First I needed to
have good photos to show people,
and, second, I had to have ideas to
come up with,” he says.
One of his ideas was a photo essay on Germany 20 years after the
death of Adolph Hitler. Armed with
contacts and references from his
other work, he contacted the editor
of the influential Italian design
magazine Domus and pitched it.
What had been planned as a
V isions: J on N aar’ s ’ ‘ B arragan R ed,’ near right,
and ‘ Strasbourg Children.’
16-page photo essay turned into
23-page one. “I started off with a
home run,” says Naar. “This magazine was seen by every designer
and architect in the word.”
After other assignments in Paris
and London, Naar (who had returned to New York City in 1964)
worked full-time as a photographer
for New York Magazine, Conde
Nast, and others. He also received
assignments from one of advertising’s leading designers, Massimo
Vignelli. That work provided Naar
with access to subjects that connect
‘ I am not an artist,’
N aar says. ‘ I am a
p hotograp her. I w ork
w ith my eye and my
hand .’
his major artists and architects and
allowed him to frame them with his
signature style.
“I am not an artist,” Naar says
thoughtfully as he looks at his images in a book, “I am a photographer. I work with my eye and my
hand.”
But there is art in the work, art
that seeped into his eye and stayed.
While he studied linguistics in
school, he also took architecture
classes in ancient Greek and Roman architecture. When in Paris, he
followed the practice of French
schools at the time: take the students out of the classrooms one day
of the week and put them in a museum gallery.
The result is that classical archi-
tectural forms and designs became part of
his seeing. “I was influenced by late medieval and renaissance
art. Fra Angelico,
Giotto,” he says, adding that the French
painter Paul Cezanne,
with his geometric
groupings and structured designs, was also
an influence. Vermeer
also enters the conversation as Naar points to
the light pouring
through a window in
one of his images. He notes that he
used a light similar to that used by
the 17th-century Dutch painter.
In addition to design, Naar also
admits to the spirit of freedom, of
being a chronicler of the daily appearance of forms and situations,
someone in search of images waiting to be found. He adds that he was
inspired, in part, by the work of another Hungarian photographer,
Brassai, whose 1924 “Paris at
Night” captured sculptured scenes
of Parisian places and people.
After pausing and thinking
about what he has just said, Naar
looks up and says, as if realizing
something, “There are certain
things about my photography that I
cannot explain. There is an intuitive existential resonance about my
picture taking that is not intellectual or preconceived or planned. I
never know what is going to happen. I trained to be ready.”
That readiness was helpful when
he in 1974 when he received an assignment from Pentagram Design
London to take the photographs for
the first book on the New York City
graffiti art, “The Faith of Graffiti.”
The introduction was written by
celebrated American novelist and
journalist Norman Mailer. “After
the graffiti book came out, I had entree to publishers,” says Naar who
went on to create 11 more books
that focus on subjects ranging from
photography to solar energy.
It was during the creation of a
book on energy that he found his
new home in Trenton, after five decades of being connected to New
York. It was in 2000 and, he says,
“New York became too expensive,
U.S. 1
23
and I couldn’t afford to live there
anymore.”
Because the new book included
researching energy policies in New
York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, Naar was in contact with government officials in each state. He
says that during a casual conversation with a State of New Jersey energy official he mentioned that he
was planning to move. The official
suggested that Naar visit Trenton
and took him Mill Hill.
“I walked around the neighborhood and felt I was in Paris. I
bought the house before I went into
it,” he says. “I love the house, south
facing, and sunlight all day. The
loudest sound at night is the Assunpink Creek. I don’t have a car and
walk to the Trenton train station.
What more can I ask?” he says.
The Trenton locale also allows
him to see his Washington, D.C.,
based son Alex, a crisis manager
for the Federal Aviation Administration; daughter-in-law K aren
Heys, a Peace Corps employee;
and Axel, his three-year-old grandson. In a twist of fate, Naar’s arrival
in Trenton connected him to a distant family member, artist and Rider University professor Harry Naar.
Looking back on the Warhol picture, Naar smiles and says, “I was
paid a $100 from New York Magazine, and I’ve made a lot more on
the photo.”
It also has given Naar an exhibition in a space that has the same
modernist design as the digital cameras that Naar has been using over
the past decade (Nikon 3100 and a
5100). There the gallery becomes a
place where visitors have the opportunity to gaze through the eyes
of a photographer who was willing
to put his signature on his times.

‘ More T han A Ru g’
T
renton Museum Society
board member David Bosted has
an affinity for what he calls “art
that you wear.” In the mid-1980s he
joined the Princeton Rug Society, a
textiles art and culture group, and
learned to appreciate “the range of
art that was brought into the world
through textiles.”
Then in 1993 Bosted, who has
law and public policy degrees and
worked with the New Jersey Division of State & Regional Planning,
began a two-year contract assignment in Micronesia. He considered
that experience transformative.
“What a revolution that was for me
to see how they have a completely
different artistic idea of how they
wear their clothing,” says Bosted.
“If anything matches, that’s a fashion failure. It’s like Hawaii, exponential.”
After returning to the United
States, Bosted began taking interest in people and cultures that channeled their artistic visions into how
they dressed. He came to favor African textiles. The patterns and
prints had inherent meaning, bypassing naked utilitarianism for
clothing that made a statement.
By 2013, his second year on the
board of the society that provides
support for the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie Mansion in Trenton,
he had collected enough African
clothing and jewelry to put on a
small exhibit. So, when the society’s exhibitions committee sought
ideas, Bosted along with fellow
board member Joseph Longino, offered to do just that. And thus the
seeds were sown for “More Than A
Rug,” opening on Saturday, March
9, at the Trenton City Museum.
Bosted is clear on what kind of
response he hopes for. “Many people many may have heard of raiffai
or kente cloth, but may not have a
chance to see some good examples.
Some people may get a chance to
say, ‘ oh that’s what they look like,’”
he says. The textiles and patterns
are much brighter, bolder, and generally less repetitive than what is
found in contemporary American
fashion.
Bosted hopes the exhibit will encourage self-education. “The Trenton City Museum has provided this
opportunity to learn about traditional African textiles,” he says.
“And that is a fairly rare opportunity because the originals of these
vintage traditional textiles are seldom seen, especially assembled as
a group.”
Since textiles are not especially
expensive to collect or study, Bosted says, “So maybe this exhibit will
inspire some young people to learn
more about traditional handmade
African textiles, perhaps to start
down that path to assemble their
own study collection! ”
During the early phase of the exhibition planning, the Penningtonbased Longino — an avid art fan,
art collector, and a principal at the
investment banking firm Sandler
O’Neill and Partners — gave suggestions and brainstormed along
with Bosted. Eventually, he realized that he had more to offer than
bright ideas.
Longino thought of a South
American tapestry weaver whose
cotton and silk creations would
complement Bosted’s textile
theme, He also thought of the work
of a Chinese painter whose work
was in a Princeton gallery, and two
sculptors whose work he had purchased in Hopewell.
With Bosted’s blessing, Longino invited the artists to display their
works alongside with the African
textiles.
Conceptually, the exhibit speaks
not to particular time periods or
by N okw are K night
themes, but in layers that reflect or
reject the spirit and physical makeup of Bosted’s African textiles.
Aside from Bosted’s collection, the
exhibit features the four other artists, all whom live, work, and have
pieces displayed elsewhere within
25 miles of Ellarslie Museum.
Bosted’s collection sits in Ellarslie’s Malloy gallery. Longino’s
nuanced textiles, paintings, and
tapestries, all grounded in cultures
carried from ancestors past, line the
walls of the other museum spaces.
The floors are filled with abstract
sculptures that speak more to the
artists’ individual muse of the moment.
A collection of 6.5’x36” cotton
and silk tapestries by Guatemalan
weaver Armando Sosa favor Bosted’s collection more than any other
pieces in the exhibit. Sosa grew up
in Salcaia, Guatemala, a place
where men used to earn their living
weaving tapestries. “It’s like going
back to my past,” he says of creating each tapestry in his Hopewell
studio.
Following tradition, the color
schemes of each tapestry appear
bright and festive, sometimes in
gradients. Intricate patterns and
small, symbolic characters look as
if they had been carefully considered. They are woven into the fabric with awe-inspiring detail.
A student of his art, Sosa has
traveled across the United States
and Europe to study tapestries of
various origins. He sometimes
blends cultures in his pieces. The
tapestries may be rooted, or mostly
consists of, his Mayan ancestry or
an alternative culture. In the middle
or throughout any given piece he
may add minute reflections of
Asian culture, European tradition,
his country, or his childhood in
contrast. The deviations are often
so small that an observer may not
notice if they aren’t searching. It
takes Sosa about 100 hours to complete a single tapestry.
T
he late Princeton-based artist I-Hsuing Ju’s rice paper brush
paintings are just as detailed. Yet,
as in the Chinese tradition, they are
realist odes to the power and serenity of nature, as opposed to Sosa’s
more symbolic odes to the history
of man. The pieces usually display
expansive landscapes in which
man feels small or nonexistent.
The paintings, like Sosa’s work,
are grounded in an art form specific
to his heritage. They also give
slight nods to worldly experiences
expressed through a blend of styles
and intricate, barely-there details.
Ju’s 1989 painting, “Winter in the
Mountain,” for example, shows the
edge of a sparsely treed cliff overlooking a range of snow-covered
forestry and mountains. It’s a traditional bow to the calm equilibrium
of nature. If you look closely, you’ll
see two figures perched at the edge
of the mountain under a tree,
dressed in American clothing, a
wink at Ju’s tenure teaching at
Washington & Lee during the time
the painting was created.
Longino chose New Hopebased John McDevitt’s three dimensional steel sculptures to contrast Sosa’s and Ju’s more figurative work, while complimenting
Sosa’s color scheme with what he
calls a “kind of rusted patina.”
Technically, McDevitt’s pieces
begin and end with steel circles that
are manipulated, textured, and
welded together in copper-tone and
black cohesive wholes. His iconic
style, McDevitt says, is “a circle
within a circle within a split.”
Some of his work — tall foursided slabs with or without a single
hole — feel static. Many of his
T ex tiles: Clockwise

stone sculptor A yam i
A oyam a, paper brush
painter I -H siung J u,

McDevitt, and weaver
A rm ando Sosa.
pieces, however, embody continuity and feel amorphous. Steel curdles, surfaces boil and crater, frequencies and wavelengths swirl,
working thoughts take shape, and
figures have no end. It is as if he
melted the metal down to nature’s
theories and welded them together
into culminations that explain
depth, dimension, and the universe
by defying them.
When his pieces literally split
circles, one imagines slicing
through inter-dimensional portals,
eyes, and tunnels. The split declares the steel structure’s otherworldly mechanics inoperable.
What once seemed to facilitate motion in place becomes entirely still.
Yet, it has the potential to move between worlds again, if only the split
were filled and this “thing” were
fixed.
Hopewell Township-based Ayami Ayoama’s stone sculptures are
both, at once, less abstract but more
individually inspired and less predefined than McDevitt’s. Indeed,
she says she prefers not to put her
own specific design into the pieces,
but rather attempts to “feel the
stones” and “make them speak,”
etching out their individual characters as she gives shape to the stones.
The pieces don’t just feel personal. They are.
“When I came to this country
(from Japan) I couldn’t speak English at all. While working on the
stone at school I had really a lot of
isolation from the world,” says
Ayoama. “When working on the
stone, I’m discovering how to have
a good conversation with that material, although it doesn’t actually
have any voice.”
Today, though Ayoama regularly converses in English, she still
sees English language as a barrier
to full, inhibited expression. Art,
she says is her alternative voice.
“I have a lot to say,” says Ayoama. “But it doesn’t come out easily. That’s probably why I need a
stone to speak.”
Ayoama’s latest publicly displayed pieces seem to show a preference for smoothing full and partial symmetries out of large portions of white marble and granite.
They feel calm and inviting as
might a pond or river. They project
power without being pompous, as
might the Roman dignitary and
humble warrior who, by instinct,
protects and empowers before he
seeks to claim.
Ayoama has also worked with
smaller bronze, onyx, and limestone pieces in the past, and was
even a painter before she moved
into sculpting. For the first time, at
the coming “More Than A Rug” exhibit, she will display pieces she
created with nothing more than a
chisel, file, and polishing stone.
Those were the tools of her trade
when she began sculpting. All her
publicly displayed works, until
now, were made using power tools.
The exhibit, a result of planning
meets serendipity, conveys a sense
of continuity and balance through
contrast. Bosted’s collection is colorful, potentially even royal, but
practical, with designs that have
specific meaning for whomever
may choose to flaunt them.
For two men with limited practice in throwing such exhibitions,
Longino and Bosted have covered
quite a bit of conceptual territory in
a relatively small space. One might
assume the two had perhaps come
across each other in the local art
circles some time before, and already knew they shared common
notions and kindred spirits. But,
Longino clarifies, they only had
begun speaking recently; two
board member meetings before the
idea “More Than A Rug” came to
fruition. Things clicked from there.
“We hit it off pretty well,”
Longino says. “There’s not much
history there. Just two collectors
from the Trenton Museum Society
coming together to make this collection.” And a whole lot of world
between the two of them.

The Artful Eye: Fact vs. Fiction
Continued from page 14
W
hen you imagine the serious-minded academicians in the Princeton University English department, an Iraq War veteran doesn’t immediately
come to mind. But in that august academic department today is Ph.D. candidate Roy Scranton, who
kicked around on the west coast for a few years after graduating from high school in Oregon, enlisted in the army shortly after 9/11, served as an artilleryman in Iraq, and in 2006, at the age of 30, used
the GI Bill to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the New School in New York, before
coming to Princeton in 2010.
Along with fellow Iraq War veteran Matt Gallagher, Scranton has edited a collection of short
stories by writers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan: “Fire and Forget — Short Stories
from the Long War” (Da Capo Press). Scranton,
Gallagher, and contributors Phil K lay and Jacob Siegel will read from and discuss their
work Tuesday, March 12, at 6 p.m. at Labyrinth
Books at 122 Nassau Street. 609-497-1600.
In advance publicity for the collection,
Scranton was asked why he and his co-editor
chose to present these stories, many of which
reflect all-too-real first-hand experiences, as
fiction rather than non-fiction. Scranton’s response:
“After 9/11 there was a lot of talk about
truth being stranger than fiction, about fiction not being able to keep up with the improbability
of world events. This is not a new problem. As Mark
Twain put it, ‘ Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is
because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities;
truth isn’t.’ Now, if all you want is to gape and jaw at
the absurdities, monstrosities, and sheer novelty the
human primate can finagle, there’s no better place to
look than out your window.
“But the stories we tell ourselves offer something
else. Fiction allows us to reflect on more universal
truths, the kinds of things a certain person would say
or do, the kinds of situations that happen. Fiction allows us to abstract from the incessant particularity of
one event, one moment, and one day something bigger — some larger connection between all of us,
something human.
“Moreover, in being obliged to stick to possibilities, fiction takes to itself the power to create new
possibilities. Stories like “Oliver Twist,” “Ulysses,”
“1984,” and “Neuromancer” actually change the way
we see and think about the world: They change the
world itself, as much as an invention like the iPhone
or a discovery like the Higgs boson. Fiction is a mode
of exploring the possibilities of the condition of being human. Nothing else does that.”

Of course it doesn’t hurt that Scranton has some
first-hand familiarity with his subject matter. “Time
in the service and in Iraq gave me a pretty good
bullshit detector. There are constant dangers in telling war stories. Every moment we risk telling people
what they want to hear, what should have happened,
or what we only wish was true. On the other side,
mere reportage doesn’t work: you can’t raise banality to the level of truth by strictly recounting events.
Reality must be fashioned, fiction made. So somewhere in there, somewhere between pleasing lies and
meaningless data, we follow the faint lights of the
mighty dead. It’s easy to misstep.”

Washington Crossing Park Gets a Makeover
I
f you hear the sound of firepower echoing across the banks of
the Delaware River on Sunday,
March 10, do not panic. The sounds
you hear will not be coming from
enemies attacking the area but from
reenactors celebrating the new visitor center at Washington Crossing
Historic Park in Pennsylvania. Its
doors will open to the public with a
volley of muskets and cannon fire.
“We are literally opening with a
bang,” Joan Hauger said with a
smile during a recent interview
about her role as the Washington
Crossing site administrator for the
Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) and a
preparer for the center’s opening
day activities.
Visiting from Washington, D.C.,
is the Old Guard. Dressed in 18th
century uniform, the 3rd Infantry
Regiment of the U.S. Army starts
the day’s events with a flag raising
ceremony and a fife and drum core
performance.
“I’m very excited that the Old
Guard will help us celebrate the
new center,” said Hauger, who
completed her graduate work in
museum education at the College
of William and Mary and has been
a museum professional since 1987.
PHMC and the Friends of Washington Crossing Park have worked
together for several years to open
the new center, Hauger said.
“It will be great to have a world
class center for people who come
here from all over the world,” said
FWCP president John Godzieba,
who performs the role of General
Washington at reenactment events.
The new center, built from the
existing structure from the late
1950s, adds 3,200 square feet to the
building making the total size
19,000 square feet.
One of the key improvements to
the center is a section of glass panels that provide a wide view of the
river and landscape, blending the
interior space with the outdoor
space.
“We maximized the view of the
river,” said Morris Zimmerman,
the center’s project architect and
principal of BWA Architecture +
Planning. The firm has been involved with the project for more
than 10 years and worked with former site administrator Doug Miller.
The center also includes a renovated auditorium and new exhibition space. Exhibits on opening day
will feature artwork and relics from
the period during and after the Revolutionary War. Objects include a
strategy letter from General Washington to Colonel John Cadwalader, whose family name is known by
art and history lovers through its
connection with Cadwalader Park
in Trenton. Also on view are period
military weapons and a sign painted by important 19th century
American artist and Bucks County
resident Edward Hicks for the
bridge at Taylorsville, the former
name of the park site.
One of the very popular artworks, hung in the auditorium, is
the iconic picture of Washington
crossing the Delaware River, painted in Germany by German-Ameri-
by Lynn Robbins
can painter Emmanuel Leutze. The
picture is a full scale print taken
from the original oil painting displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The work
measures over 12 feet high by 21
feet wide.
Zimmerman said he remembers
the sense of awe he felt the first
time he saw the painting at the old
visitor center.
While the image inspires many
visitors, it is often criticized for its
inaccuracies. Leutze painted the
scene in 1851, more than 70 years
after the crossing.
The PHMC website summarizes
the issues raised by critics: The
painting shows Washington and the
troops crossing the Delaware River
in daylight. There is a clear view of
a vessel surrounded by ice caps. It
resembles a rowboat and features a
full view of Washington standing.
It is believed that the some of the
passengers represented included
the future president James Monroe
holding a Betsy Ross version of the
flag, and an African-American,
Prince Whipple, rowing the boat.
Critics point out that the crossing took place after sunset in
stormy conditions in a Durham
boat with sides that come above the
waistline of most adults. The river
that Leutze used as a model was the
Rhine, not the Delaware. The ice
formations would probably have
been larger and more threatening
than the ones in the painting. It is
also unlikely that the Betsy Ross
version of the flag was the one that
would have been carried in the
boat.
In spite of its inaccuracies, the
Leutze painting continues to inspire people today. The PHMC
writer concludes, “Certainly, a
small group of men, banded together to fight a common cause is a lasting impression from the image.”
W
hile the picture does not
provide a real time photographic
view of the event, it conveys a bigger idea, say historians and even its
critics. The idea behind the painting is what draws people to the picture and keeps it in their memories.
At least that is true for Zimmerman.
“I remember the impact the
painting had on me as a child. Today, my son is in the sixth grade,
and I’m looking forward to taking
him to the center to see the painting,” Zimmerman said.
For Hauger, the impact of the
painting is interconnected with the
impact she hopes the new center
will have on visitors.
The mission for the new center,
she said, is to “help people learn
about Washington and his crossing
of the Delaware, and the 10 crucial
days that created the turning point
of the revolution. And to help understand the sacrifices people made
to establish our country. It is a place
for people to come and learn about
history in an interactive way.”
“People who come to the center
can learn the details of the revolutionary war, and that’s important,”
Hauger says.
“But there’s a bigger idea; if you
have vision and a dedication to
achieving something worthwhile,
with some risk those dreams can be
accomplished. Washington and the
Continental Army had their backs
against the wall. The patriot cause
looked like it had been lost. In the
dead of the winter, Washington did
something different, he continued
to fight even though armies generally didn’t fight in winter back
then, crossing an ice choked river
in the middle of the night during a
Nor’easter. It shows what can be
done with daring and determination in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds. You just might win
and realize your dream. This was
the turning point,” she said.
Like the Leutze painting, the
new center has had its share of admirers and critics, as well as practical and public scrutiny.
Over the years, some town officials and residents have voiced
concern over potential impacts of
the center on natural surroundings
and the environment, and building
costs. The structural addition to the
existing building and new parking
required the elimination of 19 trees
and bushes.
“It took time to complete the design and permit phase in order to
meet local, state, and federal regulations,” Hauger said. “There were
a lot of environmental requirements. We’re on the banks of the
Delaware. There were permits to
be approved, i’s to dot, and t’s to
cross.”
To mitigate the impact of tree removals, PHMC and Lockheed
Martin planted 2,400 seedlings in
the park in 2011.
In terms of environmental impact, the new center is designed to
heat and cool the building with little or no negative effect on the environment. Both Hauger and Zimmerman said they were happy
about the center’s open loop geothermal heating and air conditioning system because it doesn’t burn
fossil fuels and will save money on
energy bills. “We’re very proud of
our green footprint,” Hauger said.
PHMC and the park’s friends
group have been working on the
new center for over 10 years and
have been operating out of trailers
for several years since the old center was closed because of a leaking
roof, mold, and other problems.
Serving visitors is what the new
center is all about, said Hauger. The
new parking lot includes a handicap accessible area and a drop off
point for tour busses and vans.
Hauger, who now lives in Northeast Philadelphia, the same area
where she grew up, attributes her
can-do attitude to her parents who
imbued her with the ability to deal
with challenging situations, to be
an independent thinker, and to take
pride in her work. Her dad, a cloth
cutter in the Philadelphia clothing
industry, and her mom, a dedicated
homemaker while she was growing
up, insisted that she go to college
but told her that what she studied
was up to her.
Several organizations have contributed to the center’s exhibitions,
including the new American Revolution Center at Independence
Mall, Center City Philadelphia;

State Park will celebrate its grand opening during Charter Day

County Historical Society; and the
Pennsylvania Historical Society,
and the Harrisburg office of
PHMC.
Volunteers with the Friends of
Washington Crossing Park have
been key players in the March 10
opening and will continue to work
on events throughout the year.
Looking forward to the center’s
opening, Hauger said that working
from the trailers has not so bad.
“But there was an exception. In the
winter of 2011, the pipes froze and
we had to use the bathroom in an
auxiliary building. We had to walk
over snow and ice to get there.”
And why not? Crossing through
snow and ice is something one expects at Washington Crossing Historic Park.

An Innovation Engine Opens On Nassau Street
W
by Michele Alperin
alk into the Nassau
Street space sandwiched between
the Ivy Inn bar and Small World
Coffee on the east end of town, and
you will find an unusual environment. The drop ceilings and partition walls are gone, replaced by
high, airy ceilings crossed by
wooden beams and clean white
space, accented with fluorescent
orange, yellow, and green.
The high-energy vibes of this
setting are in perfect synch with its
new occupants, who sit in the space
at the invitation of Tigerlabs, a new
entrepreneurship center in Princeton, which celebrates its grand
opening on Friday, March 15.
Bert Navarrete, Tigerlabs’ cofounder, general manager, and
managing partner, shares what they
had in mind for the center’s new
digs: “We wanted to find a space
that replicates a New York loft,
with a high ceiling and exposed
brick.” With the help of architect
Steve DeRochi and restauranteur
and real estate developer Jack Morrison, Navarrete has created that
space in 8,000 square feet on the
second floor of 252 Nassau Street.
It’s not just the visuals of the
open architecture, intended to
spark creativity and collaboration,
that defines Tigerlabs as an unusual
endeavor in the Princeton community. But even the language that
Navarrete uses — “24 and 7 startup
culture,” “hustle,” “student entrepreneurs” — speaks of something
young, fresh, and vital.
Tigerlabs provides a flexible coworking, education, and meeting
center for emerging startup companies and entrepreneurs and offers
startup education workshops and
events open to the community. In
addition, Tigerlabs University and
Tigerlabs Health are accelerators
that provide startups with seed capital, mentorship, perks, and a
shared workspace.
Over the last five years life-long
Princeton resident Navarrete found
himself spending lots of time in airplanes — upwards of 200,000
miles a year — flying predominantly to the San Francisco Bay
Area, where the venture capital
culture he was part of was thriving.
On those flights he had lots of time
to think and the result was his new
venture. “Tigerlabs was born out of
the frustration I had living on United Airlines for the last five years,”
he says.
What he often wondered, both
privately and out loud with entrepreneur and investor friends, was
why Princeton did not have a culture similar to that of the Bay Area.
“All the right ingredients were
here,” he says. “It’s near a major
university, is in close proximity to
major metropolitan areas, and is
surrounded by big industry and
other universities; and, most important, the second largest and
growing VC capital in the world is
in New York City.”
In pondering why this was true,
the answer he came to was simple:
“Because there was nowhere to coordinate and galvanize this fragmented entrepreneurial community.”
And thus was the genesis for Tigerlabs, which, according to its
website, www.tigerlabs.co, is “an
entrepreneurship campus founded
by serial entrepreneurs and venture
capitalists with the goal of organizing the fast growing but disjointed
startup ecosystem of Princeton,
NJ.” Today Tigerlabs provides a
flexible coworking environment
for emerging startups; and offers
educational workshops and other
events to the community; and hosts
two entrepreneurship accelerators,
Tigerlabs Health and Tigerlabs
University.
Navarrete knew about the entrepreneurial culture because he was
part of it. In 2010, he cofounded the
startup Connected Sports Ventures,
for which he raised $4 million.
Connected Sports develops a companion app for live sports broadcasts that integrates them with software on tablets and phones and

gives people watching an opportunity to interact through trivia,
games, and a social experience
around Twitter and Facebook.
Jason Glickman, Navarrete’s
co-founder and now CEO of Connected Sports Ventures is also a
venture partner and co-founder of
Tigerlabs and was formerly founder and head of of Tremor Video, a
large video advertising company in
New York City. The company’s executive team is in the Tigerlabs coworking center in Princeton, and
Thompson Management
its development team is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, across the
street from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
As Navarrete would make his
way about town, he noticed the
fragmented situation of local entrepreneurs — sitting in Panera, subletting from the grad school, or in
apartments by themselves. At its
most basic, Navarrete’s idea was to
solve the loneliness of entrepreneurship by providing a coworking
space. “By sitting and cohabiting

with other entrepreneurs, we can share experiences and resources, and it engenders an
overall better culture for them to be sitting in
a shared workspace,” he says.
So the first item on the Tigerlabs agenda
was to find an appropriate space. “We didn’t
want office space that would be better suited
for an investment bank, pharma, a consulting
firm, or a law firm,” says Navarrete. “We
wanted open space and collaboration.” In
2011 Tigerlabs opened its first office at 20
Nassau, a small space of about 1,300 square
feet, and eventually had to add a satellite office at 17 Hulfish.
The new coworking center, dubbed Tigerlabs Commons, occupies 8,000 square feet at
252 Nassau Street. Here entrepreneurs can
get short-term desk rentals for $300 per desk
per month, with no lease, as well as the benefits of a shared workspace; Internet access;
showers (so that they never have to stop
working); a kitchenette with an industrial
espresso/cappuccino machines, an icemaker,
and vending machines for snacks and drinks;
meeting space; an address; and, adds Navarrete, “most important, they have a community they can rally behind.” He continues,
“For me, part of the real genesis and impetus
for creating Tigerlabs is galvanizing community; and to make that happen, you need
shared space, programs, and a venue that is
open to the community for events.”
Through organic growth fueled only by
word of mouth Tigerlabs quickly outgrew its
earlier spaces. Currently the Commons has
about 35 people between its coworkers and
the first class of its newest accelerator, Tigerlabs Health, and receives on average one new
inquiry a week.
Teams of two to five individuals are at
work on a variety of projects. One is a smart
sensor to read commercial and residential
energy usage in real time. Another is a social
competition network, where friends get to
vote, for example, on whether Joe Shmo’s
claim that he can make better brownies than
Jane Smith’s is true — what Navarrete refers
to as “formalizing a dare.” Another company
is focusing on lead-generation sales software
for enterprise companies.
Tigerlabs’ next venture, Tigerlabs University, is an accelerator for student entrepreneurs that grew out of Navarrete’s experience over the last five years as an advisor to
the Princeton Entrepreneurship Club at the
university. “I like talking to student entrepreneurs and imparting some of my professional
learning and advice on how to do a startup,”
he says.
O
ver his five-year tenure as a mentor at
the club, Navarrete has seen its membership,
which includes current students as well as
alumni, swell from 100 to 2,000 members.
“Entrepreneurship is growing in terms of career destinations for many undergrads,” he
says. “While banking, law, medicine, and
academia are still very popular for kids coming out of Princeton, I have found that the
most ambitious wanted to be entrepreneurs.”
He traces the source of this interest both to
the recession, which he suggests has motivated students to start their own businesses,
and to the success they have seen among
younger entrepreneurs.

Navarrete’s experiences with students inspired him to launch Tigerlabs University in
the summer of 2012 — mostly as a side project intended to help student entrepreneurs.
“We did it because Tiger Inn was available in
the summer, and the kids lived there for 13
weeks,” says Navarrete. They slept on the
floor or on couches or just put their heads
down for a couple of hours here and there so
that they could keep on working.
The accelerator model that Tigerlabs uses,
says Navarrete, is to invest both capital and
resources in student entrepreneurs in technology startups and give them space for 13
weeks during the summer. Each startup receives $20,000 cash and over $100,000
worth of services from Tigerlabs’ sponsors
that include free legal, public relations, and
accounting support as well as software from
sponsors such as Microsoft and Rackspace, a
cloud computing service. “The value proposition is this,” says Navarrete. “If you are a
team that is sitting in Pennsylvania and
would have to hustle your way to accumulate
all these collective services, capital, and
mentorship, you would use a lot of time and
effort to aggregate them. The idea is that we
are giving you enough so that you can accelerate the development of your product in 13
weeks.”
The model for Tigerlabs University depends in good part on the mentorship of individuals who have had personal and professional success in their careers and have a
“pay forward” mentality — a willingness to
advise and assist young startups to become
businesses. The mentors range from those
who started companies as undergraduates

themselves to those who have
funded those companies, and everything in between.
Last summer the students who
participated in Tigerlabs University came from the University of Chicago, Harvard, Penn State, Lehigh,
Princeton, Virginia Tech, Oxford,
and the Lawrenceville School. The
products the students brought to
the accelerator were mainly consumer apps, for example, a communication platform that enables
people to message others on their
phones without using text messaging — in order to avoid message
chargers, an app that helps people
to discover excellent apps on the
Android market; and a business intelligence tool for small corporations.
Tigerlabs University has generated four portfolio companies. Eko
has a cross-platform mobile app
that makes communications between groups of people more intuitive, enjoyable, and organized by
organizing conversations into
threads. Mapsaurus offers a service
that allows users to easily find great
mobile apps by exploring a graphical representation of the app market.
Another, Panther, empowers
companies to track competitors online by aggregating news, social
media, hiring activity, and more.
The fourth, Phonar, is a platform
that uses location data to help people keep track of all their important
assets, whether they are people,
pets, or vehicles (or anything else).
In the wake of Tigerlabs setting
up its coworking space and its success with Tigerlabs University,
something unexpected happened,
which propelled the evolution of
Tigerlabs to what it is today” It
started to receive visits from executives of medical and pharma companies and a host of others in town.
“The overwhelming feedback was
that we should expand the program
outside the need of shared workspace and can galvanize a community of companies and individuals
to provide more programs,” says
Navarrete.
Tigerlabs decided to expand in
the middle of Tigerlabs University
in the summer of 2012, and Navarrete left Connected Sports Ventures. He partnered with Jack Morrison, the owner of the Blue Point
Grill just two doors away, around
Thanksgiving to develop the space

at 252 Nassau, and the renovations
began the next week. Pushing 24/7
to get the space done quickly, Navarrete was also hustling in the
community to gather supporters.
“I was able to secure financing
from lots of local investors,” he
says. “The individuals who are investing in Tigerlabs are doing so
because they believe in the mission
of supporting the town and galvanizing this community, and all are
active, hands-on investors, and are
active mentors to our portfolio
companies.”
Toward the end of February Tigerlabs opened its second accelerator program, Tigerlabs Health,
which is focused exclusively on
information technology in health
care, which seems perfectly fitted
to Central Jersey. As Navarrete
says, “It is natural to think of this
area of New Jersey as the Silicon
Valley of health care. Health care
information technology is a nascent industry, in the early days of
development.
“I have had conversations at the
C level with large pharma, medical
device companies, and hospital
systems in New York, Princeton,
and Philadelphia, and everyone realizes this is an area where we can
leverage human capital,” says Navarrete.
Tigerlabs Health’s opening set
of entrepreneurs includes teams
from Denver, Chicago, London,
Princeton, New York, and Connecticut. All are in residence. Because over the 13 weeks individuals will be refining their ideas and
perhaps pivoting their mission
slightly based on early learnings or
feedback from mentors, Navarrete
was only willing to give away a little about what they are working on:
senior care, incentivizing wellness,
a self-diagnosis app, aggregating
health-care information (the “big
data” problem), and disease detection. Tigerlabs Health will run all
year and applications can be submitted at any time.
One thing that has surprised Navarrete about the companies in the
first “class” of Tigerlabs Health is
that many have already received
financing. “Of the companies in the
class now, they came at later stage
than we anticipated,” he says.
With money in hand and products built, they were looking for
something different. “They are
coming to help continue to develop
their ideas and are taking advantage of the proximity we have to
industry partners,” he says.
MARCH 6, 2013
When evaluating companies for
its accelerators, Tigerlabs looks not
only at the merit of their ideas but
also at the strength of their management teams. “We look at companies with working prototypes as
well as addressing real world problems through technology,” Navarrete writes in an E-mail. “We
generally look for applicants to
have developed some prototype —
whether it is a web service, mobile
app, or softward application — but
it is not a strict guideline.”
Each 13-week accelerator program ends with a demo day, where
press, investors, industry partners,
and venture capital firms are invited. The goal is that at this point the
startups will be good enough to receive their first round of financing
and/or a significant commercial
contract.
The third leg of Tigerlabs: The
community events it will host to
educate entrepreneurs and bring
them together. “The goal is to be as
inclusive as possible to promote
entrepreneurship in Princeton,”
says Navarrete. Events will include
technology meet-ups; classes ranging from iPhone development to
how to read a capitalization table if
you are not legally inclined; hacker
hours on Wednesdays when a
bunch of developers come in for 24
hours and write code; and founder
dating sessions, where business
people and developers come to
meet potential cofounders for startups.
Tigerlabs is structured as a venture capital fund and takes an equity stake in each portfolio company,
at a percentage that is around the
industry standard for other accelerators.

13, 6, and 3, with one more on the

Tigerlabs has had tremendous
responses from corporations in
central Jersey and is now working
closely with some large pharmaceutical companies about partnering with them regarding their innovation strategy. “Their needs are to
understand startup culture a lot
more,” says Navarrete. “They have

been unable to attract startup companies and are using us to get insight on early-stage companies.”
Navarrete, for his part, is trying to
gain access to commercial partners
and potential acquirers of Tigerlabs’ portfolio companies.
Tigerlabs is also developing another kind of relationship with big
pharma that it will be announcing
in a couple of weeks. “We are talking to them about having our companies participate onsite as entrepreneurs in residence,” says Navarrete. This innovation track will
be part of Tigerlabs Health. The
idea is that pharmaceuticals will
select entrepreneurs who are working on problems that have been
challenging for them; these entrepreneurs will work with the company’s internal staff to accelerate
the development of solutions. Although similar ventures have happened with technology venture
capital firms, Tigerlabs is the first
to bring this model to the pharmaceutical and medical device arena.
Navarrete himself is in fact a
perfect fit for the 24/7 environment
he has created. When asked how he
manages to keep up the mentoring
and hustling that keeps Tigerlabs
moving forward, his response is a
simple one. “Just keep working.”

n addition to Navarrete and
Glickman, the team includes three
others. Venture partner Charlie
Kemper is currently a founding
partner at Revel Partners, an earlyexpansion stage venture firm,
where he led the firm’s investments
in Tracx & MediaBrix, and a cofounder and general partner at ER
Accelerator, a seed-stage investment program in New York City.
James Smits, partner and program
director of Tigerlabs, was formerly
a business development associate
at Banyan Water. Tom Hawkins,
senior advisor at Tigerlabs, is currently the managing partner and
founder of Fort‚ Ventures, a stageagnostic venture capital firm headquartered in Atlanta that invests
with corporate partners in information technology and industrial
technology companies throughout
North America.
Navarrete grew up in Princeton
and graduated from the Delbarton
School in Morristown and then
from Harvard in 1998 with a degree in economics. Both of his parents were management consultants, his mother in education and
his father in consumer goods.
Navarrete started his career at
Merrill Lynch, where, he says, “I
was a banker for five seconds —
which is a year in banking terms.”
He then moved to the company’s
technology group, where he became vice president of technology
strategy and business development. He ended his time at Merrill
doing early stage technology investment for two Merrill Lynch
venture capital funds.
Next he was an investment partner for Mitsui Corporation’s venture capital fund for about a year,
and then moved on to do more of
the same for Internal Capital
Group, a venture capital fund based
in Philadelphia.
At the beginning of 2011, with
Jason Glickman, Navarrete jumped
into the entrepreneurial fray and
cofounded Connected Sports. And
now, he says, “Here I am in a space
with green walls.”

Another problem affecting Roma in 2012 was tougher banking
regulations. Roma faced a significant challenge when the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in September ordered the
bank to improve its credit review
process, compliance with federal
anti-money laundering laws, internal audit procedures, and oversight
of information technology.
According to Inverso, the decision to merge was one of two options being considered by bank ofMedical

traded stock as a way to raise capital. In that case, Roma would have
had to deal with increased oversight and regulations from the federal government.
Under the terms of the merger
agreement, three members of Roma Financial’s board of directors
will be appointed to the board of
directors of Investors Bank, with
the remaining Roma board members serving on an advisory board.
Current Roma Bank customers will
become depositors of Investors
Bank, and will have the same rights
and privileges in Investors as if
their accounts had been established
with Investors Bank on the date
they were established with Roma
Bank.
Inverso said the bank is incrementally reducing its balance sheet
and the excess liquidity in it, and
improving its interest rate risk by
lowering rates on its certificate deposit products. “Interest margins
tightened further as longer term investment options remained unattractive and our loan portfolio
yields contracted from refinancing
and rate competition in the commercial markets.”
Inverso, who plans to retire after
the merger is approved, has said he
is considering a run for his former
longtime 14th District seat in the
state senate. “I’ve been asked by

the leadership of the state to consider running,” Inverso was quoted
as saying in media reports. “There
are a lot of things I need to evaluate
but I did tell them I would consider
it.”
Before his retirement in 2008,
Inverso, 74, spent 16 years as the
state senator from the 14th District.
“I’m highly flattered that they think
I still have appeal but at this juncture there’s been no decision

Information Science Group.
www.mitre.org.
The Mitre Corp., a non-profit
company that manages federally
funded research and development
centers, has opened a new facility
in Forrestal Center where it will
collaborate with Princeton University researchers.
“The joint effort between the
not-for-profit organization and
Princeton researchers harnesses
the country’s brightest scientific
and engineering talent to advance
technologies to address some of the
most complex national challenges
in diverse areas including cyber security, financial engineering, and
data mining,” says a Mitre press
release.
Mitre’s relationship with researchers at Princeton began in
2006, when Gerald Gilbert, who
leads MITRE’s Quantum Information Science (QIS) group, started
collaborating with Princeton faculty on issues related to quantum
error correction and quantum computing.
Gilbert leads the five-person
staff at the university’s Forrestal
Campus, which is also home to
several of the school’s research organizations and industry partners.
“MITRE is excited about building strong collaboration with
Princeton researchers to leverage
their expertise to help solve some
of the nation’s most important
challenges,” said Richard Byrne,
senior vice president and general
manager of Mitre’s Command and
Control Center. “This model brings
academia to bear on a range of issues of critical national importance, and is a dual benefit for our
government sponsors.”
Centers managed by Mitre include the National Security Engineering Center the Department of
Defense; the Center for Advanced
Aviation System Development for
the Federal Aviation Administration; the Center for Enterprise
Modernization for the Internal
Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; the
Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute
for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; and the Judiciary
Engineering and Modernization
Center for the federal court system.
Mitre also has its own independent research and development
program that explores new technologies and new uses of technologies to solve its sponsors’ problems
in the near-term and in the future.

nique of using the rewards-based,
competitive video game model to
engage employees, customers, and
clients. Fear not, though. Rich Napoli, COO of ObjectFrontier, a
software development firm with an
office in Newtown, PA, says companies like his are not developing
business games from the shoot’em-up, zombie-slaughtering kids’
games. Strategies for business are
rather coming from role-playing
games that reward players with
new levels, new magic powers, and
new in-game currency. Reward, after all, is an excellent motivator for
business.
Napoli will moderate a panel of
software and gaming experts at the
New Jersey Technology Council’s
“Gamification and the Enterprise
— Perfect Together” event on
Thursday, March 14, at 4 p.m. at
Robert Half Technology in Woodbridge. Cost: $50. Visit www.njtc.
org.
Speakers include Allan Grafman, chairman of Majesco Entertainment; Gabe Zichermann, one
of the gaming industry’s foremost
names; and Napoli’s son, Drew,
who is ObjectFrontier’s gamification specialist, part time, while he
finishes his graduate studies in
video gaming at the University of
Central Florida.
The idea for ObjectFrontier to
enter the gamification realm came
from a conversation Napoli and his
son had last summer. The younger
Napoli figured that his expertise in
game building married well with
his father’s expertise in building
software that helps companies
make more money through increased productivity.

Rockwood Holdings, a specialty
chemicals company based at 100
Overlook Center, has agreed to buy
the 39 percent stake held by Kemira Oyj, a Finland-based chemicle conglomerate, in Sachtleben
— a titanium dioxide joint veture— for $130 million.
Sachtleben was formed in 2008
combining Rockwood’s titanium
dioxide pigments and functional
additives business and Kemira’s titanium dioxide business.
Sachtleben produces high quality, specialty grade titanium dioxide
for customers in the synthetic fibers, plastics, paints, packaging
inks, coatings, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, catalyst, and paper
industries. This business line also
provides recycling services for sulfuric waste acid.
“Given our prior statements that
the titanium dioxide business is
non-core, it is our key objective
this year to explore and execute on
the best strategic option for Rockwood,” said Seifi Ghasemi, chairman and CEO. “Attaining 100 percent ownership of the joint venture
provides us with the flexibility to
achieve this goal in the time frame
and manner most optimal for maximizing shareholder value.”
Meanwhile, in December, Rockwood Holdings received approval
from the government of Australia
for the acquisition of Talison Lithium Limited for $732 million to expand its battery-grade lithium production to an international customer base.
Earlier in 2012, Talison doubled
its lithium production capacity by

subject has become a calling card
for Napoli, who speaks regularly
on it. On a February day in Nashville, where Napoli is addressing a
large customer service company on
the subject, he explains what gamifying business is.
Compete. The first thing to
know about gamification is that it’s
been around since the first companies hung bulletin boards to chart
which of their salesmen were the
best, worst, and most improved. It
just wasn’t called gamification until about 10 years ago, but the idea
of “setting a marker and measuring
it in a public way” is nothing new,
Napoli says. You know those big
painted thermometers charities display to show how much money a
donation drive has raised? That’s
basically the board game version of
gamification for business reasons.
Gamification proper is based on
competitive video games like
World of Warcraft — games that
feature avatars, increased rank, increased power and status, and other
tangible (if virtual) rewards for
playing well. Gamification’s thrust
is that, like in the video games, people are competitive. They like to
see where they stand compared to
other players.
And here’s the thing that makes
it work — people don’t have to be
playing for anything other than to
see their rank increase over people
they otherwise might not even
know. All the glory is in the game,
and it works whether it’s an action

game like Halo or a word game like
SpellTower, a Boggle-like game of
making words from connected letter tiles for which Napoli’s wife,
Diana, is the number four player in
the world. “She’s working to get to
number three,” Napoli says. “But
she’d never call herself a gamer.”
His wife’s quest is not an all-day
obsession, Napoli says, but rather
an evening and downtime pursuit
for the pure entertainment of playing a game. But her urge to keep
playing simply to become the thirdbest player in the world, despite
that there will be no sneaker endorsements or press junkets, is the
urge companies have realized they
need to tap into.
Back in 1972, when Napoli was
in high school in Queens, he wrote
his first computer program on a
computer processor donated to his
school by Hewlett Packard. He fell
in love with computer programming and went on to get a bachelor’s degree in the subject in 1978
from SUNY-Stony Brook, which at
the time was one of the only places
you could get such a degree.
“There were no computer programming careers,” Napoli says of
the 1970s. So there was no foreContinued on following page

MARCH 6, 2013
O
ne of my colleagues
entertained everyone at the office
the other day when she brought in a
list of polite expressions that are
used everyday in the workplace,
along with their practical — and
not so polite — underlying connotations.
“Oh, I love a challenge,” someone might say as they are handed a
new task. Translation: “This job
sucks.”
Or if the task is handed out at the
last minute, the response might be
“I’ll try to schedule that.” Translation: “Why the f--- didn’t you tell
me sooner?”
I wish I had had that list with me
the other day when I was covering
a West Windsor town council meeting and a gentlewoman from the
Friends of Open Space gave a brief
presentation on a “pocket park” being planned for a 1.5 acre tract of
township land near the corner of
Alexander and Princeton-Hightstown roads. Rebuilding of the adjacent gas station and 7/Eleven
store had just been completed and
now was the time to begin work on
the park, which had been on the
drawing board for years. The money would be raised privately, and
the park was expected to be designed “on an Asian theme.”
Up until that moment
this was just another
“wake me up when it’s
over” moment in the
course of West Windsor
town meetings. I day-dreamed a
little about Asian-designed landscapes and what I imagined would
be minimalist features, ground
cover instead of grass, and zig zag
walks that would create an inviting
sense of mystery in what would
otherwise be a barren spot of useless open space.
But the mention of the word
“Asian” caused Councilman Bryan
Maher to have a concern. “To have
any certain theme of ethnicity,” he
said, means “you are dancing on
thin ice.”
OMG, I thought to myself. Maher needs the list of polite expressions. How about saying something like “That’s very interesting,
and I am looking forward to seeing
the details before we move ahead.”
Translate: “I’ve got some problems
I want to raise in private.”
But Maher didn’t have the list of
euphemisms. Since then the councilman, who serves a useful role as
a watchdog on items such as change
orders on contracts that drive up
the cost of some projects without
review, has doubled down on his
objection. “I have a big problem
with this park because it has an ethnic theme,” he said at another
an ethnic theme in any
publicly funded open
space. Well, maybe he
should travel across
Route 1 and visit Pettoranello Gardens in Princeton, dedicated to the town’s sister city in Italy and to the Italian immigrants
who helped build (literally and
figuratively) the town.
In this great melting pot of ours,
Maher has set up an impossible
dream. All those parks in West
Windsor that now accommodate
soccer fields — I don’t think the
native Americans invented that
game. Those village greens in New
England — hmm. And how FrenchAmericans must glow when they
visit Liberty State Park in northern
New Jersey, and stare in awe at the
French-designed and constructed
Statue of Liberty.
Asian influences abound in architecture that has formed our allAmerican landscape: Chicago’s
John Hancock Center and the Willis Tower, designed by Fazlur Rahman Khan; the World Trade Center,
designed by Minoru Yamasaki,
who also designed the Woodrow
Wilson School on the Princeton
campus; and the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial, designed by Maya Lin.
The city of Portland, Oregon,
boasts the Lan Su Chinese Garden,
where a poem etched into a rock
reads “Most cherished in this mun-

meeting. “It is on public property,
plus, think about its location. It is
between the 7-Eleven and PJ’s
Pancake House. This is an apple
pie, All-American part of town.
This Asian theme is over the top.”
His objection, he explained in a
letter to the editor is that “public
parks on public land should not be
‘themed’ toward any particular ethnicity. It is simply bad public poli-
Borrowing from other
traditions is an allAmerican tradition.
So what’s not to like
about an Asian park?
cy, in my view, and there are reasons why it is not widely done.
People of all races in the U.S.
should peacefully co-exist and not
feel as though any other ethnicity is
getting some special treatment.”
Maher insisted to me that he has
traveled far and wide in his business dealings (he is an MBA who
early in his career worked for Donald Trump) and that he hasn’t seen

dane world is a place without traffic.” It was written by a 16th century poet, Wen Zhengming.
That part of town that Maher
holds up as all-American includes
the Valero gas station, owned by a
family of Sikhs. And the parent
company of that all-American
7-Eleven is a franchise in a chain
owned by a Tokyo company.
A word about West Windsor. According to the most recent census,
West Windsor’s population is now
around 38 percent Asian. The mayor, Shing-Fu Hsueh, is an immigrant. The mayor’s son, a Princeton
University graduate and investment advisor, has — in the great
tradition of the American melting
pot — changed the spelling of his
name to make it easier for the rest
of us to pronounce: Steve Shueh.
And in the 2011 election, in his
first run for town council, Bryan
Maher came in second in a six-person race for three council seats,
earning 2,063 voters, just eight behind the front runner. But the fourth
place finisher was only 20 votes
behind Maher. If I were Maher and
thinking about running for re-election, I would choose my words
carefully before knocking the idea
of an Asian park. Mitt Romney’s
stance on immigration comes to
mind.
I am confident that some sort of
park will bloom at the corner of Alexander and Princeton-Hightstown
Road. And the ethnic influences
may be even more than we imagine
today. At the ribbon-cutting Maher
should be there with the other
elected officials and smile broadly
when asked for a comment.
Bryan, here’s a suggestion: “If
you want to be happy for a lifetime
create a garden.” It’s a Chinese
proverb, of course, but borrowing
from other traditions is truly an allAmerican thing to do.
