J
oe Allegra knows a thing or
two about selling companies. He
sold his software firm, Princeton
Softech, in 1998 for $43 million. In
2001 he became a venture capitalist, and is currently a partner at Edison Ventures, where he specializes
in investing in companies that have
$4 to $20 million in revenue. Edison likes to buy a company, build
its business, and sell it again about
five years later for a healthy profit.
Since Allegra joined Edison, the
Lenox Drive-based venture firm
has invested in 190 companies, and
has overseen more than 100 exits.
Allegra has managed about a dozen
of those company sales. He has also served on the board of directors
for 25 companies.
So, if you’re a small business
owner, when should you start
thinking about selling your company? “You should know when you
start your company,” says Allegra,
who will speak Wednesday, April
9, at 6:30 p.m. at the Princeton
Marriott for the New Jersey Entrepreneurial Network session on

“Exit Strategies — Why, When,
and How to Sell Your Business.”

$50.
Allegra says a company founder
should always be mindful of her
plan for selling a business, because
selling a company doesn’t begin
with a search for buyers. It begins
by developing a strategy for organizing the company for a potential
sale. For instance, Allegra says, a
business owner should have goals,
and a timeline in mind. A company
might, for example, plan to go from
$5 million in revenue, increase it to
$25 million, and sell the company
for $75 million, within five years.
Any potential investors in the company should know that timeline up
front.
Allegra says a disagreement between investors about this can torpedo a sale. He recalls one incident
where a company’s owners got a
good offer for the company, but
didn’t sell it because one of the
other investors had bought into it at
such a high valuation that they had
to hold out for more. Unfortunately, the company’s fortunes took a
turn for the worse and they had to
sell it later at a loss.
Shop Around. Allegra says it
pays to understand who the strategic players are in your industry, and
to build relationships with them.
Larger companies find it easier to
acquire companies with whom
they already have a relationship. “I
often think the best acquisitions
come from existing business relationships, where people can work
with you and see that there is value
to what you do,” Allegra says. The
idea is to make it easy for them to
imagine integrating your company
into theirs.
Specialize. Allegra says small
companies tend to have more appeal when they specialize in a niche
product. Larger companies tend to

have a whole suite of products.
They look for small companies to
fill holes.
“Not only does it help them to
sell more of your stuff, but they
might lose in competition because

Be Prepared. Allegra says it’s a
good idea to always be prepared to

current environment, Allegra says,
companies are flush with cash, but
their operations are slim from cost
cutting during the great recession.
That means many are on the lookout for ways to expand their business, including buying smaller
companies.
Allegra says it’s essential to
keep financial reports in good order in case someone wants to look
at your books. “I always used to
say, when I was running a company, that you need to run it like
you’re going public,” Allegra says.
In a way, you might be, without
knowing it — if you are bought by

The Millennials:
Game Changers?
E
very time a new generation
of young people comes of age to
join the workforce, someone comes
along with advice on how to manage them. What makes them different? What do they bring to the proverbial table? How do we utilize
their perspectives to complement
the establishment?
Millennials — loosely defined
The Futurist: Jim
Lee speaks on millennials in the workplace
April 14 at the HR
Management Association.
as those born from the early 1980s
to the early 2000s — are different.
Yes, there’s a ton and a half written
about their whiny entitlement issues, their lack of respect for authority, their level of self-focus that
would make Ayn Rand blush —
and how all this fits or doesn’t into
the American workplace. But
James Lee, founder and president
of Strategic Foresight Investments
(StratFi) near Wilmington, Delaware, sees today’s 20-to-early30-somethings differently. They
are game changers for the simple
reason that they just don’t fit the
yay-team approach to business that
everyone who came before them
did. And this change in the game
may or may not go so well because
of that.
Lee will present “The Millennials in The Workplace: Challenges
and Blessings of the Greatest Generation Ever” at the Human Resources Management Association
of Princeton Monday, April 14,
from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Princeton. Call 609-8440200, E-mail [email protected], or visit hrma-nj.shrm.
org.
Lee makes his living in the future. He even has a degree in it.
Lee, who grew up in Kennett
Square, Pennsylvania, earned his
bachelor’s in economics from the
College of William & Mary in
1991. He became a financial planner for American Express until
1998, when he became a portfolio
manager at Lau Associates for a decade. In 2007 he earned his master’s in studies of the future (foresight) from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, one of only six
master’s programs in that subject.
Combining his head for numbers (inherited from his banker
mother) and scientific rigor (which
he inherited from his scientist father, a combination he says made
him “a sort of Frankenstein of investment”), Lee started StratFi in
2012. Mainly he manages investors’ wealth by looking at where
trends and markets are heading, but
he also spends a lot of time researching and writing about futures.
And in this capacity, Lee foresees a lot of promise and a lot of
potential trouble when it comes to
Millennials. Their me-first approach to life in general is not combative, nor accepting of established
norms, which makes it hard, he
says, for businesses to know what
to do about them.
Different expectations. First
and foremost, Lee says, companies
need to realize that Millennials
have a vastly different set of expectations for their lives. It’s easy to
look at them and think they’re entitled and don’t care, but the truth is
that young people have a great vantage point when it comes to seeing
how things play out for dedicated
workers.

Ages 2 through
teen
hen Santiago Orosco
thinks of comfort food,
he thinks of the food
from his Argentinian heritage. So
three years ago, when a space in
Bordentown City opened up,
Orosco and his mother, Estela
Buontempo Orosco, pounced on
the opportunity to turn an available clothing store space into an
eclectic cafe.
The space at 210 Farnsworth
Ave. has remained the home of
Under the Moon Café ever since.
Orosco said that he and his
mother ran a small restaurant only a block away from the current
location that served lighter Italian
fare, but that the limited space
prevented them from delving into
the delicious recipes of their heritage, which requires sizeable
grills to prepare authentic Argentinian meat dishes.
“Our menu at the smaller restaurant kept expanding as we
tried new things, and we almost
always sold out of our daily selections of sandwiches and pasta
dishes, but it was just a counter
space, and it was hard for us to
get our concept across this way.
When the opportunity came for
us to move into a bigger place,
we took it,” Orosco said.
At Under the Moon Café, diners enjoy comfort foods with flavors of Argentina, Italy and
Spain, though the menu is ever
evolving to accommodate new
ideas. One of the café’s newest
features is a brunch menu, aimed
to draw guests in for a leisurely
Sunday morning meal of stuffed
French toast, frittata primavera,
huevos rancheros and more.
Along with the artistically mismatched tableware and décor,
guests are sure to notice something new with every visit.
“Italian food is very popular
around here,” Orosco said, explaining that he had some trouble
introducing Argentinian flavors
into the Bordentown restaurant
scene at first.
“Especially because it is different, we want the restaurant to
The design of Under the Moon Cafe features mismatched
furniture, utensils, and dishes.
have an atmosphere of comfort.
This is why we offer an alternative to the typical ‘white tablecloth’ restaurants that can be
found all around town. Everything at Under the Moon Café is
homemade, and our menu offers
a fusion of flavors from Europe,
so people can try something new
in a comfortable, homey setting,
or stick to something they love.”
After traveling extensively
throughout Spain, Orosco
brought the concept of “tapas,” or
Spanish style small plates, back
to the café. Guests can order a
few small plates at a time as appetizers, or several to share
among friends for an interactive
meal, a great way to try a little bit
of everything.
Orosco said that what he and
his mother love most about the
restaurant business is creating
an enjoyable culinary experience
for guests. This is why, in addition to menu mainstays like beef
empanadas and UTM’s famous
meatloaf, the restaurant offers
daily specials and an array of
freshly made desserts.
“Seeing someone enjoy their
food and really clean their plate
makes me happy,” he said.
Almost as varied as the décor,
which incorporates vintage suit-
cases and antique radios into
wall treatments, is the mix of music heard throughout a meal. A
fast-paced salsa may be followed
by a soulful Ella Fitzgerald number, but in this cozy comfort food
café, it is hardly out of sync.
Marketing director Alirio Pirela
said that the beauty of the restaurant is that everyone can find
something to relate to.
“I have been involved with the
Under the Moon Cafe for over
two years now,” he said. “When I
moved from New York City to
Bordentown, I came in for dinner
one day and absolutely enjoyed
the experience. Mama — Santiago’s mother, that’s what we call
her — is always there. The restaurant feels like home and I’m
glad to be a part of it. I personally
recommend the steak…and the
lamb…and the desserts!”
Under the Moon is now featuring their “Mexican Nite” every
Tuesday and Wednesday night
offering classic dishes such as,
short rib tacos, enchiladas, loaded nachos and much more. They
will participate as well in Bordentown City’s Restaurant Week.

JUNCTION BARBER SHOP
Review: ‘The Barber of Seville’
33 Princeton-Hightstown Rd Princeton Jct NJ 08550
Traditional
Barber Shop
Serving Our
Neighbors
Since 1992
by Stu Duncan
t has been a full generation
since Stephen Wadsworth first
came to McCarter Theater (with his
trilogy of plays by French playwright Marivaux), and he is now
welcomed as an old friend. His
reputation as director, translator (or
as he prefers it, “adaptor”) of both
opera and spoken plays, has become worldwide. He has worked in
Milan, Vienna, London, Edinburgh,
Amsterdam, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Santa Fe, and Seattle, and
his current staging of what is being
called “The Figaro Plays” is certain
to add much to that reputation.
Wadsworth, as McCarter’s Emily Mann has said, is “passionately
an advocate for staying within the
period and making that present
tense. There’s no one like him who
can do that.”
Here “The Barber of Seville”
(the 1775 comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, not the familiar 1816 opera by Rossini) is as fresh and modern as it was almost two-and-a-half
centuries ago — with a superb cast,
dialogue timed to extraordinary
comic precision, impeccable costuming and lighting against Charles
Corcoran’s multiple-level set —
and even the silences commanding
attention, brilliant in their intent.
The plot begins with the premise
that Count Almaviva (Neal Bledsoe) has fallen in love with a young
woman and followed her to Seville
disguised as a poor student. In Seville, he runs into Figaro (Adam
Green) — his former servant, now
the local barber. Figaro informs
him that the young woman, Rosine
(Naomi O’Connell), is the ward of
Doctor Bartolo (Derek Smith),
who hopes to marry her for her so-

cial status and money. Desperate to
stop the marriage and woo Rosine
himself, the Count enlists Figaro’s
help. And we are off.
B
eaumarchais uses almost
every device of his century to comic effect: disguises and mistaken
identity, treachery, and the resulting confusion. Director Wadsworth
keeps the pace brisk, and his company — every one of its members
— easily handles the subtleties of
character.
When there might be some confusion in meaning, adaptor Wadsworth steps in. For example, as
noted in McCarter materials, when
Rosine calls Figaro “monsieur” the
18th-century audience would instantly have realized that was a
very rare thing — a gentlewoman
calling a servant “monsieur.” It
might well be completely missed
today, so Wadsworth simply adds a
bit to the dialogue. Figaro says, “It
is unusual to call a servant monsieur.” And Rosine says, “It is unusual to respect a servant.” The
translator has become the adaptor.
in Seville: Neal Bledsoe, left, and Adam
Green.
And perhaps much more.
We will see many of the cast in
the next work: “The Marriage of
Figaro” opening next week. Green
will be back as a superb Figaro, sly,
but never devious; clever, but not
with insouciance. Bledsoe is a
charming Count in all of his disguises. O’Connell is both pretty
and effective as Rosine, soon to be
the Countess Almaviva. And Smith
steals entire scenes as Doctor Bartolo, determined to keep Rosine for
himself.
It is extremely rare to find a
show so superbly honed and polished. And even more so to realize
that it will be only a week before
we see its likes again.

Bisgaier says, “We are hopeful that we’ll
be able to secure funding to provide camps

dollars can impact children’s lives, they’ll be
thrilled to donate to this cause.”

Scholarship
Mental Illness
Princeton Area Community Foundation is offering scholarships for high school
students to participate in the work of their
communities through the Rebecca Annitto

Recognizing that students sometimes must
choose between working for pay and an enriching volunteer experience, the fund offers
three awards of $2,000 each to allow motivated, service-oriented young people paid
work experiences at nonprofits.
Annitto thought it would be great if students could find local volunteer opportunities that matched their interests, abilities, and
schedule. She died in a car crash in 2005 at
the age of 14.
Submit a resume or overview of your activities and volunteer commitments; a onepage essay describing the opportunity you
want to pursue and why it is meaningful to
you, including contact information for a staff
member at the proposed employer who can
verify the details of your project; and a letter
of recommendation from a person familiar
with your prior volunteer work.

For Artist Williams, Every ruffle and Dollar Mattered
‘M
by ilene Dube
icah Williams: Portrait Artist,” on view at the Morven Museum & Garden from Friday, April 11, through Sunday,
September 14, tells the story of a new America of the 19th century, when itinerant folk
artists portrayed New Jersey’s farmers, orchard growers, militia officers, politicians,
silversmiths, potters, carpenters, and families. An opening reception takes place Thursday, April 10.
Folk art, a powerful form of individual
self-expression, is prized for the informal
connection it offers to our past. To see what
humans created many years ago to tell their
stories, and how it still resonates today, stirs
the soul.
“Williams’ works are represented in many
major museums and are highly sought after
by folk art collectors, yet there has never
been an exhibition dedicated solely to his
work,” says Bernadette Rogoff, curator of
museum collections for the Monmouth
County Historical Association, where the exhibition originated.
Beginning in the early 1900s, folk art experts became aware of a distinctive group of
pastel portraits from Monmouth County,
New Jersey. The artist was at first identified
as Henry Conover, based on the inscription
on one of the portraits.
The Monmouth County Historical Association in Freehold, housed in a Colonial Revival building based on Mount Vernon, started receiving donations from the descendants
of the sitters.
In the early 1950s art historian Irwin Fearn
Cortelyou discovered the artist’s name was
not Henry Conover but Micah Williams —
Conover was the name of the subject of the
portrait. By the late 1950s, MCHA had the
largest public collection of Micah Williams’
work.
Williams (1782-1837) is believed to have
grown up in Hempstead, Long Island, probably the son of a farmer. By 1806, Williams
was living in New Brunswick, and soon after
marrying Margaret Priestly he went into
partnership with her brother as a silver plater,
buying a house on Church Street.
As a plater Williams worked for harness,
bridle, and carriage makers, and several customers were well-known silversmiths in
New York and New Jersey. “Williams was
clearly creative, inventive, energetic, and
clever,” writes Rogoff in the catalog accompanying the exhibition. He also invented a
silver-plating process and bought stock.
Due to the economic circumstances of the
time, his good fortune began to unravel by
1814. To stave off looming disaster, he began
buying property and flipping it, but his debts
to friends and local businesses mounted, and
he wound up going to debtor’s prison.
“Debtor laws of the time were medieval,”
says Rogoff. “You could be seized, arrested,
and imprisoned simply on the word of your
creditor. Williams was not alone. There was
a huge spike in debtors the year before. In the
19th century, there was a serious and real
sense of shame for failing financially. It was
seen as a moral failing.”
The sheriff and his assistants went to Williams’ house and dragged everything out, including the beds his children slept in, says
Rogoff. “His wife was pregnant with their
fourth child. Everyone came out on the street
and watched.”
Most debtors of the time owed about $500.
Williams owed $5,000. “He was an overachiever as a debtor. His list of creditors was
four pages long, but he signed it beautifully,
as if it were a painting. He knew no way out
and was going to own it,” says Rogoff.
Imprisoned in November, 1814, Williams
may have been released in January of the following year, according to Rogoff’s research.
“Debtors released from prison were allowed
to keep the clothes on their back, their family’s clothes, and $10 worth of tools of your
trade. He never practiced silver plating
again.”
He instead took to making pastel portraits,
even making his own pastels from ground
pigment. In the spring of 1815, he hit the
road. His profession for the next 20 years
was as a portrait artist.
Williams relied on the same customer
base as his silver plating practice, according
to Rogoff. “These people wanted nice tableware and they wanted nice portraits. Painted
portraits were no longer just the arena of the
Family portraits: Portraits by Micah Williams of John Williams, above left, and Margaret Priestly Williams. At right,

wealthy. With itinerant folk artists you could
afford something nice for the foyer or parlor.”
Some artists advertised in newspapers,
but Williams relied on word of mouth from
his sitters, and the word was good, keeping
him busy. From each adult he painted, there
would be a spouse, children, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and so forth who also
wanted their picture painted.
He was sympathetic to his subjects, rendering wrinkles and corneal blood vessels in
a subtle and respectful way. He layered pastels for a lush feeling, and the paintings look
like he enjoyed working on them, rather than
churning them out.
It was a good time to be an artist, says
Rogoff. “It was the beginning of conspicuous
consumption and disposable income. People
were defining who they were by having nice
in 1815, says rogoff, ‘Micah
Williams, as well as artists
from Maine to the South,
were defining America stylistically. None were trained.
They were relying on their
own artistic impulse and experiences to create a fresh
American voice.’
things. The opening of the Erie Canal made
transportation of mass goods easier.”
“In 1815 America was a brand new country, taking its lead from Europe for literature,
art, music,” says Rogoff. “James Fennimore
Cooper was writing American novels for an
American audience. Stephen Foster, the ‘father of American music,’ was writing ‘Camptown Races’ and ‘Old Folks at Home,’ and
Micah Williams, as well as artists from
Maine to the South, were defining America
stylistically. None were trained. They were
relying on their own artistic impulse and experiences to create a fresh American voice.”
By 1815 Williams — who may have developed his drawing and drafting skills as a
plater — had a style that is identifiable and
individual and remained constant throughout
his career as he traveled the counties of the
Garden State.
Along the way he came to Princeton,
where he is believed to have painted Commodore Robert Field Stockton (1795-1866)
in the 1820s. Stockton was a third-generation
resident of Morven, head of the Pacific Fleet,
and a U.S. Senator. The exhibition at Morven
represents a kind of homecoming for the portrait, as the museum has recently acquired it
from the estate of Kristina Johnson (U.S. 1,
February 26).
The work came up at Northeast
Auction in August, 2013, and with
the help of a donor Morven was able
to bid on it.
“Like most of Micah Williams’
output the pastel is unsigned,” says
Morven curator Elizabeth Allan. “It
is lined with a Trenton newspaper —
my best guess is the True American
— that dates to January of 1822. The
frame of the portrait states that is it
of ‘Mr. Stockton.’ Kristina Johnson’s records indicated that Mr.
Stockton was Robert Field Stockton, our Morven resident. This is of
course fairly difficult to prove. The
age of the sitter is right — in 1822
Robert would have been 27 years
old. He was at sea for much of 1821
but was back in the United States by
the summer of 1822. He spent some of this
time in Charleston where he met his wife,
Maria Potter. The two were married in March
of 1823, and the couple then moved to Princeton. It is certainly possible that Robert had
his portrait done during a visit home or to
commemorate his marriage in 1823.”
Williams used newspapers as lining between the wood backing and the portrait,
which gives a clue as to when they were
painted. Newspapers of the time were printed on an acid-free rag. “The portrait is sharp
and clean with not one tentative line,” says
Rogoff, herself an artist. “The man was
good.”
S
he guesses Williams charged anywhere from $5 to $10 for a portrait, depending on the background, if there were elaborate poses, and if the hands would show. All
were of a standard size. He did them quickly
— often in a day — and handed them over
when finished. He had nothing to do with the
framing.
When Williams turned 46 he moved his
family to 119 Clinton Street on New York’s
Lower East Side, where he could learn to
paint in oils. There is a portrait of Williams
on a wood panel, done by an artist he studied
with. “His early oils are closer in color palette to the pastels, but he gets darker as he
gets older, pushing himself to become an academic artist with chiaroscuro and shadowing,” says Rogoff.
Williams had trouble getting commissions in New York — there were a few portraits of ship masters — and by 1832 he
moved back to New Brunswick. Thousands
were dying in the cholera epidemic, and with
partners Williams bought property that landed him in court six months later for non-payment.
“His father-in-law never forgave him after
that,” says Rogoff. Williams stopped working in 1835, and two years later died at the
age of 55, leaving his wife Margaret an indigent widow.
Rogoff posits a possible explanation as to
why Williams ceased painting: “On June 19,
1835, at 5 p.m., everyone in New Brunswick
heard a roar, and there was an enormous dark
cloud from the Northwest coming toward
town. People left their homes and ran to the
banks of the Raritan River, which saved their
lives — there was a Wizard-of-Oz scale tornado that hit New Brunswick and leveled
every structure in a three-block radius.”
According to one newspaper account,
Williams may have been injured. Another
theory is that he may have lost everything —
documents, records, and correspondence.
“Or he just gave up — it was one defeat too
many,” says Rogoff.
Another theory she posits is that he may
have been an alcoholic. Correspondence between two of his sons talks about “the tragedy of their father.”
Williams was buried in a graveyard next
to the Presbyterian Church on George Street
in New Brunswick. “But it wasn’t his last
journey,” says Rogoff. The church decided to
relocate the burials in 1928 to the Van Liew
Cemetery in North Brunswick. Williams is
buried next to his wife, who died in 1863, and
her parents.
“These days, there are thousands of pictures of us posted online all the time, and it
doesn’t mean anything,” says Rogoff. “But
the formal portrait — this was it, the one time
you’d get your image done. No one knew
photography was coming in 1837. Every button, every ruffle, were all deliberate and
meant a great deal.”

Area Historic Sites put Out The Welcome Mat
T
he oldest standing house
in Mercer County today would
have been demolished in the early
20th century if a plan proposed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad had succeeded. The company was ready to
lay track on the spot where the Watson House stood at 151 Westcott
Avenue in Hamilton.
But the homestead built in 1708
was spared in 1915, thanks to successful protests of present and former owners — including Daughters of the American Revolution
(DAR), whose members renovated
and continue to maintain the building.
And thanks to people — including DAR member Rita Kline —
you can tour the house this month
when the organization opens its
doors for the 2014 season on Sunday, April 13, from 1 to 4 p.m.
The house tour is part of a history weekend sponsored by Friends
for the Abbott Marshlands, April
12 and 13 (see sidebar).
The Watson House and its property have withstood several changes and a major restoration since it
was first built, and more recently,
since Kline joined the organization’s founders committee 10 years
ago.
A sundial that was once the center of the herb garden is no longer
standing, but Kline remembers its
apt inscription: “Tyme Doth Ever
Fleet Awaye.”
Though time may have fled
since the 1700s, the founders group
aims to keep that period’s events
relevant today. At a recent pre-season session, Kline and caretaker
John Brady share accounts from
old newspapers and literature writ-
by lynn robbins
ten by DAR members and from the
diary of Isaac Watson’s father, William.
The documents recount the
property’s history from the year it
was built, to 1815 when the last
Watson descendants lived there, to
its acquisition by Mercer County
and its renovation beginning in the
mid-1960s.
For the record, Isaac Watson
came to America with his father
and two siblings from Farnsfield,
Nottinghamshire, England, in
1684. As a member of the Society
of Friends, William wanted to live
in a country that would give him
greater religious freedom. After a
brief stay in Philadelphia he purchased 700 acres of land in what
he called the “province of West
Jersey” and built a log house. He
farmed the land and sold its harvests to markets in Philadelphia.
Because there were no roads, researchers conclude that he chose
the property for its proximity to
water routes leading to the city.
After his father’s death, Isaac
built a stone house on the family’s
land (which had grown to 800
acres) where he lived with his wife,
Johanna Foulke, and their nine
children. The house was described
as plain but substantial as befit a
Quaker household. The foundations and walls were made of stones
from the falls of the Delaware
brought to the property by flat
boats. A small wooden addition
was later added to the house.
When Isaac Watson died in 1727
one of his sons inherited the property and later divided it with his
son. The last descendant to live in
the house was Isaac’s grandson, Jo-
seph. He and his wife took charge
of the house in 1795 and raised a
large family, living there for 20
years. Eventually, the estate was
broken up among several deed
holders.
The Watson House is now
owned by Mercer County and has
been leased to New Jersey DAR
since 1964, when the organization
took on the building’s restoration
as part of the New Jersey Tercentenary celebration. Mary Roebling,
the first woman to head a major
U.S. bank, was a key player in
The Watson House,
built in 1708 and
saved from demolition in 1915, is on the
New Jersey and national registers of historic sites.
launching and supporting the restoration. The house now serves as
NJDAR’s state headquarters and is
listed in the New Jersey Register of
Historic Sites and National Register of Historic Sites.
The land where the house sits
and the surrounding area are as
well known as the house itself. The
area was once home for the Lenni
Lenape Indians and has been a site
of well documented archeological
digs. Signage on the property informs visitors: “Archeology records show a woodland Indian
population dating from 6,000 BC
making this area one of the most
significant Native American sites
in Eastern U.S. Dr. Charles Abbott
(1843-1919) archeologist and naturalist brought worldwide recognition to the site.” The marshlands
surrounding the Watson House
support at least 245 species of birds
and 62 species of fish.
To this day, the founders committee maintains the interior and
exterior of the house while Mercer
County maintains the grounds.
Caretaker Brady lives on the Hamilton site and oversees the property.
Hamilton-based
housekeeper
Thelma Cucinotta, at age 90, keeps
the interior orderly and ready for
visitors.
Attendees at the pre-opening
session learned that the restored
fireplace, the windows, the ceiling
beams, and the furniture all have
stories to tell.
In the 1700s window sashes
were often made of lead as were the
sashes at the Watson House. During the Revolutionary War the lead
was taken from the windows and
melted into bullets for American
troops. The sashes were replaced
with ones made of wood.
The tall, ornate chair (not originally from the house) by the parlor
fireplace was made from timbers of
the British Frigate “Augusta,”
which lay underwater 132 years after it was sunk by the American
forces in 1777 on the Delaware
River near Red Bank. The construction of the beams and rafters
in the attic suggest that they came
from a ship or were made by ship
carpenters.
The huge kitchen fireplace,
which served to heat the room and
cook the family’s food in the early
days, had been plastered long after
the house was built. Working with
Trenton-based architect Samuel
Mountford, restoration builder
Harry Bentley removed the plastered section of the wall and found
a shallow fireplace. DAR’s account reads that he decided it was
not the original and persevered until he found a much larger fireplace
behind the small one. This has now
become the central attraction of the
room.
“The Watson House is a hidden
gem. There are even chapters of
DAR that don’t know it exists,”
says Kline, a member of DAR for
45 years. She has served as the state
regent and as a recording secretary,
and is currently chair of the founders committee.
Becoming a DAR member can
require a lot of research, Kline
says. You have to trace your genealogy back to your ancestor who
fought in the revolution or contributed to it in some way. “I was lucky.
The research had been done by my
great aunts and grandparents,” she

says. Kline’s ancestor Major Benjamin Ogle fought in the revolution
in the Frederick Militia, and records show that his brother James
also fought in the war.
For candidates who need to do
the research, DAR offers help. “We
have genealogical workshops
throughout the state. There are
hobbyists and professional genealogists in the DAR. At the headquarters in Washington, D.C., we have a
renowned genealogical library and
a beautiful museum,” Kline says.
The DAR website lists 177,000
members among 3,000 chapters
nationwide with 47 in New Jersey,
including three in Trenton and one
in Princeton.
Kline grew up in Washington,
D.C., in a socially and politically
active family. Her grandfather,
Ambrose Durkin, was a member of
the Sons of the American Revolution and was Woodrow Wilson’s
bodyguard and chief of detectives
for the Washington Police Department. Her father, John Cahill, was
vice president of the Office and
Professional Employees Union and
president of the union Local 2 in
Washington. Her mother was a
full-time homemaker who was active in DAR.
Living in D.C., Kline experienced current events and history
first-hand. “I went to one of President Kennedy’s inaugural balls. I
met the president of the AFL-CIO
and several senators and congressman,” she says.
Take a Tour of History
Rita married Len Kline in 1961.
They moved to North Andover,
Massachusetts, and eventually
moved to Red Bank, New Jersey,
where they live now. They have two
daughters and four grandchildren.
As the inscription on the Watson
House sundial implied, time fleets
away. But as Kline and the founders members would tell you, the
value of times past cannot be measured by moving shadows — it’s
the people, their causes, and their
actions that shape history, which in
turn shapes the present. And it’s a
place like the Watson House that
keeps connections between the
past and the present alive. It has
been more than 300 years since the
house was built and 50 years since
the DAR began giving tours. “We
want to keep it going for a long
time to come,” says Kline.

hen a woman enters
Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, she’s not just a
shopper, she's a guest. Customer service has been at the forefront of the store’s philosophy
since Karen Thompson founded
it in 1988. And its Palmer Square
shop has been one of Princeton’s
best kept secrets for the past 11
years.
“We’re very service-oriented
and understand people’s needs,
and we try to match them to what
the industry makes,” Thompson
says. To match customer demand with the latest lingerie
styles, employees make annual
trips to shows in New York.
These trips are just one aspect
of the intense training Lace Silhouettes’ bra fitters receive.
“Staff go through many hours of
training, initially working with one
of our veteran bra fitters,”
Thompson says. “Some of our fitters have been fitting for 20
years, and they’ll be paired up
with someone new to the company.”
Because of the emphasis on
training and customer satisfaction, you can expect thorough,
personal service from the mo-

ment you step into the store,
whether you’re looking for one
specific bra or a whole new bra
wardrobe. You’ll be expertly
measured and shown to a fitting
room, where bras to try on will be
brought to you.
Thompson takes pride in the
depth and breadth of experience
gained through 23 years in the
bra business. The benefits of
working with highly knowledgeable and experienced staff shine
through for women who discover
how much better they feel when
their bras are the proper sizes
and shapes for their body types.
Thompson suggests that
guests of the store take advantage of the free bra fittings Lace
Silhouettes offers. Guests can
make an appointment in advance
or simply walk in to the store. Depending on the type of bra wardrobe you’re looking to develop,
the fitting can take up to an hour.
The hour is well worth it. “It’s
very life changing for women, especially full-busted women,”
Thompson says. Once they’ve
been properly fitted, women tend
to be more confident because
they’re more comfortable and
look better.

PREVIEW
pink Floyd Conference a First for Fans Everywhere
B
lame it on big brothers.
While growing up in Jerusalem,
Israel, Gilad Cohen became fascinated with British pop, rock, and
progressive rock music that was
created long before he was born.
His late father, who was a computer
programmer at the Bank of Israel,
and his mother, a librarian at the Israeli Ministry of Education, were
both amateur musicians and loved
Israeli folk music and classical music. Perhaps to rebel against their
parents’ tastes, Cohen’s older
brothers had rock music on the stereo.
“I inherited the love for rock,
specifically for the Beatles and
Pink Floyd, from my older brothers,” says Cohen, a composer, performer, and music theorist, as well
as a PhD candidate in composition
at Princeton University.
Cohen adds that it may have
been impossible to ignore Pink
Floyd in his native Israel, such is
the nation’s love for these grandfathers of progressive/art rock.
“There are a couple of countries
outside of the United States where
Pink Floyd is huge — France is
one, and Israel is another,” Cohen
says. “If you stop someone on the
street in Israel and ask who their favorite band is, Pink Floyd will be in
the number one or number two
spot. I’m not exaggerating.”
It is only natural, then, for Cohen to incorporate his love for Pink
Floyd into his academic studies. He
also wants to share his passion for
the group with the university and
the Princeton community at large.
Along with fellow PhD candidate
Dave Molk, Cohen initiated and organized an interdisciplinary conference celebrating the music, art,
and culture of Pink Floyd, titled
“Pink Floyd: Sound, Sight, and
Structure.” Hosted by Princeton
University, the academic conference, which runs Thursday through
Sunday, April 10 to 13, is thought
to be the first ever based entirely on
this legendary band.
The conference will include
world premieres of acoustic compositions and arrangements inspired by Pink Floyd’s music, lecture-concerts, a panel discussion, a
community-wide Pink Floyd jam
session, a public screening of the
film “The Wall,” and an exhibition
of Pink Floyd album covers and art.
In addition, Princeton will welcome James Guthrie, producer and
engineer extraordinaire, who oversaw the creation of Pink Floyd’s
1979 double album, “The Wall,”
and won a Grammy Award in 1980
in the non-classical engineering
category.
Guthrie will present two sessions. The first — set for Saturday,
April 12, in McAlpin Hall — is the
surround sound playback of the
producer/engineer’s 5.1 mixes of
“The Dark Side of the Moon” and
“Wish You Were Here” and special
world premiere of his just-finished
5.1 mix of Roger Waters’ “Amused
to Death” on state-of-the-art
Acoustic Transducer Company
(ATC) speakers.
The second is the Sunday, April
by Susan Van Dongen
13, keynote address: “Surrounded
by Recollections of Pink Floyd Records” in McCosh 10. A panel follows with Pink Floyd scholar
Shaugn O’Donnell, an electric guitarist and music theorist from the
faculty of the City University of
New York’s Graduate Center. Also
included is Nigel Smith, a musician
and professor of ancient and modern literature at Princeton University.
The seed for the conference was
first planted when Cohen presented
the idea to his advisor, Scott Burnham, professor of music history
and theory at Princeton, as well as
Steven Mackey, composer, guitarist, educator, and the head of the
music department at Princeton.
“They both liked the idea very
much,” Cohen says. “It was this
initial support that allowed it to
happen.”
“I came in a little afterward, but
we both knew that our goal would
be to bring in as many people as we
could who are passionate about the
band,” co-organizer Molk says.
“We’ll be covering a lot of different
topics, and although we wanted the
conference to be academic, we also
want it to be approachable, not in
any way bogged down by jargon.
Our goal is that the conference will
be accessible for anyone who
comes, to make the long weekend
of a true celebration of the band, its
culture and impact. When we think
about it, even spread over four
days, there’s not enough to do the
band and its music justice. We’re
just scratching the surface.”
Cohen reflects that most academic conferences have a keynote
speaker, and he thought Guthrie
would be the ideal choice, in a practical and creative way. In addition
to engineering “The Wall,” Guthrie
has mixed and re-mastered almost
every release related to Pink Floyd.
He is recognized by his peers as the
pre-eminent surround sound specialist and his 2003 surround mix
of “The Dark Side of the Moon”
celebrated the 30th anniversary of
the classic album and won numerous prizes within the music industry. Guthrie has also worked with
artists as diverse as Toto, Queensryche, Bonnie Raitt, and Kate
Bush.
“Taking it from the practical
side, we thought James Guthrie and
his relationship with the band
(would be interesting), but he
would also bring his special and
unique angle to the conference, his
contribution to the music and art of
Pink Floyd,” Cohen says. “Getting
to him was a challenge, since he’s
not a very public person. But the
minute he heard what we were doing and he understood our approach
— with lectures, live concerts, and
whatnot — he jumped aboard. He’s
Bricks in the Wall: Above, producer
and engineer James Guthrie, who delivers the conference’s keynote address. At right, organizers Dave Molk,
top, and Gilad Cohen.
been great to work with, and has really helped move the conference
forward.”
“Guthrie will address the issue
of sound, his (creative efforts) from
the last 10 years, which go way beyond being an engineer,” Cohen
says. “Guthrie was a witness to so
much of their legendary work, and
he’ll talk about the process of
working with the band. We’ll be
flies on the wall, listening in on
what was it like, for example, to be
at the pub with the band, that kind
of thing.
“Plus, a lot of what makes Pink
Floyd (so outstanding) is their
sound, and in shaping that sound,
James Guthrie is no less than the
musicians in the band,” Cohen
says. “He’s almost like the fifth
Pink Floyd member.”
C
ohen, who moved from Israel to New York in 2006, earned
his master’s degree at the Mannes
College of Music. His article about
large-scale structure in Pink
Floyd’s music will be published
this summer by Resling Publishing
House in Tel-Aviv.
For the conference, he re-imagined the slow, bluesy, “Shine On
You Crazy Diamond,” from Pink
Floyd’s 1975 album, “Wish You
Were Here,” for flute, clarinet, piano, and strings. He will speak about
his ideas Sunday, April 13, with the
lecture “The Shadow of Yesterday’s Triumph: ‘Shine On You
Crazy Diamond’ and the Stage
Theory of Grief,” followed by a
performance of his acoustic arrangement of the song.
It is widely thought that “Shine
on You Crazy Diamond” is an elegy for Syd Barrett, one of Pink
Floyd’s original members, who experienced a drug-induced psychological breakdown and left the
band in 1968 to be
hospitalized. The
lyrics to “Shine
On” include such
lines as, “You
reached for the secret too soon/You
cried for the
moon/Shine on
you crazy diamond,” and “Come
on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!” Barrett, a mystery
to longtime Pink Floyd fans, remained in seclusion until his death
in 2006.
“’Wish You Were Here’ is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album,” Cohen says. “But I also love
their debut album, ‘The Piper At
the Gates of Dawn,’ which has a
very different sound from their later albums.”
“My favorites are probably ‘The
Dark Side of the Moon,’ then ‘Animals,’ then the older albums like
‘Meddle,’” Molk says. Growing up
in Connecticut, where his father
was an ophthalmologist and his
mother a special education and
substitute teacher, Molk became
immersed in Pink Floyd by dissecting and practicing guitarist David
Gilmour’s solos and riffs.
“I was struck by David Gilmour’s playing, learned all of his solos, and spent many hours in my
basement with my friends, jamming and playing,” Molk says.
Prior to his studies at Princeton
University, Molk studied composition at Berklee College of Music
under John Bavicchi and at Tufts
University with John McDonald.
His current research efforts are in
software coding and electronic
dance music (EDM). Molk will
speak and perform Sunday, April
13, with the lecture “Space and
Repetition in David Gilmour’s
Guitar Solos.” Afterward, accompanied by Cohen on piano and the
‘Our goal is that the conference will be accessible for anyone who
comes, to make the long weekend of a true celebration of the band,
its culture and impact. When we think about it, even spread over four
days, there’s not enough to do the band and its music justice.’
PUBLIQuartet, he will showcase
“A Medley Full of Hits” for electric
string quartet and piano.
“With this weekend-long celebration, for all kinds of people, we
hope that people will go through
their Pink Floyd albums again,”
Molk says. “We hope they’ll participate, and we hope to get them
thinking about what the band meant
to them.”
“My dream is to go out to one of
the pubs in Princeton, after an afternoon of Pink Floyd’s music, and
overhear fans and scholars argue
about things like, what the best
Pink Floyd song is, what the best
solo is, and whatnot,” Cohen says.
“We want to encourage people to
re-think and re-discover the band.”

Tesla’s iconoclasm and its challenge to the established auto industry have invited comparisons between Tesla and Apple. If Tesla is
the new Apple, Musk is its Steve
Jobs.
Musk has a history of shaking up
established industries. He was born
in South Africa and moved to Canada in 1988 at age 17. He studied at
Stanford, but dropped out after two
days to pursue his business career.
He became an American citizen in
2002. His first company, Zip2,
published an Internet “city guide”
for newspapers. Compaq bought
Zip2 for $307 million, and Musk
walked away with $22 million
from the sale.
Musk went on to develop the online payment company PayPal, and
was a co-founder of SpaceX, a private space exploration company
that has a contract to deliver supplies to the International Space Station using the spacecraft it has developed and built privately.
Musk has been the charismatic
face of the company since becoming CEO and chief product architect in 2008. In interviews, Musk
has said he wants to build Teslas for

under $30,000, and also to sell power
train components to other manufacturers.
A key part of this plan is the construction of a $5 billion battery factory that
he hopes will revolutionize the battery
industry and provide the cheap power
that Tesla will need to make consumerpriced Teslas.
Tesla owners have given the vehicles
rave reviews. Jain, a true road warrior,
has put his Tesla to the test. His company, IPCelerate, is headquartered in
Carnegie Center and has a data center at
1 Farr View Drive in Cranbury and another location in Dallas. Jain is often on the
road, visiting clients in Boston or Washington. He used to take the train for those trips,
but now he just hops in his Tesla, stopping at
a supercharger station on I-95 to refuel.
He also drives it around Princeton, where
he lives, and is often stopped by people who
want to know more about it. He says his wife
also loves to drive the Tesla, and though she
is not interested in cars, she often jumps in to
answer questions about it.
Cost is not a major concern for Jain, who
has two Lexuses at home, but he nevertheless
appreciates the savings over a standard car.
He drives the Tesla 3,000 miles a month,
spending nothing on gas, and Jain estimates
his total traveling bills are about $125, versus
$900 or more for a conventional car.
J
ain was born in New Delhi, where his
father worked for a government office of
telecommunications and engineering. He
graduated from Delhi University with a computer science degree before moving to France
to work for a small startup company as a consultant. Through it all, he was a fan of Formula 1 racing and had an infatuation with
American muscle cars.
“I always had posters of Mustangs and
Camaros on my walls even though we didn’t
have access to those kinds of cars,” he says.
When he moved to the United States in
1996, he bought a Pontiac Trans Am. As his
career advanced, so too did his taste in cars.
Thompson Management
in Control: The Tesla is operated by a 17-inch touchscreen.
He was the first employee of Netcom Systems, working as a programming analyst,
which grew to a staff of 220 by 1999.
He became an expert in Internet-connected phone systems and developed some of the
first enterprise software applications for
desktop smartphones while working for Selsius, a division of Cisco. Together with another Selsius employee, he founded IPCelerate in 2003 to develop enterprise software for
mobile devices.
Today IPCelerate has 49 employees, and
Jain’s taste in cars runs toward luxury rather
than speed and cheapness. “I don’t want to
call myself a car collector, but I know what a
fine machine and real technology looks like,”
he says. He got married in 2010 and bought a
Mercedes S-Class hybrid car for himself and
his new wife, Neenah Kay Jain. Today they
both drive Teslas. Neenah sometimes drives
hers to Manhattan, where she works as a
CFO at Radius, a venture capital firm.
Jain may not be a collector, but he does
consider himself a car enthusiast, and gives
high marks to the ride and performance of the
Model S versus luxury rivals. He gives even
higher marks to the service, which is provided directly from the manufacturer instead of
a dealership.

Tesla to New Jersey:
No Need for Dealers
O
by Elon Musk
n March 10, under pressure
from the New Jersey auto dealer
lobby to protect its monopoly, the
New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, composed of political appointees of the governor, ended
your right to purchase vehicles at a
manufacturer store within the state.
Governor Christie had promised
that this would be put to a vote of
the elected state legislature, which
is the appropriate way to change
the law. When it became apparent
to the auto dealer lobby that this approach would not succeed, they cut
a backroom deal with the governor
to circumvent the legislative process and pass a regulation that is
fundamentally contrary to the intent of the law.
The intent was simply to prevent
a fair and long-standing deal between an existing auto company
and its dealers from being broken,
not to prevent a new company that
has no franchisees from selling directly to consumers. In most states,
the laws are reasonable and clear.
In a handful of states, the laws were
written in an overzealous or ambiguous manner. When all auto
companies sold through franchises,
this didn’t really matter. However,
when Tesla came along as a new
company with no existing franchisees, the auto dealers, who possess
vastly more resources and influence than Tesla, nonetheless sought
to force us to sell through them.
The reason that we did not
choose to do this is that the auto
dealers have a fundamental con-
when their product breaks. Overcharging people for unneeded servicing (often not even fixing the
original problem) is rampant within the industry and happened to me
personally on several occasions
when I drove gasoline cars.
The rationale given for the regulation change that requires auto
companies to sell through dealers
is that it ensures “consumer protection.” If you believe this, Gov.
Christie has a bridge closure he
wants to sell you! Unless they are
referring to the mafia version of
“protection,” this is obviously untrue. As anyone who has been
through the conventional auto
dealer purchase process knows,
consumer protection is pretty much
the furthest thing from the typical
car dealer’s mind.
Consumers across the country
have also voiced their opinion on
the sales model they prefer. In
North Carolina, a Triangle Business Journal poll found that 97 percent of people polled said Tesla
should be allowed to sell cars directly. A poll by the Austin Business Journal showed that 86 percent of respondents were in favor
of direct sales, and in a Los Angeles
Times poll 99 percent of respondents came to the same conclusion.
These aren’t polls that we commissioned and there are many more
like them. We have not seen a sin-
gle poll that didn’t result in an overwhelming majority saying they
preferred the direct model to the
traditional dealer model. Democracy is supposed to reflect the will
of the people. When a politician
acts in a manner so radically opposed to the will of the people who
elected him, the only explanation is
that there are other factors at play.
Some reassurances are also in order. Until at least April 15, everything is business as usual for Tesla
in New Jersey. It should also be
noted that this regulation deals only
with sales, so our service centers
will not be affected. Our stores will
transition to being galleries, where
you can see the car and ask questions of our staff, but we will not be
able to discuss price or complete a
sale in the store. However, that can
still be done at our stores in Manhattan just over the river in Chelsea or
King of Prussia near Philadelphia.
Most importantly, even after
April 15, you will still be able to
order vehicles from New Jersey for
delivery in New Jersey on our
TeslaMotors.com website.
We are evaluating judicial remedies to correct the situation. If you
believe that your right to buy direct
at a Tesla store should be restored,
please contact your state senator
and assemblyman: www.njleg.

flict of interest between promoting
gasoline cars, which constitute virtually all of their revenue, and electric cars, which constitute virtually
none. Moreover, it is much harder
to sell a new technology car from a
new company when people are so
used to the old. Inevitably, they revert to selling what’s easy and it is
game over for the new company.
The evidence is clear: when has
an American startup auto company
ever succeeded by selling through
auto dealers? The last successful
American car company was Chrysler, which was founded almost a
century ago, and even they went
bankrupt a few years ago, along
with General Motors. Since the
founding of Chrysler, there have
been dozens of failures, Tucker and
DeLorean being simply the most
well-known. In recent years, electric car startups, such as Fisker,
Coda, and many others, attempted
to use auto dealers and all failed.
An even bigger conflict of interest with auto dealers is that they
make most of their profit from service, but electric cars require much
less service than gasoline cars.
There are no oil, spark plug or fuel
filter changes, no tune-ups and no
smog checks needed for an electric
car. Also, all Tesla Model S vehicles are capable of over-the-air updates to upgrade the software, just
like your phone or computer, so no
visit to the service center is required for that either.
Going a step further, I have
made it a principle within Tesla that
we should never attempt to make
servicing a profit center. It does not
seem right to me that companies try
to make a profit off customers

an Dodson, a Trenton resident and business consultant who
commutes to Philadelphia, says
he will never buy a gas-powered
car again. Dodson bought his
Model S in 2010 for $70,000, after more than two years on a waiting list.
Owning an electric car is a
long-time dream of Dodson’s.
Five years ago, he set out to buy a
used EV1, which was a prototype
electric car made by General Motors in the 1990s. “The main reason I wanted one was that it was
so simple. I figured, five years
ago, that an electric car would be
more practical and would have
better pickup and have less maintenance than a gas-powered car.”
One of the potential benefits of
an electric car is the lack of a
complex engine. As any car owner knows, the engine and transmission are liable to break down,
meaning costly repairs. Without
either of those components, an
electric car could, in theory, cost
much less to maintain. And, of
course, there is the benefit of never having to go to a gas station
again.

Dodson soon learned that GM
had destroyed most of the EV1
prototypes it had leased to consumers between 1996 and 1999.
(The demise of the EV1 is the
subject of the documentary,
“Who Killed the Electric Car?”)
“After I saw that movie, I invested in an early electric car
company, and I started reading a
lot about the Tesla Roadster,”
Dodson says. The roadster, Tesla’s first car, is a two-door sports
car. “I wasn’t going to get a roadster because I need a family car,”
Dodson says.
Dodson says the Tesla Model S
is a great family car because it has
a second trunk where the engine
would go on a normal passenger
car. He also likes the electronically controlled suspension,
which can be tuned from “land
yacht” to “sports car” depending
on his mood, using the car’s computer.
Dodson, who was a BMW enthusiast before buying his Tesla,
says the Model S is “by far the
smoothest ride I’ve ever owned.”

“One day I got a call from Tesla
saying they are replacing the 12-volt
batteries [used to power auxiliary
electronics and “wake the car up” to
drive] in my car, and they asked if I
could bring it in for service. I told
them I was traveling, and they said not
to worry about it. They actually
brought a loaner to my house on a flatbed truck, took my car to the showroom, replaced the battery, and
brought it back on a flatbed the next
day. That’s incredible. I have had many cars, but I haven’t seen that kind of
service. It’s a different experience and
a different breed of company.”
Jain does not exactly baby his Tesla. He relished the chance to test his
electric vehicle in the snow this winter
and drove it around over un-plowed
roads just to see how well it worked.
(It did well, Jain says.)
All this has convinced Jain that
electric cars are the way to go. He is
planning a road trip to his in-laws’
farm in Ohio and believes the trip will
be no problem, given the proliferation
of superchargers along the nation’s
highways. “It will be another hour to
supercharge it in Pennsylvania, but we
should be able to get to their place
without any issues,” he says.
Other high-tech features of the
Model S include its all-glass panoramic roof, which opens with a
touchscreen. It starts automatically
when you buckle your seatbelt, as
long as you have the key in your pocket. The car is controlled by a 17-inch
touch screen.
But the main selling point of the car
is not all of the bells and whistles, many of which are matched or exceeded
by other luxury cars, but its unique allelectric operation. Jain loves the car so
much, he recently bought his second
Tesla. “We are not going to buy a gaspowered car again,” he says.
Downsides. Electric cars are still
just a blip on the overall car market.
Chevy sold almost as many Cruze sedans during the month of August as
Tesla had sold of its Model S over its
entire history up to that point. There
are several reasons why buyers might
be hesitant to purchase an electric car.
In addition to cost there is the limited range of the vehicle. Gas-powered
cars can effectively go anywhere,
thanks to the ubiquity of gas stations.
Teslas can only go as far as their batteries will take them without stopping
to re-charge. This drawback is mitigated by the fact that you can charge
one up anywhere there is an electrical
outlet. But the system is not foolproof.
“I don’t care what anybody says:
you have a little bit of range anxiety,”
says Tesla owner and Trenton resident
Dan Dodson (see sidebar.) Dodson
says that early in March, he left his
Tesla plugged in at Newark Airport
while he took a business trip, thinking
it would charge up while he was gone.
But when he returned to his car, he
found the battery was almost empty
— for some reason, the cord had gone
dead during the week. “I barely had
enough power to get home,” he says.
“I don’t know what happened.”
Tesla is building a network of superchargers that mitigates this risk
somewhat, including one in Hamilton
Marketplace on Route 130 in Hamilton Square. However, using a supercharger takes significantly longer than
fueling up at a gas station. Tesla owners use websites, including www.
plugshare.com, to share locations
where they can juice up their cars. Locations include the Palmer Square garage on Chambers Street, wall outlets
at the Element Hotel in Ewing, and
outlets in the parking garage at the
Hamilton Station park-and-ride.
Politically charged. There is no
such thing as a Tesla dealership. In
fact, the entire company is a challenge
to the traditional business models of
auto-makers. Every other car manufacturer sells its products through independent dealerships, who operate
franchises with defined territories.

These franchise agreements are

Tesla sells its cars directly to
consumers. Instead of going to a

The future of this business model is currently being debated in the
New Jersey legislature, and in the
bureaucracy that governs the sale
of cars in the state. The first blow
was struck March 10, when the
Motor Vehicle Commission ruled
that Tesla was violating the law by
selling its cars online. The commission ordered the manufacturer to
stop direct sales in the state.
Tesla owners were not content to
sit on the sidelines.
“Within four hours of when we
found out the Motor Vehicle Department was going to have a public meeting to finalize the ban of
direct sales in New Jersey, it got
posted on a Tesla forum,” Jain says.
“Once the link got posted, about 75
of us showed up there. Here were
all these people who are high net
worth, who have responsible jobs,
showing up to this meeting. People
with their kids came out to that
meeting to support Tesla.”
Dodson and about 30 other Tesla

their case.
It’s hard to imagine people who
bought Fords or Toyotas holding
rallies and showing up at public
hearings to support the company
that made their cars.
Lee Berbs, who owns a tinting
and detailing shop in Hillsborough,
believes Tesla owners are a different breed. His shop, which offers
free high-voltage charging to anyone with an electric car, has serviced about 30 or 45 Teslas in the
last year and a half.
“They are all super-passionate
about the brand. More so than any
other car community,” he says.
There are several Tesla owners
clubs throughout the state.
Greg Gellas, who handles the
detailing end of the operation, says
the shop draws a crowd of people
who are very concerned about the
appearance of their cars. They pay
to have protective coatings put on
over the paint jobs and to repair minor dings and scratches.
Just as Steve Jobs made people
who never cared about phones into
Apple fanboys, Musk has made
daily drivers into car enthusiasts.
“One thing I have noticed is that
people who bought the car that
weren’t necessarily car people before. This car has made them into
car people, without a doubt,” Gellas says.
‘What my career has
been about is representing all sectors of
technology,’ says Maxine Ballen, who will retire from the NJTC this
year.
the Kellogg corporation to promote
adult education. She earned her
MBA at Wharton by studying at
night, before taking the job with
Rouse.
Not only did Ballen found and
grow the NJTC, she has led it
through some tough times. The
dotcom crash of the early 2000s hit
the state’s tech industry hard. In the
2002 interview, Ballen describes
venture capitalists being reluctant
to fund any new companies in the
industry. Then there was the decline of the pharmaceutical industry that caused an exodus of jobs
from the state.
But for Ballen, the tech industry
is stronger than any one sector.
“What my career has been about is
representing all sectors of technology, from life science to IT. We’ve
had a birds-eye view. All of our
eggs are not in one basket.”
Ballen says the current bright
spots in New Jersey’s tech sector
are in financial IT. “I’m very excited about fin-tech,” she says. “It’s
such an exciting opportunity for
our state right now. The whole fintech component is just exploding.”
NJTC will hold its third annual financial technology conference

hoever steps in for
Maxine Ballen as head of the state’s
largest tech trade group, the New
Jersey Technology Council, will
have awfully big shoes to fill. Ballen, who founded the group in
1996, is stepping aside after starting at zero and growing it to its current size of 900 members.
“It’s always difficult stepping in
after the founder of any organization,” Ballen says. “But that said,
it’s also an exciting opportunity for
the council.”
Ballen became interested in
technology at a time when it was a
male-dominated field. In a 2002 interview, Ballen told U.S. 1 she had
thought technology was a “boy
thing” until the 1980s, when developer Bill Rouse recruited her to
head the Business Development
and Training Center in Malvern,
Pennsylvania. She became intrigued by the high-tech industry,
and learned a lot about it.
To this day, Ballen says, 90 percent of companies in the NJTC are
led by men. She laments a seeming
lack of female interest in pursuing
careers in fields like software engineering and programming, despite
programs encouraging women to
follow those pursuits. However,
she believes the excessive amounts
of Y-chromosomes in the tech industry never hindered her career.
“I think being a woman has been
to my advantage,” she says.
The state’s tech industry faces
challenges beyond its gender imbalance. Ballen says the biggest
concern is competition from other
states. “New Jersey faces competition from everybody,” she says.
“New York, Pennsylvania, Utah,
Texas, North Carolina, Boston.
There is a lot of competition for luring our tech companies away from
New Jersey. One needs to be very
cognizant of what the opportunities
are around the country and how we
can put together a better mousetrap
to keep our companies here.”
Ballen grew up in Lebanon,
Pennsylvania, in the 1960s. Her father was an eye doctor and her
U.S. 1
Tuesday, June 3, in Jersey City.
To Ballen, the best part about
working for NJTC has been that
she was able to make a difference
to individual business people. She
says that she has been contacted by
many business owners over the
years who told her that connections
they made at the trade group’s
events have helped them launch
their businesses.
She is also proud of the $80 million venture fund that has invested
in companies in the state as well as
a few in Pennsylvania and New
York. “I think we can really take
credit for the fact that New Jersey
has remained a premier location for
tech companies. I think we’re one
of the few organizations that’s been
able to say, ‘Hey, we made that
happen.’”
Ballen will remain head of
NJTC until midyear, when the
group plans to name a successor.
She isn’t retiring. She says she
hopes to take the skills she has
learned and use them to help individual companies by serving on
corporate boards. “I would like to
work with a few companies, instead of with tens of thousands of
companies,” she says.

Survival Guide
Millennials have witnessed their
Baby Boomer parents give themselves completely to a company
only to get downsized or, at most,
get a sheet cake and a five-minute
adios from the boss when they retire. “Millennials are what I call the
first post-consumer generation,”
Lee says. “They haven’t bought
into the economic commitments
older people have.”
These economic commitments
are things like houses and new cars
and families, which Gen-Xers
[those born from the early 1960s to
early 1980s] bought into in an effort to be self-contained and selfsustaining. The Generation X rebellion against the system became
its own kind of system requiring a
house from which to operate a business and raise a family, Lee says.
Eschewing these kinds of commitments has given Millennials
less to lose, and, subsequently, far
greater negotiating power in what
they want from jobs. Millennials’
expectations, Lee says, are to live
for now. They prize individuality,
flexibility, and mobility. All they
need, he says, can typically fit into
a backpack.
But while this romantic, backpacking-across-Europe-style life
choice is fun for now, Lee worries
how it will play out. At some point,
picking up and going wherever you
want turns into yet-another relocation/re-establishing of your whole
life. The Millennials’ approach,
Lee says, “can work well when
you’re in your 20s and you live at
home with mom and dad, but what
happens when you want to start a
family? I’m curious if they’ll buy
into it.”
Lateral moves. Even if many
Millennials are living on their own
and paying their own way, they
generally don’t like to put down
roots. They also tend to not specialize, Lee says. Millennials, after all,
are extremely comfortable with
technology and generally live their
lives connected to their phones.
This allows them to do a great many things in a great many places,
but Lee worries that Millennials
are living a lifestyle of lateral
moves. There’s no upward mobility, he says, there is simply a lot of
getting by in the endless quest for
the now.
A side effect to this lack of commitment to anyone beyond themselves is that many companies have
greatly pulled back on training. The
thinking, Lee says, is why bother
training someone who will only be
around for a year or two? You’re
only making a better worker for
your competition. Companies, Lee
says, need to reinvest in training
and offer Millennials a more clear
career path up front if they want to
maintain these workers.
Hiring them, of course, is not a
real issue. There are plenty of Millennials to fill jobs, it’s just hard to
keep them. Lee strongly recommends that companies rebuild their
focus on social capital. A trend he
sees in startups is that the first question asked of founders these days is
often “What’s your exit strategy?”
How, in other words, will you get
in, get rich, and get out?
This focus on economic capital
in the short term — i.e., not training
the competition’s latest acquisition
— is shortsighted, Lee says.
“Building social capital increases
economic capital in the long term.”
And just as he wants to see Millennials sacrifice a bit now and make
some commitments that will help
stabilize their futures, he wants
companies to realize that some
work on the social capital front
now will pay hefty dividends later.
“I have a degree.” One other
thing for companies to keep in
mind about Millennials, Lee says,
is the generation’s attachment to
personal credentials — particularly
the academic kind. It’s getting
more common, he says, to see people hired by people who don’t have
as high-level a college degree. It’s
also common for Millennials to accumulate higher degrees and personal achievements as measures of
their capabilities.
But this lack of real-world
knowledge, replaced by heavy academic knowledge, means that Millennials have a lot of brains and
education but not much wisdom.
They’ve simply not been out there
long enough. This, Lee says, could
explain why Millennials are more
comfortable at smaller companies
and startups. “There’s no history
there,” he says.
And, therefore, no ties to an establishment that Millennials neither respect nor resent.

Ewing’s State?
Good for Business
Ewing Township has become
a hot spot in Central Jersey for eco-
nomic growth and development. In
the past 12 months, the township
approved a redevelopment plan for
residential, retail, and office space
at the site of the former General
Motors plant on Parkway Avenue,
saw a successful new airline open at
the Trenton-Mercer Airport, welcomed Church & Dwight to its new
250,000-square-foot world headquarters in the Princeton South Corporate Center, and initiated plans
for a campus town development
near the College of New Jersey.
The man leading the township
through this period of growth is
Mayor Bert Steinmann. Steinmann was born in the Netherlands,
but grew up in Ewing. A retired
union member and pension manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Steinmann was a long-time councilman
before being elected mayor in
2010. The mayor has made redevelopment and economic growth a
priority of his administration.
Steinmann will deliver his annual “State of the Township” address to the MIDJersey Chamber of
cially those that rely heavily on air
traffic.”
The new Capital Health hospital
just across I-95 in Hopewell Township is another catalyst. “There are
two proposed office complexes
just for that on Scotch Road where
the Element and the Courtyard by
Marriott are. They’re putting up
two 286,000-square-foot condo
buildings for doctors’ offices.”
Ewing’s recent inclusion in the
list of towns that make up “Einstein’s Alley” did not surprise
Steinmann. “Just to be even thought
about in that vein is good, and
rightly so. We have testing labs
here, we have FMC, Church &
Dwight, Computer Associates. It
highlights all of the opportunities
that Ewing Township presents to
people. In fact,” he says with a
laugh, “we even have a brewing
company here [River Horse]. That
requires chemistry, right?”

As Steinmann noted in a recent
interview with the Ewing Observer
(one of U.S. 1’s sister publications), his approach is to be business friendly. “If you come to us
with a viable plan that we believe
strongly in and works for the town,
we will absolutely work for you,
and we’ll move any mountain that
we possibly have to move, including talking to state officials. I don’t
care how long it takes me.”
“I think my relationships with
those individuals in those different
[state] departments are really critical and they really work well. I
think they share the same vision,
not only for Ewing Township, but
for the whole area.”
Steinmann believes that the success of Frontier Airlines at the airport is “going to be a home run for
Ewing Township, because businesses are looking to relocate espe-

O
ne of the best parts of
my job is being able to find a little
space in the newspaper now and
then and fill it up with some writing
that I think someone else may (or
may not) enjoy. Thirty years ago I
was a freelance writer, tired of having editors respond to my story
suggestions with a perfunctory
“thanks but no thanks — have
something else in mind” and tired
of competing with two or three or
sometimes more other hungry freelance writers for one of the stories
the editor actually did want (usually ASAP).
So when the chance came to
start my own publication I jumped
at it — I figured I would finally
have an outlet for my own writing
(and I wouldn’t have to argue with
the editor), though I wasn’t sure I
would ever be able to pay for anyone else’s work.
Today that’s still a perk of the
job. But I have discovered another
one that’s even better: Hearing
from people who have read something in the paper and want to comment on it.
The story of the “inconvenient
child” on March 26 touched a nerve
with readers (see page 2 of this issue for more letters on the subject),
and even prompted a column in the
April 4 edition of the Princeton
Packet. Dennis Scheil, a graduate
of Princeton High School who also
has a master’s degree from Princeton University, wrote an account of
his struggles getting his elementary school son settled in the proper
program — all eerily similar to Michael Graziano’s account in U.S. 1.
I also received a few additional,
off-the-record comments from
friends. A former neighbor wrote
“publishing ‘An Inconvenient
Child’ was a departure, wasn’t it,
from the usual cheery and non-po-

had the perfect “further” life to pursue. On second thought I think he
should combine the music with the

If the heart beats a little more
quickly at a personal piece of Email, it races at the sight of a piece
of snail mail. One came in the other
day from Salford, England. It took
me a while to figure out what it was
in reference to:
Dear Sir,
A friend of mine in New Jersey
with whom I have corresponded
for some years enclosed a cutting
in his last letter to which, as an
atheist, I would like to respond.
I think the objection to the cross
being put on the beam is wrong. It
is meaningful to Christians in the
community and it would not offend
my belief. As Voltaire put it, “I do
not believe in what you say but I
defend to the death your right to
say it.”
[At this point I figured the letter
out. It was a response to my column
of September 11, 2013, prompted
by the controversy over the presence of a cross burned into an Ibeam intended to be part of a Princeton 9/11 memorial and then extended to cover a few other matters
of religion and faith.]
I do like the answer you would
give to God should your belief
prove to be wrong. “Well, I’ll be
damned.” That’s good! Would you
mind if I make use of it myself
should the need arise?
Yours sincerely,
Jim Gilliland
To which I can only respond:
Jim, as a faithful reader, you are entitled to use it any way you can. But
just don’t count on faithful readers
getting the same consideration as
other kinds of faithful. Good luck
and thanks for reading.
