Ason graduated from the Illinois Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s in mathematics and worked at AT&T for 25 years. He left in 1996 to pursue investing. His investment company is now based in Newark. What exactly do you do? “One of the most important things is to explicitly state what you do,” Ason says. “About 40 percent of the summaries I receive do not have that. They have a list of features or benefits or what it enables customers to do.” For example, he says, he recently received a proposal from a company that was making “a program that enables great composers to write music.” For Ason, that was much too vague of a description. “It could be a consultancy, a music notation program, a music generating program, or it could be a pencil,” he says. “All of those things could enable a great composer to write music. I want to know if it is a pencil, or if it’s a fast program that generates music, or something else.” Buzzkill: There are certain buzzwords that will doom your proposal before Ason reads any further. Any mention of “enable,” “promote,” and “encourage” will cause Ason to send a proposal to oblivion. “Everything that says, If the market doesn’t exist, how do you know how big it’s going to be? What I really want to see is why you think the market is big. `This is what the customer does,’ are all no-nos,” he says. “These are all kisses of death. Those will automatically kick you out. I’m fussy about what gets through the filter, and I uses filters to pick people off.” Plans have their place: Ason doesn’t hate business plans; he just believes they have no place in a venture pitch. He says it’s good to develop a business plan once a company becomes more mature, once it defines its market and knows its margins. Other kinds of venture capitalists — those that invest in growth-stage companies, such as Edison Partners (U.S. 1, August 27) — definitely want to see one. Go north, young company: Ason says he doesn’t recommend a high-tech startup to locate its office in the U.S. 1 corridor. “What I recommend to a lot of companies is to go to New York,” Ason says. “You need to understand what else is happening in your area. If you are in Princeton or Freehold, you’re probably a little bit out of date.” Ason is particularly enamored of the cluster of tech startups on the E-train line south of 42nd Street. The advantage of being close to other tech companies, he says, is the sharing of ideas. You can also network with peers to find good professional services. “If you want to find a good accountant, or find people, just talk to the company next to you. You get a free sharing of advice and information. The startup community is a very sharing type of environment. For example, Silicon Valley is only one square mile. It’s very concentrated.” New Jersey has been left behind somewhat when it comes to technology startup companies. “Everything in the Fort Lee area gets sucked into New York,” Ason says. “And everything around Philly Critical Angel: John Ason, who has funded startups for 17 years, speaks Wednesday, September 17, at the Princeton Marriott. gets sucked into Philly. Princeton is ambivalent to startups because there is no center of excellence that companies can rally around. There isn’t a center where you can have large numbers of startups gather to form a critical mass.” Ason says New Jersey could do several things to make itself more of a haven for tech companies. He says Newark, where there are already several shared workspaces and an incubator, would be a good place to start because the commute to New York is trivial. Princeton could rise to the top by developing better ties between the university and the business community. He noted the engineering departments of the school are keen on becoming involved with startups, but the rest of the school is not. Ason’s speech at the Gathering of Angels will focus on the current angel investing ecosystem, which he says is rapidly changing because of two major developments: Firstly, the Angel List, online at angel. co. The site has about 100,000 companies, and 30,000 to 40,000 investors. “That’s the biggest online resource, and the biggest social network for the startup community,” Ason says. The second is the rise of startup culture overseas. Ason has been to Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania over the past few years. Companies in all these places are competing against American companies for investment dollars. “They’re having some difficulty, but they are competing,” Ason says. The number one piece of advice Ason offers is this: “Get out there and do a startup,” he says. “If you fail, try again. There are a lot of great ideas, whether you get angel funding or VC funding,or just friends and family. The opportunities are wide open.” — Diccon Hyatt thursday, September 18 Every Company Is a Tech Company J ames Barrood, the new president and CEO of the New Jersey Technology Council, is taking leadership of the group at a time of rapid evolution for the state’s tech industry. Even the idea of a “tech company” is changing, as Barrood believes every company needs to be high tech to survive. “If a business is not using tech effectively, from a one-man shop to a 100,000-person enterprise, then they will be disrupted by technology. Not only will they not be competitive, but they will decline if they are not on some level a tech company.” SePteMBer 17, 2014 tech Is King: James Barrood is the new head of the NJ Technology Council, which will hold a technology tour in NYC Thursday, September 18. Barrood was selected from a pool of 66 applicants to succeed the retiring Maxine Ballen, who founded the NJTC 18 years ago. He took office in August. One of Barrood’s beliefs about New Jersey’s tech industry is the importance of its ties to New York. On Thursday, September 18, the NJTC will hold a technology tour and networking trip to the NYC2 Data Center operated by Telx at 111 Eighth Avenue in New York. The tour will show the telecommunications center, which is one of the busiest switching stations in the world for hundreds of domestic and international telecom carriers and Internet backbones. The event is free to members, $20 to nonmembers. For more information, visit www.njtc.org. “There needs to be more of a spirit of working together in the New Jersey tech industry,” he says. “We need to leverage the great New York City magnetism and their great success to really build out the ecosystem of Jersey City, Hoboken, and Newark, to be successful. In addition, we can build out of the terrific hubs of New Brunswick and Princeton, and even Rowan in South Jersey.” Barrood has worked with the NJTC for 17 years. During that time, he was also the head of Fairleigh Dickinson’s Rothman Institute of Entrepreneurship. The institute was involved with connecting and promoting tech companies in the region, so it often worked in parallel with the NJTC. Barrood says he admired what Ballen accomplished in building the NJTC. “It extends a lot of the things I was doing at the entrepreneurship center: the success of entrepreneurs, growth companies, and large tech companies in the state and region not only helps the economy, but the community, and it makes New Jersey just a greater place to live,” he says. Barrood grew up in Somerset and studied at Rutgers. Out of college, he worked for the business his father ran, Barrood Real Estate. “Coming from an entrepreneurial family business really drills into you the principles of hard work and taking care of customers,” he says. He later got his MBA at Texas A&M. During that time, he worked for Mercedes and GM in Europe, and returned to take a corporate marketing job. Shortly thereafter, he saw the job opening at Fairleigh Dickinson to direct the entrepreneurship center and took it, expecting to stay there for two years. “I ended up staying there for 17 because it was such a great and fulfilling job,” he says. Barrood is familiar with the challenges facing the tech industry in New Jersey. “The challenge is that it’s very fragmented,” he says. “There is no one area where an ecosystem could develop. There are several hubs of activity. When you’re working in a small geographic area, it’s easier to collaborate. We have the challenge of geographic fragmentation. There are a plethora of great companies and entrepreneurs, and we need to collaborate more effectively and help each other. One of my goals is to really be a unifier for the community.” Despite the challenges, New Jersey is home to a thriving tech community, Barrood says. Medtech companies are taking off. Endeavors in the areas of drones, Internet-connected devices (“The Internet of Things”), wearable tech, and 3D printing are showing promise, he says. Though Barrood’s education is in business rather than tech, he has been engaged in digital marketing, e-business, and online courses for the better part of two decades. And in the world of entrepreneurship, he says, there is no difference between a startup and a tech startup. “Most new businesses have been related to technology anyway,” he says. “Going forward, we have to think of all new businesses as tech businesses.” — Diccon Hyatt No-Frills Networking W ant networking without the speeches or business advice?

But New Jersey is not far from the root cause of this disaster. The United States is second behind China in demand for these “blood” items, acquired through horrific cruelty and leading to the extinction of these magnificent animals. New York City is America’s biggest market for ivory and rhino horn, and New Jersey’s ports are an entry hub. As long as the market exists, the killing will continue. Fortunately, New Jersey’s role in the ivory trade may soon be over. This state we’re in just became the first in the nation to ban both the import and in-state sale of rhino horn and ivory from elephants, walruses, whales and several other animals. In June, the state Legislature passed a bill to prohibit ivory and rhino horn trade. Governor Christie signed it into law on August 5. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a similar ban a few days later. “We’re really excited — from an environmental standpoint, from a conservation standpoint, from a humanitarian standpoint and from a national security standpoint,” said Assemblyman Raj Mukherji, the bill’s prime sponsor in the Assembly. “Ivory trafficking is at the highest point in history, and elephants are facing extinction because of it.” According to animal conservation groups, an estimated 35,000 elephants in Africa were slaughtered for their tusks in 2012, despite laws meant to protect them. Satao was a recent victim. He was one of Kenya’s best-known elephants, who suffered a painful death after being felled by a poacher’s poison arrow in Tsavo National Park in May. The killing of this giant male in a protected park sparked an international outcry. “The fight to protect Satao’s relatives and others of his kind must happen on the ground in the range nations,” wrote Wayne Pacelle, CEO of the Humane Society of the U.S. “But it also must happen, in a different way, in the wealthy consumer nations where elephant ivory is carved and turned into high-value products.” That’s where New Jersey comes in. Much black market ivory has found its way into the U.S. because of loopholes in the law — one of which was the lack of state legislation banning import and in-state sales. The new law closes loopholes and makes federal enforcement easier, said Mukherji. Also shut down are loopholes allowing biggame hunters to bring back large quantities of “culled” elephant heads, including ivory. New Jersey now prohibits people from buying, selling, importing and possessing ivory and rhino horns with the intent to sell. The only things that are grandfathered, Mukherji said, are owning, bequeathing and inheriting existing ivory items. Mukherji said that not only will New Jersey’s new law help protect elephants and rhinos, but it will put a damper on terrorist groups. “A lot of these poaching profits go to fund terrorist activities,” he said. New Jersey has notched many conservation-related “firsts,” and New Jerseyans should be proud that we’re leading the nation in saving some of the world’s most endangered animals. Let’s hope more states follow and the killing ends. For more information, visit the New Jersey Conservation Foundation at www.njconservation.org S by richard D.

She has just wrapped up an early tour of the new Tulpehaking Nature Center on Westcott Avenue in Hamilton Township, officially opening on Saturday, October 11. Stopping short, the group turns and leans forward watching Rypkema, the center’s manager, as she opens a side door leading to a wooded landscape, bends down, and delicately scoops up a palm-sized, white winged creature none of them had seen before. “It’s a Luna moth,” Rypkema says. It is an unusual find, she says. Known for its beauty, the Luna moth lives for just one week and flies only at night. So it is fair to assume that it landed and died on the doorstep where Rypkema discovered it. Until now, she says, she has seen it only in photographs. For Rypkema, this is what is exciting about nature. You never know what you might discover. Discovering the mysteries of nature is also what the Tulpehaking Nature Center is all about — and why Rypkema is excited about being a part of it. “We want this to be a place for families and communities to gather and discover things for themselves and be amazed with the Abbott Marshlands,” she says about the center located at the entrance to Roebling Park in Hamilton. This wetlands area is a regional wonder — the home for several species of plants and close to 400 species of birds, mammals, fish, butterflies, and amphibians, including at least six species of turtles. In fact, Rypkema says, the name “Tulpehaking” is a Lenape Indian term meaning, “Land of the Turtle.” Area visitors will have several opportunities to explore the marshlands with guided tours, see live marsh animals, and explore interactive exhibits and more when the center opens in October. But one doesn’t have to wait until next month to begin exploring. by Lynn Robbins This weekend marks the beginning of a three-month series of programs dedicated to the marsh. On Saturday, September 20, the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie in Cadwalader Park hosts “The Abbott Marshlands — More than Meets the Eye,” an exhibit of art, artifacts, and nature displays. The opening reception begins at 6 p.m., and winners of the “Voices for the Marsh” photo contest will be awarded at 6:30 p.m. On Sunday, September 21, Rypkema leads visitors on a guided marsh tour from 2 to 4 p.m. Several other events lead up to the cen- The Abbott Marshlands are a regional wonder — the home for several species of plants and close to 400 species of birds, mammals, fish, butterflies, and amphibians, including at least six species of turtles. ter’s opening, including a tour of the 1708 Watson House on Saturday, September 27; World Rivers Day walk and lecture on Sunday, September 28; and a canoe/kayak trip on Sunday, October 5. When the nature center opens on Saturday, October 11, with a “Family Fun Day,” visitors can take part in both indoor and outdoor activities. They can walk through the garden featuring marsh plants, visit the gazebo for orientation, and view live amphibian and reptile displays that will include, of course, turtles. Inside the center families can explore interactive displays in two exhibit rooms that include microscope explorations such as the baby dragonfly pool, a container of marsh water where viewers will find creatures invisible to the naked eye. One can also visit the auditorium, a newly built 2,000-square-foot addition to the facility with seating capacity for 50 guests and large windows for bird watching. Rypkema credits the nature center’s existence to the combined efforts of several individuals, groups, and county executive Brian Hughes. “Partnership was key to making the nature center happen,” Hughes says. Operated by the Mercer County Park Commission, the new center was funded by a $500,000 Green Acres grant awarded to the D&R Greenway Land Trust and matched by the Mercer County Open Space Preservation Trust Fund. Several other area groups have worked to make the center a reality, Hughes says, especially Friends of the Abbott Marshlands, Rider University, several environmental groups, and private citizens as well as state and local government. Though the center’s property — a 1963 ranch house and lot on the fringe of a development — became the property of Mercer County in 2005, groups interested in the marsh had been thinking about creating a nature center since 1999, according to Hughes. When planners discovered the Wescott Avenue home for sale, they were excited because it was so close to the marshlands. Creating a center from an existing facility would also minimize the need for new construction and the resulting challenges of building on ecologically fragile wetlands. Hughes says that building the addition for the auditorium was a complex process because work had to be done under the guidelines of the DEP to ensure there was no soil contamination. More importantly an archeological survey needed to be done because the site was part of the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark and needed to address issues related to fact that the house — and the entire neighborhood — had been built on what was once the site of a major Native American population center and the famous Abbott Farm archeological dig that began in the late 1800s and continued to mid-20th century (U.S. 1, November 14, 2012). The Trenton-based Hunter Research conducted the study, retrieved artifacts, made recommendations regarding construction that would not damage or disrespect other artifacts, and participated in preparing a display of the discovered materials. “I see this place as a real learning center,” Hughes says, calling it one of Mercer County’s jewels. Its location, being close to a major archeological site yielding artifacts from 13,000 years ago, and being close to the Watson House built in 1708, is also within walking distance of Trenton, a city that includes buildings from the American Revolution. “The nature center is surrounded with all this history, and it sits on a 3,000-acre marsh that provides food, water, and shelter for several species of plants and wildlife, less than three miles from a modern urban center,” says Hughes. The interplay between natural and urban environments is a theme that has run *New This Fall NOW OFFERING BEER, WINE AND COCKTAILS.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2014 throughout Rypkema’s career and continues with her vision for the nature center. “Living in a city environment, there’s so much calling to our attention. But the natural environment is still there. Even if you are in the middle of a city, there are so many things going on around you. That’s one thing I want to share [with visitors],” says Rypkema. Rypkema comes to the nature center with lofty visions and down-to-earth experience. As the founder of “Frog in my Pocket Productions” she has directed and hosted a video series titled “Nature in a New York Minute.” The videos, aptly lasting about one minute, demonstrate that nature is all around us, even in the concrete jungle. She traces her passion for nature back to her childhood growing up in Pleasant, Iowa, and later Dallas, Texas. A current resident of Lawrence Township, she recalls that in Iowa, nature was her playground, hiking in the summer, sledding in the winter, and exploring year-round. From an upstairs window in her family’s home, she could look onto a tree and into a robin’s nest and see the powderblue eggs. “The sun would shine from behind the nest and light up the birds. It was so beautiful,” she says. Her father, an electrical engineer, and her mother, a registered nurse, encouraged her to explore nature and pursue what made her happy. After high school she continued her education in Texas, earning a bachelor of science degree from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene and a master’s in biology from Texas Christian University in Dallas/ Fort Worth. In the course of her career she has been a naturalist and program coordinator at the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas; she founded the aforementioned “Frog in My Pocket Productions” and has been an active volunteer with the New York City Audubon Society and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. A s the center’s manager and naturalist Rypkema will be inviting guest speakers to host educational events open to the public, and she is planning programs for Trenton, Hamilton, and nearby school districts. She is also in the process of finding rotating and permanent exhibits and planning events for the next several months.

At press time, she is still finetuning the agenda, which will include the activities previously mentioned plus raffle prizes and give-aways, including a wine tasting package, a pontoon boat tour around Spring Lake, and kids’ outdoor exploration kits. There will be a marsh photography exhibit and nature crafts. And there will be something else, a display featuring a winged creature considered by ancient lore to be a symbol of transformation, the Luna moth she found at the nature center this summer. And while Rypkema is excited about sharing what she has discovered, she sees the nature center as a place for something more vital, an entry point for visitors to make their own discoveries.

LaRocca’s expertise lies in a range of ailments, including trauma, strains and sprains, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, radiculopathy/sciatica, tumor, infection, inflammatory disorders, and scoliosis. The important thing to remember is that each patient is different and each patient requires individual attention, compassion, and care. “We give care that will transform people’s lives,” LaRocca says. And that’s not just in the treatment procedures, it’s at every stage, from the first consultation to the aftercare. In fact, a guiding principle for New Jersey Neck & Back is “supporting your journey until your back supports you.” LaRocca’s journey to topnotch spinal care began when he was a boy, fascinated by engineering and mechanics — how things move and how to make them move better. It was in college when he realized his love of engineering and mechanics translated into biomechanics and medicine. “The spine,” he says, “was especially intriguing.” It’s also especially challenging. “The back is sometimes tough to treat,” LaRocca says.

The hijinks start when a well-todo husband — in order to be free from his marriage and not lose money in a divorce — makes a New Year’s resolution to kill his wife. The informed spouse, obviously, has other thoughts, and the play follows the couple’s game of cat-and-mouse and the ensuing complications — dead friends, a butler with a secret, a detective who thinks he’s the fictional detective Sam Spade, and more. It is a play that combines physical humor and word play to create a world where everybody — with the exception of the detective — has a theory about what’s happening, and all of them — surprise — turn out to be wrong. While the dialogue may not be Shakespeare, or even Noel Cow- by Barbara Westergaard ard, the level of the acting by a cast of OBT veterans is high enough to keep the audience’s attention. The performers are Sean Magnacca (the detective), who made his OBT debut in last summer’s production of “Curtains” and was more recently seen in “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”; Kyla Mostello Donnelly (wife), OBT’s “Merchant of Venice” and “Moon over the Brewery”; John Helmke (the husband), who made his OBT debut as Bassanio in the “Merchant of Venice”; Ally Hern (the daughter), a musical theater major at Rider University who made her OBT debut in “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”; Steve Decker (the butler), seen as Sherlock Holmes in OBT’s “The Golden Spy” and “A World at War”; and Robert Risch, a Rider University senior seen “I Love You Because,” “The Merchant of Venice,” and “Peg O’ My Heart.” Off-Broadstreet producer Bob Thick also directs the show, keeping a clear eye on the fun while maintaining the playwright’s Murderous: Sean Magnacca, left, and Steve Decker. sleight-of-hand. Thick has also designed the set, a handsome study in a mansion. Ann Raymond designed the costumes and appears to have caught the production’s mood and seems to have had some fun.

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. “When they leave, their intention is to throw the bra drawer out.” Visit Lace Silhouettes Lingerie at 51 Palmer Square, Princeton, NJ; Peddler's Village-Shop #30, Lahaska, PA; 429 Washington Street Mall, Cape May, NJ. 609688-8823.

hearing veteran Scottish folk singer Archie Fisher when he performs Friday, September 19, at Christ Congregation Church in Princeton. Fisher opens the 2014-’15 season of the Princeton Folk Music Society, a group that celebrates its 50th year this season, making the organization one of the oldest of its kind in the nation. Fisher is a master guitarist, singer-songwriter, storyteller, and entertainer who lives in southern Scotland, where he also raises and rides horses. Recognized for his decadeslong contributions to the furtherance of Scottish folk music, Fisher was inducted into the Scots Traditional Music Hall of Fame and in 2006 was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire), a prestigious honor nominated by his peers and bestowed by Queen Elizabeth. That honor would stay with Fisher even if Scotland were to vote in favor of independence from Britain in its September 18 referendum. Princeton Folk Music Society program coordinator Justin Kodner says the choice of Archie Fisher made good sense for several reasons. “For the first concert of the season, we try to have a performer who will give the audience a good taste of what they can expect to see and hear at our monthly concerts. That’s not easy because, in our concert series, we try to present a wide variety of what the folk community has to offer, but Archie Fisher is an excellent choice for our purpose. “He is a fine musician (guitar), a wonderful singer with a marvelous repertoire of traditional (mostly Scottish) songs, and has himself written several songs that are sung and have been recorded by many prominent performers. Archie’s songs have become a significant part of the folk tradition. His appearance here is a great honor for us.” Asked about his roots via Email, Fisher says that had a youthful musical advantage. “Growing up in Glasgow, my father was a police inspector and had a few instruments around the house. He himself as a tenor sang light opera and what is known in Scotland as ‘leaning on the piano’ — songs as well as vaudeville ditties that he picked by Richard Skelly up while taking some time out from his patrols at the theater,” Fisher says. “My first awareness of traditional music came from a few of the songs (my father) knew that were definitely from the Scottish tradition, like his version of ‘She’s awa wi the Beggar Man.’ My mother came from Hebridean stock and sang in Gaelic now and then. It was very melodic stuff, but we didn’t understand a word. My first instrument was probably one of my father’s ukuleles or his banjo or mandolin — which became mute as the strings were eventually broken.” Fisher says that in his early years he “was blessed with six sisters, all very musical, in a vocal way, and they sang and harmonized together with songs they had learned at school” or sung at home by his homemaker mother and sister Ray, who, he says, “went on to become a force of nature in the Scottish folk revival.” ‘In our concert series, we try to present a wide variety of what the folk community has to offer,’ says Justin Kodner. ‘Archie Fisher is an excellent choice for our purpose.’ About his decision to be a folk singer, not always the best of career moves, Fisher says, “There was no big eureka moment about wanting to be a performer. My first love was the guitar, and I would at that time have been happy to just accompany Ray or anyone else who needed backing and harmony.” He says his first professional gig was in Edinburgh in the 1960s; it paid five British pounds ($14 at the time). “There was no big break in my musical life, just what I hopefully think was a steady progression,” he notes. In addition to being influenced by his father and sisters Ray and Cilla, Fisher says that he got inspired by the skiffle craze of the late 1950s. Skiffle — an American slang term for improvising — has its roots in a popular AfricanAmerican music tradition that combines folk, jazz, and blues. It became a popular movement in England after World War II and included musicians such as British Lonnie Donegan (the “king of skiffle” who created the 1959 novelty song “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On the Bedpost Overnight?” and the American expatriate Johnny Duncan (whose hit song was the “Last Train to San Fernando”), and paved the way for the British rock music invasion of the early 1960s. Fisher’s music and politics were further shaped when he discovered the 1955 album “The Weavers at Carnegie Hall” by the influential American folk music group that featured performers Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman, and Pete Seeger. He then began to perform in earnest. “During the late 1950s and early 1960s I was part of a group of folk singers known as the Glasgow Boys; the core of which were Josh MacRae, Ewan McVicar, and Hamish Imlach. We had a kind of symbiotic development amongst us, sharing guitar licks and songs which initially were in the Americana vein because we loved the instrumental associations. Later on I learned five-string banjo licks from Americans like Ralph Rinzler,” the Passaic-born Appalachian banjo/ guitarist and important 20th century folklorist. Fisher says that his strongest musical relationship in North America is with the Canadian songwriter and musician Garnet Rogers. “We first toured together in the early 1980s and recently shared the main stage at the Philadelphia Folk Festival.” Fisher revealed his Glasgow sense of humor when asked about who offered the best advice about the business of being a folk singer. “The only business advice I ever got about being a musician was when the bank sent me a notice that I was overdrawn,” he says. However he is willing to tell young folk musicians today that he sees the overall quality of folk musicians, folk music presenters, and folk festivals as improving. “Mostly the young people of today are going their own way.

Fisher’s has left a legacy of musical recordings, starting with “Fisher Family: Traditional and New Songs from Scotland,” released in 1965, and followed a series of solo recordings, starting with his debut, “Archie Fisher” (in 1968) and continuing every several years to his most recent, for the Minneapolis-based Red House Records, “Windward Away” (2008). He also has a number of recordings with already mentioned Rogers, Scottish vocalist Barbara Dickson, and the Glasgow band Frightened Rabbit. After Red House released “Sunsets I’ve Galloped Into” in 1996, Fisher toured throughout North America, frequently performing with guitarists John Renbourn (from Glasgow) and Bert Jansch (London), pioneers of the 1960s folk and blues renaissance. Fisher will be recording another album for Red House Records while he is states-side here for the next few weeks. He admits he has been lucky to also be a voice for BBC Scotland for the last 30 years, and that work supplemented his income and kept him in Scotland much of the time. “The 30 years I spent as a freelance broadcaster for BBC Radio Scotland, which included 27 years presenting (the roots and folk music program) ‘Travelling Folk,’ kind of acted as a preservative for me. I had that other string to my bow and never had a chance to get burned out on the road,” he says. When asked about his life off stage, Fisher declined comment. 50th Anniversary: Scottish folk musician Archie Fisher kicks off the Princeton Folk Society’s season on Friday, September 19. “I feel now that it is a privilege to be invited to sing in the venues that invite me. I suppose I am fortified by the life experiences I have had. I always loved a good yarn, and they seem to have slipped into my repertoire,” Fisher says as he prepares to open the golden anniversary season of a regional treasure.

Even if we don’t see her “doing it” or even talking about “doing it,” she is the embodiment of physical love and desire in Shakespeare’s “Antony & Cleopatra.” Funnily, there are no passionate love scenes, save a kiss and a little cuddling in this somewhat actionless play about love. As such, it puts unusual demands upon the two actors who share title billing. Antony has the easier time of it — being a liar and remarkably constant from first to last. But Cleo, an actress through and through who knows that he knows it, is changeable and yet a charmer from first to last. What is evident from start to last is that Esau Pritchett and Nicole Ari Parker are having fun with their roles and are a significant boost to the intruding languor that mars so much of this post-modernist production under the direction of Emily Mann. How curious it is that so few of the Cleopatras I have seen have been able to harness the complex, compliant nature of the Egyptian queen as perceived by the Bard. My memories of them include the otherwise incomparable Vanessa Redgrave who played at the Public Theater in bodice and pantaloons. With a cigarillo dangling from her mouth, she blew smoke rings around her fellow players in a weird production that had the Roman soldiers toting Tommy-guns in a big brother-ized Alexandria. Before that, a production at the Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey had the queen and a chorus of undulating handmaidens from the inverted palm school of dance turning on the heat beneath swaying papyrus leaves in a somewhat campy production. Only last year, again at the Public, an entrancing Cleopatra with a Haitian accent and French army officer Antony made whoopee on a Caribbean island during the Napoleonic era. What could those actors and their directors have been thinking? Could it be that they could only see Cleo as the most theatrical charac- Esau Pritchett and Nicole Ari Parker are a significant boost to the intruding languor that mars so much of this post-modernist production. ter in history rather than as the most enigmatic and opaque of all Shakespeare’s heroines? But here we go again, transported this time to a galaxy far away to find the lovers ranting and writhing in what looks like the interior of a surrealized pyramid. Its three tilting multi-hued walls as designed by Daniel Ostling are beautifully illumined by lighting designer Edward Pierce. But they remain fixed regardless of any change in location and as a result become tiresome to look at. The impressive (a new one it seems for every encounter) array Title Characters: Nicole Ari Parker and Esau Pritchett. of sheer and stylish haute couture designed for Cleo by Paul Tazewell is stunning and has a contemporary chic, but the heavy black leatherwear/uniforms for the men bring back memories of “Star Wars” and “Star Trek.” But they make you ask what the weather — perhaps even the fashion mindset — was like to warrant this disparity in styles in the Eastern Mediterranean? Given Parker’s limitations in plumbing the depths of Cleo’s duplicitous nature, she looks the part and plays it with a frenetic uncertainly that paradoxically befits the immature, impetuous “serpent of the Nile.” I suspect that rehearsals have played havoc with her voice, as she sounded raspy on opening night and much of her speech was incomprehensible. However prone to grand gesticulation, Parker plays nicely with the humor behind the spoiled and fickle Cleo’s agenda. Isn’t that close to what Shakespeare possibly had in mind? This is a reunion of sorts: Mann directed Parker (as Blanche) in “A Streetcar Named Desire” last season on Broadway. The tall, good-looking, and very muscular Pritchett looks as if he spent most of his time away from pumping Cleo in the palace gym pumping iron. But he has a big booming voice and gives an honorable performance as the warmhearted and yet emotionally volatile hero. There is no lack of range in his acting, especially when it comes to demonstrating Antony’s gift of oratory, or in his quick changing moods. At best he is natural and honest and often in marked contrast to the performances of many of the lesser supporting players. McCarter audiences will remember Pritchett for his terrific McCarter debut last season in “Fences.” Best among the supporting cast were Michael Siberry as the shrewd but blind-sided Enobarbus, and the familiarly campy Everett Quinton. Famed for his years as artistic director of Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company, Quinton most recently had a personal triumph starring in “Drop Dead Perfect” off Broadway. He knows how to steal a scene from a queen armed only with his glittery designer handbag in tow as the court’s obligatory eunuch. Tobias Segal applied an unctuous facade to hard-nosed Octavius Caesar, and Zainab Jah was bubbly as Cleopatra’s devoted hand maiden. Land and sea power was also well represented by the virile performance of Thom Sesma as Lepidus. The best part of the production was the vibrant, exciting percussion score that provided musical segues between the scenes as played by Mark Katsaounis on a variety of percussive instruments in the corner of the stage. Pruned by Mann from its original 42 scenes (let’s guess about four hours), the play at two-and-a-half hours still takes its time to finally wind up with the expected “asp”-you-like-it. Whatever you call this particular spin that Mann has put on the languid story that the Bard so ardently chronicled, it connects us fleetingly with the great and tragic characters of an age-old story. And if my earlier remark about any lack of action may concern you, be assured that the drummer is not going to let you doze for any length of time.

Actress Meryl Streep joins the Takacs String Quartet in a program that includes readings from Philip Roth’s 2006 novel “Everyman,” as well as Franz Schubert’s dramatic “Death and the Maiden” quartet. The performance takes place in Richardson Auditorium of Alexander Hall on Friday, September 19, at 7:30 p.m. The concert — a unique event to be presented only in Princeton — is the brainchild of Takacs first violinist Edward Dusinberre, a Roth fan. Other quartet members are Karoly Schranz, second violin; Geraldine Walther, viola; and Andras Fejer, cello. The quartet takes its name from its original first violinist, Gabor Takacs-Nagy. Interviewed by telephone in his Boulder, Colorado, home, Dusinberre imagines himself as an audience member. “Putting the program together was a matter of selfish curiosity on my part. I wanted to hear the meditaWords Meet Strings: Meryl Streep, left, and Philip tion on death in the Roth novel, and I wanted Roth, right.

But what they were looking for was someone a little unusual, says Verdino, “someone who was forward thinking enough to share our interest in doing monthly things that were a little out of the norm and wanting to make it fun and engaging so that employees wouldn’t feel like it was a burden.” As wellness was just coming on the scene, most of the companies they talked to seemed too “cookie cutter-ish” for Amicus. “They just didn’t have the imagination we had,” Verdino says, explaining that most companies would do a biometric screening, then a webinar on the health awareness topic of the month. Or they might do flu shots or hold a clinic to check people’s cholesterol and glucose. But that was it. A biometric screening is a 36-panel blood test that tests red and white cells, hemoglobin, blood glucose, and hematocrit, and calculates body mass index using weight, height, neck, and waist measurements. The result of the biometric screening is an aggregate report of how healthy a population panelists: Stacey Verdino, left, Emma Fogt, and Mike Makowsky speak at the Princeton Chamber’s fourth annual Healthcare Symposium on September 23. Their subject: ‘Innovative Employers: Helping Your Employees Help You.’ is. “You won’t know anything specific about a person’s medical issues,” Verdino says. The first wellness company they selected did the biometric screenings, but otherwise left them holding the bag. One of the things Amicus had to take care of was its walking program. Each employee had a pedometer and an icon representing them on a huge map of Italy in the lobby. The problem was each icon had to be physically moved as the data came in. “I think the visual was what really got people going,” Verdino says, noting that everybody had an icon disguise, for example, Charlie Chaplin or Frank Sinatra. “Nobody knew who was who until the big unveiling at the awards ceremony.” Amicus decided on a three-year plan. By the beginning of 2012 it started year one of the formal wellness program, in which it tied participation to financial incentives. Thompson Management That first year, if an employee participated in a biometric screening and a health risk assessment (which focuses on personal medical history and lifestyle issues, for example, asking the participant about tobacco use, nutrition, physical activity, stress, and other behavioral conditions that have been shown to be significant predictors of future risks), then Amicus would make a contribution to that employee’s health savings accounts. “Our mission in 2012 was to increase awareness of personal and corporate health risk factors and provide tools for a healthier work environment,” Verdino says, noting that the goal was to create a foundation and establish baselines for individual wellness and what people needed to focus on. They also created a “Be Well” working environment, with Benny the Bee as Amicus’s wellness mascot. www.thompsonmanagementllc.com n 609-921-7655 350 Corporate Blvd., Robbinsville 1,206 - 3,181 SF Office Space for Lease • Ample Parking Available • Park-like setting • Conv.

For brain health month, for example, they took advantage of the zombie craze, and, in addition to learning more about diseases that affect the brain, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s (both diseases that Amicus studies as part of its biopharmaceutical work on rare and genetic diseases), they had a zombie shooting gallery. “Because you have to shoot a zombie in the brain to kill it,” she explains. So they put the zombie video game on a big screen in the large conference room and, she joked, “We are the O.K. Corral of zombies.” During May, which is typically skin cancer awareness month, they gave out little packets of sunscreen and lip balm and hosted a talk on the dangers of sun exposure and tanning beds. It was probably in the mid to upper 90s, she said, and they did that one as a lunch-and-learn. “We did it at lunchtime to lure them with healthy food,” she says. “No more cookies at our lunches, just fruit platters.” The first year the focus was entirely on making it fun. “You could come if you wanted to; we didn’t tie it to anything,” Verdino says. “We wanted it to be something that employees are naturally inclined to want to do without there being any kind of financial incentive initially.” While all the fun and games were going on, they started interviewing different wellness provid- LO C ompanies large and small are using wellness programs in an effort to reduce healthcare costs while improving the health of their employees. The pieces of these programs have been around for a while, but companies are learning more about them and becoming more assertive in convincing their employees to get involved. Many are opting for help from wellness brokers who provide tools, materials, and an online application to bring it all together. Stacey Verdino, associate human resources director at Amicus Therapeutics, Emma Fogt, nutritionist and wellness consultant, and Steven Chinn, vice president of compensation, benefits and HR services at Novo Nordisk, will speak Tuesday, September 23, on a panel “Innovative Employers: Helping Your Employees Help You,” with Mike Makowsky, medical director at New Jersey Manufacturers, moderating.

Verdino had the idea of implementing a wellness program at Amicus about two years into her nine-year tenure, and finally got it going with the help of a human resources colleague in 2011. The Amicus people started it by themselves, in their own way, with no help from an outside vendor. “It was all participation-based,” Verdino says. “The first year we implemented the wellness program, it was all about having fun and introducing employees to fun things about learning to stay healthy.” To blast off the homegrown pro- by michele Alperin Whitehorse Commercial Park 127 Route 206, Hamilton Township, NJ 779-2,915 SF • For Lease • Office/Flex Ample Parking • Conv.

Cost: $75. Tickets can be purchased at www. princetonchamber.org or by calling 609-924-1776. At the symposium, industry leaders will talk about reducing healthcare costs through wellness. The first keynote speaker is Melita Jordan, director of chronic disease prevention at the New Jersey Department of Health, who will discuss the state’s Chronic Disease Prevention Plan, the impact employee illness has on an employer, From that 2012 baseline the 90-employee company learned some interesting things. Whereas 30 percent of employees thought they were in great health and only 1 percent saw their health as poor or below average, the actual scores indicated that 68 percent were in great health but 7 percent were at high to very high risk for developing long-term health issues. That year the program had both individual and corporate incentives; if the company was able to improve its average wellness score by 2 points, then there would be a healthy barbecue event the following spring, and if by 3 or more points, a “wellness floating holiday.” For individuals, a 2-point improvement meant a $50 company contribution to the person’s health savings account and a 3-point or more improvement, a $100 contribution. In 2013 the program got a little more complicated. Points were assigned for participation in a variety of health-promoting activities: for example, attending educational events or medical testing, getting a flu shot, annual exams, race participation, quitting smoking for a day, talking to a health coach, or serving healthy food at meetings. These points were tied to Amicus depositing money in an employee’s health savings account. Amicus set aside $1,500 in eligible funding for each employee; of this, $750 was funded up front in January, another $300 for completing the screening and risk assessment, and the remaining $450 depended on wellness participation points. Not so satisfied with its first vendor, Amicus eventually found a company — Well Works in West Chester, Pennsylvania — that Verdino says “was ahead of its time.” But maybe not quite as much as Amicus. “We put them through the ringer and helped get them more forward-thinking,” she says. “They were ready but didn’t have companies forward thinking enough to do it with them.” One important tool for creating a healthy work environment at Amicus was working with the chef to provide more healthy lunch choices. The company also put healthier snacks in its vending machines — baked chips and fruity items. “We did leave some of the bad stuff but priced it outrageously,” Verdino says. The company has since replaced the vending machines with candy bowls, which have come to serve an interesting purpose. Verdino says, “You can tell by the number of times we fill the candy bowls how stressed the organization is.” They have also encouraged the use of the stairs and, of course, walking and use of their on-site gym. “As the program evolves, it has gotten where people need to do a little more every year to earn the money we give them,” said Verdi- and the resources available for both employees and employers. The second keynote will be delivered by Peter Gillies, director of the New Jersey Institute for Food Nutrition & Health at Rutgers. He will talk about how his institute can be a support system and a resource to the state, how health and wellness affect businesses and their employees, and the importance for employers to create a culture of health in their business. In addition to the panel on wellness programs (see main story, page 28), a second panel, “An Update on the Affordable Care Act,” includes Christine Stearns of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, Bill Rue of Rue Insur- ance, and Ryan Petrizzi of Amerihealth. The morning will conclude with a CEO roundtable of healthcare leaders, focusing on healthcare trends and strategies for delivering quality care at low costs, as well as the importance of employee wellness. Panelists will be Richard Freeman, president and CEO of Robert Wood Johnson Hospital Hamilton; Darlene Hanley, president of St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center in Lawrenceville; Christy Stephenson, interim president and CEO of St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton; Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health in Hopewell; and Robert Wise, president and CEO of Hunterdon Medical Center. no. The first year they just had to do the biometric screening, then the screening plus events and going for preventive doctor visits and dental checkups. Today they log into each of these on the Well Works website to get points. The data from the screenings and assessments provide guidance on the types of educational programs Amicus’s employees need, rather than relying on something more random like the disease of the month. After that first screening, they found that their population was relatively healthy, with a median age in the mid-40s, but, says Verdino, “they had the typical cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, laziness/inactivity/couch potato issues.” “We found out that in the first real year we had people who didn’t exercise enough, but were on the fence about wanting to make changes,” she says. They also real- challenging them to look at their overall health and make changes to their overall health,” Verdino says. “It seems to be best practice with most wellness companies that you definitely want to evolve from being participation-based to outcome-based — because the whole reason why you are doing a wellness program is to get people healthy.” If outcomes change — for example, by losing weight or lowering cholesterol — claims should go down, she says. This means that premiums would not go up as much, and the company should see some return on its investment in wellness. Sometimes, of course, concessions will have to be made regarding outcomes. For example, obesity might be caused by something that is not within an individual’s power to fix, and with a doctor’s note, they have to figure out a work around. But even if cholesterol runs high in a family, a person can get a prescription for medications to lower cholesterol, says Verdino. Another adjustment had to be made for a body builder who was in great shape but whose weight fell into an unhealthy range because of his high muscle-to-fat ratio. This year Amicus has told its employees that the biometric screenings would constitute a baseline, with the goal of seeing improvements to areas in unhealthy ranges in 2016. Verdino notes that many conditions that are big claims drivers, like cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure, can all be managed with diet, exercise, and medication. Amicus therapeutics’ home-grown wellness program has evolved to include financial incentives for participation in screenings, preventive care, and other wellness activities. ized that 25 percent of the workforce had high to very high-risk cholesterol issues, were overweight, had bad eating habits, were not getting their recommended daily allowance of fruits and veggies, were consuming too many carbs, and were drinking too much. This led the company to tie wellness activities to opportunities to earn incentives. Along with the wellness program, Amicus adopted a “self insured” insurance approach. The company pays for medical claims up to a certain point, after which a “stop loss” carrier pays the rest. This change will enable the company to make comparisons among data for different years. Because not all companies do biometric screenings the same way, they have not been able yet to do an apples-to-apples comparison to see what effects the wellness program has had. But now they will be able to compare claims data from last year to this year to see whether they have made progress in their managed disease states. Verdino cautions the bean counters not to expect an immediate return on investment. “It takes three to five years to see a change because you are changing mindsets and habits,” she says. The next step for Amicus in the development of its wellness program will mean a big change for employees. “We are going to start V U.S. 1 29 LEASE/SALE 250 Phillips Blvd-Ewing conveniently located - competitively priced t t t t t t Princeton Crossroads Corporate Center 2,221 - 21,300 square feet of office space for lease Owner/Occupy vacant space for $8.91/SF Gross*!

We Have a Place For Your Company In Hospitals, Good Design vs. the Forces of Chaos O n May 22, 2012, a convoy of ambulances left the University Medical Center at Princeton on Witherspoon Street and headed for the brand new, $500 million University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. By the end of the day 110 patients had been moved — the first people to put the new hospital to its ultimate and most important test. Barry Rabner, CEO of Princeton Healthcare System, knew that the hospital was full of features that had seemed well thought out, but had yet to be proven useful in real life. Everything about the building, from the lobby to the faucets in the patient rooms, had been designed with the goals of reducing hospitalacquired infections, reducing falls, reducing errors, improving patient satisfaction, reducing costs, and a number of other goals. “I thought of the building as more than just a container for things and people,” Rabner says. “If it was designed properly, it could help achieve these very important objectives that we had.” Its layout was novel, with “centers of care” replacing traditional Amicus Continued from preceding page excitement around the wellness program and how it has changed people’s mindfulness” has impressed Verdino. “That in and of itself has increased employee engagement. I think they are more thoughtful about their overall health, and it’s something I’m pretty proud of,” she says. hospital departments — cancer patients, for instance, would only have to visit one part of the hospital for various consultations and treatments rather than being shuffled from place to place. Each part of ‘I thought of the building as more than just a container for things and people,’ rabner says. ‘It could help achieve these very important objectives that we had.’ the hospital was designed to the hilt, with hours of planning going into details like the font on the signs. To shoot the troubles as quickly as possible, the hospital administration set up a “command center” where any staff member could report a problem. Sure enough, problems cropped up: there weren’t enough signs to direct patients around the new hospital, and peo- Emma Fogt: From Work Culture To Wellness Culture ple got lost. The usual telecommunications glitches piled up. Before long 3,000 problems had been reported. Two years later those problems have all been ticked “resolved,” and Rabner has time to reflect on what worked and what didn’t, drawing lessons that can be used in any business, not just those building a hospital. Firmly in the “success” column is the design of the new patient rooms. They are a radical departure from what existed on Witherspoon Street. To design the single-patient rooms, as with the rest of the hospital, Princeton Health consulted a team of experts and incorporated best practices from more than 1,500 pieces of hospital design research. They convened groups of patients, doctors, and nurses, and had them talk about their problems, their needs, and what they wanted in a patient room. But before settling on the design, they built a model room at the old hospital and had 75 actual patients stay there. Rabner and other hospital executives spent the night on the couch that is in every room, playing the role of a visitor. Then bike, and swim a triathlon,” Fogt says.

The clock, situated just to the right of the TV, is not visible from some places in the room. Another slight problem arose from one of the room’s most touted features — patients get plenty of sunlight and a great view from a large window on one side of the room, but the large window also necessitated a climate control system. The visitors’ couch, being situated right below the window, was subject to an annoying breeze from the vent. “I consider that really modest considering all the decisions we had to make,” Rabner says. If he had the process to do over again, Rabner said he would make “model rooms” based on other parts of the hospital, to subject them to the same trial by fire that the patient rooms got. That proved to be one of the more productive parts of the design process. However, listening to focus groups’ ideas on how to solve various problems proved to be less than Luxury Accommodations: All rooms at the new University Medical Center of Princeton are single occupancy and incorporate best practices from more 1,500 pieces of hospital design research. useful. “Groups made up of those professions do a really great job of understanding what doesn’t work in the current environment and describing what their jobs requires, and they are often very good at understanding what the patient and family needs,” he says. “They are not good at coming up with solutions.” Some ideas seem great on paper, but in practice are difficult to evaluate. As Rabner told New York Times’ architectural critic Michael Kimmelman in a review printed August 22, the new hospital’s antibacterial flooring cost about $1 more per square foot than conventional flooring — a difference of about $700,000 overall. “Sounds like a good idea,” says Rabner. “Where’s the evidence that it works?” Rabner would also make a change in the way the hospital dealt with the professionals who were assigned to design different parts of the plan: he would tie their compensation to how well they achieved larger objectives. For ex- ample, the makers of the hospital’s air system would be paid extra money if there was a low infection rate, not if their filters moved a certain volume of air per minute. “We need to be more thoughtful in developing contracts that measure professional success in achieving the goals that go back to our guiding principles,” he says, noting that the approach would encourage more collaboration between different professions, such as engineers and architects. “The challenge is that there are all sorts of factors that contribute to achieving those goals,” Rabner admitted. “They can’t be held responsible for the quality of the policies and procedures of the staff.” The best designed hospital in the world would be a failure if the doctors inside were poorly trained. In the end, even the most powerful person in the most controlled possible environment has to rely on others. “I’m the CEO, and I can’t control everything,” Rabner says. — Diccon Hyatt Al Toto - [email protected] Princeton Office for Lease, 1181 SF - 2362 SF Nassau Street Location Parking on site, available immediately.

Weidel Realtors Commercial Division 2 Route 31 South • Pennington, N.J. 08534 609-737-2077 CCIM Individual Member Certified Commercial Investment Member She spent 1988 to 1992 doing research on obesity and the nutrition of the critically ill at the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, which did cutting-edge research on Fen-Phen and insulin resistance. At Boston University she got a master’s degree in communication, which she says nourished the creative side that is so important in healthcare and wellness. After moving to Pennsylvania for her husband’s job, she earned an MBA focused on healthcare management at Eastern College in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, and then taught at a nursing school. In 2002 she opened a private practice, Nutrition for Kids, Teens, and Families, where she did one-on-one sessions for ages 2 to 18, specializing in failure-to-thrive babies, obesity, and gastrointestinal issues like celiac disease. “I would see a baby, then be facing an 18-year-old and talking about sports nutrition,” she says. “It was fascinating and awesome to have that different variety in one practice.” In 2011, with her children grown, she closed down her practice and become a consultant on health and wellness. To support her growing practice, she has just written a book, “Having Your All,” which talks about how self-care leads to an energized, empowered, and effective life; in the book she covers the five power habits of selfcare: sleep, eating, stress, passion and purpose, and movement. “I knew I wanted to do something bigger,” she says. “Now I can work full on.” NJM’s Makowsky: Using the Carrot N ew Jersey Manufacturers’ wellness programs date back to the 1990s, says Mike Makowsky, the medical director at the West Trenton-based firm. Back then, these comprised nurses at two out of its three sites who provided basic care like flu vaccines and first aid. Over the years things evolved toward more preventative programs, including mammograms on site and smoking cessation, open to employees, spouses, and dependents. Then two years ago, NJM added another dimension, via Keas, a social media program that allows employees to set health goals for themselves and compete on teams to achieve modest rewards (a kea, is a large species of parrot known for its curiosity and playfulness). The program provides education about wellness and allows employees and their families to take quizzes and quests to earn points that can be used for incentive prizes. A quiz might be a series of questions on what would be included in a low-sodium diet. A quest might be a challenge for the coming week to eat breakfast five out of seven days and also to be involved in a 20-minute exercise program for three days. Employees track their progress on the computer, and numbers are calculated at the end of the challenge and compared to other people’s. Prizes, he says, are usually $50 cash cards, but sometimes items like socks and baseball caps. “We are very pleased because we have had 60 to 65 percent engagement by our employees, which is more than any other wellness program provided,” he says. In the first part of 2014 NJM had vendors come in and do biometric screenings, whose numbers were recorded and entered into Keas, and 41 percent of employees participated. “The employees got reports on risk; and it gives us objective evidence of where we can target our wellness programs,” Makowsky says. They found that body mass indexes were signaling risk, and in response NJM will have more wellness programs directed to weight reduction and nutrition counseling. Now in the second part of the year, NJM has begun to do health risk assessments, which are available through Keas. If employees do both the biometric screening and the health risk assessment, they will have $100 directly deposited into their accounts. He says about 44 percent of employees participated, as compared to the industry standard of 30 to 35 percent. NJM plans to continue the biometric screening and risk assessment every year, and over time they will see whether they can reduce cholesterol counts and BMIs. When they did their first health risk assessment two years ago, they were surprised to learn that over 10 percent of their employees were smokers, and since then NJM has been active in providing a tobaccofree workplace and supporting it with a smoking cessation program. Makowsky notes that NJM is still in the “carrot phase,” offering incentives to encourage people to make lifestyle modifications and reduce their health risks. Many companies have moved on to assuming that employees will participate and applying the “stick,” where the consequence of nonparticipation and not achieving goals means paying a higher percentage of their healthcare premiums. NJM has no immediate plans to do that.

EngageClick’s ad engagement platform, Granato says, “can take display ads that you would see on a computer, tablet, or phone and serve those ads to consumers at any given time and any given place.” But the ads are not “one size fits all,” he observes, as has historically been the case. “What we do is take a combination of what you’ve looked at in the past and machine learning, using cookies and big third party data,” he says. “We don’t know your name or any of your personal information, but when you are on your mobile we know where you are and what you are looking for.” This information allows them to present contextually relevant ads — from brands ranging from consumer packaged goods companies, quick-serve restaurants, and automotive manufacturers to pharma, insurance, and financial service companies — to a consumer, based lli Tires,” says Granato. “If, say, it on interests, where they are, the is raining, you might see a Pirelli ad time of day, and the weather. that is dynamic.

He says he wanted to be a doctor as long as he can remember, and first worked in a hospital during junior high school, as an orderly. He went to SUNY Buffalo in premed and went to medical school at Indiana University at Purdue. His internship and residency, in internal medicine, were at St. Vincent’s Hospital Medical Center in New York City, and then he completed a two-year fellowship in nephrology at New York Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering. Then he was on the staff at Sloan Kettering, eventually burning out from working intensively with the terminally ill. So, when someone offered him an opportunity involved more in prevention than treating people at the end stage of a disease, he took it. His position was with Mobil Oil in occupational medicine, and he spent three years in Saudi Arabia. “A good part of occupational medicine is preventing injuries and illnesses, and I learned a great deal.” When he returned to the United States, he joined Union Carbide as assistant corporate medical director. After five years he joined ICI Americus, a chemical company in Wilmington, Delaware, as assistant corporate medical director and was involved in wellness programs as • sheets FAX: well as writing 7000 safety data and responding to toxicology and hazardous waste0033 problems. Then he returned to clinical medicine, as medical director of the occupational medicine at Iowa Methodist Medical Center. His next move was to Trenton to become medical director of corporate health programs at Capital Health. After 10 years there, he came to at NJM, where he has been medical director for about eight years. Makowsky, who is responsible for the wellness programs at NJM and is also involved in the business units and in the medical aspects of workers compensation claims, says he is especially proud of introducing the Keas program, because it has enabled NJM to get more employees involved who haven’t been involved in the past. “We offer many onsite programs such as Weight Watchers, aerobic dance, and zumba, but that often attracts the same employees,” he says. “Keas has broadened the number of employees and made the level of engagement much higher.” “It is too early to say that wellness programs are reducing healthcare costs, but I know that wellness programs are good for companies,” APRIL 13, 2011 U.S. 1 47 says Makowsky.

His first job was in a training program at American Greeting Cards, where, he says, “I spent a lot of time in stores.” He moved to the publishing world and in the mid1990s began working for Snyder Communications, where he was responsible for launching placebased media programs in doctors’ offices, day care centers, and airports. He joined Snyder when it had fewer than 50 employees. When Dan Snyder sold the company, there were 1,000 employees. (Snyder later bought the Washington Redskins.) Granato went to New Yorkbased Accent Health, another firm that brings media to doctors’ offices, where he was vice president of sales, and went on to be one of five founders of Exam Room Network (ERN) a medical marketing platform based in physicians’ examination rooms. After selling ERN in 2005 to Cincinnati-based On Target Media, Granato stayed on for 10 months, then moved to Princeton-based InStore Broadcasting Network, which delivered point-of-sale vid- SALE OR LEASE Ideal for: -Gym -Office -Gallery -Dance -Brew Pub -Massage Pilates -Cross fit William Barish, [email protected] 609-921-8844 or 609-731-6076 Commercial Property Network, Inc.

He then spent three years as senior vice president of sales and marketing for MediVista Media, which provided point-of-care marketing videos to doctors’ offices. He then worked about a year each with RMG Networks in Princeton and Canoe Ventures and BrightLine, both in the greater New York area. Though Granato says he cannot comment on EngageClick’s revenue, he allows that EngageClick has about 25 clients or strategic partners, which are a combination of brands, advertising agencies, and publishing partners, companies that might own television stations, magazines, and websites. “They use our technology to serve better and more context-relevant ads,” he says. The company expects to grow strongly over the next 6 to 12 months and is projected to double its head count in sales and marketing and in research. It also expects to triple the number of clients, customers, and strategic partners over the next year. — Michele Alperin engageclick, 33 Witherspoon Street, Suite 210, Princeton 08542; 609-306-9247; Rick Granato, www.engageclick. com.
