cago. His father worked in furniture factories and his mother was a
cleaning lady.
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probably a little bit out of date.”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,

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.”

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.”

NJ Ivory Ban: Good Move or Useless Gesture?
n
by Michele Byers
ew Jersey is thousands of
miles from the killing fields of Africa,
where elephants and rhinoceroses are
slaughtered for their tusks and horns.
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.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2014
Marsh Nature Center Opens Eyes to Discovery
‘W
ait, there’s something I
want to show you!” Kelly Rypkema calls to
the visitors heading for the exit. 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-

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

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.
But for today Rypkema’s focus is on Fam-

prizes and give-aways, including a wine tasting package, a pontoon boat tour around
Spring Lake, and kids’ outdoor exploration

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.

advanced open and minimally invasive techniques.
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.

Like any advanced machine, it is
durable and spectacular and vital. But it’s so intricate that it can
be fragile and delicate and in
need of a skilled mechanic to repair its precision.
In the end, though, the task is
rewarding and a privilege,
LaRocca says. “I love what I do.
When patients come in and they
thank you and they hug you for
healing them … I don’t know if
you can describe that.”

Review: ‘A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody’
‘A
Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody,” Detroit-based
playwright Ron Bernas’s 2009
spoof on 1930s screwball comedymysteries, is the fun autumn opener
for Off-Broadstreet Theater’s new
season.
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

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.

Lace Silhouettes Lingerie: Finding the Perfect Fit

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.
“When they leave, their intention is to throw the bra drawer
out.”

Folk’s 50th Opens With Scotland’s Archie Fisher
I
f you are even mildly curious
about Scottish and Celtic folk music, you cannot do any better than
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. With the
strong educational centers produc-

ing and fostering talent to a level
that was not available in my youth,
you can now get a degree in ‘Folk
Music’ and a business plan is part
of that,” he says.
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.

Review: ‘Antony & Cleopatra’
C
by Simon Saltzman
leopatra was, to put it
kindly, not especially well known
for her deeds, but rather for being
simply well known (in the biblical
sense). 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-

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

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.

Theme and Variation: Takacs and Streep Score Philip Roth

rinceton University Concerts
opens its 2014-’15 season by displaying the
transformation of death into art. 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

ers that could partner with Amicus.
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

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.

looked at the calendar, where different months are highlighted for
awareness of a disease or health
condition, and they planned educational programs based on this calendar.
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-

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

Food For Thought: Princeton Chamber’s Healthcare Symposium
the Princeton Regional
Chamber’s Fourth Annual Healthcare Symposium will be Tuesday,
September 23, from 7:30 a.m. to 1
p.m. at the Conference Center at
Mercer County Community College in West Windsor. 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

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

from place to place. Each part of

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-

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

they kept making changes based on
feedback, until it was as perfect as
they could make it. “We made upwards of 300 changes,” Rabner
said. “To me, this is a good example of the limits of sitting around a
conference room with well-intended people trying to solve problems.”
Even so, there were minor details that evaded detection. 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

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.

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.
Makowsky grew up on Long Island, and both of his parents died
reverons.

f authentic marketing means

can get to ferreting out individuals’
needs the better the bottom line.
The three-year-old company
EngageClick, which now has a
sales office at 33 Witherspoon
Street with a team of five headed
by Rick Granato, has developed
what it calls a technology ad platform that personalizes ads served
to consumers.
Granato, who has been with the
company for nine months, notes
that the first two years were spent
perfecting the technology and
building the proprietary algorithm
and ad platform. Once perfected,
they went to market.
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

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

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

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,”

Hopewell with his wife, Amy, a realtor for Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s.
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,

eo commercials to supermarkets.
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.
