A Pollster’s View
On U.S. Opinions
D
id you know that 74 percent
of all statistics are made up on the
spot? Fortunately for us, Frank
Newport,
editor-in-chief
of
Gallup, never allows himself the
luxury of the loose percentage or
cocktail party statistic.
When America wants to know
what we think of our president, our
gun or abortion laws, our
teenagers, or where we are going in
our religions, we turn to Newport.
Opinion Matters:
Frank Newport, editor
in chief of Gallup, will
speak at the Princeton Historical Society’s annual meeting
on Wednesday, February 6.
He and the 700 Gallup interviewers he oversees conduct 350,000
annual interviews plus inquiries in
another 150 nations. As he puts it,
“The poll is an invaluable tool for
uncovering collective wisdom.”
For those who want to learn
where America is currently trending and how Gallup is keeping its
pulse on our 300 million souls,
Newport will be speaking on “The
Insider’s Guide to America Today”
at the Princeton Historical Society’s free annual meeting and
Lewis B. Cuyler Lecture on
Wednesday, February 6, at 7 p.m.,
at Princeton’s Nassau Club, 6 Mercer Street. Visit www.princetonhistory.org to reserve seats.
For the last 26 years, Newport
has held his hand on the pulse of
the nation’s public opinion and behaviors. He dutifully records our
beliefs and practices on politics,
economy, religion, major issues,
and consumer habits. A tantalizing
taste of his analyses and results
may be found on his NPR weekly
radio show “What Are We Thinking” and WHYY-FM’s “Attitude
Check,” and many media outlets.
He has written “Polling Matters:
Why Leaders must listen to the
Wisdom of the People” and cowrote “Winning the White House
2008: The Gallup Poll, Public
Opinion, and the Presidency.” His
latest book, “God is Alive and
Well,” may be said to truly rock religion’s doom-and-gloom prognoticators who have been forecasting
faith’s demise this past decade.
A native of Fort Worth, Texas,
Newport grew up the “son of a
Southern Baptist theologian and
philosopher father.” He attended
Baylor University at the height of
this nation’s collegiate dissidence
and anti-Vietnam-war protests,
from 1966 to 1970. His broadcasting degree and an expected career
in the field got sidetracked by military service, which redirected him
to the University of Michigan,
where he earned a Ph.D. in sociology. Armed with his doctorate,
Newport then taught at the University of Missouri. In 1987, he joined
the opinion poll firm of Tarrance,
Hill, Newport & Ryan, which was
bought by Gallup a year later.
Gallup was founded in Princeton in 1935 by George Gallup as
One of the reasons
that our lawmakers
may not be catching
on to our collective
wishes and wisdom
is that we’re sending
some pretty confused
signals.
the American Institute of Public
Opinion. After Gallup’s death the
firm was sold in 1988 to Selection
Research Inc. Though the company’s world headquarters was
moved to Washington D.C., the
firm continues to maintain a
Princeton location at 502 Carnegie
Center.
In 1991, Newport took over as
editor-in-chief
of America’s
largest and most prestigious
polling firm, and his decades of
work to make the polling process
more complete and accurate have
afforded him a rare view of where
the country is headed.
With the incessant barrage of
special interest preachments, media streams, and hastily conducted
news surveys, it is frankly difficult
for the American public — all 300
million of us — to have an idea of
what we are collectively thinking.
Newport finds that not only are we
very much interested and opinionated, but we appear to be very
much wiser than many of our leaders may be giving us credit for.
Anation of conflicts. One of the
reasons that our lawmakers may
not be catching on to our collective
wishes and wisdom, according to
FEBRUARY 6, 2013
Newport, is that we send some
pretty confused signals.
“In one way, we have always
been a nation of conservatives, that
is, we hate big government. We
think it is inefficient, we think it is
wasteful and not tending to our
needs,” says Newport. “On the other hand we wholeheartedly love
the things big government does for
us — Social Security, Medicare,
defense efforts — these we vote
high marks and high budgets.”
Likewise, we hate every new
tax, but love the things they buy —
education aid and its institutions,
the Centers for Disease Control, air
traffic control, our defense department.
“Nor are we any more fond of
large corporations,” notes Newport. “We time and again vote them
as self-serving, not concerned with
any of our interests, however, we
heartily approve of the personal
benefits they bring us.” The computer industry holds our national
suspicions, all the while we vote in
our polls and with our dollars our
approval of their latest fad products.
Top concerns. Point by individual point, the public has expressed
positive views of President Obama’s latest gun control bill. As a
nation, we are glad for each individual item, yet these are not tops
on the public’s agenda. The big
four concerns of Americans today
are, in order: The economy, the
federal debt, a dysfunctional legislature, and jobs.
It is the third of these that our citizens have been sending the loudest and clearest complaints to Congress, Newport points out. Congress has thus far in 2013 an
abysmal 14 percent approval rating, and an even worse 10 percent
rating in the last year. “We really
don’t want the opposition taking us
to the brink and living in a constant
state of threat,” says Newport. “We
want legislators to compromise,
and they are beginning to listen.”
Of course, everybody wants our
Congress to get back on track and
begin doing its job to free us from
this fiscal morass. However, we
Americans still remain woefully
divided by our party persuasions.
Currently about 85 percent of Democrats approve of how President
Obama is conducting business,
while only 10 percent of Republicans say they approve. Regardless
of how anxious we are for them to
compromise, we are sticking fairly
strongly to our political party
camps.
Part of this party division is inherited. Afro-Americans typically
vote 95 percent Democratic, regardless of the candidate. Asian
immigrants are mostly Democratic
voters. “This last election 70 percent of Hispanic voters favored
President Obama. But there comes
a change here,” says Newport. “As
Hispanics move into the second
and third generation, they become
increasingly Republican.”
Social & faith arenas. To lump
all popular liberal and conservative
agenda items onto a scale and poll
for the winner provides a distorted
picture. Newport reports that the
vast majority of Americans think
that gay marriage is acceptable. All
but 20 percent believe that abortion
is all right in certain cases. The majority, however, definitely feel that
teenage girls must get parental permission first.
In short, the good, old-fashioned
“family values” are not as mythically unified as we might believe.
Americans are deciding issue by
issue. This in no way, Newport
says, an indication that we are on a
secular slide or that religion, as we
know it, teeters on the edge of a
godless black hole. “We stand on
the cusp of many changes as to how
we express our religion,” he says.
“This is natural. It’s happened be-
fore, and that it is happening now
presents no threat to religion as a
whole.”
Keeping up to date. Today, 35
percent of all American households have only cell phones — no
land lines. For Gallup, who makes
most of its surveys through random
phone selection, this has taken a bit
of shuffling. The Gallup premise is
that if a random sampling may be
achieved, similar to the balls selected in the lottery, that small, random sampling can be representative of the whole. Using various
area codes and random numbers,
Gallup achieves its scientific selection. Since the company formed in
1935, its accuracy has been remarkably high.
Thus, Gallup today conducts approximately half of its interviews
over cell phones. It plans interviews to last between five to never
more than 18 minutes. “You need
enough questions so you can intercorrelate and compare answers,”
says Newport. At the same time,
you have to check for response
bias. Older women, it is known, are
more eager to be interviewed, but
you don’t want to claim national
opinion based on only the ideas of
women over 50.
The Gallup poll, like the census
and our electoral vote, is just one
more way of having our say.
Whether it’s a government seeking
our input on legislation, an academic studying our collective beliefs, or a manufacturer seeking
what we want in auto features,
Gallup provides one more avenue
for you to express your beliefs and
desires.
However, since democracy remains the rule of the most energetic, you might be better off seizing the lapels of those issues about
which you really care, and writing
a personal letter to your law or auto
maker. Then, you might set down
your pen and visit Newport’s blog,
PollingMatters.Gallup.com, to help
see how you stack up with the rest
of the nation. — Bart Jackson

Can The Economy
Catch A Break?
I
n case you aren’t up to speed
on your Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a sinner condemned to an
eternity of rolling a massive boulder up a hill, watching it roll back
down again, and forced to roll it
back up the hill.
“He was known for being the
most cunning and clever villain on
earth, until Hades came to claim
him for the underworld,” says
Gordon Fowler, president and
CEO of Glenmede, an independent
investment and wealth management firm with a number of offices
throughout the United States, including one at 16 Chambers Street.
“But what if Sisyphus could catch a
break? What if he could be pardoned?” Fowler asks.
Fowler, of course, is not just
speaking of the mythological character. He likens the U.S. economy

to Sisyphus. Debt is the boulder,
and reducing it could be the pardon
we have been looking for.
Fowler will speak on “The Pardoning of Sisyphus” at this
month’s Princeton Chamber of
Commerce luncheon on Thursday,

Center, 100 College Road East,

What is being done to solve the
most pressing issues of the world’s
economies, and what should we do
next? Deleveraging — the process
of reducing the level of debt by
selling assets — is one of the most
important steps, says Fowler. “The
world’s largest economies have
made progress in their efforts to
delever, but much is left to be done.
This has significant implications
for economic growth, investment
returns, and perhaps more importantly, risk management.”
Fowler serves not only as president and CEO of Glenmede and a
director of the Glenmede Trust
Company, N.A., he also serves as
Glenmede’s chief investment officer. In this role, he is responsible
for investment strategy, fund management, and research. With more
than $20 billion of assets under
management, Glenmede remains
independent and exclusively focused on the business of investment and wealth management.
Fowler joined the company in
2003 following a career of more
than 20 years with J.P. Morgan,
where he served in several management positions, including as
global head of investment management of the private bank and as
head of quantitative equity management for institutional asset
management.
Over the course of his career, he
has been responsible for the development of numerous equity and asset allocation strategies, and has
authored and co-authored several
pioneering articles on private

PMUG Offers Annual
CES Update
W
ant to find out about the
latest and greatest technology
products due to be released this
year? If so, you might want to attend this month’s meeting of the
Princeton MacIntosh Users Group.
Group member Bill Achuff will
give a report on Tuesday, February
12, at 7:30 p.m. on this year’s International Consumer Electronics
Show (CES), which was held from
January 7 to 9 in Las Vegas. The
meeting, held at Stuart Hall, Room
6, Princeton Theological Seminary, is free to attend. Go to pmugnj.org for more information.
The 2013 CES, attended by
Achuff, featured more than 3,000
exhibitors who showcased a wide
range of products including 3D, accessories, audio, automotive electronics, embedded technology,
lifestyle electronics, wireless, and
wireless devices.
“Bill will share with us the
unique, emerging and maturing
technologies he’s recently seen,
and what others have seen, that will
become part of our lives in the years
ahead,” says a release from PMUG.
Achuff, a Philadelphia-based
independent photographer for
newspapers, magazines, and websites, also teaches and writes about
his craft, and has managed several
photography Meetup groups. “The
first camera Bill reviewed was the
Sony Mavica released in 1981,”
says the PMUG release. “But his
interests with regard to gadgetry
extend beyond photography.”
Before pursuing photography as
a career, Achuff co-founded User
Group Alliance, produced more
than a dozen MacDinners, and coproduced the Macintosh Users
Networking Party.
The meeting will also feature
“PMUG Answers,” a question and
answer session at 6:30 p.m. before
the general meeting.

Farm Living Is The Life For These Women
T
hroughout the United States,
about 30 percent of farmers were women in
2007, a 19 percent increase in just five years.
They make much less than their male counterparts — $36,000 a year versus $150,671,
and farm less than half the acreage per capita, yet the women are more likely to own
their own land, according to Jenny Carleo of
Rutgers Cooperative Extension
In New Jersey there are about 2,261
women-operated farms, about one-fifth of
the total number of farms in the state. Their
farms average 29 acres in size and produce,
on average, $22,170 a year in products, way
below the state average of $95,584.
Carleo says that a growing number of
women are eager to start on the journey.“A
lot of new farmers are women,” she finds.
Two local woman farmers — both Ivy
League educated — who are currently treading that path are Jess Niederer, profiled below, and and Tannwen Mount, see story on
following page.
Niederer, 29, owner of Chickadee Creek
Farm on Titus Mill Road in Pennington,
claims that being a bit of an anomaly in a
male-dominated profession is more of an
advantage than otherwise. “I get asked what
I’m doing there a lot, and I get to tell my story,” she says, adding, “I’m usually up for
any advice anyone would like to give me.”
But she admits that the few male farmers
who will not stop calling her farm a “garden” do drive her a little crazy. For them, she
has to spell out her farming credentials, giving them a line like this: “My tractor recent-

Farm in Pennington, where

by Michele Alperin
ly had a fuel leak, and I had to take apart the
filters and check the priming pump to figure
out the source of the problem.”
At the same time, Niederer suggests that
for smaller-scale organic vegetable farms
like hers, male dominance may be on the decrease. “An overwhelming number of
women apply to be my employees,” she
says.
Her father, Steve Niederer, also a farmer,
was initially against Jess’s decision to follow in his path. “It was not something he
was looking for his Ivy League-educated
daughter to get into,” she says.
His worries had nothing to do with
machismo, but rather with his own struggles
as a farmer. Having experinced the struggles
of faming first hand, he was mostly concerned about whether his daughter could
make a living as the owner of an organic
farm.
But because things are going well for his
daughter — she is not investing tons of money with no return, and is moving slowly toward meeting her goals — he has become
more accepting. “He’s coming around because I’m not being a fool,” she says. “It has
come to be rewarding for him — after overcoming the shock of the thing.”
As a farmer himself, the elder Niederer
has also been able to mentor her in some
ways, particularly in the tool shed. “You can
learn to fix everything a lot faster if you have
someone who can fix everything working by
you and giving you tips,” she says. Repair is
apparently a critical farming skill; as the
saying goes, “agriculture is 20 percent farming and 80 percent fixing what got busted.”
Very much looking the part, Niederer, in
tan overalls and boots with thick dirtyblonde braids peaking out from her hat, now
leases eight acres from her father, who raisContinued on page 12

‘U
s farming women
make good wives,” so runs the old
maxim, “no matter what happens,
we’ve always seen worse.” Tannwen Mount-Washburn would be
the last person to label her life as
one of agricultural drudgery, yet by
any standards, her days are marked
by a ceaseless variety of activity
and challenge.
“I have an office that I venture
forth from about 20 times a day,”
she explains. “These trips are to
our farm’s orchard, bakery, winery,
store, or our many classes — and
yes, to work the field. Frankly, a
cubicle would kill me.”
As
heiress
apparent
to
Lawrenceville’s Terhune Orchards’ 200 acres and 35 crop varieties, Mount keeps that delicate
balance of CEO’s oversight and the
farmer’s personal involvement.
And it is a venture she’s been literally born into.
Gary and Pam Mount purchased
and moved into the original 55
acres of Terhune Orchards in 1975,
when daughter Tannwen was on
the way. Recently returned from an
exhilarating three-year agricultural Peace Corps project, newlyweds
Gary and Pam sought to bring back
to Pam’s native Princeton the sense
of farm community they had enjoyed. Thus Tannwen and her elder
sister Reuwai were the first beneficiaries of the Mounts’ attempted
farmutopia. “We had chores and
freedom to explore. We learned
how to care for and take responsibility,” recalls Tannwen.
After graduating from the
Lawrenceville School, Mount
moved a short distance down the

where she lived on campus. Majoring in anthropology she became intrigued with how cultures might effectively form themselves into
beneficial communities.
This led her to study the Navajo
tribes. “You can see how the creation of a hub provides so much
spiral of benefit for the individuals
involved,” says Mount. Upon
earning her degree in 1998, Mount

elieve it or not there was a
time not that long ago
when no one had heard of
doggie daycare. That changed
for local dogs and their owners
when All Good Dogs opened its
doors 14 years ago, making it the
first of its kind in the area!
All Good Dogs is owned by
Carole Lini, who has been running her personalized pet care
business for more than 20 years,
putting her wealth of experience
well ahead of the competition.
She is a veterinary technician
and along with All Good Dogs,
runs a successful pet care service called Whisker Watchers
serving all of Mercer county and
surrounding areas. Long ago Lini
realized that while pet sitting was
a great choice for many dogs,
there was still something missing
when it came to exercise and socialization; they are pack animals
after all.
She set out to open a facility
that allows dogs to be dogs –– to
romp and play with other fourlegged friends all under the
watchful eyes of caring and experienced doggie counselors.
Dogs are grouped according to
age, size, temperament, and activity level. They need to be up to
date on all their vaccinations and
neutered when of age, and they
must pass their temperament
evaluation test before becoming
a part of the pack. This helps ensure that everyone will have a
good experience at All Good
Dogs.
Lini feels that the benefit of a
doggie daycare is a well socialized and exercised dog that will
come home tired at the end of
the day. Instead of being home
alone, dogs are enjoying their
time with other four-legged
friends, and that is a good thing!
All Good Dogs is the only 24hour supervised facility in the
area and that offers cage-free
boarding. What sets All Good
Dogs apart from its competitors
is that it caters to clients who
don’t want their dogs left alone at
night for long periods of time in
the confined space of a cage,
cabin, or crate. All Good Dogs’
outdoor yard space also sets it
apart from its competitors, with
large large yards and a park-like
setting.
The doggie slumber parties
provide pet parents the peace of
mind of knowing their dog(s) are
getting round-the-clock supervision in a happy, healthy, clean,
and safe environment!
All Good Dogs is a kennel alternative but also provides
grooming, bathing, training, and
in-home pet care if needed. In
the 20-plus years Lini has been
in the pet sitting and day care
business, her first and foremost
Carol Lini of All Good
Dogs Daycare
passion is for the animals. She
has rescued/adopted quite a few
herself and strongly recommends that those looking for a
pet do the same. There are many
perfect pets waiting in shelters
for their perfect families. Our
area’s shelters are working hard
to find homeless pets in waiting
their forever homes. Please
make adoption your first option!
Whether a long-term stay or
just for the day, All Good Dogs
has three facilities in South
Brunswick/Plainsboro,
Lawrenceville, and Cherry Hill,
all conveniently located but away
from busy thoroughfares.

NJAR CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE — SILVER LEVEL 2012
departed for what she terms her
“Californian Adventures.”
Finding a nest in San Francisco,
Mount took up the job of running
the alumni and reunion events for
the Haas School of Business at
Berkeley. While in the Sunshine
State, she fell into the habit of winery touring. “I saw how wineries
out in California and up in Oregon
were being turned into destinations
— places for full-day outings. This
hadn’t quite happened in New Jersey yet, but it seemed like an something we could really adopt.”
After six years, wild oats wellsown, Mount felt the call of the
family farm. “My sister was giving
birth, giving me the opportunity to
be an auntie, and the family had
just bought 67 more acres, and I
wanted to take part in developing
it.” Packing up her two cats and
scant possessions into her Honda
Civic, she and father Gary took the
road trip from ‘Frisco to back
home.
One of Mount’s first changes
was the establishment of the Terhune Vineyard and Winery. It was a
natural. Terhune Orchards already
had worked out the agri-tourism
and retail embellishments of farming. The idea of adding on a public
wine processing and a tasting room
to a vineyard seemed perfectly in
keeping with the Gary and Pam
Mount’s style of farming.
Thus in 2005, the Mount family
planted four-and-a-half acres with
12 varieties of vines, mostly
Cabernet, Chambourcin, and Vidal. Within three years Mount
oversaw the pressing of their first
crop. One of only three female
winemakers in the Garden State,
she remains ever willing to experiment and blend.
In addition to the straight Chambourcin, Chardonnay, and awardwinning Vidal Blanc varietals, Terhune also takes full advantage of its
other crops. Its Apple Wine, Harvest Blues (blueberry and apple),
and Just Peachy (apple and peach)
are all pressed from Terhune orchard fruits.
“This year we’re planting another three-and-a-half acres,” says
Mount. “We want to get a little further into Cabernet Franc, and we
want to grow our own Muscat for
our Cold Soil White and Front
Porch Breeze blends.”
Mount’s grapes have proved an
excellent financial addition to the
central Jersey retail farm. New Jerseyans rank nationally as the number one imbibers of wine, and as
any Garden State vintner can tell
you, growers get more dollars per
acre with grapes than almost any
other crop. “The only thing that
does better per acre for us,” says
Mount, “is our cherries.”
All of Terhune Orchards’ output
is sold directly at its own farm
stores, pick-your-own stands, and
two tailgate markets in which they
participate. This brings Mount an
entirely different set of oversight
challenges than the straight-tomarket farm.
“People buying food want the
one-stop-shop experience, and
they want it all year ‘round,” notes
Mount. She points to the colder
clay and loam soil from which Terhune Orchards’ street takes its
name. This composite naturally
holds off frost and actually benefits
the farm with a longer season, and
a greater crop variety.
To capture all corners of the
farm-fresh shopping cart, Terhune
has expanded from a simple farm
store to include a greenhouse, bakery, pick-your-own fields, and of
course, the winery and tasting
room. Like any good business, the
farm maintains a constant query of
customer demand. Raspberries
were one of the more recent additions which came after many of the
loyal clientele began asking for
them.
“What it all means,” says
Mount, “is that you’ve got to be always on the lookout. You’ve got to
listen to your people and let them
go with new ideas. Terhune’s 22
year-round staff swells to 50 during the pruning and picking
months. With 35 crops, a variety of
livestock, and an amazing array of
public educational programs, none
of Terhune’s workers gets caught
in an unvarying job.
It remains a sad legacy of our
modern, mechanized life that most
people never see, nor barely know
the place their own food is grown or
raised. This is one misfortune that
will not occur to the Mount family.
Shortly after marrying Jim Washburn, who teaches American History in Montgomery schools, Mount
gave birth to son Becket. When not
in pre-school, the lad, as do sister
Reuwai’s three daughters, wanders
among the goats, stables, chickens,
and variety of fields and orchards.
Does being the heir-apparent to
a family-owned business with so
many different aspects and so
much physical labor grind Mount
down? “If anything, it’s the opposite,” she insists. “The variety of
challenges and the physical exercise keeps a person young. And of
course, there’s eating all that good
food.”

or a little lace? Does she wear a boyshort or thong? Knowing her taste in lingerie will set you
on the right track to picking out the perfect gift.
Know her size. It’s okay to do a little snooping! Check her lingerie drawer for two sizes:
a panty size and a bra size. It’s also helpful to know a dress size. Each designer will run a little
differently, but with this information we can help you find just the right thing.
Know where to shop. We also know that women love opening presents, and we believe
in complimentary wrapping to make your gift special.
Give the gift of a perfect fit. Our bra fitting service gets rave reviews, and women love
being treated to the bra wardrobing experience. Pick up a gift card and treat her to a luxurious
fitting experience –– we’ll do the rest!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

tiny greens peak out from under a leaf mulch

The majority is hard-neck garlic, which produces the flowering stalks known as “garlic
scapes.” They taste like garlicky green beans
when lightly sauteed, says Niederer. One of
the beds is devoted to soft-neck garlic, which
is used to make garlic braids in the fall.
The leaf mulch that covers the garlic
keeps the weeds down and during the winter
prevents the extreme frost heave, created by
the alternation between freezes and thaws,
that brings rocks to the surface and could
push the garlic cloves right out of the ground.

hether you are interested in massage simply
for relaxation or to seek
help with muscular issues and
pain relief, the massage therapists at Ancient Arts Healing
Center are fully dedicated to
your health and well-being. “Our
goal is to present the most
knowledgeable and professional
staff in the Central and South
Jersey area,” says Tamara Rapciewicz, who opened the center
in 2010 after five years as a
manager at another large area

“In an age of technical and at

explains.

was labeled the Best Massage
in town in 2012 by the Trentonian.
The classic Swedish massage is the signature massage
at the center, and each of the
five therapists has their own
unique style of combining the
long fluid strokes of traditional
Swedish massage. Sports massage, reflexology, Ohashiatsu,
and other modalities are also
available at the Center.
Headache relief from sinus or
migraines is another specialty at
the center, using cold marble
stones and aromatherapy on the
scalp, face, neck and shoulders.
Upper Body is perfect for anyone with back and neck issues
and deep tissue massage can
help eliminate chronic muscle issues.
The center also offers Myofacial Lumbar/Sacral Release for
deep stretching of the connective tissue surrounding the muscles that cause chronic back
pain and prenatal massage for
mothers-to-be. All of the therapists are experienced in Reiki.
Rapciewicz feels it is important to give back to the community. Ancient Arts Healing Center
participates in a number of special events, including community
days for Fox Chase Cancer
Center. They also work with
Mercer Street Friends and collects gifts for needy families
through an Angel Tree each
Christmas. “Our clients contribute, making it a wonderful
event each year,” she says.

Making a mortgage a
personal experience
W
orking mother of two
and successful business woman, Jennifer
Hayden knows a thing or two
about keeping business local
and focused on her clients.
Starting as a securities-based
lender with Merrill Lynch, the
world’s largest brokerage firm,
more than a decade ago provided the budding entrepreneur
with the experience necessary
to succeed as a loan originator
during one of the toughest economic eras of our time.
Shortly after her son Max was
born, Jennifer made a brave de-
cision to leave her secure position at Merrill Lynch to reprioritize the balance of work and
family life. A short 18 months later, Jennifer and her husband
Max, a local architect, were
blessed with a beautiful baby girl
Caroline.
“My family is everything to
me, and this resonates in the
service I provide to my clients.
Mortgages are a part of life
stages. People don’t necessarily
need a mortgage — they need
what a mortgage can provide in
the sense of home and security.”
In April 2008 Jennifer reentered the workforce as a mortgage loan originator for Gateway
Funding. Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services,
L.P. is a full service mortgage
banker offering a diverse product portfolio. Committed to helping borrowers achieve the
dream of home ownership, Jennifer recognizes the challenges
borrowers face today, and is determined to find the best possible solution to match each
client’s unique financial need.
“Getting a mortgage can be a

name, not by their
loan number, and this

difficult process. I pride myself
on providing the information,
guidance and personalized service clients need to make this important decision. I know my
clients by name, not by their loan
U.S. 1
number, and this is what sets me
apart from large impersonal
lenders.”
Lending is an intimate experience mandating the utmost level
of trust between the customer
and the lender. In Jennifer’s experience she has found that
lending works best on a local
level and with institutions that
operate within the confines of a
brick and mortar storefront. The
Princeton, NJ, Gateway Funding
branch has provided this opportunity showcasing Jennifer’s expertise in offering mortgage
services, debt consolidation, refinance, and a variety of other
lending services while allowing
her to serve those in the community she lives in and loves on a
personal level.
The moment a mortgage
stops being seen as a cost, and
is seen as an investment, is the
very moment the client realizes
the value in the purchase. At its
core, a mortgage is an investment opportunity. In fact, it’s an
investment the purchaser controls. Mortgages can be effectively tailored to lifestyle, and
customized to achieve very specific goals. It’s an opportunity to
strengthen financial position,
grow value, save money, and
make money. Whether it’s a first
home, new construction, refinance or that dream house —
think it through with Jennifer and
Gateway, a lender you can trust.

Chocolate Lovers Club
Giving local artisans a venue
M
ore and more women are leaving
the corporate world to start their
own businesses.
Some turn hobbies into careers while
others persue passions long forgotten.
Some stumble upon opportunities or perhaps a combination of all of the above.
This was the case for Joanne Reilly,
corporate alumna, intrepid entrepreneur,
dreamer, believer, hard worker.
Several years into the chocolate business Joanne has opened her dream location.
Chocolate Lovers of Princeton is located on Route 206 next to Lucy’s Ravioli.
The store boasts a chocolate shop,classroom and event space as well a chocolate
kitchen facility where various craftspeople
make their own creations. This includes a
baker, confectioners, and a bean to bar
chocolate maker. Each artisan creates
products for sale in the chocolate shop.
Joanne herself is still involved in chocolate making with her product line called
Dip’t in Chocolate.
Joanne admits that this has been a long
and winding road. Or perhaps maybe a
staircase that had to be climbed. After an
initial stumble with a partner in a mail order bakery business, Joanne found herself having to scramble to reinvent the
baking business into a chocolate business. The first rung was being part of a retail co op selling chocolates at retail.
The second rung was buying chocolate
equipment and making her own chocolate. The third rung was opening a full time
retail store with capabilities for small gatherings. The fourth rung was an event
space with a full chocolate kitchen, and
the fifth rung is the current space which
has allowed for another business expansion.
This is the model she was motivated to
make happen after she visited Mast Bros
chocolate in Brooklyn. The chocolate is
made on site and customers can take
tours of the facility.
Now that this is a reality, Joanne wants
chocolate lovers to partake in the full
chocolate experience. Chocolate Lovers
also features fine chocolate from other
craft chocolate makers from around the
country. Each month a “meet-the-maker”
event is planned so chocolate makers can
greet the customers who support them.
An event schedule will be posted to the
new Chocolate Lovers website shortly.
Now that Valentine’s Day is approaching the team is gearing up for the biggest
of Chocolate Holidays. People have always relied on chocolate as a romantic
gift, and now that chocolate has been
touted as a healthy alternative to other
sweets, there is even more reason to give
the gift of chocolate. Chocolate Lovers
features chocolate that has not been commercially processed, nothing artificial is
ever added, and customers can find, sugar free, nut free, soy free, dairy free, and
gluten free chocolates in the shop. Gift
certificates for tastings and chocolate
making classes are available. And Chocolate Lovers offers shipping and local delivery for all their products.
Customers often comment to Joanne
that she has the best job in the world, and
there aren’t many days when she can disagree with that. Would she do it over
again? Yes, only sooner.

Red Wolf Design
Fall in love with your
company again
C
oncerned with starting or growing
your business? Here is some
good advice from Lynne Wildenboer, president and founder of Red Wolf
Design in Princeton. She says, “Your logo, website, signage and advertising are
the first things your prospective client
sees.” You need to ask yourself:
What image are you projecting or
do you need to project?
When you look at your logo does it
seem dated? Is the name confusing or is
your tagline no longer a reflection of the
products or services you provide?
Are you starting a company?
Are you planning on designing your logo, website, signage, and advertising by
yourself or relying on a family member or
friend to do it? Be careful, because what
seems like a fabulous, cost-effective solution may in fact end up costing you
more in time and money in the long run.
And it is hard to tell a friend or family
member that you don’t like what they created or that they are taking too long. And
some entrepreneurs think that they will
just design something themselves to get
started and eventually have a professional redo it. Most often, “eventually”
never comes, and the initial image their
firm projects is not professional looking.
Why your logo and website matter.
People judge companies by the image
they project. We work with startups all
the time, helping them name their companies and products, designing their
packaging, creating logos and websites,
and developing their marketing strategy.
So whether you are a small start-up, or
have been in business for years and
have a solid reputation, we can help.
Lynne started Red Wolf Design over
30 years ago and has an MBA with a fo-
cus on marketing and finance. This
means not only does she bring years of
creative experience to each client she
works with, she also understands ROI
and where to best invest your marketing
dollars.
Helping our own clients update
their brand.
“What we find is that even our existing
clients often need to rebrand themselves, by updating their websites and
taking time to reexamine their marketing
goals and strategy. For example, one of
our clients who is a builder and does impeccable work had us create his website
years ago. Now, when we look at the site
we know that we need to update it based
on the economy as well as who his target
audience is today, considering their attention span, what they value, their budget levels, and the type of work they would
be most interested in,” Lynne explained.
“We also realized that today our client
has three distinct target audiences that
we need to reach. From this perspective
we knew that the navigational tabs needed to be changed, the copy rewritten to
focus more on the benefits of using his
company, the photos needed to be updated, and even the contact page needed to provide a vehicle for sending him Emails,” Lynne continued.
Owners can really benefit by working
with Red Wolf because once an owner
realizes who their real prospects are today; how to better nurture their current
clients and re-establish contact with past
clients, they get excited about growing
their business more strategically. “Working with company owners in this capacity
is really rewarding, because since they
are generally too busy working, they

and Pursance, and existing companies Libelulua Productions and
OT Consulting Group.
don’t make the time to step back and
brainstorm with a marketing expert who
can give them a new perspective on how
to make their company more profitable.
Exploring new ideas with successful
company owners is akin to giving someone a roadmap heading them in a different direction — a direction which makes
more sense, based on our economy and
changing demographics.
Working with startup companies is
even more fun. Owners really appreciate
the power of having a professionally designed logo when they see how friends
and family react when they see their
business cards for the very first time.
Clients come back smiling with a new
sense of confidence just because people
now know that they have started a real
business.

Donna Reilly
Tailoring the real estate
experience to suit you
I
won’t sell you a house that’s
not right for you. I’m not a
salesperson, I’m a consultant,” says realtor Donna Reilly. “I
help my clients by giving them information and advice, not a sales
pitch,” she adds. Reilly has been
an agent with Weichert Realtors
for the past 10 years. Her philosophy makes all the difference to
her clients.
With years of experience in
the West Windsor-area market,
Reilly uses her skills to help you
— whether you’re selling a
house or buying one. She sets
her standards high, and she gets
results.
“I understand how technology
has changed real estate,” Reilly
says. “There’s no shortage of information now.” The challenge
isn’t getting information. It is how
to understand it and what to do
with it: Which information is relevant. Which is accurate. What it
means. Why it’s valuable. And
how it can help you sell and buy
houses in a market that seems
more confusing than ever.
Reilly knows information is
valuable only when it’s relevant
to the people involved and the
transaction at hand. In other
words, she knows its value is determined by its value to you.
That’s why she educates you: so
you can make informed deci-
sions every step of the way,
whether you’re buying a new
home or selling your current one.
There’s more to real estate
than the real estate.
Reilly’s skills serve both sellers and buyers, and the most important of all is knowing the market. She knows when every new
house hits the market — and
which of her clients want to know
about it. And she knows how to
price and prepare a house for today’s buyers. “I understand the
realities of the market,” she says.
“I understand the psychology of
the market. And I understand
how to market.” All three can determine the difference between
selling your house and having it
linger on the market, between
moving into your new home and
losing the one you want.
She starts by listening and
senses instinctively when her
clients have found the right
house. “I love seeing that look on
their face,” she says. “It’s a look
that says ‘I’m home.’”
Reilly helps sellers understand that buyers are attracted to
location and presentation — and
she knows how to close the deal.
“I love putting deals together,”
she says. “But you have to be
able to cultivate and preserve relationships, too. Everybody’s got
to feel like they got a fair deal. In
the end, that’s my job.”
Whether you’re a seller or a

Stephanie keeps that vision front

W
hen it comes to choosing a bank, many consumers are realizing
that bigger doesn’t necessarily
mean better. Now more than
ever, people want to know their
money will be safe and sound no
matter what happens in the global financial market. Smaller community banks like First Choice
Bank are answering the call by
offering personalized, convenient, reliable services their customers can trust.
Jackie Dunn, branch manager
at First Choice Bank’s Kingston
location, has a unique perspective on the trend toward community banking. After working for a
large national bank, she accepted a teller position at First
Choice Bank’s original Lawrenceville branch in 2007 and immediately noticed a difference.
“The president of the bank actually got to know me when I started. I felt like a person, not just a
number — and that’s exactly
how we treat our customers,”
says Dunn. “Most big banks never take the time to understand
the needs and goals of the people they serve. At First Choice
Bank, we’re all about building relationships, not just making
transactions.”
During her six years with First
Choice Bank, Dunn has built relationships with her customers in
a variety of roles; first as a teller,
then as a personal banker at the
Robbinsville location, and now
as the Kingston branch manager.
“Honestly, I can’t see myself anywhere else. I enjoy coming to
work every day and love getting
to know the customers I serve.

where a consumer financially commits to
a season of produce in advance of the

1991 as Watershed Organic
Farm, Kinsel’s was the first CSA
in NJ operated on certified organic land.
In 1997 Kinsel was just beginning to turn a profit and exploring
ways to become more profitable.
He knew that in order to increase
the number of members he could
serve, he needed to increase the
acreage he was farming. Dudas’s unique work experience
turned out to be exactly what
Kinsel needed at that critical
time, as she had years of conservation and farmland preservation
experience, having worked for
Rutgers’ Gardens, the Delaware
& Raritan Greenway, Green
Acres and the NJ Farmland
Preservation Program, where
she administered the Right to
Farm and Farm Link programs,
and had experience matching
farmers with available farmland.
After several years of searching for farmland to acquire to expand the CSA program, the couple (who were married in 2007)
purchased two permanently preserved farms in Chesterfield
Township, where they now live.
“The most rewarding aspect
of my job is connecting people
with the land that nourishes their
bodies and souls. We often hear
from our members that their
weekly farm visits are a treasured time where they can unwind, meet up with friends or
family, or use the farm as an outdoor classroom for their children. We are grateful to be able
to offer them an opportunity to
get fabulous locally grown organic produce at an affordable
price and to encourage them to
think of the farms as a respite
from their otherwise harried
lives,” Dudas remarked. “I also
love introducing new members
to the produce we’ve become
renowned for, like our richly flavored heirloom tomatoes.”
Now known as Honey Brook
Organic Farm, its members can
pick up fresh produce from farm
locations in Pennington and
Chesterfield, and they also deliver pre-boxed shares of produce
to 32 communities throughout
NJ and eastern PA. Check out

Kathy. Catered lunch can include hot and cold items, the
paninis, which the restaurant is
so well-known for, and fresh salads, vegetarian and gluten-free
items, and of course, dessert. All
of the meals are made fresh at
the cafe. “We don’t serve frozen
food and we don’t take shortcuts. We use the freshest ingredients, and always shop locally
for in-season ingredients,” she
adds.

The Massage
Garden
Customized session for
each person’s needs
L
aura Fusco, Rose Ford,
and their staff at The Massage Garden in Hamilton
offer customized massage sessions based on the needs of the
client. Each of the massage ther-
apists at The Massage Garden
specializes in different types of
therapeutic massage: massage
designed to relieve pain associated with chronic and acute conditions.
“Of course there is also a relaxation element to every massage we give. That is an important part of massage,” says coowner Rose Ford. The Massage
Garden offers results-oriented
bodywork. Whether you want relief from TMJ, sciatica, carpal
tunnel syndrome, aching shoulders, headaches, or if you need
to de-stress and relax, each session is unique.
The Massage Garden uses
high quality, hypo-allergenic
creams and non-mineral oils.
Only soy candles are burned in
the office, and tables are heated.
“In short, we strive to provide our
clients with a quality experience
from start to finish,” says Rose,
who has been practicing massage since 1997. Ford specializes in Integrative, Deep Tissue,
Pre-Natal, and other massages,
as well as Ashiatsu Oriental Bar
Therapy. In this type of massage
the therapist, supported by parallel bars, uses her feet to give a
deep muscle massage “that
helps to release trigger points by
elongating fascia, or connective
tissue.”
Her business partner, Laura,
has also been practicing since
1997. She provides an integrative session incorporating various therapeutic modalities. She
specializes in CranioSacral
Therapy, NeuroMuscular Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage,
Myofascial Release and LomiLomi. Each of the other four massage therapists at The Massage
Garden has been practicing for
at least 10 years.
For Valentine’s Day The Massage Garden also offers Couples
Massage as well as a Couples
Massage Lesson, where the partners learn basic relaxation massage. The Massage Garden also
offers a senior citizen discount.

Montgomery
Eye Care
Focused on putting
an end to AMD
E
very day ten thousand
Americans turn 65, and as
many of them know by
now, getting older means keeping a closer eye on their health
— especially their eye health.
A leading cause of vision loss
in North America in people over
50 is Age Related Macular Degeneration, or AMD. AMD is a
medical condition that results in
loss of vision in the center of the
visual field, also known as the
macula. Damage to the retina is
to blame.
Dr. Mary Boname, of Montgomery Eye Care, knows AMD
well. She sees it in her patients
all the time.
“People who have AMD can
struggle with such essential
functions as reading or recognizing faces,” Dr. Boname said. “Patients rely on their peripheral vision to get through the day.”
As the population ages, Dr.
Boname says, AMD is reaching
epidemic proportions. Some
sources report as many as
210,000 new cases each year in
the U.S. One reason for the epidemic is the cause, which is literally all around us: it’s light.
Ultraviolet light, which is not
visible to the human eye, can
cause damage to our skin or the
surface of the eye, but UV doesn’t reach the retina. The cornea
and lens, which are susceptible
to UV damage, blocks the rays,
so only visible light reaches the
retina. Most people think that visible light is harmless, but there is
an exception. Blue light, which
when it reaches the retina, can
cause oxidative damage.
Blue light is the portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum that is
visible to the human eye as the
color blue. One needs look no
further than the sky on a sunny
day to see it. But there’s an insidious new hazard, and it’s growing every day, says Dr. Boname.
Fluorescent lights, which are
more common than ever, emit

high levels of blue light, and
thanks to modern televisions,
computer screens and phones,
they are all around us. Over time,
exposure to blue light causes oxidation in the retinas of unsuspecting adults.
“People ask me, ‘What does
that mean, oxidative damage?’”
Dr. Boname says. “Think of it as
rust. What oxidation does to a
car bumper –– that’s what’s happening to the retina of someone
with AMD.”
When consulting with patients
on AMD, Dr. Boname goes over
the known risk factors to assess
how likely they may be to suffer
from AMD. Some are genetic or
hereditary: if your parents or siblings have it, for example, you
are more likely to get it. It affects
Caucasians more than other
races, and also affects people
more who have shown a sensitivity to light.
However, as Dr. Boname
notes, there are also many causContinued on page 22

es of AMD that are within her patients’ control. Among them are
smoking, diet, and exposure to
the sun.
“Studies have shown that
smoking triples the risk of AMD,”
Dr. Boname says. “But a diet
lacking in fruits and green vegetables, or spending an excessive amount of time outside, especially without sunglasses, is
also to blame.”
Dr. Boname said patients over
the age of 35 should be cognizant of the risks and symptoms
of AMD. Some 10 percent of
Americans over the age of 50
show symptoms of AMD. For patients over 75, the rate increases
to 30 percent.
“Our goal is education and
prevention –– to keep our patients from ever having AMD,”
she said. “But if we start treatment early enough, we can help
those with AMD maintain a quality of life through therapy and
drugs even once the process has
started. People don’t need to suffer.”

patients comprehensive eye

Stark & Stark
Advocating for
women in law
C
ommunity involvement is
a pillar of Stark & Stark’s
philosophy. Our firm
strives to give back to the community we live and work in, and
each of our attorneys are encouraged to become involved
with charitable organizations
with whose mission they identify.
As a result, our firm has continually helped to raise money and
build strong connections with
over 260 local, regional, and national organizations and charitable foundations.
A byproduct of the firm’s community involvement has been the
creation of Stark & Stark’s
Women’s Initiative. The
Women’s Initiative, led by our female senior Shareholders, currently has more than 30 women
attorney members helping to advance the law firm’s diversity in
what is sometimes perceived as
a male-dominated industry. This
office community not only helps
to promote female advancement
and aid in their professional development, but also strives to
FEBRUARY 6, 2013
create and sustain programs that
benefit the firm as a whole and
our local community. The female
senior shareholders serve as
mentors and role models to
many of the younger women attorneys, by providing guidance
and support.
Stark & Stark’s Women’s Initiative promotes the importance
of community involvement, and it
is through the dedication to and
support of our women attorneys
that the firm has helped numerous community and charitable
organizations focused on helping
women and children.
One organization in particular
is Dress For Success, a nonprofit organization that promotes
the economic independence of
disadvantaged women, providing professional apparel, a support network and career development tools to help women thrive
in and out of a work environment.
Another organization with
which members of the Women’s
Initiative are involved is Kidsbridge, whose mission is to disseminate the message of antibullying, non-violence, tolerance
and diversity appreciation to
youth, families and teachers. Additionally, our female attorneys
are involved with the Mercer
County Women’s Law Caucus,
the Capital Health Women in
Philanthropy, the Women in
Business Committee of the Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Girl Scouts of
Central and Southern New Jersey.
Stark & Stark continually
seeks opportunities to evolve by
encouraging and promoting new
ideas and input from our women
lawyers through regular meetings. The Women’s Initiative has
provided an environment for
great women to accomplish
great things, both within the community and within their professional careers.

Terhune Orchards
Meet Tannwen Mount
T
annwen Mount returned to
her family farm, Terhune
Orchards, in 2003. The
Mount Family has owned and
operated Terhune Orchards
since 1975. The farm, located in
Lawrenceville, includes 200
acres of preserved farmland producing more than 35 varieties of
fruits and vegetables. Following
six years on the west coast after
graduating from Princeton University, Tannwen made the decision to return to New Jersey and
play an active role in the future
growth of Terhune Orchards.
When Tannwen returned to
Lawrence to work on the farm in
2003, she suggested putting
some of the farm’s land to use
as a vineyard. Purchasing additional farm land upon her return
gave the Mounts the opportunity
for new ventures. She had the
idea for the winery when she
was working at the University of
California, Berkeley. Living in
San Francisco, not far from the
famed wine-growing regions of
the Napa and Sonoma Valleys,
gave her the opportunity to explore wineries and tasting wines
reminded her of her farming
root, teaching her what she liked
in wine. Known for their apples,
peaches, berries and field crops,
the Mounts had no background
in the field of growing wine
grapes, but they successfully
applied their years of farming experience to growing grapes.
Since that first year, the wines
from Terhune Orchards have received state awards and recognition. Terhune Orchards Vineyard and Winery now offers 12
wines and the Mounts now have
eight acres of grapes. The wines
please a wide range of tastes
and desires. In addition to these
grape wines, the winery reaches
back to its farming roots to produce three apple based wines.
While Tannwen oversees the
operations of the winery and
tasting room, she has also expanded programs on the farm.
At Terhune Orchards, children
are invited to learn about where
food comes from through fun,
hands-on educational programs.
Pre-school children experience
the farm through Read & Explore in winter, and Read & Pick
during the growing season.
Thousands of school age children learn about NJ agriculture
during school tour programs.
Farm summer camps offer children an inside view to life on the
farm. Tannwen has expanded
Terhune Orchards community
partnerships, selling fresh produce to local schools and
restaurants.
Welcoming the public to the
farm is part of what makes Terhune Orchards a special place.
Pick-Your-Own is a big part of
public participation on the farm
from spring strawberries to fall
pumpkins and apples. Terhune
Orchards farm festivals have become a large part of the public
face of the farm –– celebrating
farm activities from kite flying in
May to apple harvest during the
month of October. Tannwen facilitates the staff, day to day ac-
tivities, and festivals. Tannwen
manages hundreds of “Barnyard
Birthday Parties.” These memorable celebrations are enjoyed
by the whole family and their
guests. Tannwen is an integral
part of the management team at
Terhune Orchards, which now
employees more than 30 retail
and farm workers and hosts half
a million visitors a year.
Terhune Orchards welcomes
visitors year-round to enjoy its
farm store, winery, multiple festivals and pick-your-own and educational opportunities.

The Adolescent (Teen) Mouth
dolescents may face oral
health problems which require them to visit a dentist
or other healthcare professional.
Irregular teeth growth is a common problem and adolescents
with braces are a common sight.
Another problem is wisdom teeth
extraction or the removal of the
third molar. Dental cavities are yet
another common problem in adolescents. On occasion of Children's Dental Health Month we
want to help you understand
these oral health issues better.
Orthodontics is a specialty in
dentistry which deals with correction, development and prevention
of irregular teeth, jaw and bite. If a
general dentist sees these abnormalities in the adolescent, he/she
will refer the patient to an orthodontist. The American Dental Association suggests that every
adolescent above the age of seven should get an orthodontic evaluation done. Problems which require orthodontic treatment are
crowded or crooked teeth, extra
teeth, missing teeth, under-bite,
overbite, jaw joint disorder, and
incorrect or misaligned jaw position.
When adolescents wear
braces they have to take precautions in order to avoid any more
oral health complications. The
most important precautionary
measure is to brush the teeth regularly after every meal. Since the
food can be easily lodged in
braces, it is a good idea to brush
carefully with soft bristles toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste and
floss as often as possible. Food
stuffs which are sticky or hard like
caramel, chewy candy, popcorn,
and nuts should be avoided as
they are difficult to remove and a
cleaning must be done by the hygienist or general dentist, every
three to six months.
Wisdom teeth or third molars
can grow usually from age fifteen
to twenty five. These teeth can
cause problem, because most of
mouths are too small to accommodate them. If the wisdom tooth
has a place to grow, without affecting other teeth, they can be
left to themselves. But if the adolescent experiences pain, facial
swelling, mouth infection, and
gum-line swelling, then they
should be extracted immediately.
They can also destroy the second
molars and affect other teeth. A
general dentist or an oral surgeon
can perform wisdom tooth surgery in the office using local anesthesia or sedation.
Tooth decay (cavities) is also
five times more common in adolescents than asthma. Dietary
sugar and mouth bacteria form an
acid which eats away minerals
within the tooth, forming a cavity.
The biggest prevention against
cavities is brushing teeth twice a
day and even better, after every
meal with fluoride toothpaste and
a soft bristle toothbrush. Carbonated drinks and sugary food must
be avoided. Intake of fluoridated
water also helps a lot or fluoride
supplements can be used as a replacement.
While dental cavities only affect the tooth, periodontal or gum
disease is devastating, affecting
the bones and gums that surround the tooth. A dentist specializing in the treatment of periodontal disease is known as a Periodontist. The disease should not
be taken lightly and if it's left untreated it can spread and affect
the bones under the teeth which
eventually making the teeth loose
and fall out. According to statistics
plaque buildup is the main cause
of gum related diseases. Other
possible causes include: Genetics, poor oral hygiene, food getting stuck too frequently in the
gums, mouth breathing, low nutrient or vitamin C-deficient diet,
smoking, diabetes, autoimmune/systemic disease, changes
in hormone levels, certain medications and constant teeth grinding.
According to statistics nearly
66 percent of the young adult
population suffers from periodontal disease. There are various
symptoms, and it could differ from
one adolescent to the other which
may include swollen, tender, and
red gums; bleeding of gums during brushing or flossing, receding
gums; constant odorous breath;
loose teeth and change in alignment of jaw and bite. Periodontal
disease can be diagnosed after
reviewing the complete medical
Dr. Janhavi Rane, DDS
history, physical examination of
the teenager's mouth and x-rays.
The treatment usually involves
plaque removal, medication and
in worse cases a surgery.
At Rane's Dental Offices we
have three General Dentists, an
Orthodontist, a Periodontist and
an Oral Surgeon in house to deal
with all of the above adolescent
oral health issues and more.

Three Meals a Day the Authentic Mexican Way
B
right and cheerful, the ambiance at A Taste of Mexico transports you to an oasis south of the border. Felipe
Cruz, the owner, smiles as he
goes from table to table greeting
the regular lunch crowd that fills
the space, spilling onto the patio
when weather permits. The
friendly atmosphere, attentive
service, and authentic fare draw
diners to all three of his locations: 180 Nassau Street in
Princeton, Princeton Shopping
Center on Harrison Street, and
El Oaxaqueno #2 at 260 Drift
Street in New Brunswick.
Dinner entrees range in price
from $6.99 to $10.99 and include
traditional Mexican favorites like
tamales, enchiladas, marinated
pork, and flautas. His mole
sauce (a rare find on many Mexican menus) is a special recipe
with more than 40 ingredients including chocolate, raisins, a variety of peppers, and more. In addition to being tasty, most of the
dishes are steamed and grilled
with only the flautas and chips
deep-fried in vegetable oil. Many
low-fat platters such as grilled
quesadillas, shrimp, chicken,
steak and a selection of salads
may be found on the menu.
Ditch the bagels and pancakes and wake up with a hot
Felipe Cruz and Leslie Paredes
breakfast of Huevos Ranchero
(fried eggs with black beans and
ranchero salsa topped with fresh
cheese) and flour tortillas. The
Spanish Continental, with fried
eggs, black beans, and tomato
salsa, topped with fresh cheese,
is another tasty option and
comes with Fried plaintains and
flour tortillas.
Or take a break in the middle
of a busy day and fuel up for the
afternoon by taking advantage of
the restaurant's $7.99 lunch special, which is available until 3

to, two tacos, two tostadas, or
two enchiladas comes with rice,

Whichever meal you decide to
have at Taste of Mexico, you
can't go wrong. The attention to
authentic detail, healthy cooking,
and pleasing presentation will
surely make it a memorable dining experience.

Artist Algava Connects to the Dance of Life
P
by Ilene Dube
riscilla Snow Algava’s studio
may be in the most enviable spot for an artist
in Princeton. Her large glass windows look
out on Witherspoon Street and the former
Lahiere’s building, and from her perch she
draws and paints the bustling downtown life.
If she gets restless, she can walk down 20
steps to Small World Coffee, where she often
sits and sips and draws patrons.
With a mane of wavy black hair, the retired South Brunswick High School art specialist is often seen at regional gallery openings. She usually wears a necklace of large
gemstones, each with a story. At an exhibit of
HomeFront’s ArtSpace group at the West
Windsor Arts Center last year, Algava wore a
favorite necklace from a trip to Greece.
When one of the artists admired it, she unclasped it from her own neck and gave it to
the artist. Such is Algava’s spirit of generosity.
Not surprising to anyone who has seen her
canvases, Algava loves color, and her clothing lets you know that. On this particular day
she is wearing three different purples, not to
mention the carved purple goddess face in an
amulet around her neck. The studio is aromatic, like an herbal infusion, but Algava,
who is getting over a cold, says it is the essential oils she has been using for healing.
In December, Algava opened her studio
for a two-day sale, including the work of
three other Princeton artists. She has only
been in the space since August but finds it
ideal for its light, views, and visibility: a
sandwich board sign out front generated lots
of traffic, and sales.
It is both a working studio — there are
Small World paper cups filled with pigment,
and cans of brushes line the windowsills —
as well as a showroom, with many works of
art lining the walls. This is Algava’s world —
from figures in motion to old ladies sitting on
a stoop in Greece, talking about their lives
and the old days. “We barely spoke each other’s language, but we all related to one another,” she recounts of the time she discovered
them. “We’re all citizens of the world who
need to take responsibility for one another.”
On the floor, stacks of her framed artwork,
wrapped in bubble wrap, are ready to be
shipped off to the Marguerite & James
Hutchins Gallery at the Lawrenceville
School for “Life Dance: A Retrospective,
Priscilla Snow Algava,” from Thursday,
February 7, through Thursday, February 28.
It is a busy time for Algava, who had a solo show at the Plainsboro Library this past
fall and has been teaching drawing and painting at the West Windsor Arts Center, watercolor at the YWCA Princeton, privately in
her studio, and leading two-day workshops
in clay monoprinting every few months.
A recent workshop in West Windsor was
so popular that she had to turn three students
away. Those who were lucky enough to get
in were observed being absorbed in the play
of the work, pouring pigment onto slabs of
wet clay, mixing in slip, adding texture, then
rolling it out onto a treated surface. Finished
prints lay drying all over the classroom.
“Everyone can succeed and everyone
comes away with four to five pieces of artwork,” says Algava. Indeed her workshops
have repeat offenders. “There’s always a
new technique to learn, and students learn so
much from watching each other work.”
Algava’s retirement from public school
teaching came unexpectedly. She had
walked into the hallway at an unfortunate
moment when two students were breaking
into a fight. Algava found herself in the middle, fell, and injured her hip. After more than
a year on disability — she couldn’t stand or
carry heavy things — she retired, but despite
being in pain and visits to physical therapists
and osteopaths, she has filled her life with
joyful projects.
In 2007 Algava received a Dodge Foundation grant. She allocated the $2,000 given to
the school to develop a community Mirror
Mural, in which each student was given a
four-inch mirror to create a representation of
who they are. They could use stencil, writing
or drawing to create the wall of 1,000 mirrors.
“I think everyone is an artist,” says Algava, who was moved by Ik-Joong Kang’s
“Happy World” mural at the Princeton Public Library, a community-produced artwork.
For Mirror Mural, “The artist makes the tile,
viewers sees themselves while connecting to
the artist, and reflect on who they are inside.”
With the additional $5,000 from the
Dodge Foundation allocated to the artist for
professional development, she went to
Greece and did monoprinting and painting in
Santorini, Paros, and Thesaloniki. “I love
Greece, the Aegian light and air, the people
and the colors and the smells — it’s magical,
particularly the islands.”
Algava first discovered clay monoprinting at Phillips Mill 20 years ago. She researched Mitch Lyons, a pioneer of the form,
and took workshops with him. Eventually
she began teaching with Lyons at West
Windsor Arts Center and in Kingston.
Growing up in the Bronx and Yonkers,
Priscilla Snow was originally Priscilla Snofsky. “My Uncle Charlie was in the police
force and was told he wouldn’t get anywhere
with the name Snofsky, so when I was 10 my
grandmother had the whole family change
our name.”
Her mother was a secretary — “she was an
incredible typist and a fabulous speller” —
who had only finished eighth grade but performed piano in Carnegie Hall as a child and
continued to play throughout life, into her
mid-90s. Her father was an entrepreneur
whose final business was a travel agency on
Fifth Avenue, which enabled Priscilla to pursue her travel ambitions.

Studies in Color: Paintings by Priscilla Snow Algava, pictured
on opposite page, include ‘Dancing in the Light,’ opposite left;
‘Angels Among Us,’ opposite bottom; ‘Letting Go,’ above; and
‘Inner Listening,’ at right. A retrospective of her work opens on
Thursday, February 7, at the Lawrenceville School.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in English
and education at Cornell in 1961. In 1966,
while teaching English as a second language
in Argentina — Algava speaks French, Spanish, and German — she found Jorge Hale, a
British painter, who taught her to paint realistically.
When she returned to the U.S., teaching
English in Binghamton, New York, she
earned graduate credits at SUNY Binghamton to certify as an art teacher. She completed her master’s degree at DePauw University.
She moved to Frankfurt with her first husband, from whom she took the name Algava
— his ancestors were Sephardic Jews expelled to Greece from Spain. He had a project for IBM in Frankfurt in the early 1970s,
and when their daughters, Lisa and Tara,
were born, Priscilla became involved with an
art group showing and selling all over Frankfurt. It was the first time she could indulge in
her artwork full time.
The English teacher in her emerges as she
uses words and text as design elements.
While all of the above experiences helped
to shape the artist, New Jersey painter and il-
lustrator Jacob Landau was a big influence
on Algava. The two worked on a book on
teaching and the humanities. “We need to
take care of each other and the planet, and art
is a vehicle for that. Unfortunately he died
before the book was finished,” says Algava,
who still has the notes and uses the word
fragments in her art.
Landau taught Algava “how important it
is to be passionate in making art, and how
important the human being is as a subject.
There’s a dialogue between the artist and the
viewer and the work, a circle of reflection,”
she says. “Each viewer brings something,
sees something different, and that’s OK —
that visceral response from a viewer makes
art a vehicle for change.”
So how did Algava, who trained as a realist, evolve her playful abstracted style? “I
love to take photos, and so it was no longer
satisfying to paint realistically when a photograph can do that. Copying reality is not
enough. What’s most important is an expressive style like Rico Lebrun or Matisse. I’m
moved by seeing the artist’s hand.”
Painting is a dance for Algava. “I feel like
I’m dancing with a brush. I don’t start with a
plan. I’m intuitive — I don’t do a lot of thinking. I never feel ‘block,’ but I’m a fountain
with so much to say and draw. I’m celebrating life and our circles of connection.”
Dance is also her subject. “I have been
drawing dancers since my kids were little,
and at rehearsals and ballet lessons I loved
the discipline and rigor, how people would
express themselves with their bodies.” Algava has her own private alchemy, mixing
shampoo and cleansers into ink and oil pastel, causing them to behave with minds of
their own — and often taking the shape of
dancers.
After the interview, we descend the stairs
to Small World — who can resist the aroma

SHOTS FROM CANNON GREEN
T
hough the first foliage has yet to
appear, spring has already arrived on the
Princeton campus, at least in name (and
reading assignments). This past Monday,
February 4, opened the spring semester and
heralded a variety of new events and activities for the community to investigate. From
an ambitious staging of a sweeping musical
to a gala celebrating the most prized tradition
in Chinese culture to a discussion of honey
bees, the coming weeks promise events that
promise to inspire reflection, debate or pure
enjoyment — often simultaneously.
What follows is a small sampling of upcoming events on the Princeton University
campus. For a complete schedule, visit
www.princeton.edu/events. Events are free
unless otherwise noted. A campus map is
available online at etcweb.princeton.edu/pumap.
Thursday and Friday, February 7 and
8, 8 to 10 p.m., and Saturday, February 9,
2 to 4 p.m., Black Arts Company (BAC)
presents “Aida.”
Princeton University’s BAC is a studentrun organization intent on bringing to life the
cultural experiences of Africans across the
globe and sharing those experiences with the
Princeton community through artistic performances. BAC: Drama, one wing of the
group, is offering the Tony award-winning
musical “Aida,” demonstrating the group’s
commitment to cultural awareness on a
grand scale, indeed.
Based on Giuseppe Verdi’s constantly
performed 1871 grand opera of the same
name, “Aida” — set in ancient Egypt and
touching on the themes of love, treachery,
and the struggle of competing loyalties —
has been has been resurrected as a Broadway
musical, with Elton John as composer. With
over 70 participants, BAC Drama promises
to hold nothing back with its newest production.

Performances at the Frist Campus Center’s Film & Performance Theater, Frist 301.
Tickets $7 for students, $9 for the general
public, may be purchased by calling 609258-9220 or visiting www.princeton.edu/utickets.
Monday, February 11, 4:30 p.m., A
highlight seminar: Maureen McCann on the
Future of Energy-Biofuels.
Wherever you may live, the discovery of
new energy sources will determine how you
will live in the near future. McCann, professor of molecular biology at Purdue University and director of Purdue’s Energy Center,
has dedicated much research to just how alternative energy forms — biofuels in particular — can move from theory to reality. McCann’s own area of expertise involves the
molecular workings of plant cell walls.
This lecture, titled “A Roadmap for Selective Deconstruction of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Advanced Biofuels and Useful CoProducts,” may sound abstruse, but it is not.
“Lignocellulosic biomass” is simply the biological material that makes up the cell walls
in plants.
Thanks to the research of McCann and a
multidisciplinary group of scientists, plant
cell walls could become a viable candidate
for a sustainable source of energy, and this
means less reliance on oil, and more support
for rural economies. McCann’s lecture establishes a blueprint for — and will give a
glimpse of — the next generation of energy
sources.
Sponsored by the Andlinger Center for
Energy and the Environment, Computer Science 104. Call 609-258-4899 for details.
Friday, February 15, 7 to 10 p.m., The
Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Princeton University (ACSSPU) presents a Chinese New Year Celebration: The
Spring Festival Gala.
The Chinese New Year is one of the oldest
and most important Chinese holidays.
Though many may know of this spring festival through the association between animals
and Chinese years (2013 will be the Year of
the Snake), it denotes much more. ACSSPU’s Zhuo Wang explains that the holiday
is a family affair, an occasion for reunion that
is comparable to Thanksgiving.
The ACSSPU will capture the spirit of the
festival with its annual gala, and students,
staff, faculty and members of the community
are invited to join in the merrymaking.
Sponsored by Princeton University and
the Consulate of China. Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall. For more information about the festival or the ACSSPU, Email [email protected].
Friday, February 22, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.,
the Princeton BEE Team Presents “Apian
Academics.”
Members of the University community
pursue a variety of interests from dancing to
choir to . . . beekeeping? The interest in beekeeping is stronger than one might suspect.
Princeton’s BEE team boasts more than 250
members and two healthy hives in a bee yard
next to the West Windsor field on Washington Road. The team is eager to promote the
art of beekeeping with classes, lectures, and
hands-on apian events.
“Apian Academics” will be a panel discussion among three specialists on bee research. Among the topics are the intricacies
of queen bee mating and the behavior of honey bees. Bees hibernate in the winter months,
so the stirrings of the BEE Team are also an
unofficial prologue to the hive activity sure
to unfold in the coming months.

UESTION: Can someone
really “fall in love”? Each
time the chemistry has
been there with what seems like
a great guy, I’ve gotten burned. I
don't get it. Why?
ANSWER:
Can you really “fall in love”?
When someone “falls head over
heels” in love, it seems to imply a
magical and secret component
to their relationship. Yet, the
presence of love should not imply the absence of thought.
Many a priest in pre-marital
counseling groans when the couple draws a blank at the question, “What do you love about
one another?” Serious doubt is
indicated if, after much reflection,
the answers indicate little depth,
such as “because she’s a real
fox,” “he’s fun to be with,” or,
once to my horror, “because we
like the same kind of pizza.”
While the couple may look upon
the priest as if he or she has callously cast doubt on the love story of the century, nonetheless, a
little work now could save a lot of
heartache later.
So, after serious thought,
many couples are able to trace
their attraction to such fine qualities as empathy, selflessness,
and a willingness to communicate in an open and honest manner with one another. They are
also able to spot areas of needed growth, and to develop a plan
that will get their marriage off on
the right foot.
But, some people are often
“burned” not only because they

let their heart rule their head, but
also because they look for marriage to heal old wounds from
parents or former spouses. We
are often attracted to people who
are psychologically carbon
copies of that parent by whom
we never felt accepted. Unconsciously, we hope that if we can
make our spouse love us, then
maybe we could have gotten our
parents to love us. As we have
made our one spouse equal two
persons, we are willing to endure
a fair amount of abuse before we
give up trying to win over that
person.
If a divorce occurs, amazingly
many people fall in love again
with a similar type of person. I
can remember once having a
husband come into therapy with
his sixth wife, telling both her and
me how unlucky he was to have
"gotten stuck with six losers in a
row". That endearing comment
earned him another divorce, but
therapy thankfully helped him
see his continual attraction to the
same kind of person, his need to
mourn instead of repeat the past,
and to come finally to love and
accept himself.
Therefore, the point is that no
one really falls in love. Those
who describe “love at first sight,”
followed by a quick marriage, are
lucky if it works. With the divorce
rate being what it is, consider
taking luck out of the process.
Look before you leap. Discover
what you love about a person, as
well as how you can help each
other grow. While this may
sometimes be hard, it will always
be healthy.
KEY POINTS:
• You do not fall in love.
• Love is the heart’s reaction
to the mind’s perception.
• Your mind sees not only how
you look on the outside, but also
who you are on the inside: sensitive, caring, thoughtful, responsible, reliable, etc.
• Too little thought at the beginning leads to too much pain
later.

The East Coast Chamber Orchestra performs
Tuesday, February 12, in Richardson Auditorium.
ECCO: Orchestrating Resounding Effects
E
CCO, the East Coast Chamber
Orchestra, a conductorless ensemble of
about 20 string players, has been attracting
listeners since 2001. However, the 12-yearold ensemble arose without long-range
plans. Violist Jonathan Vinocour, a founding
member of the group explains.
“ECCO started informally,” he says in a
telephone interview. “We were a bunch of
musicians just out of music schools. Mainly
we were in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. All of us were playing chamber music
or solos. We got together to read orchestral
music for fun. Our idea was to play great orchestral literature as an expanded chamber
group.
“Playing in an orchestra is more powerful
and communal than playing in a chamber ensemble,” Vinocour says. “You’re a little
anonymous in an orchestra.”
“Eventually, we decided to play a concert.
It was fun for us and fun for the audience. So
we kept going.” ECCO performs Tuesday,
February 12, at 7:30 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton campus, as a special event in the Princeton University Concerts series.
Marna Seltzer, director of Princeton University Concerts, thinks of the performance
as a gift to the community. Tickets cost $10;
students pay $5, and subscribers to the series
attend gratis.
Breaking new ground, ECCO’s Princeton
concert dissolves the gap between performers and audience. The ensemble has invited
amateur string players to join them in Benjamin Britten’s “Simple Symphony.” Other
pieces on the program are by Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart, Peter Tchaikovsky, and
Francesco Geminiani.
ECCO violinist Michi Wiancko has updated Geminiani’s Concerto Grosso No. 12,
which is based on Archangelo Corelli’s “La
Follia,” by adding unconventional harmonies, contemporary extended techniques,
and jazz and Latin elements.
Joining professionals and amateurs in performance grew out of an experiment initiated by Seltzer during the visit of Ensemble
ACJW to Princeton during an exam week in
2012. Ensemble ACJW is a two-year program (or academy) of Carnegie Hall, the
Juilliard School, and the Weill Music Institute (with each contributing a letter to the
by Elaine Strauss
name). All members of ECCO are alumni or
current fellows of the academy.
With Ensemble ACJW on campus, Seltzer
arranged for a reading of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 where Princeton students and
concert subscribers joined the ensemble.
Though the original plan was to play only the
first two movements of the symphony, the
audible collective disappointment at the end
of the second movement led the group to
tackle the rest of the piece. Recalling the joy
of the reading, Seltzer says, “We decided
then and there that we would try to make this
into an annual event.” In 2013 that event is
the ECCO concert.
Final plans for the concert call for 18 ECCO instrumentalists and 26 amateur participants, making a total of 54 on stage. A waiting list of about a dozen volunteers could not
be accommodated initially. For the performance, the first stands of each section will consist of an ECCO member and a volunteer.
ECCO members will rotate between movements so that each volunteer has the opportunity to play alongside an ECCO member.
Seltzer, a violinist, has decided not to play
in the concert because she didn’t want to deprive someone else of the opportunity to
play. “I’m hoping for a no-show at the last
minute,” she says.
Parts for the amateur participants were
sent to them on February 1, 11 days before
the concert. Performers in the Britten piece
will not rehearse before they perform.
Seltzer notes “‘The Simple Symphony’is not
all that simple. One movement is entirely
pizzicato,” or plucked.
ECCO violinist Nick Kendall leads the
ensemble/audience performance of the Britten piece. Kendall appeared in Princeton last
season as a member of “Time for Three,” the
unclassifiable trio consisting of two violins
and double bass, given to “pop-up” performances, as well as to performances from the
stage.
Kendall won his place as leader of the
Britten piece through the democratic procedures that mark ECCO’s method of operations. That is, he declared that he wanted to
lead the piece. Founding member Vinocour
says, “If a person speaks up, we assume that
they really care.
“ECCO is truly democratic,” Vinocour
says. “We make very communal decisions.
No single person makes decisions. We have
committees. Programming is done like that
and personnel decisions are like that.” Preliminary work on finances, media decisions,
and website management are also handled
by committees, none of which has term limits. “People volunteer for committees or drop
out after serving a while,” Vinocour says.
“Decisions can take time. We send a lot of Emails.”
“Sometimes we have conference calls,”
he says, “especially if there’s a pressing issue. We had a conference call to discuss issues for the Princeton concert — outreach,
pop up concerts, and incorporating the amateurs.”
A
ccording to an anonymous source,
pop up concerts set for Frist Campus Center
at 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. on Monday, February
11, can give the curious a chance to hear ECCO in advance of the concert.
ECCO makes its musical decisions at rehearsals. “I don’t want to overemphasize the
role of leadership,” Vinocour says. “We try
to have musical leadership come from the
group as a whole. We’re not all sitting down
and studying the score. We learn through the
process of rehearsing whom we need to be
paying attention to at each transition.
“We get together for very focused periods
preceding a tour. Then we disperse. We make
musical decisions when everybody is there.
Sometimes there are heated discussions, but
we always come to a decision spontaneously.
“Rehearsing has gotten more difficult
than it was in the beginning, when ECCO
was more East Coast than it has gotten to be,”
Vinocour says. “I’m in San Francisco now.
Some members have moved to Europe, some
have bowed out.”
“One of the issues that’s tough for ECCO
is that now a fair number of players are in
symphony orchestras. Their schedules go in
one-week blocks. If you take time off from
the symphony, you have to take off the entire
week. ECCO performances often cover
more than one orchestral week. At San Francisco the week begins on Tuesday. To play
the entire February ECCO tour would require three weeks of San Francisco vacation
time.”
“I’m not playing the Princeton concert,”
says Vinocour, a 2001 Princeton graduate.
Regretfully, he adds, “I’m playing everything but Princeton.” Nevertheless,
Vinocour will have his own Princeton interaction coaching campus instrumental groups
on Sunday and Monday, February 10 and 11,
after the San Francisco orchestra performs in
Philadelphia.
Vinocour grew up in Rochester, New
York. As an undergraduate he majored in
chemistry and won the Sudler Prize for excellence in performance, execution, or composition in one of the arts. His senior thesis
dealt with photophysical studies of synthetic
peptides. His undergraduate musical activities included playing in the Haddonfield
Symphony, now the Camden-based Symphony in C. He took performance classes at
the university and performed with both the
Princeton Orchestra and Richardson Chamber Players. “I did as much as I could within
the Princeton music world,” he says.
Asked how he balanced chemistry and
music as a Princeton undergraduate,
Vinocour says, “That was tough. Depending
on where you are in the semester, you might
not have time to practice. My practice was
inconsistent. Sometimes I practiced in the
chemistry lab. There’s a lot of waiting
around if you’re doing research.
“I was never fully sure that I would go on
to a career in science,” he says. “I was pretty
serious about music from the beginning. It
wasn’t a switch; I was uncertain what to pursue when I entered Princeton. After graduation I attended the New England Conservatory [in Boston]. “As long as you play a good
audition, they don’t care what your major
was.
“I was not able to get back for reunions,”
Vinocour says about his upcoming visit to
the Princeton campus. “There was always a
tour happening. Now I’m excited about seeing the music department and the new chemistry building, and connecting with people I
knew.
“ECCO will really enjoy playing in
Richardson,” Vinocour predicts. “I wish I
was playing the concert.”

PREVIEW
A Duet on and Off the Boheme Opera Stage
T
wo weeks before the
presentation of central New Jersey-based Boheme Opera’s “Don
Pasquale” at the College of New
Jersey, managing director Sandra
Milstein-Pucciatti (Milstein for
clarity) is busy preparing an application to the New Jersey State
Council on the Arts. Hunkered
down at her home office, she calculates the estimated expenses and
revenues for the next three years.
“It’s an extremely helpful
source of funding,” she says, “and
the application helps us put everything in perspective. It deals with
so many components of the operation such as mission, programming, budgeting, audience building, marketing, and how many people you reach. It’s an involved
process, but beyond the funding it
helps us to know where our weaknesses and strengths are and to
build on both.”
It is also an unglamorous task,
but one that helps to bring the most
colorful and dramatic of art forms
to the stage. But Milstein is used to
it. After all, as the manager for the
company she co-founded with her
husband, company artistic director
and conductor Joseph Pucciatti,
she has been doing it or something
similar for 24 years.
Milstein says that while the
world in which they started the
company nearly a quarter of a century ago has changed and brought
new challenges, their goal and
presence in the region has been
constant.
“Our mission has always been
the same,” she says. “The biggest
component of our mission is to
give the opportunity for young
people to experience opera, for
young performers to perform, and
for audiences to enjoy. Opportunity has been our common thread.”
The current era, despite its challenges, is also providing an opportunity. “Opera is reinventing itself,
so this is giving us the opportunity
to reinvent ourselves,” she says.
That reinvention includes their
2011 move to the College of New
Jersey, new associations, and new
ideas.
“At (the College of New Jersey)
there are some capabilities that we
didn’t have before. For example,
during our production of ‘The
Magic Flute’ we discovered the
college had a special screen that we
could project digital images on and
that the audience loved. It’s a domino effect: one thing leads to another thing. Changing the main stage
location was an opportunity to sell
our company and organize internally,” says Milstein.
The company was a regular
presence at the 1,800-seat War
Memorial Building in Trenton, a
location that Milstein found both
challenging and beautiful.
“Opera requires set up and rehearsal before performance. It requires so many things that the average renter does not use. Given the
number of components that we
have to deal with, it expands the
budget. We also had to use their
by Dan Aubrey
crew, which was union. The size of
the theater, the image of Trenton,
and cost were all factors. We have
not abandoned the idea of returning
to the War Memorial. When the
economy improves we would love
to. The space is gorgeous, and we
like working in it. But you have to
be realistic about what you can do,
your capacity. It’s important when
you pick a venue for opera,” she
says, speaking more as a manager
than the musician she is.
While she says the move to the
College of New Jersey was new,
her telling of past connections
there actually marks a return. It’s
where the company co-founders
met and started a life with each other and opera.
It was 1975, and the institution
was known as Trenton State College. Sandra Milstein arrived from
Temple University to pursue a
graduate degree in music performance. Joseph Pucciatti was finishing his senior year. They both studied piano. She played classical, he
jazz. Her focus was to continue
performing professionally, his to
get a teaching degree yet continue
to play and conduct. She was from
the Jewish community of South
Philadelphia, he an ItalianCatholic from the Chambersburg
section of Trenton. She had grown
up with her bakery owner father’s
love for opera, while jazz was the
norm in his school custodian-run
household. “We came from opposite worlds,” she says.
Their matchmaker was Giacomo Puccini, the Italian composer
of the 1896 opera “La Boheme,” a
name connected to colorful freespirited artists and the company
they were to found.
Milstein says that during one of
his music classes, her husband-tobe was assigned to listen to an
opera. “So he goes to the library,
takes the first recording he can
find, and pops on ‘Turandot,’” the
romantically powerful final opera
by Puccini. “And he’s blown
away,” she says. “This is the starting point for him. To appreciate the
music you have to be touched by it
in some facet. That’s what attracts
audiences. But we have to make
those opportunities happen.”
Before they could make opportunities for others, they would need
to build a bridge between their two
worlds. The result was a continuation of their individual career paths
but with some merging. He became
interested in Judaism and converted. She came to stay in the Trenton
area. And they both let opera seep
into their lives through intensive
playing and studying the music
with other professionals in and out
of the region.
“I don’t really know when we
realized that we needed to test the
water to see if there was an interest
in an opera production. We started
a guild and had a five-year capital
concert series at the Mill Hill Theater. But it started to morph.”
Then in 1982, says Milstein,
“We did something crazy. We did
an outdoor production of the opera
‘Pagliacci’ at the Feast of Lights,”
referring to the annual Italian festival in the heart of Chambersburg
section of Trenton. “(The sponsoring church) had some pretty artsy
priests, and they thought it was
good to bring attention to Italian
culture. This was so theatrical, we
did it outside. We asked the city to
bring in seating for about 400 to
500, but 1,100 people showed up. It
was amazing. We knew then that it
was time to go the next step.”
That was followed over the next
few years with small opera presentations in the old Roman Hall
restaurant in Chambersburg and a
presentation at the Bristol Riverside Theater, “An Evening at La
Scala.”
“In 1989 we took the plunge and
started performing operas at Trenton Central High School. We did
two seasons there before we went
to the War Memorial.” The company has continued presenting productions and involving both
emerging
and
accomplished
artists. Participating artists listed
on their website are Princeton-born
baritone Mark Delavan (credits including Metropolitan and New
York City operas), internationally
known soprano Paula Delligatti
(Opera National de Paris-Bastille
and Royal Opera in London), Allan
Glassman (Metropolitan and Dallas operas), and others. Metropolitan Opera stars Jerome Hinds and
Roberta Peters appeared as guests
at special events.
M
arried for 35 years with a
26-year-old daughter and a home
in Hamilton, Milstein and Pucciatti continue creating opera as well as
continuing their careers. Pucciatti
has more than 30 years in the Trenton Public School System, 21 of
them as a music teacher at Trenton
Central High School. Milstein
teaches piano to advanced students
and performs as a piano accompanist. They have a shared synagogue
position at Congregation Beth
Chaim in Princeton Junction,
where for 32 years the couple has
supervised the choir at services,
festivals, holiday presentations,
and special events. Coincidentally
Joseph also serves as choir director
for Our Lady of the Angels Parish
in Trenton.
Of this combination of religious
practices, Milstein says, “I was accepted immediately into the
Catholic family. There is a strong
sense of family. On my side, it was
bit more awkward. They had different feelings about inter-religious marriages. My parents were
slow in accepting, but when it happened it was amazing. My dad ended up becoming one of our
strongest board members and such
an advocate. It was something how
it all developed. He wasn’t sure
about Joe when I was dating him,
but he became his biggest fan.”
Dealing with the board and other management duties takes most
of Milstein’s days as the company
prepares for the upcoming shows
and its 25th anniversary. Today, as
she reviews the company’s facts
and financial figures for the past
few years, she is primed to talk
about some ongoing problems and
some surprising successes.
One main problem is the way the
general public views opera. “There
is a perception that you have to
dress up and it’s elitist. We don’t
care what people wear. A person
does not have to take a history book
or a libretto, except for a general
plot. The idea is that opera is entertainment. The beauty comes together in the costumes, performance, music, and design.”
A tool to help combat the perceptual problem came with their
change of venue. Milstein says that
since they moved to an education
venue they have been attracting
students and professionals from
both TCNJ and Westminster Choir
College. Some participate as audience members, but others participate in the chorus. “We’re working
on our April production of ‘Faust’
and out of chorus of 30, 18 are in
their 20s. We’re looking at a young
contingent,” she says.
Additionally the opera company’s presence on a college campus
changes the way that people view
it, seeing it more as a cultural education resources. “Students are
coming to dress rehearsals and
families want kids to experience
something that they don’t get in
school.”
‘The idea is that opera is entertainment,’ says Milstein. ‘The beauty
comes together in the costumes, performances, music, and design.’
Opera Lovers: Boheme Opera’s Joe
and Sandy Pucciatti.
Despite the fact that economy
has not been kind to arts organizations in general and that across the
nation opera companies are facing
new challenges, Milstein has some
other successes.
Its involvement with a chamber
of commerce that has expanded its
focus from being Mercer County to
the central New Jersey region, the
MIDJersey Chamber, helps the
company get the word out to a larger community. The ongoing partnership with the college has given
them more tools and new ideas.
And a successful recent venture at
Grounds For Sculpture has opened
the discussion for future events.
Add to the above that board
members understand the value of
the presence of such a company in
the capital city region and are participating in moving it forward
shows promise, especially since
the company is planning its 25th
anniversary next year. It is one that
will highlight the bicentennial of
the birth of famed opera composer
Giuseppe Verdi and be an occasion
to bring back many of the performers who started or performed for
their many years.
But today, Milstein’s stage is a
desk in her home office, where she
performs financial reports and conducts the hidden work that will
brings the music and voices that
can be heard in the upcoming “Don
Pasquale,”
Italian
composer
“Faust” in April, and for the years
to come.

Women In the Farm Business
Continued from page 12
years. In the first pile, from 2012,
the leaves are still discernible, but
in the second they have decomposed and are nearly ready to be
used as mulch.
Niederer’s farm is on its way to
being fully certified as organic. Before being certified as “organic,”
plants must spend three years in
fields where no synthetics have
been used. Some of her land has
reached that milestone, and at market crops produced in this area are
labeled “organic;” the others are labeled “transitional organic.”
Niederer’s
great-grandfather
Otto immigrated to the United
States in 1910, largely because
Switzerland was out of land. When
he arrived in this country, he
worked in a laceworks factory in
Union City and also bought a farm
in Titusville that today is part of
Washington Crossing State Park.
Times got hard for Otto when
his cows got tuberculosis, and part
of his farm was taken over by the
state. But he saved his family by inventing a machine that graded and
processed eggs, the Egomatic.
Whereas earlier farmers had to
weigh each egg by hand, with the
Egomatic the eggs rolled on a conveyer belt, passing over scales
along the way. If the egg was too
light to tip the first scale, it would
roll on to the next one, and so forth.
When it did tip a scale, it rolled to
the side onto padded springs coiled
to different thicknesses to make
channels to hold the eggs. A cool
video of the operation is available
on Youtube.
Continuing to farm on the side,
Otto and his two sons, Otto Jr., and
Herb — Jess Niederer’s grandfather — stayed in the business,
Thompson Management
which took a brief detour during
the war when the Eg-omatic technology was contracted by the government to create the Rivetomatic,
whose purpose was to efficiently
sort airplane rivets by size. During
the manufacturing process the rivets would drop onto the floor; after
they were swept up and put into
buckets, they needed to be sorted
easily for efficient reuse.
Although Otto never stopped
farming, Niederer’s father is not so
sure he was gung ho about it.
Niederer explains her father’s theory about his inventive grandfather. “He liked farming because it
was peaceful and quiet, and he
could think stuff up and not be
bugged by anybody.”
Eventually the rest of the original farm was taken over by the government via eminent domain, and
N iederer’s grandfather used the
money the family received for its
land to buy the farm that is now her
father’s. “My dad has farmed his
whole life,” she says, “since he was
old enough to be stuck on a tractor.”
After purchasing the farm from
her grandfather, her dad farmed the
property while also doing other
work to support his family — as a
welder for the family business, a
driller of elevator shafts for the
World Trade Center towers, and
maintenance supervisor at the St.
Lawrence Rehabilitation Center.
He also bought his own welldrilling rigs, then when he was
done drilling wells for his farm,
turned them over for a nice profit.
As his daughter says admiringly,
“He can fix anything.”
Niederer’s mother was a secretary in the public works department, eventually taking on more
responsibility, and today is the as-
sistant to the administrator in
Hopewell Township.
Niederer and her siblings all
went to college, but growing up she
was a farm girl through and
through. When she was a child, her
father ran a horse-boarding stable,
and as early as age eight she had
partial responsibility for filling the
water buckets, mucking out the
stalls, and letting the horses in and
out. By 11, she was fully responsible for this and recalls that once she
got really good at it, she was able to
do it in about an hour and a half a
day. She was also paid for her efforts, something like 25 cents a
stall. “It was piecework — good
training for farming, where you get
paid by the piece, not by the hour,”
she says. “Your income was related
to how many units you were able to
get done.”

er’s father grew had to be baled,
and she remembers happy moments when the kids would stack
the bales for storage. “It is a big
harvest, and everyone is doing it all
at once — you call everybody you
know to come help,” says Jess. For
example, as a quid pro quo the guys
who hunt in her father’s 50 acres of
woods for no charge are expected
to help out on big projects like harvests. “It is a bunch of people really straining themselves but at least
everybody is doing it together,” she
says.
Harvests also mean hurrying up.
“How fast you have to go depends
on the weather,” says Niederer.
“You have a time period when the
crop is perfectly ripe, cured, or seasoned and ready to be brought in,
and a weather event that could ruin
it all. It’s best to operate under the
assumption that you don’t have
much time.”

early on was how to save money

about eight, her father was offered
a Pennsylvania barn for free and he
brought it truckload by truckload to
his farm in New Jersey. They still
use it today; it houses a walk-in
cooler for vegetable storage, a tool
shop, and farm equipment.
As a teen, Niederer was one of
only a sprinkling of other farm kids
and does not remember being at all
separated from the mainstream.
But there was one thing she was
singled out for: “I have had huge
biceps since I was eight years old
— not a physio-type that is common among middle and high
school females in this country,” she
says, explaining, “I have done
physical labor for a long time and
my body is different because of
that. Now that is trendy, but I don’t
know if you think it’s trendy when
you are 13.”
The farm kids were pretty much
intermingled with everyone else,
but they did share a simple understanding, she says: “You understood the need to shovel shit if
that’s what is necessary.”
In addition to her farm tasks,
Niederer also had an after-school
job starting at age 14, at Rosedale
Mills, up the street from her family’s farm.
When Niederer started college
at Cornell University’s College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences, she
had a clear vision of her future, although that was to change. “I wanted to be an environmental scientist
and eventually work in conservation biology and, if possible, just be
outside all the time,” she recalls.
But she learned pretty quickly
that science didn’t work for her. “I
felt impatient personally doing scientific research at that point,” she
says. “Part of it is that we know a
lot about what we are supposed to
be doing in science, conservation,
and environment science — using
less fuel, putting less carbon in the
atmosphere, cutting down fewer
rainforests — we already know
this, but we’re just not doing it.”
She started thinking that this
path would just lead to frustration
and turned her thoughts in a different direction. “I understood that
food and human health were a big
part of the picture that I cared
about, and I cared about being near
family and this farm,” she says.
When Niederer took off two different semesters while in college
— one in New Orleans after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and another
in Nicaragua to learn to speak
Spanish, she learned a lot about
herself in ways that were critical to
her future choices.
The semester in Nicaragua during her sophomore year was motivated by two things. “The goal was
to get out of the country and see a
little of another culture,” she says,
“and I wanted to be somewhat
bilingual.” She ended up in a onewoman program in the town of
Ocotal in northern Nicaragua,
where she learned to speak Spanish
from elementary school teachers
and in return gave English lessons
to the children in their schools.
Culturally what made the
biggest impression on her was how

an interest in revitalizing that poor
neighborhood, she says, but the
government claimed the school
was unsafe, which turned out not to
be true according to the engineers,
and today it is a community-run
charter school.
Before her experience in New
Orleans, Niederer was studying to
be a conservation biologist and was
interested in doing fieldwork, saving habitats, and improving environmental quality, but that all
changed. In New Orleans, the people in the communities she worked
in had chronically poor health and
little access to primary rather than
emergency healthcare. Many had
heart conditions and diabetes that
were exacerbated by the stress of
the hurricanes. Seeing all of this
changed how she looked at the
world. “In New Orleans I became
very interested in taking care of
people as well, because I was interested in the welfare and fair treatment of people and the health of
people,” she says.
In response to the devastation
she had seen she became an emergency medical technician when she
returned home. “There were situations where I realized I didn’t know
anything about taking care of a human in a health emergency, and I
felt it was important to learn,” she

family-centric the people in the
town were. “There were not too
many people in the town where I
was living who would have voluntarily made a choice to move away
from their family,” she says, remembering the many times she
was asked, “Don’t you miss your
family right now?”
She realized that this sense of
connection to family is normal for
most of the world, whereas Americans, perhaps due to our being a nation of immigrants or because of
our upward mobility, often choose
to go away from their families — as
most of her peer cohort from high
school has done. “They do not decide consciously that the place they
grew up is the place they are going
to take care of,” she says. “Seeing
that somewhere else challenged me
to think about how I relate to family, home, and the farm I grew up on,
and it opened the door for me to decide I wanted to come home eventually.”
Then during winter break at the
end of 2005, she went to New Orleans to help with the devastation
following the hurricanes, but decided to stay on through the next
semester. “I realized I had to go

Her ideals around farming include making enough money to pay
herself enough and to pay the people who work for her well enough
that they will potentially stay with
her for a long time. “Nobody feels
like they are being cheated, but I’d
like to be able to pay people and
myself better,” she says.
Making money is not just an
economic necessity for Niederer,
but also a way to achieve her ecological ideals. “If farmers are financially successful,” she says,
“they can be much better stewards
of the land they are farming.” They
do not have to exploit the land, for
one reason, because with more
money they will be able to buy organic compost rather than the less
expensive alternative — 10 10 10
spray. Organic fertilizer costs a lot
more per pound of nitrogen, notes
Niederer, but the nitrogen is far
less volatile, which means it is less
able to convert to a form that becomes a greenhouse gas. She adds
that 60 percent of the greenhouse
gas produced by agriculture is
from the use of synthetic fertilizer
— not from driving tractors
around.
Another way that having more
money is useful is to help farmers
like herself overcome the temptation to keep farming on the same
piece of ground, which will wear
out the soil. “If you can rest the
land and plant a cover crop and not
harvest for a year, then you are creating land that is going to be able to
produce better for you and require
less inputs shipped to your farm to
fertilize subsequent crops,” she
says.
To meet these challenges, as
well as to earn enough to buy her
land from her father, she needs to
get to a bigger scale, estimating
that to achieve all her goals she
would need to plant 15 acres of
vegetables.
During her time with Kinsel,
Niederer focused largely on the
pragmatics of farming. For example, he would have her repackage
wheel bearings, a dirty task that involves taking apart the wheel and
cleaning out the dust and grit on the
rotating part of the axle. This is
necessary to prevent pitting in the
metal that can cause a wheel to fall
off a tractor, which is very dangerous. Once the wheel is clean, it
must be inspected to see if parts are
showing wear, replacements ordered, the axle repacked with
grease, and then the whole lot put
back together.
Niederer also started learning
more about tractors, whose use is
not necessarily straightforward.
They come in different sizes and
have different pieces of equipment
attached that do specific jobs, each
with its own range of operational
settings.
A rototiller, for example, has to
be set for a certain number of rotations per minute and a particular
depth of soil penetration, and requires that the tractor move at a
certain groundspeed. “It depends
on the soil conditions you are looking for at the end,” says Niederer.
“The manipulation of those factors
is important for achieving the desired result. As the operator, you
can change these to make it do the
right thing.” And, she adds, a
farmer wants to use the lowest possible horsepower a job requires,
both for improving efficiency and
putting less weight on the soil so as
to compact it less.
To give the uninitiated a glimpse
of what a farmer needs to know
about tractors, Niederer describes
the tractors and attachments she
had to learn to use. The chisel plow
breaks up compaction layers in the
soil, but the disc (actually an array
of discs) is the primary tillage tool
and starts flipping over the soil to
prepare for planting.
The manure spreader covers the
fields with the leaf compost that
Niederer uses. “We would love to
use compost manures,” she says,
“but we don’t have an easily accessible source.” Compost manures
have a higher nutrient percentage
than leaf compost, but, she says,
“part of farming is working with
the materials that are available to
you.”
The six-foot-wide rototiller
works the compost into the soil, but
not too deeply. Because this tool

goals she would need

rotates quickly on a single level, it
can create an undesirable smeared
layer called a “hard pan.” The goal
is to lightly work the very top layer
of soil to create a smooth, fluffy
surface for planting without developing a barrier to the plant roots.
The bed form shapes the soil into a raised bed, so that in a really
wet year the plants are not sitting in
a puddle. The roots, notes Niederer, need to have a lifted-up zone
where they can have an air exchange, and the ideal soil composition is 45 percent mineral, 5 percent organic matter, 25 percent water, and 25 percent air. In a wet
year, where 50 percent could be
water, a raised bed provides a place
for the water to drain. “Plant roots
need air or they die,” says Niederer, and she advises home gardeners
that they are likely to see a drastic
yield increase with a bed raised to a
height of at least four inches.
A cultivating tractor straddles a
bed and has an array of tools underneath that can be lifted and lowered. One of its uses is to sweep
and agitate the ground on either
side of a bed, which in effect weeds
between the rows — although a little bit of hand cleanup is necessary
close to the row. “It’s hard to kill
every weed without killing the
crop,” says Niederer.
For potatoes, the same cultivating tractor can create furrows with
an implement that is tilted at an angle. After the farmworkers throw
seed potatoes into these furrows,
the tractor is used to cover them
back up. Then, when the potatoes
are ready to be harvested, the tractor sinks the same implement used

to create the furrows more deeply
so that it throws the potatoes on top
of the soil. Currently these are
picked up by hand and put in a bag,
but if the scale of the planting were
much bigger, it would make sense
to purchase a mechanical potato
harvester, says Niederer.
She has a lot of the farming mechanics down, but in terms of business Niederer still has a lot to learn.
“None of it is rocket science, but
there are a lot of i’s to dot and t’s to
cross and paperwork to stay on top
of — proper filing, permit gathering,” she says.
Another aspect of the agriculture business, of course, is how you
sell your produce and for how
much. Niederer read in a 2009 issue of “Growing for Market” about
a farm in Oklahoma that was selling its produce through a “market
CSA (community supported agriculture).” With this approach, farm
customers commit their business in
advance by establishing an account
with a cash payment. Pickup during the season can be done at any of
a number of one-day-a-week farmers’ markets, and “payment” is via
a reduction in the customer’s account balance.
Niederer liked this idea, having
often heard the complaints of customers to a regular CSA, where
food is apportioned by “shares”
and customers can end up with way
too of one item and not enough of
another. With a market CSA, customers only buy what they want
and as much as they need.
As a businesswoman, the upside
for Niederer is that she gets paid in
January and February, and customers are committing their business to her farm. For her customers, they get a discount off the
market table price of the produce
(and the discount increases, based
on the amount of money the customer puts up before the season begins). Clients also feel a lot more
connected to the farm, coming to
seasonal potlucks and getting a
weekly update of farm doings with
their account balances.

Oldest Subaru Dealer in NJ!
Flower Power: In addition to vegetables, Chickadree Creek Farm’s fields also produce
zinnias,sunflowers, snapdragons, and a dozen
more field flower varieties.
Niederer warns that sometimes
early in the season, she may run out
of, say, head lettuce, but the customers are not charged and are
likely to get it the following week.
“Farming is pretty unpredictable,”
she says, noting that the size of
crops is affected by weather, bugs,
and plant diseases.
If for some reason she ends up
with a huge amount of some type of
produce, as she did last year with
ginger, she will sell to Zone 7, a
farm fresh-distribution service
founded by Mikey Azzara that connects farmers and chefs. This service is very different from what her
father faces when he has excess
grain and has to take it to an auction, where he is entirely a price
taker.
This year Niederer will be offering her produce at five markets,
where she sets her price by determining her breakeven and how
much profit she needs to make
above that. These include: Montgomery, on Saturdays from 9 to 1
by the Village Shopper on 206; the
Stangl factory in downtown Flemington on Saturdays from 9 to 2;
Pennington at Rosedale Mills, Saturdays from 9-1; Rutgers Gardens,
on Fridays from 12-4; and Princeton Library Plaza, on Thursdays
from 11-4.
Musing about what a farmer is,
Niederer notes how daunted she
has been by the eight-page, bulletpointed DACUM (Developing A
Curriculum), which is a job occupational analysis and profile performed by expert workers in an occupation.
She says, “I teach a class for
people aspiring to farm for NOFANJ (Northeast Organic Farming
Association of New Jersey) and
show them that profile to scare the
shit out of them.”
Farming, she says, requires a
person to have or to develop “a decently diverse skill set.” Farmers
have to be able to fix things, get a
permit from the Department of Environmental Protection, work a 14hour day in the sun, soothe a disgruntled employee, weld a disc array when it breaks, and effectively
tell someone how to prepare an
eggplant. “If you can’t explain how
to use it, they can’t buy it,” she explains. As someone who is very
busy and does not have time to
cook, yet expects to eat healthfully,
she favors and provides for her customers recipes with short lists of
ingredients and short instructions.
At her 10th reunion at TK High
School, Niederer was surprised to
learn that more than half of her former classmates seemed to hate
their jobs, whereas “the ones who
loved their jobs cared about the
work they were doing.”
So recently, when she spoke at
the National Honor Society induction at Hopewell Valley Central
High School, she urged the students to figure out how to make a
living doing something they care
about — as she is. But, realistically, she adds, a mite sadly, “it’s still
possible that half will do it for the
money.”

E
wing Township is fast becoming a hotspot for business activity in Mercer County. In the past
few months alone the town has
green-lit redevelopment on Parkway Avenue, a new airline opened
at the Trenton-Mercer Airport, and
a number of businesses have located in the Princeton South corporate
center — most recently Church &
Dwight and its iconic Arm & Hammer brand.
In his state of the county speech
in January, Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes pointed out that
that the airport and existing rail infrastructure in Ewing will join with
Princeton and Trenton to create a
“transportation triangle” that will
be an “enormous economic driver”
for the region.
Frontier Air, which opened at
Trenton-Mercer on November 16,
has already expanded its list of destinations two times since it started
service. By April the airline will
offer nonstop service to 10 cities:
Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago-Midway, Columbus, Detroit, and Raleigh/Durham.
Robert Prunetti, CEO of the
MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce and former Mercer County
executive, commented on the importance of the airport and business development in Ewing in a recent opinion article.
“The Trenton-Mercer Airport
has the potential to become an economic jewel for the entire region.
For too long, in my estimation,
we’ve allowed this gemstone to
dull due to underutilization,” said
Prunetti.
Prunetti said the chamber supports plans for the redevelopment

of the 86-acre General Motors tract
and the adjacent 28-acre former
Navy Jet Propulsion site both located off Parkway Avenue. “This
plan alone will enhance the West
Trenton portion of Ewing Township dramatically — but combined
with the potential of the airport, it
becomes a rare gemstone.”
Ewing took one step closer toward the construction of a town
center on January 30 when the
township council voted to approve
the redevelopment plan. The concept — called the Parkway Avenue
Redevelopment Plan — calls for
transformation of the area into a
town center featuring restaurants,
retail stores, offices, residences, a

transit hub by connecting the property
to both the airport
and the West Trenton
SEPTA train station.
park, and a town square. Ewing officials hope to find developers for
the project by the end of the summer.
The plan also calls for the center
to become a transit hub by connecting the property to the both the airport and the West Trenton SEPTA
train station. Proposals have called
for the train station to be moved
closer to the redevelopment area.
In addition to continuing its current service to Philadelphia, the
station would also be part of a new
West Trenton Line of New Jersey
Transit. Under that plan, some 12
miles of new track would be laid to
connect Ewing to new stations in
Hopewell, Montgomery, and Hillsborough before being merged into
the Raritan Valley Line to Newark
Penn Station.
Meanwhile, in the nearby
Princeton South corporate center,
Church & Dwight, the household
products manufacturer, became the
latest company to move into the
complex. The company began to
move employees into its newlycompleted headquarters in the
complex’s 500 building about a
month ago.
The Opus Group, the Minnesota
firm that designed and constructed
the new 250,000-square-foot
building, announced the completion of the facility in a press release
on January 31. Construction began
in October 2011 and was completed in late 2012. An investment
group led by Founders Properties
of Minnesota owns the building
and has signed Church & Dwight
to a long-term lease, reported to be
20 years.
Employees at the site told U.S. 1
that more than 500 employees are
ultimately expected to work at the
location. Some 250 employees are
expected to stay at the company’s
old Princeton headquarters on
North Harrison Street, which will
be made into a research and development center. The company also
has sites in Rocky Hill, Cranbury,
and Lakewood.
A company official requested
that U.S. 1 E-mail a list of questions for detailed information regarding the move, but no one ever
responded to the request.
Opus also constructed the rest of
Princeton South, which is home to
companies including the American
Institute of CPAs, Antares Pharma,
Autism Services Group, Battelle
Ventures, Berkley Life Sciences,
Bovis Lend Lease, CA (Computer
Associates), Compass Healthcare
Communications, Emgenex, Environmental Resources Management, Epocrates, FMC Corp., Mercer Oak Realty, Mercer Oaks Properties, RSVP Group US, Valuation
Research Corp., and Ventura
Wealth Management. The complex
is also home to a Marriott
SpringHill Suites hotel in Building
800.
Opus purchased the 102-acre
property in 2006 from Bloomberg
Financial. The complex was originally
slated
to
become
Bloombergs’s New Jersey headquarters before the plan was abandoned. After the purchase, Opus
received approvals for 740,000
square feet of office space, including six buildings, a 120-room hotel, three restaurants, and a bank.
The first deal for occupancy in
the project was with CA for 83,000
square feet in Building 200 — the
first 160,000 square foot building
to be constructed. Building 100, a
120,000-square-foot building was
completed in late 2008.
According to Opus, the Church
& Dwight campus includes two

and connected to allow for employee engagement. The new
headquarters centralizes employees previously housed in four separate buildings.
The new buildings are connected by a common “hub link,” a twostory lobby with a full-service
cafeteria, training center and conference area. Church & Dwight
employees will be able to utilize an
outdoor dining patio and courtyard.
Church & Dwight initially
looked into moving to Pennsylvania to meet space demands, but
eventually opted to stay in New
Jersey, in part due to a $13.5 million business retention grant from
the state. At the time, CEO James
Craigie said that without the funds
the company would have likely
opted to move out of New Jersey.
Church & Dwight has said it
will invest $27 million in its operations in the state, including the new
Ewing headquarters and the
Princeton facility. It will also investment in the manufacturing
plant in Lakewood, where the company has said it plans to add 130
employees as part of an energy efficiency grant.
In November, Church & Dwight
reinforced its commitment to the
region by reaching a 20-year deal
with the Trenton Thunder, the Double-A affiliate of the New York
Yankees, for the naming rights to
Waterfront Stadium. Under the
deal, the financial terms of which
were not made available, the ballpark was renamed Arm & Hammer
Park.

RC Reinsurance has moved
from 103 College Road East to 103
Carnegie Center, Suite 117.
The company, formed by president Robert Christian in 1994, underwrites accident and health reinsurance for syndicates of Lloyd’s
of London. In 2008 he moved out
of New York and opened the office
on College Road in the Forrestal
Center.
Christian’s company is a niche
business within the niche of reinsurance. “I don’t do life or medical,” says Christian. “Lloyd’s calls
it the personal accident business —
incentive trips and executive travel.” For instance, if 100 people
from the World Bank will fly on
one chartered jet into a developing
country, one insurance company
might not want to cover the entire
liability in case of a crash. Christian’s firm would figure out what to
charge for a Lloyd’s of London
subsidiary to provide backup in-
surance, called reinsurance.
He writes what are called “facultative” reinsurance policies.
These could be “one incident”
policies, such as a business trip, or
a high-limit annual contract on an
executive or a group of executives.
For example, a big soft drink
company wants to insure its 10 top
executives for $10 million to cover
traveling mishaps for one year. The
first insurance company agrees to
cover the first $5 million, and RC
Reinsurance would write a policy
to cover the second $5 million.

hat does
U.S. 1’s story about the
McGraw-Hill heirs fighting over
their mother and grandmother’s
care have to do with U.S. 1’s other
story about the classical music disc
jockey having a show canceled?
Nothing, really, but in reading
the online reactions to the stories I
was struck by how easy it is to
jump to quick conclusions, and
how complex even simple stories
can be.
The key word here is “reading.”
That process doesn’t always happen in the way we commonly understand it either online or in print.
As I have said before in this space,
the new definition of reading is
opening a document in your
browser, looking at it briefly on
your screen, and hitting “page
down” once or twice. Do that for
any document and you can honestly answer “yes” when someone
asks if you have “read” the latest
memo from HR or accounting.
Take it a step further: open the
document in the browser, determine that some content might be of
value, and then copy and paste the
material into cyber-storage. Then,
when asked if you read it, you can
say “Oh, I read that thoroughly.”
Online most people posting
[email protected]
comments fall into one of those
two categories of “readers.” But
the readers of the small item about
Marvin Rosen and his show, “Classical Discoveries Goes AvantGarde,” proved to be better readers
In print or online it
pays to read (really
read) before you
jump to conclusions.
than I would have expected, and
the online debate was better for it.
The news that the student-run
Princeton University campus radio
station had removed Rosen from
his two-hour midday time slot was
greeted with lamentations from
faithful listeners. “How can a DJ
who has received so much recognition, including an ASCAP Radio
Broadcast Award, get his show
canceled? Marvin Rosen not only
has a unique radio program, but he
is the most widely recognized person in the New Music scene. To
cancel his avant-garde program
shows lack of respect.”

But wait, another reader
argued, “let me get this
straight: WPRB shortened
the length of his show from
seven hours to five? What
exactly is the problem here?”
A similar point was made in an
E-mail from Adoley Ammah-Tagoe, WPRB’s station manager.
“WPRB management wants to assure our listeners that we have not
chosen to ‘cancel’ any particular
show. WPRB is a free-format station. There are no restrictions on
what DJs broadcast. Marvin still
has free rein over the content.”
Good point. Why can’t Rosen
shoehorn his avant garde music into his remaining five hours?
Another online correspondent
offered this argument: “I must assume that you might not know the
distinction between the other music played on Wednesdays [from 6
to 11 a.m.] and avant-garde [played
from 11 to 1 p.m.] — the most misunderstood and underplayed
genre, that is avoided by most radio
programmers or hidden in middle
of night so stations might claim
that ‘we play all kinds of music.’
“So for avant-garde music aficionados, it is big deal, and Stockhausen at 10 a.m. will be a sure way
to make most other listeners switch
to the sweet classical warhorses
played by most NPR radio stations.
This would be like playing rap music in a country and western show.”
(The reference is to Karlheinz
Stockhausen, described in a 2007
obituary as “the great German
composer who envisioned music
as a force of cosmic revolution.”)

arbara Fox’s piece on the
Curtis Webster/Lisa McGraw matter was not a small item. In fact it
was the cover story in the January
30 issue. Some of the people posting online comments might have
benefited from a closer reading of
the original article. “It is very apparent to me that her son has wasted her money the entire time she
was under his ‘care.’ He is obviously selfish and greedy, and she
wants nothing to do with him, most
likely because he did something to
hurt her or terrify her. Leave her
alone! She is done with you!”
But another reader noted Lisa
Webster’s “statements” against her
son Curtis were all made while she
was under the roof of (and possibly
under the influence of) relatives
who had many reasons to benefit
from a rift between her and her son.
“The mean-spirited commenters
here clearly have no knowledge of
the situation or of the kind of person Curtis is, or of his mother’s pliable personality. Or worse, they
have been planted by his haters.
Why else would Lisa’s friends be
urged not to weigh-in?”
I thought back to the divisions in
my own family, when my father
was in declining health and his five
children had sometimes opposing
views of what should be done.
To my thinking even if the extended family of Lisa Webster have
the most noble reasons for reuniting with the elderly heiress, they
nevertheless are guilty of some bad
judgment: Cutting the woman off
from certain family members and
old friends; replacing longstanding
financial advisers; changing the
power of attorney; rewriting the
terms of various foundations and
financial agreements all look bad.
If for no other reason than it looks
bad, it might be best not to do it.
If you know someone on the
edge of old age who wants a
smooth transition to the next generation, you might gather them all
around and have them read some of
the Webster story, or the sidebar on
the Hamilton family of modest
means going through a similar ordeal. Have them read it. Read it
thoroughly. Better yet, have them
read it aloud.
