n a very short time the West
Windsor Arts Center has emerged
as a thriving cultural destination.
Here’s proof: 1,000 celebrants at
the Art Center’s opening; a standing-room audience of 200 at the
premiere of the Glen Acres documentary, calling for a second
showing; more than 250 people at
a recent art opening, then 80 people at a related gallery talk; and
175 young adults engaged in an
“open mic” evening. These are just
a few of the events that brought out
enthusiastic attendees.
The success of the West Windsor Arts Council’s mission is due
to the support of the community
and the hard work of our many volunteers and dedicated staff members. However, the commitment
for continued success is never
over. For this reason, the West
Windsor Arts Council announces
the start of the Annual Fund 2011
campaign.
Your support will allow us to
continue to present an appealing
menu of cultural experiences.

ESSAYS & SOLILOQUIES
quarter of a century working with homeless and vulnerable
families in Central New Jersey
gives Liz Murray’s message in her
inspirational book, “Breaking
Night: My Journey from Homeless
to Harvard,” a special meaning to
me and to the other people of
HomeFront. We started out as a
group of volunteers collecting and
delivering food to families living in
the “welfare motels” on the Route
1 corridor. We moved to providing
shelter—and, eventually, affordable housing. We developed a network of programs that help both
adults and children from vulnerable families complete their education, develop employment skills
and get jobs. In short, we moved
from providing food and shelter to
helping people change their lives,
as Murray changed hers (U.S. 1,
April 6).
Murray will speak to the members of HomeFront’s Women’s Initiative on Sunday, May 15, at 12:30
p.m. at the Nassau Inn. Cost: $25.
Call 609-989-9417.
The Women’s Initiative is a
group of more than 500 women
who support our homeless families
in their path to self-sufficiency. In
some cases, their entire family is
involved. It is an energetic, positive group of women, young and
old, committed to helping others.
I have learned a series of lessons
from the thousands of people who
have passed through our front door.
Everyone has potential. It is never
entirely too late to turn your life
around. And, finally, nobody
makes it alone. We all need a
strong, supportive community to
realize our dreams. We have
worked hard, for many years, to
provide that community.
Not that everyone can graduate
from Harvard, write a bestselling
book and have a movie made about
their life. We are not all Liz Murray. HomeFront has thousands of
stories of ordinary people who
have emerged from the same desolation Murray experienced to build
healthy, positive, productive lives
for themselves and their families.
HomeFront found Angel Bey in
one of the welfare motels. She had
missed three years of school following her mentally ill mother
around the country. HomeFront
arranged treatment for her mother.
Supported by a volunteer tutor
form Mathematica Policy Research who stuck with her for 10
years, she earned her high school
degree and, eventually, an MA in
nursing from Walden University.
She is currently working at Lincoln
Technical Institute training the
next generation of nurses — and
planning to continue her education
and get her PhD. She will also be
honored at the Women’s Initiative
meeting.

HomeFront celebrate its
successes May 15 at
the Nassau Inn.
Emily Lewis, another former
client, came to us when she was 20
years old. She had not graduated
from high school. She was in rehabilitation for drugs and alcohol.
She was on welfare and in an abusive relationship. She had a baby.
The death of a friend from a drug
overdose and the encouragement
of her mother motivated her to
change her life. She got her GED
through HomeFront’s WorkFirst
program. Her participation in the
ArtSpace program revealed her
natural artistic talent. She eventually became a Bonner volunteer at
ArtSpace.
Emily took her SAT in 2009 and
is currently on full scholarship at
Parsons School of Design at the
New School, one of the most prestigious art programs in the country.
HomeFront stays in touch with her
and her daughter, offering continuing support. Last week she delighted us with news that she had aced
her first year.
We have so many of these stories—young people completing
their education successfully, getting jobs, excelling at sports, building careers. I would ask you to take
a moment to consider what a
tragedy it would be if they had
failed to achieve their potential.
We see potential in each individual who passes through our door.
Efforts such as our Women’s Initiative, with strong leadership from
Lisa Smukler, Amy Vogel, and other WI Advisory Board members,
help us nurture talent, push for
higher education, and improve job
skills. The WI efforts, those of other committed HomeFront volunteers, and the hard work of our staff
come together to create these powerful stories of success. It is, I
think, what motivates all of us. Nobody does it alone.

with us, visit www.homefrontnj.org.

that has assisted homeless families
and children since 1989.

A Quick(Books) Way
To Impress Angels
N
ew Jersey is a magnet for
high-tech entrepreneurs and startup companies, and many of these
entrepreneurs are experts in computer programming and software
development. But when it comes to
raising money from venture capitalists and angel investors, the best
way to impress may come from
two much more humble pieces of
software: Quickbooks and Microsoft Excel.
“The standard reports that can
be developed using these two
pieces of software are a potent tool
to use when talking to potential investors,” says Jaime Campbell, a
CPA and certified expert in Quickbooks and a number of other software programs. “Understanding
how to use these tools will help an
entrepreneur show investors that
he understands his product and has
a grasp of the business financials
needed to run a successful company.”
Campbell and Douglas C.
Smith, both of Bartolomei Pucciarelli in Lawrenceville, will present
“Essential Capital-Raising Tools:
Quickbooks and Excel” at the next
meeting of the New Jersey Entreprenuer’s Forum on Thursday,
May 12, at 5 p.m. at the Commer-
cialization Center for Innovative
Technologies in North Brunswick.
Cost: $40. For reservations, E-mail
[email protected].
Smith, a partner at Bartolomei
Pucciarelli, joined the accounting
firm in 1994 after two years in industry accounting with an international company. He graduated
from Bentley College in 1992 with
a bachelor’s in accounting and became a CPA in 1995.
Teaching others how to better
use programs such as Quickbooks
and Excel is right up Campbell’s
alley. In fact, teaching is her first
passion. “I was born to teach,” she
says. Accounting is her second career; her first was as an elementary
music teacher.
A Florida native, she earned a
bachelor’s degree in music education from Florida State University
in 1997 and taught for 10 years.
She began her study of accounting
“to exercise the left side of my
brain,” she says, but in fact, both
For all the financial
software out there,
QuickBooks and Excel are still ideal for
tracking money.
music and numbers have always
been her two passions. “I began
taking piano lessons when I was
five and I was in the accelerated
math program since fifth grade,”
she says.
Her parents were both surprised,
however, when she switched careers mid-stream. “My father was
an accountant,” Campbell says.
“He was surprised when I left
teaching for accounting, but he was
pleased. My mother was also surprised, but she wasn’t as pleased.
She had seen me teach and knew
that I am a gifted teacher. But, no
matter what my career, I will always be teaching.”
After moving to New Jersey she
went back to school and received
an MBA in accounting from Rut-
gers in 2003. She obtained her CPA
accreditation in 2005. At Bartolomei Pucciarelli she assists with
team training and coaching clients
through QuickBooks issues. She is
a Certified QuickBooks Professional Advisor as well as a Microsoft Certified Master.
Validate your statements.
“The elegance and simplicity of
using the tools available through
Quickbooks and Excel really excites investors,” says Campbell.
The software allows business owners and entrepreneurs the ability to
easily set up balance sheets, cash
flow and income statements, and
reports, such as sales summaries
and payroll charts. They also show
the relationships between the various aspects of a business.
Together the two software programs can give a complete picture
of a company. “Quickbooks is historical,” Campbell says. “It shows
what the company has done in the
past. It is particularly good for an
existing company that is looking
for investors to help with expansion.”
Excel, on the other hand, is the
tool to use when illustrating future
predictions for business growth.
Set up assumptions, then
change them. The “assumptions”
that can be made are the heart and
soul of the two tools, Campbell
says. “You can use these programs
to set up assumptions about your
business, then link everything so
that your investors can easily
change those assumptions and instantly see the new results.”
For example, a start-up company might be predicting a sales
growth rate of 25 percent per year
over five years in its presentation to
a group of venture capitalists. All
of the company’s financial forecasts will then be based on that assumption. “Obviously, if your
business is growing that quickly
you will need additional employees, additional supplies, and additional marketing to sustain that
growth,” says Campbell. With the

uilding permits are
generally required for any
project that will involve
construction or substantial
electrical, plumbing, or
mechanical work in New
Jersey.The building permit
approval process protects you,
your family and your property
from safety hazards, personal
injuries and property damages.
Building permits are issued to
licensed contractors for
proposed work to your home
that the town has deemed to
require a formal permit approval
process.
If any contractor performs
any home improvement work
without having first received
permit approval, then such
contractor has violated not only
local law but also the New
Jersey Consumer Fraud Act
(the "Act") N.J.A.C. 13:45A16.2(a), 10. Many home
improvement contractors violate
the Act because they begin
work on homes (1) prior to
receiving permit approval, (2)
after being denied a permit, or
(3) without having applied for
the permit whatsoever. Also,
working without a required
permit can subject you, the
homeowner, to fines and
penalties from local government
and may leave the project
incomplete.
If your home is damaged by
a contractor or the work needs
to be redone and that contractor
did not receive permit approval
for the work prior to beginning
such work, then you may be
entitled to triple damages (3
times the amount of cost to
repair or redo the work), plus
attorneys' fees for the lawsuit
against the contractor. If your
by Darren M. Baldo, Esq., CPA, LLM
home has been damaged, then
you just have to prove that the
contractor's failure to obtain
permits caused the damage. In
Cox v. Sears Roebuck & Co.,
138 N.J. 2 (1994), the court
found that a contractor who
agreed to perform home
improvement work on a
consumer's residence violated
the Act by failing to obtain
necessary permits, with the
result that the contractor was
allowed to perform in a
substandard manner with no
government supervision or
inspection.
As stated by the New Jersey
Supreme Court in Cox v. Sears
Roebuck & Co., "by beginning
work without checking for
permits, [Sears] disregarded the
regulation and therefore violated
the Act. Moreover, once a
permit is obtained, a code
inspector will inspect the
residence periodically and issue
a Certificate of Continued
Occupancy to conform to the
municipality's inspection
process. Because no permit
was ever issued for the home,
no inspections took place and
no certificate was issued… Had
all applicable permits been
obtained before Sears began
work, the issued permits would
have triggered periodic
inspections of the renovations.
An inspector would have
detected any substandard
electrical wiring or cabinet work
and would not have permitted
the work to progress or have
issued the required certificates
until Sears corrected the
deficiencies. Because the
inspections did not occur, the
wiring remained unsafe, the
cabinets remained unattractive
and both resulted in a loss
measured by the cost of
repairing those conditions."
Permits are required for (1)
new homes, (2) additions to
homes, (3) remodeling homes,
(4) decks, (5) sheds, (6) tree
houses, and (7) detached
garages. Permits may be
required for: (1) new
dishwasher, (2) hot water
heaters, (3) fireplace, (4) siding,
(5) roofing, and (6) fences.
Permits are generally not
required for (1) painting, (2)
carpeting, (3) tiling, or (4) wood
flooring, unless the subflooring
or other structure is modified.
Whether a permit is required for
any of the foregoing items
depends upon the regulations of
each township and the size of
the project.

tools in these two software programs, charts, statistics and graphs
can be set up to interconnect and
show the additional revenue and
the additional expenses needed
each year as the company grows.
While this 25 percent growth
rate may look great in a PowerPoint presentation, what if the potential investors question the company’s numbers? What if they
think a 15 or 10 percent growth rate
is more realistic? “That’s where the
beauty of the programs comes in,”
says Campbell. “Everything can be
set up to interconnect. You change
one assumption in the program and
your statistics instantly change.”
Obviously, if you have slower
sales, you will need a smaller staff.
The change in payroll from additional staff will instantly change on
your computer screen so that your
investors can see the new predictions. “The ability to make these
changes on the fly and instantly
come up with new statistics is what
will wow your investors,” says
Campbell. “Financial people love
the ability to make new assumptions, change the models, and see
the new numbers.”
There are even more “bells and
whistles” in both of the software
programs that can take a financial
presentation from boring to wow.
“You can express things visually in
charts and graphs. You can have arrows and dropdown boxes. You
can connect to websites. Not
everyone can quickly and easily
comprehend statistics from just a
spreadsheet,” she says.
Campbell continues: “When I
do this type of presentation I call
people up to the computer and let
them make the changes themselves. They show up on the big
screen for everyone to see.” She
says this gives entrepreneurs a feel
for how this type of presentation
can impress their investors and
makes them comfortable using the
tools themselves.
“You can’t launch into the future
without knowing the past,” Campbell says. “These two tools let businesses do just that.”

oes your business day feel
confused? Everything always
swirling in change and laden with
stress? “Well, send your boss to
me,” says Stephen Payne, founder
of A New Equilibrium. An international business leadership consultant, Payne knows that leadership
rolls downhill, and that the executive is useless who cannot first lead
himself from within.
To guide professionals down the
path between inner, personal
growth, and workplace executive
success, the Princeton Theological
Seminary’s School of Christian
Vocation and Mission has invited A
New Equilibrium’s training team
to present “The Leadership and
Spirituality Summit,” a two-day
retreat that runs from Sunday, May
15, at 4:30 p.m. until the afternoon
of Monday, May 16, at the Seminary’s Erdman Center for Continuing Education, 20 Library Place.
Cost: $85. Visit www.anewequilibrium.org.
Speakers will include Payne;
Sharon D’Agostino, vice president of Johnson & Johnson’s
Worldwide Corporate Contributions and Community Relations division; and James Wood, senior
vice president of corporate strategy
for the Clemens Family Corporation.
Payne calls himself an ex-CEO
on a mission. He wants every executive to achieve the very best results from the leadership journey.
And to do that, he is delving into
the very inner core of his clients.
Payne grew up in a family of
gun makers and engineers in Birmingham, England. His great-grandfather sailed from Britain hoping to
make guns for America’s Civil
War. Taking himself out of the family trade, Payne entered Aston University, earning a bachelor’s in
1969, and later a Ph.D. in chemical
engineering.
Payne began consulting work
for London-based PA Consulting.
After providing managerial guidance to firms in Paris he was sent to
Huntington, West Virginia, to help
guide that region’s CSS Railroad.
Undaunted by the culture sock,
Payne rose to be CEO of PA Consulting.
In l994, after descending into
his own valley of despair, Payne
emerged with an epiphany and
founded the firm Leadership
Strategies, 140 Hunt Drive, to
MAY 11, 2011
guide the managing heads of Fortune 100 corporations. Seeing the
need to bring spirituality into the
workplace, Payne recently founded A New Equilibrium and has
written three books (U.S. 1, April
7, 2010).
“The real problem with so much
of today’s leadership guides,
books, and seminars,” says Payne,
“is that they are not grounded in
any human, spiritual center.” The
advice for leaders becomes a chore
list of best practices and fix-it
steps. However, leaders are not
likely to follow somebody’s success checklist without defined core
principles that rationally involve
them as individuals. That is, they
need to have their own spirit mentoring them from within.
“The walls are crumbling,” says
Payne. “Businesses are no longer
banishing one’s inner, spiritual self
out of the office, onto one’s own
time.” The reason is simple: business is a pragmatic gobbler of any
tool that works. If setting their executives on a journey of spiritual
growth will boost production,
draw top talent, set a more energized atmosphere, and increase
sales, companies will grab at it
gleefully. However, applied spirituality is, at best, amorphous, and
leaders are more than a little puzzled as to exactly what trip their
firms are urging them to take.
A leap into self. The spiritual
journey on which Payne’s leaders
embark is lifelong. It launches with
a giant leap of pondering some
very personal, seemingly very
non-business questions. Is there a
higher power to which all people
are naturally drawn? Is there a
higher purpose for me as an individual? For all humans, including
my fellow team members? How
can I connect with that spirit and
share it with my fellows? Like any
good business person, Payne is

seeking tools here, and direction.
Such queries about higher powers and life purposes feel akin to
those present in every major religion and house of faith. And certainly, notes Payne, one’s religion
can help greatly in understanding
the distribution and flow of a spiritual power throughout the world
around us. Yet A New Equilibrium
espouses no religion’s specific
tenets. Each leader’s journey and
realizations must be his own. His
faith may provide a walking stick,
but in the end, he can only lead
from his personally divined core
principles.
With more questions and more
searching individual discovery
dawns. The executive can move
forward from a basic sense of self,
connected to a power he seeks increasingly to tap into. He burgeons
into what Payne terms “a spiritually intentional leader.” The old tasks
take on meaning and hold fulfillment. The old laundry list of best
practices becomes an array of suggestions that he may judge and select. It is natural that the newly
aligned leader brings his new spiritual power to that realm where he
commits so much of his time and
emotion.
Calm challenges. After your
spiritual awakening the paperwork
still smothers your desk. No matter
how transcendent you soared at the
seminar, your team still arrives
late, disinterested, and laying
anvils of frustration in your lap.
The good news is that A New Equilibrium has not been a retreat, but
hopefully an armory that has
equipped you to better face the daily stresses of all aspects of life.
“One of the sweetest parts of
this growth,” says Payne, “is that it
is measurable within the business.”
Seven out of ten leaders who have
followed the course claim enormous drops in job and life stress.
They feel more confident in all relationships. And most quantifiable
of all — both sales and production
go up.

“When it comes to the job search,
you’ve got to be positive and upbeat,” he says. This observation
switched on the light bulb over
Himelfarb’s head. He put together
a workshop on selling yourself to
get the job you want.
His next presentation of “Selling You Inc.” will be on Tuesday,
May 17, at 8:30 a.m. at the Princeton Public Library. This event is
free. Visit www.sellingyou.eventbrite.com to register.
Himelfarb grew up in Yonkers,
where his father is a diamond setter
and his mother worked for the
Yonkers Board of Education. After
high school, he attended college in
Buffalo because “the schools there
were as far from home as possible
but still in New York, so I could
take advantage of in-state tuition.”
In 1985 he received both a bachelor’s in physics from Buffalo State
College and a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from the
SUNY Buffalo. In 2010 he received a mini-MBA in digital marketing from Rutgers.
Himelfarb says he was determined to change the world working as an engineer. He soon realized engineering wasn’t his forte.
While working for AT&T Submarine Systems, where he assisted
with the manufacturing and installation of several trans-oceanic
fiber optic telecommunications
projects, the sales department
asked him to conduct presentations. He then moved on to the
sales account team at Hewlett
Packard that was responsible for
supporting AT&T. Being hired at
Hewlett Packard didn’t come easy.
After a series of interviews,
Himelfarb learned that Hewlett
Packard was on a hiring freeze and
that he would have to wait for the
much-coveted sales position. He

eventually landed the job because
of persistence. He called the company on the 15th of every month to
ask if the freeze was lifted. After a
year of this Himelfarb got the job.
“I didn’t let them forget about me
because I was politely persistent,”
he says. “They could have told me
to stop calling.”
If the word “sales” makes you
think of the smarmy salesman who
sold you your first used car, stop.
Selling isn’t evil. “People tell me
they never thought of selling when
it comes to the job search,” he says.
“It’s not hard to make it approachable.”
Whether it’s multi-million dollar computing systems to companies around the world, or consumer
products in a homeowner’s backyard, he enjoys helping his clients
get from where they are to where
they want to be. After working in
freelance sales where “if you aren’t
selling, you aren’t getting paid,”
Himelfarb says he had to find
something else. That’s when he began selling swimming pools for
Anthony & Sylvan Pools in Green
Brook. He did this for two years
before going back to tech sales in a
position at Ocean Computer
Group. He worked there for three
years before being laid off in August.
Tired of hearing the same excuses each time he has been laid off,
Himelfarb decided in August to attend one networking event per day.
His goal: Meet two to four people
per event. While he wanted to meet
as many people as possible, Himel-
farb knew it was unrealistic to have
meaningful conversations with
more than four people. And he
wanted each person he met to remember him when anyone says the
word “sales.” This, he says, is the
key to good networking.
“You want to be the first person
someone recommends when they
hear of an opening in your profession,” he says. “Being in the forefront is the key to branding yourself.”
Himelfarb’s plan worked well
enough to get him his current position as a senior account executive
for Tekmark Global Solutions in
Edison. He sells IT professional
services and staffing.
A main thing to remember when
selling yourself or anything else,
Himelfarb says, is that the customer always comes first. “Customers care only about themselves,” he says. “You have to
know what they want to hear. An
employer doesn’t care that you’ve
been out of work for a year. It’s
never about you. It’s always about
them.”
Himelfarb says that when selling yourself, apply the theories and
techniques of selling you would

use when selling a product or service. “This isn’t rocket science as
some might lead themselves to believe,” he says. “You have to prove
you have something to offer. The
job search revolves around selling
you talents.”
In this social media age, you can
still use old job search techniques
to focus your attention to the job at
hand. Don’t be afraid of LinkedIn
or Facebook, Himelfarb says. It’s
important to mine your connections.
Also, put a different spin on the
activities you currently perform so
you can distinguish yourself from
the other applicants. Make the interviewer feel glad they met you
and wonder how they ever got
along without you.
Himelfarb says that if you’re not
used to selling, this all is a huge
challenge. He tries to quell this
feeling when he’s teaching. Above
all, you must keep an open mind.
“You can’t go in there like a knight
in shining armor,” he says. “I can’t
reiterate enough that it’s not about
you. It’s always about the customer.”

(Hillary Clinton was a freshman in
her dormitory when Rosenberg was
a senior.) After graduating in 1963
with a B.S. in biology, Rosenberg
entered the Ph.D. program at the
University of Pennsylvania, intending to go into research but two years
in, the thought of spending the rest
of her life in a lab with flies and
worms didn’t cut it. “I knew research wasn’t going to be my cup of
tea — so little human interaction,”
says Rosenberg.
Instead she got a job as an editing supervisor at McGraw-Hill in
New York, where she developed
journals in biology and medicine.
As part of her job, she traveled regularly to universities and institutions where she “went to see people
and tried to convince them to write
books like medical textbooks.” She
went to Yale, where she met her future husband, then the chair of human genetics. She wanted him to
write a book on human genetics.

Warm and Fuzzy: Leon
and Diane Rosenberg, left,
in front of their farmhouse
at Meadowgate Farm, a
featured home on the
Lawrenceville Main Street
House Tour, Saturday, May
14. Diane, at right, with
some of her fuzzy charges.
Alexa, was nine, and they bought a house on
two acres on Cherry Hill Road, primarily because it was close to Princeton Day School.
Diane Rosenberg continued to work in
medical publishing, but to be able to spend
more time with her daughter she and an associate started their own company. “We consulted with medical societies with journals
they wanted to get published. We were like
an agent,” says Rosenberg. “I didn’t need to
be in New York anymore.”
One of the first things she did when she
moved to Princeton was get a horse. She also
started working at Heads Up Special Riders,
a horseback riding program for handicapped
children at Hasty Acres in Kingston, started
by Anne Banse. Rosenberg, discouraged after a three-year search for a farm — there was
always something wrong with each one she
looked at — learned that Banse was about to
list her farm in Lawrenceville, because her
husband, who was chief counsel at Merck,
had just died, and she planned to move.
Rosenberg called her and begged her to wait,
to let her see it first. “I came in, and I said,
‘OK, we’ll buy it.’I just knew it was perfect.”
It took her two days to convince her husband, and the house really wasn’t perfect at
all. It just had perfect bones and fields — and
two barns (though one was falling apart.) Before they closed on the sale, Rosenberg
brought in Janet Lasley of Lasley Brahaney
Design and Construction, 860 State Road,
whom she had met when Lasley was working on a house across the street on Cherry
Hill Road. According to Rosenberg, the
farmhouse had been moved farther back
from the road from its original location. (Today, as you drive up the driveway, you first
pass the home of David Crane, CEO of NRG
Energy, and his wife, Isabella de la Houssaye, which shares the same address as
Meadowgate. If you go on the tour, keep
driving all the way to the back.)
R
osenberg says the house was very
chopped up, with lots of walls, small windows, and no porches. “Janet walked into the
living room, and said, ‘It would be great if we
could raise the ceiling. Then she took a car
jack or something and went — boom — and
shoved the jack right into the ceiling.” Then
Lasley deadpanned in her signature no-nonsense way, “OK, I don’t think we can raise it.”
Though they did bring in other architects
to bid on the project, the Rosenbergs ultimately stayed with Lasley Brahaney. Marc
Brahaney, Lasley’s husband and the architect of the firm, was the only one, says
Rosenberg, who had the brilliant idea to remove one of the two staircases, thus opening
up the plan of the first floor significantly. The
six months of renovations commenced in
January, 1996, during which time the Rosenbergs lived in a modular home attached to the
house by a wooden plank walkway.
As part of the extensive renovations,
Lasley Brahaney installed French doors
from the dining room to the deck and did the
same for the living room, creating a seamless
view of the farmland from both rooms. Signs
of the Rosenbergs’ love of eclectic art, antiques, and world travel abound. The living
room features a collection of Kenneth Southworth Davies trompe l’oeil still lifes on the
wall. A set of Honore Daumier classic satiric
lithographs, gifts to Dr. Rosenberg, depicting an unscrupulous, flattering swindler and
profiteer in a medical setting, sits on the fireplace mantel. Of note are a grand piano and a
French cupboard dating to 1680. Katie
Eastridge of Eastridge Design, 6 Highland
Road, Princeton, was the interior decorator.
In the front entry hall, where Winston, the
Rosenberg’s Australian shepherd dog, likes
to greet visitors, a contemporary, handcarved ceramic vessel by sculptor Gretchen
Ewert depicting African leopards riding antelopes sits atop an antique American table,
circa 1775. In the den, the fireplace mantel is
a slab of limestone on which sits a collection
of early 20th century Navajo clay pots and an
antique weathervane in the shape of a horse.
Navajo saddle blankets hang here and
throughout the house, a collection started
when the Rosenbergs bought a third home in
New Mexico (they kept the Guilford, CT,
house as a summer home). Displayed in the

den is an old stone gargoyle head
from an English cathedral built in
the early Middle Ages.
Off the kitchen are a mudroom
and Rosenberg’s office (a room
that was added to the house in the
late 1800s). The walls of the mudroom and downstairs bath are peacock blue created with encaustic
painting, also known as hot wax
painting, which involves using
heated beeswax to which colored
pigments are added. In the office
are several Navajo rugs and a small
oil painting by the Pueblo Indian
Albert Looking Elk Martinez dated
about 1915. A 1790 French dining
table serves as Rosenberg’s desk,
on which is perched a framed photo of a red-footed boobie (yes,
that’s a bird) that Rosenberg took
on a recent trip to the Galapagos.
The master bedroom upstairs has
vaulted ceilings and overlooks the
fields. The room has an antique
physician’s cabinet and a customcrafted four-poster bed. The bed and
chest are made of tiger maple. Nineteenth-century Japanese Hiroshige
wood block prints and an old, Russian icon adorn the bedroom walls.
The master bathroom was once a
bedroom. It now has a large, walk-in
shower and tub. On the subway tile
walls are displayed a large wall
hanging from Botswana and little
animals from the Galapagos, Turkey, India, and Africa.
Meadowgate’s 120 alpacas are
housed in the property’s two barns.
In 1997 the Rosenbergs replaced
one deteriorating barn with an early 19th century structure that once
stood on the Kirkbride Farm in
Newtown, PA. The Rosenbergs
bought the hand-hewn beams and
internal pieces from the New Jersey Barn Company and hired Lasley Brahaney to reassemble the
skeleton while designing space for
female alpacas, the farm’s office,
and an apartment. The barn now
has solar panels on its roof. Lasley
Brahaney also put on an addition to
the barn to serve as Meadowgate’s
main office. Literally undreds of
red and blue ribbons the Rosenbergs’ alpacas have won adorn the
walls.
S
o, what about those alpacas?
“I wanted to raise something: we
had two barns and fields. The previous owner had kept horses. And
we had a farmland assessment that
we didn’t want to lose,” says
Rosenberg. “Someone at BristolMyers Squibb told me about alpacas and an alpaca farm in Stockton, and said they were easy to take
care of. They aren’t huge and don’t
have all sort of ailments like horses
do, and they come when they are
called, unlike cows.” Rosenberg
visited the Stockton farm and
bought two females (one pregnant)
and two geldings.
“They were so easy to take care
of. I took care of them myself,”
says Rosenberg. “I thought, I could
have more, so every time my husband would go out of town, I would
get a couple of new ones, and I’d
wait to see how long it took him to
notice. It was textbook simple to
deliver a baby. So we got herd sires
(kept in a separate pen), and started
going to alpaca shows. First we
sold one or two, and it went from
there. The money is in raising and
selling the animals, not the fleece.
It just started rolling along.”
As Meadowgate’s alpaca population started to grow, it became
clear Rosenberg would need help.
She hired Rich Maurer, who had
worked as construction manager
for Lasley Brahaney and wanted to
move on from construction. When
the Rosenbergs purchased another
farm, a 20-acre property in West

Raising the Barn: In 1997 the Rosenbergs
replaced an aging barn with an early 19th century
barn purchased through the New Jersey Barn
Company and reconstructed by Lasley Brahaney.
Amwell, Maurer became the facilities manager, and his wife, Tammi,
became Rosenberg’s personal assistant and helper on the farms. The
Maurers then built a house on the
West Amwell farm.
The connections between the
Lasley-Brahaneys and the Rosenbergs are indeed deep-seated.
While working on the Rosenberg
project, in November, 1997, just
after the birth of her second child,
Lasley was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma, an extremely rare
form of cancer. “When Leon heard
about it,” says Rosenberg, “he realized how serious it was right away
and helped her plan initially what
kind of treatment she would have
and where she would go.” Lasley,

on May 13, 2010), while those with
her type of cancer typically die
within a year or two.
“They were practically family
by this time,” says Rosenberg.
“The irony was that when my
daughter was 16, she got Hodgkin’s lymphoma. One day she said,
‘dad, I have this knot in my neck,’
and the next day we were at CHOP
(Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia). Years ago that would have
been a death sentence, but she was
very early stage. Through her junior year in high school, she had
chemotherapy and radiation. We
knew she was going to get better.

50 Years of Success: Weidel Associate Mary Louise McCabe
W
eidel Broker-Associate
Mary Louise McCabe
recently celebrated 50
years in real estate; the last 30 of
which have been with Weidel
Realtors. At a recent Q&A session, she shared the following information about her life as a Realtor and her experiences with
the industry.
Please tell us about yourself. My name is Mary Louise
McCabe but I'm "Mary Lou" to
everybody. I am a licensed Appraiser and hold a Real Estate
Broker's License in New Jersey. I
serve clients throughout Mercer,
Hunterdon and Burlington Counties and recently celebrated 50
years in Real Estate.
What was your first job and
how did you get started in real
estate?
My first job was as a waitress
at "The Dog House" restaurant
on River Road in Ewing Township, which unfortunately is no
longer open. I started in real estate in 1961 to help my husband
who had been licensed since
1958. We worked at Lombardo
Real Estate on US Route 1 under the guidance of Broker-Owner Mario Lombardo.
How did you come to join
Weidel? I knew Weidel to be a
progressive company with a
good reputation from my time in
the industry but it was Earl Sneddon, General Manager, who convinced me to join. He was a
friend of the family and knew I
was licensed in real estate so the
recruiting began early on.
How has the business
changed over the years? Certainly the prices have changed.
Homes that sold for $6,000 in the
1960's would sell for $300,000
today, even in this market correction we've been experiencing the
last few years. And there weren't
rules or laws about inspections
so deals seemed to happen a lot
faster. The overall sale was a lot
simpler and personal involvement by both Buyers and Sellers
was important — it wasn't
viewed so much as an 'investment' as it was a 'home' where
they could live and raise a family.
With the market
constantly changing,
how have you stayed
successful over the
years? Most of my
business comes from
referrals. Former
clients and their children contact me when
they are looking to buy
or sell based on our
past relationships. So
much of it is word-ofmouth too. I make sure
all my friends, family,
neighbors and association members know
that I'm in real estate and can
help with any needs. Its something I've done consistently over
the years and it really helps.
What 'tools' are critical to
success for a Real Estate Associate? Personality has a lot to
do with the level of success. If
you are honest and hard working, you will succeed. This is a
relationship business and always
has been. It takes a particular

do with the level of success. If you are honest
and hard working, you
will succeed. This is a relationship business and
always has been.
style to promote yourself while
maintaining a professional image
and cooperation with other Realtors is very important.
What are clients' concerns
these days? Most of the concerns are about price, affordability and the ability to secure a
loan. The changes in the real estate and mortgage industries
have made it more difficult to secure the proper financing and
there can be inspection issues
that disrupt the deal. Buyers are
watching interest rates very
carefully and Sellers are researching comparable properties
in their area. This is where a licensed Real Estate Associate is
key; to help navigate the client
Richard A. Weidel congratulates Mary Lou
McCabe for 30 years
with the company
through the obstacles that will
occur along the way.
What do you see for the future of the real estate industry? Prices and interest rates will
eventually rise but not just yet.
The market correction is still
working towards a balance and
as the job market improves more
people will be able to afford the
home of their dreams. Right now
the uncertainty in the job market
has led to a reduction in business but this too will improve.
What is your favorite thing
about real estate? The flexible
hours, the people you meet and
the friends you make along the
way. Plus the income potential is
only limited to how hard you want
to work.
Any advice for those looking to enter real estate as a career? Be honest, ready to work
hard and willing to put in the
hours. Meet the public and let
them know you're in real estate.
Hold Open Houses so you can
interact directly with prospects.
Don't be afraid to ask for help if
you need it. It's really about
knowing the basics and building
on that.

real estate, please call 1-800WEIDEL-1 (800-934-3351) or

he first model home at
Windsor Cove received a
grand welcome on Saturday, April 14, as East Windsor
Mayor Janice Mironov, along
with members of the East Windsor Township Council, joined executives from develope r Pulte
Homes for a ribbon cutting-ceremony to celebrate the unveiling
of the community’s first model

The opening of the fully furnished Westford model home
marks an important milestone,
as Pulte Homes, one of the
award-winning brands of PulteGroup, Inc., continues to develop Windsor Cove into the premier single-family new home
community in Mercer County.
Priced from $469,900, the

beautifully crafted homes ranging from 2,606 to 2,934 square
feet of open living space that is

train station," stated Paul
Schneier, president of PulteGroup's Metro NY/NJ Division.
"It’s a perfect community for
young families who desire a quiet suburban atmosphere, yet
don’t want to be too far away
from area conveniences.”
All three home designs offer
four bedrooms and up to three
and a half bathrooms, full basement and two-car garage.
Each boasts an elegant twostory entry foyer with hardwood
flooring, a formal dining room
with an optional tray ceiling, and
an optional family room fireplace that cascades into the

ble tops, soaking tub, separate
commode and shower.
Homeowners can further personalize their homes with an optional guest suite or game room

Healthy Woman’s Forum For Princeton-Area Women on June 1
N
BC's Today Show anchor,
Meredith Vieira, will be
the guest moderator at
the Healthy Woman's Forum,
June 1, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at
the Princeton Westin Hotel. She
will join a distinguished group of
physicians and mental health experts from throughout the greater
Princeton area who will participate in an interactive forum designed to focus on women's
health. The event will be featured on an upcoming segment
of The Today Show.
The theme of the forum is
"Changing Your Life for a Healthier Future; It's About Time!" The
goal is for women to gain greater
awareness and knowledge and
learn healthy practices that can
enrich their lives during critical
transitions from their 30s into
their 80s. "It's about taking the
time to care for their physical and
mental health needs," one of the
forum's two organizers, Joyce
Hofmann explains. Hofmann is
president of the Princeton-based
Weight Loss Corp.
"We want to bring women together of all ages and have a
conversation about our own
health-related experiences,"
says Dr. Sharon Rose Powell, a
co-organizer of the event. Powell
is a psychologist and founder of
Princeton Psychological Partners. Other sponsors for the
June 1 forum are the Princeton
Regional Chamber of Commerce
and Princeton Sports and Family
Medicine.
One of the main differences
between this event and other
conferences is
that all of the participants will have
an opportunity not
only to listen and
ask questions
during the morning workshops,
but to engage in a
dialogue with
each other. "We
have designed an
interactive event,"
says Powell. "This

dam Immerwahr has
directed Shakespearean theater. He has worked with the
Public Theater in New York,
currently serves as the associate producer at McCarter Theater, and as the resident director of Passage Theater in
Trenton.
But nothing, he says, has
given him more satisfaction
than working with the 13 men
and women aged from 60 to
close to 90 who make up the
troupe of CWW On Stage, a
Princeton-based ensemble of
senior community players
whose monologues and skits
stem from material based on
local lives and oral histories.
The CWW part refers to the
group’s sponsor, Community
Without Walls, a Princetonbased association of individuals
and couples that seeks ways to “enhance the ability of its members to
age well, to assist its members in
acquiring the knowledge that will
enable them to make the choices
that they will need as they age.”
Support has also come from Secure
@Home, an arm of Jewish Family
and Children’s Service of Greater
Mercer County, which provides
services for seniors who wish to remain in their own homes for as
long as possible.
“To watch a bunch of retired
people creating work, learning
lines, learning new theater skills,
learning how to use their bodies
and voices and imaginations in
new ways — that is healthy aging,”
says Immerwahr.
Fran Benson, a Princeton resident, is one of the founders of the
group. She got the idea after taking
some classes at Stage Bridge in
Berkeley, CA, now in its 30th year
as a senior theater company.
“When I came back here in January, 2008,” she says, “I got in touch
with Rob Hutter, who was running
a theater group out of Temple University. He came up and did a
workshop and an eight-week class
in the spring of 2008. That was an
expensive proposition, paying
Rob’s travel expenses, and having
him schlep all the way up here. So
we looked around, and our second
director, Susan Garrett, worked
with us for a year, during which we
really began to find our form,
which was collecting stories.”
The group’s first presentation
was titled, appropriately, “First
Jobs.” The members interviewed
each other and outsiders to come
up with material that was at times
funny, sad, and moving, and that
audiences easily related to. After
all, who hasn’t had the first job jitters or that memorable first job
boss? CWW On Stage felt like they
were on to something.
When Garrett moved to Maine,
and they needed a new director
Benson. called Lisa Patterson at
McCarter. “She said she would ask
Adam if he knew anyone,” says
benson, “and he said, ‘I am.’ That
was a wonderful moment.”
Says Immerwahr: “We had a series of meetings to find out if it was
a good fit. I came in, and we started
immediately developing our next
piece ‘Thriving, Not Just Surviving,’ which is a piece about healthy
aging. We don’t perform exclusively for seniors, but they make up
a large part of our audience. This is
a version of aging that perhaps you
haven’t seen. There are so many set
ideas we have about how we look
at seniors in our culture. I think our
mission is to collect and perform
stories of our community. There’s
something important about what
do we do that’s different than other
theaters. There’s something very

beautiful about watching people
performing, word for word, stories
that were gathered.
“We divide our year into three
segments. One segment is training,
where we spend all of our rehearsal
time working on acting techniques
and tools that an actor might need.
Another third of our year is spent
on the creation of our new piece.
We do a series of exercises to elicit
stories from within the group, we
go outside and conduct interviews,
and we brainstorm and improv and
try to create text for the piece. And
then about a third of our year is
spent in rehearsal — we have our
piece, and now we’re trying to put
it together. So while none of these
people are professional actors, they
are going through an extensive
training process.
“This year we gathered a piece,
‘About Family,’ which we are re-

Adam Immerwahr.
hearsing now and are going to perform shortly. We are looking at the
family through a multi-faceted
prism, through the lens of someone
who has adopted a child, through a
same-sex couple, through someone who lives in a neighborhood
that a lot of people think of as a
family — but she doesn’t. We have
a story from someone who is part
of a group and is taking care of an
invalid who has in some ways become a family.
‘T
he show has 13 monologues, six scenes, incorporating
every actor. At any given performance we might not be doing all
monologues or all six scenes. It’s a
very wide range of ways of looking
at this concept of family and what it
means. It’s very humorous, and
meaningful, and impactful.”
Right now, the group includes
11 women and a couple of guys.
“We would love to have more men
in the group,” says Benson. “I want
to invite the men of central New
Jersey to take the risk. My husband
is a physicist, and he loves the
group. It’s so different from what
he usually does.”
CWW On Stage will perform on
Tuesday, May 17, at the Princeton
Senior Resource Center in the
Suzanne Patterson Center, 45
Stockton Street, and on Tuesday,
May 24, at the Robert Wood Johnson Center for Health and Wellness, 3100 Quakerbridge Road,
Mercerville. The group is holding a
workshop, “Seniors on Stage” on
Saturday, June 11, at the Friends
Center in Princeton. The ensemble
is also working on a piece with
high school and middle school students, using their same interview
techniques.
As much as the members of the
group are enjoying themselves and
learning from Immerwahr and
each other, it could be that their director is taking away much more
than he is giving. “I have been incredibly stimulated and challenged
and engaged by the way this group
of artists has entered into the concept. They’re so dedicated and so
honest and so engaged in the work,
and committed to reflecting their
community, and to making work
that’s honest. And to getting it
right. For me, the greatest experience has been watching them form
a true ensemble. It’s very exciting,” says Immerwahr.
Lifelong Creativity Fest, Tuesday, May 17, 1 p.m., Suzanne Patterson Center, Monument Drive,
609-924-7108. CWW On Stage
will perform a selection from its
performance “About Family.” The
Lifelong Creativity Fest is an afternoon celebration of the visual and

drama, and poetry, as well as a
wine and cheese reception and a
community art show.
Also, Senior Health and Fitness Day, Tuesday, May 24, 1

Health and Wellness, Quakerbridge Road, Hamilton, 609-6316819. CWW On Stage will perform selections from “Not Just

Five Forms of Parenting
QUESTION: Are there basic
types of parenting that are good
or bad? I mean, what is healthy
parenting?
ANSWER: Over the years I
have been able to distinguish
five forms of parenting; the first
four are bad, the last good.
1.
NEGLECTFUL/ABUSIVE PARENTING: Some parents, having difficulty being loved
by adults, see children as a safe
way to receive all the love that
they want. When such unrealistic
expectations collide with cries
around the clock for feedings
and diaper changes, this overly
insecure person could allow
anger to escalate from neglect to
abuse.
2.
OVERPROTECTIVE
PARENTING: The anxious parent who runs out the back door to
settle every childish squabble or
who daily walks their eighth
grader to school unwittingly communicates a sense of weakness
in the child, who gradually becomes more scared of doing
things independently.
3.
OVERCRITICAL PARENTING: Wanting a child to succeed may lead to pushing the

child too hard, conveying the
message that love is conditional
upon getting an A, hitting a home
run, or making varsity cheerleading.
4.
OVERPERMISSIVE
PARENTING: Not wanting to
hamper the creativity of the child,
or perhaps fearing that firm rules
may cause the child to reject the
parent, some parents give children an alarming sense of power. Not having to suffer normal
consequences, the child may
feel entitled to favors, exploit
friends, or become a discipline
problem.
5.
HEALTHY PARENTING: This is essentially the opposite of the first four. Parents
should be caring instead of neglectful, promote autonomy instead of dependence, provide
unconditional instead of conditional love, and set realistic limits
and guidelines.
Finally, we need to mix in a
pinch of common sense to my ingredients. What makes 1-4 unhealthy is that they are patterns,

Review: ‘Sleeping Beauty Wakes’
M
ost of us are acquainted with the fabled fairy tale about
the princess who, along with
everyone else in that particular
kingdom long ago and far away, is
put to sleep at age 16 for a very
long time because of a spell cast by
a vengeful fairy who wasn’t invited
to the princess’s christening. There
is a clause, however, that states the
spell can be broken if the princess
is kissed by a prince.
In contemporary musical and
narrative terms by Rachel Sheinkin
(book), Brendan Milburn (music),
Valerie Vigoda (lyrics), and Rebecca Taichman (direction), the fairy
tale resurfaces with naturalistic
whimsy in a present-day sleep disorders clinic. Under an aura of psychoneurotic
disenchantment,
“Sleeping Beauty Wakes,” but
without enough get-up-and-go.
Those who have seen and can recall the beguiling 2006 production
of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,”
as co-produced by the McCarter
Theater and Paper Mill Playhouse,
may recognize the fancifully articulated style of rock that defines the
music of Milburn and Vigoda,
members of the band Groovelily,
the ensemble that was delightfully
integrated into “Midsummer” (as
directed by Tina Landau.)
Taichman has not yet gotten to
the place in “Sleeping Beauty
Wakes” where this musical’s flights
of fantasy are either gainfully or excitingly entwined with the show’s
contrasting digressions into reality.
The sense of the unexpected is
missing in the staging as is an element of surprise in Sheinkin’s book.
I kept wishing that Taichman could
take every aspect and element of the
production just one step further into
the surreal. There seems to be a directorial initiative to keep the performances low-key to the extreme,
a decision that keeps the essentially
one-dimensional characters rooted
in abstraction.
Decidedly an allegory, the story
is simple and clever enough. King
(Bob Stillman), although distraught and weary, has not given up
hope that his daughter Rose, also
called Beauty (Aspen Vincent),
may some day awake. King admits
to the dismayingly disinterested
Doctor in charge of the clinic (Kecia Lewis-Evans) that Rose has
been asleep for 900 years. The
Doctor is skeptical: “I analyze
sleep disorders.” When King insists that she has one, the Doctor,
who is inclined to have them
Awake and Sing: Bryce Ryness and Aspen
Vincent. Photo:T. Charles Erickson
thrown out, insists “Not if you
can’t wake her.”
When the Doctor is persuaded
by King (“I pay cash”) to monitor
Rose’s dreams, Rose is placed in a
ward with four patients: Murray
(Steve Judkins) who snores, Hadara (Adinah Alexander) who has
twitching leg syndrome, Leon
(Jimmy Ray Bennett) who can’t fall
sleep except at work; and Cheryl
(Donna Vivino) who fears not being able to wake up. Their problems
are amusingly revealed in a pithy
little ditty “Can You Cure Me.”
They are deployed throughout the
action as participants in Rose’s
dreams, also harmonizing on one
occasion with a refreshing tune,
“Still Small Hour,” sung in the nostalgic style of the Mills Brothers.
Rose is undoubtedly a beauty, as
she reclines comatose in a lovely
party dress of rose petals (as prettily fabricated by costume designer
Miranda Hoffman). Rose’s dreams

take her back to her search for the
spindle on which, true to the story,
she pricked her finger.
M
ore importantly, the clinic’s
apparently only Orderly (a wonderfully eccentric and disarming performance by Bryce Ryness) is seriously narcoleptic among his other
neurological challenges. Of course,
he is smitten by the lovely but unresponsive Rose with whom he nevertheless can cavort with in dreamtime. Is he destined to become her
prince in reality? Are we surprised
that Rose’s over-protective dad
King is at the root of her problems
and appears to be the cause of
Rose’s rebelliousness, unhappiness, and her subconscious decision to escape from life in sleep?
It’s fortunate that a characterdefining song such as “Good for
Me,” in which Rose unleashes her
rage at her father, comes along to
shake up a mild building up of insouciance. In another instance, Kecia Lewis-Evans, who throws away
almost all her spoken lines, miraculously reinvests herself in the show
when she sings. She is also spectacularly re-invented as the Bad Fairy
in a disturbing dream with Rose.
Sheinkin, lauded for her book
for the Tony Award-winning musical “The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee,” has been an
essential collaborator on “Sleeping
Beauty Wakes” since it was originally awakened in a much different
version for the Deaf West/Center
Theater Group in Los Angeles in
2007. Although this musical has
evidently gone through many
changes over the past four years, I
suspect that some more might be in
order to achieve a more engaging
and more entertaining contrast between what the characters dream
and what they and we see as reality.
Doug Verone’s fluid choreography, in particular a dream sequence
in which a hospital bed becomes a
conspiring participant, is a highlight but also underlines the need
for more theatrical invention. It’s
hard to understand why the options
for more fantastical dreaming have
not been explored.
This is a musical of many small
delights, including some pithy declarations (“I don’t know how I’ll
fall asleep without my phone. Usually I surf online for hours before I
can let go of the day”) and just as
many missed opportunities. The
ultra cool white and clinical setting, as evoked by set designer Riccardo Hernandez, allows opportunities for the abstracted projections
designed by Peter Nigrini. One almost longs to see the unseen band,
perhaps as an integral part of the
dream sequences. Taichman, who
dazzled us with her rose-bedecked
staging of Twelfth Night at McCarter in 2009, and for her direction of “Orlando” and “The Scene”
Off Broadway will undoubtedly

ditional landscapes and portraits.
E
The 1920s was the most
productive period of his career,
when he was part of an international avant-garde group of
artists, musicians, designers,
and architects. He worked in
every medium, published four
volumes of poetry and prose,
founded the magazine Merz,
opened a successful advertising business, created theater
sets, wrote plays and children’s books, composed librettos, and would perform publicly.
He was a ravenous collector
of found objects but judicious
in his selection of materials.
The clippings serve as a snapshot of life in Germany in the
late 1910s and 1920s and bear
witness to the urban, bureaucratic, media-saturated environment in which he worked,
according to exhibition materials.
The Merzbau (Merz Construction) in Hanover was
Schwitters’ magnum opus on
which he worked for a decade
and a half. A massive walk-in
sculptural environment in
which the artist worked and
lived with his family, it was a
precursor to installation art and
incorporates architecture, assemblage, collage and painting.
Sadly, what he considered his
life’s achievement was destroyed by Allied bombing in
1943, but happily it has been recreated at the center of the Princeton
University Art Museum. Visitors
can enter it and walk around and
imagine what it might have been
like in the 1930s.
“It crystallized and exemplified
his most important stands of
work,” says Baum. Schwitters invited friends to participate in its
creation.
While walking through the
Merzbau, visitors will hear absurd
sounds coursing through the
gallery. It is a 1940s recording of
Schwitters reciting his Ursonate, a
phonetic poem described as “a
sonata in primordial sounds.”
“He wanted to devise a way to
make sound that was not attached
to meaning,” says Baum. “Like the
Merzbau, it was worked on for
more than a decade and considered
one of his life’s achievements.”
Listening to the recording, and
looking at the photo of an obviously amused Schwitters as he was
producing these sounds, a visitor
can’t help thinking, the Dadaists
had all the fun.

American Voices: 16th Century to Bernstein
C
harles Sundquist appears at Princeton’s All Saints
Episcopal Church conducting Cantus Novus, a Yardley-based choral
ensemble on Sunday, May 15, at 4
p.m. He is no stranger to Princeton
though this is his “debut” appearance with Cantus Novus here. For
16 years, ending in 2008, he appeared Monday through Friday as
director of Princeton High
School’s choral department.
The concert, titled “The American Heritage — A British Legacy,”
presents music from the 16th to the
20th century, beginning with
motets and ending with Leonard
Bernstein. The program is a cappella except for two pieces, one accompanied by organ, one by piano.
Mark Dolan, organist of Yardley’s
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, is
the keyboard collaborator.
Cantus Novus is an auditioned
group of 30-some singers ranging
from young people to seniors. The
demanding ensemble carefully
screens potential members for extensive musical experience and
top-flight musical skills. Singing in
the shower is not enough.
The audition calls for singing a
short prepared solo; the piece may
be an aria, artsong, or folk song.
Pop songs, show tunes, and contemporary religious songs are not
acceptable. Candidates must
demonstrate that they can manage
ascending and descending scales
within a two-octave range and be
able to identify notes sounded in a
three-note chord.
Sundquist is guest conductor for
the trio of concerts in May, taking
over for W. Edward McCall, the
ensemble’s former artistic director,
now director of the St. Michael’s
Choir School in Toronto. The Cantus Novus 2010-’11 season was
planned by McCall before he left
for Canada in December.
In a telephone interview from
his Bucks County home, guest conductor Sundquist says, “When I
was given this concert, I made a
few changes and substituted pieces
that I felt a connection to.” Briefly,
he outlines the upcoming program.
“It will be in historical order. We’ll
do the British pieces first.” Eric
Whitacre’s “Leonardo Dreams of
His Flying Machine” ends the first
part of the program. “He wrote
what he thought Leonardo might
have been thinking,” Sundquist
says. “The intensity builds as
Leonardo is about to leap off the
cliff. It’s a great closer piece [for
the first half] with interesting text
and rhythm. It leaves you wanting
more. You are in suspense, thinking, ‘What’s in the second half?’”
The American conclusion of the
program ends with Leonard Bernstein’s “Make Our Garden Grow.”
“There’s not much you could do afterward,” says Sundquist. “It’s a
big piece.”
Trained as an organist, Sundquist has, nevertheless, spent more
than 30 years as a choral director at
schools and universities. He began
collecting sterling organ credentials in 1979 when he earned a
by Elaine Strauss
bachelor of music degree in organ
performance, magna cum laude,
from the University of Minnesota,
Duluth. In 1981 he harvested a
master of music degree in organ
performance and literature from
the Eastman School of Music in
Rochester, New York. He won a
Prix d’Excellence in organ performance from the Conservatoire
de Region Rueil-Malmaison after
studying organ performance with
Marie-Claire Alain in Paris in 1985
and 1986. Eastman awarded him a
doctorate of musical arts in organ
performance and literature in 2000.
“Being an organist and being a
choral director go hand-in-hand,”
he says. “There are a few concert
organists; but many of us do church
jobs or teach. Being an organist is
not a profession in high demand.”
Sundquist’s career path is a
blend of knowledgeable insights
and opportunism. Enthusiasm,
charm, and charisma lead the way.
Flexibility and imagination are
among his tools. Given lemons, he
makes lemonade.
His formula, in his own words,
selected from our interview goes,
“I wanted to do what I wanted to
do. I never pin myself down.”
B
orn in Duluth, Minnesota,
in 1956, Sundquist recognizes that
his background is a model of Garrison Keillor fictional Lake Wobegon. “My mother was a pianist and
Lutheran Church organist,” Sundquist says. “She taught piano. All
four of us children took lessons
from mom. Eventually, she sent us
to others in Duluth. We were required to study piano until we were
in high school. She kept us interested.” When I inquire about how his
mother kept up her children’s excitement, Sundquist says matterof-factly, “By being Norwegian.
She took us to concerts. We grew
up in a rural area. We went down to
St. Paul to see Garrison Keillor.”
His father, now retired, was in
banking.
“My piano teacher retired when
she was 93. But there was a new organist in town, so I switched to organ,” Sundquist says. Church music has been part of his life since he
was a senior in high school.
In 1981 when he finished his
Eastman master’s degree, Sundquist wrote to French organist
Marie-Claire Alain, seeking a
place in her class in Paris. Much
sought after as a teacher, Alain was
famous for her massive recording
career and the small size of her studio; she recorded the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian
Bach three times. In the absence of
Alain’s response, Sundquist devoted himself to class work for his
doctorate until 1984. “I didn’t take
the written or oral exams,” he says
“because Alain accepted me for her
class of 1985 to 1986. I had forgotten all about writing her.”
In addition to studying with
Alain, Sundquist pursued two of
his passions. “I landed a job at the
American Episcopal Cathedral in
Paris, so I had a way to practice. I
also did a lot of accompanying.”
Accompanying holds a longterm fascination for Sundquist. In
two consecutive years he won
Eastman’s competition for outstanding accompanist. “I would
rather accompany than do solo piano work. It’s the appeal of doing
something collectively. It’s the true
sense of making music. Working
with singers changes every time
you play with them.”
When he left Paris in 1986
Sundquist went to California,
where his sister lived. “I landed a
church job and had other music
jobs,” he says. From 1988 to 1992
he coordinated the middle school
performing arts department at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles. “I didn’t need a doctorate.
But Los Angeles got to be too much
for this midwesterner,” he says. He
left for New Jersey. After a season
at Summit’s Kent Place School, he
came to Princeton High School in
1993.
“Princeton had a well-established choral program run by Bill
Trego and Nancianne Parrella
[now associate organist of the
Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in
New York City] for 27 years,”
Sundquist says. “They both retired
and I was hired to replace Parrillo
as the accompanist. When the
board cut back to one position they
offered me a job as both accompanist and choral conductor. I took it.
Otherwise, I would have had no job
at all. I got into choral conducting
through my church work and
through accompanying at Eastman. I had no education background. But I could show them
what I could do. Choral directing is
common sense.
“In 1997, after I was established
at Princeton High School, I contacted Eastman about finishing my
doctorate. Normally, Eastman
gives you seven years to finish a
doctoral degree. It had been 14
years since I left the program. I
wrote a letter explaining what I had
done and wondering if they would
let me sit for the oral and written
exams. They gave me a two-year
window and said that I had to take a
doctoral seminar. So I went up to
Rochester every Thursday night.
Princeton High School gave me a
free day on Fridays so I could take
a Mozart class. I studied like crazy
for my one shot at the written and
orals and got my doctorate in
2000.” It was a 19-year gap between master’s and doctoral degrees.
At Princeton High School Sundquist’s accomplishments were im-

pressive. The number of students
participating in choral groups at the
high school exploded. The choir
added biennial international tours
as a regular activity. Sundquist developed a knack for fundraising. “I
didn’t enjoy it at first,” he says.
“But once I was established in
Princeton, there were people to
whom I could turn because they believed in the kids. There are a lot of
angels in Princeton who pay for
things that the school board doesn’t
give money for. My budget in the
early ’90s was $2,500; it barely
paid for music.”
U
nstinting in his efforts,
Sundquist habitually becomes
overextended. He singles out the
year 2004, when, in addition to his
normal school duties, he was an assistant director and pianist for a run
of Lerner and Loewe’s “My Fair
Lady” at McCarter Theater. “We
did a two-piano version of the
show,” he says. “I was one of the
pianists. There were 65 performances. It almost did me in. I got up
at 5:30 a.m. and was in school by
6:15 a.m. After a full day at school
I turned up at McCarter for rehearsals at 3 p.m. and stayed till 7
or 7:30 p.m. Once the show started
I was at the theater until 10 p.m.
The last day of “My Fair Lady”
was the Princeton High School
graduation. The next day I was a
zombie.”
Sundquist’s stay at Princeton
overlapped with that of John Kazmark, Princeton High School’s for-

mer principal, who became superintendent of schools in Mountain
Lakes in 2001. In 2008 Kazmark
lured Sundquist to Mountain Lakes
to direct the choral department and
teach advanced placement music
theory. “I was not looking to leave
Princeton,” Sundquist says, “but
the challenge intrigued me. At
Princeton I felt that the program
was on roller skates and left me little time for other things. I enjoy
performing, playing, and working
on organ literature but my personal
practice went by the wayside.
There were 1,400 students in five
choirs at Princeton and I saw 230
kids a day.
“The pressure at Mountain
Lakes is less. There were 24 people
in the choir when I started; now
there are 75. I’m excited to see
these kids excited about singing.
It’s a great change going from a
well-established program to one
that needed a lot of nurturing.”
Searching for a permanent replacement as artistic director in the
fall, Cantus Novus invited Sundquist to apply. “I’m very busy in
Pompton Lakes,” Sundquist says.
“I withdrew my name. Cantus
Novus has a wonderful board with
good hearted people, and it has
good musicians. It fills a void in
Bucks County. It’s a good fit for
somebody else, but not me.”

he economy since
2008 has been unkind to architecture. Most businesses
have suffered from the recession, but between 2008
and 2010 architecture firms
in the Princeton region lost
about a third of their workforce.
Cathy Knight, who has
operated her own residential
architecture firm at 76 Stetson Way since 1991, felt it
too. Whenever the economy
takes a sharp turn architects
and builders tend to feel the
effects later than most. “It
started to get slow last summer,” Knight says. “And it’s
not like people were looking
for smaller jobs, the phone
just didn’t ring.”
Though things have
picked up, last year’s doldrums cemented the need
for Knight to expand her
services. In April Knight
Associates launched a subdivision, Knight Classic
Homes (www.knightclassichomes.com), which features a line of pre-designed
houses built to suit. Like the
parent firm, Knight Classic
will concentrate on the
Princeton area for its business.
Knight has made a comfortable living doing renovations and refurbishment
for Princeton-area clients.
And though she plans to
keep doing that (in a builtout town like Princeton, ad-
ditions and renovations are a
mainstay, she
says), Knight
has come to understand
the
value of dollars
spent on home
projects.
Knight recently
completed
a
10-month,
$700,000 renovation to a
Princeton
ranch home. “It
looks great, but for pretty
much the same money we
could have given them a
new house with new everything,” she says.
Most of Knight’s clients
are in the $500,000 to
$800,000 range, she says.
Higher prices come when
fancier materials show up
— marble and ceramic, for
example.
Some projects go higher
still. Another recent job was
a $4 million renovation on a
7,500-square-foot
home.
The custom modular homes
Knight Classic offers come
in five sizes, from 1,900
square feet to about 3,800
square feet and cost from
$600,000 to a little less than
$1 million.
The units, named after
Princeton streets (Witherspoon, Nassau, Mercer, and
Cleveland), are 80-percent

cean Spray Inc., the
largest producer of cranberry juice drinks in the world
and the largest employer in
Bordentown, will close its
Burlington County plant in
2013 and move its operations to Lehigh Valley in
northeastern Pennsylvania.
Speculation that the
juicemaker would close its
production plant on Park
Street in Bordentown City
has been swirling since last
fall, when the company first
told the city that it was looking to move its 250-employee operation.
According to the company, the Bordentown plant
(one of seven Ocean Spray
bottling centers) is the oldest
and most expensive in its inventory. Last year the company overall posted $2 billion in revenue; the Bordentown City plant produced
more than 30 million bottles
of juice.
Bordentown’s image has
been connected with the
company since the plant
opened in 1943. The city’s
annual Cranberry Festival,
held every October since
1979, was developed in honor of Ocean Spray. The company is by far the city’s
largest employer (many who
work at the plant live in Bordentown) and contributes
roughly $400,000 annually
in taxes.
According to the company, the Bordentown plant is
too costly to keep. The company is, however, planning
to invest $120 million on its
new plant, which will be in a
yet-to-be-determined location near Easton.
City Mayor James Lynch
and state assemblyman Joe
Malone (whose 30th District
office is in Bordentown
City), have publicly stated
bitter disappointment that
Ocean Spray is leaving.
Malone said that the city and
state offered Ocean Spray
several incentives to stay, including nearly $40 million
in state-sponsored loans and
as much as $10 million in tax
incentives.
Officials have not said yet
what might become of the
plant after Ocean Spray
leaves in September, 2013.
The land, a 62-acre parcel on
the edge of town, near Route
206, is zoned for industrial,
but rezoning for mixed use
reportedly is under discussion.
The subject likely will be

Knight is aware of the horror
stories homeowners tell about renovation jobs. Some just take a long
time (remember, the ranch Knight
just finished renovating took 10
months), but most revolve around
the lack of knowledge homeowners have. This in turn leads to bad
decisions and wasted time.
It should be no surprise that
Knight recommends homeowners
hire an architect when considering
major work on their houses. Most
people don’t, and Knight believes
it is because they think it will be
just another cost. In truth, Knight
says, hiring an architect can save a
lot of money (not to mention time)
because architects know how to
navigate the permits process with
municipal governments and which
contractors can get their jobs done
on time and on budget.
Besides, she says, architects
know how to draw up plans and
how to not get bogged down in the
minutiae. Knight still remembers a
situation involving the Waldorf
School, 1062 Cherry Hill Road,
that occurred 15 years ago. The
school needed some expansion
work and had turned to the parents
for help. The parents, Knight says,
were so focused on the design that
they never stopped to consider the
costs, the legalities, and the bid
process. She stepped in to help and
got three bids ranging from
$204,000 to $335,000.
The school went with the low
bidder, of course, but Knight says
she was able to work that contractor down to $180,000 — something a non-architect is unlikely to
be able to do. “There’s a lot more to

never could.
it than just knowing which side of
the room the chalkboard needs to
be on,” she says.
Permits can be the biggest bear
in the process, Knight says. One
client originally questioned the
need for an architect when he wanted to do an addition. The addition,
however, involved a load-bearing
wall. Knight says the township
would never have given the homeowner permission to do the job. But
she got it for him.
Knight, who grew up in Massachusetts, studied architecture at
Syracuse and first worked in
Boston. Her father was a Browneducated electrical engineer and
her mother was a business administrator at her own alma mater,
Wellesley. Knight’s husband, radiologist Donald Denny of Princeton
Radiology, moved the couple
around New England (he worked at
Harvard, Yale, and Brown) before
coming to Princeton Radiology in
1991.
When they got here Knight told
her husband “That’s it, we’re not
moving again.” She set up her own
architecture firm over their garage
and has been gainfully self-employed ever since.
While in New England Knight
did mainly commercial work. In
Princeton she has overwhelmingly
dealt with residential architecture.
Her firm partners with 10 contractors (mainly women), from construction companies to decorators,
to provide end-to-end service.
“We try to limit the unexpected,” Knight says. “But there are always unexpecteds.”

Roma Bank: Financing the American Dream
R
oma Bank has always
provided loan services for
its customers, but starting
in 2009 it brought in its own
home mortgage consultants
(HMCs) to provide personalized,
expert service directly to its customers at its branches.
"Since then, we've expanded
to seven HMCs, and expect to
hire eight more by the end of the
year," said Residential Loan Production Manager Joseph Barnaba. "These are experienced loan
officers who walk our customers
through the entire process."
The HMC answers questions
from the borrower or borrowers
about processing, underwriting,
appraisals, credit reports and
everything related to the loan
process. In addition, the HMC
coordinates with attorneys
and/or title companies to schedule closings, helps clear loan
conditions prior to closing and
accompanies the borrower to
closing.
Barnaba says it's important for
customers interested in a mortgage to sit down and talk with a
mortgage professional. HMCs
are uniquely qualified to review a
customer's finances, credit and
employment history and to suggest a reasonable mortgage
amount that for which the borrower may qualify.
"One of the most important
functions an HMC handles is prequalifying customers for mortgages," Barnaba explained.
"When a customer is pre-qualified, it lets the realtor know that
person is serious about and capable of buying a house."
HMCs also assist customers
with refinancing which, according
to Barnaba, is alive and well at
Roma Bank. With fixed rates still
below 5 percent, adjustable rates
are starting to come back into
play.
"Refinancing is not dead,"
Barnaba noted. "And some of
our adjustables are hovering just
around 4 percent, with no
points."
Customers interested in
speaking to a Roma Bank HMC
may call the Mortgage Department at 609-223-8200.
Roma Bank currently is hiring
HMCs. Loan professional with
one to two years of experience
may email a resume to [email protected].
Roma has served the banking
needs of its neighbors and
friends since 1920, and recently
celebrated its 90th Anniversary.

Do You Know the Answer?
W
hat Princeton
Borough home
was moved from
University Place to Cleveland Lane In order to provide a better view of Blair
Arch?
(The answer can be
found on page 12 in our real
estate advertisement.)
Asking the right questions and providing the best
answers is what we do for
our real estate clients.
In our ever changing
economy, there can be vast,
short term market fluctuations, making it difficult for
buyers or sellers to accurately establish a realistic
value for their property.
Pricing trends, local market conditions, the national
economy and overall business environment all play a
role in determining value.
By analyzing alternative
properties, pending, very recent, expired, and failed
contract sales, we work together to establish the best
strategy for your sales position and situation.
Marketing property requires an expert with discretion, a myriad of contacts,
and extensive experience in
your real estate community.
Susan Gordon and Ingela
Kostenbader are your best
choice. Come to us with all
of your questions. We want
to help with the answers.
