Kim Guadagno On
The State of Business
S
he was elected to the second
highest state governmental position with no portfolio, no job description, no salary, and no physical office. On January 19, when
Kim Guadagno was sworn in as
New Jersey’s first lieutenant governor, there was not even a chair in
all Trenton with her name on it.
Now five months settled into the
job, Guadagno handles the daunting challenge of mutually bolster-
ing both her own office and the image of New Jersey as businessfriendly. Guadagno discusses how
she achieves this in her talk “New
Jersey’s Commitment to Economic
and Business Development,” at the
Princeton Chamber on Thursday,
July 8, at 11:30 a.m. at the Princeton Marriott & Conference Center.
Cost: $60. Visit www. princetonchamber.org.
From her earliest days, when
she was Kimberly Ann McFadden,
Guadagno learned how to make
her way in new, uncharted areas.
“My father managed a series of television stations,” she recalls, “and
by the time I graduated from law
school, we had lived in 25 states.
You just lose count after a while.”
Seeking education and residential
stability, Guadagno attended Ursinus College, earning her bachelor’s in 1980, and then earned her
law degree from the American
University in Washington in 1983.
Moving to Brooklyn, Guadagno
joined the city’s anti-racketeering
squad. While prosecuting criminals, she fell in love with her boss,
squad deputy chief Michael
Guadagno. In 1991 the couple settled in Monmouth County, where
she served as assistant U.S. attorney for the district of New Jersey
and assistant attorney general.
Serving as deputy director in the

Division of Criminal Justice,
Guadagno supervised the prosecution of David L. Smith, creator and
perpetrator of the “Melissa Computer Virus” which involved $40
million in financial fraud. In 2007,
before accepting Chris Christie’s
request as running mate, Guadagno was elected as Monmouth
County’s first female sheriff.
Although her current office is
new, Guadagno says her path has
been markedly clear. Much of that

from
then-candidate
Christie, who, even before selecting a running mate, announced that
his lieutenant governor would be in
charge of economic development.

and I realized that we could hardly
run on a campaign of reduced government, and then come in with another layer of bureaucracy,” says
Guadagno. In her first days, the
lieutenant governor was also given
the duties of the former Secretary
of State’s office. Thus, in addition

the New Jersey Public Action
Committee.
Ensconced “just down the hall”
from the governor, Guadagno has
adapted well to her two-hat position, lunching with Christie twice a
week, and sitting in on many of his
endless round of meetings. On her
own schedule, she works to put
herself and the administration in
front of the public at all levels.
“Most of my days are spent
making speeches that explain our
pro-business policies, talking with
people, and calling individual
businesses, getting them to come
to, or stay in New Jersey.”
A recent, average day, was June

The Advancement of Social Media & Alternative Billing Options
R
egardless of the industry,
the ability to succeed and
remain competitive depends upon adaptability. The financial instability and insecurity
stemming from the economic
downturn provokes business
owners to seek and evaluate
new directions to ensure profitability and protect against future
downturns. Let's explore a marketing direction and a financial
option as examples of adapting
to our business environment.
Marketing Directions: Did
you know that we live in the "Attention Age"? This era is characterized by instant information,
created by and for consumers,
shared through the use of internet sites such as Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Twitter. Small and
mid-sized businesses are seeking ways to draw attention to
their businesses by working in
concert with their websites,
blogs, and digital e-marketing
campaigns to create a strong
and positive digital image. Your
website and web presence serve
as a first impression. A negative
reaction can result in a click of
the mouse and you potential customer is lost. It is vital, therefore,
to understand the impact of social media as a marketing tool
and a way to service your customers and clients.
Even the most conservative

professionals must admit that
this is the current and future
business environment. The "information age" has evolved into
the "attention age." Businesses
are vying for the attention of their
consumers through social media. However, as beneficial as
social media is, caution must be
exercised in the use of the internet's sites, particularly in blogging. The professional, for example, must be cognizant of any
ethical restrictions it may have
with respect to advertising. Further, any information provided in
the form of a blog should be of a
general nature. You do not want
to expose yourself to any liability
risk for malpractice.
Financial Options: A financial option which offers the opportunity to adapt to the changing business environment and
remain competitive is to explore
alternative billing methods. To
use the law firm example, alternative billing arrangements enable both the law firm and its
clients to alleviate the uncertainty and unpredictability of most legal costs. They work together to
establish an ongoing relationship
to minimize redundancy.
While the billable hour remains a vital and integral part of
providing comprehensive legal

services to companies, it should
only be one of several tools used
in conjunction with a customized
legal fee structure. The structure
is based upon the client's historic
and projected legal needs. Its
overall objective is to provide
both the business and the law
firm with greater ability to budget
and manage costs. This model
can extend to other professional
services as well as small and
mid-sized businesses.
Today's business challenges
demand innovative approaches
and adaptability to the changing
marketing and financial environments. Keeping your business
competitive requires acceptance
of these challenges and positive
action in meeting them.

Their Name Isn't Well-Known, But Their Clients Are
T
he Name Behind the
Names." That's what 25year-old Princeton advertising and marketing firm Ferrara
& Company prides itself on being. "You might not know who we
are, but you've certainly heard of
our clients and the campaigns
we develop for them," says Chris
Havard, VP Marketing at the
Princeton-based advertising
firm.
Their "world class clients" include Church and Dwight's ARM
& HAMMER products such as
laundry detergent, baking soda,
cat litter and oral care. They
have developed digital work for a
portfolio of Heinz brands including Smart Ones, Lea Perrins and
Classico sauce.
They have updated the classic
"Who's behind those Foster
Grants" with an advertising campaign featuring Raquel Welch. In
addition, they have a professional services division which mar-
kets products such as Trojan and
oral care brands to healthcare
professionals.
Ferrara & Company has since
made a name for itself with its
blend of "left brain, right results,"
explains Havard. By this he
means that the company combines both product and consumer research with creative
and visionary marketing and advertising. "We develop an understanding of customer behavior
through research insights that
gives us the ability to come up
with exactly the right creative
message," he says.
Ferrara & Company provides
"360 degree thinking" offering a
full line of services, "very unusual in a company our size,"
Havard adds. This includes the
ability to develop television commercials, print and radio ads and
promotions. They also have an
extensive online and new media
marketing group to help their
clients keep in touch with their
customers and develop product
visibility and recognition.
But why Princeton rather than
New York City? "Princeton is
known for its smart and creative
people. With the great brands we
work on, the agency is a magnet
for the highest caliber people;
people who have already worked
on major national and international campaigns," says Havard.
"We offer clients that same talent
as New York at a fair and reasonable cost". We're a right-sized
company that is nimble and
quick, so we can take on any
marketing challenge and deliver
results.

“necessarily painful” budget, almost everyone took issue with
some of the cuts. Education and tax
rebates each received historically
unprecedented slashes in state
funding. Guadagno, although expressing no personal preference for
any particular state program, noted, “I think I am most proud of our
maintaining the funding for the
Arts, Historical and Cultural Commission.”
Again this year, the government’s Council on the Arts, Historical Commission and Cultural
Trust, provided the full $23 million
to art, historic, and cultural venues.
The money comes from hotel/motel tax revenues.
Fiscally this should prove a wise
choice. Last April Secretary of
State Nina Mitchell Wells testified
that the state’s artistic, cultural, and
historical assets were greatly responsible for New Jersey’s $38.8
billion tourism industry.
Tourism, New Jersey’s third
largest industry, provides 450,000
jobs and accounts for 11 percent of
the state’s total employment. Without tourism revenues, Wells said
last year, every household in New
Jersey would have to pitch in an additional $1,427 to maintain state
coffers. Also, the arts and culture
are a cash cow in and of themselves, with every dollar appropriated returning roughly two dollars
in state tax revenue.
Business boost. As to her plans
for providing the Garden State with
a more business friendly image,
Guadagno echoes her boss’s sentiments. “The only way to develop
business is to create a smaller government, with less taxes on all
fronts,” she insists. In keeping with
her aim, she has cut 12 slots from
the Secretary of State’s office.
Many have argued that New Jersey holds more business attractions
than sheer thrift. When asked about
the highly educated workforce, the
unprecedentedly profitable alternative plans, the roadway networks, and other advantages,
Guadagno remarks, “We will always maintain a safety net. Those
things will always be available and
kept for New Jersey.” She cites that
Main Street, which provides renovation funds for small downtowns,
and several other business incentives which were saved with full
funding.
As she continues to juggle the
broad-ranging elements of her secretary of state and lieutenant governor offices, we asked her for advice to any aspirants for her job.
“Tell them to get elected in a time
when the economy is not so
rough,” she laughs.

You’ll Need Character

Communications in New York.
And if his life is any indication,
he’s right. “The reality is, everyone

goes through the process of becoming a good leader.
Whether it was from his family,
mentors, or career experience,
Duncanson has built a lifetime of
on-the-job leadership training. His
career began right out of college,
when he became a New York City
police officer. After retiring, he
went to work for advisors, authors
and businessmen Warren Bennis
and John Maxwell.
But the seeds of leadership were
planted long before college and a
professional career. It was living
with his mother and father that set
him on the path to success.
“My mom was a great homemaker, a steady person, and she
showed people what a good
woman was supposed to be,” he
says. “Certainly, my dad was the
head of my home, but he realized
that with his ability to do what he
did he needed someone else. My
mother was the nurturer.”
Duncanson will share his experiences during the SkillPath “Leadership Development and Teambuilding Conference” on Thursday, June 8, at 9 a.m. at the Holiday
Inn. Cost: $199. Visit www.skillpath.com to register.
“Character is the most important
part of leadership. No matter what
it is we say, character has proven itself to be key,” he says. “It’s the
difference maker. If people can’t
buy into you, then you can’t be a
leader.”
Looking for leaders. The consensus today, says Duncanson, is

cident,” he says. “It happens
through development, through
study and research. Up to the age of
30, when I met [motivational
speaker] John Maxwell, I don’t
think I’d ever read any books all
the way through, even in college.
Up to that point I wasn’t concerned
with learning, I was concerned
with getting a degree. But I became
a voracious reader, especially on
leadership and personal development.”
Among those books was “Leadership Challenge,” by M. Kouzes
and Barry Z. Posner. In it, several
thousand people throughout the
world were asked what people are
looking for in a leader. Four main
traits came out of it — being a forward thinker, being inspiring, being honest, and being competent.
These are all skills that can be
learned, he says.
Leading and managing. Leadership, says Duncanson, is more
than just managers managing and
businessmen making decisions. It
is often an intangible quality that
only a few people possess.
“Warren Bennis [author of several business leadership books]
captured it best — efficient manSaturday - Sunday - Major Holidays
agement without effective leadership is like rearranging the chairs
on the Titanic,” he says. “In or out
of the workplace, being a leader
means having the ability to take
people in a specific and predetermined direction.”
Unfortunately, being a good
manager and being a good leader
are not synonymous, and developing that quality is something more
and more businessmen are recognizing as a key to success because
in the end, he says. “While managers may do the things right, it is
leaders who do the right thing. “
“When all is said and done, here
is what we know. People don’t
want to be managed, they want to
be led,” Duncason says. “If I am

Fairleigh Dickinson University’s
Discover Teen Busine$$ Camp.
“Teens can go to soccer camp or art
camp, but this is another escape for
them where they can learn about
business and careers and discover
what interests them,” he says. “It’s
a fun thing to do every year. It’s a
creative idea.”
The one-week Teen Busine$$
Camp runs Monday to Friday, July
12 to 16, beginning at 9 a.m. at
FDU’s Florham campus in Madison. All participants will receive a
certificate of completion at the
camp’s conclusion, and lunch and
snacks will be provided, but teens
can also bring their own.
Tuition costs $490. Call 973443-8842, or visit www.fdu.edu. A
medical form is available online.
Teen Busine$$ teaches youngsters about basic business skills
through educational and entertaining activities, something Crawford

Fried? Let Someone Else Cook You Breakfast
B
ack in January I was
contacted by the folks at Food Network Magazine for a story they
were planning for their July/August issue on the 50 best breakfasts
in the United States, one in each
state. I was asked to nominate three
New Jersey places, specifically
with an eye toward “dishes that are
memorable, wacky, locally inspired, the kind of place locals are
fanatical about and where you’d
want to take your out-of-town visitors.” I was pleased when they selected my number one choice: the
egg-cheese-and-pork-roll sandwich at the vintage Summit Diner
(in Union County).
Now I’m always looking for
ways to promote New Jersey, but I
was particularly psyched about
this opportunity because breakfast
is hands-down my favorite meal. I
happily eat traditional breakfast
foods — even cereal — for lunch
and dinner. In fact, I prefer many of
them later in the day, and I bemoan
the fact that each year there are
fewer and fewer places that serve
breakfast at all hours (other than
run-of-the-mill diners that use prefab mixes for hotcakes and pastured eggs from cartons. I’ll pass
on those, thank you.)
The breakfast hour, it turns out,
has been a rare high spot for the
restaurant business in the United
States over the last five years. Nation’s Restaurant News, a trade
publication, cites a recent report by
the NPD Group, a market research
company based in Port Washington, NY, that shows that breakfast
by Pat Tanner
accounted for almost 60 percent of
the restaurant industry’s growth
during that time and states, “if not
for the increase in traffic during the
morning, restaurant visit declines
over the past two years would have
been steeper.”
I am convinced that I personally
accounted for part of that growth, at
least here in the Princeton area, as I
ate my way through several restaurants for this snapshot of excellent
breakfast spots. Each offers something unique when it comes to the
Brunch is fine for a

Our food writer rises to
the challenge.
first meal of the day, which explains
why places like diners, chain
restaurants, and big hotel dining
rooms are not among them. Admittedly, there are several fine restaurants in the area that serve a delicious Sunday brunch — Brothers
Moon in Hopewell in particular
comes to mind — but they are also
not the focus here. On that note I did
include Sprig & Vine, a new fine
dining vegan place (U.S. 1, May
19), not only because it offers good
food but because of the daunting
challenge behind creating breakfast
meals without eggs, milk, and butter — not to mention bacon,
sausage, pork roll, scrapple, steak,
or other traditional breakfast meats.
Cafe at Rosemont
This charming spot was one of
my three Food Network Magazine
nominations. (The third was Mustache Bill’s Diner in Barnegat
Light, which in 2009 was the first
diner ever to win a James Beard
Award.) With its authentic, plainJane country ambiance — the
space started life in 1865 as a general store — this spot in the tiny village of Rosemont in Hunterdon
County technically serves brunch,
not breakfast, on weekends. But
with a starting time of 9 a.m. and
with all the breakfast must-haves
on the menu, it fits my criteria.
Plus, its worn wooden floors, mismatched chairs, and flea market
crockery match up perfectly with
the made-from-scratch fare that is a
canny combination of homespun
and cosmopolitan.
Four exceptionally fine, tender
omelets are featured on the regular
menu, but that number is always
enhanced by at least two specials,
perhaps, say, one featuring prosciutto and asiago, another with
roasted pear and blue cheese. The
Food Network folks asked me to
pinpoint one special dish from each
of my Jersey-centric nominees,
and here it was no contest. I chose
the Russian Peasant omelet, with
its filling of soft chunks of red potato and its swathes of rich sour

cream festooned with scallion
rings, topped with a generous
amount of black lumpfish caviar.
Where else can you find such delicious decadence for only $9.50?
Owner Lola Wykoff stands firm in
using black lumpfish. “I tell people
it may be at the bottom of the classic caviar chain, but if I used Beluga, I’d have to charge $90!”
French toast — a gargantuan
portion — delivers thick, diagonal
cuts of baguette, crisp on the outside and custardy inside, and real
maple syrup, of course. No matter
what you choose, my advice is to also indulge in as many accoutrements as can be consumed at one
sitting. Among these are a generous
basket of baked goods that may include a homemade muffin (whole
grain with cranberries on one visit);
a warm, tender croissant that left
me licking my buttery fingers; and
the bread of the day. I looked
askance at the thick, dark brown
slabs of bread, anticipating a deadly
dense, chewy “health” creation.
But the reality — Russian pumpernickel — was surprisingly light,
airy, and flavorful, especially when
smeared with the excellent sweet
butter, strawberry jam, and orange
marmalade that reside on the table.
If you like home-style potatoes,
by all means order a side of Pota-
toes from Heaven, the name of
which is only a tad hyperbolic.
Dark, crispy bits are the best part,
but all is redolent of olive oil, rosemary, garlic, onion, and more than
a touch of cayenne. Same directive
goes for the breakfast bangers.
Wykoff gets these sausage links
made to the cafe’s specifications,
without preservatives, by Maresca’s of Sergeantsville.
The coffee is first-rate, even the
decaf, which the menu specifies is
“Columbian, water-processed.”
Twinings and herbal teas (including echinacea) are offered, as is
lunch fare such as black bean chili,
sandwiches, and salads. Reservations are not accepted for brunch,
but somehow the room accommodates a steady stream of patrons
without a wait.
A bonus: If you’re coming into
Rosemont from the east, you will
drive through New Jersey’s last remaining covered bridge. On the
other side you emerge into pretty,
rolling hillside dotted with picturepostcard farms.

Calico Grill
T
his bright and airy casual
spot, which opened in 2007 in the
alley behind Cox’s Market on Nassau Street in Princeton quickly became a personal favorite. It is
owned and managed by the same
folks who have operated Cox’s
since 2004, Marguerite and Alan
Heap and Carlos Espichan. Their
fare is a highly personal take on the
fresh, bright cuisines of the Pacific
Rim locales they know well firsthand — primarily those of California and Mexico (hence the cafe’s
clever name), but also those of
Hawaii, Asia’s Pacific coast, and
Central America.
The room itself, which seats 30,
makes me smile every time I enter.
Two walls are painted floor-toceiling with a well executed mural
that mimics a stone terrace looking
out onto tropical seas. A painted
palm even spills its fronds onto the
coffered ceiling. The other walls
continue the ruse with a faux treatment that evokes weathered stucco, while the floor of (real) slate
tile adds to the effect. The mise-enscene is completed with table
linens that include bright orange
napkins and seat cushions striped
in primary colors.
Here, traditional French toast
and pancakes can be had with blueberries, strawberries, or chocolate,
but for a tropical touch try the mango. But what makes Calico Grill
worth seeking out are the Mexican
and Latino breakfast dishes: the
burrito, quesadilla, “loco moco”
(eggs with crab cakes, fish of the
day, or grilled steak), and what the
menu terms a “Spanish continental
breakfast.” That last, my favorite,
consists of two fried eggs served
with flour tortillas, sides of fried
plantains and small black beans,
and pots of creamy white queso
fresco and mild, house-made
tomato salsa. Along with a mug of
Seattle’s Best coffee or one of the
Shangri La teas, this is my idea of
breakfast heaven.
If what you order doesn’t include a side of the plantains, I
strongly urge you to order these
sticky-sweet, sticky-starchy treats.
Oh yes: plus an order of Spanishstyle chorizo. It comes incorporated into the breakfast quesadilla, a
satisfying concoction of scrambled
eggs, molten cheddar, and sauteed
peppers and onions in a flour tortilla. The quesadilla is served with
rice cooked in what looks to be the
water from black beans.

THAI CUISINE
Back to Business as Usual. Same Crew
& Same Quality of Food as We Wait
for Our Princeton Location to Be Rebuilt.
Princeton Eats: A pair of out-of-towners, above
left, and commercial real estate developer Jamie
Herring and his girls start the day off right at the
Calico Grill. Above: No need to wait for dinner to
dine al fresco at the new Nassau Inn Patio.
Nassau Inn Patio
I
n late May the venerable Nassau Inn unveiled its long-awaited
patio next to Lindt Chocolates on
Palmer Square — and boy is it ever
worth the wait. On a beautiful day
this attractive fieldstone-and-floral
space ranks among the top choices
in Princeton for al fresco dining.
As they say in real estate, location, location, location — and so it
is with this most appealing spot.
Wisely, the space was excavated so
the patio sits below ground level
(or at least, it gives that impression) and, streetside, a tall stone
wall capped by stone planters
bursting with colorful flowers effectively obscures the sights and
sounds of passing traffic and
parked cars. Tan umbrellas help
keep the sun from beating down on
the traditional black metal patio tables and extra-wide chairs with
deep, striped cushions. Service is
neither rushed nor rushing. At least
on one weekday morning, we lingered as long as we wished while
other patrons read their Kindles,
fired up their laptops, and talked on
their cell phones.
The food is typical of a mediumsize hotel. The patio offers the
same breakfast, lunch, and dinner
menus as served in the inn’s restaurant, the Yankee Doodle Tap
Room. The menus were recently
developed by chef Matt Volpe. The
breakfast offerings include some
modern, beckoning choices like
beignets, a breakfast wrap, omelets
with chorizo or feta, and dried
cherry and mascarpone pancakes.
I tried one such update: the
breakfast panini. Pressed inside
slices of thick, grilled brioche are a
two-egg omelet, Canadian bacon,
and bright orange cheddar. All flavors seem a bit muted, and the
brioche itself has the consistency
of white bread. It comes with
O’Brien potatoes — now there’s a
throwback! — but one I welcome.
This version, however, has no trace
of the red and green peppers that
define the dish.
If you find yourself dining with
children, either the chocolate chip
and banana pancakes or the mixed
berry stuffed French toast should
be a hit. The latter falls squarely into the dessert-masquerading-asbreakfast category that, truth be
told, as many adults as children favor. It utilizes that same rather airy
brioche, is liberally drizzled with a
sweeter-than-sweet
raspberry
sauce, and is dusted with powdered
sugar.
Next time I go — and there will
be a next time, because this space is
drawing me like a magnet — I’ll
opt for the simpler choices, like the
fruit plate with yogurt or the oatmeal with dried cranberries. And
I’ll repeat the real estate mantra,
“location, location, location,”
while sipping the inn’s very good
coffee.

that also represent good values. But
I was unaware until recently that
Teresa’s, under lead chef Luis Martinez, serves a mean breakfast on
weekends. And if you come early
enough you won’t have a wait at
this no-reservations spot. I wish I
had known sooner! I was captivated
first by the Mediterranean timbre of
the menu, with offerings of frittata,
crepes, and breakfast pizzette as
well as brioche and croissants from
Witherspoon Bread.
Here, a simple poached egg (organic and brown) becomes a feast
with grilled country bread, organic
smoked bacon, Portobello mushroom, and asiago cheese. One of
the four individual pizzas is topped
with egg scrambled with black
truffles, pancetta, and fontina; others feature prosciutto, spinach, asparagus — you can see the appeal.
After much hemming and hawing I settled on a most unusual dish:
eggs baked in a ramekin along with
chunks of roasted butternut squash
and prosciutto di Parma, all capped
by a layer of melted Swiss cheese.
The rich orange yolk — half runny,
half cooked through — melded
beautifully with the slight sweetness of the squash and the salty
tang of the ham. I plan on asking
for the recipe. My guest chose a
pizzetta slathered with fresh ricotta
sauce, liberally swathed with excellent quality smoked salmon, and
dotted with goat cheese, capers,
and red onion — wonderfully salty
and with an excellent chewycrispy crust. Like the baked egg, it
is even better than it sounds.
Both these dishes left me wanting to try every other thing on the
menu of this Palmer Square veteran. Next time, though, I will be
savvier about one quirk that has an
especially significant impact at
breakfast. For coffee, the restaurant utilizes an espresso machine.
Order “regular” and a standard size
coffee cup arrives at the table, with
brewed espresso in the bottom.
Your server then adds hot water.
Surprisingly, this tastes just fine.
But should you want more, be advised that you’ll pay $2.75 each
time the cup is refilled.

p.m.
Caffe Galleria
W
hen DeAnna’s, the popular
Lambertville Italian restaurant,
moved from these small but delightful digs on South Main Street several years ago, Dawn Raia moved
over her Caffe Galleria. The space
matches up well with her laid-back,
vaguely hippie sensibilities when it
comes to decor and to the fiercely
fresh, made-to-order breakfast,
lunch, and dinner fare. There is
nothing particularly startling or
unique on the breakfast menu of
omelettes (the restaurant’s spelling), eggs, French toast, pancakes,
oatmeal, yogurt, granola, and baked
goods. Yet Caffe Galleria provided
us with our tastiest breakfast of the
bunch, hands down.
I cannot count how many versions of buttermilk pancakes with
fresh blueberries I’ve eaten over
the years — including my own formidable made-from-scratch ones
— but Caffe Galleria’s outshines
them all. Light and ridiculously
fluffy, yes, but the batter itself has
tons of flavor. The berries somehow taste blueberrier than some
I’ve plucked off the bush and
popped directly into my mouth.
These pancakes are served with real maple syrup — nothing else
would do them justice. On the side
we ordered honey-glazed ham, and
it turned out to be the real deal, too.
I especially like how the thick slabs
are crisp-sauteed. Canadian bacon
will forevermore seem unacceptably wimpy.
Unless you’re an oatmeal lover
like me, you probably won’t under-
stand the deep, abiding appreciation I have for the multi-grain oatmeal here, which tastes like that of
days gone by. (All right, of decades
gone by.) Here’s one indication of
how good it is: I didn’t bother to
add any sugar.
Excellent coffee, freely refilled,
adds to the delights here. Service is
unhurried and since hot dishes are
made to order, be sure to allow
plenty of time to dine here. Waiting
isn’t onerous, because the setting
has real charm. The small dining
room seats only 25 around a colorful and comfortable banquette
backed with throw pillows. “Colorful” also describes the warm gold

and blue tones of the Venetianplaster walls and the local artwork,
which changes monthly.
If weather permits, opt to dine
on the pretty rear patio, with its
lacy black metal tables and chairs.

opened on Main Street, offers
much of the same fare as the cafe,
for eating in and taking out.

Pete’s Steak House

oing just by the name, this
place near the Trenton Farmers
Market doesn’t sound at first blush
like it would be a terrific breakfast
spot. But it comes highly recommended by U.S. 1 Preview editor
Jamie Saxon, who is more or less a
regular at Pete’s (or as she calls it,
Eat at Pete’s, which is what is written at the top of the menu here), primarily because they serve breakfast all day Saturday — til 9 p.m.,
and Sundays til 2 p.m. Their bacon
servings are enormous, and the
prices are bargain-basement perfect.
The owner and cook at this diner-ish spot with 1950s-themed
decor and music is Keith Casey. At
breakfast, the chef on duty is Jack
Palumbo, who years ago had his
own restaurant, Palumbo’s, in West
Trenton. Casey took over this version of Pete’s in 1997. It had originally been but is no longer related
to Pete’s Steak House and Tavern
in Hamilton, which itself was related to the original Pete’s in Chambersburg.
Since Casey liked Pete’s ’50s
decor he replicated it here, complete
with
black-and-white
checked tile and red vinyl booths
and counter stools, as well as a
(non-working)
jukebox
and
framed Life magazine covers, LP
covers, and ’50s movies posters.
There is at least one period CocaCola sign, and the beverage fridge
stocks the much admired Mexicanformula Coke.
Pete’s is best known for its
cheese steak sandwiches and its
pizza, but breakfast brings lots of
good, substantial fare at very affordable prices, served cheerfully
in the best diner tradition. The most
popular breakfast items, Casey
says, are his homemade hot cakes,
especially the strawberry, blueberry, or chocolate chip versions. I got
a short stack of the plain and found
them good though not exceptional.
Although the glob of butter on
them is real, the syrup is the ubiquitous and euphemistic “table syrup”
or “pancake syrup.” But remember, the price is right. Next time I’ll
JULY 7, 2010
try the French toast, since the breads for it —
regular, cinnamon-raisin, and cheese — are
made in-house.
The short stack includes two eggs any
style, and the ones over easy, as I requested,
were perfectly cooked, fresh as could be, and
sported yolks the color of marigolds. I also
rounded out my plate with a selection from
what the menu denotes as “breakfast meat.” I
opted for pork roll — the place is on the Trenton border, after all — and this salty treat
came hot and nicely crisped.
Casey told me after my visit that other
customer favorites are the broccoli and cheddar omelet and the Italian sausage omelet. I
can’t imagine that they are any better than
the giambotta, an Italian kitchen-sink affair
that I swear must have close to a dozen eggs
in it. It came to our table literally hanging
over every edge of its sizeable platter, stuffed
to the gills with nubs of excellent Italian
sausage, sauteed potatoes, hot and sweet
peppers, onions, and melted provolone — all
topped with a ladle of excellent pizza sauce.

Sprig & Vine
A
fter enjoying an impressive lunch at
this handsome, earth-toned vegan restaurant
in May I was itching to come back for what I
like to think of as breakfast, despite the fact
that owner/chef Ross Olchvary calls it
brunch and serves it only on Sundays from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. So there I was on a recent
Sunday, even before they opened the doors,
ravenous. I steadfastly ignored such
“brunchy” menu items as the strawberryarugula salad and the tempeh Reuben on
pumpernickel, despite the lure of its Thousand Island dressing and artisan pickles and
sauerkraut. I headed straight for the more
challenging breakfast items: tofu Benedict,
French toast, and sausage.
My husband and I had never eaten vegan
versions of any of these, so we were a bit apprehensive as we sipped our Small World

Where to Have the Most Important Meal of the Day:
At Caffe Galleria in Lambertville, above, our writer
says the blueberries taste blueberrier. At Pete’s Steak
House (waitress Rachael Glanding, right) you’ll feel
like you’re in an authentic ’50s diner — and if you’re
a late riser, you’ll be happy to know they serve breakfast all day Saturday and Sunday until 2 p.m.
coffee and unsweetened ice tea, respectively.
That tea, really an herbal infusion, is a refreshing surprise, made from what seems to
be equal parts ruby-red rooibus leaves
(Afrikaans for “red bush”) and peppermint.
We had hedged our bets by also ordering
warm sugar-cinnamon doughnuts.
We needn’t have fretted. The French toast,
made with a traditional white loaf from the
artisan bakers at Rise in Clinton, contains
cornmeal in the batter, which gives it crunch.
It sits on a bed of maple walnut “cream” so
good I wanted to lick the plate, and it is liberally drizzled with a bright, sweet coulis of
fresh strawberries and raspberries. (The fruit
will progress with the seasons to blueberries,
blackberries, peaches, apples, etc.) Soy milk
replaces egg here, with only a slight loss of
richness and spongy texture.
The real test, though, was
eggs Benedict — sans eggs
and Canadian bacon. Hollandaise, too, requires eggs.
And
butter.
Olchvary
achieves a remarkable facsimile for the sauce, in both
taste and texture, by employing silken tofu and vegan butter substitute. But what about
the poached egg and meat? Sitting on each
half of a crunchy toasted whole-wheat English muffin is a pattie of tempeh sausage and
a tall cube of soft tofu. The latter mimics
poached egg white perfectly, but, alas, not
the yolk. The sausage has the flavor profile
of hot Italian sausage, which is perfectly
suitable, but the texture is a tad mealygrainy. Rounding out the plate are a tangle of
bright green spinach sauteed with strands of
onion and a pile of good home fries. As for
those warm, sugary doughnuts — actually,
five doughnut holes about an inch and a half
in diameter — they were simply excellent by
any standard.

Landau Offers the Next Generation in T-shirt Printing
L
andau, the 94-year-old
shop at 102 Nassau Street
in Princeton, is proud to offer a new service: a technology
for printing T-shirts that is FAST,
EASY, AFFORDABLE, and
makes it FUN to create personalized clothing.
“It’s the next generation in digital apparel printing,” explains
Robert Landau. “We upload your
design, so you get exactly what
you want, and then print directly
on the shirt or sweatshirt of your
choice.”
In the past there were basically two methods of personalizing
clothing: screen printing and embroidery. Small quantities were
not economical, and mediumsized runs required fairly large
minimums. Colors were limited.
With the new computer printing
technology colors are just about
unlimited. “We have something
like a million colors, or at least it
seems that way,” Landau says.
Landau is a third-generation
family-run shop on Nassau
Street which opened in Princeton
in 1955. While Landau is best
known for its imported winter
woolens, they also offer licensed
Princeton University logo apparel and now custom-designed Tshirts and sweatshirts.
The efficiency with which the
products can be printed means
that you can affordably order as
few as you like; even just one.
And it’s FAST. Landau promises
next-day turnaround for printing
on all in-stock items. “If you want
something unusual, like 50 limegreen T-shirts in size medium,
we might need an additional 48
hours to get the shirts,” he says,
“But if you decide on Thursday
night that you’d like shirts for
your child’s birthday party on
Saturday, we can do it!”
Prices are affordable. Landau
quotes that an order for 15 custom-design T-shirts would be
about $12.50 per shirt. “That’s
less than many of our Princeton
University in-stock shirts,” he
mentions.
If you are looking for a creative gift, logo imprints for a team
or department, business group
or social event, family reunion, or
just for fun REMEMBER the “little olde shoppe” on Nassau
Street with the new space-age
apparel-printing technology.

Etheridge, a two-time Grammy
winner and and one-time Oscar
winner (for the soundtrack to “An
Inconvenient Truth”), turned 49
earlier this year. She was born in
Leavenworth, Kansas, to father
John Etheridge, a teacher, and
mother Elizabeth Williamson, a
computer consultant.
Etheridge is known for her music of course, but she is also known
for her advocacy for causes close to
her. In 1993, when she publicly acknowledged that she was a lesbian,
she instantly became an icon in the
LGBT community.
In 2004 Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy. She has
been a strong campaigner for that
cause as well, and has written
about her experiences in songs and
memoirs.
Cancer, says Etheridge, “is the
greatest thing to ever happen to me.
It changed the way I look at food,
and stress, and the choices I make in
my life, and it’s changed my work to
where I’m not fearful of saying
what I want to do, this is what makes
me happy, and this is the kind of music I want to make, down to this is
what I am going to do today to make
me happy. I’m looking at life with
more gratitude and love and just
walking that walk day to day.”
E
theridge says she hopes other women who are confronted with
cancer can see opportunity rather
than something to fear. “I would
hope that those who are stricken
with cancer now take the opportunity to change their lives,” she
says. “Cancer doesn’t just happen
to you, or fall on you during the
middle of the day because you’re
there. There’s a reason; cancer is a
symptom of a life being out of balance. I would hope they take the
opportunity to understand what
health is, and what balance is, and
take back their life, hold onto their
life and understand it’s theirs.
Every choice they make . . . they
don’t have to sacrifice themselves.
They’re the only ones living this
life. They have to learn to say yes to
themselves and no to a whole lot of
other stuff.”
Also, partly because of her cancer, she has been a huge advocate
of the use of medical marijuana.
Earlier this year, New Jersey became the 14th state to allow the legal use of medical marijuana,
though the administration of Gov-
ernor Chris Christie has yet to implement the law.
“I think — I know for sure —
that it is not only going to be accepted as the medicine that it is. Also I think it will be decriminalized
and legalized, because it is a spirit,
a plant spirit that we need, and we
need to stop fearing it, and it will
change our health system,” she
says. “Medicine, our allopathic
medical system, is all out of whack.
We pay doctors when we get sick.
The old ancient Chinese would pay
doctors when they were healthy. So
let’s just switch this paradigm.
Plant spirits, cannabis being one of
them, are part of that.”
In 2003 Etheridge married actress Tammy Lynn Michaels and also became an outspoken advocate
for the legalization of same-sex
marriage in every state. But her
same-sex marriage has not been immune to the same pressures that heterosexual couples have faced. Rumors began surfacing late last year
that Etheridge and Michaels were
on the rocks; in April the two announced that they were splitting up.
Although Etheridge says the
couple arrived at the split mutually,
Michaels seems to have a different
take on things. On her blog,
Michaels, 35, hints at being “blindsided” by the split and says Etheridge unilaterally made the move,
and she continued to profess her
love for Etheridge.
Asked about the split, Etheridge
says, “it was a horrible thing to go
through. We have children. I’m still
in the midst of it, redefining. It’s hard
to go through something like that,
and it’s really hard to go through
something like that in public.”
On Michaels’ reaction, Etheridge says, “She’s a vocal gal, and
she’s going to get her feelings out,
and that’s only fair. I get to sit down
and talk with (reporters) and get
my side of the story out — well, not
really my side, but my feelings —
and she’s got the right to get her
feelings out too.”
Etheridge has two children (13
and 11), with former partner Julie
Cypher, with whom she broke up in
2000, and three-year-old twins
with Michaels. The little ones, says
Etheridge, “will probably spend
most of their time with their other
mom when I am on the road, but the
big ones, when they’re not in camp
and doing other summer things,
will be on tour with me.”
Being away from her children,
says Etheridge, “is the price, the
sad part of touring.”

‘Fearless Love’:
Melissa Etheridge’s
new album features a
whole new band.
ARMANI • CHANEL • HERMES
M
elissa
Etheridge’s
new album, “Fearless Love,” is
somewhat of a stylistic departure
for her.
“Having done this now for 20
years, I have the pleasure now of
making an album for the art, simply for the pleasure of it,” says
Etheridge in a phone interview
from her Los Angeles home base as
she prepared for her 50-city summer tour, which brings her to the
State Theater in New Brunswick
on Friday, July 16.
“I love the freedom I have to do
exactly what I want and to be fearless about it. That was the whole
plan of this album, to be fearless in
every note, every word, every
melody, and just rock as hard as I
wanted to, and be fearless about it.”
Etheridge has been with the
same record company for 20 years,
and she wanted the opportunity to
rock out, to jam. Since she’s been
in the game for more than two
decades and sold millions of
records, she had the artistic freedom to call the shots. “I have an incredible record company that lets
me do what I want to do,” she says.
“They don’t suggest things — they
might say ‘please,’ but they don’t
threaten me. If I wanted to do an album of spoons, they’d say OK.”
Etheridge brought a new ensemble to this record. Her musicians —
John Shanks on guitar, Victor Indrizzo on drums, Sean Hurley on
bass, and Jamie Muhoberac on
keyboards — had never played
with her before. She says she was
searching for a new sound.
“It started with planning this album. I met with (Shanks, who produced the record), and we decided
that we were going to use completely new musicians, and that he
was going to bring in top guys, the
top musicians who were out there
right now,” Etheridge says. “So I
let go of the musicians I had, and
wished them well, sent them off
with love, and entered this project
brand spanking new. I looked for
the best road guys out there and put
together a whole new band.”
It wasn’t hard for her to find new
musicians. “The quality of musicians here in LA, this is where you
go, here and New York, if you’re at
the top of your game. All of these
guys have played with, collectively, Chris Cornell, Gwen Stefani,
Alanis Morissette, to Shakira.
They’ve played with everybody.”
She had the opportunity to perform with fellow female rockers
Joss Stone and Natasha Bedingfield, both British soulsters, as
backup singers on a couple of cuts
from the disc.
“I love these gals, they’re really
good singers and have an appreciation for the roots of music,” says
Etheridge. “R&B and rock and
roll. Especially the English gals.
The throwback to R&B, from
crazy Amy Winehouse on up,
they’re just amazing.”

Review: ‘The Turn of the Screw’
A
ghost story on a midsummer’s night may seem a little
counter-intuitive in keeping with
the season; that said, I have to admit — when a story works, it
works. “The Turn of the Screw,”
playing at Princeton Summer Theater on the Princeton University
campus through Sunday, July 11, is
a suitably spooky ghost story and
rock-solid testament to the talents
of two young actors in the telling of
a spellbinding, confounding,
thought-provoking, and altogether
enjoyable evening of theater.
Adapted from Henry James’
novella, Jeffrey Hatcher (best
known for the film “Stage Beauty”
and the play from which it was
adapted) sticks closely to the original work’s structure and twists and
turns. As in the novella, a young
governess is “seduced” by a charismatic aristocrat; her heightened
sense of romanticism and naivete
lures her into a journey to the English countryside to take charge of
eight-year-old Flora and her 10year-old brother, Miles. Flora
doesn’t speak, Miles shows signs
of dangerous imbalance, and the
housekeeper warns of a past incident that scarred both children
deeply. Over the course of a week,
the mystery of what happened to
these children unfolds, as a pair of
malevolent spirits reveal themselves and their horrific designs on
the inhabitants of the isolated
country estate.
Long story short: if you’ve read
the spooky little story, you know,
plot-wise, exactly what you’re getting here. The wonder of this tale,
however, comes in its telling;
Hatcher has pared the cast down to
two: the stalwart Governess
(Heather May), in the midst of the
story’s supernatural maelstrom,
and a versatile “Man” (Andy Linz),
who shifts his way through a myriad of roles. Director Domnique
Salerno chooses to take this same
tactic and cascade it through the
show’s design, presentation, and
pace, with words and characterization handling the heavy lifting. The
resulting effect is an amped-up version of a campfire ghost story: intimate, trusted, and tense, as it beckons you to lean in while the story-

teller preps his mostly ghastly revelations under the grim glow of a
flashlight.
A
nd, for the most part, it’s an
effectively minimalist tactic. Linz
flows readily from one role to another, from a wealthy and dashing
Londoner to an elderly housekeeper to a 10-year-old boy and back
again, and May responds dynamically and uniquely to each new
face. Allen Grimm’s sparse set de-
sign allows for the focus to
set completely on the actors,
with delicately-chosen color
and an overhead chandelier
ably drawing attention exactly where it needs to go. The
“no frills” presentation is
slightly turned on its ear late
in the evening, making for a
strong surprise at the play’s
climax.
Salerno’s choice to cherry-pick some ghost-story
tactics results in a subtle and
nuanced application of casual and unexpected fear.
We’re drawn in by the almost-folksy nature of the
two-person storytelling, and
when things take a more macabre
and deadly turn, the result is a feeling of edge-of-your-seat immediateness and dread. Without special
effects, without gore, without a
need for boogeyman-ish “boo!”
jump-scares, the PST company
creates an ever-encroaching sense
of dread and foreboding that
erupts, almost without warning,
into a life-or-death struggle for the
souls of both the governess and her
charges.
I had a great time at “The Turn of
the Screw”; I have to readily acknowledge, however, that it might
not be everyone’s cup of tea as far
as summer fare goes. If you like
your theater chock full of props and
set pieces and window-dressing,
you won’t find it here; a lone chair,
a chandelier, and a restrained use of
environmental effects are all we
get to portray the Harley Street
manor where the tale begins and
the country estate where the bulk of
it unfolds. I have to admire the
company’s dedication to the
stripped-down aesthetic of the
writing in every aspect of the production — but it also isn’t completely successful. For all his
chameleonic skill, Linz’s gull’s
cry, used to mark the passage of
time and further heighten the
mood, comes across as a little awkward and unintentionally funny. I
was left wishing that a Foley artist
(the person on a film crew who creates most of the natural, everyday
sounds) or other method of employing a soundscape had been utilized; it’s that one additional task
lumped upon two hardworking actors that overtaxes their considerable charm and breadth.
“The Turn of the Screw” isn’t
what I’d consider an obvious
choice for a summer theater’s
repertoire; it doesn’t leave you
trading bon mots with your date or
ready to bound on over to Thomas
Sweet’s for a post-show ice cream

in a cloud of forgettable cheeriness.
But it’s an awfully brave one for
this talented young company, and I
both applaud their choice and the
deft, beyond-their-years focus and
nuance in presenting this piece. If
you are in the mood for a solid
chiller and a spirited debate on the
exact nature of this brief tale’s
complex conclusion, take in “The
Turn of the Screw.” You won’t be
dissappointed.

ince neither youth nor
maturity are prerequisites for writing your first full-length play, it is
nevertheless encouraging that 57year-old Dan Klores, a lauded documentary filmmaker, has done just
that. Although “Little Doc” is as
perplexing in its purpose as it is
pedestrian in its presentation, it has
moments that convey Klores’s skill
with dramatic literature.
Klores, whose fame and fortune
has been indelibly linked for many
years to his successful Dan Klores
Communications firm, has been
busy of late redefining his highly
profiled life as a theatrical entrepreneur and more significantly as
an award-winning documentary
filmmaker (“The Boys of 2nd
Street Park” 2003, “Ring of Fire”;
The Emile Griffith Story, 2005;
“Crazy Love,” 2007). “Little Doc”
is his first full-length play, and it’s
a trip. But I’m not sure it’s a trip
that could be called either satisfying or properly guided.
Considering how “Crazy Love”
probed into the horrifying how and
possibly why of the very bizarre
(but true-life) relationship between
Burt and Linda Pugach (a story of
love, revenge, and reconciliation
that helped to fill the tabloids from
1959 to the present), we can see
glimpses in his first play of what
may have prompted or perhaps
even provoked Brooklyn-born
Klores to consider, among other
things, a potentially incendiary
love triangle and how it impacts the
wayward and wasted lives of four
childhood friends.
This is also a play, however, in
which a son’s failure in life is directly attributed to the presumed
misconduct and misguidance of his
father rather than to his peer associations. The play is at its most interesting as we learn how and why
these four friends chose to ignore
and disavow their potential. The tie
that binds them is fascinating and
potentially worthy of more than is
dramatized. Whether their excuses
are made persuasive is another
matter. Much of the dialogue,
when it’s coherent, validates the
closeness of these friends in their
late 20s as exceedingly bright,
even with hints of their being intellectually exceptional.
Brooklyn in the 1970s undoubtedly had its problems, but it is in
the living room of a one-bedroom
apartment under the El and above a
tiny neighborhood bar that four
childhood friends suddenly find
themselves facing a life-threatening situation. It isn’t necessarily

but rather the possibility that one of
them is a thief.
The action and dialogue of the
purely fictional “Little Doc,” under
the indulgent direction of John
Gould Rubin, would seem to fulfill
some of the basic requirements of a
play picked for production by the
uncompromisingly edgy 15-yearold Rattlestick Playwrights Theater. Although I am happy to report
that no one urinates for any prolonged length of time on the stage

frontal exposure in Adam Rapp’s
“Finer Noble Gases”) there is a decided interest and considerable affection at Rattlestick for plays that
resist dealing with traditionally acceptable behavior.
S
o therefore we can be grateful that “Little Doc” keeps things
only moderately gross when Billy
(Tobias Segal), a young man who
is scared of his own shadow pukes
with gusto into a sink following an
overdose of whatever it was that
that he recently swallowed and
more recently was shot into his arm
by his friend. (I doubt if it was
meant to be as funny as the puking
scene in “God of Carnage.”)
Billy doesn’t get to say much,
but he does get to curl up in a little
ball on the sofa as well as in corners
of the room while his dearest and
closest friends sit around and
drink, get high, and say accusatory
things that don’t necessarily make
sense either to themselves, to each
other (and indirectly to us) while
becoming progressively more belligerent and intolerant under the influence of an assortment of recently acquired drugs. If there is something to snort, sniff, inhale, or inject, then it’s a reason to party for
the insecure Billy, dejected Lenny
(Billy Tangradi), bossy Ric (Adam
Driver), and Ric’s conflicted girlfriend, Peggy (Joanne Tucker),
who was formerly married to
Lenny.
At the center of the play is Ric
(as played with appropriately con-
descending authority by Driver),
who has apparently given up pursuing a career in the medical profession (hence the title), and in his
rebelliousness, taken on a more
reckless avocation. Into the mix
comes another old acquaintance
and neighborhood goon, Angelo
(Salvatore Inzerillo), who has recently been released from jail. Angelo, who seems to be unhappy that
no one from the neighborhood except Ric wrote to him, has been
sent upstairs by oldster Manny
(Dave Tawil) the owner of the bar,
a small time racketeer and apparent
mentor to Ric, to find out who has
been stealing from him. He also
harbors suspicions about Weasel
(Steven Marcus), his long-time
friend and a local odds-maker of
college basketball games who is also Ric’s father.
A little roughhouse is obligatory
as Angelo applies (mercifully unseen) the prescribed methods of interrogation to Billy and Lenny in
an adjoining room. The acting responds almost nervously to the demands of the script. However, Inzerillo gives us some scary moments as the thuggish Angelo, and
Marcus is believable and defensive, as the appropriately named
Weasel. As Lenny, Tangradi endures mightily at the hands of Ric
but also has the play’s best line,
“Getting high brings millions of
people to a better place.” And Tawil is just sinister enough as Manny,
the unforgiving Jewish bar owner,
to let us know that he is going to
make someone suffer.
I was most amused by Tucker’s
lengthy (no pun intended) description of Peggy’s first experience
performing fellatio, all its ins and
outs. Designer David Rockwell’s
appropriately seedy-looking set divides the downstairs bar and the
upstairs apartment. There is a
greater divide and design in the
way that Klores defines Ric, as
when Manny, whom Ric idolizes,
says to Weasel, “I gotta know how
his (Ric’s) mind works, how he
could be so smart and stupid at the
same time.” The play somehow also manages to be both a little smart
and a little stupid. Mostly, it just
doesn’t live up to either its promise
or its premise. **

When Mixed Media Means Buttons, Zippers, & Thread
by Helen Schwartz
H
igh fashion takes the
spotlight at area museums in a
group of exhibitions that serve up a
thoughtful look at things we wear
— from head to toe. At the James
Michener Museum in Doylestown,
PA, the lavish costumes and accessories that transformed the silver
screen into a land of dreams are
featured in “Icons of Costume:
Hollywood’s Golden Era and Beyond.” In Morristown, NJ, some
300 pairs of shoes, including those
that belonged to inventor Thomas
Edison, Yogi Berra’s sneakers, and
slippers that were the property of
Pope Pius XII, are among the feetured attractions in “The Shoe Must
Go On!” at the Morris Museum.
And the work of Philadelphia designer Michelle Berkowitz, also at
the Michener, shows how dressing
up can be translated into an artistic
statement. In the process, these exhibitions function collectively as a
lesson in the language of fashion; a
material narration that illustrates
how what we wear speaks of who
we are — our history, social status,
sense of humor, cultural connections, ethnicity, and more.
“Costume is non-verbal communication,” says costume historian Edward Maeder, special guest
curator at the Michener, describing
it as a form of material narration.
“In film, it instantly sets the stage,
fixes the time period. Before the
actress opens her mouth you know
who she is.”
“Icons of Costume” takes a loving look at an era when Hollywood
set the style, with a generous sampling of elegant wearables by celebrated designers. The Oscar-winning roster includes such legendary names as Edith Head (with
35 nominations and eight Oscars)
as well as Adrian, Walter Plunkett,
Orry-Kelly, and Bob Mackie. The
assembled gowns, men’s costumes, and accessories from the
1940s through the 1990s were
worn by a star-studded cast of performers including such headliners
as Warren Beatty, Errol Flynn, Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor.
And the telling mix is enriched
with original art, old-time movie
memories, and a nostalgia-producing array of images.
According to curator Erika
Jaeger-Smith, the names are as big
a draw as the clothes, but she notes
that the costumes ultimately upstage the actors. “(Visitors) leave
knowing where the actual art lies,
and that’s with the designers.” She
says the featured works still have
meaning after a half-century, describing them as “remarkable survivals” — old-style clothing that
remains significant in the era of the
mini and the Goth. “Their impact
on today’s fashions is immediately
recognizable.”
In the exhibition, couturiere Elsa Schiaparelli is quoted as saying,
“What Hollywood designs today,
you will be wearing tomorrow.”
Hollywood fashion firsts include
padded shoulders (Adrian for Joan
Crawford), the cling dress, and the
pillbox hat (Adrian for Greta Garbo, 1932). More than 50,000
copies of a dress he designed for
Joan Crawford in “Letty Lynton”
were shipped to the Macy’s New
York City stores alone.
Drawn from a private collection,
the exhibition focuses on Hollywood’s early decades with costumes assembled, in part, from Best
Costume Academy Award nominees. Among them are six from
films that actually took the Oscar
home. Staged chronologically, it
offers a capsule history of costume
Head to Toe: From ‘Icons of Costume’ at the

Head, above left, worn by Barbara Stanwyck in

Man in the Iron Mask,’ 1977; and costume designed by Milena Canonero/Ulla-Britt Soderlund,
worn by Ryan O’Neal in ‘Barry Lyndon,’ 1975.

and the Hollywood film. A supporting cast of rare publicity stills, lobby cards, jewelry, and film props
helps tell the story and recreate the
essence of Hollywood glamour.
Visitors to the Michener can also get into the act in their own
screen test. Up to four aspiring actors at a time can stage a test of their
own design in which they chose
from a selection of costumes and
scripts. The results are then uploaded to the museum’s page on
YouTube.com. Screen tests cost
$20 and can be purchased online at
the museum’s website or by calling
800-595-4849.
The exhibition remains on view
through August 29. It will then
open at the Morris Museum on October 3 and continue through December 5.
A companion exhibition offers a
sampling of fashion as art with the
work of Philadelphia designer
Michelle Berkowitz, whose handmade clothing is informed by the
past. Using antique fabric and trim,
with period sewing techniques, her
one-of-a-kind gowns include such
modular components as crinolines,
underskirts, jackets and wraps that
can be interchanged to create
unique outfits.
If “The Shoe Must Go On” is any
indication, what we put on our feet
can be as glamorous as the opulent
gowns from the silver screen. What
is more, what covers the foot often
has a story to tell about the wearer,
one that speaks of other ways and
other days. In fact, the range of narrative created by the shoe often
functions as a history lesson or a bit
of social commentary, making this
exhibition food for some serious
thought as well as a particularly entertaining collection.
“Shoes can tell us something
about the place and time in which
they were made and often something about ourselves as well,”
says Linda S. Moore, co-curator
and chief operating officer of the
museum. “This is not just about
fashion. We wanted to show what
shoes can tell us about the culture
in which they were produced and
who is wearing them.”
To that end the exhibition is divided into 15 sections spanning
four centuries and include sports,
high-style fashion, famous designers, New Jersey and national politics, children’s wear, shoe-inspired
whimsy, and “What’s Hot Now.”
The assembled array of show-stopping footwear is made from silks
and satins, furs, precious metals,
jewels, vegetables, recycled materials, animal skins, and even
chocolate. The rich mix, which begins chronologically with slippers
that belonged to Mary, Queen of
Scots (1542-87), is brought up to
date with combat boots worn by
General David Petraeus and the
walking cast that Sonia Sotomayor,
associate justice, U.S. Supreme
Court, wore during her Congressional confirmation hearings.
“We cast a pretty broad net,”
says Moore. “We were looking at
shoes from all walks of life.”
Most telling, perhaps, in this instructive collection is the section
that examines cultural differences.
Three exhibits look at
fashion — from Hollywood costumes to
shoes — as high art.
“We wanted to show what shoes
can tell us about the societies in
which they were produced” says
Moore. “Here, especially, they are
more than just shoes.”
T
he global array of footwear
speaks clearly of human diversity
with tiny, elaborate Chinese shoes
made for bound feet, peasant sandals made from rice stalks, woven
rubber shoes from Korea, Native
American beaded moccasins, gold
embroidered slippers from Algeria,
shoes made of finely etched silver
from Turkey, and fur-lined Inuit
boots.
There is also a generous helping
of style with sections on designers,
heel design, and early 20th-century
party shoes. Notable among them
is the innovative work of Dolce &
Gabbana, Ferragamo, Gucci, Prada, and Roger Vivier. And “What’s
Hot Now” includes the latest —
shoes by such contemporary stars
as Manolo Blahnik, Marc Jacobs,
Stuart Weitzman, and Giuseppe
Zanotti.
The section on heels highlights
the variety that marks shoe design.
Some are curved. Others are curly
or straight. There are those made of
gold or Lucite, studded with rhinestones, even interchangeable heels
that alter the height and line of the
shoe. Moore points out that some
innovative designs actually hold a
patent. “People don’t realize that
shoes are not just shoes, that there
are actually patents on some heel
designs.”
While shoes are often second
banana in the fashion hierarchy,
some of the original owners of the
featured footwear help put this collection in the spotlight. Shoes that
belonged to first First Lady Martha
Washington share space with those
of such newsworthy contemporaries as Mario Batali and Eliot
Spitzer.
There is even a New Jersey angle. Moore says, “We tried to make
as many local connections as we
could.” To that end there are shoes
worn by Governor Chris Christie
as well as those of his predecessors,
including Thomas Kean, Christie
Whitman, and Richard Codey. And
personal letters accompany Princeton historian James McPherson’s
tennis shoes and a pair of hand-embroidered house slippers made for
Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen by his mother.
Former New York Giants defensive end George Martin walked
across the United States to raise
money for medical care for the first
responders to the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks on the United
States. He walked from New York
City’s George Washington Bridge
to San Diego, from September 16,
2007 to June 21, 2008, covering
more than 3,000 miles, using 27
pairs of shoes, and raising about $2
million. A pair of Martin’s shoes
that made the journey is now on
display, along with a football commemorating his walk.
Another recent addition to the
exhibition is an art quilt, Fancy
Footwork, by New York Citybased artist Madeleine Appell.
The art of shoemaking is
brought to light in the section
called Tools of the Trade with a
cobbler’s bench, complete with
boot and shoe lasts, an assortment
of vintage tools, and a chart showing the anatomy of a shoe. The
telling mix is enriched with shoeinspired original art including a
work by Wayne Thiebaud and another, “High Heel Factory,” made
especially for this exhibition from
shoe-making
machinery
by
Stephen Gerberich.

parsed: The Golandsky Institute’s
Summer Symposium and Piano
Festival gets its name from pianist
Edna Golandsky, its artistic director. The Institute builds on the pioneering work of Golandsky’s mentor, Dorothy Taubman, who developed a healthy approach to piano
playing that combines powerful
technique with physical comfort.
Every July since 2004 the Institute has come to Princeton. The
symposium offers participants a
week-long set of daytime lectures,
lessons, master classes, and practice opportunities. The festival
consists of a series of evening concerts. All events are open to the
public. Full information is available on the website, www.golandskyinstitute.org/summersymposium.
Among the daytime events of
special interest to those in the
Princeton area is a lecture celebrating the 200th anniversary of Frederic Chopin’s birth. Area resident
Mariam Nazarian, who has performed repeatedly in Princeton,
talks about Chopin’s B Minor
Sonata on Wednesday, July 14, at 3
p.m., in McCormick Auditorium at
the Princeton University Art Museum.
Other lectures treat Chopin’s
“Fantaisie-Impromptu” and his
“Polonaise-Fantaisie.”
Symposium presentations include a talk
about piano care and sessions on
wholesome approaches to both violin playing and computer use.
Music critic Tim Page tells about
growing up with undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome.
The roster of performers at
evening concerts includes solo pianists Gulsin Onay (Sunday, July
11); Josu De Solaun Soto (Monday,
July 12); Sean Duggan (Thursday,
July 15); and Ilya Itin (Friday, July
16). Pianist Thomas Bagwell performs with baritone Christopher
Dylan Herbert on Tuesday, July 13.
Pianists Takeshi Ohbayashi and
Christian Li perform with a bassist,
saxophonist, and flutist from the
Berklee Global Jazz Institute on
Saturday, July 17. All concerts take
place at 8 p.m. in Taplin Auditorium in Fine Hall on the Princeton
campus.
by Elaine Strauss
In a telephone interview from
Florida, Sean Duggan talks about
his July 15 Princeton program. A
repeat performer at the Golandsky
Festival, Duggan is the pianist in
the clerical collar who specializes
in Bach. As a concert artist, he lists
himself as Father Sean Duggan.
“It will be all Bach this year,”
Duggan says, “early, middle, and
late.” Music from the early and
middle periods comes before intermission. The “Toccata in D Major”
represents the early period. Middle
period pieces are the “Six Little
Preludes” and the “Fantasy and
Fugue in A minor.” After intermission comes Bach’s “Partita No. 4,”
a late piece.
Two weeks before the performance, Duggan mulls over the possibility of enlarging the program.
“The first part is probably not long
enough,” he says. “I may add the
‘Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue’ or
something else. I want to play at
least 30 minutes before intermission. The Partita, after the intermission, takes about 35 minutes.”
Life interferes with performing.
Duggan’s father died less than a
month ago. “I had a different program in mind until my dad’s health
took a turn for the worse,” Duggan
says. “I wanted to play a program
of ‘Spirituality at the Keyboard’
with Bach, Liszt, and Messiaen. It
would have required more practice
than I could give it. I think I’ll do it
next year.”
Duggan was born in Jersey City
in 1954. His father was an engineer. When Duggan was four the
family moved to Seattle. About
three years later, they moved to the
Cape Canaveral, Florida, area. His
mother still lives there. “The family was musical in a general way,”
he says. “They cared about music.
We sang and did some piano. My
sister, who’s one and a half years
younger than I am, has a wonderful
voice and is involved with church
music. My father’s younger brother was a pianist and a priest.”
Piano lessons for Duggan start-

ed at age 10 with the local church
organist. He earned his undergraduate music degree at Loyola University in New Orleans and a master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh in 1979.
For three years he was the Pittsburgh Opera Company’s pianist
and assistant chorus master. He also taught piano at Carnegie Mellon
and was a member of the Carnegie
Mellon Piano Trio. “As long as we
were around Carnegie Mellon we
kept the trio going. It evaporated
when we went our separate ways.”
Duggan left Pittsburgh to enter
the Benedictine order at St. Joseph
Abbey near Covington, Louisiana,
in 1982, earned a master’s degree
in theology from Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1988.
“The Benedictine encouragement
of spirituality and the arts is what
attracted me to the order,” he says.
After entering the monastery, he
twice won the Johann Sebastian
Bach International Competition
for Pianists in Washington, D.C.
The prize each time consisted of
concerts in the United States and a
two-month concert tour in Germany.
From 2001 to 2004 he was a visiting professor at the University of
Michigan. Since then he has been
on the faculty of the State University of New York at Fredonia, where
this year he was granted tenure.
“As far as Fredonia is concerned, I can stay there indefinitely,” Duggan says. “But my religious community may not totally
agree. Benedictines take three
vows. One is the vow of stability.
You agree to be with a particular religious community for life. That’s
usually understood in a physical
sense. But it can also be understood
as relational. The life that I’m leading can be seen as a part of Benedictine spirituality. My monastery
has been very generous to me.
“I am an unusual case. In the middle of my life I discovered an unusual love and ability for teaching piano
on the college level. That’s why I’m
allowed to do this. Still, I keep up
with the religious life. At Fredonia I
live in a rectory. I’m not part of the
staff, but I’m in residence. I help out
with masses and help the campus
ministry. I’ve got a few irons in the
fire at Fredonia.
“I’ll probably return to the community in 2013. Then, I won’t be as
free to perform as I am now. I’ll
have assignments that are not related to piano teaching and performance.”
At Fredonia, Duggan is recording the non-organ keyboard works
of Bach. His goal is to finish by
2013. “What’s great about recording is that you can remove mistakes,” he says.
“I’m trying to preserve the feeling of a live performance. I’m trying to imagine that I’m playing for
an audience, which I really am, except that the audience is not there
yet. It helps to perform on stage,
rather than in a recording studio.
The live ambiance is there when
you’re on stage.”
‘F
redonia has an SRT program — Sound Recording Technology. You can major in it. I’m lucky
that one of the guys on the faculty is
my producer. He leaves me alone
when I record. I do as many takes as
I want. That way I feel less pressure. Then we sit down together and
choose. I can do as many takes as I
want without thinking that I’m
driving somebody crazy.”
In 1996 Duggan was invited to
perform at what he calls “Taubman
Institute gatherings,” summer
workshops presenting the work of
master teacher Dorothy Taubman,
who developed the unforced pianism that Edna Golandsky carries
on. Already then, the gatherings in-
After entering a Benedictine monastery Father Sean Duggan twice won
the Johann Sebastian Bach International Competiton for Pianists.
A little common sense goes a long way. The Taubman Method Captured on DVD
When Johann Sebastian Bach was a boy, the
story goes, a fluid keyboard technique was
considered out of the question. Teachers of
the time thought that it was impossible to use
the thumb. They believed that a keyboard instrument had to be played with straight fingers extended directly forward. Since the
thumb is so much shorter than the other fingers, it cannot reach the keys. You can try this
at home.
Bach’s revolutionary insight was that if a
keyboard player allowed the fingers to curve,
the thumb could reach the keyboard. And facility at the keyboard was on its way.
Some of the insights of the Taubman/Golandsky approach to piano playing are
similarly suffused with common sense. You
can’t hang on to a note at one end of the hand,
while the other fingers play elsewhere? Let
go. You can’t connect notes a long distance
from each other? Use the pedal. One hand
can’t manage all the notes in the chord written for it? Play some of them with the other
hand. You want to play fast? Use muscles
that move quickly.
Still, common sense is not everything.
Technology is a major ingredient in the Taubman/Golandsky impact. A library of DVDs
captures the insights that Taubman began to
ferret out in the 1940s. The foundation of the
library is a 10-disc set called “Virtuosity in a
Box.” Starting with fundamentals, it is based
on the set of lectures Edna Golandsky delivered at Dorothy Taubman’s summer sessions
in the 1980s and 1990s. Taubman herself is a
participant in the “Virtuosity” discs.
Other DVDs deal with topics that came to
obsess Golandsky in recent years: the question of rhythmic propulsion and continuity is
addressed in the DVD called “The Art of
Rhythmic Expression,” and how to exploit
the lines of music hidden below the melody
is addressed in the DVD called “Forgotten
Lines.”
Another series of discs provides master
classes on particular pieces and lectures on
specialized topics. The presenters are associates of Golandsky who are expected to turn
up for the Golandsky Princeton events. They
include John Bloomfield, Father Sean Duggan, Robert Durso, Ilya Itin, and Mary
Moran. Duggan, the only member of the
team with whom I discussed the DVDs, says
cluded performances by exemplary artists, as well as Taubmantrained pianists. “They kept inviting me back,” Duggan says. “I sat
in on lectures and was fascinated.
In the fall of 2001, when I was invited to Michigan on a three-year
appointment, I thought it was a perfect time to learn more. I would fly
to New York once or twice a month
to study with Edna.
“The Golandsky/Taubman approach is useful for Bach,” Duggan
says. “It’s useful for any piano playing. Ease at the keyboard, facility,
and tone production come into play
with Bach. Even pedaling. I believe
that when you’re playing Bach on
the piano, you should use the resources of the piano to make the
music come alive. If you try to
make the piano sound like a harpsichord, the pieces sound dry and
lifeless. You have to be true to Bach
and, also, true to the piano.
“Edna had a big impact on my
performing and my teaching,” Duggan says. “My performing keeps
improving, and my teaching has
grown a lot. Edna is a remarkable
teacher. She has incredible insight.
She knows the right words to use to
get you to do the right thing. She has
razor-sharp eyes and ears. A lot of
teachers have that, but she has it to
an extent that I have never before
experienced in anybody else.”

that he uses “Virtuosity in a Box” as a review
for himself. “It’s pretty much orthodox,” he
adds, chuckling, as he enjoys his theological
choice of word.
The recordings are live. Astonishingly,
explanations are lucid and well-expressed.
The atmosphere is spontaneous. In one presentation, Duggan searches for his misplaced
notes during a lecture. In another, an intrepid
member of the audience asks Edna Golandsky to stop talking and just play what she’s
trying to explain.
The DVDs have extended Golandsky’s
global scope. Participants in Norway or Korea or Australia have learned of the DVDs on
the Internet, ordered them online, discovered
that they still have a few questions, and come
to the Princeton summer symposium in
search of additional answers. P..S. It is now
possible to take Golandsky piano lessons using Skype.

T
he idea for VPR International was generated by Amos Warren’s father, Robert Warren. In
1969 Robert Warren founded an
executive search firm that focused
on team liftouts.
“When he first started doing
these things called liftouts it was a
new concept of moving entire
groups of investment professionals
as a team from one asset management firm to another, bringing with
them an intact performance track
record and assets to follow,” said
Blane. “It ultimately became a very
lucrative way for an asset management firm to grow and to expand
their own business. Alternatively,
they would either have to develop
these new managers internally.
That takes quite a bit of time.
And also money, as far as getting
outside investment. Or they would
have to acquire an entire firm,
which takes a tremendous amount
of money. So the liftouts became a
very powerful way for investment
management firms to grow effectively and Robert became kind of a
legend in the industry as a result.”
The team knew Robert Warren
through their friendship with his
son Amos at Princeton.

about keeping our team together

JULY 7, 2010
Qforma Moves Up, but Not Too Far
Qforma, a pharma analytics company based in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, has moved its
Princeton office from 20 to 40
Nassau Street to help accommodate a recent expansion.
The company, Qforma has
nearly doubled its overall staff in
the last 18 months, from 22 to
40, including a 23-percent increase in staff in Princeton.
Qforma develops analytical
software tools designed to help
doctors and pharma clients organize data from disparate
sources and identify patterns.
The company attributes much of
its recent success — which
comes counter to the current
wave of instability gnawing at
the pharmaceutical industry in
the state — to its ability to predict trends based on patterns in
the data.
The company also advises
companies on business practices, management, and staffing.
The company was founded a
decade ago in Santa Fe, its technology based on datamining
tools developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and expanded to Princeton about four
years ago to be near the pharma
us, that was when the genesis of the
idea really occurred. When he
started talking about a way to gather a very unique dataset and to empower individual Investment professionals with a tool to track and
manage their own professional development.”
Blane didn’t expect to find a career in Princeton when he came to
the university. He moved back to
the area to join the first startup,
which was located in Research
Park, across from the Princeton
Airport.
The decision to locate the new
startup in Princeton was based
partly on a desire to leverage the
university atmosphere. The company hopes to eventually establish
mutually beneficial relationships
with university departments. “But
really, we all just have a special
place in our hearts for Princeton,”
said Blane.
“We enjoy being here and we
like the atmosphere. We got somewhat lucky in finding space that fit
our budget but also is newly renovated.”
The company’s current focus is
on the U.S., especially the major
money centers of New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, but they
would like to eventually serve
clients throughout the world.
Blane grew up in Amherst,
Massachusetts, the son of parents
who were both on the staff of the
University of Massachusetts. He
graduated from Princeton in 1997
with a degree in molecular biology
and intended to go to medical
school, but changed course abruptly.
“I started out somewhat leveraging my degree in that I was involved in the business side of laboratory equipment sales and doing a
specialized type of lab equipment,” said Blane. “I came in at an
entry level position and worked my
way up. Eventually I was running
global sales management for that
company.”
He left that company to join the
start-up venture with his classmates. “There I stepped back from
the sales management role and put
the direct sales hat on. I focused on
that and wound up building that
company’s business successfully,
to the point where we wound up in
acquisition and a successful exit.
“My role was the accidental
salesman. I just wound up getting
hub of central New Jersey. The
company recently inked an
agreement with newspaper USA
Today to offer consumers nationwide a free online database
for locating the most influential
doctors in major metropolitan
areas in the U.S.
Qforma’s Princeton office is
overseen by Alan Reicheg, who
has served as the company’s senior vice president of business development since it got here in
2006. Reicheg earned his bachelor’s in economics from Rutgers
before beginning his career in
pharmaceuticals. He started in
1989 as a medical sales representative at Carter Wallace and
then became manager of sales
training and development there.
Reicheg then worked in marketing and managed care with
MedPointe Pharmaceuticals and
Savient Pharmaceuticals before
joining Commodicast, later renamed Qforma.

and also Fortune 100 companies.
“I enjoy that very much and
transitioned that to my role here,
where I wear the primary sales hat
and drive the relationship building
and presentations and so forth,” he
says.
Blane was attracted to a career
in start-up companies due to the
ability to guide his own destiny.
“It’s the ability to do or die by the
decisions you and your partners are
making,” he said. “That’s something that’s compelling to me, to all
of us really, which is why we work
so well together.
“There is a lot more anxiety,
stress and nerve-racking moments
in the start-up entrepreneurial environment, but the tradeoff is you
only have yourself to blame for
your failures or to thank for your
successes. It makes it much more
exhilarating and rewarding from a
business perspective.”

Levin Management, a North
Plainfield-based retail property
management and leasing company,
plans major renovations to Hamilton Plaza Shopping Center at
Route 33 and White Horse-Hamilton Square Road in Mercerville.
The main project is the expansion of the plaza’s ShopRite site.
ShopRite has over the past decade
revamped its image by converting
many of its older locations in the
state into “World Class ShopRite”
stores. The updated stores sell a
wider diversity of products and an
expanded gourmet and international line.
Levin plans to remove the front
section of the supermarket and expand the back in order to reconfigure about 86,000 square feet of retail space. Parking is also to be expanded and the roof is to be replaced.
The store is expected to remain
open during the expansion.
Hamilton Plaza also is home to
A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts and Vito’s Pizza. Levin says its plans to
reconfigure ShopRite could generate an additional 28,000 square
feet of space for retail.

teens learn how to design a market
strategy and use library and Internet resources to find business information; entrepreneurship, in
which teens learn to build a team
business plan; and leadership,
learning how to be a team player in
a global business environment.
The business of team dynamics. Crawford participates in the
teamwork and leadership segment
and stresses the importance of interacting with others. The topic, he
says, covers how to deal with conflict in a simplified way, how to
work and make decisions in a team
environment, how to influence or
motivate a team, and how to create
a team identity.
“In today’s world, working in
teams and collaborations is the
way things happen,” he says.
“With this, it’s hands-on learning,
so it’s fun. The things that we teach
them get to be applied right away.
Each exercise illustrates the lesson.”
Working with others, particularly in a global business community,
is an increasingly important skill,
especially as teens spend more
time using technology to communicate instead of having face-toface contact. “To some extent,”
Crawford says, “technology makes
business impersonal and reduces
face-to-face relationships. We try
to show them how to apply technology so they’re not overusing
technology.”
“Their future is going to be all

Are You On YouTube?
You Really Should Be
I
f you think YouTube is just for
kids, you’re making a big mistake.
It wasn’t just the under-30 set that
boosted the video-hosting site to a
new milestone of 2 billion hits a
Today’s technology
allows us all to be
videomakers. So give
your business the
Hollywood treatment.
day in mid-May.
“What’s interesting is that some
days YouTube gets more traffic
than Google,” says Ed Andriessen
of Business Training Resource in
Hamilton. “It’s the 800-pound gorilla in the search engine world.”
But fear not for Google. It owns
YouTube.
Much of YouTube’s usage is due
to its entertainment value: clips
from television shows, songs from
concerts, even kids’ dance recitals.
But people are discovering that
YouTube is also useful for research, especially if you want to
learn how to do something — how
to make a blog post on WordPress,
how to fire someone. Or even how
to make a YouTube video.
Of course, videos are also useful
tools for marketing your business
and educating your customers on
how to use a product or service too.
With the help of YouTube and
some free or inexpensive tools,
you can create videos, and post
them for the world to see. Then you
can either send your customers a
link or use a bit of computer code
that YouTube provides that will allow people to view the video on
your website.
And all of this is free to you, because YouTube makes its money
from ads placed to the right of your
video; these advertise products and
services that may interest the same
population that has selected to
view your video. When someone
clicks on one of the ads, the advertiser pays Google a fee.
Andriessen will speak on how to
use YouTube to market a business
at the Mercer Regional Chamber of
Commerce on Thursday, July 14, at
8:30 a.m. at the Trenton Marriott.
JULY 7, 2010
Cost: $35. Visit mercerchamber.org or call 609-689-9960.
Create your own video channel. A channel is your personal
page on YouTube, where you can
post videos related to your business. These comprise not only the
videos you have created, but others
on YouTube that you think are related to your business or service
and whose creators have allowed
them to be shared.
Decide on your desired outcome. Your goals for a video may
be as varied as making sales, building a brand, or educating customers on how to do business with
you.
Figure out your strategy. Your
strategy may involve more than
just creating a video. It may include E-mail blitzes, making use of
informational videos that already
exist, or combining videos with a
blog, and other related activities.
Suppose, for example, you own
a sporting goods store and have a
backlog of Shimano fishing reels
that you want to get rid of. How
could you best use YouTube to further your aim?
First, you might want to search
for videos that review the reels you
want to sell (to get an idea of what
kinds of videos are available, go to
YouTube and search for “Shimano
reels”). Then you might create a
short video about how a customer
can order reels from you.
After posting all of these videos
on your YouTube channel (which
is comparable to a Facebook page),
you can send E-mails to your customers and to those likely to be interested in rods and reels, such as
subscribers to “Field and Stream”
magazine. Your E-mail should invite them to your YouTube channel
to see some videos about the reels
and also let them know that the
rods will be on sale until the end of
the month.
Make it quick. Create one or
more very brief videos of no more
than two or three minutes.
First create a script or storyboard about what you want to say
in the video. “Winging it doesn’t
work that well,” says Andriessen.
If a video is not scripted and practiced, the inevitable result is numerous takes.
You will also need to purchase
an inexpensive webcam or a Flip
video cam to shoot your video.
Many cameras even have software
to automatically upload videos to
YouTube. To show how easy it is,
Andriessen is going to interview
someone during his talk and upload the video to YouTube. “The
barriers to having your own videos
on the Internet have disappeared,”
he says.
Next, edit the video. “You can
put up the video raw, but I usually
like to have a little bit of editing,”
says Andriessen. He often uses
Windows Movie Maker to add
opening and closing slides. The
open slide, which would show for
five to six seconds, introduces the
topic of the video and his company’s name. He will then talk for
two to three minutes and end with a
slide that includes his telephone
number and the URL for his web-

Overcoming the Pain of Unemployment
B
eing out of work is stressful, but there are ways to manage
the anxiety.
Tom Brophy, former owner
of Brophy’s Shoes in Princeton
and 18-year veteran of New Jersey’s Department of Labor, will
offer insights into managing the
depression and anxiety that ends
up hindering job searches on
Tuesday, July 13, at noon at the
First Presbyterian Church of Titusville. . The free event is part
of the church’s “Mercer Business and Professionals BrownBag Luncheon. Visit www.titusvillechurch.org or call 609737-1385.
Brophy is the author of “Little
Victories: Conquering Unemployment” (available at Amazon
for $19.99). In it he writes about
the secret life of the unemployed
— how much of our identities
are tied to our jobs and the sense
of loss and dismay that comes
from unemployment.
“Unemployment is a world
unto itself where we are thrust
into a new ‘neighborhood’ and
are expected to know exactly
what to do,” he writes. “We’re
site, which he will leave on for 8 to
10 seconds.
Movie Maker also lets videomakers split and trim film clips,
add clips, and put in transitions.
Don’t know how to use Movie
Maker? That’s fine. All you have to
do is bring up instructional videos
on YouTube.
Finally, upload the video. Just
Click on YouTube’s “upload my
video” button to begin the process.
Andriessen estimates that a twominute video will take about 10
minutes to upload. YouTube will
convert your video to a format that
can be viewed on YouTube.
Be content with your content.
When companies express worry
about where they will get enough
content for a video channel, Andriessen suggests that people use
content that is out there on the Web.
Relevant YouTube videos and
written pieces from article directories like ezinearticles.com (which
allows people to use the content as
long as they include a link to the
person who wrote the article) work
well.
And in doing all of this, don’t
neglect your blog, which should be
crafted in conjunction with your
YouTube site. For his blog, Andriessen will add a short teaser to
introduce the content.
Andriessen grew up in the
Bronx and moved to Monmouth
County when he was 10. Although
he did start college, studying psychology, he never finished and instead moved into the real estate
business. He spent several years in
residential real estate with such
companies as U.S. Homes, Weiner
Homes, and ERA Resale Professionals, where he helped his father
build his own real estate business.

numb, and we spend the next
three months going through the
motions — not grasping what really happens.”
What happens, he writes, is
pain and disbelief, emotions that
can cripple our initiative to find
new work. Too often, we simply
rehash and relive what was, losing precious time finding what’s
next.
Brophy says he was devastated when his family shoe store
closed. He then joined the state
Department of Labor’s unemployment division, where he
spent 15 years managing an unemployment office and an overall 18 years counseling more
than 40,000 professionals who
were in the same situation he had
been.
“I never forgot the gut
wrenching experience of being
unemployed,” Brophy says. “I
created a program called Transition Layoff Counseling, in
which I spent 90 minutes doing
one-on-one interviews with
clients and giving feedback.
Ninety-two percent were back to
work in five months.”

His father had been one of the principal builders of the Rossmoor and
Clearbrook senior communities
who then opened a brokerage that
sold only to those communities.
Andriessen’s also was as regional sales manager for K. Hovanian
in Red Bank, from 1996 to 2005.
But when times got tight, Andriessen was let go, and he changed
direction. “I had developed some
really good skills in sales, marketing, technology, quality assurance,
and training,” he says.
So he went to work for a consulting firm, the Sharrow Group of
Rochester, New York. After a couple of years, he sat down with a
business mentor to explore
whether his skills from the homebuilding industry were transferable
to other industries.
Andriessen was able to pursue
his technology training and consulting business out of that office.
His focus is on helping people and
companies to use Internet marketing tools such as blogs, E-mail
managers, video, video E-mail,
and web conferencing. “I realized
that small to medium-sized business need help in closing the gap
between ‘I want to do this’ and “I
don’t know how,’” he says.
