To the editor: Spend now, ask questions later

A

site, it is not hauling the compost, it has the ability to mandate participation, control contamination, and have deep pockets to pay for repairs and competent staff to oversee the program.

From the failure of the initial program we learned transparency is important. We learned that contamination is a big issue and that voluntary programs, even with widespread support, don’t generate high participation numbers.

None of the critical issues responsible for the failure of the first program have been addressed by the elected officials who voted yes on the digester.

We all want to be optimists, and with the climate crisis looming we all want to support green action. It is easy to vote to spend now and worry about the logistics later. It isn’t bold to support voluntary composting in 2019; what is bold is advocating for good governance.

Good green policies are well researched; they are transparent, authentic, and impactful. They help the planet and make good fiscal sense. The current proposal to have the town take on hauling the compost, operating a digester, hiring more municipal staff, a private paid “consultant,” and buying trucks, the cost of which is all based on estimates, isn’t good use of taxpayers’ dollars. It sadly lacks all the elements of a good green policy.

t the August 5 Council meeting the mayor and council (with the exception of Eve Niedergang) voted to spend $20K of hard-earned taxpayer money to acquire a “donated” digester (The Echo, August, 2019). The idea behind the initial investment is that it will allow the town to resurrect its curbside composting program. The initial program, unlike the current one being proposed, was designed as a pilot. The goals of the program were to reduce food waste and more importantly to serve as a model of a successful program that would eventually scale to composting for all residents and be duplicated by other towns.

That program had the public support of the Princeton Environmental Commission, Sustainable Princeton, all of council, the mayor, local green activists, many residents, and myself.

The donated digester can’t scale to support full composting and it isn’t going to offer towns a model to follow. Several green activists came out against the proposed program. Princeton University is using a digester, yes, but the elements that make its program successful are unfortunately lacking in ours. The university’s digester is on Chestnut Street

Word from Windy Top

S

eparately, the first two single-family homes of the Windy Top subdivision on Snowden Lane are now on the market. Overall there are seven lots on the site, though there was no timetable available for when all the homes will be constructed.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom home at 1 Windy Top Court is listed for sale at $1,699,000; the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 3 Windy Top Court is listed for $1,649,000.

Windy Top, named for a farm that once stood there, is directly across the street from Smoyer Park and had until recently been undeveloped. In fact, a 2004 letter to the Town Topics celebrated the continued, undisturbed land at Windy Top in the face of a proposal to remove multiple trees in order to install sidewalks on parts of Snowden Lane: “Windy Top in the distance reassures me that all is not yet the tract housing of the Windsors, nor the Belgian-blocked McMansions of Brooks Bend,” wrote Fairfax Hutter.

But times have changed.

decided to change my biking route in the morning to include a path around Herrontown Woods. I thought all the area around the natural reserve was in fact a “reserve” but happened upon a shoddy little development on Windy Top Court, which includes the cheapest vinyl sided houses that I have ever seen. Right across from Smoyer Park is the first two many houses for this development. The first house features various vinyl sidings in various shades running perpendicular to one another, in the most bizarre way. Can this be? And just like “the barns” these are eyesores in the midst of some of our most precious land in Princeton.

Telling a storyteller’s story

By George Point

F

or some of us our experience as storytellers began and ended the day we attempted to explain to a teacher how “a squirrel ate my homework!” For others storytelling only takes place at the bedside of a child while they struggle to stay awake for a few minutes more. But for Princeton resident Kathryn Weidener storytelling is not simply something she loves to do; thanks to her talent, perseverance, and a bit of luck she has made it her profession.

As president of the New Jersey Storytellers Network, she and a cohort of tale-telling colleagues from the tri-state area are busy preparing for their signature annual event: the New Jersey Storytelling Festival at Howell Living History Farm on Saturday, September 14.

Not that Weidener’s storytelling talent was passed on to her from her parents.

“Not really, no,” she says. “My older brother always claimed I was born talking. He had a stutter, and it was a family legend that my brother trained me to speak in his place.”

She does allow that her parents were both avid readers. “My dad loved poetry,” she says. “He would recite poetry at

the grocery store if he was bored. And the establishment of an accounting at the very end of his life, the only thing practice of her own. he responded to was poetry.”

There was also the small matter of Looking back, Weidener observes starting a family, and as fate would that she has encountered a few speed- have it, the birth of her second son put bumps on the road leading to her taking her squarely back on the storytelling the storytelling stage at Howell Farm. track. “My first son was in kindergarten “I’ve always been when I brought telling stories,” she my second son to says.

All very satisfy“A month later I ing personally, but, alas, she encoun- had to take her out to lunch,” she contered her first speedbump. “The arts tinues, “because I had established that doesn’t pay much, nor does social I could do participatory storytelling work,” Weidener notes. Fortunately with preschoolers. As my kids got older she had experience in accounting, and I advanced to after-school programs, found a spot in accounts payable at a libraries, and camps over the next 10 small company, eventually leading to years.”

She also found a niche for her storytelling talent at her church, developing and presenting mini-sermons for the children in her congregation. “I’d take the theme from the bible verse of the service and put it into a participatory mini-sermon for the kids. A lot of adults preferred that, too! I’d get them up during the service, make animal noises, very participatory. A lot of churches started doing that in the ‘80s, and I worked with a number of youth ministries.”

As Weidener’s experience and reputation grew, she was invited to apply her storytelling talent at other venues.

“Someone asked me to tell a story at a senior citizen club after church,” she explains, “and one of my friends’ mothers said ‘You could make this into a business doing senior groups.’ I practiced with a seniors’ group in Branchburg few times, developed some themes, and wound up telling stories at assisted living facilities and senior centers for about 15 years.”

Weidener takes care to emphasize that, as with her mini-sermons for children, her approach to telling stories to seniors was participatory and connected her audience with the story. “I’d start with a basic theme, be it herbs and

spices, Chinese New Year, love, spring flowers, patriotism,” she says, “then blend in a little bit of poetry to try to engage the audience. I thoroughly enjoyed doing that.”

Then Weidener encountered more of the speed bumps alluded to at the beginning of this tale, big ones. She spent years serving as a caregiver for a family member. Other emotionally trying events and the inevitable issues that followed consumed both her and her husband (Peter Szego, an architect); for a time storytelling simply had to take a back seat.

Eventually Weidener connected with the New Jersey Storytelling Network.

Begun in 2002 and structured as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, its official stated purpose is “to encourage and promote storytelling in New Jersey and elsewhere.” The organization and its dues-paying members ($25 annually) strive to preserve the storytelling tradition, educate others about the art of storytelling, and make the services of individual storytellers and storytelling events accessible to the general public.

In addition to information about the organization and upcoming events, the network’s website includes a directory of New Jersey member/storytellers searchable by name or county. Listings contain a photo, biography, and news of upcoming events. The NJ Storytelling Festival at Howell Living History Farm is one of two major events the

It’s harder to keep people tuned in to the story. That’s when I discovered the importance of participation, because if you’re engaging more than one sense it’s easier to keep people involved.”

Weidener notes that the digital age has taken a toll on traditional storytelling as well. “When people are screenengaged it’s harder to get them to look up and be attentive. I hear this in theaters where people are always saying ‘turn off that screen’ because even If you think you’re being quiet everybody sees that little glow. You can’t go to McCarter without someone’s phone going off.

They ask us to turn our phones off, we all know we shouldn’t do it, but everybody thinks that life can’t go on without them being connected to their phone.

“I understand that competition from media and other entertainment outlets compete for people’s time and attention, but I believe that storytelling engages us more intellectually, creatively, and collectively,” she continues. “Part of the joy of storytelling is that it’s not simply holding a book and reading it; storytelling is oral recitation and engagement with a community of listeners.”

FOOD AND DRINK

From farm to plaza, the tomato gets its day in the sun

By Patricia A. Taylor

O

n a cold, gray, rainy day last March Nagisa Manabe had an idea: why not create a celebration of the tomato? After all, the colorful tomato is the iconic New Jersey vegetable, and there really is nothing like it when picked fresh off the vine. And while many people might have had such a wishful idea, Manabe is one of the few, if not the only one, who could actually pull off such a celebration in Princeton. And that’s why there will be a Festomato! in Hinds Plaza on Saturday, September 7, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This is a tomato celebration that literally goes beyond bounds. There will be a tomato tasting featuring 50 organically grown varieties outside on the plaza and lectures inside the Princeton Public Library; there will be cooking demonstrations and a canning workshop; there will be activities for children; there will be dining samples featuring new tomato based recipes such as tomato jam and tomato sorbet; there will be a tomato-based alternative to tuna called Ahimi (you have to taste it to believe it); and much, much more.

So, how was Manabe able to pull this off in less than six months? First she had to convince the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey (NOFA-NJ), where she serves on the board of directors, that it was a good idea. That wasn’t difficult: In the late 1980s NOFA-NJ had sponsored a tomato-featured cooperative that closed after a few years because demand outstripped supply. More recently, it has

Nagisa Manabe combined her marketing, cooking, and farming skills to organize the inaugural Festomato! at Princeton Public Library. been a close partner with the Princeton Public Library’s Environmental Film Festival.

Second, she had to ensure that a site was available, and NOFA-NJ’s involvement with the library made Hinds Plaza an obvious choice. Kim Dorman, the library’s community engagement coordinator, quickly agreed. “Food literacy

is part of the library’s mission,” Dorman explains, “and we have a shared sense of stewardship with NOFA-NJ and its emphasis on the importance of sustainability.” Festomato! is the library’s first signature event featuring food.

Third, sponsors were needed. NOFA-NJ board president Stephanie Harris, owner of the organic Stonehedge farm in Hopewell, touched base with Princeton residents Gordon Douglas and Sheila Mahoney, two of the founders and major funders of the Princeton University’s Princeton Studies Food program. The two felt the event was an excellent example of furthering that program’s mission to connect with the community. Food, they feel, is the best way to bring people together as it is the nexus of major water consumption and environmental problems facing humanity.

NOFA-NJ Executive Director Adrian Hyde, a Princeton resident and owner of Hopewell’s organic Dunwald Farm, joined Manabe in asking the Whole Earth Center and McCaffrey’s to also sign on as sponsors. Both grocery stores, long time supporters of local agriculture, readily agreed and will be present at the event.

Japan, he returned to Princeton and currently serves as a senior meteorologist for the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.

While attending Princeton public schools, Manabe not only enjoyed but appreciated her mother’s culinary preparation and presentation skills.

Nobuko Manabe is a member of the Omotesenke School of Tea and has taught Japanese cooking classes at the Princeton Adult School, among her many activities. Manabe credits her mother for introducing her to the pleasure of fine dining.

W

ell aware of the skills involved, Manabe decided to enroll in a Paris cooking school. With a degree from Yale and several years under her belt as an analyst at Morgan Stanley, she took a four-year intermission and earned a Diplome d’Etude Culinaires from La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine. She returned to the U.S. to earn an MBA at Harvard’s Graduate School of Business and then spend almost 20 years in marketing positions for various companies.

Her tastiest job, in this writer’s opinion, was as head of marketing and product development for Godiva North America. She also made time during the past 11 years to become the majority owner of the Simply Yoga studio in Kingston.

She still serves as a senior instructor at See FESTOMATO, Page 20

The return of the Rutgers Tomato

F

or all intents and purposes, the Rutgers tomato — once the most popular tomato variety in the world — did not exist 20 years ago. This was a plant originally developed

by Campbell Soup scientists in 1928 and then refined and introduced in 1934 by Rutgers professor Lyman Schermerhorm. It featured lots of juicy flavor and a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness.

Though the Plant Patent Act had been introduced in 1930, there never were any steps taken to patent the Rutgers tomato. That meant the plant could be and was modified beyond recognition but still had the familiar Rutgers name.

The modifications did not eliminate two significant drawbacks: the newer Rutgers tomatoes remained unsuitable for mechanical harvesting or long-haul distribution, qualities needed to provide canning and processing factories and grocery store produce throughout the year. Other tomato varieties did provide such traits while slowly extinguishing flavor.

Rutgers is believed to be the only land grant university that seeks to develop plants suitable for both the home gardener and the small scale farmer rather than primarily furthering the interests of large scale, commercial farming. Its work is generally conducted through its New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in New Brunswick. With this in mind, two Rutgers researchers — plant biology professor and extension specialist Tom Orton and Cooperative Extension agent Pete Nitzsche — were immediately responsive to a 2010 call from Campbell Soup. Long thought to have disappeared, it turned out that Campbell Soup had preserved the parent seeds of the original Rutgers tomato in a temperature-controlled vault. Would Rutgers be interested in bringing back that old tomato flavor and adaptability to small scale gardening? Of course it would.

“It took five years,” Orton says. “Working with the parent seeds, we cross-pollinated and grew plants at the Rut-

gers Snyder Research Farm in Pittstown. Each year we winnowed the selection by choosing those with the documented attributes of the original Rutgers tomato.” Taste tests were conducted yearly and in summer, 2015, three finalists were offered in several New Jersey locations. The winner was named Rutgers 250 and introduced in 2016, Rutgers’ 250th anniversary.

“We believe it has all the juiciness, flavor, and taste of the original,” Orton says. “It certainly has a rich red color and a skin that is not heavy but which does not bruise easily.

In addition, it need not be eaten at once but can sit on a counter for several days when you find you have bought or harvested too many.” Both seeds and plants sell out quickly.

Sources can be found at www.breeding.rutgers.edu/tomatoavailability. Better yet, Professor Orton will be distributing free organic Rutgers 250 seeds at the close of his Festomato! lecture, currently scheduled for noon in the library’s Community Room.

the studio and is a familiar name to residents throughout the area.

She really, really likes fresh food.

“There’s nothing better than eating produce from your backyard or patio,” she says. What is it with this super organized, exceptionally friendly, thoughtful, and personable woman? Not content with her marketing jobs and her yoga instruction, she convinced her husband, Oscar Schofield, a distinguished professor and chair of Rutgers’ Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, that they should go beyond a backyard or patio growing area and establish an organic fruit, vegetable, and egg farm.

In 2014 the two bought a 3.9-acre former goat farm in Kingston and named it River Stoan farm. There are lots of stones on the property as it was a river bed in ancient times, and while the word “stoan” is a Middle English alternative spelling for “stone,” in Manabe’s case it consists of her family’s initials: Samantha (daughter), Tobias (son), Oscar (husband), Allegra (daughter), and Nagisa.

Neither Schofield nor Manabe had ever farmed before. “I was often the brunt of family jokes,” she reports, “because I killed any plant that was left in my care.” But they were fortunate in having many friends and in Manabe’s case yoga students who were avid vegetable growers. Manabe also enrolled

Fruit or vegetable?

B

otanically speaking, the tomato is a fruit since it is formed from the mature ovary of a flowering seed plant. It is called a vegetable because the U.S. Supreme Court said so.

That pronouncement was made in 1893, when fruits were exempt from import duties and vegetables subjected to a 10 percent tax. Seeking to protect their market from outside growers, American tomato farmers argued that the tomato was a vegetable and should be hit with an import tax.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed. In writing the decision in Nix v. Hedden, Associate Justice Horace Gray noted: “Botanically speaking tomatoes are the fruit of the vine … But in common language … tomatoes are vegetables which are usually served

in the numerous and varied classes provided by NOFA-NJ throughout the year. She joined the organization last year and became a board member this past January. “They chose me for my marketing skills,” she readily admits, “and not for my farming expertise.”

She hopes that her experience as a teenage destroyer of plants and now as a successful organic farmer will show others, as NOFA-NJ believes, that or-

at dinner with the principal part of the repast and not like fruits generally, as a dessert.”

With the tomato legally classified as a vegetable, imported tomatoes became too expensive, and local growers went on to reap profits without foreign competition. The Supreme Court ruling still stands, though the vegetable tariffs no longer exist, especially since the passage of the North America Free Trade Agreement.

Tomatoes are not part of the current trade war between the U.S. and China. When the tomato was introduced to China in the 1500s its Chinese name translated as “barbarian eggplant.” Today China is home to 32 percent of world tomato production, ranking it first among all countries.

Nary a one of those tomatoes is exported to the U.S., taking these legally designated vegetables off the trade conflict plate. ganic gardening is both a feasible and flavorsome path not only for small operations but also for home owners to enrich diets and health.

Indeed, the underlying theme of Festomato! is to further a deeper appreciation for our area’s regional farms as well as to increase food literacy.

While Manabe’s March idea has led to Festomato!’s exuberant celebration, she emphasizes many times that other members of the planning group have

mall and large signs of change are coming to the Fenwick group of restaurants that was sold earlier this year to north Jersey-based Harvest Restaurant group. A big change came at the end of July, when Cargot Brasserie closed down to prepare to re-open as a steakhouse called Roots this fall.

The neighboring Dinky Bar, meanwhile, remains open and now offers breakfast seven days a week from 8 to 11 a.m. Menu items include stone ground oatmeal ($6), avocado toast ($12, $14 with a poached egg), and the Dinky Benny — poached egg with Canadian bacon, baby kale, and hollandaise — for $15.

been crucial in making it possible.

For example, Princeton resident Kim Rizk, owner of Nassau Street’s Jammin’ Crepes, which relies heavily on produce from local farms, drew on her contacts to convince regional farmers – Abe’s Acres Farm, Cherry Grove Farm, Cherry Valley Farm, Chickadee Creek Farm, and Muth Family Farm – to participate in the event by offering samples of and selling over four dozen different tomatoes, the vast majority not available elsewhere.

Festomato! will also have seed saving classes, tomato preserving demonstrations, and a garden doctor booth open from noon until 3 p.m. At various times there will be blues music, American roots music, and a string band. And a dozen Princeton-area restaurants will be tempting passersby with tasty tomato treats from their kitchens. A full schedule and the times for various activities is on the event’s website, www. nofanj.org/event/festomato. It promises to be a fun, educational, appetizing day, rain or shine. There will be a tent outside and many classes held in the Library’s Community Room. While March rains are supposed to lead to April showers, in this case they have been the catalyst for a terrific, delicious occasion open to the entire region.

PARTING SHOT

Cultures and kids

By Pia de Jong

C

ulture is primarily about adapting to something that most others think is normal, even though you may have doubts about it.

Nowhere is this more sharply felt than in child-rearing. Every nation is different, every parent is different, and no one agrees. As a Dutch mother now living in America, I was recently quoted in the New York Times about the Dutch tradition of deliberately leaving children behind in a forest and letting them find their own way home. The writer wanted to know what this said about Dutch culture. I told her that the custom was ingrained, and added, “Of course you ensure that they do not die, but otherwise you let them find out for themselves. ” When my comment was appointed Quote of the Day (July 21, 2019), the reactions erupted on both sides of the ocean and both equally predictable.

American readers responded with a mix of horror and admiration about the careless ease with which we seem to throw our children into uncharted waters. The article generated 700 online comments within days before they were cut off.

The Dutch thought the attention for

the tradition was exaggerated and went wild on Twitter with playful hyperboles. The Netherlands is not often frontpage news in the United States — never mind above the fold — and so even that fact made news in the Netherlands.

(The reverse is unfortunately never the case.)

B

ut apart from slinging jokes back and forth about what weird people were the Dutch or the Americans — the article clearly touched a raw nerve.

For the Times it was the second-mostread article of the day. Because the dilemmas of parenting are timeless and universal, in particular the struggle between letting go and protecting.

Just as with learning to ride a bicycle, a child has to find the balance himself, because you simply can’t ride with training wheels all your life. But the delicate moment of letting go — every parent struggles with that.

People think about it differently in different cultures. The Netherlands has a centuries-long tradition of giving children a lot of freedom and responsibility at a young age. It thereby helps to be blessed with a society that is one of the safest in the world.

The United States has taken a differ-

ent turn. In recent decades, parenting has been primarily in the context of protecting children against an angry and threatening outside world. But not all of these dangers are imaginary. It really is a land of bears and guns. But that does not mean that many American helicopter parents do not have a deep-rooted desire to return to a romantic Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher youth of yore, when children could still endlessly roam the rivers and fields. Whether it is about giving birth at home, cycling without a helmet, or leaving your children in the woods on good luck. Parenting is mainly go with

the flow, both here and there. That’s why you always find crazier customs the farther you get from home.

Parenting is a struggle for everyone and everywhere. As a parent you are also dropped in the middle of a dark forest and you have to find your own way.
