Purple Cow
named best
new business
Tom and Cindy Pearce have
not only learned a lot about run-
ning a business in the past 14
months, they have learned that
the community around them is
even better than they thought.
The couple recently was
awarded the Lawrence Main
Street Best New Business
Award for Purple Cow Ice
Cream, which sits at the corner
of Gordon Avenue and Route
206.
We just love this town, said
Cindy, sitting in the dining area
of the ice cream parlor. And we
have met some of the nicest peo-
ple that we never would have
had a chance to meet if we did-
nt own this business.
The business opened 14
months ago after about a year of
preparation.
It is open six days a week,
with Monday the only day it is
closed.
The couple, Tom said, had ac-
tually been talking about open-
ing an ice cream parlor about
seven or eight years ago.
Wed lived here 30 years and
there was no ice cream parlor,
he recalled. Just about the
time we were ready to go into
business though, an ice cream
parlor did open.
Realizing that with a young
daughter at home, and with
Tom working for Merrill Lynch,
and Cindy for ETS, the timing
was not right. The couple decid-
ed to put off starting the busi-
ness.
When Toms division was
eliminated at Merrill Lynch and
Cindys division at ETS moved
to St. Paul Minn., the couple de-
cided the time was right to start
the business.
The previous ice cream com-
pany in town was out of busi-
ness by then, but the couple de-
cided that the building was too
small.
It was a real learning experi-
ence, but it was fun, Cindy
said. We had a lot of good people
helping us.
Tom recalled that when they
went to Piscataway to pick out
commercial equipment for the
store, one of the employees gave
them the contact information

United Way collects food for the needy
United Way of Greater Mercer
County has joined forces with
area businesses and organiza-
tions to collect 475 baskets for its
annual Thanksgiving food drive.
Each year, UWGMC holds a
drive to collect food so every fami-
ly in the community has a
Thanksgiving meal on their table.
The baskets are filled with
everything a family needs for
Thanksgiving dinner, including a
gift card to a grocery store.
UWGMC can proudly state that
it reached a total of 475 baskets
with the help of more than 20
community business partners.
There was an abundance of
generous donations that led to
this outstanding accomplish-
ment.
Denise Daniels, director of Vol-
unteer Operations, said: United
Way is so grateful to all of the
companies who supported the
drive. This year, the generosity
was overwhelming, with almost
12,000 pounds of food and over
$45,000 worth of food and gift
cards donated to almost 20 local
charities. During this difficult
time in our economy we are
thankful for everyones continued
commitment that no one in our
community should go hungry
this Thanksgiving.

Best New Business
awarded to Purple Cow
for the ice cream company in
New York.
We were on our way home
and that company called us,
Cindy recalled.
Tom said he remembers the
company interviewing them be-
fore agreeing to sell its ice
cream in their shop.
The company, he said makes
its ice cream on Wednesdays
after getting orders on Tuesdays
and delivers it on Thursdays.
It really is the highest quali-
ty ice cream because it doesnt
have as much air in it, he said.
The Purple Cow name, Cindy
said, was inspired by their
daughter Katies kindergarten
class project about The Purple
Cow, a poem by Frank Gellet
Burgess. A picture of a purple
cow drawn by Katie hangs in
the front of the business.
Its a great name because the
younger kids can relate to it and
remember it, Cindy said. Its
really working out well.
What also works out well, the
couple said, is the location of
the shop, with a porch facing
the church across Route 206,
and the Lawrenceville Prep
School nearby.
People have said it reminds
them of looking out onto the
street of a New England town,
Cindy said.
A student graphic artist at
Syracuse University designed
the logo for the shop, and the
signature ice cream is black
raspberry with chocolate chips
to resemble the Purple Cow.
Some of the other 24 flavors
include the seasonal pumpkin
pie, mango sorbet, Milky Way
and monster cookie, which adds
chocolate chip cookies to the
usual cookies-and-cream flavor.
The couple has added Hale
and Hearty soups for the winter
season, and recalled one com-
muter who had picked up soup
in the city for his wife, but left it
on the train.
He saw that we had Hale and
Hearty and as it turned out, we
had the same kind of soup hed
left on the train, Cindy said.
The couple lists the soup of
the day on Purple Cows Face-
book page.
Purple Cow Ice Cream is next
to the Lawrence Main Street
Artist Network Gallery, and the
couple has found that progres-
sive birthday parties work well
between the two businesses.
They dont allow food in the
gallery, and we dont really have
a separate room for parties,
Cindy explained. So the kids
can do their arts and crafts over
there, then come here for ice
cream.
The couple can order cakes
from the nearby bakery, which
also provides them with the
fresh bread to go with their
soups.
It really is like a big neigh-
borhood here, Cindy said. Its
wonderful.
The Pearces have given back
to that community as well, host-
ing fund raisers for Operation
Smile at Lawrence High School
and recently for Christines
Hope for Kids Foundation,
which helps underprivileged
children.
The shops winter hours are Tues-
Thurs from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays
and Saturdays 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.;
Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Henderson Sotheby's Interna-
tional Realty, Empty Space Pro-
ductions and JMG Concepts are
presenting a completely different
concept of the real estate open
house.
It's a winter holiday event
with an unusual twist, said
Janet Stefandl, the listing agent
for 661 Rosedale Road, a fabu-
lously updated Cape Cod-style
home in Lawrence Township
with a Princeton mailing ad-
dress.
The propertys seller is
Veronika Husle-Kalabacos, of
Empty Space Productions, an en-
terprising event designer and
producer with vast international
and local experience in creating
distinctive and exciting events.
We are presenting the unex-
pected in entertaining in a per-
fectly aligned home by introduc-
ing the red apple road our
theme for this unique holiday
event.
Veronika has teamed up with
Jessica Maria Goldenstern of
JMG Concepts, who is a certified
home stager, re-designer and
trained Feng-Shui consultant.
Jessica has more than 20 years
experience in interior decorating
and visual merchandising.
Her mission is to perfect the
ambiance of a home, bringing
out its soul and identity.
Husle-Kalabacos and Golden-
stern will be offering this unique
home-staging event as a con-
cept for the future.
In this tough housing market,
you have to differentiate your
home to stand out from the
crowd and show it in the best
possible light.
We believe that a home
event will significantly increase
your chances of a successful sale
by combining perfect alignment
of the home ambience with a fab-
ulous event.
British abstract artist Derek
Bernstein is also a part of this
talented group. Bernstein, whose
dynamic paintings of Bucks
County, Pa. and Fire Island, N.Y.
recently had an exhibit Cos-
morama: Landscape Paintings
at Prallsville Mills in Stockton.
This home event will serve as
a backdrop for displaying Bern-
steins art.
The open house with live en-
tertainment and a DJ takes place
Saturday, Dec. 3, from 3:30-6:30
p.m. at 661 Rosedale Road,
Princeton.

Using county workers, Mercer
County has installed bikeable
shoulders on County Route 632
for less than 5 percent of the cost
of contracting out for the work.
Final striping has just been com-
pleted.
We had a lot going in our
favor, said County Executive
Brian Hughes. The estimate we
got from a New Jersey Depart-
ment of Transportation contrac-
tor was the standard cost for
widening a roadway and came in
at $1,795,397 for just over half a
mile of road. We were able to do
the widening as part of a normal
resurfacing project and our guys
did it for only $82,300. They also
fixed some flooding and icing is-
sues.
To me, this is a story of how
working in-house, with union
workers, can often be more effi-
cient than contracting out. We al-
ready knew the storm drains
were there and what the project
limits could be, but the estimate
for project engineering alone, to
mostly tell us what we already
knew, was almost three times
higher than our total cost of the
job.
The widening of County Route
632, Pennington-Lawrenceville
Road between Penningtons Main
Street (CR 640) and Blackwell
Road (CR 546) is a critical step to-
ward implementing the countys
first designated bikeway.
The County Route 546 bike-
way will help residents of Pen-
nington and Lawrenceville get to
a number of parks, said Pen-
nington Mayor Anthony Per-
sichilli Not only Washington
Crossing, but Mercer Meadows
the Twin Pines soccer complex,
Lawrences Central Park and the
Lawrence-Hopewell Trail.
The CR 546 bikeway was pro-
posed to the Mercer County Bicy-
cle and Pedestrian Task Force by
Tom Ogren, Pennington borough
councilman.
I am pleased that the county
worked with towns and the New
Jersey Department of Trans-
portation to put this bike route in
place, Ogren said. Of all the
safety improvements, widening
CR 632 was the most important
and the most expensive. They did
beautiful work.
The County Route 546 bikeway
is one of many bicycle and pedes-
trian projects the Hughes admin-
istration has advanced.
Others include striping bicycle
compatible shoulders on Wash-
ington Road (CR 571) between
Route 1 and the D&R Canal;
wheelchair ramps and crossing
push buttons in numerous loca-
tions; improvements at several
high-volume, unsignalized pedes-
trian crossings; working with the
Delaware Valley Regional Plan-
ning Commission and the state
Department of Transportation to
develop a county-wide bicycle
plan; and improving conditions
for cyclists and pedestrians on
Princeton-Hightstown Road (CR
571) in Princeton Junction.
The improvements to Route
571 in Princeton Junction are a
lot more complicated than adding
shoulders to Route 632 outside
Pennington, Hughes said. In
this case, we decided to go with
outside contractors and federal
funding to save money for local
taxpayers. We are almost ready
for final design and construction,
and funding has been committed.
The design is not exactly what bi-
cycle and pedestrian advocates
would like to see, but it came out
of extensive public outreach to
local residents and the township.
Changing it now will risk losing
more than $10 million of federal
funding. When the federal job is
done we can go back and think
about putting in some other
amenities using our great county
workers.
Its slow and its expensive,
but were trying to modernize our
transportation system at the low-
est possible cost to county taxpay-
ers.

in our opinion
O
dds are that at some point in
your life you placed a bet on a
sporting event. It might have
been a big-time wager while visiting
Vegas. It might have been an office
March Madness entry.
The point is, betting on sporting
events is a part of our culture, and try-
ing to prohibit it brings back memo-
ries of Prohibition.
New Jersey residents want the op-
portunity to bet on sports. Or at least
the opportunity to bet on them legally,
as they already are betting on sports.
They said so in this months general
election.
Problem is, New Jersey missed the
boat years ago when the door closed
on legalized sports betting. Now the
state faces a myriad of hoops to jump
through before residents can legally
bet on hoops action.
Or so thats what a lot of people
think. We think differently. We think
the Garden State will get sports bet-
ting sooner rather than later, and
heres why:
First, millions of dollars are on the
table. Dollars that are not being taxed
because the wagering is taking place
out of the U.S. or illegally.
Second, government needs money.
All governments need money.
Third, eventually the politicians are
going to put these two things together
and realize that legalized sports bet-
ting simply makes sense. And when
that finally happens things will move
quickly. A simple decision that the
1991 law banning sports betting in
most states is unconstitutional clears
the way.
Sports betting wont solve all of the
states woes. But it will generate addi-
tional revenue and give Atlantic City
casinos a shot in the arm. Lets flex
some political muscle and get this
done.
Sports wagering a good bet
Hurdles will be overcome in due time
Bet on it
Government needs money. Sports
betting generates money. Need we
say more?

SOPA, Corzine, cop cars and pot
Man charged
with stealing cop car
It started with a speeding ticket.
It ended with a charge of stealing a po-
lice car.
Actually, it ended with a lot of charges,
according to the Hunterdon County Demo-
crat.
David Rosa, 26, of Perth Amboy, received
a six-count indictment Nov. 17 for aggravat-
ed assault, theft by unlawful taking, elud-

SOPA needs to be
stopped Now!
As an extreme, cant-live-without-it user
of the Internet, I get angry any time any-
one tries to police or patrol what I love so
much. The Internet is a magnificent place
where I can obtain or share whatever I
want with whomever I want wherever I
want (for the low monthly price of $59.99
per month). My loyalty to this free enter-
prise makes me almost blind to any stiff
that says the Internet needs to be regulated
in any fashion which is why I utterly,
and absolutely, hate everything about the
Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) thats cur-
rently being debated in the House of Rep-
resentatives.

Legal medical pot may bloom
on Upper Freehold farmland
An isolated patch of farmland in Upper
Freehold could turn into a large and legal
medical marijuana growing operation, ac-
cording to The Times of Trenton.
A zoning application for a $2 million pot
facility on Rues Road has been submitted
by Breakwater Alternative Treatment Cen-
ter, one of six nonprofit organizations
given clearance by the state to sell pre-
scription ganja. The topic, predictably, is
dividing nearby residents in this rural
town.
The zoning application outlines plans
for two greenhouses totaling 14,760 square
feet to grow the herb. A 5,600-square-foot
farm building would be used for trim-
ming, drying, packaging, curing, process-
ing and the storing of medical cannabis
grown in the production facilities, the ap-
plication says.
