On the occasion of Isles 30th Anniversary, we celebrated a groundbreaking, but little known racial justice link between Trenton and Princeton. It all started with segregated schools in Trenton in 1943, and some members of the Hedgepeth and Williams families, who decided to stand up for their 12 year old childrens’ right to attend their neighborhood school. Ten years later, the Honorable Thurgood Marshall used it as a critical precedent for arguing Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned the “Separate but Equal” doctrine across the land. A major funder of that litigation was Princeton’s Bill Scheide. At our 30th Gala, Isles was delighted to honor two of Berline William’s children, Thelma Williams Napoleon Smith and Ernest A. Williams, and Bill and Judith Scheide.

Dear Friends,

Several weeks ago, we celebrated our 30th Anniversary with a gala and a brief look back on Isles’ accomplishments – and how many people made it happen. It was a great party, and an important chance to celebrate inspiring ideas, work and people over the years. Special thanks to our volunteer gala committee for pulling off a powerful and fun evening.

With the weight of so many challenges

– especially high demand from

communities in the face of shrinking

and uncertain funding – it helped to re-

enforce the personal and professional

passions that drove us to start Isles

in the first place. Our growth over

three decades, even through very lean

years, shows that our work passes the

toughest test – time. We thank so many

of you for making it possible!

Over the past year, our work changed.

Across the board, we tightened our

belts to respond to the lean times,

including – for the first time – staff and

budget cuts (8%) in mid-year. Shrinking

real estate values and financing brought

particular challenges. In some areas,

though, we grew. We expanded E4,

our Energy Services Company. We also

grew our urban agriculture work, green

job training center, financial fitness club

and community planning. Enclosed is

a summary 2010 Annual Report that

details some of this evolution.

Moving forward, we are cautiously

optimistic that the economy will

not worsen, and that our ambitious

plans over the next few years will be

prudently manageable, successful and

full of learning. As I stated at our gala,

the best news is that, while Isles was

very unique back in 1981, a growing

number of groups and policymakers are

taking Isles’ lessons and applying them

to their work.

So while it’s important to do good

work, the real magic is in the learning.

You make that possible. For your many

contributions of time, talent, friendship

and funding, we are genuinely grateful.

M E S S A G E from Marty

In the News…For 16 years, Isles has operated the Youth-build Institute, an alternative job training high school for juniors and seniors in Tren-ton. Students learn green construction while they renovate homes in the city.

In April, Isles applied to the State of New Jersey to transform its Institute into a charter school for students in Trenton and Hamilton in grades 6–12 (100 students per grade over 4 years). We should hear from the state by September.

As a result, the Times of Trenton wrote an April editorial about it:

A longstanding criticism of charter schools is that they siphon off the best students from the public system. One of the appli-cants for a Trenton-area charter says he is pointedly doing just the opposite.

Martin Johnson, the founder and presi-dent of Isles Inc., wants to open a charter for grades six through nine that’s based on Isles’ YouthBuild Institute, an alternative school with an enrollment of 11th- and 12th-graders.

He says the charter school would enroll students who are struggling in a traditional school setting. The curriculum would have a vocational element, and, in line with Isles’ focus on sustainable communities, empha-size training for “green collar” jobs.

For more than 15 years, the YouthBuild In-stitute has been helping Trenton’s at-risk youth find their way from education to a career to self-reliance. The charter school would build on that success, but start with younger children. Eventually, the school

of racial conservatism. More importantly, for the first time since 1884, black pupils and teachers were placed in schools and classes on a nonracial basis.

In the early 50’s a young lawyer from the National Association for the Advance-ment of Colored People’s Legal Defense Fund (LDF) paid Bill Scheide, another of our honorees, a visit. That young lawyer, future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, wanted to know if Mr. Scheide would support a case called Brown vs. Board of Education. Bill Scheide became a primary funder of the case that de-segregated U.S. public schools. Bill then spent the next 40 years on the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Board. Hedgepeth-Williams v. Board of Education, Trenton, NJ (1944) was cited as precedence in the landmark United States Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, KS (1954) which banned school segregation nationwide. Thurgood Mar-shall and his team of NAACP attorneys applied the Hedgepeth and Williams decision (the only state anti-segregation

legal precedent in the nation) to their successful litigation strategy, which over-turned the doctrine of “Separate but Equal” across the land.

Note: It was with great sadness that we learned of Ernest Williams’ passing on August 17, 2011. Mr. Williams was an advocate for equality who took great pride in the Trenton community. His life exemplified a profound commitment to community and justice, and brought a whole new meaning to the bridge motto, Trenton Makes, The World Takes. We send our condolences to the family.

Yale & Williams Alumni Day of Service

During their annual "Day of Service", Yale and Williams alumni worked with Isles YouthBuild students and staff to beautify the Isles Children's Garden. The Children's Garden is used as an outdoor classroom for environmental education programs.

Isles Thanks Goldman SachsA few months ago, Goldman Sachs Gives, a donor-advised fund available to part-ners of the firm, made a timely donation to Isles. With a focus on economic devel-opment and job training, GS supported the expansion of Green Job Training at Isles' CEET and the growth of Isles' E4, our energy services and environmental subsidiary. On a global level in 2010, GS contributed $320 million, “Reinforc(ing) the firm’s commitment to philanthropy through diversified and impactful giving at a time when non-profits need it most.” (Goldman Sach’s website)

This is indeed a time when we need it most, and we are thankful!

would absorb the YouthBuild program and expand classes up to the 12th grade.

Just as Isles for 30 years has sought to bring out the best in Trenton and its residents, Mr. Johnson’s school would reach out to those in danger of being overlooked. By offering students the tools, both figuratively and literally, for a positive, productive future, his charter school promises to show the transformative power of education.

We could use a lot more charter schools like that.

At Isles 30th Anniversary Gala, the six honorees each received one-of-a-kind original sculptures. Clifford “Cliff” Ward, a resident artist at the Grounds for Sculpture in Ham-ilton worked with Isles YouthBuild Institute (IYI) art students to create the “vessels.” Isles Board member Jacque Howard worked with pho-tographer David Byers and IYI staff to coordinate and document the project.

The project involved the students working in Clifford’s studio for six 2-hour sessions with supervision from IYI Art Instructor

Joanne Scofield. Joanne noted that “this experience could be life changing.” Students commented on how positive it was, adding that art helped them to relax, express themselves, and to see life from a different perspective. Clifford encouraged Isles to continue this high-level IYI art training, noting, “The students may have thought they were the ones receiving instruction, when actually they were teaching me!”

On the night of the Gala, four of the students helped present the gifts to honorees and described their design ideas. A special vessel titled “Growth” was created and presented to Liz and Marty Johnson.

On Saturday, April 30, Isles celebrated 30 years of green community devel-opment and the many partners that support our work. Event co-chairs, Paula Taylor and Barbara Trelstad, worked with a committee of over 20 dedicated volunteers to plan a cel-ebration to remember at the Trenton Marriott downtown—over 300 of Isles' friends and supporters attended. During the evening, Isles honored 6 in-dividuals and organizations that have helped Isles to advance its mission over the past 30 years: Calvin Thomas; Robert Harris and Environ International; Thelma Napoleon Smith, Ernest Wil-liams, and the Hedgepeth and Williams Families; Bill and Judith Scheide; and David Crane and NRG Energy.

We would like to thank everyone that helped to make our 30th Anniversary Gala a huge success!

Here's to another 30 years…!

In addition, CEET trains existing workers that seek training in green jobs. For ex-ample, New Jersey Natural Gas, Prince-ton Air, PSEG and others have hired CEET to assist in training their workforce. Bob Kudrick, Manager of Energy Efficiency Programs for NJ Natural Gas, had this to say about CEET training:

“As a part of our commitment to ensur-ing our employees have the necessary training and skills to help our customers save with energy efficiency, we sent 10 of our in-house auditors to Isles’ CEET for its BPI Heating Professional course and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. The five-day course pro-vided our auditors with information and experience that will be invaluable to our efforts to help customers make the right energy decisions for their homes and businesses. The training, education and preparation were excellent.”

Five energy companies that received State of NJ Energy Sector Partnership grants selected CEET to provide energy efficiency training for their employees. A total of 27 employees will complete training and seek certification as Build-ing Analysts, 28 as Heating Professionals,

and 6 as Multifamily Building Analysts. This effort has already resulted in the award of 28 BPI certifications.

Additional grant awards are available through the State Employment and Training Commission. For info, contact Dr. Jeanne Oswald, Director of Isles’ CEET at [email protected] or 609-341-4728.

From Green Training to Certification to… Jobs!Graduates of the Center for Energy and Environmental Training (CEET’s) second Green Job Training Partnership class are showing the way to work. Close to half of the 25 out-of-work or underemployed trainees are already employed. Several others have earned certifications from the national Building Performance Institute (BPI) in the areas of Building Analyst, Envelope Professional, and Air Leakage Control. The graduates all earned OSHA 10 certification and US EPA Lead Safe Renovation certification. CEET provides a range of training and placement services to the grads, who are all expected to have jobs before the fall.

E D U C A T E and train Green Job Training Works!“The CEET training has been a great benefit for me. As a result of the train-ing I now have a job, and I’m working to make homes more energy efficient.” Michael Carmichael, Trenton

“My experience with CEET training for home energy was that it is the best train-ing one could get. I knew nothing about weatherization, but by the time I complet-ed, I knew more about air sealing and in-sulation than I could have ever imagined. Because of this, I now understand where my utility bill money was going – straight out the roof! Thanks to CEET I now save energy by doing the basic things I’ve learned.” Robert Muns, Camden

“There are not enough words to describe the knowledge I have learned from CEET. Like they say, ‘Knowledge is power’ - but I say CEET is knowledge beyond power. They have taught me how to access and apply knowledge, and for that I am grateful.” Derron Mitchell, Camden

“The training I received at Isles’ CEET gave me in-depth knowledge that allowed me to prepare for a new career in the grow-ing energy field. The instructors used hands-on training and field houses that made learning exciting and meaningful.” Gary Pavarnik, NeptuneCasa CEET

Isles’ CEET uses hands-on laboratories to deepen the learning experience for green job trainees. Recently, CEET created Casa CEET, a test house located in the basement of Isles’ Tucker Street training center. CEET’s existing Duct Labora-tory was expanded to simulate a whole house, including multiple rooms, me-chanical ventilation, and a combustion appliance zone. Students in entry-level and advanced courses can use the test house to practice blower door testing, duct blasting, and other techniques.

CEET NewsFlash: CEET has recently initiated training in the field of Multifamily Building Analysis in response to a growing need for certi-fied home performance contractors with knowledge of multifamily buildings.

CEET now offers the EPA Dust Sampling course for those seeking national certi-fication to conduct non-abatement lead dust testing in homes and other build-ings. For info on the one-day class, visit Isles website or call 609-341-4730.

After an extensive, communi-ty-driven process, the Trenton Historic Development Collaborative (THDC) issued a comprehensive neighbor-hood plan in April. While Isles

served as facilitator and project man-ager, the THDC plan process brought together the City of Trenton, Shiloh Baptist Church, the New Jersey State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, the Capital City Partnership (CCP), Capital Health System, the Bellevue Area Civic Association, the Rutherford Heights Civic Association, the West Hanover Area Civic Association, and others.

Convened by Shiloh Baptist Church and the Shiloh Community Development Corporation (SCDC), the THDC started in 2006. With an open door policy, the THDC invited many stakeholders to help achieve three primary goals:

1) provide a forum for community discussion 2) coordinate services and projects in the community, and 3) strengthen and support the area’s civic associations.

Hundreds of people participated in meetings, surveys and focus groups, designed to help residents envision and sustain a healthier community over the next five years.

Moving beyond physical improvement goals, the plan was motivated by a com-mon vision:

As proud members of our community, we envision our neighborhood to be safe, clean, enjoyable and focused on empowering individuals and families to be healthy, educated and positive citizens.

Into the future, the THDC plan will be noted for it’s:

Breadth. It integrated 10 existing plan-ning studies related to the affected neighborhoods;

Lifespan. The process took more than a year of dedicated work;

Depth. The plan focused on social and human needs, not just physical develop-ment;

Participation. Over 150 stakeholders attended community meetings;

Research and data. A team of 30 vol-unteers conducted surveys and data gathering, reaching 324 respondents;

Regional investment. The Wells Fargo Regional Foundation provided generous funding.

The Plan is now being vetted by the community. For more information on the THDC Plan or the planning process, contact Julia Taylor at 609-341-4713 or [email protected].

Ag in the City: Urban Lands Conference

Interest in urban agriculture is greater than ever. Over 100 people attended the Ag in the City: Urban Lands Conference, organized by Isles in March. With support from the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and funding from the Geraldine R. Dodge, Rita Allen, and Horner Foundations, the event brought together groups across the state working on greening urban areas. A year in the making, the event at the Rutgers Environmental Re-search and Extension Center included a tour of Rutgers EcoComplex and Greenhouse.

In many cities, vacant land and aban-doned buildings remind us of an industri-al past and the promise of a re-imagined green future that will benefit everyone.

In many communities, activists, non-profits, and public leaders are joining forces to convert vacant urban land into small, productive urban farms.

Urban agriculture plays a growing role in the redevelopment of urban lands and the new urbanism move-ment. Urban ag can improve the environ-ment, human health, neighborhoods, home budgets and the economy. Adaptive reuse of buildings, re-habilitation of brown-fields, and renewable energy technologies expand food produc-tion options, offering new strategies to help city leaders envision,

plan for, and build sustainable urban communities.

The conference educated private and public planners about urban agriculture, and the opportunities and challenges in their own communities. The conference convened leaders from government, urban planning, public health, anti-hunger, parks and recreation, business, community development, environment and other sectors to explore how this new vision for urban development may be applied statewide.

The practice-based conference discussed best practices, including urban agricul-ture as a land banking and urban revi-talization strategy, and how to shape regulations and policy to encourage agriculture entrepreneurs.

L I V E green and healthyBetty Fleming 1942–2011With sadness, we report that long time Isles volunteer and board member Betty Fleming passed away in March. She was an avid gardener and led the Garden of Three Points on Chestnut Avenue from its inception until this year—nearly 30 years. For almost as many years, she welcomed the staff and draft horses and oxen from Howell Living History Farm to plow the garden. She was a steady, strong leader among a uniquely diverse set of gardeners and friends. She delighted many garden tour visitors with her stories and pea-nut crop.

Betty was educated in the Florence, SC, school system. She retired after 31 years of service with Amtrak in 2002. She received numerous awards throughout her employment at Am-trak, including supervisor of the year three times. Betty was a member of Shiloh Baptist Church, and served on the health ministry.

Remarking on her passing, Isles CEO Marty Johnson said: “We stand on the shoulders of great people that have gone before. Her shoulders were some of the strongest, and she was a won-derful friend to us. We will miss her very much.“

Meredith Taylor, conference organizer, welcomes participants.

Page 9: Summer 2011 - Isles, Inc

On Wednesday, April 6, Isles welcomed draft horses Chester and Jake to the Garden of Three Points on Chestnut Avenue for some good old-fashioned plowing. Visiting from Howell Living Farm in Hopewell, the horses were joined by students from Cadwalader Elementary School in Trenton. “Kicking off the gardening season with Howell Living History Farm is a wonderful tradi-tion for us, for the gardeners, and for children from local schools,” said Mer-edith Taylor, Director of Isles’ Food and Environment department.

Pete Watson from Howell Living Farms remembered when Isles began inviting local school children to learn about soil preparation, growing plants…and to meet the horses. He recalls that some-where along the way, one of the chil-

dren asked if they could try their hand at the plow.

Moved by that experience, Pete be-gan allowing kids to periodically lend a hand to the plowing of the 130 acre Howell Farm operating as part of the Mercer County Park Commission. Pete remarked recently that “For the past 3 years, every school child who visits the farm in the spring and fall has an oppor-tunity to plow behind a team of horses —something we learned how to do by working with Isles’ gardeners. We even introduced a "visitor class" in the farm's annual plowing contest, thus giving the public the same opportunity that school kids have.”

Thank you Howell Farm for plowing in Trenton for over 25 years!

Weapons of Mass Construction

MOO Farm is being helped by volun-teers, who have cleared and built the infrastructure for the farm. Princeton University varsity athletes and alumni from the Class of ’81 have worked hard to bring MOO Farm to life. These volun-teer projects, dubbed Weapons of Mass Construction, bring important labor, skill and learning opportunities.

Brooke Russell, ’11, a member of the Women’s Track and Field Club, said of her experience: “…a project like Weap-ons of Mass Construction is really unique, in that student-athletes are granted the opportunity to gain awareness of what’s possible, in terms of the ways we can interact with the community, and what changes we can make on a large scale.”

The Mill One Organic (MOO) FarmThe Mill One Organic (MOO) Farm, is taking shape next to our warehouse at 57 N. Johnston Avenue. You can see it next time you are on the Northeast Corridor train, about halfway between Trenton and Hamilton stations, on the right heading north! The ½+ acre parcel will include raised planting beds for food production (built by Isles’ Youthbuild students), greenhouse, workshop space, composting, fruit trees, and a patio area. MOO Farm will specialize in fruit, leafy greens and smaller veg-etables (radishes, peppers, tomatoes, carrots). If you are interested in buying organic produce from MOO, let us know.

By learning from behavioral psycholo-gists, Isles has taken a different path. First, we looked at the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, which en-visions change as a process involving progress through a series of five stages —pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Princeton University’s Professor Eldar Shafir, a leader in the field of behavioral science and a past Isles Board member, helped us focus on effective tactics to support real financial behavior change.

Then, we developed a pilot effort to test an assumption: rather than simply applying education and training, what would happen if we took a variety of small steps and put them together into one Financial Fitness Club (IFFC)? The IFFC makes it easy to do the right thing – over time. It uses automation, peer group support, hands-on learning, social networking, training, and financial prod-

ucts like emergency and opportunity loans to pay down high interest debt.

The pilot results are impressive. Credit scores climb, savings grow, debt is re-duced, and most importantly, members stabilize their financial condition.

The IFFC developed one more important approach: it is bringing these services to employers, who typically struggle to help their low-income workers. The ben-efits to employers are powerful: reduced absenteeism and turnover, more stable, productive and financially self-reliant employees, and reduced costs. Isles is in discussions with a handful of large em-ployers in the region to begin bringing the IFFC to scale. If you or an employer are interested, contact Peter Rose at [email protected].

Many people think that if people living in poverty were just more financially literate, much would change. If they knew how to budget, how to save, how to negotiate better loans, life would be better. Banks, foundations, governments, employers and others have spent years and countless millions investing in this theory. Today, the research is uncomfortably clear: mostly, it doesn’t work. It’s kind of like trying to lose weight: we know what to do – eat differently and move around more! Unfortunately, that knowledge doesn’t change our behavior.
