From Lithuania toLawrence, womanfollows her dream

BY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun

When Lawrenceville residentand Lithuania native Daiva Klim-iene came to America in 2002, shedidnt speak a word of Englishand didnt have anywhere to live.

After a decade of hard workand determination, shes now liv-ing the American Dream, manag-ing Radiance Spa at The BucksClub in Jamison, Pa.

When Klimiene first immigrat-ed to America, she lived in Tren-ton and worked as a housekeeperfor two families in Princeton.

Since she had a strong passionfor beauty, she also began work-ing at Radiance Spa on the week-ends.

Although she was a certified

aesthetician in Lithuania, it washard for her to find a similar jobin America at first because shedidnt speak English.

The only thing I had to do waslearn the language, Klimienesaid.

So, I went to Mercer CountyCommunity College and tooksome classes on Saturdays andweekday evenings until I startedto understand English better.

Then, I went to The Bucks CountySchool of Beauty Culture to be-come an aesthetician and wascertified.

A little more than two yearsago, Klimiene used the LiteracyVolunteers of Mercer County Inc.to find a tutor to better her Eng-lish, which is when she met Eve-lyn Dye.

Dye, who is also aLawrenceville resident and a re-tired teacher, became a tutor forLVMC when was she saw therewere hundreds of people in needof tutoring throughout MercerCounty. She took the six-weektraining course offered by theLVMC and became a certifiedtutor.

When LVMC asked her whatsubject she wanted to tutor and

which type of person she desired,Dye chose to focus on English as aSecond Language with anyonefrom Eastern Europe, since shesof Polish descent.

Klimiene is her second stu-dent.

I read this book to her calledMiss Rumphius by BarbaraCooney, and its about making the

world more beautiful, and thatsexactly what Daiva does, Dyesaid. Shes such a wonderful,positive person.

Dye explained how Klimieneworks above and beyond to ac-complish everything she wants todo.

Daiva got a facial one daywhen she was feeling down, andafterward, when she felt a lot hap-pier, she said, I want to make peo-

ple feel that way, so she went outand became a certified aestheti-cian in Pennsylvania, Dye said.Then, she got a job at the spa

doing facials on the weekends,and now, she took it over and isturning it into a success.

Klimiene, who has been man-aging the spa for almost threemonths, explained how the own-ers didnt have enough time tofocus on the spa, which is why sheinquired to take over.

When you own a spa, thingsare very specific; you have toknow this business a little bitmore, she said. The owners de-cided that the job just wasnt forthem, so they were going to closeit. But, I told them I couldnt livewithout this job, so they decidedto let me take over.

Klimiene has a temporaryagreement with the current own-ers a six-month trial period tosee if shes capable of taking on

all management responsibilities.If they like the way Im man-

aging it and see that things arepicking up, then I can keep man-aging it, she said.

Klimiene has invested her ownmoney into the business and iscurrently working for free so shedoesnt have to take out any loans.

I am trying to do with what wemake, she said. I am not takingmoney for myself, but rather, amtrying to advertise. I dont want totake out loans; I am going to try todo it on my own.

Since she started managing Ra-diance Spa, shes seen an increasein business and is optimistic she

can keep the business running.Its picking up during the

BY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun

Lawrenceville resident Kim-berly Suskind has been singingand acting her entire life, but iscurrently playing her dream role

as Elle Woods in Playful TheatreProductions musical comedy,Legally Blonde the Musical.

The musical is debuting atMercer County Community Col-leges Kelsey Theatre on April 19,and is running for only two week-

ends through April 28.Suskind is no stranger to

MCCCs Kelsey Theatre, havingperformed in Maurer Produc-tions' "Drowsy Chaperone" lastseason and Aida in November2012.

Ive been performing since Iwas about 5 years old, she said.I went to college [Boston Conser-vatory] for musical theater.

Although Suskind has neverworked with Playful Theatre Pro-ductions a traveling production

company based in Ewing she at-tended its open auditions andlanded the lead as Elle.

I have played these types ofroles, but Elle is definitely themost modern character, shesaid. In Aida, I had the role ofAmneris [princess of Egypt,daughter of the Pharaoh], whichis sort of similar, but its based inancient Egypt. Its kind of thesame type of character, but Elle iscompletely modernized.

Since Elle is the main charac-ter, Suskind explained how muchwork shes had to endure to pre-

pare, especially since the plot isbased solely around Elle and herefforts to succeed in law school.

I never played a role that hasso much material, Suskind said.Shes really in the entire show,which is a lot of pressure, but alot of fun. Learning a lot of mate-rial is the only scary part.

Suskind has also encounterednew challenges while learningher role, testing her abilities as anactress.

The challenges would be danc-

ing in four-inch stiletto, platformshoes; as long as I dont break myankle, well be good, she said.Im a total flats girl, so thatsgoing to be a big challenge. And,the amount of material and danc-ing, as well being able to keep myenergy up throughout the showbecause she [Elle] is a very ener-getic character. Its a challenge totry to make her real, rather than

just a character. Its nice thatshes a three-dimensional charac-

ter, which is fun to play.Another challenge Suskind hasfaced involves the amount ofdancing and singing.

It involves a lot of dancing,she said. Theres just a bunch ofhuge, fun production-type num-bers in the show. I can dance, butnot like a professional dancer, sothat was a challenge for me, espe-cially in those heels.

To conquer the singing aspectof the production, Suskind hasbeen training with her voice

coach, Steven Schnurman ofSchnurman Voice Studio, for thelast year.

I think its is in my blood.I never took any specific class-

Aside from the newfound flexi-bility the job offers,the biggest perk of owning herown business is freedom, Klim-iene said.

Its that time of the year. That time

when public school Boards of Edu-

cation are finalizing budgets and

announcing to their respective con-

stituents how much more they will pay

in school taxes next year.

We say more because its hardly

ever less.

Homeowners in New Jersey expect

to pay high property taxes, fueled in

large part by taxes from our local pub-

lic school districts. Its a way of life

that, while were not happy with, we

accept.

It seems each year that more and

more families are moving out of New

Jersey because of these high property

taxes, but those people usually dont

move away until after their kids gradu-

ate high school.

Overall, our states public schools

are exceptional its one of the main

reasons that so many families contin-

ue to raise their kids here.So it should be no surprise and

shouldnt cause too much anger to

learn that New Jersey spends more per

public school student than most of the

country.

The third annual Taypayers Guide

to Education Spending released re-

cently shows that New Jerseys public

school districts spent an average of$18,0147 per pupil in 2011-12. That was

an increase of 4 percent over the year

before, according to the state.

Yes, that is expensive. But isnt it

worth it?

New Jersey public school students,

as a whole, have some of the best test

scores in the nation. Whats that old

saying: You get what you pay for?

If you want good schools, you need

to spend money.

Can school districts throughout the

state do a better job of spending while

ensuring the best education possible

for students? Of course they can and

they should.

But high school taxes are, unfortu-

nately, a way of life in New Jersey, and

it will continue to be that way for quite

some time.

Property tax relief may be in sight

in the near future, but expecting to pay

what other states pay is unrealistic.

Frankly, we shouldnt want to pay

what other states pay in school taxes,

because we get what we pay for some

of the top public schools in the nation,

which help churn out some of the best

public school students as well.

in our opinion

School taxes are high......But so are our kids test scores. Should we really be that upset?

What are your thoughts?

No one likes paying taxes, especiallywhen they are as expensive as they arehere in New Jersey. But are you gettingwhat you are paying for? Speak up andlet your voice be heard on the subject.

Lawrenceville Main Streetsboard gives an update

Lawrenceville Main Street is a not-for-profit chartered in 1997 under the NationalTrust for Historic Preservation as a com-munity advocacy organization. Our role isto promote and assist businesses, othernot-for-profits and government agencies intheir mission to provide value to the com-munity. With one part-time executive direc-tor, our dedicated volunteers serve the

community to make Lawrenceville one ofthe most attractive places to live and workin New Jersey.

In October 2009, Lawrenceville MainStreet offered a group of artists living inthe community the opportunity to promote

the visual arts through education, creationand display in Lawrenceville. Because thecollective of artists interested in develop-ing a presence did not have the resourcesto establish a formal legal entity thatwould permit them to operate, they peti-tioned and the Lawrenceville Main StreetBoard agreed to allow the collective to useLawrenceville Main Streets legal status,not-for-profit status and financial backingas guarantors of their liabilities. These in-dividuals were able to organize and estab-lish a model for operating with a physical

location on Main Street. This informal en-terprise was allowed a period of time to op-erate as a Committee of LawrencevilleMain Street [The Lawrenceville MainStreet Artists Network] until it could estab-lish its separate legal status. From its in-

ception in October 2009, it was intendedthat this Artists Committee should sepa-rate and form its own legal entity distinctfrom Lawrenceville Main Street as soon asit was able.

After 20 months of operation, with fi-nancial, administrative support, andunder Lawrenceville Main Streets tax-ex-empt status, in August 2011, the move toseparate the Artists Committee began.Lawrenceville Main Streets Board author-ized the establishment of a single checkingaccount through which the business of the

Artists Committee could be distinguishedtransparently from the rest ofLawrenceville Main Streets operations.This account was under the legal control of

Lawrenceville Main Street pend-ing the formal and legal separa-tion of the Artists Committeeinto its own distinct legal entity.

In December 2011, the board ad-vised the Artists Committee thatit would not endorse the renewalof the lease of 2683 Main St. set toexpire in May 2012.

By August 2012, three monthsafter its lease expiration, theArtists Committee had not estab-lished its own separate legal enti-ty, had not negotiated a lease, norgiven notice to the propertyowner of its intent to vacate thepremises. At the end of Septem-

ber 2012, the Main Street Boardadvised the Artists Committeethat it would no longer have useof Lawrenceville Main Streetslegal status or financial endorse-ments and that an orderly separa-tion had to be completed by theend of October 2012.

In response to the notice, the

Artists Committee unilaterallychose to disband and cease opera-tions by issuing refunds to itsmembers for October dues onOct. 15, 2012, without the authori-zation by the board ofLawrenceville Main Street.

On Oct. 16, 2012, theLawrenceville Main Street Boardrestricted access to the financialaccounts in order to put in place aboard approved plan of dissolu-tion of the Artists Committee in

accordance with federal and NewJersey state tax law andLawrenceville Main Streets not-for-profit by-laws.

On Oct. 16, 2012, the cash assetson deposit totaled approximately$19,100, and total known out-standing liabilities amounted toapproximately $12,700. These lia-

bilities included $6,000 in rent dueand the return of a $1,000 unexe-cuted grant from the LawrenceTownship Community Founda-tion.

The board authorized paymentto these creditors, who have eachreceived payment in full. The pay-ments have been reviewed by anindependent accountant. Theboard is retaining a reserve of$1,000 to satisfy future tax, ac-counting and legal expenses, and

to pay creditors who have yet tostep forward.

We would like to thank thecommunity for their patience, asthe financial matters of theArtists Committee were resolved.As of April 4, all of the knowndebts and liabilities accumulatedby the committee, for which

Lawrenceville Main Street is theultimate guarantor, have been set-tled and paid in full.

In accordance with the wishesof the individual artists presentat the Artist Committee voting (asper the minutes of the meetings),Lawrenceville Main Street willwork with a local not-for-profit or-ganization to create a programgrant for the remaining balanceof the approximately $5,400.

We want to thank the many vol-

unteers and patrons who support-ed Main Streets efforts to bring aphysical presence for art inLawrenceville.

This venture was an experi-ment of the highest merit, andthe board will continue to makesimilar efforts in response tocommunity needs.

We also want to acknowledgethe volunteers who contributedtheir time and expertise duringthe dissolution process.Lawrenceville Main Street willcontinue to work with individu-als and groups committed to pur-suing art and culture in the com-munity.

Thank you for your continuedsupport of your hometown.
