W hy Summit?

“This is where we are raising our family, I have four kids in the Summit schools, we are committed to this community, so it was an easy decision for us to move our practice here,” explained Michael Wattick, Senior Vice President, Investments.

Michael has been giving back to Summit since he and his wife Pamela moved here in 2000. He has been a board member of the Summit area Red Cross chapter since 2005, serving as chairman of the board for three years and currently serving as head of the Governance and Board Development committees. Michael was also a founding board member of the Summit-based NJ Arts News and was named Citizen of the Year by the Summit Elks.

“We believe in giving back to the community you live in. Summit has given us so much; we are always looking for ways to give back. A powerful way for us to do that was by moving our practice here.”

Currently the team is located at 40 Beechwood Road, but in 2013, they will be moving around the corner to the new executive office building at One DeForest Avenue. “We are excited about our new space. It will be first class space that reflects what we do and the clients we serve.”

T ell us about your team

and what you do.“We help our clients plan and manage all

aspects of their finances and investments. That includes a clear and continuous understanding of their financial picture, including checking accounts, liabilities, and investments.”

“We are very process driven,” says David Trinkoff, Senior Vice president, Investments. “Everything we do, from how we communicate with our clients to how we invest their money is driven by a disciplined process.” “Each of our clients has a review conversation every quarter, to ensure we stay close to our clients and what is happening in their lives.” “From our first day in this business, we’ve always kept our focus on our clients to make sure they are getting everything they need from us.”

The team prides itself on being both large and small: large enough to leverage the extraordinary global resources and capabilities of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, small enough to foster the intimacy and customization deserved by multiple generations of clients. The combination of Bank of America and Merrill Lynch has made them even more effective for their clients. “Now being part of Bank of America, we can manage our clients’ cash flow by managing their checking and savings accounts along with their investments. We have tremendous credit and lending capabilities available to us through Bank of America.”

When it comes to investing money for their clients, the team takes great pride in their unique approach. “We eat our own cooking,” says Michael Wattick. “When we allocate our clients’ portfolios, it’s the same portfolio we own for ourselves. We don’t recommend investments to our clients that we don’t invest in for ourselves…and that’s the first thing anyone should ask their advisor!”

This focus has served them well. The team’s assets under management have climbed nearly 30% over the past three years, the result of strong performance and additional investments by new and existing clients.

W hat are you advising your

clients to do now?“Our mission is to help families make rational

decisions in irrational times,” Wattick says. “Some of the best work we do is making sure our clients don’t hurt themselves.” “Technology has led to some wonderful advances in the last few decades. Unfortunately it has also led to an unprecedented level of noise when it comes to investing.” “We have discussions about the need to step back, lengthen the time frame and make sure a plan is in place.”

For the team, that plan today includes high quality stocks and short maturity bonds. “Interest rates are at all time lows,” says Trinkoff. “Rates may not go up soon, but we are more than willing to give up what we think is a small incremental return to stay short term with our bond exposure. Owning long term bonds has been productive for the last two decades; it will be a terrible idea for the next two.”

As for stocks, the team thinks the returns will be good in the coming years. “When we think about where we will get performance over the next 5-10 years, we think stocks will win by default,” Wattick says. “We invest in the highest quality companies we can find, companies that today are trading for lower valuations than they were a decade ago yet have more cash on their balance sheets than ever. When you add those new technologies that are making companies more productive and efficient, that scenario becomes very attractive to us.”

Judging by the multiple generations of families they work with, continued success is a definite for the team and their clients. We welcome them as an investing pillar in our community. Call them today: 908- 522-3322.

A six-member team of highly skilled and dedicated financial advisory professionals at

Merrill Lynch moved to Summit in early 2012. We spoke with founding partners David Trinkoff and Michael Wattick.

Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child kicked off another school year on September 5 in both the Upper and Lower Schools. Students enthusiastically greeted their friends and teachers despite a rainy first day!

Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child is an independent Catholic school enrolling boys and girls in kindergarten through grade six; and young women only in grades seven through 12. For more information about Oak Knoll, please visit www.oakknoll.org or call 908-522-8109.

Through the generous support of their donors, The Academy of Our Lady of Peace Foundation was pleased to award merit scholarships to six deserving Academy students who have exemplified excellence in academics, sports, community service, religious studies, and the creative arts. The students receiving the inaugural awards are 8th-graders Gianna Doria and Alyssa Chin, 7th-graders Robert Greeley and Nicole Doria, and 6th-graders Sean Pelcher and Abigail Gagliano. The Foundation and the entire Academy of OLP community are proud of these students and offer them our congratulations.

The Academy of Our Lady of Peace is a private Catholic school located in downtown New Providence with students in grades Pre-K3 through Grade 8. For more information, please visit www.TheAcademyOLP.org or call the school office at 908-464-8657.

Selected members of the Class of 2013 from Oratory Prep School in Summit, named Carlton Fellows, welcomed new students at the school’s recent orientation. Tom Boniello, teacher and recently appointed Dean of Students, helped coordinate the afternoon’s activities that included the new students meeting their fellows who will act as big brothers/mentors for the year. Adviser of the Carlton Fellows, Mr. Boniello asked the senior boys to present skits on dress code and some of the regulations of the school.

Head of School Bob Costello was on hand to personally welcome the new 7th, 8th and

9th graders to the all-boys Catholic school for grades 7 – 12. “You are a part of an exciting time at Oratory,” he told the students. “We have the biggest enrollment ever - 310 young men.”

Teacher and school archivist Steve Fava gave the boys a short history of the school. “Over 100 years ago, our school was called Carlton Academy and was a boarding school,” he explained, hence the Carlton Fellows name for their big brothers. For more information about Oratory Prep School and its upcoming Open Houses in October, visit the website at www.oratoryprep.org

Students in Mr. Kevin Jacobsen’s fifth grade homeroom were all smiles as Oak Knoll kicked off another school year on September 5. Pictured are Dominick Commesso of Mountainside and Sabrina Fagan of Summit.

School began on the morning of September 4 at Kent Place with the traditional Convocation ceremony where the school gathers to celebrate its history and traditions, reflects on the school’s mission and purpose, and honors the spirit of community. Each person received a single daisy, the school flower, as they joined the gathering in the school’s Field House. Head of School Susan C. Bosland welcomed the assembly and shared her thoughts and hopes for the new school year. Three students, one from each division, offered remarks and words of encouragement for their fellow classmates.

Convocation is marked with a special candle lighting ceremony symbolizing the school’s maxim - - With Wisdom She Lights the Way. Bosland lit the first of four candles, followed by twelfth grade student Madeline Ketley of Summit on behalf of the Upper School, eighth grade student Hana Charnley of Short Hills representing the Middle School, and fifth grade student Sonia Parmar of Basking Ridge representing the Primary School. A moment of silence, to give thought to the year ahead, followed

the lighting of the candles. Everyone joined in singing the alma mater before returning to classrooms and offices.

Later in the morning, student “lifers,” who have been at Kent Place for 13 years or more, visited students in the Nursery, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes to present them with daisies and share thoughts about their early years as youngsters at Kent Place.

With the holidays coming, now is the time to book your Thanksgiving family feast or your office Christmas party in one of their three elegant function rooms. If you have 175 guests, the entire second floor of the restaurant can be reserved for a grand affair or, for groups as few as 10, the space can be divided to accommodate smaller events. Their gleaming wood bar upstairs is stocked with the highest quality spirits, fine wines and imported beers, and has a libation to please every palate. An impressive specialty cocktail list offers classic martinis and signature drinks, more than twenty wines by the glass, port wines, grappa, and more.

Whether you prefer a sit-down dinner, an elegant buffet

or a stand-up cocktail reception, their staff will listen to your wishes and exceed your expectations. Clients may select from any of the restaurant’s set menu options or you can customize a menu to your exact specifications.

Here’s what some of their satisfied customers have said: “...Wow! I don’t know where to begin – the food was amazing and my boss is still talking about how wonderful everything was. Not only did you make it look easy, you made me look great! Thank you again!”

“...We are truly grateful for the wonderful food, service and support we received at Caitlin’s Communion Party! Everyone had a wonderful time and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thank you!”

Marco Polo also offers delicious, affordable off-site catering. Hosting friends for the big game? Having a family gathering at home? Planning a large office meeting? Marco Polo Off Premise Catering blends the finest quality food, service, creativity and expertise to ensure a truly exceptional event. They are the perfect solution for corporate functions, social gatherings, holiday parties and more, and can create a complete menu for any type of event, from an intimate dinner party in a home, to a high-powered business meeting

at the office, an extravagant cocktail affair or a lavish wedding reception. They will customize a menu perfectly tailored to suit the client’s taste, style and budget.

Marco Polo has been everyone’s favorite Italian-Continental restaurant for more than 75 years. With food “just like Grandma used to make” (only better!), their chefs have been preparing delicious meals with fresh ingredients, spices, and herbs...just like they cook at home! Their philosophy has been that great food, service and décor are the consistent hallmarks of a restaurant that celebrates the very best dining experience.

Atlantic Health System has named Michael Regier, a nationally-recognized voice on the topic of health care, as the hospital system’s vice president, legal affairs, and chief legal officer. As legal chief for AHS, the parent organization of Morristown, Overlook and Newton Medical Centers and Goryeb Children’s Hospital, Regier is responsible for the system’s legal, compliance, risk and claims management and internal audit teams, as well as the organization’s insurance matters.

Throughout his nearly 30-year career, Michael Regier not only handled legal affairs for major hospital organizations but also initiated efforts to educate others about health care issues such as national health care reform. “Given his experience with large hospital networks and his thorough understanding of the various matters facing the field of health care, we are pleased to add Michael’s legal perspective to help guide our organization,” said Joseph A. Trunfio, President and CEO of Atlantic Health System.

“I’ve never seen a more dynamic period in health care,” Regier said. “It’s very exciting to be part of an

organization that is clearly forward-thinking and will be figuring out how to work together with our communities in this period.”

Regier joined Atlantic Health System following five years as senior vice president, legal and corporate affairs and general counsel for VHA Inc., the nation’s largest alliance of non-profit hospitals and health systems. At VHA, based in Irving, Texas, Regier was responsible for the company’s legal, compliance, risk management and insurance teams, as well as the company’s Washington, D.C.-based Office of Public Policy and the company’s public relations and corporate communications teams.

Regier received his undergraduate degree with highest distinction from Kansas University and his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School, where he was a Dillard Fellow. He is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association, the American Bar Association Health Law Section, the Association of Corporate Counsel and the state bars of Illinois and Texas.

A “Red Engine Social” is set for Saturday night, October 20, at historic Twin Maples, 214 Springfield Avenue in Summit, to raise funds for a new “home” for Summit’s historic antique fire truck. Jointly sponsored by the Summit Historical Society and The Fortnightly Club, the spectacular event will take place from 6-10 PM at the Fortnightly clubhouse. The community is invited to attend!

Another fundraising project is the sale of colorful, insulated cotton potholders crafted by students in the Fashion Design I and II classes taught by Robin Hardesty at Summit High School. Created in a variety of colors, styles and sizes, these one-of-a-kind pieces are priced from $5 to $8 with

all profits going to the restoration and housing of the city’s decommissioned 1927 Chemical Engine No. 1. The fire engine’s new home will also feature local fire-department-related memorabilia. The new structure for the fire engine will be built at the Historical Society’s Carter House on Butler Parkway.

The unique potholders are on sale at the gift shop at the Carter House, at Sweet Nothings on Beechwood Road and at Helen’s Books & Gifts in the Strand Mall on Springfield Avenue.

Donations to the fire engine’s new home may be sent to the Summit Historical Society
