How do I stop smooks from escaping ampersand?

I've got a CSV to Java configuration file and inside one of the fields it has an ampersand. When I convert to a Java bean it adds & to the field.

HOw do I prevent smooks from doing this?

Here's the config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://ift.tt/1lg2aEi"
    xmlns:csv="http://ift.tt/1rhyGah" xmlns:jb="http://ift.tt/1rhyGak">
    <params>
        <param name="stream.filter.type">SAX</param>
        <param name="default.serialization.on">false</param>
        <param name="feature-off">http://ift.tt/1seoHsG;
    </params>

    <csv:reader
        fields="Property,PropertyID,Unit#,FloorPlan, ReportingStatus, WorkType, Sub-Status, Subject, CurrentStep, Status, DenyCounter, RevisionCounter, MoveOutDate, BaselineOPSCommitPlan, PlannedOPSCommitPlan, ActualOPSCommitPlan, BaselineCSAcceptsPlan, PlannedCSAcceptsPlan, ActualCSAcceptsPlan, BaselineOPSCommitUnit, PlannedOPSCommitUnit, ActualOPSCommitUnit, BaselineCSAcceptsUnit, PlannedCSAcceptsUnit, ActualCSAcceptsUnit, BaselineCSTurnsUnit, PlannedCSTurnsUnit, ActualCSTurnsUnit, BaselineCommunityManagerAccepts, PlannedCommunityManagerAccepts, ActualCommunityManagerAccepts, BaselineRentReady, PlannedRentReady, ActualRentReady, Area, PreleaseMove-inDate"
        skipLines="1" separator=","/>

    <jb:bindings beanId="UpDownUnitList" class="java.util.ArrayList" createOnElement="csv-set">
        <jb:wiring beanIdRef="UpDownUnit" />
    </jb:bindings>

    <jb:bindings beanId="UpDownUnit" class="com.mycompany.beans.UpDownUnit" createOnElement="csv-record">

        <jb:value data="csv-record/Unit#" property="unitName" />
        ...
        ...
        ...
        <jb:value data="csv-record/Area" property="area" />
        <jb:value data="csv-record/PreleaseMove-inDate" decoder="com.mycompany.smooks.decoders.DateNullDecoder" property="preleaseMoveInDate">
            <jb:decodeParam name="format">MM.dd.yyyy</jb:decodeParam>
        </jb:value>
    </jb:bindings>
</smooks-resource-list>
