Then I sigh and shake my head, remembering that the overpopulation of these marvelous creatures has created tremendous ecological problems for the Sourland Mountain region and countless other forests around the nation. In truth, the oversized deer herd is destroying the Sourland forest. Wildlife experts estimate that there are now more than twice as many white-tail deer in New Jersey as there were in the year 1700. In our corner of the world, the deer’s natural predators –– bears, wolves, cougars and bobcats have been eliminated, or very nearly so. At the same time, forests have been fragmented by development, creating more of the edge-ofwoods habitat preferred by deer. These factors have permitted the deer population to grow to an unnatural and unhealthy extent. While hunting and automobile collisions provide some checks, the size of the Sourland deer herd today is limited principally by the availability of food. Thus, malnutrition and related illnesses are common, as the size of the herd is too large in relation By Cliff Wilson to the food supply. Overpopulation is not only bad for the deer, but for humans as well. Deer are now the second largest cause of automobile accidents in New Jersey, trailing only drunken driving. There are more than twice as many whitetail deer in the state as there were in 1700, but there are few natural predators. The current epidemic of Lyme disease –– a serious and potentially debilitating infectious disease –– is largely attributable to deer ticks. Perhaps worst of all, the overpopulation of deer is a true ecological disaster for the forest. Browsing by the oversized herd is literally destroying the understory of the Sourland forest, and, with it, the future viability of the forest itself. The saplings that represent the next generation of trees are continually eradicated. Native shrubs and herbaceous plants are being consumed to the point of extirpation (that is, local extinction). Deer are destroying the habitat and food sources of countless oth- er species, as well as the longterm prospects of their own habitat. The Sourland Planning Council strongly advocates a diverse and healthy wildlife population in the Sourlands. Indeed, preservation and restoration of wildlife habitat are central to our mission. In the case of the white-tail deer, responsible stewardship requires responsible and sustained thinning of the herd. Human activity created the conditions that allowed this crisis to develop. It is now up to us to restore balance to the Sourland ecosystem. A number of approaches to the problem have been tried, but responsible hunting –– with an increased emphasis on culling does –– remains the most practical and effective method for controlling the deer population. Cliff Wilson, a Montgomery resident, is a member of the Sourland Planning Council, “a nonprofit organization working to protect the ecological integrity, historical resources and special character of the Sourland Mountain region.” This article was reprinted from “Living in the Sourlands: A Guide for Responsible Stewardship.” Visit www.sourland.org for more information. What’s Wrong With This Picture? The Sourland forest may appear healthy, but actually something is terribly wrong. The saplings that represent the next generation of trees and the diverse shrubs and plants that comprise the understory of a healthy forest have been destroyed by the oversized deer population. Lacking natural predators, deer have few limits other than the availability of food. So nearly every sapling and herbaceous plant suffers — browsed by deer and Photo by Jared Rosenbaum unable to survive. Stewardship Recommendations 1. Support responsible deer hunting. Allow responsible hunters to hunt deer on your land. Even a property as small as a few acres may be appropriate for bow hunting. 2. Advocate in favor of government efforts to cull the deer herd. Encourage your municipality and county to engage in deer management programs that emphasize the harvesting of does. Bringing the deer population in balance with the land’s carrying capacity will ensure healthy forests and healthy deer. 3. Create enclosures to protect saplings and other native plants. Special fencing can’t protect the entire forest, but can be useful in preserving small, select areas. 4. Educate others about the need to restore balance to the Sourland ecosystem by responsibly managing the size of the deer herd. AUGUST 11, 2010 SURVIVAL GUIDE EDITOR: SCOTT MORGAN [email protected] Thursday, August 12 E-Communications and the Law at Work N ot so long ago, E-mail was just about it for electronic communications, and employer rules about its use could be simple and straightforward. But electronic communications are rapidly evolving and the changes are forcing courts to confront the question of Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches when employees send personal message on their employers’ electronic communications devices. “In the recent past an employer could issue a general warning to employees that anything they wrote on their company-provided computer could be accessed by the company,” says Kerrie Heslin, a partner with Nukk-Freeman & Cerra, a Short Hills-based law firm. “Today we have texting, BlackBerries, cell phones, smartphones, laptops, and pagers. The courts are starting to second-guess employers and shed light on how they can monitor employee use of portable handheld devices and computers.” Heslin and Katherin NukkFreeman, co-founder and CEO of the law firm, will address what employers need to know about employee electronic communications during a webinar titled “Monitoring Employee Electronic Communications” on Thursday, August 12, from noon to 1 p.m. Cost: $129. Visit www.njicle.com. A native of Bergen County, Heslin joined the firm as a partner nearly four years ago and has practiced law for 15 years. She devotes most of her practice to the litigation of employment issues involving discrimination, whistleblower claims, compensation and benefits on behalf of employers. She graduated from Syracuse with a bachelor’s in finance and marketing in 1991 and earned her J.D. from Seton Hall in 1995. Law wasn’t on Heslin’s mind when she began college. “My original plan was to major in finance and get a job in investment banking on Wall Street,” she says. “But after an internship, it didn’t capture my interest so I decided to add a second major in marketing. I wanted something that paid decent money and was challenging.” Most of the available jobs, however, were in sales, so Heslin opted to go on to law school. “It was the right decision,” she says. “I love law and it’s a challenging field.” Heslin’s father was a dentist while her mother stayed home. “My mother was one of five children — four girls and a boy,” Heslin says. “Being traditional Irish Catholics, her parents sent only the son — not the daughters — to college. My mom always wanted to go to college so she has been very supportive of me. She’s lived vicariously through my career.” E-Comm: Attorney Kerrie Heslin says old rules about electronic communications at work no longer cover every situation. Heslin calls her own family “reverse traditional. My husband stayed at home until our two kids got a little older and then returned to his profession as a golf pro,” she says. E-mail confidential. In April the New Jersey Supreme Court addressed how much privacy and confidentiality employees might expect regarding their E-mails in Marina Stengart v. Loving Care, a home health-care agency. Stengart used a personal, password-protected, web-based E-mail account on her company’s computer for her personal communications with her attorney. The court decided that while her personal E-mails were largely fair game, those communications with her attorney were not. Continued on following page Recession-Proof Your Business!

In June the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a police department in California after it audited the text messages sent on a city pager by a police officer. The court decided that government employees are not protected against searches of their electronic communications on devices provided to them as long as their employers have “a legitimate work-related purpose for looking.” The decision represents only a preliminary effort to define public employees’ Fourth Amendment rights in the digital arena. The court declared that public employers have wide latitude to search their employees’ offices and files. But it also said that employees can still look to the Fourth Amendment for some protection of their privacy rights. While the California case addressed only government employees, Heslin says, we can extrapolate the ruling to mean it will similarly affect private employers, too.” What do these court decisions mean to employers? “These are among the first decisions in this area,” Heslin says. “There are now more onerous requirements for what employers can see and for what they can do with the informa- Clear Skin!

I expect we will see many more decisions — these are the tip of the iceberg.” Heslin used to recommend that employers create a general communications policy and reserve their right to review the communications put on the devices they provide to their employees. “Now an employer will no longer be able to get by with a one-size-fits-all policy on employee use of its communications devices,” she says. “Employers will have to take measures to protect themselves.” Heslin suggests employers determine which employees have electronic communications de- What if an employee connects his personal BlackBerry to his company computer? Employers are not automatically covered for looking. vices, and what devices each has; analyze who needs which devices, and who needs access and how much access to the Internet; create a clear policy that carefully spells out what is and what is not subject to an audit for each communications device; establish a clear process for auditing its communications devices, which should be random and be performed periodically; and name an employee to oversee the auditing of the devices and provide that employee with the proper training to do the job well. “Some employers want a policy that strictly prohibits the use of their communications devices for personal use,” Heslin says. “For most companies, that isn’t practical. Most companies permit some limited personal use because they understand employees will need to communicate some private information on company devices.” The courts have yet to address many scenarios, such as employee communications that involve patient-doctor relationships and personal finances. Sorry, is this your BlackBerry? “Employers must prepare a policy that covers all situations and all devices,” Heslin says. “For example, what if an employee connects his personal BlackBerry to his company computer? Each employer must create a policy that meets unique needs.” For example, companies in highly regulated industries, such as finance and health, may want more aggressive policies that permit them to see all personal communications permitted by the law. With an uncertain future in this area, Heslin advises her clients how to develop policies that comply with current laws and provides updates as new cases alter the law. Get involved. Despite the growing complexity of the law, employers can’t afford to take a hands-off approach, Heslin warns. “Companies have an affirmative duty to monitor the electronic communications between employees for harassment and discrimination,” she says. Failing to do so could expose companies to harassment and discrimination lawsuits. She recommends companies perform audits randomly. Otherwise, they could be accused of discrimination or retribution by targeting an individual. Typically, employers have employees sign a statement acknowledging they have reviewed and understand the policy that pertains to private use of company communication devices. AUGUST 11, 2010 U.S. 1 A U.S. 1 ADVERTISING FEATURE The Legal Side of Going Green In New Jersey F or several years the promotion of green development and alternative fuel sources have been at the forefront of the media. With the recent BP environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it is certain that further efforts to seek alternative fuel will be increased. Many companies hear the term LEED certification but are not entirely sure exactly what that means. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a rating system that was developed by the United States Green Building Counsel. There are several levels of LEED certification and various green development methods that are utilized to achieve LEED certification. One of these methods is the use of solar to power a building. The requirements for solar installations throughout the State of New Jersey are very high and today we have only scratched the surface on the number of solar installations which must be put into place to comply with the legal requirements of the State of New Jersey. New Jersey has more than 5,800 solar installations amounting to 157MW of solar capacity as of April 2010. However, New Jersey has further committed to a goal of 20 percent renewable energy use by 2020 with 2.12 percent, or an estimated 1,500MW to 2,300MW, set aside for solar. This is the nation's largest solar By Ryan A. Marrone, Esq. commitment relative to population and electricity consumption. The plan to reach 2.12 percent of solar capacity by 2021 requires approximately 174MW each year to be added to the existing capacity in order to reach this goal. As such, there has been an infusion of efforts by many businesses and companies to commence solar development. In a most conventional installation, the solar system operates under what is called a net metering concept, whereby the solar installation is placed on a building behind the utility meter and serves as a replacement to the power that is otherwise utilized by the property owner and/or tenant from the power grid. This can result in a reduced and potentially eliminated electrical cost for the facility, thereby saving tens of thousands of dollars a year. In New Jersey there is a unique market for the sale of what are called solar renewable energy credits (SREC's). The added revenue from the sale of the SREC's generated by the solar facility to offset the cost of installing the system in connection with a 30 percent grant from the Federal Government for commercial installations, results in the ability to recover the full cost of the solar installation is as few as five years with future years providing free power to the facility and an additional income A D V E R T I S I N G stream through the sale of SREC's for an additional ten years. Solar installations are not without legal issues and complications which must be factored into the equation when implementing these systems. Specifically, one must be cognizant of utility easement restrictions, municipal zoning, liability, tax consequences, and the nuances of the guidelines governing the 30 percent grant program under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. Utilizing a qualified professional solar integration firm for the installation as well as proper legal counsel to navigate the pitfalls with respect to a solar installation and green development is vital to the success of these efforts.

[email protected]. www.szaferman.com We have only scratched the surface on the number of solar installations which must be put into place to comply with New Jersey’s legal requirements. “The policy statement is not considered a contract,” Heslin says. “But a good policy will put employees on notice because it spells out which areas they should have no reasonable expectation of privacy.” That wording — “reasonable expectation of privacy” — is what the law hinges on, Heslin says. At least for right now. — John F. Heenehan The Food Networkers ‘E at local, drink global,” says chef Christopher Albrecht of Eno Terra restaurant in Kingston. It’s a catchy phrase, particularly for a talk that he will give to a local networking group with a green focus. Albrecht will be the guest speaker at the Princeton chapter of Gotham Networking on Thursday, August 12, at 7:30 p.m. at Eno Terra. Cost: $30. Visit www.gothamnetworking.com. But for Albrecht, “eat local, drink global” is more than a catch phrase and more than a philosophy on food and eating. It is a philosophy that encompasses all of the business practices at Eno Terra and its sister restaurants in the Momo Group (which also includes Terra Momo, the Witherspoon Bread Company, Nova Terra, Teresa Caffe, and Mediterra). “There are many definitions of ‘local.’ Some are obvious, some less so,” says Albrecht. The first and most obvious definition, explains Albrecht, is “proximity. There are many good reasons to go local; the convenience, the economy of travel, and the quality of the food you eat.” The farther the food must travel — in time and distance — from the garden to the table, the more flavor, texture, and nutritional value it loses. Eating local means enjoying the best meat, poultry, and produce in season. But the reality of life is that if we ate only food produced within an hour so drive and drank only beverages and wines produced in New Jersey, our diets would be as limited as they were in the days before refrigeration and fast transportation made it possible to enjoy items such as avocados and mangoes, as well as a wide variety of wines. The new local. “Let’s face it. There are not a lot of wines produced in New Jersey,” Albrecht says. That means he must look outside the region to bring a wide variety of wines to the restaurant. Drinking globally doesn’t mean, however, that you must give up the idea of local. You just have to redefine it. “When I look for suppliers in New Jersey I look for small family businesses that offer quality. When I look for food or wine globally I want the same characteristics,” Albrecht says. He has found it most often in Italy. “The Italian sensibility embodies those qualities. That’s why we emphasize Italian wine here at Eno Terra,” he says. But Albrecht doesn’t limit his search to one country. He looks for the best regional producers for each type of food he serves. “For seafood, Alaska has some of the best-managed fisheries in the world,” he says. “We’ve also developed local relationships with shrimp and salmon producers there. There are excellent family fisheries that have the same ideas about quality and service that we do. Those are the people we want to work with.” R O B I N N A L LY & D E S I G N ADVERTISEMENTS • ANNUAL REPORTS • BROCHURES CATALOGUES • CORPORATE IDENTITY • DIRECT MAIL INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA • PACKAGE DESIGN PHOTO SHOOTS • P.O.P.

Linda Richter Here and There: Chef Christopher Albrecht of Eno Terra restaurant says redefining ‘local’ is a must in his industry these days. Local relationships. When working with New Jersey farmers Albrecht likes to go to the farm, meet the owners, talk to them about their products, and see exactly how they produce the food he will buy. He doesn’t usually have that opportunity with out-of-state or outof-country suppliers, but he says he still wants to develop those local relationships, even if the other person is half a world away.

Individuals can also enjoy the same quality of food from local farmers. Albrecht particularly enjoys Muth Family Farm in Williamstown. Everything on the farm is organically grown and produced. He also recommends Griggstown Farm for its poultry products. “They really embrace the idea of farming as an expression of their art,” says Albrecht. The easiest way to eat delicious, fresh food daily is to shop the farmer’s markets with a different eye. Rather than making a list of what you want to cook for the week, go to the market, see what is in season, what looks the freshest, and then plan your meals around it. “If you see great eggplant this week, buy it and then use it for the basis for your meal. If you don’t know any eggplant recipes, it’s easy to look them up in a cookbook,” he says.

Modern Women: Shari Joslin, right, with her daughter, Katarina, take a lunch break with a twist – they still have their Blackberries at the ready, even on their down time. One of the EMBA program’s first ventures was to teach the 10 executive-level students about personal management. Everyone used the word “balance.” For Joslin, it didn’t register. The harder she tried to carve out any kind of balance between work, life, and school, the less able she was to do it. Then, about halfway through her first semester, a business coach in the course used a different word — integration. The difference between balance and integration, Joslin says, is that while balance means allotting eight hours to work, two hours to homework, and three hours to the kids every day, integration means working all avenues of your life together when the time is best for a particular avenue. At home, she has learned to pause before responding to her BlackBerry. She still sleeps with it and she always answers it, but it doesn’t automatically wake her up like it used to, and she does not always answer it right away. If she and Katarina are doing something together, the job can wait an hour or two.

And isn’t it Vijay Kasarabada: Just Do It V ijay Kasarabada is all about the love. If you bother to do something, anything, he feels you should love it. Why else would you consign yourself to a job, or a marriage, or a family? Or school? “If you’re at work at you’re always waiting for five o’clock,” he says, “maybe you should be doing something else.” And he does love what he does, although he can’t talk much about it. Suffice to say he’s a vice president at Blackrock — the financial Goliath based on Scudders Mill Road in Plainsboro that is soon to come to University Square at Alexander Road and Route 1 — and he works in technology. He is equally mum about his wife, Bhavana, a research scientist at a major, Princeton-based pharma company that he will not name. Past that, Kasarabada is a wide-open book, by Scott Morgan and if he had a Chapter 1, it would be about loving what you do for a living. You will, after all, spend a lot of time doing it. It wasn’t a desire to move into the financial field proper that motivated him to pursue his MBA in finance at Rutgers. He received his bachelor’s degree in computer science back in his native India and he wants to stay in the technology realm. What motivated him is twofold — he wanted to broaden his horizons and he wanted to go to school in the United States. Born in India, Kasarabada could be considered a true global citizen. His father’s job in the oil industry took the family around the world. Between ages 3 and 8, Kasarabada says he was not in India. Eventually, though, the family settled in New Dehli, where his father now runs an interContinued on page 38 by Bart Jackson ditionally, PSM is participating in three career and outreach events on the New high time that business people have a Brunswick campus: engineering and substantial expertise in the products they computer science on Friday, September 24, at 10 a.m.; math and actuarial on Friare offering?

The year-and-a-half includes a full semester in the summer. The final thesis is replaced by each student devising a practical, workable business plan. Within the science curricula, 20 different concentrations are offered, ranging from chemical and biochemical engineering and industrial mathematics, to IT for Pharmaceuticals, statistics, urban development, and actuarial sciences. This array allows students to work within their specific fields and from there learn their industries’ business applications. “If a researcher fully understands phases I through IV in getting a drug to market, he not only improves his own research ability, he broadens his career choices,” says Silver. The program also offers certification degrees in science and technology management and pharmaceuticals and clinical trials management. On the business side, the entire, essential MBA has been concentrated into 19 credits of core and elective courses. finance and accounting, marketing, communications and leadership, ethics and professionalism, and a capstone course for entrepreneurs. To enhance the roster of business school faculty who will handle these courses, Rutgers has enlisted business leaders such as Steve Parent (formerly with Merck) and Gregory Ford(formerly with BristolMyers Squibb) to teach “Drug Development from Concept to Market.” “We go beyond what’s strictly business here,” says Silver. “Several courses have strong instruction in intellectual property. It’s more legal than commerce, but for scientists and technological people, its vital.” It matters little whether you approach Rutgers’ PSM program from an entrepreneur’s or scientist’s vantage point.

The pun has gotten a little stale since it first popped up in June, and I was skeptical about yet another venue offering “shore” things when I heard about the Clocktower Cabana Bar, a new summertime addition to Main Street Bistro & Bar in the Princeton Shopping Center. Nonetheless my mother and I headed to the new bar one Monday evening ready for some cold drinks, and we were not disappointed. As its name indicates the Clocktower Cabana Bar is situated beneath the clock tower in the shopping center’s courtyard, a short distance from Main Street’s regular outdoor dining area. The bar has seating on all four sides and is covered, so patrons and bartenders are protected from the sun or rain. If barstools aren’t for you, there are also cushioned chairs and tables set up. There is no music, and the space is conducive to quiet conversations or larger gatherings. About half of the seats around the bar were taken when we arrived at around 6 p.m., and the clientele was a mixture of young, 20-somethings — many of them friends of the bartender — and the older crowd typical at Main Street. The bartender explained that aside from the good weather, the bar has done well since it opened just over two weeks ago since many of the regulars at Main Street’s indoor bar have moved their daily happy hours to the Cabana. The bar’s menu features a variety of cold, summery mixed drinks as well as beer, sangria, and various non-alcoholic smoothies and iced drinks.

For our first round I ordered a “Cabana Cooler,” a sweet, bright green concoction with Malibu rum, Midori, and pineapple juice served in a martini glass ($9). My mother had a Frenchtini (vodka, raspberry liqueur, and pineapple juice, $10). While there is a definite laid back, beach bar feel to the Cabana, patrons also have the luxury of ordering from Main Street’s full, upscale food menu. Both were very sweet but also cool and refreshing. M y father arrived in time for the second round, and we moved on to beer. Beer connoisseurs will happily note that the beer selection is more international and higher class than the average bar’s — no Budweiser or Miller Lite in sight. Instead, they have Dos Equis Amber, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, and Blue Point Rastafara Rye Ale on tap ($5.50), as well as eight by-thebottle selections ($4.50). My dad accepted the bartender’s offer of a free sample of the Rastafara Ale and ultimately ordered one. Though it was less bitter and hoppy than a regular IPA, I chose something at the other end of the beer spectrum: a bottle of Leinenkugel Summer Shandy, a fruity, lemonade-infused wheat beer that is perfect for the beach.

Bring a chair. $5. 8:30 p.m. But while there is a definite laid back, beach bar feel to the Cabana, patrons also have the luxury of ordering from Main Street’s full, upscale food menu. We shared the con queso dip (two kinds of corn chips with guacamole, bean chili, shredded cheese, fresh tomatoes, and scallions, $11), a salty appetizer that went well with our sugary drinks. Queso dip empty and glasses drained, my parents and I finally paid our bill nearly an hour and a half after we had arrived. We came thirsty and left fully satisfied with our experience. I’ll shorely be back for more before the summer ends. — Sara Hastings Main Street Clocktower Cabana Bar, 301 North Harrison Street, Princeton, 609-921-2777. www.mainstreetprinceton.com.

These young performers, however, chose a different path, with four productions that highlight ambitious and bold storytelling in an effort to provide Princeton audiences with more substantial offerings this summer. And, while the season occasionally had a moment that was more adventurous than successful, one has to applaud their tenacity and idealistic focus. Lanford Wilson’s “Fifth of July” closes out the season, and it’s an interesting and brave choice that also doubles as a bit of meta-commentary on the nature of this summer and of the precipice of 20-somethings in modern America. Set in Lebanon, MO, on fourth of July weekend in 1977, the play centers around a quartet of dreamers in their early 30s as they reflect back on the promises made to one another in the midst of the Love Generation and the horrors of Vietnam. It’s hard not to draw parallels to the current national climate, with the country in another war of amorphous moral underpinnings and a tide of idealistic energy tampered by the threshold of disillusionment. It’s worth getting out of the way right up front—all of the actors in “Fifth of July” are in their early twenties, with the majority of them playing roles in their 30s (one is 65, another in her early teens). But it’s one of those evenings of theater where the suspension of disbelief of age-appropriate casting goes a long way; once this suspension is in place, the warmth and whollydrawn world created by Kip Williams’ astute direction is welcoming and irresistible. These eight young actors wield Lanford Wilson’s words with skill and ‘Fifth of July’ is a quiet, lovely play about huge issues that evokes feelings of both comfort and nostalgia. aplomb, and the result is a completely engrossing experience. A t its heart, “Fifth of July” is a play about the battle between love and cynicism. The play seems to radiate with that implacable late-summer glow born from eight performers who relish in more than just the meatiness of their well-written roles — they genuinely seem to care for and like one another. It’s like you’re a fly on the wall, taking in a family’s comfortable interactions on a late summer afternoon. A group of burnt-out, grown-up former radicals has gathered at the sprawling, worn-down estate of Sally Talley (a generation older than her appearance in Wilson’s “Talley’s Folly,” performed at Mc- Carter two seasons ago), still overcoming the loss of her husband in the previous year. There’s brother and sister Ken (Tyler Weaks) and June (Veronica Severd), and their childhood friend, John (Andy Linz), and his wife, Gwen (Dominique Salerno). The bonds of friendship among these four are palpable; you really get the feeling that they have known one another forever. And each is spectacularly well-drawn. Gwen, a copper heiress, is intent on making it, at 33, as a rock musician. She’s all about the grand gestures, coupled with a mild case of histrionic personality disorder — it’s a plum role that as fun to watch as it looks to play, and Salerno has a ball. Her husband, John, is perhaps the most staunchly adult of the foursome — transformed into the rigid caretaker of both his wife’s assets and, indeed, his wife herself, protecting her from the more destructive aspects of her lingering free-spirit ways. June’s radicalism has mellowed into a wistful nostalgia for days gone by, with her buoyant teenage daughter, Shirley (Heather May), as an omnipresent reminder and living echo of her own misspent youth. And then there’s Kenneth, the emotional core of the play. Acerbic and likable, Kenneth was the popular focal point of the quartet who neglected to dodge the draft, and lost his legs in the war. With the soul of a poet and a damaged, pointed wit, Kenneth’s love for his hometown coupled with an abject fear of appearing broken create a magnetic character. Tyler Weaks is a find — his portrayal is Rock My World: Dominique Salerno as Gwen. gentle, nuanced, and completely believable. His relationship with his partner, Jed (Daniel Rattner), has the marks of pain and slowbuilt love all around it. It creates that rare magic where you forget you’re watching a play, but eavesdropping on the quietly defining moments of someone else’s life. “Fifth of July” is a quiet, lovely play about huge issues that evokes feelings of both comfort and nostalgia; it’s easy to see yourselves in these people, and to remember a time in our lives when we wanted more than we had — and to go further still and provoke ourselves to fight for the things we need and love in each other. It transforms a quiet summer night into an evening with new friends we’ve known all our lives, and is well worth your time. — Jonathan Elliott “Fifth of July,” Princeton Summer Theater, Hamilton Murray Theater.

Reg. $45 609-334-5057 • 2416 Pennington Rd., Pennington, NJ ark St. Germain’s absorbing, intellectually stimulating play about an imagined yet entirely possible meeting between the controversial and legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud and the rising literary voice and religious philosopher/professor C.S. Lewis should not be missed. Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, the play is fortunate to have two superb actors bringing these formidable characters to life. Martin Rayner is splendid as the resolutely irreligious Freud whose worsening health finds him considering suicide. Mark H. Dold is equally on target as C. S. Lewis, the irrefutably smug yet impassionedly committed convert to Catholicism, famed as the author of “The Chronicles of Narnia.” The audience at the performance I saw seemed as engrossed as I at the clever way that Marchant has presided over this wittily and compassionately dramatized clash of personalities and ideologies. Even if one goes to this play with a preconceived notion about which or whose side you are on, St. Germain presents the conditions and issues of their disputation on a very level playing field. As characterized, we could argue that Freud at 83 years old, seriously ill and illtempered, is the more enviably mature practitioner of his convictions, and that Lewis, a former atheist and a war veteran, has somehow embraced religiosity less from an epiphany than as a form of familial rebellion. But even these observations become less fixed and more abstracted during the ensuing discourse. While crediting “The Question of God” by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr. as his jumping off point, St. Germain offers an honest consideration of these commendably argumentative two men through their point-counterpoint debating. There are glimmers that even they are also unwittingly drawn to concede, although not in so many words, that the existence of God cannot and probably never will be validated either by a metaphysical supposition or by a scientific hypothesis. The result of this is that everybody leaves believing exactly what they believed at the start, or not.

For a talky play there is nothing static about the dialogue or the behavior of these two highly opinionated characters. It is certainly amusing to listen to the challenges they make, each inflexible, each armed with his own arsenal of questions and answers. That there is no loss of momentum during the play’s 75 minutes in real time is a laudable accomplishment. The play’s most unexpected turn has Lewis suddenly having to help Freud cope with a life-threatening emergency.

When the book came out, Buell was both celebrated and panned as one of three prominent exponents of “groupie lit,” along with Patti D’Arbanville and Pamela Des Barres. But Buell has a special place in the annals of the music, chiefly because she has been witness to some of the most compelling events and personalities of the rock era. “Some people have called me the ‘Forrest Gump’ of rock and roll, because I have been able to do a lot of things that a lot of people could only dream of,” Buell says. “I have been very fortunate in my life that my dreams have all sort of come true.” Beverle Lorence Buell was born on July 14, 1953, Bastille Day, in Portsmouth, Virginia. Her father was a military man, who later became a psychologist and professor at the University of Florida and who was out of her life after her mother divorced him and remarried. Buell’s stepfather, Lester Johnson, was also a military man, an officer, whose jobs took him to different cities, principally during the Vietnam War. “I was educated in Catholic by Kevin L. Carter notoriety, though not without a catch. “It kind of threw a bit of a monkey wrench into my modeling career, but only in this country,” she says. “In Europe, nobody cared that I had posed nude. It was a different culture, different consciousness. People were, and are, much freer (there), especially in the fashion industry. But in America, back then, fashion models didn’t pose nude. It was considered something of a taboo. Now, of course, it is much more accepted.” However, being Miss November also gave her much more cachet in the rock world. She began dating stars such as Jimmy Page and Todd Rundgren, whom she had a long-term relationship with even when she met Steven. In fact, says Buell, she had told both her daughter and Rundgren that Rundgren was Liv’s father because Steven Tyler had been too drugged out to be a responsible parent. B uell’s 2001 memoir starts out with a zinger of an anecdote. She and her best friend were walking on a boardwalk in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1968 when a tall, flamboyantly dressed black man pulled up in a sumptuous, latemodel Cadillac. He let the electric windows down and asked the two girls if they wanted to come see a concert that night. Although Buell’s friend seemed excited, Buell was scared, and quickly pulled her friend away. Her friend was angry. It was Jimi Hendrix. That’s the kind of life Buell had in the world of rock and roll in the 1970s and ’80s. Still, Buell says that her book (written with Victor Bockris) and the stories she tells don’t really represent her perfectly — the Charles Barkley Syndrome? — and that she is planning on working on another book soon. In the early 1980s, Buell began singing herself. Ric Ocasek, leader of the Cars, produced her first record, the EP “Covers Girl,” with the Cars backing her. Six albums later, Buell is touring in promotion of “Sugar.” “About two years ago I was at an auction for Beatles memorabilia, and I ran into an old friend, Steve Lee, now the vice president at Sirius Satellite Radio,” she says. “I was trying to pitch him on a great idea for a radio show I wanted to do, but he said, ‘Ya know, Bebe, you should be back in the studio making a record.’ So I went home and told Jim that we needed to get in the studio and get working. I had been so frustrated — for years I have been walking around with all of these tunes inside of me.” The songs on the album are often autobiographical, or at least drawn from experiences in Buell’s life. “It’s like giving birth,” she says. “When you’re a songwriter, you get all (twisted) up if you can’t get your songs out.” With collaborations from drummer Bobbie Rae and guitarist Jimmy Walls, most of the lyrics were written by Buell. “I wrote ‘Gray Girl’ about a dog that passed away, and ‘Black Angel’ was written about a dear friend of mine, Joey Ramone, who passed away,” she says. “There is a lot of passion on the record; there was a lot of stuff that I wanted to get off my chest. So there are lot of things that needed to be said. I look at ‘Sugar’ as a synopsis of my life.” Now, having been married to fellow rocker Wallerstein (Das Damen, Vacationland) for the past eight years and having raised Doing It Her Way: She may be Liv Tyler’s mom whose ex-boyfriends include Steven Tyler, Jimmy Page, and Todd Rundgren, but Bebe Buell’s also a rocker in her own right. daughter Liv to adulthood, Buell is enjoying middle aged rockerdom and a quieter, more stable lifestyle. “Now that (Liv) is fine, grown and into her career, I can do all the things that I have wanted to do in my life,” says Buell. “When you know you’ve done a good job, it’s easy for you to enjoy your own success. “My life has been so rich in the last 10 years,” she continues. “I’ve had so many life lessons and experiences (since then). I met my husband and have had a very stable relationship for the past 10 years. It’s lovely to work with someone, to have a partnership with someone. Fidelity, monogamy, all the things you want. I love having stability in my life and a stable, solid relationship. I’m able to focus on one thing now — my music.” Bebe Buell, the Record Collector, 358 Farnsworth Avenue, Bordentown.

I t's that time of year again! While most kids are thinking of new clothes and new supplies for the upcoming school year, it's also an ideal time for parents to reinforce good health habits, including ways to keep your kids' teeth in tip-top shape. Children in the United States need and deserve to arrive on the first day of school healthy and ready to learn, according to a statement by past U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, M.D., M.P.H. But more than half of all 5-to-9year-old children have at least one cavity or filling. And, when a child has serious tooth decay, an infectious disease for which there is no immunization and that is second only to the common cold in prevalence; it can affect overall health and lead to problems in eating, speaking and even cause school absences. Over 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental-related illness. "Children with preventable or untreated health may have trouble concentrating and learning," says Alycia Rodgers, M.D., AAP spokesperson. When a child has serious tooth decay, it can affect overall health and can lead to problems in eating, speaking and paying attention in class. Most parents don't realize that tooth decay is a bacterial disease. It remains the most common, chronic disease of children and is a key cause of tooth loss in younger people. Here are some back to school tips for maintaining healthy smiles: 1. Schedule a trip to the dentist. Getting an exam taken care of at the beginning of the school year will save you the hassle of scheduling a visit to the dentist around school hours or after-school activities. Add a dental exam to your backto-school preparation list: new clothes, new supplies, new dental exam! August 15 A U.S. 1 ADVERTISING FEATURE Continued from preceding page 2. Make a dental care kit for school. Brushing after lunch is the new standard! A dental care kit should at least contain a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss. Let your son or daughter pick the bag, just make sure it has a zipper closure and plastic lining and fits easily into a backpack. 3. Give your kids healthy snacks. Instead of cookies, chips or packaged snacks that contain cavity-causing sugars, give your kids wholesome goodies like fresh fruit, low-salt nuts, celery or carrot sticks, even cottage cheese or low-fat plain yogurt to eat at home or school. Your dentist will thank you for it! 4. Replace sodas and sports drinks with water. Most sodas, sports or energy drinks and even "vitamin" waters are loaded with sugar. Give your kids bottled water to take to school. For an ecofriendly option, get them reusable water bottles -- some even have built-in filters! 5. Get custom-made mouthguards. Have your family dentist create custommade mouthguards for your kids to wear during gym class or after-school activities. This simple device can protect their teeth from being broken or knocked-out by a ball, a fall or rough play. 6. Buy new toothbrushes. At our office we give you one at your recall visit every six months. Make oral hygiene fun by starting off the new school year with new toothbrushes! Younger kids can pick toothbrushes with designs of their favorite cartoon characters, glitter, stars and so on. Older kids might enjoy the switch to an electric toothbrush. 7. Start a reward system. If your kids get a good report card at the dentist, treat it as an accomplishment. Rewards don't have to be extravagant or expensive: make a giant tooth or star and hang it on the fridge for little ones, plan Walking Tour, Historical Society of Princeton, Bainbridge House, 158 Nassau Street, Princeton, 609-921-6748. www.princetonhistory.org.

Brace your kids for braces. There are now many braces options that look better and take less time. Be sure to get informed about traditional braces and Invisalign, two choices for teens today. Effective with the 2008 school year, New York's law requires that students enrolling in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten or first grade must present a dental health certificate within 30 days after the student enters the grade. New Jersey is probably not far behind. We have to stop separating the mouth from the rest of the body. If you are taking your child for a physical before school why would you leave his mouth out? You are healthy only if all parts of your body are healthy including your tongue, your teeth and your gums!

Davis, 43, grew up in New York City, but moved with his mother to Princeton as a teen, when she remarried. Writing runs in his family, with his mother, Flora Davis, a noted journalist and writer of non-fiction works, including “Moving the Mountain: The Women’s Movement in America Since 1960.” His father was a historian and speechwriter, crafting speeches for such groups as the National Urban League. “I was at a pretty young age when I realized I wanted to be an actor, but since mom and dad were both writers, they supported me, they understood the creative impulse,” Davis says. “When we lived in New York, we often went to the theater, and I also took acting classes and just loved it. I always knew I wanted to act.” A graduate of Princeton High School’s class of 1986, Davis has fond memories of being involved in theater there. “My acting teacher, Maureen West, was a mentor, and Carol Wimberg, the theater teacher at PHS, also inspired me,” he says. Davis went on to Mercer County College, and then the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, graduating in 1999. Since then, he has tried his hand at a little bit of everything theatrical. He had a comedy sketch group in Philadelphia at one time, taught theater, directed plays, and designed sets and lighting. “I love it all, and am comfortable doing any of it,” he says. “For a long time, I thought I was an ac- Summer Sidewalk SALE tor, but then I discovered that I am an acting teacher,” Davis says. “I love being on the stage but teaching is what I was put on earth to do.” He is currently in his sixth year at East Brunswick High School. He also taught in Franklin Township for five years, and simultaneously taught at the Somerset County High School of the Performing Arts and the Mercer County High School of the Performing Arts. Griffith, 33, is a native of central New Jersey, who grew up in East Brunswick, Cranbury, and Princeton. He says although his father wasn’t employed in the arts, his family was never against creativity. “My father played the trumpet, my brother is a musician, my sister is a sketch artist, so there was always art in the family,” he says. Griffith’s day job is with ADK Graphics, his family’s print and design firm based in Robbinsville. Griffith’s passion is writing, and he specifically sought out Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I., because the college offers a major in creative writing. He earned a BFA in 1999. The two partners formed Chimera Productions less than a decade ago, after meeting “over cigars” at A Little Taste of Cuba, the cigar aficionado’s haven on Witherspoon Street in Princeton. “We’re both into cigars, and we met there, started talking and became friends, eventually founding Chimera together,” Davis says. “Drew was already doing some activities with the Arts Council of Princeton, so we decided to approach them about doing some theater. We started at the alternative space they were using while the current venue was under construc- Boy Loves Girl: Jeffrey Allan Davis, left, Janet Quarterone, and David Sullivan in rehearsal for ‘The Pavilion’ by Craig Wright. tion (the former ConTEMPORARY Arts Center on Harrison Street.) We were actually the first theatrical group to perform in the new space, and we’ve come back every summer.” Both men express praise and gratitude for the Arts Council of Princeton. “Over the years, they’ve really nurtured us, and they don’t put restrictions on us,” Griffith says. “We have full creative control, but we work together to make that productive for everyone. Jeff Nathanson (the Arts Council’s executive director) has especially been a great supporter and friend. “We’ve seen success for all the shows we’ve done there, and we’ve built a nice following in the area,” Griffith adds. “We like that we’re presented by the Arts Council. We’re not only using their building, we love that we’re a kind of team. It makes for a great relationship, and everyone is really invested, 100 percent devoted to their tasks.” “The Pavilion,” Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon Street.

For the rest of us, this stunning collection of images capturing a behind-thescenes look at President-elect John F. Kennedy and his young family will forge a graphic link between our often disturbing present and more promising times — a brief moment when it seemed as if an American version of Camelot was just around the corner. The photographs that comprise the exhibit were taken at a time when it looked like the best was yet to come. Taken after JFK was elected but before his inauguration, these images capture an intimate domestic moment as seen through the lens of the internationally acclaimed photographer Richard Avedon. Organized by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, with the sponsorship of the History Channel, the 27 black and white images were made in a single afternoon on January 3, 1961. The assembled photographs function collectively as a snapshot of the emerging first family on the brink of the inauguration — a telling look into the lives of John, Jackie, Caroline, and six-week old John Jr. They combine to create a graphic narrative that speaks of promise for the future and the warmth and strength of family connectedness; a story that is especially meaningful because we all know how it ends — the aura surrounding much-loved children, glamorous parents, and their dreams for the future that Avedon captured that day marked the beginning of a saga that ended with devastating loss for the family and for this country. The exhibition was organized by Shannon Thomas Perich, associate curator of the division of culture and the arts at the Smithsonian, who concentrates on the history of photography. She makes particular note of the profound personal connection viewers make with the featured images: “These poignant and stirring photographs never fail to trigger memories, generate conversation, and make visitors recognize that they, themselves, are part of American history. If people are of a certain age, they will recall where they were when Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963.” Morven’s curator of collections and exhibitions Elizabeth Allen says that she is hoping that visitors to the Kennedy exhibit at Morven will share their feelings and their memories as well. “We have added an interactive section to the display. We want visitors to leave their memories on a bulletin board. We are hoping for recollections of their own childhood, life in the ’60s, and their thoughts about JFK and the day he was in Princeton (Kennedy stopped at Morven for a campaign rest stop between New Brunswick and Trenton and met with Governor Meyner in September of 1960.) We think there are lot of people who remember that day.” When all is said and done, Allen says the assembled memories will become part of Morven’s permanent collection — another chapter in the Princeton story. “Once the exhibition is down we will make the bulletin board into a memory book, and add it to our archives.” Originally made for a photo-story in Harper’s Bazaar, only six of the images in the exhibit appeared in that magazine’s February, 1961, issue. Those photographs, however, combined with another Avedon series made that same afternoon that ran in Look magazine, to become the iconic imagery by which the country identified the Kennedy family. T he inclusion of enlarged contact sheets with the photographers’ notations turn the collection into a brief lesson in the art of the photograph and offer insight into Avedon’s creative process. We are able to see which images he chose for the final cut along with those he did not include, and consider his choices. In addition, didactic panels enrich the instructive mix with reference to retouching, dodging, and burning — the photographers’ technical manipulation of the original images. Richard Avedon (1923-2004) is regarded as one of this country’s most influential and innovative photographers. Noted for his telling portraits of the great and famous, he has become almost as well known as his subjects. He is credited with reshaping fashion photography, and was the model for the photographer who was the subject of the movie “Funny Face.” In addition, the film “Capote” includes reference to Avedon’s collaboration with Truman Capote, and recreations of his photographs of “In Cold Blood” murderers Perry Smith and Richard Hickock. Avedon won many awards for his work, including the International Center of Photography Master of Photography Award in 1993. Avedon used his camera to capture the soul of his subject. His portraits are easily distinguished by their minimalist style, in which he was able to evoke aspects of personality and feeling that others were unable to convey. In discussing his own work the late photographer remarked on its complex nature saying, “A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he’s being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he’s wearing or how he looks. . .Photography is a fiction. It’s lending yourself to the artist.” The New York Times’s obituary of Avedon made note of his impact on the medium saying “Mr. Avedon revolutionized the 20th-century art of fashion photography, imbuing it with touches of both gritty realism and outrageous fantasy and instilling it with a relentlessly experimental drive. His fashion and portrait photographs helped define America’s image of style, beauty, and culture for the last half-century.” Avedon’s ability to make profound connections with his subject is readily apparent in this exhibition. Many of the previously unseen images present the Kennedys as a more down-to-earth family than the larger-than-life, glam- The Birth of Camelot: These photographs taken by Richard Avedon of the pre-inauguration Kennedys on January 3, 1961, are among those on view in an exhibit at Morven through October 29. orous figures whose photos were to appear in Harper’s and Look. These photographs offer an intimate view of domestic connectedness: the bond between husband and wife, the profound link between mother and child, father and daughter, and the aura surrounding happy children and loving siblings. I mages of Caroline are especially endearing. She is presented as playful with her father, gleeful by herself, and loving with her baby brother. The childish energy she projected was even able to make her father look relaxed — something that rarely happened when he was in front of a camera. Images of Jackie are particularly telling. Avedon has caught her welldocumented elegance and sense of style as well as her deep connections with her children. An image with her infant son is a contemporary take on Madonna and Child. Another in her pre-inaugural gown is as elegant and glamour-laden as Avedon’s finest fashion work. Morven, which has played a role in the history of the state and nation for more than 200 years, is a particularly apt venue for this exhibition. Built in the 1750s by Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the house has had presidential connections from its earliest days. During the American revolution it was a gathering place for the social and political elite including Princetonian Originally made for a photo-story in Harper’s Bazaar, only six of the images in the exhibit appeared in that magazine’s February, 1961, issue. Elias Boudinot, President of the Continental Congress. Visitors have ranged from George Washington and James Madison to JFK. Lady Bird Johnson rested there after helping start the national Head Start program in Newark, and Jimmy Carter’s campaign for President received an important early push at a Morven reception. The historic house is now a museum that tells the story of its historic past. Director Clare Smith says in the next exhibition “we are going to look at life in Morven over the years with the family memorabilia of those who lived here. We are planning, in conjunction with the Senior Resource Center, to invite the governors and their families who lived at Morven — the Hughes, Cahills, Byrnes — to share their stories,” says Smith. To that end she says that they are seeking stories, local memories, and significant objects to include in the display. Smith says the state also takes center stage. “Our mission is to showcase the cultural heritage of New Jersey. It gives us a real breadth of opportunities. All we need is a local connection. The Kennedy exhibit is an example of what we can do with a local tie.” Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition, Morven Museum, 55 Stockton Street, Princeton.

AUGUST 11, 2010 Back to School Balancing Act Shari Joslin Continued from page 10 Being the mother of a teenager has opened things up a little for Joslin. Katarina is old enough to take care of herself at home in the afternoons, but not old enough to stay home alone whenever her mother is out of town overnight. “She like’s to think she’s old enough, but she’s not,” Joslin says. With her family back in Kentucky, Joslin has cultivated a network of trusted friends who have become her surrogate family here. Neighbors and the families of Katarina’s friends take her in when Joslin goes out of town. Joslin says the effort to integrate work, school, and family demands a good support network. If you have good family who can help you out, use them. If you need to make some friends, make some. But for God’s sake, don’t try to go it alone. The instinct to pull back every now and again, to trust in others, and to let Katarina’s wishes trump other things might have been there all along, but it had been quashed by Joslin’s ambitions. She felt the way to get ahead in life was to work, and all other things would fall into place accordingly. But thanks to some insights gleaned from her EMBA study, Joslin has learned the value of life outside the office. “You don’t have to be a workaholic to get ahead in life,” she says. “Stepping away has made me a better person all around. You don’t have to work 24/7.” This is not to suggest that Joslin has ever overlooked her daughter. She says that no matter what, she was always there for Katarina’s choral concerts, her cheerleading camps, her school activities. She has always made time for her daughter, she has just come to realize that making a better life for Katarina means more than making money and being a whiz-bang executive type. Joslin finds herself more often chauffeuring Katarina and her friends than simply hanging out, just the two of them, now that Katarina is 14. But Joslin makes it ‘You don’t have to be a workaholic to get ahead in life. Stepping away has made me a better person.’ a point to leave work around 5 or 5:30 (rather than 8) and is particularly sensitive to her daughter’s temperament. When Katarina’s mood gets terser, Joslin knows it’s time to pull back on the work and spend more time with her. This sensitivity happened largely because of the EMBA, Joslin says. The course, designed to mimic real-world executive settings, takes its lessons on work/life/school balance seriously. More than just throwing students into a classroom, the instructors take great pains to guide them through management and leadership skills. Hand-in-hand with personal time management, Joslin says, are lessons in what makes an effective leader. She was surprised to find out that the answer is to take a back seat when necessary. “Being a good leader means being a good follower too,” she says. “It takes a great deal of humility.” Her sentiments hold true even when she knows she’s right and others aren’t. Whereas the Shari Joslin of 2007 would never say this, the new model says: “Sometimes you just have to let people make mistakes.” In the environment of the program Joslin learned the value of listening. To her surprise, it turns out that other people actually have good ideas sometimes. It also turns out that listening has helped her pay better attention to Katarina’s moods. Despite her daughter’s independent nature and despite her being 14, Joslin says she has traded the physically demanding side of motherhood for the emotionally demanding one. “She’s at an age where she needs attention,” Joslin says. “And I can always tell by her mood when she needs it.” Joslin knew she had made serious progress when she bought Katarina two tickets to see 16-yearold Canadian pop star Justin Bieber not too long ago. Joslin had bought two VIP tickets, expecting Katarina to go with a friend. Katarina’s answer: “I want to take my mom.” She still wells up when she talks about it. Joslin admits that she didn’t expect an MBA to give her better life skills, but she got them nonetheless. She didn’t expect it to beat the ego out of her either, but it did. And even though she has always had a solid work ethic, she says the EMBA has taught her the difference between a working mom and a mom who’s always working.

He has worked in various food-related plants, content to be a manager, uninterested in running the show. Joslin, on the other hand, was born ambitious. At 18 she started working at the Brown-Forman distillery in Kentucky. This is the company that makes Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, and various other name brand liquors. By age 19, she and one of her bosses left to start a product development consulting company. “It was just the two of us for a while,” she says. I stayed with him for seven years, but I didn’t know whether I really wanted to be an entrepreneur.” During this tenure Joslin finished college. She holds a bachelor’s in chemistry from Bellarmine University in Kentucky, Class of 1997. She moved onto Sension, a flavorings company, where she says “I cleaned house.” Soon she took up another co-worker on his offer to join him at his own startup, Danisco, in Florida. Danisco sold its flavors division to Firmenich in 2007, leading her here. “People always ask me, ‘How could you leave Florida for New Jersey?’” she says. “But I like the seasons. Florida only has two — summer and more summer.” These days Joslin is responsible mainly for profit and loss strategies in her division (“It’s all P&L”) and seemingly a thousand other responsibilities within the company. It’s the consequence of ambition. “When you do good work, you get more to do,” she says. She manages the business units that cover juices, drinks, and alcoholic beverages. She also oversees the success aspect, a 19-person subdivision that shares and distributes Firmenich success stories. Agility, she says, is the hardest for most (including herself) to conquer. She has always been the type to adapt, but most people have a tough time getting their integration in line. And while she has a few titles of her own, Joslin has stopped letting herself get hung up on them. “Seriously,” she asks. “Who cares about a title?” Rider University, College of Business Administration, 2083 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville 08648; 609896-5152; fax, 609-8965255.

He came here about 10 years ago with “my two suitcases and pretty much nothing else,” and landed a tech job with Goldman Sachs. Five years ago he and Bhavana married, and twoand-a-half years ago they had their first of two daughters. The second was born in February, and the family lives in East Windsor. Though life here has been good for Kasarabada, he felt the desire to go back to school. In 2004 he did what most people do — he started thinking about it in earnest, from his couch. He did some Internet research on MBA programs in the state, but that didn’t give him much and he spent the next couple years in an on again-off again flirtation with the idea. When Kasarabada started looking seriously at MBA programs he at first did it online and quickly moved into the real world. Schools everywhere have open houses, liaisons, even whole departments dedicated to getting prospective students the information they need on programs. “Talk to them,” he says. “You can’t make an informed decision from your couch.” In 2007 he got his plan together and started his program at Rutgers in New Brunswick, part-time. All together, the degree will cost about $55,000, so he advises being aware of the time and cost of attaining an MBA. But if you can get the money, do it, and if you have good support on the home front, take it. His wife has inherited most of the responsibilities for the children and general household needs while he’s been in school, but Kasarabada says it’s been no issue. “She’s better when busy,” he says. Kasarabada is plenty busy himself. His schedule changes from semester to semester, but he has gone at least twice a week in the evenings since he started. Twice a week leaves the house at 8 a.m. and doesn’t get home until 10 p.m. At least he has company, though. “The MBA is always pretty intensive as far as group participation,” he says. “Most classes have group presentations and projects that involve interaction outside the classroom. Some times conference calls and E-mails suffice, but most times we meetup during the library and campus hours during the semester. Once even in each others homes.” WEST WINDSOR - 950-10,800 SF Office / R&D / Warehouse • Immediate Occupancy • Flexible Lease Terms • Ample parking • Walk to restaurants • Expansion potential William Barish [email protected] 609-921-8844 www.cpnrealestate.com ★ Commercial Property Network, Inc.

It is not cheap — Rider’s EMBA is $55,000, a standard price for an advanced degree. And it is not for the timid — you will be in the program with about 24 other people who will push you. The EMBA at Rider began in 2005, graduating its first class in 2007. The fifth iteration of the program starts this Friday, August 13. Rider has had a general MBA program for years, but a more tailored program was suggested by Rider president Mordechai Rosanski as a way to capitalize on the Princeton area’s pharma and tech sectors. The program operates like a business. The classes take place in a conference room and thrust students into real-world-style situations. There is even an international trip included in the price. overall sectors of business knowledge: management, integrated business, strategic management, and “advanced topics,” which include IT management, corporate performance evaluation, governance, and product development. The program is built specifically for working executives, which is why all classes happen on Saturday. “These are people who can learn something on Saturday and apply it Monday,” Benchener says. As for the people who enter the program, Benchener says he has found three major types — those who majored in something without a business background, from English majors to Ph.D. scientists who now have to manage people and have no experience; those who specialize in one area but want to broaden their knowledge base; and, most commonly, those who look at themselves and realize “everyone above me has an advanced degree, and if I want to move up, I need one too.” For more information, contact the Rider Office of Graduate Admission at 609-896-5036. Kasarabada’s expects to finish by the end of December. And even before he’s done, he can tell he’s a different person. His degree path has made him more confident, more aware, and more able to find the balance his lifestyle requires. Balancing work, family, and school, he says, takes organization, time management, and family support. It also takes the discipline to shut out distractions. Kasarabada has been TV-free since he started his MBA, and he doesn’t miss it. “I’m in 2007 where the movies are concerned,” he says. The other side of this is managing the expectations of your family. Kasarabada has a large family, which means there is always another birthday, another anniversary. “You can’t attend every party,” he says. “You need to inform people of your restrictions.” And something he learned from saying no is that people actually understand. In other words, pick your battles. Know when it’s time to devote your energies to school, to work, and to life. And the easiest way to do that, he says, is to pay attention to which one needs you the most at any one time. “You need to realize that you will never get 100 percent out of all three areas at the same time,” he says. “You can’t be perfect every day, but over time it works out.” Kasarabada advises that you be realistic about what you can get done. “At the end of the day, the most important things get done,” he says. Small, unimportant things get taken off the list or just shoved back. And if they get to be important, they get done. Kasarabada also advises doing taking some sort of action, even minor action, if you are looking to do anything. If you want to go for an MBA, have a family, buy a house, or whatever, there is never an ideal time, so stop looking for one. “Excuses are easy,” he says. So just keep going, in small steps, if necessary. The application procedess itself can take a long time, Kasarabada says, particularly if you need to take a GRE test. If you do a little bit now and a little bit every day, in three years you will be three years better off than you would be had you just stayed on the couch. One way or another you’ll be three years older. “It’s better to get started than to never do,” he says. Rutgers Business School — Newark and New Brunswick , 94 Rockafeller Road, Janice H.

Immediate occupancy. Life in the Fast Lane A Edited by Scott Morgan t long last, there are a few nice words being said about New Jersey’s industrial real estate market. The market that has struggled with high vacancy rates over the past 18 months has, according to the latest report by Edison-based realty firm Cushman & Wakefield, showed renewed progress in the first half of 2010. Whether the shift can be traced to more realistic landlord expectations, the state’s generally solid commercial core, or anything else is not yet known. What is encouraging, according to the report, is that central New Jersey recorded 3.5 million square feet of new industrial lease deals — roughly equivalent to the numbers from one year prior — so far this year. That’s encouraging because before this latest look at the industrial submarket, each quarterly look over since the end of 2008 have shown declining occupancy. Cushman & Wakefield’s industrial brokers closed 1.1 million square feet of new industrial leases around the state this year, the largest in the central New Jersey market being Suite K Value Added Services Inc.’s 178,502-squarefoot lease at 120 Herrod Boulevard in South Brunswick. All is not glitter for central New Jersey, however. The Exit 7A submarket, the industrial and warehouse cluster surrounding the New Jersey Turnpike exit in Hamilton, near Robbinsville, remains badly wounded. A recent snapshot of the submarket by the Wall Street Journal highlights a 905,000-squarefoot warehouse in Robbinsville that has sat dormant since October, 2007, when Principal Global In- Sunnier Skies Ahead?: Now that University Square at Route 1 and Alexander Road is occupied there are no major empty office buildings in Princeton.

A building frenzy last decade attempted to cash in on a boom of warehouse activity here, leaving a glut of space no one wants now that the market has bellied up. The boom-to-bust event echoes what happened to Princeton’s office market in the early 1990s, when development outpaced occupancy and developers were left with a sea of empty offices and buildings up and down Route 1. According to the Wall Street Journal and real estate data firm CoStar Group Inc., a full 48 percent of the 7.2 million square feet of warehouse space near Exit 7A is vacant, with an average three-year down time.

CB Richard Ellis, a commercial real estate firm with several offices in the state, including one at 700 Alexander Park, has found that the Exit 8A submarket in Cranbury is 17-percent vacant. Believe it or not, this is good news, considering that several reports from the end of 2009 listed a roughly 20-percent vacancy rate here. The key to the industrial market’s slow recovery has been euphemistically called “flexibility” in regards to landlords and rents. What that means is that landlords, though notoriously mum on what their commercial rents are these days, have had to offer incentives such as low rent and increased services in order to stay afloat. “In this climate, industrial property owners and their brokers really need to be aggressive to get deals done,” says Stan Danzig, executive director at Cushman & Wakefield’s East Rutherford office. “We all have become more creative, more responsive and more realistic. This approach is paying off, because more deals are beginning to come together.” According to Cushman & Wakefield’s report, landlords are asking an average rental rate of $5.92 per square foot for New Jersey industrial product. This is 54 cents less per square foot since last summer, but only 10 cents per square foot less than first-quarter 2010 averages. The overall vacancy rate is about 11 percent, half a percentage point higher than the national warehouse vacancy average. New Jersey’s industrial footprint is bigbox distribution, and as retail ebbs and flows back toward normalcy, central New Jersey is expected to reap the benefits.

While a quarter percent might not sound like growth, it at least is not recession, and now that compa- AUGUST 11, 2010 nies have settled after a period of shedding excess office space in the recession’s wake, the market is holding steady. This is not to suggest that all is rosy. the service business sector, particularly financial, has left gouges in the Princeton-area office market. Bank of America shed 35,000 square feet of office space when it downsized last year; and even though Blackrock is planning to move from Scudders Mill Road in Plainsboro to University Square at Route 1 and Alexander Road (rather than to Philadelphia, which was a strong possibility for a while), it will lose roughly half its office footprint here and leave open 350,000 square feet at its Plainsboro building, where it is the only tenant. The pharmaceutical industry’s seismic shifts also have had their effects in the past year. Pfizer’s blockbuster buy-up of Wyeth and its subsequent departure from South Brunswick — not to mention the exodus of Pfizer-owned Fort Dodge Animal Health from Monmouth Junction — has left a question mark on more than 400,000 square feet of office space. Bristol-Myers Squibb’s downsizing has left nearly 150,000 square feet up in the air at Nassau Park and in Montgomery. However, the eventual move of Otsuka to University Square does add 100,000 square feet of occupancy back to the rolls, and Integra LifeSciences has added at 21,000square-foot office area at 103 Morgan Lane, according to Fennelly. Gerard Fennelly says the vacancy rate of the Princeton office market has been higher than 21 percent for four-and-a-half-years, due to limited development. Corporations have been placing inventory on the market for the last 30 months as developers waiting for lending markets to open. And while overall rents have by an average of 5 to 10 percent in that time (particularly in Class B and C properties) landlords have been able to maintain a steady, if not great market. Some general findings from the Fennelly report: Route 1. The vacancy rate here is 16.82 percent, down 1 percent from same time last year. Rents have dropped 5 to 10 percent on average, ranging from $19 to $32.50 per square foot. Downtown Princeton. Venture capitalists, hedge fund investors, smaller law firms, and Princeton University have made the downtown market steady and uncommonly strong. Retail and office sales prices have surpassed $450 per square foot in a market enjoying a mere 7.7 percent vacancy rate. Average rents range from $20 to $42 per square foot. Route 206. High traffic and a 2009 lease by Johnson & Johnson that adds 200,000 square feet of occupied office space to 23 Orchard Road has kept this submarket strong. Average rents range from $17 to $22.50 per square foot. Ewing and Lawrenceville. The vacancy rate has risen moderately, to 25.18 percent, due to corporate shrinking (such as Bank of America’s 350,000 square feet of space on Scotch Road). Rents average $14 to $27 per square foot. Cranbury. Like the industrial market near Exit 8A, Cranbury’s office market remains badly hurt by the recession and the exodus of companies who had just recently clamored to do business here. The vacancy rate is nearly 28 percent, as it has been for about three years, with most of this vacancy in space 41 caused by the evaporated lab market. Hope, however, exists at 1249 Cranbury South River Road, where 100,000 square feet of lab space is now available. Biotech companies, associations, sales offices, medical practices, and company headquarters could benefit from this location, as well as average rents of $17.50 to $25 per square foot. Hamilton/Routes 195 & 130. Vacancy rates have dropped below 17 percent. Average rents range from $17 to $22 per square foot. Retail Space The vacancy rate along central New Jersey’s four largest shopping corridors escalated for the fourth consecutive year and now is nearly 10 percent, due to numerous store closures along Route 35 in the north, according to a recent report by R.J. Brunelli, a commercial real estate firm based in Old Bridge. However, the Route 1 market has tempered these effects, as retail remains steady (if suffering) in the Princeton-to-New Brunswick corridor. Although it continues to be hamstrung by a large number of dark big-boxes, the 30-mile section stretching from Woodbridge to Trenton has seen vacancy rates drop from 9.5 percent to 9.4 percent from a year ago, according to the report. While steady (and one of the few retail areas not to see a rise in vacancy in the past year or so) this same stretch at the beginning of last decade was less than 2 percent vacant. According to the report, the decline in vacancies was fueled by Continued on following page WINDSOR INDUSTRIAL PARK OFFERS AN UNPARALLELED CENTRAL NEW JERSEY LOCATION!

Seacastle Gets a New Name Seacastle Chassis, the company founded as Interpool, and broker for intermodal shipping equipment, has changed its name to Trac Intermodal. According to the company, the change is designed to better reflect its position as a provider of land and sea chassis operating systems.The company’s operations include long-term leasing, short-term rentals through neutral pool and fleet management through the company’s proprietary PoolStat system. According to president and COO Steve Rubin, right, the chassis market is facing new dynamics as an outcrop of recent federal regulatory updates. The national “roadability” law, which requires chassis operators to have a highly detailed maintenance and recordkeeping program, is requiring shippers to upgrade the way they operate the business end, and in the wake of the global recession, several steamship lines have ceased providing chassis as a costincluded service to their customers. Rubin says that while the new dynamic is undoubtedly going to make business more uncertain, Trac is “extremely well-positioned to support our customers’ needs - after all, the chassis is one of the necessary components of the container trade.” Rubin, a New Jersey native, grew up in Randolph, near Morristown. His father worked for the Department of Defense and his mother worked for the state DOT. He graduated from Penn in 1984 with a dual bachelor’s in history and economics and later earned his MBA from New York Univer- sity before beginning his career in education overseas. Rubin taught English in Japan, which in the 1980s was the apparent next dominant economic power . Always with a head for business, Rubin wanted to understand the Japanese culture and be part of its economic renaissance. Rubin got his MBA and landed an accounting job with KPGM in New York. He then moved onto KLine North America, a national trucking company, where he served as vice president of liner operations. At a Wall Street transportation conference Rubin met a man from Fortress, the investment group that facilitated the deal with Carlisle and Interpool, which eventually became Seacastle. Trac Intermodal’s fleet consists of approximately 245,000 chassis and containers in North America. – Scott Morgan Trac Intermodal, 211 College Road East, Princeton 08540; 609-452-8900; fax, 609-4528211.

Continued on page 46 AUGUST 11, 2010 U.S. 1 45 46 U.S. 1 AUGUST 11, 2010 O Purchasing a home or refinancing an existing mortgage? ell, some folks down in West Windsor might argue the point. The volunteer West Windsor Arts Council has made a name for itself in the last half dozen years by sponsoring scores of events in public and semi-public places such as the Nassau Park Pavilion, the train station parking lot that houses the popular farmers’ market on Saturday mornings, and even a mailing company’s warehouse space on Alexander Road. Now it is on the verge of taking occupancy of its own home, in the old Princeton Junction Fire House on Alexander Road. The 1931 building gave way to a new firehouse years ago, and the township decided that a modest renovation — costing about $1 million with the Arts Council raising $300,000 and the township chipping in $800,000 — would help jumpstart the Arts Council’s second phase. But not everyone is happy. Recent articles detailing the terms of the Arts Council’s sweetheart lease — from $250 a month initially increasing gradually to $845 a month — have drawn the ire of some township taxpayers. The comments section at the community newspaper’s website, wwpinfo.com, have included various rants: “If the arts people are so passionate about their work, raise your own funds but don’t put the burden on us. Our taxes are high enough without ongoing money going toward your work. West Windsor is too small to support every interest group. Other groups will whine just like you and want this, that, and the other. Taxes just continue to soar and you all keep nagging for more.” One post referred to the new facility, which has not yet even opened its doors, as the “failed arts center.” The rationale: “People spending our tax money are completely clueless about business. The arts council will be struggling for years without making a dime of profit. Yet millions of taxpayer money will be used to support the 13 people in this town who want to keep the doors open. When this arts center fails they will be amazed of how it could have happened. “Everyone do the town and yourself all a favor. Don’t put anymore money into this bad idea. Energy and resources will fizzle over a few years. More wasted money you may as well just burn.” I know some of the people posting these objections, and — having just received my new and astronomically greater property tax bill in Princeton Borough — can feel their pain. No, government cannot provide all things to all people. But it can give a boost to an endeavor that has already demonstrated a high level of grassroots support. See for yourself. The West Windsor Arts Council sponsors another concert in its Nassau Park music series on Saturday, August 21, at 6 p.m. with the Jazz Lobsters. (It will be inside at Panera Bread if it rains, and a reception at BoConcept will follow the concert.) And on Saturday, September 25, the Arts Council finally moves into its new home on Alexander Road with a block party featuring an art exhibit, strolling musicians, a ribbon dance, a drum circle, hands on art activities, tours of the building, and sample workshops. Will the taxpayer investment, as minimal as it has been, pay off? I’ve got a blue heron up on Wrighter Lake that says yes.

SOL An independently owned and operated member www.princetonmercerhomes.com of The Prudential Real Estate Affiliates, Inc. 253 Nassau Street • Princeton Richard K. Rein n Saturday evening, August 7, you might have been one of the folks enjoying the gospel music concert sponsored by the West Windsor Arts Council at the outdoor pavilion at the massive Nassau Park Shopping Center on busy Route 1 — an unexpected venue for a music concert but a welcome change of pace, I am sure, for many weary shoppers. Or — even more improbably — you might have been in a canoe or a kayak or a motorboat in front of the O’Neils’ cottage on Wrighter Lake in northeastern Pennsylvania, enjoying a “sunset concert” with a flutist, violinist, and cellist performing on the dock looking out on the lake where my family has had a cottage for almost 50 years. Either way, you might have pinched yourself, looked at the bright blue skies up above, and said, “Wow, it doesn’t get much better than this!” At Wrighter Lake, where I was ending a one-week sojourn away from bustling Route 1, the sunset concert was the brainstorm of Joan and Roger O’Neil, an American couple now living in England but still maintaining their small summer cottage on the lake near where 90th anniversary Mortgage Rates LOWEST inDecades! Quick Response Q Low Rates Q Pre-Approvals Q Call us today! [email protected] Roger grew up. They had guessed that — with weather cooperating — the calm lake surface in the early evening would turn their dock into a stage looking out on vast auditorium. And they wanted to encourage the arts community in this slightly out of the way corner of the world. On top of that, I suspect, they may have wanted to substitute — for an hour or so — the roar of Unexpected arts events in unusual venues: Will the West Windsor Arts Council get a blue heron’s seal of approval? motorboats and jet skis with the strains of the strings and flute. The weather cooperated. On a perfectly still evening the motorboats retreated and a flotilla of 20 or 30 small boats gathered in front of the O’Neils’dock. Another 20 or 30 people gathered on the lawn of the cottage. Midway through the concert, somewhere between “Belle of the Ball” and “Blue Tango,” pieces by Leroy Anderson, another guest arrived: a three-foot tall blue heron glided over the still water and up to the shore. It poked along the shoreline, obviously looking for an evening snack, and casually climbed up onto the dock and over to the other side. The trio played on. Shortly after the second Anderson piece someone in the audience yelled out, “The blue heron likes the Blue Tango.” The heron mosied on and eventually took flight, its four or five-foot wing span quietly propelling itself to the other side of the lake. An unexpected guest at this unusual event. Up on Wrighter Lake the value of a cottage may or may not have gone up a little after that concert, but the value of just being there certainly increased. Who would argue with that? W Continued from page 44 ANIMALS Dog Walking: Working late? Leave the walking to us.
