ationally over the last 25
years most new homes have been
built as part of a community association, either in the form of a condo
or a homeowners association, says
Christopher Florio, co-chair of
the community association group
at Stark & Stark and immediate
past president of the Community
Associations Institute of NJ.
Community associations have
advantages for homeowners and
for the towns and cities where they
are built. Local jurisdictions profit
from the ratables generated by
these associations without having
to provide as extensive an infrastructure as they would for individual homes.
Municipalities are generally responsible for roadway systems in a
neighborhood, fire hydrants that
abut them, and underground water
and sewage pipes. In a community
association, however, where roads
are private, the association pays for
and maintains this infrastructure.
If the association has a condominium form of ownership, it is also responsible for repairs and
maintenance of any item classified
as a “common element” — detention basins, playgrounds, etc. The
funds for this come from maintenance fees paid by association
members, generally monthly.
Florio will present “Community
Rule Book — Avoiding Fouls and
Costly Penalties” at the annual
CAI-NJ Conference and Expo of
the New Jersey chapter of the
Community Associations Institute
(CAI-NJ) on Saturday, October 22.
The conference runs from 7:45
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the New Jersey
Convention & Expo Center in Edison. Other panel members include

Community associations are little corporations, formed under Title 15 of New Jersey’s Nonprofit
Corporation Act. Florio describes
some of the issues faced by community associations for which he
provides guidance and, if necessary, representation in court:
Noise. Sometimes community
associations include high-rise
buildings, where people live in
very close quarters. Florio suggests it is difficult to regulate noise
(and odors as well) because the issue is subjective. “At 3 a.m. a loud
stereo is a problem, but what about
Condo associations

9 p.m.?” says Florio. Perception of
the noise is at issue since one person’s hearing may be better than
another’s. To raise the issue at all, a
resident may need to have the noise
independently corroborated by the
manager or someone else.
In cases like these, whether between two homeowners or between a homeowner and the association, New Jersey law requires an
alternative dispute resolution,
where the association puts together
a panel to hear the complaint. Typically an appointed mediator or a
committee of community members
will hear the alternative dispute
resolution.
“It’s almost like an informal trial,” says Florio. One resident
brings a complaint, the other a defense. The panel tries to mediate
and come to a conclusion. If either
party is not happy, it can appeal to
the elected board. “We try to keep it
within the association,” says Florio. “We are a private entity but almost like a mini-municipality.”
Age limits. Many communities
across the country are age-restricted, usually to people 55 and older.
But a variety of situations can lead
to younger people turning up in
these developments, for longer or
shorter stays. In today’s souring
economy, children may come back
to live with their parents — with
wife and baby in tow. Or a 30something grandchild may need a
temporary place to live. Or a caregiver may move in (although some
associations explicitly allow caregivers). Or suppose a 60-year-oldwoman who is married to a 40year-old man dies.
OCTOBER 19, 2011
New Tech Hub?: Mike Kerwin says Somerset County is
poised to be New Jersey’s
next big business destination.
The problem for an association is that if it
chooses not to enforce the age limit in too
many exceptional cases, a judge may ultimately rule that, by doing so, it has lost the
ability to legally discriminate. “You never
know at what time you will lose the right to
enforce,” says Florio. As a result, associations
are treading on a thin line between being attentive to the needs of residents and protecting their own identities.
So, what to do? Although associations may
ultimately allow such setups for a temporary
period, at the same time they may need to
press such persons to specify exactly how
long they plan to stay. Says Florio: “Some
rules may be hard and fast, but when you’re
out in the world, they’re not, because you are
dealing with people’s lives.”
Service animals. Sometimes associations
have governing documents specifying that
absolutely no animals are allowed in the community. For the most part, Florio says, this
rule is enforceable, but if someone is blind
and needs a service dog, federal law gives
them the right to have one. In this case, his job
is to help the association’s board understand
that they have to allow the service dog.
Florio grew up in Somerville, where he
graduated from Immaculata High School. His
father was a marketing executive for RCA,
which then became General Electric, and finally Harris Semiconductors. His mother became a dental assistant when Florio was in
high school. He graduated in 1982 from Fairleigh Dickinson University with a bachelor’s
in finance, and in 1988 he graduated from Seton Hall University School of Law.
He started his work with community associations in 1993 when, by happenstance, a
condo association with a tax appeal issue
came to Stark & Stark and then invited the
firm to stay on as general counsel. Today the
firm has nine lawyers who work only on 250
community association clients that include
U.S. 1

Ease
condos, co-ops, and homeowners’ associations.
Florio has also been active in the Community Associations Institute of New Jersey
where, after a year as president, he is now
back on its legislative action committee,
which is heavily involved in state government.
Florio’s job is to keep the whole picture in
mind as he tries to advise his clients. He may
have to gently explain to the board that, although it does not want to do something, the
law may require it. Or he may just have to
come up with a pragmatic solution for a problem. “We’re trying to help our clients see over
the horizon,” he says. — Michele Alperin

County Business Partnership. While many

I am a NJ contractor and am being sued
by a homeowner who is unhappy with the work
I performed and claims I deceived him. I think I did
a good job and I never deceived the homeowner.
Is there a chance I will lose this case?
Unfortunately, yes. The homeowner does not need
to prove that you intended to deceive him. Under the
Consumer Fraud Act, a contractor can be liable for making
a misrepresentation without knowing that the representation
was false when made. However, not every breach
of contract constitutes consumer fraud. Therefore, we recommend that you
contact our office at 609-392-7600 to discuss the facts of your case further
to explore all defenses available to you.
I am a general contractor who works with homeowners on home
improvement projects. I always have the homeowner sign a contract.
However, the homeowner frequently makes changes to the work.
What type of information should I include in a change order to protect myself?
As a contractor, you want to make sure that all change orders are signed
by both parties and state the scope of work, start and completion dates,
and cost for the work to be performed.
Please email any questions you may have to [email protected].

good sign the long-awaited recovery is happening:
businesses are spending
again on marketing and related
collateral, necessitating Document Depot's move to a bigger
space right around the corner.
Document Depot's new home
is 101 Main St. in the bustling
Princeton Forrestal Village. It will
provide room for the company's
growing staff, which means even
better customer service.
"We're very busy," said owner
Ed Keenan. "We've added staff,
and sales are up a good 30 to 40
percent over last year. Businesses have decided the worst is over
and are investing in marketing
once again."
Keenan dubs Document Depot as a "street level business."
He says he sees the signs of recovery earlier than most because
of increased spending on business cards, brochures, mailers,
posters and trade show items.
"One of the reasons people
come to Document Depot is our
digital printing expertise," he
added. "We've been primarily
printing digitally for 13 years, offering our customers short-run
printing at a lower price point
than they'd get with offset. The
quality is great, thanks to our sophisticated equipment."
Keenan says the high-quality
work coming off digital equipment rivals offset printing. The
bonus is Document Depot can
produce impressive pieces in the
exact quantities the customer
needs in a very short timeframe
at a competitive price.
"The finishing equipment also
makes quite a difference," he
noted. "We've been doing a lot of
spiral-bound books lately, from
textbooks to yearbooks, directories to offering statements, and
full-color, multi-page presentation work."
Document Depot's versatile
equipment enables the company
to produce virtually anything digitally, from business cards to
mounted posters, while saving
the customer time and money.
It's a win-win.
Another thing that sets Document Depot apart from others is
its commitment to helping customers maintain their corporate
identities. Helping advance the
brand is key to Document Depot
and its dedicated graphic arts
staff.
"What sets us apart from national or online 'competitors' is
our service," Keenan added.
"And yet, we can print low quantities of full color business cards at
amazing prices. Plus, we don't
penalize you by imprinting our logo on your cards."
Document Depot is a leading
digital printing, design and document processing firm with more
than 13 years of experience in
processing, printing and designing digital graphics and short-run
printing projects for leading organizations. Its success is based
on its ability to listen and respond
to the needs of its customers with
a combination of personalized
service, teamwork and advanced
technology. Document Depot offers the latest equipment and
software, expertise, and commitment to customer service that differentiates Document Depot
from the competition.

lenge that statement, Kerwin
makes a pretty good case for it.
Somerset County is home to at
least a dozen major corporations,
and they are not all pharma-related.
MetLife, Chubb, Verizon, and ATT
all have facilities in Somerset
County along with pharmaceutical
giants Johnson & Johnson and
Pfizer.
Kerwin will be the guest speaker at the Montgomery Township
Economic Development Commission’s annual fall business networking forum, Tuesday, October
25, at 6 p.m. at Tusk Restaurant on
Route 206 South in Montgomery.
The event is free to attend. Call
609-216-3123
The SCBP, in conjunction with
the county’s Board of Freeholders,
recently sponsored a long-term
economic development plan and
feasibility analysis to look at the
potential for economic growth in
the county. “We reached out to the
private sector to tell us what they
needed. It’s been a unique opportunity for the private sector to meet
and discuss their needs with the
public sector,” Kerwin says.
Kerwin comes to the partnership
with a background in business.
Though he does not have a degree
in architecture, he is a former president of SSP Architectural Group,
the longest-operating architectural
firm in New Jersey. He received a
bachelor’s in psychology and government from Georgetown University in 1975 and a law degree from
Villanova in 1978. “You might
think I’m not using my degrees,”
he says, “but I find my background
in psychology helps me every day
in the business world.”
Kerwin has been involved in the
SCBP since its inception. He
helped to manage the merger of
several independent organizations
including the Somerset County
Chamber of Commerce, Coalition
for Smart Growth, and the Somerset Alliance for the Future.
Kerwin also has held office in

Emerging industries. The
“Emerging Industry Campaign” is
designed to “ensure Somerset
County’s role in capital formation
and job generation of industries
driving the next wave of growth,”
says Kerwin. It will also create
economic diversity in the county
— an important aspect of the program, because diversity is one of
the best hedges against unemployment.

ing on global business dynamics,
rather than narrower, more localized businesses, makes it easier for
an area to weather economic
downturns. This approach “will ultimately strengthen the local tax
base and keep taxes down for county residents,” he adds.
The six major industries Emerging Industries identified were
biotech, IT, nanotechnology,
geospatial technology (the discipline of gathering, storing, processing, and delivering geographic
information for everything from
urban planning to disaster response), laser applications, and alternative energy. Somerset County
will focus on nanotechnology,
geospatial technology, and bioinformatics, which is the application
of computer science and information technology to biology and
medicine, Kerwin says.
“We need to foster a critical
mass in industries of the future to
make it easier to recruit companies
in these targeted sectors,” he says.
“Focusing on economic sectors
that typically serve national and
global markets, as opposed to local
markets, which have the least employment multiplier effect, will
help to increase Somerset County’s
potential for employment and future growth.” Kerwin also says it is
important to concentrate on broad
industry sectors, rather than on
smaller subsectors.
Infrastructure needs. To attract new industries to a county, the
area must have sufficient infrastructure. For this reason Emerging
Industries focused on areas that
need strengthening — transportation and waste water treatment.
“There is increasing traffic congestion in the county and if we are to
grow, we must address this problem,” Kerwin says.
In addition, Emerging Industries’report suggests the county develop a life sciences center and
technology incubator. The center
would be oriented toward the selected emerging industries and
could be a joint venture between a
private developer, the business
partnership, and area colleges.
Other needs. Accessibility to

venture capital is always an important component in attracting new
industry. “We need to develop a
strong and reliable angel venture
capital network,” Kerwin says.
There must also be a campaign to
brand and market Somerset County “as a developing player and ultimately the leader” in the three selected emerging industries.
The result of the original study
on economic growth in the county
has been an application for a SEDS
(Social and Economic Development Strategies) grant from the
federal government. Kerwin is optimistic about the county’s chances
to obtain the grant. “This has been
a unique partnership between the
public and the private sectors,” he
says. “It is not often that business
people and corporate executives
have the opportunity to work this
closely on planning with people
from the public sector.”

WHY RENT BUY WHEN YOU CAN BUY RENT?
C
onventional wisdom
suggests that buying a house is always better than renting one. That
in the long run, owning is a wise investment because it will leave you
with a commodity to grow, appreciate, and sell.
But these, of course, are not conventional times. Mortgages are
hard to come by. Housing prices
have at best stalled and at worst
dropped. The number of houses
bought and sold is higher than it
was a year and two years ago, but
not at all where it was five or six
years ago. And there is no guarantee that you will be able to sell your
house for what it’s worth, much
less what you’re asking.
When it comes to Princeton the
old maxim “Why rent when you
can buy?” bears a closer look. Low
interest rates aside, banks are
stingy about granting mortgages.
Combined with Princeton’s high
(even for New Jersey) property
taxes, potential buyers might ask:
why buy when you can rent?
At first blush, renting looks to be
the cheaper option when considering houses. Consider the house at
51 Cleveland Lane, which is listed
by Susan Gordon and Ingela
Kostenbader of Coldwell Banker.
The house, which features six bedrooms and 3.5 baths on nearly a
half-acre, is for sale ($1.795 million) or rent ($7,000 per month).
To buy this property would require monthly payments of nearly
$11,700, based on a 30-year mortgage with a 6-percent interest rate,
20 percent down, and annual property taxes of $33,551. Per-month,
the difference is close to $5,000.
by Scott Morgan
Yet in a place like Princeton
Borough’s western end, such numbers can be deceiving. In the
wealthiest part of town, Gordon
says, there are usually no large
mortgages. Someone with the
At least in the short
term, renting a home
offers some serious
savings over buying
(and its commensurate responsibilities).
And it can be a bargaining chip for buyers seeking a better
price on a purchase.
money to buy a $1.795 million
house in this end of town usually
has enough money to put down
more than 20 percent (which would
leave a buyer with a $1.436 million
mortgage loan). So the odds are
that the buyer of a home like the
one at 51 Cleveland Lane would
not be in a position to have to fork
over $11,000 a month for the next
30 years.
Renting rather than buying
might have little to do with the simple act of saving money month to
month. Gordon says a large number of renters in Princeton are new
to the area, yet still have ties to
where they came from. “They’re
people moving in from wherever
who haven’t sold their homes,” she
says. So while they await the fates

of their houses in California or
Michigan they rent here, with the
intention to buy once things are settled elsewhere.
Another group that often has the
money to buy but chooses to rent is
the pre-retiree, Gordon says. These
are professionals nearing the ends
of their careers who have downsized now that the kids are gone
and in anticipation of less money
coming in. But since their lives
have too many variables — will we
stay here or move to a less expensive area? How much space will we
need? — they do not want to commit to buying a home just now.
Marty Stockton, president of
Stockton Realty at 32 Chambers
Street, sees still another motivation
for renting in today’s market — the
bargaining chip. “People trying to
get a bargain are waiting sellers
out,” Stockton says. Potential buyers know what they want to pay,
and if a seller doesn’t come down
to meet the price, the buyers walk
away. Renting now — when rents
have increased to the point that
they are not always far off the cost
of buying, month to month — allows buyers to sit tight until they
get the prices they are after.
A
lot of this has to do with
post-crash reticence to overspend
on anything, Stockton says. Buyers
do not want to pay a dime more
than they are comfortable paying.
It also has a lot to do with the new
world of mortgage loans. A lot of
people who traditionally would
have been able to get mortgages
and become true buyers are caught
Highest of the High-End: Princeton’s high-end
real estate market is not just about sales. A growing trend is to offer houses for sale and for rent,
even in the multimillion-dollar range. The Pretty
Brook House, at 300 Pretty Brook Road, is for
sale at $9.75 million and for rent at $21,000 a
month. If the market doesn’t change, renting
makes sense in the long run. If it does change,
renters could miss out on a fortune.
in the quicksand that is the lending
process. “Mortgages are tight —
and they should be tight,” Stockton
says. “You want to make sure the
people buying homes are qualified.
The sale market needed a correction. But I don’t know if it needed
such a correction.”
Among renters Stockton sees a
difference in the generations when
it comes to their lease commitments. “The old school would sign
a lease and be obligated to it,” she
says. “Now they’re signing a lease
and saying ‘I can get out of that.’”
Stockton says she recently

“took the leasing process very seriously. The younger buyers, though,
are very cavalier.”
Savvy younger buyers are using
their ability to rent not just to wait
out a better price, but to low-ball
sellers, she says. As a result, a lot of
people she feels should have sold a
year ago are experiencing sticker
shock when they hear the offers
they are getting.
The traditional appeal of renting
is flexibility and freedom from responsibility. When you rent, you’re
not on the hook for nearly as much

neighborhood turns bad
for you, it is easier to
leave a rental than to sell
a house. Renter’s insurance is cheaper than
homeowner’s insurance,
and as a renter you do not
have to worry about doing or paying for major
repairs.
The traditional counter-argument to renting is
that in the long run buying is cheaper than renting. And often it is. But
the definition of “long
run” changes depending
on how much a house is
listed for, the size of the
down payment, property
taxes, and the asking
rent.
In May the New York
Times posted an online real estate
calculator that uses cost inflation
estimates to project how much
money someone will save year-byyear by buying or renting over 30
years.
At its most basic, the calculator
considers monthly rents versus the
home price, a down payment, the
mortgage rate, and annual property
taxes. It projects a 2 percent home
value increase and a 3 percent
rental value increase by default,
though the rates and values can all
be customized. It also factors in the
return of your investment if you
hold the money instead of using it
as the down payment on a house.
Filling in the numbers for 51
Cleveland Lane shows that renting
is indeed a cheaper option for 29
years, when factoring in a 20 percent downpayment. At the 30-year
mark, the difference between buying and renting is $1 for the renter.
At the extreme end of the residential/rental spectrum is the six
bedroom, 22-acre Pretty Brook
House at 300 Pretty Brook Road.
This property, which features a
wine cellar, in-ground pool, fivecar garage, and its own movie theater room, is for sale by Henderson
Sotheby’s International Real Estate for $9.75 million, with property taxes totaling $156,205 a year.
The Pretty Brook House, listed
by Judson Henderson, is also available for rent — $21,000 a month.
Henderson says the rental option
came this summer as a way to increase interest in the property,
which has been for sale for a few
years now. Originally listed at
$14.5 million, the house got few
nibbles until it came down below
the $10 million mark. Henderson
says there is currently some interest from potential renters and buyers.
If you were to plug in Pretty
Brook’s numbers to the New York
Times’ calculator (factoring for a
20 percent downpayment) you
would save $13 million after 30
years over a buyer.
These numbers, however, do not
factor in the two-bedroom apartment that sits atop the garage at
Pretty Brook. If the owners were to
rent this apartment out, it would
likely offset a renter’s savings over
time. They also compare a 2 percent annual increase in sale prices
to a 3 percent annual increase in
rental rates. Were rental rates to increase at a faster rate than 3 percent
or home values to increase even 5
percent, buying would become
more economical in the long run.
And if the residential market does
bounce all the way back, the estate
you bought for less than $10 million might be worth $14 million.

Rent vs. Buy
And with that timeframe in mind, she
says, potential buyers do their own math and
often conclude that they do not have the financial depth to withstand such an investment. The days of buying a house to flip are
on hiatus.
T
his outlook has changed how people
view the value of houses, Needham says. She
recently read that while buyers used to view
homes primarily as an investment and secondarily as a place to live, the order has now
reversed — place to live first, investment
second.
Renting also has affected real estate
agents’ relationships with large companies.
Needham has worked with large firm such as
Firmenich and Bristol-Myers Squibb, which
historically have helped imported talent find
a place to live.
But since the sales market is now a sevento-ten-year market and many professionals
are brought in by companies for a three-tofive-year hitch, companies are seeing little
incentive to help employees settle into houses.
Needham says big corporations are still
offering financial perks to help transfers get
settled, but they no longer get involved in the
real estate transactions.
So while renting can be an effective tactic
for treading water, renting brings its own set
of questions with it. Rents, for example, have
risen in the choked real estate market, Gordon says. “Landlords aren’t stupid,” she
says. “They see the demand and they’ve
raised rents accordingly.”
When it was relatively easy to qualify for
mortgages and buy homes, Gordon says,
landlords had no bargaining chip of their
own. But as it has become more difficult to
buy, landlords have seized the opportunity to
charge premium rents, knowing that many
once-qualified buyers have little recourse.
Needham adds that she is expecting an increase in rental properties now that it is autumn and the houses that hit the market (but
never sold) in the spring and summer are facing a vacant winter.
More homeowners are opting to rent the
property in addition to its sale just to make
sure the house is occupied in the winter and
to make some money on a property that isn’t
moving.
Gordon expects things to change once the
mortgage market opens up again. She just
doesn’t know when that will be. But she is
confident enough in the market to know that
it will bounce back. And, she says, if you can
land a mortgage, now is a good time to get
one. Interest rates are low and sellers are
willing to negotiate.
“The market always bounces back,” says
Stockton. “This one’s just not bouncing back
quickly. I’ve been through six cycles of the
real estate market and this is by far the worst
one.”

Lace Silhouettes Lingerie: Finding The Perfect Fit
W
hen a woman enters
Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, she's not just a
shopper, she's a guest. Customer service has been at the
forefront of the store's philosophy since Karen Thompson
founded it in 1988. And its
Palmer Square shop has been
one of Princeton's best kept secrets for the past 11 years.
"We're very service-oriented
and understand people's needs,
and we try to match them to what
the industry makes," Thompson
says. To match customer demand with the latest lingerie
styles, employees make annual
trips to shows in New York.
These trips are just one aspect of the intense training Lace
Silhouettes' bra fitters receive.
"Staff go through many hours of
training, initially working with one
of our veteran bra fitters,"
Thompson says. "Some of our
fitters have been fitting for 20
years, and they'll be paired up
with someone new to the company."
Because of the emphasis on
training and customer satisfaction, you can expect thorough,
personal service from the moment you step into the store,
whether you're looking for one
specific bra or a whole new bra
wardrobe. You'll be expertly
measured and shown to a fitting
room, where bras to try on will be
brought to you.
Thompson takes pride in the
depth and breadth of experience
gained through 23 years in the
bra business. The benefits of
working with highly knowledgeable and experienced staff shine
through for women who discover
how much better they feel when
their bras are the proper sizes
and shapes for their body types.
Thompson suggests that
guests of the store take advantage of the free bra fittings Lace
Silhouettes offers. Guests can
make an appointment in advance or simply walk in to the
store. Depending on the type of
bra wardrobe you're looking to
develop, the fitting can take up to
an hour.
The hour is well worth it. "It's
very life changing for women, especially full-busted women,"
Thompson says. Once they've
been properly fitted, women tend
to be more confident because
Karen Thompson, owner,
Lace Silhouettes Lingerie
they're more comfortable and
look better.
"When they leave, their intention is to throw the bra drawer
out."

Review: ‘It Shoulda Been You’
T
he stereotypical image of
the over-bearing, impossible-toplease, emotionally crippling Jewish mother is not one that is easy to
erase from our mind, especially
considering the acerbic assault on
“her” this past week by playwright
Nicky Silver in his dark comedy
“The Lyons,” now playing in Manhattan. It is time this week, however,
to sing the praises of relatively new
musical theater collaborators Brian
Hargrove (book and lyrics, with additional lyrics by “others”) and Barbara Anselmi (music) who have put
a Jewish mother who is lovable despite her inevitable failings in the
center of a delightfully ebullient, often hilarious, new musical comedy
“It Shoulda Been You.”
And what is it that can bring out
the best and the worst in a Jewish
mother more than overseeing a family wedding? Tyne Daly, who just
concluded a successful run on
Broadway as diva Maria Callas in a
revival of Terrence McNally’s
“Master Class” and has mastered
many roles in her lauded career, is
sheer Jewish joy as Judy Steinberg,
the in-charge up-to-a-point mother
of the bride. In spite of the tumult
and turmoil that she has to contend
with before, during, and after the “I
do’s,” Judy is but one of the wonderful characters designated to make
this musical a resounding pleasure
from start to “Finale Ultimo.”
A splendid cast, under the
breezy and accomplished direction
of David Hyde Pierce (making his
directorial debut) is certainly
bringing out the very best in Hargrove’s laugh-a-minute script and
in the spirited, melodic score. You
can expect that the initial plot device, in which the impending nuptials between the Jewish bride, Rebecca (Jessica Hershberg), and the
Catholic groom, Brian (Matthew
Hydzik), will inspire some humor-
Our critic calls the
world premier of this
musical comedy
‘delightfully ebullient,
often hilarious.’
ously hostile bickering and bantering between Brian’s snooty, bigoted parents, Georgette (Harriet Harris), and George (Howard McGillin), and Rebecca’s parents,
Judy and Murray (Richard Kline).
It is when Rebecca’s ex-boyfriend, Marty (David Josefsberg),
shows up that the plot really begins
to percolate, and the most fun begins when the wedding participants have to deal with secret agendas and lies that are suddenly exposed in one of the funniest Act I
curtains I’ve ever seen. Act II, or
should I say the whole affair,
swings into high gear with a little
extra help from Noah Racey’s Jewish-wedding-ish choreography.
Each member of the top-drawer
cast is afforded room to shine as
well as being a part of the ensemble. Lisa Howard is terrific as Jenny, the musical’s central character.
She plays the bride’s overweight,
unmarried older sister who deals
rather commendably with her
mother’s insensitivity and her real
feelings about (sorry can’t say).
Howard, who won a Drama Desk
award for her performance in “The
25th Annual Putnam County
Spelling Bee,” has a powerful
voice and lets out her frustrations
and stops the show at the top of Act
II with the searing “Jenny’s
Blues.”
Harriet Harris, a Tony and Drama Desk award-winner for “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” has never
failed to give a spot-on comedic
performance. She is a hoot as the
over-sexed, mostly potted Georgette. She has the audience in
stitches as she glides across the
stage sitting on an upholstered
rolling chair singing of her mistakes in raising Brian. Is there any
actor in the world who can put on
those sublime airs of superiority
better than Edward Hibbert, who is
perfectly cast as Albert the wedding planner, a perfectionist whose
motto “I live to serve” is constantly
put to the challenge?
A
n excellent Richard Kline
more than meets the challenge of
being on stage with Daly, particularly when he says, “Your mother
and I had words, but I didn’t get to
use any of mine.” When it comes to
words, Daly has two marvelous
songs — “Nice” and “What They
Never Tell You” — to lyrically express her true feelings. McGillin
(best known for his record-setting
number of performances in the title
role of “The Phantom of the
Opera”) garners laughs with his
awkward moments with his son (“I
wanna be friends”) and has even

more with his bawdy moments
with Harris.
Tom Deckman gets a lot of comical mileage out of his doubling as
the wedding planner’s dubious
young nephew/assistant Walt and
as very old Uncle Morty. Also doubling for our pleasure is Mylinda
Hull as Mildred and Aunt Sheila.
Carla Duren is vivacious as bridesmaid Annie Sheps, and Curtis Holbrook is splendid at proving that
being the best man can have its
perks.
Set designer Anna Louizos’
tasteful unit setting evoking the
halls, doorways, and suites of a
posh New York Hotel is exactly the
right background for the eye-popping attire by William Ivey Long. A
quick look at the production credits, including those of outside producers Scott Landis, Michael
Hanel, and Daryl Roth, and you
can see that they are hoping for big
time with this show. Perhaps im-
portantly, this musical is distinguished by the impressive collaboration of Hargrove and Anselmi.
While Hargrove has extensive
TV credits, composer Anselmi
worked on “It Shoulda Been You”
as a member of the advanced BMI
Lehman Engel Musical Theater
Workshop. The score has its pop
resonances that also pay homage to
Broadway tradition. From what I
can recall, Hargrove’s lyrics (I was
laughing too hard to write any
down) are as clever and sharp as is
his script. Far be it from me to say
that “It Shoulda Been You” oughta
be on Broadway before Albert the
wedding planner, I mean Edward
Hibbert, is offered another catered
affair.

here’s nothing like a live performance,” says Mark Jones, who arrived as
CEO of New Brunswick’s State Theater in
January. He steers a theater with space for almost 2,000 that attracts audiences of various
ages interested in family fare or jazz or classical music or ethnic offerings or dance or
acrobatics or other enticements.
Jones brings a major innovation to the
State’s programming by drawing on high
definition technology. This season, the State
inaugurates HD showings of opera and ballet
programs from premiere venues thousands
of miles from central New Jersey.

in Millburn.
“There is no real secret to saving arts organizations,” Jones says. “The arts always
operate marginally. There is a thin margin
between success and failure. A miscalculation about sales or about cost overruns can be
disastrous.”
Essential to a successful arts organization,
he believes, are efficient management and financial discipline. He maintains a happy balance between short-term and long-term
goals. “A good organization wants to serve
audiences,” he says, “not to lay up cash for a
rainy day.”
Jones searches out mutually beneficial
collaborations with arts providers outside of
the organization he works for. The appearance of his office reflects the openness of his
approach. Uncurtained windows and ample
indirect lighting give an unencumbered feel
to the space. We sit comfortably in an area
with a traditional sofa and chairs, some distance from the desk. Against pale walls, the
color scheme of muted solid reds and blues
firmly whispers, “No nonsense.”
Someplace in the working parts of the
room must be a bulging contact list. Networking is a way of life for Jones. He has
reached out not only to Opera New Jersey’s
Russell for the HD series. Opera New Jersey
performances at the State Theater are on the
agenda.
Jones was involved in scheduling the
2011 commencement of Rutgers’ Mason
Gross School of the Arts at the State Theater.
“That permitted including performances as
part of the ceremony,” he says. He keeps an
eye on the newly funded Opera Institute at
Mason Gross and has talked with Mason
Gross’s Dean George Stauffer about presenting small operas on the Douglass College
Campus and large operas at the State Theater. He is attempting to coordinate performing arts schedules for the 2012-’13 season
with Mason Gross’s theater and dance departments. And he has talked with Suzanne
Delehanty, head of Rutgers’ Zimmerli Art
Museum about possible joint activities.
“I’m more a coordinator for common interests than an autocrat,” Jones says. “I think
of myself as a collaborator. I draw inspiration from working with others and sharing
ideas with them.”

A Haven For Artists & Aspiring Artists
n the heart of downtown
Lawrenceville is an organization that has been bringing
artists, aspiring artists and visitors to the quaint town since
2009: the Lawrenceville Main
Street (LMS) Artists Network.
Part gallery, part classes and
events, and all volunteer-run, the
non-profit Lawrenceville Main
Street Artists Network opened in
2009 at the behest of the
Lawrenceville Main Street
Board. The goal was to bring an
artistic presence to the village to
support the community's interest
and to increase tourism. An initial
25 artists banded together to create what is now a vibrant place to
exhibit, see, and learn about art,
as well as a place to purchase
original artwork at affordable
prices.
"Gallery members pay monthly dues and in turn may display
and sell their work in the gallery,"
said the LMS Artists Network
Marketing/PR Chair and artist
Denise Schwartz. "Our members
also participate in committees,
and many teach classes."
LMS Artists Network offers art
classes, workshops, and school
break and summer camp for
adults/teens and children. There
is a robust offering of topics from
"Animal Fun" and "Hanging with
the Great Masters" to "Cardboard Roll Puppet Theatre" and
"Handmade Holiday Gifts" for
kids, and "Acrylic Painting" and
"Wine Glass Painting" to "Watercolor" and "The Art of Re-Invention" for adults/teens. Popular
"Craft Parties" also are available
for kids and adults of all ages.
"Events are a big part of what
we do, too," Schwartz added.
"Every second Saturday we host
a free themed reception at the
gallery. There's music, food, and
the artwork changes to accommodate the theme. It's a great
way for the public to interact with
the artists and learn more about
the LMS Artists Network."
Another regular event is
ArtTalk, informal evening gatherings with professionals who can
provide valuable insight into the
field. ArtTalks have featured
"Marketing Your Artwork Digitally," "How to Get Into a Juried
Show," and "History of Oil Paint
Colors." Other events tie into the
community, such as the
Lawrenceville Farmer's Market,
Lawrence Township Community
Day and more.
Interested in supporting the
arts, but can only draw stick figures? Or know an artist who
would like to get involved in a
smaller way? Patron, Supporting
and Network Artist memberships
are available, and offer benefits
such as a discount card, opportunities to exhibit, invitations to
openings and events, and more,
depending on the membership
level.
"Artists have a tendency to operate in their own bubble,"
Schwartz noted. "The LMS
Artists Network helps artists connect with each other and with the
community. One way artists connect is through our workshops,
like the 'Artist Trading Card'
workshop. Historically, artists
have made small cards to trade
with other artists so they can
share their work. We help them
to create, connect, show their
work and more."
The LMS Artists Network currently is looking for members at
all levels. For more information,

name fool you-it is not a chain
salon or cheap version of a highend, over-priced, stuffy salon.

provides an environment which
is a fresh and friendly diverse
community that inspires terrific
hair and gives clients a chance to
escape their busy lifestyles. It's
one of Central New Jersey's

heritages, as well as Caucasian.
Our salon caters to men,
women and children, as well as
walk-in visitors — in which our
priority is to ensure that each
client leaves our warm environment feeling refreshed, relaxed

have worked to develop an atmosphere that is welcoming to
each client's unique needs and
taste. They take pride in developing strong and loyal relationships

One of the key differences that
you will notice with GL4L salon is
that we believe in the welfare of
our customers. The salon will always be maintained at a high level of cleanliness and hygiene at
all times. GL4L sanitation and
sterilization standards of tools,
smocks and service far exceeds
the guidelines established by the
State Board of Cosmetology; and

the beach while holding hands, watching the sun rise, traveling, and picnics in
the park are just a few of life’s pleasures
with the right person. I’m tired of the singles scene and I would like to find a lady
with whom to share these special moments. My ideal lady should be warm,
gracious, energetic, loving, affectionate,
and seeking a (possible) long relationship. I’d like for her to touch my heart in
a very special way. She must be trusting
and honest and, most of all, be my
friend. Relationships can be difficult at
times, so she should be willing to be patient in developing ours. Rome wasn’t
built in a day; it took a foundation, construction, endless energy, and a lot of
loving care. A good heart and a gentle
smile also work! Box 237528

Phaedra Through the Eyes of an Irish Playwright
I
rish playwright Marina Carr
grew up in a household full of artistic pursuits and a general love of
the arts and literature. Both of her
parents were writers. Her mother,
also a school teacher, wrote in
“Irish,” as she was originally from
the west of Ireland where that was
the spoken language. Carr’s father,
still living, is a produced playwright, novelist, and worked as a
civil servant for much of his life.
She and five siblings grew up in the
midlands countryside in Ireland, in
Offaly. When she was a very young
child, she enjoyed the numerous
books in their home, especially
children’s versions of Greek
myths.
With a nod to the Greeks, her
new play “Phaedra Backwards” is
in previews at McCarter Theater,
and opening night is Friday, October 21. It runs through Sunday, November 6.
In a phone interview, Carr admits
the strong impact that began with
those childhood stories, but says
that she forgot about them until she
was in her mid to late 20s. She graduated in 1987 from Dublin City
University, majoring in English and
philosophy, and in a short time was
gaining attention as a playwright.
“As a writer I was always looking
for stories, material, characters or
character traits. There’s nowhere
better than the great myths to find
great plots, ideas, characters — and
lots of drama.”
McCarter audiences have seen
two of Carr’s plays “The Mai” in
1996 (the U.S. debut for the playwright) and “Portia Coughlan” in
1999. Both were set in the Irish
countryside and had resonances of
classic myths and Irish folk tales,
but also centered on women dealing with family tribulations and
haunting memories.
“Phaedra Backwards” was commissioned by McCarter and has
been workshopped there several
times. Some of the cast have been
with the play throughout. “This is a
fantastic gift,” says Carr, who also
has the highest praise for director
Emily Mann. “They have been
working and investing in the story
and have a passion for it.” With the
commission, she looked no further
for inspiration than her then-current re-reading of Racine’s play,
“Phaedra.”
Thinking about the characters,
she felt there were lots of unanswered questions. The story of
Phaedra — which includes her parents; her sister, Ariadne; the men
they loved; and especially the
specter of their half-brother, the
Minotaur, who was half man, half
bull — has inspired many works of
art through the ages. But Carr
wanted to fill in some of the blanks.
As one might guess from the title,
she explores Phaedra’s back-story.
With “passing reference” to
Racine’s “Phaedra,” she has taken
another look at other sources.
“There are so many theories about
Minoan culture and Crete; you
could read on about this forever.
No one can agree on the story.”
by LucyAnn Dunlap
The bare-bones plot of the Phaedra story is that her mother, married to King Minos, becomes enamored of a giant white ox and
gives birth to the Minotaur. In addition to her sister Ariadne, Phaedra
has a husband, Theseus, and a stepson, Hippolytus. Feelings of lust,
love, hate, revenge, passion, deadly legacies, and other craziness
abound.
Carr says that her intent with
this play is to explore men and
women in the context of family.
This is a theme that has resonated
throughout her previous plays. She
says she is considering, “How to
feel, how to love, how crimes that
are committed affect standards and
reason. Destiny versus free will.
That is in all our lives.”
She is particularly focused on
the character of the Minotaur, who
appears as himself younger and
older. “What does it mean to be human? He is half human and half animal. Which half is worse? Which
half is better? What is the definition of human? There’s room for
improvement,” says Carr.
She makes it clear that “Phaedra
Backwards” is not an “Irish play,”
nor is it a “well-made play.” The
setting is contemporary, but she
says that she is playing with time
and space, with an assist from film
elements (filmed on Long Beach
Island) that are written into the
text. “We move back and forth between then and now — ‘then’being
the past, two generations ago.”
M
cCarter dramaturge Erica
Nagel describes the setting: “It’s a
mythic world with modern elements. Or maybe a modern world
with mythic elements. Really both
of those.
“The setting, according to Marina, is ‘Now and then. Then and
now. Always.’ That’s truly the best
description of the time,” Nagel
continues.
“Time in the play is kind of
mixed together. People from the
past will also appear now,” says
Carr.
In references, she is always described as Ireland’s leading woman
playwright — and if it’s a particularly astute characterizer, she’s
termed one of Ireland’s leading
playwrights. She modestly says, “I
would not consider myself a great
success, just a working playwright.
I’ve no wealth from my work. I
don’t know how that’s perceived
out in the world. I’m not complaining — I do get my plays on.” She
has yet to have a play produced on
Broadway. Is this and wealth the
judge of success?
Her first plays surfaced when
she was around 25, and her breakthrough notice was about five years
later with “The Mai.” Since then
her plays have been produced, but
she admits, “A lot of women writers in Ireland might feel marginalized. But I think it’s changing
slowly. If you do the math, there is
a bit of discrepancy, not just in the
arts, but right across the board.”
Few Irish women playwrights
have had lasting, universal attention. Currently, the playwright
Teresa Deevy (1894-1963) has had
two of her plays unearthed and performed at New York’s Mint Theater, whose mission is to revive
worthy “forgotten” plays. They
have yet to go further back to Lady
Gregory (1842-1932), who helped
to found the Abbey Theater and
had a number of her plays produced there, but that was that for
her output. She is mostly forgotten.
Already, Carr’s plays are more
widely known then either of these
earlier Irish women writers.
She has been writer-in-residence at the Abbey Theater, Trinity
College, and Dublin City University and has received a number of
awards, including selection for
Aosdana, an honorary organization
whose members are chosen by
their peers. It’s a startling revelation to me that this group is funded
by the Irish government and provides a lifetime income to the
artists who are members so they
can concentrate on their art.
From her earliest plays, Carr has
surprised audiences with her passionate, often-violent stories.
Someone should write a thesis
comparing whose work is bloodier,
Carr or Martin McDonagh (“The
Lieutenant of Inishmore” and “The
Pillowman”).
In person, Carr is the epitome of
poise and good-heartedness (I met
her a few years ago at a conference
in Dublin), and by phone or E-mail,
exceedingly charming and polite.
Someone in an article about her
even described her as “Madonnalike,” and they didn’t mean the
singer. When she isn’t traveling to
work on a production or to teach or
give a seminar, she is at home in
County Kerry with her husband, a
psychoanalyst, who is head of social work in a Dublin psychiatric
hospital, and their four children:
boys 11 and 13 and girls four and
seven. When we talked, she was
preparing to fly back to Ireland to
check on her family and would return to Princeton again for the last
days of rehearsals, preview performances, and opening night.
W
hen I ask her what in her
life prompts the subject matter in
her plays, she says, “It’s just what I
do, and I don’t see it in any way
connected to my biography. Writers write. Plain and simple.” Perhaps the Irish just have more imagination than the rest of us. She explains further: “While you are writing, it is purely instinctive or at
least the best writing always is.” If
she has secrets from her family’s
past, she intends to keep them
there. When asked about her parents, her reply is, “They were good
people, I think.
‘There’s nowhere better than the great myths to find great plots,
ideas, characters — and lots of drama,’ says playwright Marina Carr.
Courage Counts:
Playwright Marina
Carr was inspired
by the many
unanswered questions she found in
Racine’s ‘Phaedra.’
“I attempt to explore how one
deals with the impossible, the real,
the unreal, the things you didn’t expect. I want to examine this on
many levels. We spend so much
time denying history. I look
around; there’s intolerance and impatience. Make it quick. Plays are
getting shorter as are attention
spans. We get bored quicker. Now
we don’t want to spend too much
time thinking.” You can be sure
that her children are encouraged to
read books, including those stories
of Greek myths. And she assures
me that they do not have iPods,
iPads, or anything similar.
“What I learned from my parents
was the importance of people, that’s
where it’s at. We should be as good
as we possibly can to each other. I’d
like my children to live and know
and feel that. Also, I want to pass on
a love of learning, a sense of mystery, connectedness, and above all,
courage, courage, courage. That’s
what we need more of.”

Life in the Fast Lane
C
hemists exist between
two extremes when it comes to research. On the one end there is the
age-old method of trial-and-error.
On the other is quantum mechanics. The former was the only available method for centuries. The latter works great — in theory.
But in the middle is the real
world. This is where centuries of
trial and error — much of which
never aimed for anything specific,
but rather was conducted just to see
what happens when two substances collide — and recent advances in academics and technology intermingle. Scientists working
on compounds today, whether for
drugs or new materials or cosmetics, draw on all those things other
scientists wrote down from their
trial-and-error experiments and apply the facts to new computational
models. And as computer technology advances, so does chemists’
ability to study the intricacies of
molecular bonds.
John Kulp finds this approach to
be most practical. A longtime high-
Edited by Scott Morgan
tech entrepreneur and scientist,
Kulp is one of the founders of Bio
Leap, a Pennington-based firm that
develops intellectual property on
behalf of companies looking to develop pharmaceutical and other
compounds.
Bio Leap does not develop
drugs. It uses, among other meth-
Building strong
bonds at a molecular
level is not as
straightforward as it
might at first appear.
ods, advanced computer models to
discover how compounds for drugs
and other materials will work together. For its pharmaceutical
clients, Bio Leap works on the issue before it goes to clinical trial.
The company usually gets a compound “when somebody says ‘we
can develop this into a drug,’”
Kulp says.
Bio Leap has two other locations — Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the company’s software development takes place, and
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina,
where “the chemistry guys are.” In
addition to working with pharma
companies Bio Leap works with
agrichemical, petrochemical, and
cosmetic companies.
In Pennington, the company’s
headquarters, there are six employees and no labs. Kulp, Bio Leap’s
chief technology officer, oversees
much of the computer-assisted
work done here, which factors the
innocent-sounding, yet highly
technical concept of “stickiness”
in molecular bonds.
The success or failure of a bond,
Kulp says, relies on a molecule’s
ability to stick to a protein. In general, the stronger and more stable
the bond, the more effective a compound will be. But while that
sounds straightforward, strong
bonds can cause problems. The
tricky part is creating strong, stable
bonds in the right places amid a riot of molecules.
Creating too strong a bond between molecules might pull one of
them out of place, which could
negate its effectiveness. Or it might
be too big a bond for the purpose
needed. Bio Leap, Kulp says,
prefers finding ways to strengthen
weaker bonds (rather than altering
too-strong bonds) because it gives
scientists more control over the
bond’s ultimate strength.
Computer modeling allows Bio
Leap to do its research through a
sort of virtual trial-and-error (what
Kulp refers to as “guided guesswork”). This is necessary, says Bill
Chiang, Bio Leap’s project management director, because the
company does not have the luxury
of time like an in-house pharma development team might.
“We still have to show people it
works,” Chiang says, “but we’ve
got to get this stuff out the door.”
Companies developing compounds, he says, need go through
the paces quickly, and Bio Leap’s
cutting-edge software allows it to
test and re-test compounds rapidly.
Bio Leap makes part of its money through licensing agreements
and part by getting paid to solve
problems with a substance’s development. “We get something they
get stuck on,” Chiang says of Bio
Leap’s clients. “They put up the
money for validation. If it’s successful, we get a milestone bonus
or maybe share the intellectual
property.”
Chiang says that Bio Leap helps
companies identify the intellectual
property inherent in a substance.
No one owns proteins or molecules, but companies do own the
knowledge about how they work
together in specific compounds.
“We give them chemistries and
novel ideas they might not have
come up with on their own,” Chiang says.
Once you get a compound that
works, it’s a matter of refinement.
Kulp says a good chemist will
know what and where he can substitute and modify. This does not
mean, of course, that the path of
discovery is always smooth, nor
even always welcomed. Particularly in big, multi-tiered industries
like pharma, Kulp says, giant leaps
in innovation are often resisted because the results can alter too much
too soon in the way a company
does business. Often, this is the result of entrenched corporate culture, which developed one way and
is now resistant to anything that
challenges the status quo.
Kulp has a long history in tech-

nology. Born and raised in New
Jersey, his father was a Columbia
University professor who worked
on the Manhattan Project. He
earned his Ph.D. at MIT in electrical science in 1977. He stayed after
he graduated, founding Symbiotics, which sought to develop artificial intelligence. “We were pretty
esoteric,” Kulp says.
The company, he says, was
founded in part as a countermeasure to growing American fears in
the 1980s that Japan was poised to
take over the world — particularly
in the technology arena. The science
Symbiotics
developed,
through its hardware and software,
“achieved a technology pinnacle,”
but had one major drawback — “it
wasn’t what the customers wanted,” he says.
At least not in most cases. But
some of the technology Symbiotics
developed was bought by major
corporations and was responsible
for getting Pixar (now part of Disney) off the ground.
After building company sales to
the $100 million mark, Kulp went
to work for music entertainment
company EMI in the early 1990s.
Kulp came back to central New
Jersey to work in the bio-electronic
systems lab at Sarnoff Research
(now SRI Sarnoff). Because of his
experience building tech startup
companies, Kulp became involved
in some of Sarnoff’s spin-off companies, including Songbird Hearing, a North Brunswick-based
maker of disposable hearing aids.
Kulp ran Sarnoff’s digital video
projects before founding Bio Leap
in 2004. He started the company
because he wanted to work for
himself, he says.
As for the future, Kulp says Bio

Cranbury that could bring 40
new jobs immediately and as
many as 200 by the end of 2012.
The company held its ribbon
cutting ceremony on October 14,
when it announcd its intention to
create jobs. Oncobiologics also
has signed two major agreements totaling $80 million to
help get it off the ground.

Leap is in a good spot geographically, at the heart of the northeast’s
biotech industry. It also is in a good
spot technologically because of the
Internet. “The Internet has a profound effect on a company like
ours,” he says. “The ability to bring
together knowledge is just astoundingly different than it was
even 10 years ago.”

I
would follow him through a training session for his next fight, and
join him at a a couple of his favorite
haunts. I asked him for directions
and he answered, in a nasal voice
that sounded like Hollywood casting’s version of a 37-year-old
fighter who had taken his share of
punches to the schnozz.
“Meet me Thursday at 4:30 at
Exit 14-A of the Turnpike.”
I’m confused. Is there a rest stop
there, or a nearby diner or bar?
“No,” Wepner replies. “Just pay
the toll and pull over to the right
shoulder. I’ll find you.”
A 29-year-old freelance writer,
as I was at the time, doesn’t have
much to lose. So I drove my battered Plymouth Cricket up the
turnpike, paid the toll at 14-A, and
pulled over. Eventually a jade
green 1977 Lincoln Continental
idled behind me. The vanity license plate confirmed the identity
of the driver: CHAMP.
Next thing Wepner was driving
me through a complicated maze of
Jersey City streets to a gym called
Bufano’s Gym and Pool Parlor.
Along the way I asked Wepner
how he managed to catch Ali by
surprise and give the champ a real
fight. He did something, he told
me, that he suspected most fighters
never did when they met the legendary champion. He challenged
Ali: “Gung-ho, black motherfucker,” Wepner claims he told Ali at
the formal center-ring handshake
before the first round. It wasn’t a
racial taunt, Wepner explained. It
was just Marine
Corps macho,
and he expected
the same from
Ali. But he didn’t get it — Ali was a conscientious
objector, after all, never a Marine.
Wepner didn’t make any moral
judgment, but he did believe he had
caught the champ off guard.
A part-time boxer, fulltime
liquor salesman, Wepner was also a
consummate story teller, the kind
of celebrity a ghostwriter dreams
about. He bragged to the fighters at
Bufano’s and to me about his womanizing: “The lawyer for one of my
wives is a woman and the first time
I met her I told her I’d like to make
it with her. She said I was even
worse than my wife said I was. But
she had to admit that at least I was
genuine.”
In the pre-publicity for the upcoming ESPN documentary, Wepner has polished up some more stories. He tells Steve Politi of the
Star-Ledger about buying his then wife a negligee right before the Ali
fight. “You need to look right when
you sleep with the heavyweight
champion of the world,” Wepner
told her. After the loss, as Wepner
tells the story, his wife sat on the
edge of the bed in the negligee and
asked, “So, am I going to Ali’s
room or what?”
After the 1977 workout Wepner
changed back into his street clothes
in a decrepit locker room — no
shower, the pipes were frozen. We
visited a few of Wepner’s favorite
haunts and stopped by his one-bedroom apartment before he drove
me back to my car on the edge of
the turnpike.
Notwithstanding the dramatic
Ali fight and the Hollywood blockbuster, not much had changed, he
insisted. “The people I hang out
with now respected me and liked
me before the fight and nothing
changed after the fight,” he said.
“To tell you the truth, I guess my
life hasn’t changed that much.”
But it was about to. After years
on the party circuit, Wepner was
charged with cocaine possession in
1985 and spent almost three years
in prison. He left jail drug-free and
has also become a faithful husband
to his newest wife. Then in 2006 he
settled a lawsuit — details not disclosed — with Stallone to give him
some compensation for the Rocky
movies.
So I probably did leave a book
behind me at Exit 14-A. But it
might not have been the story I
imagined, and it might have been a
long time in the writing. Gung-ho,
Bayonne Bleeder.

f I were a young
journalist today I guess I
would try to parlay my articles into
a prominent place on the Huffington Post or a steady gig on the cable
news shows. Back in the 1970s,
when I was trying to carve out a living, the goal was turn an article into a book. I tried, came close, but
ultimately failed, with Connie
Francis, the singer (“Who’s Sorry
Now?” — a 1984 New York Times
bestseller), and with Ron Luciano,
the baseball umpire (“The Umpire
Strikes Back,” a 1983 bestseller,
and the first of five books Luciano
wrote with David Fisher — my replacement).
Oh well. And then there was
Chuck Wepner, the boxer known as
the Bayonne Bleeder who was a
last-minute replacement in a 1975
fight against Muhammad Ali.
Wepner, a huge underdog, went
nearly 15 rounds against Ali before
losing in a technical knockout. He
inspired the story for the movie
Rocky. And when the Sylvester
Stallone movie hit the big screen, I
went up to Bayonne to interview
Wepner.
Next week, on Tuesday, October
25, ESPN will air a documentary
[email protected]
on Wepner’s life. And sometime in
2012, a movie of Wepner’s story
will come to theaters. What was I
thinking back in the winter of 1977
when I spent a day with Wepner in
north Jersey for stories that appeared in New Jersey Monthly and
Cleveland magazine? Why didn’t I
at least pitch a book idea?
Wepner was a piece of work —
from the moment I first reached
him on the phone. We agreed to
meet in his home turf, where I
Will the real ‘Rocky’’
please stand up?
Chuck Wepner is doing that now, reliving
his memorable bout
with Muhammad Ali.
