Real Estate Tools For
Sellers & Realtors
M
aking a living in residential
real estate is a tough job these days.
And it’s not just because the economy is bad and lending is strangled.
It also has to do with a ton of competition among real estate agents
and a rival amount of fear and misunderstanding among would-be
buyers and sellers who simply do
not understand what they’re up
against.
A pair of upcoming events have
been put together to demystify the
home-buying/home-selling
process and connect real estate
agents and their clients to the cultural opportunities the Princeton
region has to offer.
On Thursday, April 26,
Madolyn Greve, an agent from
Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s
will host a free seminar aimed at
teaching potential home sellers
about the end-to-end process of
listing their homes. The seminar
begins at 10 a.m. at the Present Day
Club, 72 Stockton Street.
Presenting will be Greve; accountant Rebecca Matchinga;
Carla Cheifetz of Showhomes of
Princeton; home inspector and architect Stanley Chow of Prime
Building Inspections; home stager
Stephanie D’Ambrosia; and Dan
O’Kavage, a loan officer at Mortgage Masters. Call 609-462-2505.
On Monday, April 30, from 4 to
5:30 p.m., Princeton University
Art Museum will host a free cocktail reception for Princeton-area real estate agents. E-mail jfekete@princeton.edu or call 609-2583762.
Though the event is for real estate agents only (and is free to attend), the event’s coordinator, Jennifer Fekete-Donners, says it has
the general public written all over
it. The centerpoint to the art museum event is a “passport to the region’s premier arts and cultural
destinations,” a welcome package
of tickets and memberships that
agents may purchase to give to new
buyers and residents to help introduce them to the Princeton region’s
arts scene.
The package includes two tickets to a show at McCarter Theater,
two tickets to a performance by the
Princeton Symphony Orchestra;
two tickets to a non-holiday concert by the Westminster Choir College, and a one-year family membership at the Princeton University
Art Museum.
Fekete-Donners says the value
of the passport package is close to
$400, but is being sold for $75.
“We’re looking for ways to reach
out better to new residents,” she
says.
Fekete-Donners says the museum has been increasing its efforts
to build collaborations with community arts outlets for years, but in
the past 12 months has really
cranked up its efforts. “People
choose Princeton in part because of

the access to so many arts and cultural organizations,” she says. “We
wanted to build on that cachet.”
Meanwhile, Greve’s seminar is
designed to educate the selling
public and alleviate some of the
fears she finds among baby
boomers who want to downsize,
but who don’t understand the scope
of doing so.
Little things people never
think about. People accumulate a
lot of stuff in their homes, Greve
says. So when it comes time to
downsize, they are often surprised
by just how much stuff they have.
If downsizing comes because of
medical issue, or if a house is put

some important conversations.
Make sure to take comprehensive notes. Ask your husband if
he has a system in place that he
used for dealing with the household finances and investments.
It will be important to determine
the locations of all important papers and documents. Deciding
upon a filing system and a central location where these papers
can be kept should make it easier to manage the finances in the
future. It is also important to
have your spouse share the
names and contact information
of any service providers such as
lawyers, accountants, brokers,
and financial managers. If any
online banking is done, you
should find out all user names

Obtaining and organizing all
of this information can be quite a
task, but there are professionals
who can help. If you enlist the
services of a geriatric care manager this professional will be
sensitive to the circumstances
and needs of older adults and individuals with physical, functional and cognitive issues, and can
help you navigate in terms of
finding additional assistance.
There are individuals who work
as professional organizers and
bill payers. A referral from a care
manager will provide you with
the reassurance that the
provider is legitimate and, if required, credentialed. As with
many situations, thinking ahead,
careful planning, and organizing
will make a positive difference in
dealing with the challenges you
face. Good luck!

Admins: The Heart &
Pulse of A Business
D
uring her time in the U.S.
Army, Marja Lee Freeman excelled at administrative work. It
came to her naturally. One of the
fastest typists in her unit, she handled it all — court stenography,
payroll, documents, and reports, as
well as the management of conference rooms and security.
After leaving the Army her natural penchant for helping military
personnel and their family members transition into civilian workplaces led to her current career path
— one that allows her to travel the
world and get paid for speaking
and job training engagements.
“I would do workshops to teach
them what the employers were
looking for, but people couldn’t
pronounce my name,” Freeman
says. “They would say, ‘You know,
the employment lady.’” The name
caught on.
After working with military professionals and as a job trainer with
agencies and programs for disadvantaged people, Freeman decided
to start her own business. She
called it the Employment Lady, using the nickname she had been given by her students. Based in Virgina and specializing in employment, job training, and placement,
Freeman has conducted more than
1,800 seminars, conferences, and
workshops worldwide.
Freeman will present “Keeping
the Heart & Pulse of the Admin
Strong,” at Salt Creek Grille in
Princeton Forrestal Village on
Thursday, April 26, at an event cel-
ebrating administrative professionals week. Hosted by the Central Jersey Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), networking begins at 5:30 p.m. Freeman will speak at 6:45 p.m. Cost:
$42. Visit www.iaap-centraljersey.org.
Wednesday, April 25, marks the
60th anniversary of Administrative
Professionals Day. Initially called
Professional Secretaries Week and
Professional Secretaries Day, the
IAAP changed the names in 2000
to keep pace with changing job titles and expanding responsibilities
of the administrative workforce.
“Over those decades, the job of
an administrative professional has
changed dramatically thanks to
new tools, techniques, and seismic
shifts in the economy and culture
A lot of times, admins
will take on all the
work without asking
for help. Any time a
colleague offers support, admins should
accept.
itself,” says Mary Marrone-Polo,
president of the IAAP Central Jersey chapter. “Admins have remained the steady center of efficiency through it all, helping ensure that jobs get done right, on
time and under budget.”
“Admins are one of the engines
of business, particularly in a complex economy,” she adds. “In a
world that demands the accurate
and speedy movement of digital information, admins are masters of
data. And they do this while maintaining their more traditional role
as the gatekeepers for many customers, clients, and employees.”
Today, there are more than 4.1
million secretaries and administrative assistants working in the Unit-
ed States, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics, and
8.9 million people working in various administrative support roles.
More than 475,000 administrative
professionals are employed in
Canada.
Freeman is all too familiar with
the rigors of work as an admin.
Born into a military family, she
grew up in Fort Bragg, N.C., and
traveled the country with her family. Her father, brother, nephews,
and cousins were all members of
the military, and her mother was a
military wife.
Freeman followed in their footsteps, joining the Army and serving
as a sergeant stationed at Fort
Meade, Maryland. It was there that
she excelled at administrative
work.
She left the military in 1995 after Desert Storm and began training military professionals for their
future careers. Freeman then
joined the Laurie Mitchell Employment Center (she is currently
board president), where she helped
job-seekers who had gone through
periods of mental illness or incarceration train for re-entering the
workplace.
Eventually, she started getting
more calls from people asking for
help, but the decision to start her
own business was not an easy one.
Anxious that potential clients
would not take her seriously because she did not have a college degree, Freeman turned to one of her
military commanders, who provided words of wisdom and the recommendation letter that would
change her life.
“He said, ‘You can’t achieve a
goal you don’t try for,’” Freeman
recalls. She applied for a federal
loan specifically for women who
were starting businesses, and forwarded her resume and business
plan.
“My commander wrote such a
powerful letter of recommendation
for me; it was because of that letter
that I was able to get a grant and
start my business,” Freeman says.

speaks to the Central
Jersey Chapter of the
International Association of Administrative
Professionals on
Thursday, April 26.
“As a matter of fact, I still have it.
That letter was the catalyst to get
my business out there.”
Freeman doesn’t only draw inspiration from her commander.
Her grandmother’s advice — “If
you don’t live alone, then don’t do
it alone,” forms the basis for Freeman’s beliefs about maintaining a
strong administrative staff in any
workplace environment — ideas
she will share at the IAAP event.
Share the work. Administrative professionals are the “heart
and pulse” of the organization that
keep its arms and legs together,
Freeman says, but they need to stay
healthy to allow the whole unit to
function.
A lot of times, admins will take
on all the work without asking for
help. Any time a colleague offers
support, admins should accept,
says Freeman, whose expertise is
in training administrative professionals to handle day-to-day stress
that comes from working in an
ever-evolving environment.
Planning is key. “Productivity
is getting the right things done at
the right time, not getting everything done at the same time,” Freeman says. “My thinking of productivity was to always look busy all
the time. Mentally, I didn’t understand why I was drained at the end
of the day.”
This is why focusing on the right
needs when some of the other
needs can wait is crucial. “You
don’t keep the heart and the pulse
strong if you don’t take care of
them,” she says.
Take a break. Home life often
adds to an admin’s burden. Freeman, who lives with her husband
and stepdaughter in northern Virginia and is also heavily involved
with family, church, and volunteer
work, knows this idea well.
She usually travels every other
week, and some of her speaking
engagements have taken her to
destinations including Bermuda,
Australia, New Zealand, and London. This is why taking time for
themselves and recuperating is also important for administrative
professionals.
Effective multitasking is more
important than ever. “The level
of multitasking has expanded to a
totally and completely new level,”
Freeman says. “Initially, admins
pretty much had one boss. You
came in at a certain time and left at
a certain time. You were given a
task, you did the task, and you
might have a couple of snags here
and there, but you were still able to
U.S. 1
work, and you knew what your day
was going to be like.”
With new technology, though,
the work has escalated 10-fold, and
admins are now working with offsite employees both nationally and
internationally. This new technology also makes it harder to shut
work off.
“The presumption is that because I can reach you, I can get you
to keep working,” Freeman says.
“You’re still getting calls and Emails at 7:30 at night.” But when
an employee doesn’t get enough
sleep, he or she can make stupid
mistakes.
“Our mistakes affect other people,” Freeman says. “That’s what
we need to recognize — we need to
be at our best. That all stems from
taking care of you.”

Rethinking The Role
Of Finance In Society
E
conomist Robert Shiller
challenges people to rethink finance and its role in society, arguing that finance should not just be
defined as the manipulation of
money, or the management of risk,
but as the stewardship of society’s
assets.
In his latest book, “Finance and
the Good Society,” Shiller discusses how society can harness the
power of finance for the greater
good, explaining how CEOs, investment managers, bankers, insurers, lawyers, and regulators can
manage, protect, and increase assets.
He also describes how finance
has historically contributed to the

Unfortunately, abuse occurs far too often in nursing facilities and
many incidents go unreported. There are nearly 6 million cases
of elder abuse in the U.S. each year. That is approximately one
case every five seconds. Nearly 1/3 of all nursing homes have
residents that are subject to abuse. Additionally, 1 out of 3
nursing homes across the country have been cited for abuse and
other related infractions. What is even more surprising is that
90% of nursing homes have an inadequate amount of staff to
provide necessary care to our beloved elderly. Even though you
believe your father is in a great home, it is important to still keep
your eyes open. If you feel that your father is being abused,

Issues for Commercial Landlords to
Address Beforing Entering Into a Lease
by Tom Onder, Esq.
T
he upturn in the economy has created more possibilities for the commercial real estate market. Landlords
that have endured the effects of the Great
Recession are eager to place tenants in
unused space. However, that eagerness
should be tempered with the realities on
how best to protect the commercial landlord’s rights for issues that could arise later
in the tenancy. Following are some issues
to address prior to execution of the commercial lease.
1. Financials. Has the tenant provided
appropriate financial information? An astute retail tenant will provide a landlord
with a business plan to show how they intend to make a profitable location. However, it is important for a commercial landlord
to conduct their own proper and thorough
background checks of the tenants financials, including credit reports, bank statements, profit and loss statements and cash
flow reports, as well as to talk with prior
landlords. A landlord may want to request
a personal guaranty or letter of credit from
a tenant if there are concerns about their
finances.
2. Insurance Coverage. Has the tenant
obtained and provided a copy of their insurance coverage? In most every commercial lease, there is a provision to provide insurance coverage. However, so often is the case that the policy is provided
with the lease execution, but the policy is
never really examined. It is important to review the policy prior to entry of the lease.
What are the limits? Are their endorsements for certain coverage, like hurricane
coverage? What is the deductible? Are
their exclusions? If an incident occurs at
the landlord's commercial space, it is vital
that the landlord know what coverage is in
effect.
3. Liens on Equipment. Landlords can
also request a contractual landlord's lien
for equipment. In New Jersey, a landlord
automatically has a statutory lien for unpaid rent under N.J.S.A. 2A:42-1 and
N.J.S.A. 2A:44-166. However, if the tenant
were to file for bankruptcy, these liens are
subject to a bankruptcy trustee’s avoidance powers, which could leave the landlord with nothing. To further protect and ensure payment, a commercial landlord can
Finance Redefined:
Economist Robert Shiller
talks about the role of finance in society at the
Princeton Public Library on
Thursday, April 26.
Continued from preceding page
request a contractual lien compliant with
UCC requirements. Such contractual liens
can protect a landlord in the event of a
bankruptcy filing and ensure a right top
payment ahead of other creditors.
4. Buildouts. Often, retail tenants will
require certain improvements at the premises, including HVAC, electrical wiring,
plumbing, etc. These buildouts can add
time to the rental commencement date,
costing a commercial landlord much needed rent. Developing a plan for the buildout
early on, including any concession(s) by
the landlord for improvements can save
time and effort. In addition, clearly denoting with the tenant the ownership of such
improvements is important. Normally, such
improvements will incur to the benefit of
the commercial landlord, unless a provision is made with the tenant at the start of
the lease for the tenant to retain ownership.
These are just a few of the issues that
commercial landlords and tenants should
address prior to entry of a commercial
lease. Sound legal advice and counsel prior to drafting and execution of a commercial lease is essential to ensuring a commercial landlord’s rights are protected.

and Tenant Group can help assist you all
aspects of the commercial lease process,
as well as enforcement of your rights.

Job Search Tips For
The ‘Older’ Worker
T
echnology, different work
styles and management structures,
and a whole new way of searching
for jobs have all led to a changed
work place for the older worker. In
fact, even our perception of who
that “older worker” is has changed.
“It often depends on the industry
you are in,” says career coach and
engaged retirement specialist Carol King. “For people in IT, old can
be anyone over 30. In many other
industries, you can have problems
searching for a new job if you are
over 40.”
King will give a seminar on
“The Job Search for Older Workers,” on Tuesday May 1, 7 p.m., at
the Princeton Senior Resource
Center, 45 Stockton Street. Cost:
free, and no reservations are required. The program is sponsored
by the Engaged Retirement and
Encore Careers Center, a program
of the Princeton Senior Resource
Center.
It will include information on
strategies for competing in the new
work place, updating skills, networking, dealing with ageism, and
avoiding job scams. While the program is part of the Senior Resource
Center, she makes it clear that you
don’t have to be retirement age to
take advantage of it. “I often see
participants as young as 40 in my
workshops,” she says.
King graduated from Michigan
State University with a degree in
restaurant
management
and
worked in the hospitality industry
for many years. She originally
moved to New Jersey with Stouffer’s to open what was at the time
Meadow Lakes Villages in Hightstown. She obtained an MBA and a
PhD from New York University
and later became a professor at
Temple University, teaching tourism and hospitality management,
organizational behavior, management and leadership, and also
taught online courses through
Thomas Edison State College.
Retirement has led her to a new
career, as director of the Engaged
Retirement program at the PSRC.
The program is designed to help
boomer generation employees plan
for a rewarding lifestyle in retirement. But one retirement “career”
has not been enough for King. She
also keeps the books for PSRC and
runs opera video programs there,
volunteers at Ten Thousand Villages, a nonprofit fair trade store, is
treasurer of a local opera group, occasionally coaches computer classes for seniors, helps out at a local
music festival, and is a member of
the Mercer County Community
College Advisory Commission on
Aging. She is also a Certified Retirement Coach.
“Retirement is not the end, but
rather the beginning of a new stage
of life, and also may be the beginning of a whole new career, particularly if the person feels he or she
has been forced to retire through a
company downsizing,” says King.
The days of the Golden Parachute, where workers who faced
early retirement with a large compensation package, are long gone.
Today, early retirement usually
means not having saving as much
money as planned — and as this is
the healthiest generation of workers to retire, it can also mean looking at 30 to 40 years of life as a retiree.
Because of this, many so-called
retirees are really searching for
new careers, and they often face
misconception and discrimination
— not just by employers and coworkers, but their own misconceptions as well.
Perception of the older worker. Many employers and managers
view older workers as having obsolete skills, particularly in the
technology area, are physically
limited and more likely to need
time off for doctor’s visits or illness, are unwilling to work as hard
as younger workers, and expecting
a higher salary.
“Some of these perceptions are
valid, and others are not,” says
King. And of course, as with any
stereotype, it is never equally true
for individuals. That means that the
first thing the older job worker
must do is convince potential an
employer that he or she does not fit
that stereotype.
Upgrade your skills. Are you
computer savvy? Some older
workers may have trouble with
simple tasks such as sending Emails, for others, it may be the need
to know the latest version of a particular software program. Find out
what software and technology is
used in your industry and make
sure you are up-to-date on your
skills, recommends King.
A different style of office. In
most offices today there is less
“face time” between employees
and managers, or even other employees. Communication takes
place via E-mail or text messaging.

Meet the Speakers
Letter from the Chairman
Dear Chamber Members,
Everyone at the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce is
pleased to announce that our new
offices at 182 Nassau Street are
now officially open. Peter Crowley and the staff went through a
very meticulous office design
and moving procedure which allowed us to have a seamless transition from our old quarters on
Vandeventer Street.
The new offices feature commodious work stations for the entire staff, a comfortable break
room, and most importantly for
membership, a large conference
room which can comfortably accommodate up to 16 people. The
new conference room alone is a
marked improvement over our
old space and will provide our
many operating committees with
meeting space where they can
collaborate and accomplish their
various missions.
Nothing would make us happier than for our Members to come
by and see our new offices and on
Thursday, May 17, the Chamber
will host an official open house
during the hours of 3 to 6 p.m.
Please come by and take a look at
our new facility and say hello to
the staff.
One of the most active committees now operating is the Golf
and Tennis Committee lead by
Doug Borden of Borden Perlman
and Brian Juleskusky of Bank of
America. They have been at work
over the past few months putting
together our annual Golf and Ten-
nis Outing which will take place
on May 14 at The Bedens Brook
Country Club. Spaces are going
quickly as Bedens Brook does
not host many outside events.
This will be a great opportunity to
sample one of the most challenging yet player-friendly courses in
the area. For those that do not
wish to play a full 18 holes, the
Bedens Brook professional staff
will also conduct a clinic during
the afternoon. Please contact
Cheri Durst at the Chamber Office for more information.
Cheri’s phone number is 609924-1776, ext. 105.
As part of the 2011 Strategic
Planning process, your Chamber
examined all of the events that we
conduct in order to make certain
we are providing our Members
with valuable services and opportunities. During this process, we
determined that the annual Trade
Show, which we have conducted
at the Princeton Marriott for a
number of years, seemed to be
losing its popularity and impact.
Consequently, we will not be
holding a Trade Show this year
but, in its place, the Woman In
Business Alliance has stepped up
to replace it with a unique
Women’s Leadership Conference, which will be held on October 11th. Vice Chair, Michelle
Everman, is leading the effort to
develop this event which will feature a prominent keynote speaker
as well as a variety of educational
and career enhancing breakout
sessions. The conference will also prominently feature a bit of a
Monthly Membership
Luncheon
“mini trade show” with several
dozen vendors who will be displaying products and services
aimed at the business and professional woman. We will have further information, as well as,
sponsorship opportunities in the
near future.
In my last letter I mentioned
the Princeton Regional Chamber’s new blog which is located at
www.blog.princetonchamber.wo
rdpress.com. It already has multiple very informative postings
concerning subjects such as, how
to be a great boss, how to be successful at networking events and
how to best convey your arguments in a business setting.

the articles and feel free to make a

What’s Close to Biotech & Oslo? Princeton
A
by Scott Morgan
relative newcomer on the dermatology scene is photodynamic therapy (or
PDT), which uses a combination of light and
photosensitive pharmaceuticals to treat skin
issues and detect cancerous tumors without
having to rely on painful procedures that
were invented in the Dark Ages. This, says
Terry Conrad, president of PhotoCure U.S.,
is the way of the future.
PhotoCure, a Norway-based pharmaceutical company specializing in dermatology
treatment and cancer detection, first opened
its U.S. office in the Overlook Center in
2010. The company, however, has recently
relocated to 202 Carnegie Center, where it
employs six permanent staff and as many as
six more on-call sales staff at any given time.
Many of the company’s American salespeople are based remotely around the country,
Conrad says.
Conrad says PhotoCure picked Princeton
as its first U.S. office for the obvious reason
— Princeton is the heart of the world’s pharmaceutical industry. It’s also close to the
general life sciences hub that exists between
Boston and Washington, D.C., and it is close
enough to the airports that offer flights to and
from Oslo.
PhotoCure’s U.S. arm was established
partially to help promote the company’s latest innovation, Allumera, a topical cream
launched last year used in conjunction with
PDT for improving the appearance of skin.
The substance is the first photodynamic cosmetic agent on the market in the United
States. It is not a drug, Conrad says. Allumera is intended to replace certain cosmetic practices, such as chemical peels, by minimizing recovery time and being less traumatic on the skin.
“We’re trying to reduce ‘down time,’”
Conrad says. “It’s a step up from chemical
peels and a step prior to laser technology and
invasive treatment.”
How it works is a bit like how photographic film works. Light activates a specific chemical reaction. In the case of PDT, the
chemical, either a drug or a chemical solution, reacts to treat the skin (or cancerous
area) without doctors having to perform surgery. Photocure also is developing Visonac,
a new option for treating moderate to severe
acne.
In the cancer area, PhotoCure is
the developer of Cysview,
which is used in the detection
of tumors in the bladder.
Cysview has been marketed in Europe and South
Korea under the
name Hexvix. It improves tumor detection by generating red fluorescence that shows

officials) talked a lot about North
Carolina and the all of the things
they liked about it there.” Contributing to that was the fact that
PhotoCure CEO Terry Conrad
lived in North Carolina.
“Ultimately, I was thrilled that
New Jersey was the successful
suitor,” says Hart. There are a number of reasons why the company
chose to locate in Princeton. “Ge-
ography was critical to them. Since
they are a Norwegian company, the
fact that they could easily get a
nonstop flight from this area to
Oslo was a critical factor.”
Another big factor was the pool
of talent. “We have more commercial talent here than anywhere else
in the world,” says Hart. “When
companies are looking at a U.S. location, New Jersey is always on
that list. Often we find we are the
succesful location.”
In a recent report commercial
broker Jerry Fennelly, president of
NAI Fennelly, addressed the issue
of the growth of biotech in central
Jersey.
“Princeton continues to be a preferred location for international
companies due to its central east
coast location, proximity to pharma industry headquarters, and the
region’s international recognition,” Fennelly reported. “The major research and development centered on cancer and diabetes continue to produce bio company
growth.”
He also pointed out that financial instability internationally
makes the region an attractive des-
tination for foreign businesses.
Companies have migrated from
Japan, Switzerland, and China
with small pharmaceutical relocations, he says.
According to BioNJ, there were
more than 20 life science companies that committed to relocate to
or expand in New Jersey in 2011. In
addition to PhotoCure, companies
in the Route 1 and Route 130 clusters include BioLeap in Pennington; Celsion Corporation in
Lawrenceville; the Novo Nordisk
expansion in Princeton; and Oncobiologics in Cranbury.
Hart also points out that existing
biotech companies are spinning
out other biotechs that are locating
here, and universities — such as
Rutgers and UMDNJ — are doing
the same. Plus, as the big pharmacuetical companies downsize,
“folks are looking at setting up
their own companies. And that’s a
welcome trend.”
She says there’s an old joke that

Now Is The Time To Buy Or Rent
Bonanni Realtors
Current market is an opportunity
A
half-century in commercial real estate has made Bonanni Realtors
the area’s expert since 1956.
Dave Bonanni is the present owner
and operator of Bonanni Realtors. With
more than 50 years in the business, his
experience precedes him. He prides himself on strong communication skills,
which have contributed to the success
and longevity of Bonanni Realtors.
Bonanni has been aggressively serving central and southern New Jersey, including Mercer, Ocean, Burlington, Hunterdon, Monmouth, Atlantic, Middlesex,
and Cape May counties, and a few years
ago expanded into Pennsylvania’s Bucks,
Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
This has given the firm’s associates a
deep knowledge of the local marketplace.
“We are now seeing increasing sales
and leasing activity in our market area,”
Bonanni said. “Recent projects include finalizing a location for Briarwood Pharmacy on Kuser Road, Pollo Campero
Restaurant on Hamilton Avenue, a diner
on Arena Drive, and a full-service
QuickChek in Hamilton.”
The Bonanni commercial real estate
philosophy is about making connections
— bringing together individuals and businesses to find the right opportunities in real estate. Bonanni associates become
trusted advisors, assisting clients in all
aspects of commercial real estate transactions. “We pride ourselves in always returning phone calls to our clients and other interested parties.
“Our clients truly see us as experts who
can help them with a variety of issues and
needs,” he added. “We strive to bring a
solution to the table every time. Often, we

resumes.”
That’s changing. New companies
sprouting up range from consulting, to
bringing products to market, to people setting up their own CROs. “People are also
starting companies to do research that they
may have been involved with in Big Pharma, or some variation thereof,” Hart says.
Ultimately, it’s a big deal when companies like PhotoCure choose to locate in a
cluster. For biotech companies, the more
the merrier. “We have a reputation as being
the medicine chest of the world and the
clusters here are growing and thriving.
Biotech companies like to be among other
like companies,” says Hart.

such as banking relations and building

“Some clients come to us for a fair market value opinion,” Bonanni noted. “Some
buy with the intent to sell in a few years,
some for a long-term investment. We listen to their future plans and needs to
achieve their goals and exceed their expectations.”
Bonanni Realtors sees the current
market as an opportunity. Purchase
prices have adjusted to favor the buyer,
and finance rates are more than favorable. Attractive pricing on investment
properties is still available. Bonanni says
they are successfully structuring transactions on favorable terms and even creating positive cash flow from day one for
most clients.
“There’s a lot of talk and predictions
about commercial real estate out there,”
he said. “The bottom line: we have been
here before. The market is cyclical, and it
will cycle up again. Our job is to assist in
both good times and difficult times — we
excel at that.”

hen it comes to finding
a place to set up your
business, sublease
space is often an easier, faster,
and more cost-effective route
than a standard lease. Sublease
spaces become available when
one company moves out and
leaves a vacant space behind, or
when a company no longer
needs so much room and subdivides. When this happens, other
companies looking to scale
down, transition, or grow in the
near future can often find good
deals on temporary space.
The benefits of subleasing are
numerous. Sublease space usually is already finished — sometimes even furnished, and offer
phone systems along with other
technology. They are usually
ready to occupy sooner than
space that needs to be renovated, provided that the pending
new occupant can adapt to the
existing design conditions. Sublease spaces also can offer good
rents to temporary tenants, since
the prime tenant is often seeking
to unload or reduce the obligation for space it no longer needs.
Finally, the transaction is often
easier to negotiate, as the primary lease is already completed.
Sublease deals take far less time
to put together, but anyone look-
ing to occupy subleased space
should know that it still takes
time. From the moment you identify a suitable space until the moment you move in could be three
months, contingent on the landlord’s approval.
Sublease spaces are plentiful
in a good economy, when companies outgrow their spaces, or a
bad economy, when companies
need to shed extra space. But
subleasing does have its share
of pitfalls. As a sublessee, your
rental contract relies almost entirely on the fortunes of the prime
tenant to whom you are paying
rent. If the prime tenant cannot or
does not pay the landlord, goes
out of business, or defaults on
the original contract, you as the
subtenant could lose your space.
If a pending subtenant has concerns about the financial stability
of the prime tenant, they can ask
for financials, get a credit report
or communicate with the landlord
to gain a clearer assessment of
the stability of the prime lessor.
It also is important to know
that when you sublease space,
you rarely have the right to renew your lease. You also do not
inherit those renewal rights that
may be in the prime lease. However, we often advise our clients
at the outset to request a right of
first negotiation to renew on a direct basis upon expiration of the
sublease term. In addition, if the
primary tenant defaults, you are
at risk for having the lease terminated as a result.
At Commercial Property network, we have been negotiating
transactions and making deals in
the Princeton market since 1981.
We have helped hundreds of
companies find subtenants for
space and hundreds of others
find sublease space at a time
when they most needed it. We
are aware of a wide variety of
current available options, including several spaces offering sizable discounts to market, offering phones, furniture, and other
unique provisions.
If you are looking to consolidate and have space to sublet,
we can help. If you need to move
quickly and need a short-term
option, call us. We can help
solve your space problems and
keep your company in business
in the Princeton market.

Job growth means now
is the time to invest in
commercial real estate
J
ob growth is improving
throughout the country and
the state, and in Mercer
County, the private-sector job
growth in 2011 exceeded the rest
of New Jersey, giving the county
excellent momentum for the first
quarter of 2012. The county’s mix
of sectors, including pharmaceutical companies, colleges, health
care, and technology, contributes
to the area’s performance, according to economist James W.
Hughes of Rutgers University,
who spoke at the recent Mercer
County Economic Summit.
Leading the growth is the
health care sector, including Novo
Nordisk, which continues to expand, and the Route 1 office corridor, he said. In 2010, there was
both stability and modest growth
in private-sector employment in
New Jersey, with the addition of
just 10,200 jobs; 2011 was even
better, according to Hughes, with
33,400 jobs added, the best year
for private-sector employment
growth since 2000, when the
state added 64,500 jobs.
Even though New Jersey is
experiencing a solid recovery,
the state’s current deficit is still
174,000 jobs from its pre-recession peak. The recession, which
began in December 2007, lasted
until June 2009, according to
Hughes, and between 2003 and
2007, New Jersey saw a “very
modest gain” of only 80,000 jobs,
marking the four-year period as
one of the weakest economic expansions in the state’s history.
These facts and figures mean
that now is an excellent time for
businesses to consider purchasing property or leasing new or
additional space, according to
Jerry Fennelly of Fennelly Associates, commercial real estate
brokers in Hamilton.
“Commercial real estate is experiencing an increase in sale closings, with $140 billion in 2010 and
$193 billion in 2011, an increase of
27 percent on a national level,”
says Fennelly. The greater Princeton area experienced growth in the
financial markets, consumer, and
pharmaceutical areas in 2011, and
a number of large corporations in
the area either leased or purchased additional space, including
Novo Nordisk, Church & Dwight,
and BlackRock. The biopharma
sector in particular reported
stronger results with increases in
space by a number of companies.
The internet, software, media,
and electronics category also
showed positive signs with 96,511
square feet of growth, due in part to
the expansion of Princeton Power
Systems. The medical sector grew
by 55,000 square feet in 2011. The
average growth per transaction
edged up to 3,600 square feet, a
22 percent increase over 2010.
“Right now money is available
and inexpensive, and real estate
is available and inexpensive,”
says Fennelly. “The commercial
real estate market is literally
changing on a monthly basis.”
“Right now the demand is up
and the supply is heading down,”
says Fennelly. “For investors, that
means that there is potential for
growth in both rents and in property values. It’s a great time to grown
in New Jersey, especially in Mercer County, because we offer a
great location and great value.”

we step in and handle everything. Our team is knowledgeable, considerate and nice —
there’s no worry when you work
with us.”
Kelly says rental rates have
stabilized, and he’s seeing a
drop in vacancy rates. He’s noticed some tenants are expanding and looking for bigger spaces
to accommodate growth.
“Everyone isn’t going out of
business,” Kelly commented.
“Our tenants are smaller companies that are nimble and adjust to
the changing environment.
Things have definitely stabilized.”
Choice Larken properties include medical/office space in the
Princess Road Office Park in
Lawrenceville, offering 1,300
and 2,400 square feet; Montgomery Commons Medical & Office Park in Princeton with 630 to
2,793 square feet; and Montgomery Professional Center in
Skillman ranging from 1,000 to
4,000 square feet. There’s also
small flex space in the Hillsborough Business Center ranging
from 1,135 to 14,000 square
feet.
“Larken Associates’ properties
are first-rate,” added Kelly. “Plus,
our team’s professional medical
expertise, attention to detail, and
personal service takes the worry
out of building professional medical space. We’re literally just
what the doctor ordered.”
Physicians, dentists and other
medical professionals may learn

availability as real estate
market continues
recovery
N
ew Jersey’s commercial
real estate market is continuing its slow recovery
with activity in 2012 showing a
slight improvement, according to
Vincent Marano, vice president
and chief operating officer of
Princeton-based National Business Parks.
“Our rental rates are holding
constant, and we are doing deals
without making any major concessions,” he said. “We are also
benefiting from the lack of new
inventory, especially in the
Princeton and Morristown markets, where we manage nearly
1.4 million square feet. It’s made
our buildings more attractive to
both existing and prospective
tenants.”
Most recently, NBP has
signed leases totaling nearly
65,000 square feet for new and
renewing tenants. Among the
deals are IH Engineers, which
expanded from 5,000 to 9,000
square feet at Princeton’s 103
College Road East. New Princeton tenants include DataCede
which leased 2,000 square feet
at 2 Research Way and Biozone
with 4,000 square feet at 305
College Road East. In Morristown, Atlantic Health System
leased 40,000 square feet, KLG
Integrative Medicine leased
4,000 square feet, and Kelmar
Associates LLC doubled its
space to 5,000 square feet, all at
465 South Street.
While NBP expects activity to
continue improving, its biggest
challenge this year will be filling
80,000 square feet being vacatContinued on following page

ed in November by the downsizing of The
Bracco Group at 107 College Road East
in Princeton.
“The availability of this full building in
the College Park at Princeton Forrestal
Center campus offers a tremendous opportunity for a user with a large requirement,” said Marano. “Totally renovated a
few years ago, it is move-in ready, except
for tenant-specific improvements.”
Among the three-story building’s superb amenities are its own cafeteria, new
entranceways, a granite lobby, wood-paneled elevators, and a new roof and HVAC
system.
Marano is optimistic that all or a good
part of the building will be leased by year’s
end.
“More companies are out there looking
and we’re seeing many prospects whose
leases are expiring this year and are planning ahead,” he said. “It also helps that we
are known as a quality landlord, well regarded for taking care of our tenants.”

Is the commercial real estate
market improving?
by Joseph R. Ridolfi
T
he development of retail space and
expansion of the health care services industry are showing signs of rebounding as we enter the second quarter
of 2012. Retail and health care develop-
ment appear to lead the way at this juncture in the recovery of the economy in this
region. The stock market is showing promise, though interest rates are at record level lows with money markets, savings accounts, CDs, and the like with low yields.
Conversely, mortgage and home equity
loan rates are at low levels. Unemployment rates are still relatively high at 8+
percent average nationally. Some areas
of the country are doing better than others, while others are experiencing unemployment rates consistently higher than
the national average. Foreclosures on
commercial and residential properties
continue to impact the real estate market
in general, but there are signs that the
worst could be over.
With all the negative talk about the
state of the economy there may be a silver
lining. As we enter the second quarter of
2012 and reflect on the first three months
of the year, our office has experienced a
sizeable increase in property listings for
sale and lease, resulting in a good inventory base of realistically priced properties
we are presently marketing. This has resulted in greater activity for our office
completing sales and leasing transactions
so far in 2012, and it appears this trend
will continue for at least the near future.
There are some bright spots in certain
business sectors such as the retail and
healthcare industry in general with the
graying of the population nationwide.
Healthcare seems to do well in both good
Joseph R. Ridolfi
and bad economic cycles as people of all
ages require healthcare services. For example, in the greater Mercer County region, a new $600 million Capital Health
Medical Center in Hopewell Township, and
another new $600 million Princeton Medical Center in Plainsboro, and a new $900
million Virtua Medical Center in South Jersey. Other hospitals such as Robert Wood
Johnson Hospital at Hamilton and St. Francis Medical Center are expanding into suburban locations that are convenient to service their patients. Also assisted care living
facilities, hospice care facilities, adult medical day care centers, children’s day care
centers, and wellness and fitness centers
are experiencing a demand for their services in today’s soft economy. As the population ages this has created a need also for
elder care legal services, and attorneys are
now specializing in providing elder care legal services relevant to living wills, estate
planning, business cessation plans, etc.
The expansion of hospital medical centers has spawned the need for additional
doctors’ medical office space close to these
new medical centers. Many of these physicians are also looking to own their professional medical office condo units, as opposed to leasing office space as they have
in the past. Being located in or next to a
major medical center offers doctors convenience and efficient use of their time and
also convenience for their patients making
office visits or need of hospital services.
In the long run, a downward re-adjustment of property values could be beneficial to stabilize the real estate marketplace and economy in general. This would
encourage development and expansion
for business operations large and small
and hopefully in the not too far future.
All these indicators of the nation’s economic health show us that the rebound of
the economy is taking longer than past
business recovery cycles.

Administration and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority to provide loans and credit
support that can help you start,
grow, or redesign your business.

Our commercial lending goal?
To provide our business and real

customers have enjoyed for
decades.
Our business lending department works with attorneys, accountants, and other professionals to smooth out the process of
getting credit and financing for

local merchants and business
owners from end-to-end, not just

We are the community bank that

are the bank for all your needs.
In such a turbulent economy, it
is important that businesses,
large and small, know and trust
their financial institutions. Since
2008, it has been difficult for business owners to borrow money,

How did his
head end up,
well, in the

one day, while
he was photographing landscapes, he realized that he often included individual foreground trees to
add interest to a
broad vista. He found himself often more interested in the individual trees than in the landscape as a
whole.
“I find it no stretch to think of a
tree as a creature with a personality, something I can commune
with,” Magalhaes has said. “So,
in photographing an individual

Music Meets Movement in Concert Series Finale
T
he Thursday, May 3,
performance by countertenor
David Daniels with choreography
by Mark Morris is an exception
for both renowned artists. Indeed,
it is so much an outlier that it is not
listed on either of their web schedules. The extraordinary event, the
season finale for Princeton University Concerts, takes place in
Richardson Auditorium on the
Princeton campus at 8 p.m. Martin
Katz is the collaborator at the piano.
The Mark Morris Dance Group
has been a frequent visitor to
Princeton’s McCarter Theater.
Countertenor Daniels has worked
with the Morris group in the past.
But this is the first time that both
the Morris group and countertenor
Daniels have appeared at Richardson.
The Richardson performance
originated as a song recital by
Daniels, part of the Princeton University Concerts series. Marna
Seltzer, series’ enterprising manager, brokered the participation of
Mark Morris Dance Group in the
vocal program after meeting Morris when he co-taught a Princeton
course in dance in the spring of
2011 with music professor Simon
Morrison and New York dance
critic Joann Acocella.
Morris found the teaching gig
satisfying. He fully expects to return to Princeton, not only as a
choreographer. “I liked the teaching,” he says in a telephone interview from his Brooklyn studio. “I
like the university. The kids liked
the course. There wasn’t a lot of
attrition. I’ll be back. I’m not invited for a specific time, but I’m
welcome.”
Countertenor Daniels, interviewed by telephone from his
home in Atlanta, Georgia, sees a
new direction for the arts in the
addition of Morris’ dancers to his
recital. “Martin Katz and Mark
and I would agree that song and
piano and words are enough by
themselves,” he says. “But these
days, for one reason or another,
the song recital is taking a back
seat. This collaboration is a way
that different sides of art can sustain each other. I admire Morris’
openness, artistry, imagination,
energy, and musicality.”
Music for the May 3 performance is by Hector Berlioz, Johannes Brahms, Reynaldo Hahn,
and Steven Mark Kohn. Six
dancers from Mark Morris Dance
Group appear in new works by
Morris. The choreographer has
devised pieces for the Berlioz and
Brahms works, taking into account the peculiarities of the
Richardson stage. Morris and
Princeton music professor Wendy
Heller hold a pre-concert discussion at 7 p.m.
The performing space at
Richardson is severely limited as a
setting for dance. Knowing its inadequacies of lighting and size,
Princeton University Concerts’
Seltzer calls the space “intimate.”
Morris says, “‘intimate’ would
be a euphemism. The word is
‘tiny.’”
The 55-year old choreographer
is a vibrant, playful interviewee,
master of the relevant non-sequitur. He stresses the uniqueness
of the Richardson program. “It’s
something outside of the regular
appearances of my company,” he
says. “I was asked to do this program, and I thought, ‘No. Of
course not.’ Then I said yes.”
Morris worked out the details
with countertenor Daniels and pianist Katz. “I had a good time,” he
says. “I liked the music. There was
by Elaine Strauss
an interesting set of problems to
solve.”
“We use the space we have,
which is almost zero. I made up
some beautiful little dance frames
that take up no room. There are a
piano and a singer in the middle of
the stage. We never do that in the
company, normally. But the members of my company will be really
dancing at Richardson. What
they’ll do is not just filler. They’re
beautiful little dances.”
“The floor at Richardson is
very hard,” Morris says. “The
wood covers a surface hard
enough to hold a grand piano. I
choreographed so that it would not
be dangerous for the dancers.”
“I finished the dances the other
day,” Morris says. “In my studio
we work on them with the size of
the Richardson space taped out.
There’s not a lot of running around
and leaping.” With choreography
settled, Morris invited Daniels to
rehearse with the dancers.
Countertenor Daniels gives the
musicians’ take on the rehearsal.
“Martin and I are in the center of
the stage,” he says. “The choreography
happens
everywhere.
Sometimes we’re connected to it;
sometimes, not.”
“Mark devised the choreography taking into account the text,
the music, and the energy,”
Daniels says. “It’s all totally correct. He brilliantly choreographed
in a way that will be easily
changed in performance, tweaked
if necessary. If Martin and I take
extra time, the dancers will make
changes. Of course, Martin and I
will adjust as we perform. The
‘These days the song
recital is taking a
back seat. This collaboration is a way
that different sides of
art can sustain each
other,’ says Daniels.
whole collaboration will be like
chamber music.”
“There will be lots of spontaneity during the performance,”
Daniels predicts. “We don’t have a
lot of time to rehearse together.
It’s not like an opera that you rehearse for four months.”
Daniels has had considerable
experience in opera. His roles include the roster of baroque countertenor parts as well as contemporary opera repertoire for his
voice. Earlier this season, he
starred in the Met’s innovative
baroque pastiche production,
“The Enchanted Island.”
Collaborating with Morris, he
played the title role in Willibald
Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice” when
Morris made his debut as stage director for New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 2007.
“I was stepping in for the late
Lorraine
Hunt
Lieberson,”
Daniels says. “There was a lot of
emotion going into that production. I remember the energy and
commitment that those dancers
gave me on stage. I was so energized by their emotional connection. I get this also from some of
my singing colleagues.”
As a choreographer Morris uses
only live music for his dances. “I
work from music always,” he
says. Trying to discover the impact of differing instrumentation
on his choreography, I ask Morris
about working with different
kinds of musicians. Master of the
purposeful misunderstanding, he
replies, “I only work with one
kind of musicians. Good musicians.”
Whether the musician is a vocalist or instrumental performer
makes no difference to Morris.
“There’s no special effect because
of working with a singer or a
countertenor,” he says.
F
or vocalist Daniels the route
to countertenor was indirect,
though his voice fell without question into the countertenor range.
“Countertenor was my most natural voice,” he says. “I sang with this
voice all the time. This is the voice
I used around the house, at parties,
in the car, and in the shower. But
there were no teachers.” He trained
originally as a tenor.
Daniels, 45, re-oriented himself
as a countertenor in consultation
with George Shirley, his mentor at
the University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor. “I talked him into it by
singing for him,” Daniels says.
“Shirley said, ‘If you can sing like
this, why would you want to sing
any other way?’ He was very supportive.”
“People think of the countertenor voice as fragile, and of little longevity,” Daniels says.
“That’s a crazy idea. For 20 years
I’ve been singing countertenor
professionally. We’re as long-lasting as tenors or baritones. It’s about
knowing your voice and how to
keep yourself healthy. It’s about
choosing the right repertoire, getting enough hydration, having
proper rest between performances,
and not doing interviews that are
too long.”
“I was fortunate to grow up with
two singing teachers as parents, a
soprano mother and a baritone father. They taught at Converse, a
women’s college in Spartanburg,
South Carolina. Because of my father I was at the Brevard Music
Center in North Carolina from age
three months till age 19. He was on
the faculty at Brevard. I heard all
the major performers there and am
fortunate to know what good
singing is.” Daniel’s brother
Michael is principal cellist of the
Norfolk-based Virginia Symphony
Orchestra.
In 2013 Daniels appears at Santa Fe Opera in a piece written especially for him. Composer Theodore
Dance to the Music: Dancers from the Mark Morris Dance Group, pictured above at McCarter
Theater, perform along with countertenor David
Daniels in a unique concert at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton campus.

Morrison, choral professor at the
University of Michigan, based his
opera “Oscar” on the trial and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde. Santa
Fe Opera workshopped the two-act
piece’s first act at Santa Fe in 2011
and will workshop the second later
this year.
“This hopefully will be the highlight of my career,” Daniels told
Opera News. He believes that new
music is essential for the countertenor voice to survive and flourish.
Evidence of good news for
Daniels is the 2008 publication
“Twentieth-Century Countertenor
Repertoire,” where Steven L.
Rickards catalogs over 600 pieces
composed between 1950 and 2000
($116 in hardcover). The compilation includes works by more than
350 composers from 30 countries
with texts in 31 languages.
It appears that the countertenor
voice is here to stay. Perhaps the
countertenor/dance recital on a
cramped stage is also an enduring
contribution to performance art.

Review: ‘Man of La Mancha’
Y
by Jonathan Elliott
ou
really can’t go
wrong with a well-produced production of a musical theater classic. And Off-Broadstreet Theater’s
production of “Man of La Mancha” is just that: well-sung, solidly
performed, and alternatively silly
and affecting. It’s a great centerpiece for a spring evening out, even
before you take the included piece
of cake or pie into account.
A quick synopsis, just in case:
Struggling soldier-actor-writer-tax
collector Cervantes and his faithful
manservant are thrown into prison
by the Spanish Inquisition, clutching a trunk full of theatrical props.
They have been charged with foreclosing on a monastery. Their fellow prisoners attack them and put
them on mock trial with their possessions as collateral if they are
found guilty. Cervantes, as a defense, tells the story of Don
Quixote, the legendary knight who
tilts at windmills, and the story
slowly winds its way into the prisoners, as fiction overtakes reality
and the stakes get higher and higher.
The show’s success rests on a
trio of performances. First, there's
Barry Abramowitz’s Cervantes,
whose gleeful earnestness and
booming voice add a subtlety and
sense of grounding to a role that’s
usually broadly essayed and overplayed. Then, there’s OBT artistic
director Robert Thick, who, as Cervantes’ manservant and Quixote’s
friend Sancho, is affable and goofy
in his steadfast loyalty. And surprise surprise –– I’ve seen dozens
of shows at OBT, and never before
this production did I realize that
Thick has a fantastic voice! The
two make a fun pair, and their interactions are fun to watch.
The crown jewel of this production is Sarah Krauss’ Aldonza, the
coarse barmaid transformed by
Quixote’s chivalry into a more virtuous maiden. Krauss is a complete
part of this world, and from the moment she sets foot onstage, her talent and focus act like a lightning
rod. It becomes Aldonza’s show,
and that’s a good thing; Quixote
and Sancho are easy to
ridicule and laugh at, and
her faith transforms them
into something more.
Amidst this story within a
story, Aldonza’s broad cynicism gives way to devout
belief in the power of fantasy, and Krauss’ skill and utterly charming voice sell
the complexity of her role
with straightforward, sympathetic charm.
“Man of La Mancha” is
at its best when it walks that
fine line between high
stakes and silliness; it’s a perfect
moment when, on the verge of losing everything, Sancho recruits
two young female prisoners and
coerces them into donning wire
horseheads. For a second they’re
bewildered, but then they just go
with it, and we’re graced with two
dancing, happy horses. It’s just on
the edge of something you’d see in
“Monty Python,” but it’s the soul
of how this musical works –– while
the concept is lofty and the layers a
little complex, if you just say okay
and go with it, there’s fun ahead.
Among all that fun, however,
there’s the incredibly weighty concept of legacy, and the importance
of storytelling against truth –– with
the framing sequence of the Spanish Inquisition rearing its ugly head
throughout the show, it’s impossible to forget that each and every
one of the characters presented will
soon be questioned, found wanting, and put to death.
And Don Quixote himself plays
hopscotch with the line between
idealism and madness, as the other
characters ridicule and belittle his
unwavering adherence to the values of his imagined knighthood.
But there’s the startlingly affecting
flipside to this quality, in that this
vaguely silly story takes a place of
great importance to the prisoners.
And that’s the depth of “Man of La
Mancha” –– just as Quixote inspires divinity in a barmaid
through his hopeless romanticism,
so too does Cervantes’ tale bleed
into a place where hope is all but

dead. After all, there’s two ways we
can view stories: as lies and pieces
of fiction that keep us from confronting the horrors of this world,
or as inclinations that there are better places and people within each
of us.
Of course, there’s also “The Impossible Dream,” “Man of La
Mancha’s” famous ballad that’s
been translated into dozens of languages and recorded by everyone
from Liberace to Placido Domingo
to the Carpenters. And that’s the
point of the song, and the show ––
dreams are impossible, but they’re
still worth struggling to attain,
even when, especially when, hope
is gone. Productions often forget
this crucial element –– not so here.

When you walk into Lace Silhouettes Lingerie you will notice
the large selection of foundations, but unlike other generic retailers, we offer a boutique atmosphere with attentive and caring customer service. "One
guest at a time" is the philosophy
that helps ensure that each person that shops here is treated as
an individual and given the utmost attention!
Another factor that sets Lace
Silhouettes Lingerie apart from
other stores is that the sales associates at the store are also the
buyers. The bra fit specialist that
is fitting you for a bra will keep
your comments and suggestions
in mind when she goes into New
York on buying trips.
Thompson is passionate
about what she does and has
made it her quest to find out what
REAL women want. She has created a survey to discover real
women's thoughts and desires,
and hopes to reach out to 5,000+
women around the world. The
collected information will then be
used to work with our designers
and manufacturers to create
products that cater to our guests,
everyday women.
Thompson also gives back to
the community and has helped
support over 25 local charities

Lace Silhouettes Lingerie: What Real Women Want
aren Thompson, founder
of Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, believes that every
woman should be able to find the
"perfect" bra. You know you've
found the "perfect" bra when you
rip off the tags and wear it home
that same day! In order to find
the perfect bra for your body, a
bra fitting is necessary, and surprisingly easy! Did you know
that 80% of women are wearing
the wrong size bra? The average
woman's bra size changes approximately six times during her
lifetime. For that reason, bra fittings should be done every 6
months to one year with a qualified fit specialist.
Karen Thompson opened her
first store in 1988, knowing that
she wanted to create something
unique: real lingerie for real
women. Her purpose was to create a shopping experience that
would focus on the customer, our
"guest," and their individual
needs. The mission of the staff at
Lace Silhouettes Lingerie is
making women feel comfortable
and happy with their undergarments and themselves! Since
then Thompson has expanded
her company to six stores: three
intimate apparel stores and three
clothing stores.

PREVIEW
Howard McGillin: Actor Always on the Move
T
he actor/singer Howard
McGillin opened this season at the
George Street Playhouse in the musical “It Shoulda Been You” and
now stars in the season closer, “The
39 Steps,” playing through May
20. As the central character
Richard Hanay, he spends the entire play running from the police
who think he committed a gruesome murder and the Nazis who
think he has secret documents. As
McGillin describes the play, “It’s a
sunny send up of the old Hitchcock
film.”
During a rehearsal break at
George Street, I talked by phone
with McGillin, who describes his
goal as an actor in this play as “to
have fun, make the audiences
laugh, yet make the character so
believable that the audience roots
for him as the stakes are incredibly
high. It’s life and death. I play it as
real as I can, and the audiences go
along for the ride. It’s fun and
thrilling.”
The 1935 movie “The 39 Steps”
was one of Alfred Hitchcock’s early film successes, a story of intrigue and mystery. It became the
jumping off point for a stage version that follows the general story
line of the film but adds a lot of humor and general mayhem as three
actors play multiple roles with little help “except for a few props and
lots of ingenuity.” McGillin is the
only actor in the play who plays
only one character, who is, as he
describes him, “the through-line of
the play.”
And this is the hardest part of his
job, the physical action. After all,
the character is running —- and in a
winter overcoat. He played the role
a few years ago at a summer theater
in Cape Cod and reports that he lost
10 pounds doing the show. Since it
was early in rehearsals when we
talked, he looks forward to the luxury of having a “proper rehearsal
time” and to revisiting the play.
The stamina to do this should not
be a problem for McGillin as he has
done numerous leading roles. Most
famously, he has played more
Broadway performances as the
Phantom in “Phantom of the
Opera” than any other actor. Over a
period of 10 years he appeared in
by LucyAnn Dunlap
2,544 performances. “It was quite
exhausting but extremely rewarding,” he reports. “It was a great paycheck and so satisfying to play that
part. People love that show so
much. It was great to be a part of it.”
Though McGillin lives in New
York City with his partner and their
dog, Noah, he has spent of lot of the
past year in New Jersey. In addition
to the two George Street shows, he
played the devil Applegate in the
Paper Mill Playhouse production
of “Damn Yankees.”
He tends to “bookend” things.
He made his stage debut in a high
school production of “Damn Yankees,” then as young Joe Hardy.
That was in Santa Barbara, California, where he grew up, the
youngest of four boys. His introduction to theater had been while
he was playing clarinet in the pit
for his high school’s production of
“The Sound of Music.”
“My oldest brother played the
lead, Captain Von Trapp. I sat there
during rehearsal, looking up at the
stage and thinking ‘that looks like a
lot of fun.’” The next year, he was
the one on stage. “My brother’s an
attorney now, but sometimes I
McGillin’s goal: ‘Make
the character so believable that the audience roots for him.
It’s life and death.’
think he wishes he’d given it another go. I got the acting bug and have
been at it ever since.”
He began his career in California but came to New York in the
1980s. He soon had his first role
and has been consistently busy
ever since. I saw his first two New
York performances, first opposite
Linda Ronstadt in the Public Theatre’s production of “La Boheme,”
then as John Jasper in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” at the New
York Shakespeare Festival. It then
moved to Broadway, where it won
four 1986 Tony Awards. McGillin
got his first Tony nomination as
Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
His other Tony nomination was for
the 1987-’89 revival of “Anything
Goes” as Best Actor in a Musical.
His other Broadway shows include: “The Secret Garden,” “Kiss
of the Spiderwoman,” and revivals
of “She Loves Me” and “Sunday in
the Park with George.”
I surprised him when I said that I
also saw his performance in the
Stephen Sonheim/John Weidman
musical of several names and incarnations. First it was workshopped in New York under one title, “Wise Guys,” finally debuting
Off Broadway as “Road Show.”
When I saw it in Chicago, it was
called “Bounce” —-and went on to
Washington, DC, under that title.
With a glorious voice that we
won’t hear in “The 39 Steps”
(though he does whistle) he has also
done a lot of voice work for animated feature films. Many will remember his rendition of “La Resistance”
as performed by the kid who gets up
on a soap box to sing in the movie
“South Park: Bigger, Longer and
Uncut.” “It’s a take off of ‘Les
Miz,’” he tells me. “More theater
goers are impressed with that credit.”
His parents eventually were impressed with his theater work but
had been adamantly against it

when he started out. His mother
was in nursing administration and
taught at a junior college; his father, an accountant. They insisted
that he go to college, so he went to
the University of California in Santa Barbara where he majored in history. Not a bad choice, considering
all the historical musicals in which
he’s appeared. While in college, he
took singing and acting lessons as
well as performing in shows. “The
degree was a nod to my mom. ‘OK
I’ll get this degree,’ but I knew I really wanted to be an actor.”
McGillin has two grown sons in
“more acceptable fields.” One is in
computer software, the other working on a degree in accounting.
With perhaps some time off this
summer, he would like to go to the
beach and travel a bit, but come
September, he will be back to work
in the Broadway production of the
musical “Rebecca.” Another bookend: movie buffs remember the
1940 Hitchcock version of the Du
Maurier romantic, mystery thriller
novel. The musical was first produced in Vienna in 2006. Other international productions followed,
and now after a rocky road to put
the financing in place, which, according to a New York Times article, will be another big extravagan-

za with a major investment. The
original book was written and
adapted by Michael Kunze and was
translated by the Academy Awardwinning Christopher Hampton.
They have both collaborated on the
English lyrics, and with a score by
Sylvester Levay.
When McGillin was young, one
of his favorite sports was long-distance swimming. He credits it with
the beginning of his development
of stamina. “It builds up your
lungs. I’ve been so lucky to have
these many shows, and the long
runs.” Fortunately, another favorite pastime is very portable: doing crossword puzzles. “I won’t let
it go until I solve it or am absolutely stumped.” Both have come in
handy as he goes from one show to
the next.

Its second product is bond evaluation software. Firms “on the

They make these calculations for

platforms can’t handle those idiosyncrasies. With our system, a financial representative can look at

14 years. Capelogic will get a small
sum for coming up with its daily
value — but it will continue to get
the sum for 14 years.
Soderberg admits that sometimes he had to learn from his own
errors. Directly from college, he
marketed his first product, a preInternet software for direct marketing companies that included inventory management and list management.
“It didn’t go so well,” says
Soderberg. One vendor offered
precision and a margin of eight percent, and the other was less precise
but offered a 50 percent margin.
The inexperienced engineers chose
the more perfect, less profitable
option. Wrong.
“I cut my teeth on that business
and learned a very valuable lesson.
As an engineer you build the best
possible product, but in business it
needs to be a combination of a
good product, price points, and
good relationships.”
Soderberg grew up in the Bronx,
where his father was an accountant
and his mother founded a community center for underprivileged
children and seniors. He went to
the Bronx High School of Science
and graduated from Worchester
Polytech in Worchester, Massachusetts, in 1982.
After the debacle in direct marketing software, he carried his direct marketing experience to an advertising firm (where he learned
more about advertising). Then he
worked at Standard & Poor’s
(where he learned about financial
services and met Ahmed, an electrical engineer from Pakistan).
Exiting S&P, he worked for another data vendor, where he headed
the UIT department. When that department began to close, he realized that daily pricing for UITs was
going to be an underserved market.
He wrote a business plan. “I went
to potential clients with nothing.
They said if you build something,
we will buy it.
“So we started in Ishfaq’s basement. We built something, took it
back to the clients, and they liked
it.” At that point in 1999 Ahmed
lived in Randolph, but Soderberg
yearned for warmer weather. “It’s
10 degrees warmer down here in
Monroe,” says Soderberg. Now
they both live in the Monroe area.
Soderberg’s wife works for an advertising firm, and they have a
school-aged daughter.
Capelogic does not send its
work offshore; it would be against
Soderberg’s principles.
“I’ve worked at firms that try to
outsource software, but we have to
be really close to the customers.
We gather the requirements, release the first version, get comments, tweak. Gather, release,
tweak. So much is about constant
communication and refining,” says
Soderberg. “Anything that requires heavy customer interaction
needs be done in the United
States.”
This isn’t a true David and Goliath story because of course Standard and Poor’s is going to stay in
business.
Says Soderberg: “Hopefully
Capelogic will continue to grow
and expand its industry segment. If
our customers grow, we grow.”

T
he Lawrence Township
Zoning Board will hear a plan for a
new retail center on Route 1 south
on the site of the Mrs. G TV and
Appliances store in Lawrence
Township.
P. Shields Ferber, president of
the Ferber Company, based in Juno
Beach, Fla., is proposing a shopping center called Lawrence Commons on the 11-acre tract that includes the current Mrs. G business.
In addition to a new Mrs. G store,
the center could include businesses
such as a convenience store,
restaurant, and bank, according to
Debbie Schaeffer, CEO of Mrs. G.
Ferber has signed a contract
with Schaeffer and her family under which the company is leasing
the property, will act as developer
of the project, and then control the
tenants that locate there.
“We are retailers, not developers, so we needed an expert to develop the property,” Schaeffer
says.
The zoning board application,
scheduled for Wednesday, May 16,
seeks preliminary and final site
plan approval and consolidation of
lots. The application also asks the
board to grant a conditional use and
a bulk variance.
The tract is located south of the
Bakers Basin Road intersection. In
addition to the current Mrs. G store
it also includes a long-vacant diner
building, a commercial building,
and three unoccupied homes.
According to Schaeffer, the developer is working with the state
Department of Transportation on a
traffic improvement plan for the
area that would include changes to
the jughandle at Route 1 and Bakers Basin Road.
Meanwhile, Schaeffer says she
is excited about the possibility of a
new store. “We’ve always had a vision to rebuild a new Mrs. G either
on its own or as a part of a bigger
development,” says Schaeffer. “I
want to be a new state of the art
store so I can continue my community involvement.”
“The new store will allow us to
keep offering events, making Mrs.
G not only a retail store but a wonderful community experience,”
Schaeffer adds. “I always say the
store is a destination.” As an example she points out that Mrs. G will
be hosting a farm to grill event on
Sunday, April 29, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Schaeffer is the third-generation
owner of Mrs. G, which was founded some 40 years ago by her grandmother, Beatrice Greenberg, the
original Mrs. G. She says that they
are aiming for construction to begin in late 2013, with the project
taking up to two years to complete.
She says the project is important
because it will encourage independent businesses in town. “We
have to figure out, and get more independent businesses in community. Especially on the retail side.
Money from those businesses goes
back into the community.”

Derma Sciences, a medical device and pharmaceutical company
based in Carnegie Center, has acquired MedEfficiency.
MedEfficiency, headquartered
in Colorado, is the manufacturer of
the TCC-EZ Total Contact Cast
system — a treatment for diabetic
foot ulcers. Derma Sciences paid
$14.5 million in cash for the privately held company.
According to Derma CEO Edward J. Quilty, integration of MedEfficiency has already begun and is
expected to be completed by the
end of July.
“This acquisition is a key component of our strategy to be the
leading provider of novel products
for healing chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers,” says
Quilty. “With TCC-EZ, we are
even better positioned to improve
our market penetration in the U.S.
and in our expansion markets of
Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and
Latin America.”
Quilty says that members of
MedEfficiency’s sales and marketing management team have been
retained, as well as sales managers
as regional specialists. “We anticipate even stronger growth of these
products moving forward,” says
Quilty.
Derma Sciences focuses on
three segments of the wound care
marketplace:
pharmaceutical
wound care products, advanced
wound care dressings, and traditional dressings.
The company recently completed the Phase 2 clinical trial for a diabetic foot ulcer healing product
DSC127 — an investigational
pharmaceutical drug under development for accelerated wound
healing and scar reduction. It is
preparing to begin Phase 3 clinical
trials.
Derma’s Medihoney product is
a leading brand of honey-based
dressings for the management of
wounds and burns that was the focus of a positive large-scale, randomized controlled trial involving
108 subjects with leg ulcers. Its
other products include Xtrasorb for
better management of wound exudate and Bioguard for infection
prevention.

director.
www.pppl.gov.
A.J. Stewart Smith, who has
served as Princeton University’s
first dean for research since 2006,
was named as vice president for the
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
Smith is expected to begin the
newly created position in January,
2013, and will act as the university’s primary liaison with the U.S.
Department of Energy, according
to a PPPL news release.
Smith, a Princeton professor of
physics, is a researcher in high-energy particle physics and a nationally known figure in science policy, according to the release.
During his tenure as dean, Smith
oversaw several research support
functions that had been spread
throughout the university.
They include the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations,
the Office of Research and Project
Administration, the Office of
Technology Licensing, PPPL, and
the university’s animal research,
biosafety, and research integrity
programs.
The university has announced
that it has formed a committee to
begin a national search for his successor immediately.
Smith’s move will allow him to
dedicate more time to PPPL, which
the university has managed for
more than 60 years. According to
the news release, Smith’s successor will focus on areas of the dean’s
portfolio that grew during Smith’s
tenure, including corporate and
foundation relations, technology
licensing, and regulatory compliance.
“One of the principal areas of
emphasis for the next dean for research will be expanding corporate
and foundation partnerships, and
improving our already very strong
competitiveness for government
grants,” says Princeton Provost
Christopher Eisgruber.
“Stew has made tremendous
progress in those areas already. By
moving responsibility for PPPL into his new office, the university ensures that his successor will both be
able to take on existing management and oversight responsibilities, and also cultivate new initiatives that will help Princeton’s research program to secure the funding that it requires,” says Eisgruber.
The transition will also allow
Smith to devote more time to his
own research, with 50 percent dedicated to oversight of PPPL, the
other half to his research. Smith
joined the university faculty in
1967, a year after earning his Ph.D.
in physics from Princeton in 1966.
He served as chair of the physics
department from 1990 to 1998.
During his career Smith conducted a succession of major experiments in particle physics at national laboratories. Since 1995, he
has served as scientific team leader
of an international collaboration of
600 scientists from 10 countries involved in a project based at the
Stanford Linear Accelerator.

Charles E. Hatch III has died

employee of FMC, starting in 1975
as a process chemist. During his
years there he rose to the position
of Process, Formulation, Residue,
Metabolism, and Engineering
R&D Director. He was also technology director for the FMC AsiaPacific Agricultural Venture, and
finally a senior fellow working on
special projects.
Lawrence P. Frazer, 59, died
on April 23. He was a chef starting
at Bucks County Play House, and
moved on to work at several
Princeton University eating clubs
including Terrace Club, Campus
Club, and DEC. Later he became
executive catering chef at the university. He recently left Princeton
to pursue teaching culinary arts at
the Eden Institute.

and the recession mean that there is
more competition for fewer jobs —
and that means that employers can
pay less to get good workers.
“Be realistic about the salaries in
your field,” says King. “Do some
research, not only on what those
salaries are, but on what you really
need to live. Can you afford to take
a smaller salary? Then get over the
salary you used to make, and take
what is being offered today.”
There are fewer full-time jobs
with benefits available today than
there were 10 or 15 years ago. We
are moving to a “free-agent economy,” says King. Older workers
who have a retirement package
may be more financially able to
step into a temporary or independent contracting positions because
they do have retirement benefits.
Be open to new ways of thinking
about your employment.
Fitting in while acting your
age. It can be difficult for an older
worker to feel comfortable in an of-

30. In many other industries, you can

job if you are over 40.
fice filled with 20 and 30-somethings, so how do you fit in with a
younger group while still acting
your age? Fitting in is about working with the culture of the organization, explains King. If the preferred
method of communication is a text
message, learn how.
Don’t spend a lot of time telling
people how you did it in the old
days. “They don’t care,” says King.
“Business is about what we do today and tomorrow, not what we did
yesterday.” If you do have an idea
for a different or better way to do
something, try to couch it in different terms.
Acting and dressing your age is
also important. Many people attempt to dress “too young” and end
up just looking silly or inappropriate. Another big question that now
affects both men and women, mentions King is “to dye or not to dye.”
While some recruiters and career
counselors will go so far as to suggest this for men and women with
significant grey hair, King has a
different view. “Go with what you
are comfortable with. Just make
sure that whatever you do, you look
professional.”
No matter what your age, transitions are easier if some thought and
planning is done before hand.
While that might not be possible in
the case of a layoff, for the person
who is a few years from retirement,
taking the time before it happens
will make that transition easier.
Work provides benefits beyond just
a salary: it brings structure to daily
life, status and identity, a sense of
usefulness and social interaction.

W
e columnists at U.S.
1 don’t run photographs along with
our columns. I’m not sure why that
is — maybe because I was the first
columnist for the paper 27 or 28
years ago and I was afraid my picture would scare off readers.
Over at the Trenton Times they
apparently don’t have that fear. The
mug shots of the columnists run
right alongside their columns. And
for that reason when I picked up
my copy of the Trenton Times last
weekend I recognized immediately
the smiling face of Arnold Ropeik
on the cover, and I knew in a heartbeat that the news about him couldn’t be good.
The Times put the news of
Ropeik’s death, at the age of 90, on
the front page of its Sunday paper.
Good call. Ropeik had worked for
the paper for 45 years, and he had
been a columnist for 22 years,
cranking out more than 2,500 personal opinion pieces on a wide
range of subjects. For many of us
he was the face of the paper —
warm, smiling, approachable, and
intelligent, all wrapped up into one
mug shot next to the words that
matched the face.
A few days after Ropeik’s death
the Times reprinted his last column
Richard K. Rein
for the paper, printed on February
7, 2006. Here are some excerpts:
So, here it is. The last column. The coup de grace. How
will I pack these last 45 years
into one 15-inch column? The
answer is I won’t.
From a cold historic day in
1962 to this very fair day of
2006, I have felt welcome
here. I have felt at home at The
Times of Trenton . . . or The
Trenton Times, as we used to
call it. I will always call it that
in my heart of hearts.
...
As the column grew in
scope and content, I was happier and happier. The mail got
heavier and heavier and my
head and heart lighter. I got to
write three times a week for a
number of years. I was very
happy.
Then came trouble. I endured what the doctors called
a minor stroke. I did not see it
as minor. My “minor” injury
rein@princetoninfo.com
to my brain left me unable to
fathom the keyboard any
longer. From being a speed
typist to resorting to hunt and
peck, I did the best I could, one
key at a time. But it slowed me
down to one column a week.
But the fundamental thing
applied as time went by, and I
made it work. Until now, that
is. I finally got very tired and
began to think more and more
of this sad day.
...
One last piece of advice.
Do not turn your backs on this
newspaper.
The biggest bite we have
taken is through the Internet.
But that device will never replace your local newspaper.
We still connect you with your
local heart and soul. Don’t forget us. We need each other.
We always will. Farewell.
I thought I would end this column with a memory of Arnie
Ropeik, whom I read hundreds of
times but didn’t meet in person
more than two or three times in my
life. The last of those times was a
year or so ago, when my son performed with three other high
school kids in a trombone ensemble. The group had a gig at a nursing home, the Greenwood House in
Ewing.
After the 45-minute recital, and
an enthusiastic ovation, the boys
began packing up their instruments. One of the residents, getting
around in a wheelchair, made his
way over to chat with the young
performers. He may not have recognized me (there’s no photo with
this column), but I knew the face
right off. Like all good reporters,
Ropeik probably would have said
that he preferred to stay in the
background and observe others in
the spotlight. On this day I turned
the tables on him, and gave the high
I set out to tell a story about the late columnist, Arnold Ropeik,
and I end up hearing another one from him. His is better than mine.
school kids a brief history of
Ropeik and his role at the Trenton
Times. I think he enjoyed it.
I planned to end the column with
that Ropeik story but then I ran into
Robert Landau, proprietor of the
Nassau Street clothing store. Landau knew Ropeik not only as the
newspaper man but also as the
manager of a Witherspoon Street
grocery store — Ropeik’s fatherin-law owned the store and Arnie
worked there in the 1950s between
journalism stints.
That experience led to an Einstein story — one of the better ones
that has come to the attention of
Landau, whose store is also a
repository of Einstein memorabilia. Einstein was a customer at the
grocery store and often would stop
by on a morning walk and leave off
a paper bag of returnable bottles.
Later in the day he would return to
collect the deposit owed him.
Someone once asked him why he
didn’t just ask for the deposit on the
spot and save himself the second
trip. Einstein noted the various deposit amounts charged for the different bottles — two cents for this
one, three for that one. “I wouldn’t
be able to figure it out,” he said.
