Managing the Deer Population
W
hen I look out my
window and see a pair of eightpoint bucks, or a half dozen does
and fawns, I cannot help but marvel at their majesty, beauty, and
grace. Then I sigh and shake my
head, remembering that the overpopulation of these marvelous
creatures has created tremendous
ecological problems for the Sourland Mountain region and countless other forests around the nation. In truth, the oversized deer
herd is destroying the Sourland
forest.
Wildlife experts estimate that
there are now more than twice as
many white-tail deer in New Jersey as there were in the year 1700.
In our corner of the world, the
deer’s natural predators –– bears,
wolves, cougars and bobcats have been eliminated, or very
nearly so.
At the same time, forests have
been fragmented by development,
creating more of the edge-ofwoods habitat preferred by deer.
These factors have permitted the
deer population to grow to an unnatural and unhealthy extent.
While hunting and automobile
collisions provide some checks,
the size of the Sourland deer herd
today is limited principally by the
availability of food.
Thus, malnutrition and related
illnesses are common, as the size
of the herd is too large in relation
By Cliff Wilson
to the food supply. Overpopulation is not only bad for the deer,
but for humans as well. Deer are
now the second largest cause of
automobile accidents in New Jersey, trailing only drunken driving.
There are more than
twice as many whitetail deer in the state
as there were in 1700,
but there are few natural predators.
The current epidemic of Lyme
disease –– a serious and potentially debilitating infectious disease
–– is largely attributable to deer
ticks.
Perhaps worst of all, the overpopulation of deer is a true ecological disaster for the forest. Browsing by the oversized herd is literally destroying the understory of the
Sourland forest, and, with it, the
future viability of the forest itself.
The saplings that represent the
next generation of trees are continually eradicated. Native shrubs
and herbaceous plants are being
consumed to the point of extirpation (that is, local extinction).
Deer are destroying the habitat
and food sources of countless oth-
er species, as well as the longterm prospects of their own habitat.
The Sourland Planning Council strongly advocates a diverse
and healthy wildlife population
in the Sourlands. Indeed, preservation and restoration of wildlife
habitat are central to our mission.
In the case of the white-tail
deer, responsible stewardship requires responsible and sustained
thinning of the herd.
Human activity created the
conditions that allowed this crisis
to develop. It is now up to us to restore balance to the Sourland
ecosystem.
A number of approaches to the
problem have been tried, but responsible hunting –– with an increased emphasis on culling does
–– remains the most practical and
effective method for controlling
the deer population.
Cliff Wilson, a Montgomery
resident, is a member of the Sourland Planning Council, “a nonprofit organization working to
protect the ecological integrity,
historical resources and special
character of the Sourland Mountain region.”
This article was reprinted from
“Living in the Sourlands: A Guide
for Responsible Stewardship.”

information.
What’s Wrong With This Picture? The Sourland
forest may appear healthy, but actually something is
terribly wrong. The saplings that represent the next
generation of trees and the diverse shrubs and plants
that comprise the understory of a healthy forest have
been destroyed by the oversized deer population.
Lacking natural predators, deer have few limits other
than the availability of food. So nearly every sapling
and herbaceous plant suffers — browsed by deer and

unable to survive.
Stewardship Recommendations
1. Support responsible deer hunting. Allow responsible hunters to hunt
deer on your land. Even a property as small as a few acres may be appropriate for bow hunting.
2. Advocate in favor of government efforts to cull the deer herd. Encourage your municipality and county to engage in deer management programs that emphasize the harvesting of does. Bringing the deer population
in balance with the land’s carrying capacity will ensure healthy forests and
healthy deer.
3. Create enclosures to protect saplings and other native plants. Special
fencing can’t protect the entire forest, but can be useful in preserving
small, select areas.
4. Educate others about the need to restore balance to the Sourland
ecosystem by responsibly managing the size of the deer herd.

E-Communications
and the Law at Work
N
ot so long ago, E-mail was
just about it for electronic communications, and employer rules
about its use could be simple and
straightforward.
But electronic communications
are rapidly evolving and the
changes are forcing courts to confront the question of Fourth
Amendment protection against unreasonable searches when employees send personal message on their
employers’ electronic communications devices.
“In the recent past an employer
could issue a general warning to
employees that anything they
wrote on their company-provided
computer could be accessed by the
company,” says Kerrie Heslin, a
partner with Nukk-Freeman &
Cerra, a Short Hills-based law
firm.
“Today we have texting, BlackBerries, cell phones, smartphones,
laptops, and pagers. The courts are
starting to second-guess employers
and shed light on how they can
monitor employee use of portable
handheld devices and computers.”
Heslin and Katherin NukkFreeman, co-founder and CEO of
the law firm, will address what employers need to know about employee electronic communications
during a webinar titled “Monitoring Employee Electronic Communications” on Thursday, August 12,
from noon to 1 p.m. Cost: $129.
Visit www.njicle.com.
A native of Bergen County, Heslin joined the firm as a partner nearly four years ago and has practiced
law for 15 years. She devotes most
of her practice to the litigation of
employment issues involving discrimination, whistleblower claims,
compensation and benefits on behalf of employers.
She graduated from Syracuse
with a bachelor’s in finance and
marketing in 1991 and earned her
J.D. from Seton Hall in 1995.
Law wasn’t on Heslin’s mind
when she began college. “My original plan was to major in finance
and get a job in investment banking
on Wall Street,” she says. “But after an internship, it didn’t capture
my interest so I decided to add a
second major in marketing. I wanted something that paid decent
money and was challenging.”
Most of the available jobs, however, were in sales, so Heslin opted
to go on to law school. “It was the
right decision,” she says. “I love
law and it’s a challenging field.”
Heslin’s father was a dentist
while her mother stayed home.
“My mother was one of five children — four girls and a boy,” Heslin says. “Being traditional Irish
Catholics, her parents sent only the
son — not the daughters — to college. My mom always wanted to go
to college so she has been very supportive of me. She’s lived vicariously through my career.”
E-Comm: Attorney
Kerrie Heslin says old
rules about electronic
communications at
work no longer cover
every situation.
Heslin calls her own family “reverse traditional. My husband
stayed at home until our two kids
got a little older and then returned
to his profession as a golf pro,” she
says.
E-mail confidential. In April
the New Jersey Supreme Court addressed how much privacy and
confidentiality employees might
expect regarding their E-mails in
Marina Stengart v. Loving Care, a
home health-care agency.
Stengart used a personal, password-protected, web-based E-mail
account on her company’s computer for her personal communications with her attorney.
The court decided that while her
personal E-mails were largely fair
game, those communications with
her attorney were not.

“The company tried to use her
communications with her attorney
in its litigation against her,” Heslin
says. “The court held that the employee does not waive her attorney-client privilege through her Emails on the company computer
because she had a reasonable expectation of privacy.” The court
further ruled that an employer must
turn over such privileged E-mail
communications — unread — to
the employee.
In June the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled unanimously in favor of a police department in California after
it audited the text messages sent on
a city pager by a police officer. The
court decided that government employees are not protected against
searches of their electronic communications on devices provided
to them as long as their employers
have “a legitimate work-related
purpose for looking.”
The decision represents only a
preliminary effort to define public
employees’ Fourth Amendment
rights in the digital arena. The
court declared that public employers have wide latitude to search
their employees’ offices and files.
But it also said that employees can
still look to the Fourth Amendment
for some protection of their privacy rights.
While the California case addressed only government employees, Heslin says, we can extrapolate the ruling to mean it will similarly affect private employers,
too.”
What do these court decisions
mean to employers? “These are
among the first decisions in this
area,” Heslin says. “There are now
more onerous requirements for
what employers can see and for
what they can do with the informa-

tion they access. I expect we will
see many more decisions — these
are the tip of the iceberg.”
Heslin used to recommend that
employers create a general communications policy and reserve
their right to review the communications put on the devices they provide to their employees. “Now an
employer will no longer be able to
get by with a one-size-fits-all policy on employee use of its communications devices,” she says. “Employers will have to take measures
to protect themselves.”
Heslin suggests employers determine which employees have

vices, and what devices each has;
analyze who needs which devices,
and who needs access and how
much access to the Internet; create
a clear policy that carefully spells
out what is and what is not subject
to an audit for each communications device; establish a clear
process for auditing its communications devices, which should be
random and be performed periodically; and name an employee to
oversee the auditing of the devices
and provide that employee with the
proper training to do the job well.
“Some employers want a policy
that strictly prohibits the use of
their communications devices for
personal use,” Heslin says. “For
most companies, that isn’t practical. Most companies permit some
limited personal use because they
understand employees will need to
communicate some private information on company devices.”
The courts have yet to address
many scenarios, such as employee
communications that involve patient-doctor relationships and personal finances.

BlackBerry? “Employers must
prepare a policy that covers all situations and all devices,” Heslin
says. “For example, what if an employee connects his personal
BlackBerry to his company computer? Each employer must create
a policy that meets unique needs.”
For example, companies in
highly regulated industries, such as
finance and health, may want more
aggressive policies that permit
them to see all personal communications permitted by the law.
With an uncertain future in this
area, Heslin advises her clients
how to develop policies that comply with current laws and provides
updates as new cases alter the law.
Get involved. Despite the
growing complexity of the law,
employers can’t afford to take a
hands-off approach, Heslin warns.
“Companies have an affirmative
duty to monitor the electronic communications between employees
for harassment and discrimination,” she says. Failing to do so
could expose companies to harassment and discrimination lawsuits.
She recommends companies
perform audits randomly. Otherwise, they could be accused of discrimination or retribution by targeting an individual. Typically,
employers have employees sign a
statement acknowledging they
have reviewed and understand the
policy that pertains to private use
of company communication devices.

A U.S. 1 ADVERTISING FEATURE
The Legal Side of Going Green In New Jersey
F
or several years the promotion of green development and alternative fuel
sources have been at the forefront of the media. With the recent BP environmental disaster
in the Gulf of Mexico, it is certain
that further efforts to seek alternative fuel will be increased.
Many companies hear the term
LEED certification but are not entirely sure exactly what that
means.
LEED stands for Leadership
in Energy and Environmental
Design and is a rating system
that was developed by the United States Green Building Counsel. There are several levels of
LEED certification and various
green development methods that
are utilized to achieve LEED certification. One of these methods
is the use of solar to power a
building.
The requirements for solar installations throughout the State
of New Jersey are very high and
today we have only scratched
the surface on the number of solar installations which must be
put into place to comply with the
legal requirements of the State of
New Jersey. New Jersey has
more than 5,800 solar installations amounting to 157MW of solar capacity as of April 2010.
However, New Jersey has further committed to a goal of 20
percent renewable energy use
by 2020 with 2.12 percent, or an
estimated 1,500MW to
2,300MW, set aside for solar.
This is the nation's largest solar

commitment relative to population and electricity consumption.
The plan to reach 2.12 percent of solar capacity by 2021 requires approximately 174MW
each year to be added to the existing capacity in order to reach
this goal. As such, there has
been an infusion of efforts by
many businesses and companies to commence solar development.
In a most conventional installation, the solar system operates
under what is called a net metering concept, whereby the solar
installation is placed on a building behind the utility meter and
serves as a replacement to the
power that is otherwise utilized
by the property owner and/or
tenant from the power grid. This
can result in a reduced and potentially eliminated electrical cost
for the facility, thereby saving
tens of thousands of dollars a
year. In New Jersey there is a
unique market for the sale of
what are called solar renewable
energy credits (SREC's). The
added revenue from the sale of
the SREC's generated by the solar facility to offset the cost of installing the system in connection
with a 30 percent grant from the
Federal Government for commercial installations, results in
the ability to recover the full cost
of the solar installation is as few
as five years with future years

stream through the sale of
SREC's for an additional ten
years.
Solar installations are not
without legal issues and complications which must be factored
into the equation when implementing these systems. Specifically, one must be cognizant of
utility easement restrictions, municipal zoning, liability, tax consequences, and the nuances of
the guidelines governing the 30
percent grant program under the
American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. Utilizing a qualified
professional solar integration
firm for the installation as well as
proper legal counsel to navigate
the pitfalls with respect to a solar
installation and green development is vital to the success of
these efforts.

We have only scratched the surface on the number of solar installations which
must be put into place to comply with New Jersey’s legal requirements.
“The policy statement is not
considered a contract,” Heslin
says. “But a good policy will put
employees on notice because it
spells out which areas they should
have no reasonable expectation of
privacy.”
That wording — “reasonable
expectation of privacy” — is what
the law hinges on, Heslin says. At
least for right now.

The Food Networkers
‘E
at local, drink global,”
says chef Christopher Albrecht
of Eno Terra restaurant in
Kingston.
It’s a catchy phrase, particularly
for a talk that he will give to a local
networking group with a green focus. Albrecht will be the guest
speaker at the Princeton chapter of
Gotham Networking on Thursday,
August 12, at 7:30 p.m. at Eno Terra. Cost: $30. Visit www.gothamnetworking.com.
But for Albrecht, “eat local,
drink global” is more than a catch
phrase and more than a philosophy
on food and eating. It is a philosophy that encompasses all of the
business practices at Eno Terra and
its sister restaurants in the Momo
Group (which also includes Terra
Momo, the Witherspoon Bread
Company, Nova Terra, Teresa
Caffe, and Mediterra). “There are
many definitions of ‘local.’ Some
are obvious, some less so,” says Albrecht.
The first and most obvious definition, explains Albrecht, is “proximity. There are many good reasons to go local; the convenience,
the economy of travel, and the
quality of the food you eat.”
The farther the food must travel
— in time and distance — from the
garden to the table, the more flavor,
texture, and nutritional value it loses. Eating local means enjoying the
best meat, poultry, and produce in
season.
But the reality of life is that if we
ate only food produced within an
hour so drive and drank only beverages and wines produced in New
Jersey, our diets would be as limited as they were in the days before
refrigeration and fast transportation made it possible to enjoy items
such as avocados and mangoes, as
well as a wide variety of wines.
The new local. “Let’s face it.
There are not a lot of wines produced in New Jersey,” Albrecht
says. That means he must look outside the region to bring a wide variety of wines to the restaurant.
Drinking globally doesn’t mean,
however, that you must give up the
idea of local. You just have to redefine it.
“When I look for suppliers in
New Jersey I look for small family
businesses that offer quality. When
I look for food or wine globally I
want the same characteristics,” Albrecht says. He has found it most
often in Italy. “The Italian sensibility embodies those qualities. That’s
why we emphasize Italian wine
here at Eno Terra,” he says.
But Albrecht doesn’t limit his
search to one country. He looks for
the best regional producers for
each type of food he serves. “For
seafood, Alaska has some of the
best-managed fisheries in the
world,” he says. “We’ve also developed local relationships with
shrimp and salmon producers
there. There are excellent family
fisheries that have the same ideas
about quality and service that we
do. Those are the people we want to
work with.”

must in his industry
these days.
Local relationships. When
working with New Jersey farmers
Albrecht likes to go to the farm,
meet the owners, talk to them about
their products, and see exactly how
they produce the food he will buy.
He doesn’t usually have that opportunity with out-of-state or outof-country suppliers, but he says he
still wants to develop those local
relationships, even if the other person is half a world away.
One of the best ways to make
sure you are working with people
who have the same values as you is

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

people who work at the stand, he
suggests, and find out what will be

“Stone fruit, such as peaches, are
great this year because of the hot
weather,” he says. “And melons
have also been really delicious. If
you talk to farmers you’ll find out
these things and you can be ready
to take advantage of the best. There
is so much information out there.
The farmers know it and they are
always willing to share.”
A central Jersey native, Albrecht graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde
Park, New York, in 1996, and then
headed to Manhattan to work at
Gramercy Tavern. He worked
closely with “Top Chef” Tom Colicchio for three years, becoming
the saucier. He then studied another three years with Beard-awardwinning pastry chef Claudia Fleming, working his way to assistant
pastry chef. He worked directly
with her to publish her book, “The
Last Course.”
Albrecht also participated as a
sous chef in the opening of Colicchio’s innovative Craft Restaurant
in New York City before assuming
the role of executive chef at Craftsteak Las Vegas. He has worked in
charity and industry events such as
the Masters of Food and Wine,
Taste of the Nation, and Bon Appetit Focus.
His culinary style, he says, “focuses on high-quality seasonal ingredients from small, familyowned and operated farms and
ranches, delivered at the peak of
their flavor.” His goal is to make
consumers aware of who is your
farmer.

“If you’re at work at you’re always waiting

Past that, Kasarabada is a wide-open book,

It wasn’t a desire to move into the financial

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

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

But while there is a definite laid
back, beach bar feel to the Cabana,
patrons also have the luxury of ordering from Main Street’s full, upscale food menu. We shared the
con queso dip (two kinds of corn
chips with guacamole, bean chili,
shredded cheese, fresh tomatoes,
and scallions, $11), a salty appetizer that went well with our sugary
drinks.
Queso dip empty and glasses
drained, my parents and I finally
paid our bill nearly an hour and a
half after we had arrived. We came
thirsty and left fully satisfied with
our experience. I’ll shorely be back
for more before the summer ends.

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

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

provide the only digressions from
their talking. For a talky play there
is nothing static about the dialogue
or the behavior of these two highly
opinionated characters. It is certainly amusing to listen to the challenges they make, each inflexible,
each armed with his own arsenal of
questions and answers.
That there is no loss of momentum during the play’s 75 minutes in
real time is a laudable accomplishment. The play’s most unexpected
turn has Lewis suddenly having to
help Freud cope with a life-threatening emergency. Intractably analytical and yet amusingly conversational, “Freud’s Last Session,”
nevertheless, offers more than
brainy talk; it offers bracing theater. +++ — Simon Saltzman

published in 2001, gives a blowby-blow account of her life in the

excess from the perspective of an
insider. When the book came out,
Buell was both celebrated and
panned as one of three prominent
exponents of “groupie lit,” along
with Patti D’Arbanville and
Pamela Des Barres.
But Buell has a special place in
the annals of the music, chiefly because she has been witness to some
of the most compelling events and
personalities of the rock era. “Some
people have called me the ‘Forrest
Gump’ of rock and roll, because I
have been able to do a lot of things
that a lot of people could only
dream of,” Buell says. “I have been
very fortunate in my life that my
dreams have all sort of come true.”
Beverle Lorence Buell was born
on July 14, 1953, Bastille Day, in
Portsmouth, Virginia. Her father
was a military man, who later became a psychologist and professor
at the University of Florida and
who was out of her life after her
mother divorced him and remarried. Buell’s stepfather, Lester
Johnson, was also a military man,
an officer, whose jobs took him to
different cities, principally during
the Vietnam War.
“I was educated in Catholic

country,” she says. “In Europe, nobody cared that I
had posed nude. It was a

People
were, and are, much freer
(there), especially in the
fashion industry. But in
America, back then, fashion models didn’t pose
nude. It was considered
something of a taboo. Now,
of course, it is much more
accepted.”
However, being Miss
November also gave her
much more cachet in the
rock world. She began dating stars such as Jimmy Page and
Todd Rundgren, whom she had a
long-term relationship with even
when she met Steven. In fact, says
Buell, she had told both her daughter and Rundgren that Rundgren
was Liv’s father because Steven
Tyler had been too drugged out to
be a responsible parent.
B
uell’s 2001 memoir starts
out with a zinger of an anecdote.
She and her best friend were walking on a boardwalk in Newport,
Rhode Island, in 1968 when a tall,
flamboyantly dressed black man
pulled up in a sumptuous, latemodel Cadillac. He let the electric
windows down and asked the two
girls if they wanted to come see a
concert that night. Although
Buell’s friend seemed excited,
Buell was scared, and quickly pulled her friend away.
Her friend was angry. It was Jimi Hendrix.
That’s the kind of life Buell had
in the world of rock and roll in the
1970s and ’80s. Still, Buell says
that her book (written with Victor
Bockris) and the stories she tells
don’t really represent her perfectly
— the Charles Barkley Syndrome?
— and that she is planning on
working on another book soon.
In the early 1980s, Buell began
singing herself. Ric Ocasek, leader
of the Cars, produced her first
record, the EP “Covers Girl,” with
the Cars backing her.
Six albums later, Buell is touring in promotion of “Sugar.”
“About two years ago I was at an
auction for Beatles memorabilia,
and I ran into an old friend, Steve
Lee, now the vice president at Sirius Satellite Radio,” she says. “I
was trying to pitch him on a great
idea for a radio show I wanted to
do, but he said, ‘Ya know, Bebe,
you should be back in the studio
making a record.’ So I went home
and told Jim that we needed to get
in the studio and get working. I had
been so frustrated — for years I
have been walking around with all
of these tunes inside of me.”
The songs on the album are often autobiographical, or at least
drawn from experiences in Buell’s
life. “It’s like giving birth,” she
says. “When you’re a songwriter,
you get all (twisted) up if you can’t
get your songs out.”
With collaborations from drummer Bobbie Rae and guitarist Jimmy Walls, most of the lyrics were
written by Buell. “I wrote ‘Gray
Girl’ about a dog that passed away,
and ‘Black Angel’ was written
about a dear friend of mine, Joey
Ramone, who passed away,” she
says. “There is a lot of passion on
the record; there was a lot of stuff
that I wanted to get off my chest. So
there are lot of things that needed to
be said. I look at ‘Sugar’ as a synopsis of my life.”

“Now that (Liv) is fine, grown and
into her career, I can do all the
things that I have wanted to do in
my life,” says Buell. “When you
know you’ve done a good job, it’s
easy for you to enjoy your own success.
“My life has been so rich in the
last 10 years,” she continues. “I’ve
had so many life lessons and experiences (since then). I met my husband and have had a very stable relationship for the past 10 years. It’s
lovely to work with someone, to
have a partnership with someone.
Fidelity, monogamy, all the things
you want. I love having stability in
my life and a stable, solid relationship. I’m able to focus on one thing
now — my music.”

Back To School
Dental Alert!
I
t's that time of year again! While most
kids are thinking of new clothes and
new supplies for the upcoming
school year, it's also an ideal time for
parents to reinforce good health habits,
including ways to keep your kids' teeth
in tip-top shape.
Children in the United States need
and deserve to arrive on the first day of
school healthy and ready to learn, according to a statement by past U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, M.D.,
M.P.H. But more than half of all 5-to-9year-old children have at least one cavity or filling. And, when a child has serious tooth decay, an infectious disease
for which there is no immunization and
that is second only to the common cold
in prevalence; it can affect overall health
and lead to problems in eating, speaking
and even cause school absences. Over
51 million school hours are lost each
year to dental-related illness.
"Children with preventable or untreated health may have trouble concentrating and learning," says Alycia Rodgers,
M.D., AAP spokesperson. When a child
has serious tooth decay, it can affect
overall health and can lead to problems
in eating, speaking and paying attention
in class.
Most parents don't realize that tooth
decay is a bacterial disease. It remains
the most common, chronic disease of
children and is a key cause of tooth loss
in younger people. Here are some back
to school tips for maintaining healthy
smiles:
1. Schedule a trip to the dentist. Getting an exam taken care of at the beginning of the school year will save you the
hassle of scheduling a visit to the dentist
around school hours or after-school activities. Add a dental exam to your backto-school preparation list: new clothes,
new supplies, new dental exam!
August 15

2. Make a dental care kit for school.
Brushing after lunch is the new standard! A dental care kit should at least
contain a toothbrush, toothpaste and
dental floss. Let your son or daughter
pick the bag, just make sure it has a zipper closure and plastic lining and fits
easily into a backpack.
3. Give your kids healthy snacks. Instead of cookies, chips or packaged
snacks that contain cavity-causing sugars, give your kids wholesome goodies
like fresh fruit, low-salt nuts, celery or
carrot sticks, even cottage cheese or
low-fat plain yogurt to eat at home or
school. Your dentist will thank you for it!
4. Replace sodas and sports drinks
with water. Most sodas, sports or energy drinks and even "vitamin" waters are
loaded with sugar. Give your kids bottled water to take to school. For an ecofriendly option, get them reusable water
bottles -- some even have built-in filters!
5. Get custom-made mouthguards.
Have your family dentist create custommade mouthguards for your kids to wear
during gym class or after-school activities. This simple device can protect their
teeth from being broken or knocked-out
by a ball, a fall or rough play.
6. Buy new toothbrushes. At our office we give you one at your recall visit
every six months. Make oral hygiene
fun by starting off the new school year
with new toothbrushes! Younger kids
can pick toothbrushes with designs of
their favorite cartoon characters, glitter,
stars and so on. Older kids might enjoy
the switch to an electric toothbrush.
7. Start a reward system. If your kids
get a good report card at the dentist,
treat it as an accomplishment. Rewards
don't have to be extravagant or expensive: make a giant tooth or star and
hang it on the fridge for little ones, plan

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

While “The Pavilion” is a drama, it’s also full of laughs — kind

moments of levity and great moments of studious exposition,”
Griffith says.
Davis, 43, grew up in New York
City, but moved with his mother to
Princeton as a teen, when she remarried. Writing runs in his family,
with his mother, Flora Davis, a noted journalist and writer of non-fiction works, including “Moving the
Mountain: The Women’s Movement in America Since 1960.” His
father was a historian and speechwriter, crafting speeches for such
groups as the National Urban
League.
“I was at a pretty young age
when I realized I wanted to be an
actor, but since mom and dad were
both writers, they supported me,
they understood the creative impulse,” Davis says. “When we
lived in New York, we often went
to the theater, and I also took acting
classes and just loved it. I always
knew I wanted to act.”
A
graduate of Princeton High
School’s class of 1986, Davis has
fond memories of being involved
in theater there. “My acting
teacher, Maureen West, was a mentor, and Carol Wimberg, the theater
teacher at PHS, also inspired me,”
he says. Davis went on to Mercer
County College, and then the University of the Arts in Philadelphia,
graduating in 1999. Since then, he
has tried his hand at a little bit of
everything theatrical. He had a
comedy sketch group in Philadelphia at one time, taught theater, directed plays, and designed sets and
lighting.
“I love it all, and am comfortable doing any of it,” he says. “For
a long time, I thought I was an ac-

tor, but then I discovered that I am
an acting teacher,” Davis says. “I
love being on the stage but teaching is what I was put on earth to
do.” He is currently in his sixth
year at East Brunswick High
School. He also taught in Franklin
Township for five years, and simultaneously taught at the Somerset County High School of the Performing Arts and the Mercer County High School of the Performing
Arts.
Griffith, 33, is a native of central
New Jersey, who grew up in East
Brunswick, Cranbury, and Princeton. He says although his father
wasn’t employed in the arts, his
family was never against creativity. “My father played the trumpet,
my brother is a musician, my sister
is a sketch artist, so there was always art in the family,” he says.
Griffith’s day job is with ADK
Graphics, his family’s print and design firm based in Robbinsville.
Griffith’s passion is writing, and
he specifically sought out Roger
Williams University in Bristol,
R.I., because the college offers a
major in creative writing. He
earned a BFA in 1999.
The two partners formed
Chimera Productions less than a
decade ago, after meeting “over cigars” at A Little Taste of Cuba, the
cigar aficionado’s haven on Witherspoon Street in Princeton.
“We’re both into cigars, and we
met there, started talking and became friends, eventually founding
Chimera together,” Davis says.
“Drew was already doing some activities with the Arts Council of
Princeton, so we decided to approach them about doing some theater. We started at the alternative
space they were using while the
current venue was under construc-

tion (the former ConTEMPORARY Arts Center on Harrison
Street.) We were actually the first
theatrical group to perform in the
new space, and we’ve come back
every summer.”
Both men express praise and
gratitude for the Arts Council of
Princeton. “Over the years, they’ve
really nurtured us, and they don’t
put restrictions on us,” Griffith
says. “We have full creative control, but we work together to make
that productive for everyone. Jeff
Nathanson (the Arts Council’s executive director) has especially
been a great supporter and friend.
“We’ve seen success for all the
shows we’ve done there, and
we’ve built a nice following in the
area,” Griffith adds. “We like that
we’re presented by the Arts Council. We’re not only using their
building, we love that we’re a kind
of team. It makes for a great relationship, and everyone is really invested, 100 percent devoted to
their tasks.”

Creating the Iconic Images of the Kennedys
by Helen Schwartz
F
or those who are old
enough to remember, “The
Kennedys — Portrait of a Family:
Photographs by Richard Avedon,”
an exhibition of historic photographs on view at Morven through
October 31, will function as an
evocative trip back in time. For the
rest of us, this stunning collection
of images capturing a behind-thescenes look at President-elect John
F. Kennedy and his young family
will forge a graphic link between
our often disturbing present and
more promising times — a brief
moment when it seemed as if an
American version of Camelot was
just around the corner.
The photographs that comprise
the exhibit were taken at a time
when it looked like the best was yet
to come. Taken after JFK was elected but before his inauguration, these
images capture an intimate domestic moment as seen through the lens
of the internationally acclaimed
photographer Richard Avedon. Organized by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History,
with the sponsorship of the History
Channel, the 27 black and white images were made in a single afternoon on January 3, 1961.
The assembled photographs
function collectively as a snapshot
of the emerging first family on the
brink of the inauguration — a
telling look into the lives of John,
Jackie, Caroline, and six-week old
John Jr. They combine to create a
graphic narrative that speaks of
promise for the future and the
warmth and strength of family connectedness; a story that is especially meaningful because we all know
how it ends — the aura surrounding
much-loved children, glamorous
parents, and their dreams for the future that Avedon captured that day
marked the beginning of a saga that
ended with devastating loss for the
family and for this country.
The exhibition was organized
by Shannon Thomas Perich, associate curator of the division of culture and the arts at the Smithsonian,
who concentrates on the history of
photography. She makes particular
note of the profound personal connection viewers make with the featured images: “These poignant and
stirring photographs never fail to
trigger memories, generate conversation, and make visitors recognize
that they, themselves, are part of
American history. If people are of a
certain age, they will recall where
they were when Kennedy was assassinated on November 22,
1963.”
Morven’s curator of collections
and exhibitions Elizabeth Allen
says that she is hoping that visitors
to the Kennedy exhibit at Morven
will share their feelings and their
memories as well. “We have added
an interactive section to the display. We want visitors to leave their
memories on a bulletin board. We
are hoping for recollections of
their own childhood, life in the
’60s, and their thoughts about JFK
and the day he was in Princeton
(Kennedy stopped at Morven for a
campaign rest stop between New
Brunswick and Trenton and met
with Governor Meyner in September of 1960.) We think there are lot
of people who remember that day.”
When all is said and done, Allen
says the assembled memories will
become part of Morven’s permanent collection — another chapter
in the Princeton story. “Once the
exhibition is down we will make
the bulletin board into a memory
book, and add it to our archives.”
Originally made for a photo-story
in Harper’s Bazaar, only six of the
images in the exhibit appeared in
that magazine’s February, 1961, issue. Those photographs, however,
combined with another Avedon series made that same afternoon that
ran in Look magazine, to become the
iconic imagery by which the country
identified the Kennedy family.
T
he inclusion of enlarged
contact sheets with the photographers’ notations turn the collection
into a brief lesson in the art of the
photograph and offer insight into
Avedon’s creative process. We are
able to see which images he chose
for the final cut along with those he
did not include, and consider his
choices. In addition, didactic panels enrich the instructive mix with
reference to retouching, dodging,
and burning — the photographers’
technical manipulation of the original images.
Richard Avedon (1923-2004) is
regarded as one of this country’s
most influential and innovative
photographers. Noted for his telling portraits of the great and famous, he has become almost as
well known as his subjects. He is
credited with reshaping fashion
photography, and was the model
for the photographer who was the
subject of the movie “Funny Face.”
In addition, the film “Capote” includes reference to Avedon’s collaboration with Truman Capote,
and recreations of his photographs
of “In Cold Blood” murderers Perry Smith and Richard Hickock.
Avedon won many awards for his
work, including the International
Center of Photography Master of
Photography Award in 1993.
Avedon used his camera to capture the soul of his subject. His portraits are easily distinguished by
their minimalist style, in which he
was able to evoke aspects of personality and feeling that others were unable to convey. In discussing his
own work the late photographer remarked on its complex nature saying, “A photographic portrait is a
picture of someone who knows he’s
being photographed, and what he
does with this knowledge is as much
a part of the photograph as what he’s
wearing or how he looks. . .Photography is a fiction. It’s lending yourself to the artist.”
The New York Times’s obituary
of Avedon made note of his impact
on the medium saying “Mr. Avedon
revolutionized the 20th-century art
of fashion photography, imbuing it
with touches of both gritty realism
and outrageous fantasy and instilling it with a relentlessly experimental drive. His fashion and portrait
photographs helped define America’s image of style, beauty, and culture for the last half-century.”
Avedon’s ability to make profound connections with his subject
is readily apparent in this exhibition. Many of the previously unseen images present the Kennedys
as a more down-to-earth family
than the larger-than-life, glam-

orous figures whose photos were to
appear in Harper’s and Look.
These photographs offer an intimate view of domestic connectedness: the bond between husband
and wife, the profound link between mother and child, father and
daughter, and the aura surrounding
happy children and loving siblings.

mages of Caroline are especially endearing. She is presented
as playful with her father, gleeful
by herself, and loving with her baby brother. The childish energy she
projected was even able to make
her father look relaxed — something that rarely happened when he
was in front of a camera.
Images of Jackie are particularly
telling. Avedon has caught her welldocumented elegance and sense of
style as well as her deep connections with her children. An image
with her infant son is a contemporary take on Madonna and Child.
Another in her pre-inaugural gown
is as elegant and glamour-laden as
Avedon’s finest fashion work.
Morven, which has played a role
in the history of the state and nation
for more than 200 years, is a particularly apt venue for this exhibition.
Built in the 1750s by Richard
Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the house
has had presidential connections
from its earliest days. During the
American revolution it was a gathering place for the social and political elite including Princetonian

Continental Congress. Visitors
have ranged from George Washington and James Madison to JFK.
Lady Bird Johnson rested there after helping start the national Head
Start program in Newark, and Jimmy Carter’s campaign for President received an important early
push at a Morven reception.
The historic house is now a museum that tells the story of its historic
past. Director Clare Smith says in
the next exhibition “we are going to
look at life in Morven over the years
with the family memorabilia of
those who lived here. We are planning, in conjunction with the Senior
Resource Center, to invite the governors and their families who lived
at Morven — the Hughes, Cahills,
Byrnes — to share their stories,”
says Smith. To that end she says
that they are seeking stories, local
memories, and significant objects
to include in the display.
Smith says the state also takes
center stage. “Our mission is to
showcase the cultural heritage of
New Jersey. It gives us a real breadth
of opportunities. All we need is a local connection. The Kennedy exhibit is an example of what we can do
with a local tie.”

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

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

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

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

Life in the Fast Lane
A
Edited by Scott Morgan
t long last, there are a
few nice words being said about
New Jersey’s industrial real estate
market. The market that has struggled with high vacancy rates over
the past 18 months has, according
to the latest report by Edison-based
realty firm Cushman & Wakefield,
showed renewed progress in the
first half of 2010.
Whether the shift can be traced
to more realistic landlord expectations, the state’s generally solid
commercial core, or anything else
is not yet known. What is encouraging, according to the report, is
that central New Jersey recorded
3.5 million square feet of new industrial lease deals — roughly
equivalent to the numbers from
one year prior — so far this year.
That’s encouraging because before
this latest look at the industrial submarket, each quarterly look over
since the end of 2008 have shown
declining occupancy.
Cushman & Wakefield’s industrial brokers closed 1.1 million
square feet of new industrial leases
around the state this year, the
largest in the central New Jersey
market being Suite K Value Added
Services Inc.’s 178,502-squarefoot lease at 120 Herrod Boulevard
in South Brunswick.
All is not glitter for central New
Jersey, however. The Exit 7A submarket, the industrial and warehouse cluster surrounding the New
Jersey Turnpike exit in Hamilton,
near Robbinsville, remains badly
wounded. A recent snapshot of the
submarket by the Wall Street Journal highlights a 905,000-squarefoot warehouse in Robbinsville
that has sat dormant since October,
2007, when Principal Global In-
Sunnier Skies Ahead?: Now that University
Square at Route 1 and Alexander Road is occupied there are no major empty office buildings in
Princeton. But optimism for a commercial real estate comeback must be tempered with the reality
that all markets still face hefty vacancy rates.
vestors acquired it for $58 million.
A building frenzy last decade attempted to cash in on a boom of
warehouse activity here, leaving a
glut of space no one wants now that
the market has bellied up. The
boom-to-bust event echoes what
happened to Princeton’s office
market in the early 1990s, when
development outpaced occupancy
and developers were left with a sea
of empty offices and buildings up
and down Route 1.
According to the Wall Street
Journal and real estate data firm
CoStar Group Inc., a full 48 percent of the 7.2 million square feet
of warehouse space near Exit 7A is
vacant, with an average three-year
down time. WSJ also states that
asking rents in this submarket have
dropped as much as 40 percent

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

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

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

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

n Saturday
evening, August 7, you
might have been one of the folks
enjoying the gospel music concert
sponsored by the West Windsor
Arts Council at the outdoor pavilion at the massive Nassau Park
Shopping Center on busy Route 1
— an unexpected venue for a music concert but a welcome change
of pace, I am sure, for many weary
shoppers.
Or — even more improbably —
you might have been in a canoe or a
kayak or a motorboat in front of the
O’Neils’ cottage on Wrighter Lake
in northeastern Pennsylvania, enjoying a “sunset concert” with a
flutist, violinist, and cellist performing on the dock looking out on
the lake where my family has had a
cottage for almost 50 years.
Either way, you might have
pinched yourself, looked at the
bright blue skies up above, and
said, “Wow, it doesn’t get much
better than this!”
At Wrighter Lake, where I was
ending a one-week sojourn away
from bustling Route 1, the sunset
concert was the brainstorm of Joan
and Roger O’Neil, an American
couple now living in England but
still maintaining their small summer cottage on the lake near where

Roger grew up. They had guessed
that — with weather cooperating
— the calm lake surface in the early evening would turn their dock
into a stage looking out on vast auditorium. And they wanted to encourage the arts community in this
slightly out of the way corner of the
world. On top of that, I suspect,
they may have wanted to substitute
— for an hour or so — the roar of
Unexpected arts

venues: Will the West

seal of approval?
motorboats and jet skis with the
strains of the strings and flute.
The weather cooperated. On a
perfectly still evening the motorboats retreated and a flotilla of 20
or 30 small boats gathered in front
of the O’Neils’dock. Another 20 or
30 people gathered on the lawn of
the cottage.
Midway through the concert,
somewhere between “Belle of the
Ball” and “Blue Tango,” pieces by
Leroy Anderson, another guest arrived: a three-foot tall blue heron
glided over the still water and up to
the shore. It poked along the shoreline, obviously looking for an
evening snack, and casually
climbed up onto the dock and over
to the other side. The trio played
on. Shortly after the second Anderson piece someone in the audience
yelled out, “The blue heron likes
the Blue Tango.” The heron mosied
on and eventually took flight, its
four or five-foot wing span quietly
propelling itself to the other side of
the lake. An unexpected guest at
this unusual event.
Up on Wrighter Lake the value
of a cottage may or may not have
gone up a little after that concert,
but the value of just being there
certainly increased. Who would argue with that?
