Run for Dad
A Big Success
I want to applaud U.S. 1 for its
excellent coverage of the annual
whites and Asians. But the good
news is that the death rate for
prostate cancer is going down; and
for all men diagnosed with prostate
cancer early, the five-year survival
rate is approaching 100 percent.
We are proud to be doing our
part promote the message that early detection saves lives. The net
proceeds from Run for Dad, over
$60,000, will go to the Central
New Jersey Division of the American Cancer Society, which will use
the funds for education, screenings, transportation for patients to
appointments, research grants at
Rutgers and Princeton universities,
and many other programs.
Run for Dad is an event where
everybody wins.

here seems to be someone in every crowd who spoils it
for the rest. In his June 9 Interchange column, Scott Morgan
talked about those who are cruising
on unemployment and abusing the
system. Yes, there are those few
taking advantage of the system in
this climate of high unemployment. However, there also are a lot
in the unemployed camp who are
doing what every member of society should do, employed or not:
pulling his or her own weight.
Recently finding myself “unemployed” or “in transition” or “up in
the air,” as Walter Verfenstein stated in his Interchange column on
(U.S. 1, March 3, 2010), I ask that
you do not lump me as one of the
spoil sports described in Morgan’s
article: “They’d rather collect unemployment than come back to
work.” I have not yet met any folks
who fall into that category. Instead,
I see people broken down by a broken system.
Some people handle this blow
better than others and see it as a
good time for change and an opportunity for a fresh start. For others, it
is harder to bear because they have
sunk their whole identities into
their jobs, have house payments to
make, families to feed, and college
tuition bills and car loans to pay.
For me, rather than throwing
myself a pity party, where I would
be the only guest and not have
much fun, I try to focus my energies in a more constructive vein. I
fill up my day planner with job
search activities and networking
meetings, and I make sure to “get
out there” once a day.
This is a great opportunity for
me to give back, too, to offer my
skills, knowledge, and experience
by volunteering for a worthy cause.

Unemployed? You Can Still Pull Your Weight
When the unfairness of it all visits,
uninvited (as it inevitably does), I
run five miles instead of sitting at
home in front of the television.
Does the system make it easy for
a recently unemployed person to
“collect?” No. Then again, I guess
the system is designed this way so
that unemployment compensation
is not seen as an appealing option
but, rather, like a reserve parachute
— a last resort to land on your feet,
not hover in the air and look down
at the scenery.
Everyone has to pull his or her
own weight in our society: the unemployed, the employed, employers, and the government. What is
on a slippery, declining slope in
this country is the lack of personal
responsibility, accountability, and
pride in our work. We need to stop
passing the buck and blaming other
people for our own faults, ignorance, and lack of thinking.
If we get struck by a car while
walking down the highway because we relied on some inanimate
software application instead of our
own gray matter, then we should
take responsibility for our own lack
of good judgment. We also need to
stop castigating those who do step
up to the plate and hold themselves
accountable and responsible.
If you are fortunate to have a
job, put your all into it and be proud
of what you do. Just because you
have a job, doesn’t mean you are
working. Taking advantage of sick
time and not working to your full
potential (e.g., slacker) is not
pulling your own weight in society
and it is an insult to the rest of us.
Do not stereotype all of us who
cannot find jobs as not trying hard
enough. I firmly believe “what
goes around, comes around,” so
now is the perfect opportunity for
Rather than throwing
myself a pity party, I
try to focus my energies in a more constructive vein.
you to reach out and help someone
not currently employed. You never
know when you might need a helping hand yourself someday.
The whole unemployment experience is degrading and demeaning. Especially in our materialistic
society, which places too much
emphasis on how much money to
make instead of how much goodwill to produce. You might earn a
sizeable salary, but are you proud
of what you do? If you are currently unemployed or in transition, pull
yourself up by the scruff of your
neck, and do the best that you can
to go at the search with full gusto.
Do not get lazy. Graciously accept any help offered along the
way. If your former employer offers outplacement services, take it.
I am pleased with the services I am
receiving from my coach and outplacement firm, Drake Beam
Morin.
Because
employer-provided
outplacement typically has an expiration date, you also need to augment this with another and free
service the state offers, which does
not come with an expiration date

The PSG in Trenton is a nonprofit,
volunteer group of professionals,
for professionals in transition, provided by the Mercer County OneStop Career Center and the state
Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The group’s
mission is “to provide peer support, assistance, and direction so as
to return skilled professionals to
the workplace in a timely manner.”
There are a slew of other free resources and networking opportunities offered out there. Your local library is a good start at finding the
right ones for you too.
Employers: just because the
way you terminate an employee
might be “legal” does not necessarily mean it is right. Yes, we are
faced with a bad economy. But
don’t use this as an all-too-easy excuse for conducting unfair and unethical termination practices. Take
the high road and remember the
Golden Rule. If you need help,
consider presenting your issue to a
kindergartner and enlist her counsel. Kids are often pretty wise and
will tell you exactly what you need
to hear.
Uncle Sam: People are supposed to work; employers are supposed to provide work and abide by
legal hiring practices; and you
should referee, holding the players
accountable and responsible, playing according to fair and legal
rules. Provide appropriate training
to your representatives so they
have the proper tools and professionalism to deal and interact with
those affected by unemployment.
State workers who represent and
are the face of the government on
unemployment issues: when the
volume seems too large some days
and you get a little impatient, remember — you have a job in these
tough times. Try to be more compassionate.
The experiences and empathy I
have gained in this process will remain with me and hold me more responsible and accountable for my
own actions. While I am thankful
that my reserve parachute has deployed, I am looking forward to
landing on my feet, on solid
ground.

We Need Housing, Not Lawsuits
S
by Dianne Brake
1, the so-called affordable housing bill that passed in the
Senate on June 10 and is now under
review in the Assembly, rashly
throws out the Mount Laurel Doctrine that made New Jersey’s affordable housing program a model
for the rest of the country. It will
lead to lawsuits, not housing.
First, it ignores the Court’s 1975
Mount Laurel decision, which was
about zoning. It said that because
zoning is a police power, local officials can only apply it to support
the general welfare. Like eminent
domain, zoning is something the
public has an interest in. We don’t
want local officials doing anything
they want with it. S1 takes local officials off the hook for equitable
zoning.
Second, it ignores the Court’s
1983 Mount Laurel II decision,
which said that sound state planning was required to make sure that
local planners will protect natural
resources as well as provide equitable zoning. This decision led the
Legislature to set up both COAH
and the State Planning Commission; the first to determine the regional need, the second to determine where new growth should go.
S1 ignores the fact that COAH
and the State Planning Commission were not allowed to function
effectively for the last eight years.
S1 ignores how well they had
worked prior to the last two administrations and dismantles COAH
and removes any role for state or
regional planning.
There is no time to continue
fighting over housing and planning
programs. We need housing now
and a great deal more. New Jersey
faces severe economic, fiscal, and
social challenges, with trends in a
downward spiral. To complicate
things, New Jersey faces build-out
in the near future — all its land will
be either developed or preserved.
We need a plan of action and we
need it now.
We need to re-concentrate jobs
and add market rate units to cities
and transit areas. We need to retrofit suburban employment centers
to become vibrant, mixed-use,
mixed-income destinations. We
need greater opportunities for
racial and economic integration.
And we can all use a better environment and more government efficiency. Integrated planning and
housing programs can do it all.
Cookie-cutter solutions, using
paltry set-asides in sprawl development, have no place on a landscape as complex as New Jersey’s.
We need the whole system working
to fix our problems. Then we can
add state incentives and developer
impact fees, when the economy
supports them again, to get even
better results.
We must decide what we want:
How much growth? Where? To do
what?
Sound answers to these questions can only be produced by
strategic and integrated land use
planning at the state and regional
levels, integrated with transformative targets for jobs, housing, transit use, reversing patterns of segregation and concentrated poverty,
and mitigating climate change.
Clear answers can be used to
hold decision-makers accountable
for reversing the downward trajectory of trends and putting New Jersey on track to attain a better future
for all. Here is how it can be done:
Step 1: Decide how much
growth is needed. There is plenty
of data to show us areas with challenges and opportunities. Because
Lawmakers forget
that COAH was a national model for affordable housing programs until it was
strangled in red tape.
of New Jersey’s complex landscape, different types and amounts
of growth will be suitable in different places. The “how much” will
be related to “what” New Jersey
needs to achieve to solve its problems and produce a better quality
of life in the future for all.
Step 2: Decide where growth
should go. The “where” will be related to existing conditions, as well
as the “what” we need to do: optimize transit use, protect water and
critical habitats, and increase racial
and economic integration.
Step 3: Decide specifically
what growth should do. In order to
drive change and accountability
for results, we need clear targets
for how many jobs and houses,
what kind are needed, where to re-
duce auto travel by how much, to
improve water resources by how
much, and to improve racial and
economic integration by how
much. Without transformative targets, we will continue fiddling with
the same programs and regulations
that caused the problems we have.
Step 4: Decide who will do what
to implement the plan. In order to
get the job done, we need assignments. Counties should be empowered to convene a Regional Action
Plan (RAP) process (see PlanSmart NJ technical services page on
our website for a description of
RAPs) with state and local officials
to result in a compact agreement on
the actions all parties (state, regional, county, local) will take to
meet the agreed targets. The compact becomes the basis for implementation, monitoring, and accountability.
The results? A single vision of
the future of New Jersey that reflects different conditions in different places and will serve to coordinate the implementation actions of
many separate agencies and decision-makers in their policies, regulations, and incentive and investment programs. This, in turn, will
lead to actions applied locally that
are appropriate to the place and
within the context of state and regional policy.
It should be done. It can be done.
It must be done.

f small businesses fail to leave
the right kind of paper trail when
hiring, managing, or firing employees, they may be setting themselves up to be defendants in a lawsuit. To protect against charges of
discrimination, companies need to
set down on paper their criteria for
hiring employees and the standards
by which employees will be
judged, promoted, and let go.
But creating the necessary documentation can be a challenge for
smaller companies. “In a lot of cases they are in growth mode, or just
setting up, and they haven’t sat
down and thought about standards,” says independent arbitrator
and mediator Lisa Charles of Labor Management Consulting Services based at her Princeton home.
“They are so focused on getting
people in and trained, they don’t
take the next step until there’s a
problem.”
Charles will present “Fair,
Square, and Legal: A Manager’s
Guide to Safe Hiring, Managing,
and Firing Practices,” on Thursday
evenings, July 1 through July 29, at
6:30 p.m. at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor.
Cost: $295. For more information,
call 609-570-3311.
Recruiting and hiring em-
ployees. “The first thing you are liable for is to make sure that the
process is fair,” says Charles.
“People can sue if they feel discriminated against in the recruiting
process.”
To protect itself, a company
should write down exactly what
criteria it uses when hiring for a
particular position. Of course the
documentation should include the
job’s title, salary, and requirements, but it should also indicate
who did the interviewing, who was
interviewed, and why the hiree was
selected from all who applied.
To be fair, each applicant should

of products produced in an hour or
a week. The accounting department may expect the books to be
closed every 30 days, with no more
than two errors. For customer service, an employee may be expected
to spend no more than a certain
amount of time on a call and to resolve problems a specific percentage of the time.
“There has to be something that
determines whether somebody is
doing a job well,” says Charles,
“and the management team is responsible for setting those standards.”
Firing employees. Eventually
everyone leaves, and the company
must document the circumstances
and conditions under which people
leave. If there is a reduction in
force, and the whole department
goes, that’s less of a liability problem, but if an employer decides to
lay off one person and not another,
the employer must be clear why.
“It can’t be, ‘I like this person
better,’” says Charles. “It has to be
that this person is more qualified
for what I need done, or has seniority, or some other criteria that can
be relied upon for the reason for
termination.”
Charles always cautions people
to vet a layoff list one extra time to
make sure that somehow the people are not, say, all over 50 or all
women. “If someone else can determine those types of patterns, the
employer leaves himself open for a
claim of discrimination,” she says.
Charles grew up in Lorain,
Ohio, where her mother was a
nurse and her father a laborer in the
steel mill. She earned her bachelor’s in journalism at Ohio State
University.
“My original idea was to be a
writer for a magazine,” she says,
“but after working for two years for
the school newspaper, I realized
the deadlines were overwhelming
for me.” Instead she decided to
move into human resources recruiting, which was a good fit for
the skills she had developed in
journalism — interviewing people,
assessing situations, making determinations, and writing them up.
Her first job was as a recruiter of
engineers, sales, and manufacturing personnel for InteCom, a telephone switching system company.
In 1987 she moved to Dow
Jones, where she started as a recruiter and assistant to a human resources manager and eventually
became director of human resources; her special area of expertise was dispute and grievance resolution in union and non-union locations.
Since 2008 Charles has been
self-employed as an arbitrator and
mediator.
A major lesson she has learned:
the only surefire way that employers can prove that they are acting
legally is to be able to explain their
actions, which requires some kind
of documentation. “You have to sit
down and have every department
come up with something,” says
Charles. “It doesn’t have to be volumes of standards. Even if you get
one or two things down, it can
grow or change as time goes on. It
doesn’t have to be elaborate; it
needs to be a start that people can
readily understand and measure
their progress against.”
— Michele Alperin
Using Theater
To Build a Team
S
ometimes the best way to
build team spirit is just to relax and
have fun, says Ruth Markoe,
founder of Theater to Go. Her company, a theater group with a twist,
offers corporate team building
murder mysteries and game shows.
Career Stages: Ruth
Markoe says theater
and play are ideal
methods for teambuilding.
And laughs. Interactive comedies “lighten the mood and help the
teams get to know each other in a
new way,” Markoe says. “We can
produce unique shows to reinforce
training seminars, tackle corporate
issues, promote team spirit, enhance problem-solving skills, and
promote new product lines.”
The activities are sometimes
light. Markoe has teams come up
with the paper airplane that travels
the farthest, for example. “We give
them three pieces of paper and
some tape,” Markoe says, “and
they have to work as a group to
come up with the best design.” She
did give a clue. “The design that always travels the farthest doesn’t
‘We can produce
shows to reinforce
training, tackle corporate issues, and promote new products.’
look like an airplane at all.”
Markoe has had a love of theater
since high school, she says, when
she performed in school productions. But when it came to getting a
college degree she took another approach. “I’m a pragmatist. I wanted to make sure I had a way to make
a living,” she says. She has a bachelor’s degree in speech pathology
from City College of New York,
and received her master’s degree in
communication disorders from the
Crystal Ball
a Little
Cloudy?
University of Wisconsin in 1970.
She describes her time in Wisconsin cheerfully as “during the tear
gas wars. At night the SDS would
come out to protest and then the police would arrive with the tear gas.
In the morning when we went to
class we could hardly breathe the
air outside our building.”
Markoe survived the ’70s, got
married, and moved to Seattle,
where she found a way to combine
speech pathology and her love of
theater.
In Seattle she worked in speech
pathology and became active in
theater, performing in plays of
Beckett, Moliere, Brecht, and Durang.
When she moved to New Jersey
in the 1980s she continued to pursue both passions. She still has an
active speech pathology practice
along with her theater career and
founded Theater to Go (originally
R and R Productions) in 1993.
She recently directed “Noises
Off” for the Bucks County Playhouse, and she is also active with
the Kelsey Theater at Mercer
County Community College,

T
Lt. Governor Guadagno to Speak
at Princeton Chamber Luncheon
Letter from the Chairman
W
hile the summer season
typically brings thoughts of relaxing
and taking a break from work and
school, the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce continues to be extremely busy planning a wide variety
of events and programs.
Mid-Summer Marketing Showcase, presented by the Bank of Princeton in partnership with Palmer Square,
has evolved into one of the most popular summertime networking events in
the region. This is a business-to-consumer event and there is no charge to
attend and have a good time. So why
not take a break and join us at this spectacular event, which will take place on
Tuesday, July 13, on the Green at
Palmer Square? There will be something for everyone, including music, a
variety of food tastings compliments
of our vendors, chances to win prizes,
and fun for all!
We are energized by our new affiliation with the Metropolitan Trenton
African American Chamber of Commerce and look forward to partnering
with this group on a variety of new programs and initiatives. Working together, the two Chambers will bring together their expertise to create a strong
and vibrant business support network
along the Route 1 Corridor.
The summer continues with more
attractive programs through the
months of July and August. We are
pleased to announce the Honorable Lieutenant Governor of New
Jersey, Kim Guadagno, as the
guest speaker for our Monthly
Membership Luncheon Meeting
on Thursday, July 8. Please join us
to hear from our Lieutenant Governor, New Jersey’s blueprint for
supporting the economic and business community.
The focus of our August
Monthly Membership Luncheon
Meeting is heathcare and we welcome John Eichert, Principal and
Founder of Rivermark LLC, as the
guest speaker. John, a healthcare
marketing and sales strategist with
more than 25 years experience, will
provide a fascinating background on
how his company uses social network
analysis to identify peer-to-peer physician learning networks. A special
highlight of this meeting will be the
participation of Chamber Member
nonprofit healthcare organizations that
will display their products and services.
It’s an exciting time to be a Member
of the Princeton Regional Chamber of
Commerce! Chamber President and
CEO, Peter Crowley, and his staff, under the guidance of the Chamber’s
Board of Directors, are continually developing new and innovative programs and initiatives to increase the

the people of New Jersey
elected Kim Guadagno as
the first Lieutenant Governor in our state’s history.
Lt.

Kim
Guadagno was born in Waterloo, Iowa, moving all
over the country as a child
before she made New Jersey

Mike, grew up in Monmouth
County, where they decided
to raise their three boys,
Kevin, Michael, and Anderson.
After graduating from
Ursinus College in 1980 and
then American University
law school in 1983, Kim began her public career as a
federal prosecutor, where
she earned a reputation as
being tough and independ-
ent. She started out working
in Brooklyn for the Organized Crime and Racketeering Strike Force. When Kim
married her husband they
decided they wanted to raise
their family in New Jersey
so she moved to the United
States Attorney’s office in
Newark.
After leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Kim went
on to serve as Assistant Attorney General, serving as
the Deputy Director of the
Division of Criminal Justice. After leaving the Attorney General’s office in 2001,
Kim continued her commitment to public service, serving on both the Monmouth
Beach planning board and
later as Commissioner from
2005 to 2007.
In 2007 Kim became the
first female Sheriff of Monmouth County. While Sheriff, Kim pursued an aggressive agenda to fight crime,
strengthen community outreach, and enact innovative
initiatives. Lt. Governor
Guadagno also taught at
Rutgers
Law
SchoolNewark from 2001 through
her election in 2009. Kim
Guadagno was sworn in as
New Jersey’s first Lieutenant Governor on January
19, 2010.

Five Ways to Go from Simmer to Sizzling Sales
A
s the summer heats
up, it seems that sales slow
down. Part of it is that people go on vacation. Part is
that we’re between spent
tax refund checks and the
year-end holiday season —
when consumer spending
picks up and businesses are
looking to spend whatever’s left in their budgets.
Still, that doesn’t mean
everyone has stopped buying. Here are five free ways
to heat up your summer
sales:
1). Stop by the Princeton
Chamber office at 9 Vandeventer Avenue and be sure
the brochure rack is stocked
with your promotional material. The Chamber gets
lots of walk-in traffic, people who just might be looking for you. A benefit of
Membership in the Chamber is the opportunity to display your information in
our office reception area.
Restrictions apply.
2). Take advantage of the
Chamber’s social media
and put together a promotion or event that can be
tweeted or posted on Facebook. Or perhaps offer a
summer challenge to see
what kind of response you
get from other Chamber
Members who read the
posts.
3). Bring your promotional materials to Chamber
events and leave them on
the Member Resource table.
In fact, if you’re a non-profit Chamber Member healthcare organization, call Deb
Kilmer at 609-924-1776
and ask her about having a
table at the August 5 Monthly Membership Luncheon.
4). Come to the MidSummer Marketing Showcase on Tuesday, July 13, on
the Green at Palmer Square
in Downtown Princeton,
with plenty of business
cards. It’s the only free net-
working event the Chamber
hosts throughout the year
and there will be plenty of
new faces there for you to
meet. The rain date is July
15.
5). Figure out who in the
Chamber you’d like to do
business with and find out
what committees they’re
on. Then join them. It’s a
great way to get to know the
person and it’s almost guaranteed that eventually the
relationship will lead to
more business for you.
If you’re not a Chamber
Member, here are five really
good reasons to join. Give
me a call at 609-751-6546
and we can talk about ways
the Chamber can help you
grow your business. Coffee
is on me!

Summer Arts: Chill Out with Music, Drama, and Film
by Susan Van Dongen
L
et’s say, just for purposes
of discussion, you’re at an age
when you need reading glasses and
you might have a bit more gray
hair. Or maybe you have a bit less
hair, period. That doesn’t mean you
don’t want to go out and have a
good time. But so much night life
and entertainment is geared toward
the very young, and the very casually dressed, you know, Those Who
Tend to Behave Badly.
DJ Shawn T., co-founder of
Philadelphia-based Ol’Skool Entertainment, sees something missing in
nightlife for the over-35 crowd.
That’s why his company puts on and
promotes events for mature but funloving people who haven’t forgotten
how to have a good time, and who
want to relax in style and see and be
seen without having to worry about
a fight breaking out.
One such sophisticated event
will be heating up the holiday
weekend, when Ol’ Skool presents
its Fourth of July Indoor/Outdoor
Summer Bash at the Hamilton
Manor in Hamilton on Sunday, July 4. With the theme of “Party Sunday, No Work Monday,” the Summer Bash will feature two DJs (including DJ Shawn T., a veteran of
radio, clubs, and social events)
spinning all kinds of great funk,
R&B, and old school hip-hop.
There will also be live music by
Delaware-based To The Max, as
well as Philly’s own band of musician’s musicians, the Urban Guerrilla Orchestra (UGO).
Dress is “summer casual,” but
definitely not T-shirt and baseball
hat casual. The dress code is something that sets Ol’ Skool events
apart, and Shawn T. is adamant
about setting the fashion bar higher. At age 40, he is mature enough
to remember a time when people
got dressed up to go out. We’re not
talking about tuxedos and tiaras,
just nice, tasteful attire.
“We try to emphasize that the
event is upscale and that means no
jeans or sneakers, no Timberlands,
no guys with their pants hanging
halfway off their (behinds), no girls
half-undressed,” he says. “Ladies,
you don’t have to be half-dressed
to look good in my opinion. If you
go to our website (www.olskoolentertainment.com) you’ll see what
we allow and what we don’t. We
stress ‘adult, summer casual.’
A press statement for the event
says: “‘Ain’t no party like an Ol’
Skool party cause and old school
party don’t stop’ is the phrase often
echoed by many African-American
baby-boomers in urban America.”
“Most older African Americans
don't like to go out because of this
type of atmosphere they have a fear
of getting hurt or having to hurt
someone in order to protect themselves and that to me is a shame,"
says DJ Shawn T. “I come from
Philly, and I’ve seen that if you’re
35 or older, there aren’t a lot of
places for you to go, for various
reasons. Our friends in this area
have said the same thing — they
see the same gap. When you’re this
age, you’re probably working and
when you have time off, you want
to relax; you don’t want to deal
with the nonsense when you go out.
There’s a hole in the community
for ‘adult events,’ and that’s where
Ol’ Skool comes in.”
Founded in September, 2008,
the company caters to the over-35
crowd (even over 75, Shawn T.
says) providing live entertainment,
networking parties, and social
events. For the Summer Bash,
there will be three rooms of festivities. Listen up for great oldies, with
line dancing and the Bop, “the official dance of Philadelphia,” Shawn
T. says. There will be lots of food,
drink specials, and a number of raffles, including tickets to see upcoming shows at the Robin Hood
Dell East (re-opening Monday, July 12, as the Dell Music Center).
Both live bands are high energy
groups that can handle a variety of
styles, but perhaps no one can shift
gears quite like UGO. That’s because the instrumentalists and vocalists have performed, recorded,
and toured with such musical legends as Quincy Jones, Aretha
Franklin, James Brown, Patti LaBelle, Boyz II Men, the Temptations, the O’Jays, the Stylistics,
Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin
and the Blue Notes, Michael
Bolton, Kool and the Gang, the
Ol’ Skool Entertainment sees something
missing in nightlife
for the over-35 crowd.
Roots, and many, many more.
Philadelphia is a city rich with musical talent, and the members of the
UGO — Philly natives and residents — are no exception.
I
n a phone interview drummer
Daryl “Kwesi” Burgee, vocalist
Lawrence “Weez” Newton, and
Henri McMillian Jr., who plays
lead trumpet and flugelhorn, reflect on their youth, when they saw
shows at the old Uptown theater in
North Philadelphia just about
every night and twice on Saturdays. They absorbed the music of
such soul and R&B greats as James
Brown, Gladys Knight, and
Smokey Robinson. This was their
musical education, and they still
pinch themselves when they think
about growing up to play music
with their heroes.
When he gets up in front of an
audience, Newton says he barely
has to think about how he will sing
or in what style. “Most of these
people (whose music we do) I’ve
seen in person, and mostly at the
Uptown,” he says. “We lived there.
We went to every show. I saw Patti
LaBelle when it was Patti LaBelle
and the Bluebells. I used to pretend
I was one of the Temptations.
“We saw these people as children
and then we got to work with them,
so we saw them from two different
perspectives,” says Newton. “We
would have these conversations that
were like an education. They would
explain how they made it, how they
performed on the Chitlin Circuit,
when there were just a few places to
play. They told me about being rich
and being poor.”
Burgee, who grew up with Newton, says the musicians all continue
to tour and expose themselves to all
different genres of music, which
keeps them fresh. Case in point:
Burgee had just arrived back in
Philly from the Bonnaroo festival
near Nashville, where he played
with Stevie Wonder. “I have been
playing drums since age five, and
by the time I was in high school, I
was already working professionally,” he says. “Then I moved to
Ghana for a couple of years and
studied West African drumming. I
loved the culture and decided that
would be my higher education.”
In addition to UGO and other
touring and studio work, he is a
member of the nationally recog-

nized Spoken Hand percussion ensemble. For all his talents and the talents of his fellow instrumentalists,
Burgee says musicians have to keep
doing live performances because the
recording industry isn’t nearly as
profitable as it used to be. “The music industry requires you to cover a
wide variety of music because
you’re playing at weddings, concerts, and corporate events,” he says.
“That’s how we honed the craft,
that’s why we can play music from
four different eras.”
“Even five eras,” says McMillian, one of UGO’s founding members. “If we’re playing a wedding
reception, someone might want to
hear something by Glenn Miller,
Frank Sinatra, or the Platters. And
then you might be asked to play
Bon Jovi or Journey. The main
song at a recent wedding was
something by (young singer-songwriter) Gavin DeGraw. We get all
kinds of requests, and that’s why
we can cover the gamut.”
Forty-some years of performing
all kinds of music has been McMillian’s college education, although
he is thinking about going back to
school to get a degree so he can
teach in the Philadelphia school
system. “We’re basically from the
school of hard knocks,” McMillian
says. “But when you’re 15 and
your high school music teacher is
setting you up to play (in the pit orchestra) for someone like Engelbert Humperdinck, why do you
need formal education? We learned
by doing.
“It’s great to be playing live for
people, and this party is going to be
reminiscent of an old style approach, maybe even based on the
cabaret style,” he says. “We developed a relationship with Ol’ Skool,
and people really responded to the
live music. That’s why this (July 4
event) will be so special. It’s an opportunity for mature people to come
out, put on their best clothing, and
have a good time without having to
worry about the environment.”

A Classical Trio So Cool You Can Take Your Teen
by Elaine Strauss
C
Vino e
lassically trained, the
Ahn Piano Trio devotes itself to
dissolving musical boundaries.
That mission has registered in the
non-classical world.
In 2008 the Ahn Trio was the only classical group invited to the
iTunes LIVE Festival in London.
Their successful tours with the
Czech rock band, Tata Bojs (pronounced Tata Boys) resulted in a
joint album, “Smetana.”
The Ahn Trio opens the fourconcert Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts series on
Thursday, July 1, in Richardson
Auditorium on the Princeton campus. Tickets to concerts in the series are free, but tickets are required. The Ahn Trio consists of
Angella Ahn, violin; Maria Ahn,
cello; and Lucia Ahn, piano. Maria
and Lucia are twins; Angella is
their junior by two years. They live
in New York City.
“We are not your traditional trio,”
Angella Ahn says in a telephone interview from her second home in
Montana. “We always felt that nothing was excluded. The Tatas are not
typical, either. They also feel that
there are no limits. From the moment we sat down, we clicked. Our
musical visions are similar.”
The oldest piece on the Princeton program of the Ahns is Leonard
Bernstein’s Trio for Violin, Violoncello, and Piano, completed in
1937, when the composer was 19.
“It’s a combination of pop and classical,” Ahn says. “Bernstein has a
bigger-than-life love and passion
for melody. He also has an amazing
sense of humor.”
Kenji Bunch’s “Danceband,”
the second composition in the
Princeton concert, a five-piece
suite, was written more than a generation later. Bunch, a classmate of
the Ahns at Juilliard, wrote the
piece for them; it was commissioned by Virginia’s Wolf Trap
Festival. “Kenji likes doing dances
of different styles from different
periods and different parts of the
world,” Ahn says. “‘Danceband’ is
as if you’re wearing a different costume for each movement. There’s a
slipjig, an Irish dance; a sarabande;
a backstep, an old-time Appalachian fiddle tune with open strings,
where the piano’s sound is muted
with a towel; a romantic 19th-century waltz; and a disco boogie.
“After intermission we’ll do a
group of shorter works,” Ahn says.
The selections include diverse
pieces from “Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac,” the Ahns’ latest
album. “The most magical thing
about music is that you are able to
play a huge array of music in different styles if you have the passion
for it. You don’t have to have listened to it since you were a baby.”

Ahn singles out a composition
by jazz guitarist Pat Metheny as
one of the ensemble’s favorite
pieces. “Pat has toured in Korea
and knows Korean culture very
well. He wanted to make it uniquely ‘us.’ It even has a Korean title,
‘Yuryung,’ which literally means

The décor was serene and inviting, nicely set for conversation as well as a good evening
of relaxation. The magical hospitality and continued hard work makes The Peacock Inn
a fine dining experience.”

“The newly refurbished Peacock Inn is just a delight – cozy, comfortable, and luxurious.
The new kitchen with Chef Manuel Perez turns out some of the most glorious

A Princeton Pianist on the Map
L
ast Wednesday, June 23,
pianist Soyeon Lee played in the finals of the Naumburg Piano Competition at New York’s Manhattan
School of Music. Friday morning
she sent out a “good news” email to
her webmail contacts announcing
that she had won first prize. By Friday afternoon, she was not answering her phone, presumably because
she was on her way to Finland to
open the Mantta Piano Festival.
Having won the Naumburg,
Lee’s velocity is likely to accelerate. As first prize winner in the
prestigious competition, she has
earned two New York recitals as
well as recitals in other United
States locations, and a cash prize of
$10,000. She will have to add the
Naumburg engagements to her
present schedule.
The 42 Naumburg competitors
this year, an international group,
ranged from ages 17 to 32. They
were required to present two fulllength recital programs and a piano
concerto. Second prizes of $4,000
went to Ran Dank, an Israeli, and
Alexandre Moutouzkine, a Russian. Christopher Guzman, a doctoral candidate at the University of
Texas, Austin, won honorable
mention and an award of $1,000. A
team of nine prominent musicians
judged the competition.
Created in 1925, the Walter W.
Naumburg Foundation aims to further the careers of young artists.
Founder Walter Naumburg, a
member of a New York banking
family, was an amateur cellist.
Originally a piano competition,
the contest has expanded to include
other instruments, as well as chamber ensembles, conductors, and
composers.
Robert Mann, the foundation’s
president since 1971, won the competition in 1941. “It was a big
help,” he says. Mann has been the
first violinist of the Juilliard String
Quartet. His wife, Lucy Rowan
Mann, is executive director of the
foundation.
Second prize
Naumburg winner
Dank joined Lee
in opening the
Mantta Festival in
western Finland
on Tuesday, June
29, with a Franz
Liszt transcription
of Ludwig Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 for two
pianos. On Saturday, July 3, both
Lee and Dank are
scheduled to play
solo groups of
pieces by Frederic Chopin. Mantta
is the only Finnish summer festival
devoted to piano music.
In an E-mail from Finland, Lee
writes: “I am just happy to have
won (the Naumburg) as this was
my last competition I planned to
do. The competition has an illustrious history, and I am excited to be a
part of it.”
Born in 1979, Soyeon Lee, the
daughter of two lawyers, began her
piano studies at age five in South
Korea. When Soyeon was nine, the
family began a five-year stay in the
United States while Soyeon’s father studied at West Virginia University. When she was 14, the family returned to Korea while Soyeon
stayed on to study at Michigan’s
Interlochen Arts Academy. Her sister, Soeun, three years her junior,
returned to Korea with the family,
and became a pop star. The sisters
have performed together in Seoul,
Korea.
Lee earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from New York’s
Juilliard School. While a Juilliard
student, she harvested a fistful of
honors and prizes, including the
William Petschek Piano Debut
Award, which made possible her
2004 debut at Lincoln Center’s Al-

W
ho’s the next Food
Network star? Trenton pork roll.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration, I
admit, but I am tickled that the editors of Food Network Magazine
picked my recommendation — the
Summit Diner’s egg, cheese, and
pork roll (a.k.a. Taylor Ham) on a
Kaiser bun — to represent New
Jersey in its current story on the
best breakfast in each of the 50
states. The editors had contacted
me back in January (I have no clue
how I was selected) asking for
three nominations for their July/
August issue, which is just out on
newsstands. But I jumped at the
chance to put one of our state’s gastronomic glories into the national
limelight. The editors were specifically looking for “dishes that are
memorable, wacky, locally-inspired, the kind of place locals are
fanatical about and where you’d
want to take your out-of-town visitors.”
Before I get to all three of my
picks and my reasons for choosing
them (after all, I can’t claim to have
eaten everything in every restaurant that serves breakfast in the entire state) I should confess that I
hadn’t even been aware that Food
Network had its own magazine. A
publication, moreover, that in only
one year of existence has become
the fastest growing food magazine
in the United States, with a circulation of 1.3 million. It was also nominated this year for the nation’s top
magazine award, the Ellie, presented by the American Society of
Magazine Editors. It lost to GQ but
was in the company of the Economist, Esquire, and Wired. And
when I went to purchase three
copies of the July/August issue at
Barnes & Noble in MarketFair, the
fellow behind the counter volunteered that his wife simply loves
the magazine — and that was be-

fore I even told him I had anything
to do with it.
I knew from the start that Trenton pork roll, New Jersey’s very
own salty/fatty breakfast meat,

nominees. I chose the Summit Diner’s sandwich, called the Slider,
because (a) diners are NJ icons —

number one in the nation; (b) the
Summit is housed in a vintage 1938
aluminum railroad-car style that
was made right here in Jersey by
the O’Mahony company — and the
decor has been kept intact; (c) owner Jim Greberis sources the Kaiser
rolls for his egg-cheese-Taylor
Ham specialty from a nearby bakery, and (d) he charges just $4.50
for the perfectly cooked combo.
(“Taylor Ham” is, of course, the
popular, widely distributed brand
of pork roll.)

Bill Smith’s most famous creation,
Cyclops Pancakes, for which he
pours a ring of batter (spiked with
rye flour, the secret ingredient) onto a hot griddle and breaks an egg,
carefully, into the empty center.
After it is flipped and cooked
through, the pancake-cum-egg is
dotted with butter and drizzled
with real maple syrup. The same
meticulous approach applies to
everything here, which is why this
diner won a James Beard “America’s Classics” Award in 2009 —
the first ever to go to a diner.

pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure that is comparable to being 33 to 45 feet under
the sea.
In fact, HBOT was first successfully used in the 1930s to
treat deep sea divers suffering
from decompression disorders
known as the bends. In 1965,
HBOT was found to aid healing
minors' burns - suffered during a
coal mine explosion - when the
treatment was given to them for
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Dr. Kulin Oza, Director of the
Advanced Wound Care Center,
provides the medical direction for
Hyperbolic Center and its team
of multidisciplinary specialists,
which includes physicians with
advanced training in wound
management and nurses skilled
in chronic wound care.
"The Wound Healing Center
provides HBOT treatment for
about four to eight patients a
day," Rauenzahn said. "We use
the treatment is used in conjunction with a complete wound-healing care plan."
Once in the chamber, the patient is given 100 percent oxygen
and the atmospheric pressure is
slowly increased. Air naturally
contains about 78 percent nitrogen and only about 21 percent
oxygen.
"The pure oxygen enriches
the blood vessels and helps promote healing," Rauenzahn explained.
The HBOT chamber is built
with the patient's comfort in
mind. With a 34-inch circumference, the patient can comfortably move around. And through
the clear acrylic side, the patient
can watch movies or television
on an overhead screen.
"The patient experiences absolutely no pain," Rauenzahn
said. "They might only feel a little
pressure in their ears, much like
what you feel when you take off
in an airplane."
A daily treatment of about two
hours continues for a week or
more, until the wound is sufficiently healed.
"St. Francis Medical Center is
committed to providing regional
areas of expertise and the Hyperbaric Center is another health
care premier service we offer in
Mercer County," said Jerry
Jablonowski, St. Francis President and CEO. "All of our service
areas of expertise bring the care

our community."

St. Francis Medical Center Operates Advanced Wound Center
hronic wounds present
such unique challenges
that most hospitals have
established wound centers to
treat them. St. Francis Medical
Center in Trenton is no exception.
"We take an innovative multidisciplinary approach to healing," said Beverly Rauenzahn,
Director of the Advanced Wound
Care Center at St. Francis.
Each month, the center treats
70 to 80 patients. Most have diabetes, which is notorious for
sometimes leading to chronic
wounds. Other patients are treated for chronic wounds resulting
from radiation treatment, which
sometimes causes delayed healing, skin grafts and other causes.
A major component of the
center is its Hyperbaric Center the first of its kind in Mercer
County - which opened in 2005.
The center features two hyperbaric oxygen chambers that are
used to treat the most difficult
chronic wounds, such as those
due to diabetes and vascular disease.
Once controversial, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) today
is not only widely accepted but
considered advanced treatment
for chronic wounds. The patient

My granddaughter, Margaret,
accompanied me to an Ahn performance in 1997, when she was
eight. We were both struck by the
fact that Angella’s skin seemed to
be sprinkled with glitter, and remember that she told us which gel
she used. Margaret doesn’t recall
the details but says, “I just remember that they were three young girls
who were really great performers. I
thought that the sparkles were
cool! I was eight then, and I am
now 21. It was a long time ago. The
fact that I remember anything is
impressive to me.”
Do the members of the ensemble ever disagree, I ask. Ahn
laughs. “We’re constantly arguing,” she says. We’re sisters.
“Maria is the most creative,” she
continues. “She’s our art director.
She’s in charge of images and pictures. She’s also the most creative

holds things together. She organizes everything in the right place.
She’s a little bit like me and a little
bit like Maria. She can switch.
Both of my sisters are definitely
more artistic than I am.”
I note that the members of the
Ahn trio are particularly stylish.
Angella is surprised. “Stylish?”
she asks. “I don’t see it, honestly.
As performers, for concert wear,
we want to portray ourselves in the
most professional, esthetically
pleasing way. We live in New York.
We’re not considered stylish except in the classical music world.”
Everybody with an Internet connection can have their own take on
the Ahns’ stylishness. Their MySpace stage is www.myspace.com/ahntrio. Their website is

trio can also be found on YouTube.

PREVIEW
Opera New Jersey Storms Out of the Gate
‘T
here are a lot of moving parts to an opera company,”
says Richard Russell, the new general manager of Opera New Jersey
(ONJ). “In my mind I see costumed
singers, moving and mugging for
dramatic effect; a conductor coordinates voices and instruments; the
lighting shifts and brings out subtleties in the costumes; sets change;
dancers dance. Suddenly, I know
that my mind has fed me only aspects of the performance. What
about publicity? tickets? ushers?
rehearsal space? housing for performers? selection of programs?”
All those parts come into play
during ONJ’s summer season in
Princeton. This year the company
puts on Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” Gaetano Donizetti’s “Don Pasquale,”
and Charles Gounod’s “Faust.”
“Giovanni” plays at McCarter’s
Matthews Theater Sunday, July 11
(2 p.m.), Saturday, July 24 (8 p.m.),
and Sunday, August 1 (2 p.m.).
“Pasquale” plays at McCarter’s
Berlind Theater Saturday, July 17
(8 p.m.), Sunday, July 25 (2 p.m.),
Friday, July 30 (8 p.m.), and Sunday, August 1 (7 p.m.). “Faust”
plays in McCarter’s Matthews
Theater Sunday, July 18 (2 p.m.),
Friday, July 23 (8 p.m.), and Saturday, July 31 (8 p.m.). ONJ partners
with the New Jersey Symphony
Orchestra (NJSO) in its productions.
And what about spin-off activities? Russell commands not only
the moving parts of the scheduled
operas but also the rest of ONJ’s
machinery, not only in summer but
throughout the year. A non-resident
Young Artist Program runs from
September to May. ONJ presents
programs in New Jersey schools
throughout the school year. Partnering with the Springpoint Foundation, ONJ presents programs at
senior communities. On the horizon for February is a performance
in collaboration with the NJSO of
Giacomo Puccini’s “Madam Butterfly” at major New Jersey theaters.
During the summer there are a
variety of events beyond the mainstage operas. An annual audition
day at the end of the season gives
members of ONJ an opportunity to
sing for around a dozen opera company executives, young artist program directors, and artist managers. Every year since its inception singers have gotten contracts
or management from this event.
This season, almost a score of
three-hour afternoon master classes, free and open to the public, focus on the nitty-gritty of singing. A
half dozen outdoor concerts bring
ONJ to various parks in New Jersey. A children’s opera camp culminates with a free performance of
Hans Krasa’s “Brundibar,” a fairy
tale in which two children defeat an
evil organ grinder (Friday, July
23). Two evenings of opera scenes
and arias feature excerpts from
opera (Tuesdays, July 20 and 27).
A premiere read-through of
Michael Ching’s “Midsummer
Night’s Dream,” takes place Satur-
by Elaine Strauss
day, July 24, and is free; Ching’s
“Buoso’s Ghost” was part of the
2006 ONJ season. NJSO and ONJ
join in a performance of Carl Orff’s
“Carmina Burana,” on Thursday,
July 22.
Russell moved from his position
at Florida’s Sarasota Opera barely
two months ago. Interviewed in a
practice room in Woolworth, the
music building on the Princeton
campus, he talks mostly about the
future. “I went into action about a
month before the season opened,”
he says. “It was already planned.
Mostly, I’ll observe, and start planning for next season.”
Despite presenting himself as a
spectator, Russell has had work to
do in his short time in Princeton.
“There were a few cast changes,”
he says. Summarizing them, he
gives a sense of his style as he tells
how he coped.
Probably his biggest task was
replacing the singer selected to
play Mephisto in “Faust.” Says
Russell: “The bass pulled out of
our production because he had a
chance to appear in Verona.” [The
festival in the Verona Arena is a
high-profile affair in the international opera world.] “If a great opportunity like that comes along,
you don’t want to block it.
“I knew singers in Sarasota and
called them. I knew the work ethic
of the person I asked to play
Mephisto. Luckily, people were
available.
“When it’s a short time frame,
I’m more comfortable hiring a
singer I know,” he says. “When
there’s not much time I want to get
somebody solid, who has experience with a role. I don’t have the
luxury of calling agents and saying
I want to hear 10 people. You can
do that six months ahead of time,
but not a month earlier.”
R
ussell has clearly solved the
problem of sudden cancellation before. “If there’s nobody I know, I
contact artist-managers,” he says.
“Sometimes they connect me with
people I know of or have heard
sound clips of. The best thing, of
course, is to hear singers live.”
Although I know that Russell
had no part in planning this year’s
summer opera program, I test him
by suggesting that the selections
seem to be very male-oriented: two
noblemen — Don Giovanni and
Don Pasquale, and, in “Faust,” a
devil and his dupe, both of whom
are men. He responds serenely.
“The range this year is big, musically, even if the material at first
glance seems to be male-focused,”
he says. “These are three diverse
operas. ‘Faust’ is serious; ‘Don
Pasquale’ is comedy; and ‘Don
Giovanni’ is ‘drama giocosa,’
something in between. ‘Don Gio-
vanni’ is classical; ‘Don Pasquale’
is early romantic; and ‘Faust’ is
grand opera.”
Finally, he points out, the
women come out well in all three
operas. “The women in ‘Don Giovanni’ ultimately are the winners,”
he says. “In ‘Don Pasquale’ the
woman overcomes the vanity of
the old man. In ‘Faust’ Marguerite
goes to heaven.’
For the future, Russell would like
to explore new material. “I want to
diversify and expand the repertoire,”
he says. “Till now the repertoire has
been relatively conventional. That’s
been appropriate. But I think an
American company should have an
American component.” He would
also like to incorporate stand-alone
concerts, recitals, and lectures in the
summer season.
Because he is general director of
ONJ, the buck stops at Russell’s
door both artistically and administratively. He is prepared in both areas; his administrative experience
at Citibank and Sarasota Opera was
grafted onto his training as a musician. “I am an artist,” he says.
“Even though I don’t raise my
voice on stage, I consider myself a
singer.
“It’s a challenge to have both responsibilities,” he says. “I find that
very exciting. Challenge is a great
energizer.” He foresees making a
difference in ONJ by bringing his
vision to both music and management.
ONJ came into existence in
2002 under the leadership of Scott
and Lisa Altman, who believed that
fiscal prudence was an essential ingredient in an opera company.
Scott Altman became general manager of Arizona Opera in Phoenix
in October, 2009.
“The Altmans did a great job of
creating the company,” Russell
says. “The next move is to make
ONJ a destination. Diversifying
the repertoire would appeal to
opera lovers from out of town.
Opera people travel to see good
opera. I learned that in Sarasota. An
opera lover might come to Princeton for a weekend, see three operas,
perhaps scenes from opera, and enjoy being here.”
The Aria of Change: Andrew Garland, left, sings
the title role in ‘Don Giovanni,’ and Jennifer Black
is Donna Anna. Richard Russell, above, is the
new general manager of Opera New Jersey.
He replaces the company’s founders, Scott and
Lisa Altman, who had led ONJ since 2002.
Russell has thought about the
steps needed to make ONJ a destination. “To achieve this vision,” he
says, “first we’ve got to create an
appealing product. Then we have
to tell public relations and marketing people about it. We’ll have to
work with hotels and restaurants to
create packages.
“I have a really good staff,” he
adds. “They can handle things for
me. We can work together to create
something pretty magical.”
B
orn in the Bronx, New York,
in 1962, Russell’s family moved to
Pearl River in Rockland County,
New York, when he was two. He
graduated from Nanuet High
School. His father was in advertising. His mother, jazz singer Marta
Hernandez, was a member of a
high school group hired by Nat
King Cole for the background of
his “Red Sails in the Sunset.” She
still lives in Pearl River.
“I discovered opera in fifth
grade, when I had a teacher who
loved opera,” Russell says. “That’s
why I have such strong feelings
about education programs. My
mother and I used to take the bus to
the Met.” His younger brother,
James Russell, is on the roster of
the New York City Opera Chorus
as a tenor.
After earning a bachelor’s degree
at Indiana University in 1984, Russell stayed on to earn a double master’s degree in voice and in choral
conducting in 1988. “In a lot of
small colleges, voice and choral
conducting are combined in one position. I thought that if singing didn’t work out as a profession, I would
look for a teaching job and would
have both arrows in my quiver.”
A tenor, Russell sang in regional
opera in Indiana, West Virginia,
‘The next move is to make ONJ a destination. Diversifying the
repertoire would appeal to opera lovers from out of town,’ says
Richard Russell, new general manager of Opera New Jersey.
Texas, New York City, and Sarasota, Florida. He sang at Sarasota
Opera for four seasons and completed their apprentice program.
Gradually, he drifted into banking.
“When I was singing, I started as
a temp at Citibank,” Russell says.
“They kept promoting me to the
point that I couldn’t say no. In 1998,
when I got married and was between singing jobs, they hired me
full time. I knew when I started at
Citigroup that I wanted to get back
into the arts. I figured I would go
back on the administrative side.”
By the time he left Citigroup,
Russell had been promoted to vice
president and global webmaster for
the company’s emerging markets,
sales, and trading division. In 2005
Sarasota Opera appointed him
their director of marketing.
He started a blog, “High and
Low Notes,” while still at Citigroup, subtitling it “Musings on
Music and Life and Whatever Else
Moves Me at the Moment,” and
maintained it during his work at
Sarasota Opera until his standards
dictated that he should stop. “This
will be my last post,” he wrote in
November, 2008. “As much as I
have enjoyed this, I just don’t have
the time to update as I should.”
Russell’s wife, Cynthia Bydlinski, a social worker, is finishing a
certificate program in expressive
arts therapy. The couple is happy
about the prospect of living in the
northeast, near their families.
Russell is both correct and approachable. He wears a suit and tie
when we meet, but his responses to
my questions are unbuttoned and
expansive. He has a quiet, confidence-inspiring energy. He seems
unflappable and calm, yet he enjoys novelty. It’s pleasant to note
that he’s human: answering a chain
of tedious questions about his early
life, his leg jiggles ever so slightly.
Clearly he is anxious to begin the
company’s second act.

longstanding feud between
Governor Chris Christie and state Chamber
of Commerce president Joan Verplanck,
right, has gone in favor of Christie.
Verplanck, roundly considered one of the
most powerful businesspeople in the state,
announced on June 24 that she will step
down as president as of July 31. In a statement, Verplanck said that she is “looking
forward to my first summer off in 32 years.”
She has been president of the state chamber
since 1995 and an executive with various
chambers of commerce most of her adult
life. “I am also looking forward to exploring
new opportunities as they present themselves in the fall,” she said.
But later that same night, at the state
chamber’s June 24 open house in Trenton,
Verplanck stated that after years of contending with breast cancer — she has had 37
treatments to keep the disease at bay — she
would like to explore new things. She also
denied that her exit has anything to do with a
sour relationship with the governor
The rift between Christie and the state
Chamber of Commerce has been anything
but secret. From the moment he announced
his candidacy, Christie made a public point
to say that he had no interest in making nice
with the chamber, nor Verplanck. Christie
snubbed her for his transition team in favor
of Debra DiLorenzo, president of the South
Jersey Chamber, upon election; then he
snubbed her by boycotting the state chamber’s annual bus trip to Washington, traditionally considered an important public debut for new governors in New Jersey.
On the record, Christie (Republican) stated that he was too busy to attend the bus trip,
but most pundits in the state acknowledge
the friction generated by the chamber’s support of former Democratic Governor Jon
Corzine’s candidacy. Verplanck, in fact, was
a leading candidate for lieutenant governor
under Corzine, before he sided with state
Senator Loretta Weinberg.
The Star-Ledger, which regularly reported on the growing distance between the governor and the chamber, has reported that
Christie has told state business leaders that
he could not be on friendly terms with the
chamber so long as Verplanck was in charge
of it.
Christie’s office has refused to comment
publicly on Verplanck’s departure.
For its part, the chamber has been supportive of the governor’s actions so far. In
April Verplanck wrote an op-ed piece published in a number of state papers that
wished Christie well in his plans for economic recovery. Before that the chamber
praised Christie’s 2011 budget proposal, as
well as his plans to cut $300 million from the
state’s debt. The latter piece was written by
chamber chairman Dennis Bone, president
of Verizon NJ.
When Verplanck steps down next month
Dana Egreczky, president of the State Chamber Foundation, will take over as acting
president. Bone has stated that the chamber
will begin seeking a permanent replacement
for Verplanck immediately.
Verplanck was the first woman to serve as
president of the chamber, taking over in
1995. Over her 15-year tenure she has built
her reputation through her advocacy of the

state’s ports and its education system, the
latter a favorite Christie target. She helped
create the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Foundation, which offers workforce
training and preparation to K-12 students.
She also served on several boards and
committees, including on the executive
committee of the U.S. Chamber Foundation
and Nation’s Port.
Prior to taking over at the state chamber,
the 64-year-old Verplanck was president of
the Morris County Chamber, and before that
in charge of chambers in Rhode Island.

Thomas Edison State College, a Trentonbased school specializing in distance education, has been spared from state plans to
merge the school with Rutgers.
Governor Chris Christie announced earlier this year that in his quest to cut at least
$300 million from the state budget, certain
state-run entities, such as the New Jersey
State Museum and TESC, might have to be
merged with larger operations such as Rutgers.
Part of the plan also was to deny TESC
any state aid, when in previous years the
school received roughly $5 million in annual support.
News of the potential merger of TESC into Rutgers set off a letter-writing and lobbying campaign to prevent the merger. U.S. 1
ran an Interchange by business editor Scott
Morgan on April 7, asking the governor to
reconsider.
Last week the state did reconsider. A revised version of the 2011 budget stated that

Dow Jones
Goes Solar
D
ow Jones broke
ground on June 21 on what is
to be the largest solar installation in the company, a 4.1
megawatt colossus on Dow's
200-acre corporate park in
South Brunswick.
Praised by state and federal dignitaries as a crucial step
by corporate America to help
ease the country away from
reliance on foreign energy
sources, the installation is also expected to be one of the
largest corporate solar structures in the country when it is
completed next year.
When it opens the installation will feature 13,000 solar
panels that are expected to
generate at least 15 percent of
the site's power needs, and
could generate as much as
half under the right conditions.
The system is being installed by SunPower Corp., a
San Jose-based solar firm
with a regional office in Trenton that has several Fortune
500 clients, including AT&T,
General Electric, and Sanyo.
The installation is financed in
part through PSE&G's Solar
Loan Program, through
which PSE&G offers loans
for solar power.

equips clients with cylindrical solar arrays, made in California by
Solyndra.
Some competitors are installing
LED (laser eliminating diode)
lights. “LEDs provide a better return than T-8s only in a refrigerated environment with minimal occupancy.
That’s because fluorescent
bulbs lose light in cold temperatures, and HIFs don’t want to be
turned on and off more than four
times a day.” Other competitors
aim to update an HID system with
replacement HIDs. “They don’t
save as much,” claims Tyrrell. “It
is hard to get the right amount of
light for less energy.”
Though Right Energies touts
Orion’s Fortune 50 clients on its
website, Right Energies currently
represents a very small piece of the
business for Orion. But, as a partner with Orion, it aims to grow exponentially. Currently the next
nearest Orion partner is in South
Plainfield.
Perhaps the best testimonial
comes from a potential big competitor, GE. As it turns out, GE is
not only the largest investor in Orion, but — in its own plants — it installs its own HIF bulbs in Orion
fixtures. – Barbara Figge Fox

Laser Energetics, a Hamiltonbased maker of laser processors,
has contracted with federal defense
contractor General Dynamics,
which will take over the manufacture of the Dazer Laser for Laser
Energetics.
The Dazer Laser is a non-lethal
laser that disorients and temporarily impairs the vision of an enemy
combatant.
The technology was announced
in 2008, but Laser Energetics was
faced with the expensive task of
building its own manufacturing facility for mass production — a task
that would have cost the company
millions.
Because General Dynamics will
now handle the manufacture of the
Dazer Laser, says Laser Energetics
CEO Robert Battis, his firm can increase production in step with demand. General Dynamics is, of
course, no stranger to mass production.
The firm has supplied U.S. and
allied military services with technology, equipment, and weapons
— most notably the F-16 fighter
jet, which became the most-pro-
duced NATO jet fighter of the Cold
War. It is still in operation in several air forces globally.
“This is one of the most important business developments in the
history of our company,” Battis,
said. “It’s rare that a company of
our size has the privilege to partner
with a leading defense company
like General Dynamics.”
Battis said the deal will enable
Laser Energetics to close sales with
militaries and law enforcement
agencies around the world much
more quickly and efficiently.
Monetary terms of the deal were
not released.

In the span of a week NRG Energy, headquartered at 211
Carnegie Center, has made two
deals to expand its renewable power portfolio in the Southwest.
On Monday the company announced it would buy nine solar
development projects in California
and Arizona from U.S. Solar. Financial terms of the deal were not

portfolio
amounts
to
450
megawatts of solar energy.
The sites are expected to operational by the end of 2013. This
brings the scale of NRG’s underdevelopment solar projects to
1,150 megawatts.
On June 14 NRG closed on its

Pharmaceuticals for $68 billion.
Wyeth owned Fort Dodge.
Shortly after the acquisition
Pfizer announced it would close its
newly acquired facilities in South
Brunswick. The facility, gradually
moving its operations elsewhere,
fully closed earlier this month.
Founded in 1912 and a division
of Wyeth since 1945, Fort Dodge
manufactures and distributes prescription and over-the-counter animal medicines and healthcare
products for livestock and companion animals. Present in more
than 100 countries, the company
ranked first in veterinary vaccine
sales in North America at the time
of its acquisition.
Pfizer now controls Fort
Dodge’s lines of canine, feline,
equine, and bovine biologicals,
along with several other products
in the development pipeline.
The closure takes 95 employees
from Princeton Corporate Center.
Fort Dodge is now known as Pfizer
Animal Health, based in New
York. It can be contacted at 800366-5288.
Out of Business
Gallery 125, 125 South Warren
Street, Trenton.
After six years, Gallery 125 has
closed. The gallery, which featured
several shows a year, announced
last month that it would close by
the end of June. The gallery finally
its doors on June 26.
Opened in 2004 as a nonprofit
exhibition space by the Trenton
Downtown Association (its operator until the end) and the defunct
Trenton Arts Connection, Gallery
125 has faced a rough economy
and flagging interest in downtown
Trenton in the past few years.
Added to that is a steep cut to the
TDA’s funding. The TDA manages
several downtown arts and cultural
enterprises, most notably the Capital City Market festival held every
June and Patriots Week, which
commemorates Trenton’s Colonial
heritage the last week in December.
With several projects to fund
and the specter of a $300,000
shortfall in its future, the TDA decided last month to close the space.
The space itself was intended to
stimulate cultural interest on and
around Warren Street, near the oldest part of the downtown and close
to historic sites such as the Old
Barracks. In 2005 Gallery 125 received a citation from the State
Council on the Arts for its efforts to
ramp up interest in Trenton.
TDA board president David
Henderson told the Times of Trenton last month that the intention
was never to run a gallery
longterm. Rather, he said, TDA developed the gallery in an effort to
“spawn development in the hotel
district and along Warren Street.”
The TDA is not out of the art
business yet, however. It will continue to manage Studio@219, on
East Hanover Street, where it owns
a building featuring artists’ studios
and arts organization offices.
Vehicular Homicide
Amy Locane-Bovenizer, 39,

a fatal accident on Cherry Valley

most famous for her role on the television series “Melrose Place,”
rear-ended a car and drove off
while that car’s driver called the
police. The man followed her to
Cherry Valley Road, where, police
said, Locane-Bovenizer slammed
into the passenger side of a car
turning into a driveway, killing the
passenger and injuring the driver.

Survival Guide
“People think that Kelsey is just
a student theater, but it is so much
more,” she said. “Not only do they
do great student productions they
also have professional productions as well.”
The right program for the
right team. When it comes to corporate team building productions,
Theater to Go has several productions to recommend. She particularly likes to use a play titled “We
the Jury.” The production is a live,
audience participation jury trial in
which the guests are sequestered
over dinner to determine the guilt
or innocence of the suspects. The
guests are divided into teams to
hear the evidence and question
multiple suspects charged with the
same crime, and after deliberation,
decide on the guilt or innocence of
the suspects. Each suspect is tried
independently by his or her own
jury.
Another favorite team building
production is the game show format in which groups must work together at a variety of games. “The

American Game Show Challenge”
is a series of fun trivia contests and
physical challenges. Some of the
games include Whirl of Fortune;
Note for Note, where teams guess
the names of songs from movies,
theater and television; and Tick
Tack Trivia, where the teams answer questions in a giant game of
Tic Tac Toe.
Markoe customizes each show,
adding in a few names and facts
from the group involved. “For instance in the game show we sometimes do a baby photo game where
the teams must identify the baby
pictures of some of the heads of
their corporation or of the group,”
she says.
Educating while entertaining.
Theater to Go has also developed
special educations productions.
For several years the production
company worked with the national
Fire Department Instructors Conference as its creative partner in the
production of entertaining instructional training vignettes that addressed significant issues faced by
firefighters.
But whatever the show chosen,
Markoe says the members of the
team are sure to let their hair down
once it begins. “Sometimes there
are better ways to develop a tighter
bond in a team than traditional
problem solving. We allow the creativity to flow,” she says.
And since every team building
performance that Theater to Go
produces is light and tongue in
cheek, “it helps people who only
meet in the workplace to look at
each other in a different light.”

thanks in part to a persistent financial advisor, Jim McLaughlin,
then of Merrill Lynch,
Olsen had sold most
of the stock he was allowed to at
the earliest opportunity. “There I
was, having cashed out for a big
pile of money. . . I can’t tell you
how difficult it was to present a
production worker who had shown
up every day and worked hard with
that kind of bad news. These were
salaried people with kids in college, trying to make ends meet.
Now they had to find some other
way to support their family.”
So much for the “easy” money
that Olsen lucked into.
But some things have been easy,
and that’s one of several “takeaway” business lessons gleaned
from the Olsen book. For example,
he writes that “all the best hires at
Sensors . . . wanted to sign on just
as badly as I wanted to hire them. .
. . That’s the way it should be. If
you have to work too hard to hire
someone, bend the salary rules,
give extra bonuses, spend a lot of
time convincing them to come . . .
then it’s probably not gong to be a
successful hire in the long run.”
Other Olsen rules:
“Sometimes you’ve got to lose
to win. You have to give up a little,
or pull back from your own demands, in order to get where you
want to be.”
“When you tell people bad
news, you should also give them a
solution. Never go to your boss and
say ‘I have a problem.’ Instead, say
that you had a problem and here’s
how you are fixing it or have fixed
it.”
“People either have the desire to
succeed and the will to make it happen or they don’t. . . . I don’t know
of a single example of a company
that has thrived solely because its
technology was better. But there
are plenty of examples of companies that were successful because
they had better people and stronger
business execution.”
“It’s as simple as that. Business
really is that simple.” And, I would
add (at the risk of sounding enthusiastic), sometimes business is
simply exciting.

ournalists, to
their detriment, easily
get jaded. I was reminded of that
the other day, reading Greg Olsen’s
new book, “By Any Means Necessary! An Entrepreneur’s Journey
into Space.”
You know Greg Olsen, the
Sarnoff guy who founded Epitaxx
in 1984, sold it in 1990 for $12 million; then started a company called
Sensors Unlimited and sold it for
$600 million or so; then bought it
back for $6 million and then resold
it for $60 million in 2005. At that
point he wanted to try something
different. So in 2005 he paid $20
million or so to become the third
private citizen to travel into space
to the International Space Station.
When Olsen’s book came out,
chronicling his life story, I figured
no big deal. Not only are we jaded
but we are also clever by a half. Instead of just telling the Greg Olsen
story (haven’t we done that already?), we told the book’s story of
how Olsen and his co-writer, Tom
Lento, had to take the route so
many other authors now have to
take to get their book self-published after the established publishing industry deemed it not
commercially viable.
But we did do one smart thing.
We invited Olsen and Lento to an
authors reception. And to prepare
for that gathering I decided to shed
my jaded affectation for a moment
and actually read Olsen’s book.
I’m glad I did.
The book begins and ends with
scenes from Olsen’s rocket ride into space. And, yes, since I am a little jaded about space travel I began
in the middle, with Olsen’s working class upbringing in Bay Ridge,
Brooklyn, Ridgefield Park, and
even a stint in northeastern Pennsylvania (not far from the god-forsaken route I take to reach the cottage on the lake). The launchpad of
Olsen’s career is a mediocre high
school record and a chance encounter in the registration line for
incoming freshmen at Fairleigh
Dickinson. Olsen ended up standing near some foreign students
who were older and more serious
about their studies. He became part
of their study group. From there he
was propelled into graduate school
in South Africa, then the University of Virginia and a career that began at the RCA Labs in Princeton,
now the Sarnoff research center.
In orbit with Olsen were people
such as Vladmir Ban (a co-founder
of Epitaxx), Steve Forrest, Marshall Cohen, Henry Kressel, Jim
Carnes, Kurt Carlson, and Ed
Zschau, people who would be a
part of any definitive history of the
advancement of technology in the
greater Princeton business community.
At the U.S. 1 party Olsen (looking in the direction of senior writer
Barbara Fox) graciously acknowledged the many stories U.S. 1 has
rein@princetoninfo.com
devoted to high tech companies in
the Route 1 corridor and noted how
valuable that coverage had been.
But as I read his book (and reconsidered my jaded point of view), I
realized that we had only scratched
the surface of Olsen’s endeavors.
When Olsen’s second company,
Sensors Unlimited, spawned in the
same Princeton Service Center
space that was home to Epitaxx,
When Olsen’s Sensors Unlimited was
sold in October, 2000,
for $600 million it was
big news. But I don’t
recall any of us following the story that
evolved, including
layoffs at Sensors
just a year later.
was sold to Finisar in October,
2000, for $600 million worth of
stock it was headline news for all
the media. But I don’t recall any of
us following the story that quickly
evolved. By February, 2001, Sensors got the first inkling of trouble.
Lucent wanted to postpone an order of fiber optic components for a
week, or so. A week led to a month
and then a realization. The orders
for the products that Lucent was
making had failed to materialize.
The fiber optics boom of 19992000 had become the bust of 2001’02.
“That’s when reality hit our employees in a way they never anticipated,” Olsen writes. “Just nine
months after they were celebrating
their good fortune in owning so
much valuable stock, they learned
the wisdom of the old broker’s
adage: don’t count your money until you sell your stock. I had some
very sorry people in my office, including big, grown men with tears
in their eyes. They’d hung onto
their stock when it was sinking,
without understanding the tax consequences . . . They found out too
late that they were taxed on the
price of their stock option when it
was exercised (that is, when they
actually got the stock), not on the
greatly diminished value they got
when they sold it.”
B
y the fall of 2001, a year after the euphoric acquisition, Sensors had bottomed out. “Laying off
nearly 50 people — just about a
year after our acquisition by Finisar had brought in all that money —
was the worst experience of the
whole Sensors Unlimited story.”
Making it more difficult was that,
