An Invitation From MAYOR ROBERT L. BOWSER & THE EAST ORANGE CITY COUNCIL FEATURING: 141South Harrison Street A 10 Story Office Tower Penthouse & Lower Level (Basement) DATE: Thursday, July 27, 2006 @ 11:00 a.m. PLACE: East Orange City Hall Council Chambers, First Floor 44 City Hall Plaza, East Orange, N.J Minimum Bid - $500,000.00 Registration Daily from June 26th -July 26th (During Business Hours) Corporation Counsel’s Office

For further information visit the City’s W ebsite at www.eastorange-nj.org

Dear Prospective Bidder:

I am pleased to invite you to participate in my Administration’s 18th Public Property Auction. This auction is quite special because the property for sale is a historic gem that once housed a five-star dining room atop the plush Suburban Hotel.

I, along with the members of the East Orange City Council, welcome your interest as a potential owner and developer of this important East Orange treasure. This impressive structure is conveniently located between two of our major business districts: Central Avenue and the Main Street/Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevards, just a few blocks from the Brick Church-Midtown Direct Train Station. In addition, the site is favorably situated in a proposed new redevelopment area, Evergreen Square, right around the comer from the recently-renovated Hollywood Multiplex Theater with its now-famous “East Orange Walk of Fame.”

As you may be aware, East Orange is located at the “Crossroads of New Jersey”, at the intersection of the Garden State Parkway and Route 280. Our easy accessibility to major transportation arteries, along with bus and train services to Manhattan, Newark, and Jersey City, provide a strong incentive for businesses and homeowners to reside in our City. The train station and highways are conveniently located just a few blocks from the location of the building presented for bid.

For additional information, please feel free to contact William McNeely, Aide to the Mayor, at (973) 266-5447. I encourage you to be a part of the progress by taking advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to purchase and rehabilitate this landmark property, and I look forward to seeing you at the auction on July 27, 2006.

Sincerely,

WORRALL NEWSPAPERS WWW.LOCALSOURCE.COM THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2006 — PAGE 13 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Life isn’t so safe in the ‘Dark Part o f the Forest’ By Ruth Ross Correspondent Every child deliciously scared by fairy tales knows that terrible things happen to children who venture from home into the deep, dark forest: they get lost or are kidnapped, are pushed by witches into ovens, are boiled or even killed. Modern psychologists have seen such tales’ dark forest as a metaphor for the dark unconscious where people hide their secrets, fears or desires that cannot stand the light of disclosure. Both views of the forest inform “Dark Part of the Forest,” a play by Tammy Ryan now receiving its world premiere at the aptly named Premiere Stages on the Kean University campus in Union. This psychological thriller chroni­ cles the story of Joan, a protective mother who has moved to an isolated house in the forest one hour west of Pittsburgh in an effort to save her 12- year-old daughter, Emily, from the perils of guns, drugs and the emphasis on looks prevalent in the city and to salvage her failing marriage to Bill, an air traffic controller. In Premiere Stages’ production of ‘Dark Part of the Forest’ Emily, played by Sarah Hyland, Joan has second thoughts about the and Joan, played by Toby Poser, have heated words after Emily tells her mother she’s “safety” of country life when Emily going to a sleepover with her new friends at a family cabin, even though two girls have brings news from school that the sec­ been kidnapped, raped and murdered recently. ond girl in six months has disappeared well-written dialogue naturally and the lines as Joan, Toby Posner is ery and ability to recite and act some from the bus stop, only to be found convincingly. attractive and sympathetic as the once- very mature material without awk­ raped, murdered and buried deep in The impending doom is further fearless teen from Queens who used to wardness or self-consciousness. the woods.
