Local scout troop to celebrate a half century of service By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
Five decades of service to Hillsborough Township and its surrounding area will be celebrated by past and present members of Boy Scout Troop 1776, as officials gear up for this year’s 50th anniversary celebration. Generations of scouts and troop leaders and their families will gather at Camp Dewitt on June 17 and 18 to reminisce and interact with the today’s group of scouts.
“I am excited about meeting past scouts from many years ago, Senior Patrol Leader Scott Torzewski said. “I also look forward to the stories they have to share and the traditions we still continue as a troop today.” When Troop 1776 was formed back in April 1967, officials said the first group consisted of five scouts. Since that time, the troop has been sponsored by the Neshanic Reformed Church. Today, the troop boasts a roster of over 50 boys and 40 adult leaders, with weekly meetings still
held at the Colonial-era church. Officials said the unit’s identification number, 1776, also holds special significance with the troop, as they are regularly connected to yearly activities commemorating the country’s storied history, such as marching in the Neshanic Station Memorial Day Parade. During the 50th anniversary weekend, troop representatives said the event will be designed with the family-friendly activities in mind. Meals will be provided and activities are being planned,
including lashing demonstrations, family games, campfire skits and rocket launches. Included in the weekend’s events will also be a flag ceremony, which will feature Troop Militia and Drum Corps demonstrations. Scouts, leaders and their families can arrive on Saturday, June 17 and campout overnight if they choose. Organizers of the event said they were hoping to double the attendance of the 25th anniversary celebration that was held back in
1992 and had nearly 200 people attending. “It will be a great time to bring old friends together to reminisce about the fun times that were shared, and to get acquainted with the current group of scouts and leaders,” officials said in a release. When it’s all said and done, attendees will be able to participate in a group photo to commemorate the milestone. Anyone current or former members of Troop 1776 can go to the troop’s website, bsa1776.org, to register for the event.
Field hockey league grows, brings sport to new audience By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
A relatively new youth sports organization is looking to bring Hillsborough’s girls into the world of field hockey as early as five of six years old for the second consecutive year. Registration is ongoing for the Hillsborough Jr. Raiders Field Hockey Feeder Program, which aims to introduce the game to a new generation of players and potentially nurture a growing interest in the sport. Tara Romano, the program’s director, said the prospect of bringing girls field hockey to Hillsborough’s youngest athletes was an opportunity to introduce them to something that boys regularly get to experience. “Field hockey is one of the only female-driven sports that I am aware of in our township,” Tara Romano, the program’s director, said. “Yes, we have soccer teams, yes we have cheerleading, but we don’t have many offerings for the girls in the township - especially in the fall. It’s usually very football-focused or boys soccer.” For the uninitiated, field hockey can simplistically be described as a combination of soccer and hockey that has players using a stick to move and eventually shoot a ball into the opposing team’s goal. According to Romano, the Hillsborough Jr. Raiders Field Hockey program began in 2015 when then Girl Scout Emily Van Pelt started offering field hockey clinics as part of her Gold Award requirement. As those clinics gained traction and the community saw an interest in its youth, discussions surrounding a potential township league began to take shape. Though there seemed to be interest, there were no nearby
leagues that offered a chance for the township’s youngest athletes to participate. That lack of options is what led the Hillsborough teams into a collaborative effort with the NJ/PA Field Hockey League, which is situated in Warren County. Thoush many of the league’s teams are located in municipalities like Fords, Lebanon and Readington, Romano said the league was more than willing to collaborate with the Hillsborough teams and keep them playing close to the township. “With the collaboration, everybody has been learning from each other. It’s just tremendous,” Romano said. “Between families, players, coaches and the high school team, the cooperation has been tremendous.” Within the league, regular clinics are offered to girls in kindergarten and first grade while league competition exists for grades 2-6. As a result, Hillsborough joined the league with three teams: a k-2 team, a grades 3-4 team and a grades 5-6 team - though the latter two teams were split into two additional squads thanks to high turnout. This year, Romano said the program has grown even more, with considerations being made for another team for grades 5-6 and the potential for a grade 7-8 team to help complement the Hillsborough Middle School team, which can only take so many players. “What I’ve been told is that girls who can’t find a spot to play usually drop the sport and then never reenter it,” she said. “With this program, the longevity of our players staying in the sport almost triples.” As a feeder program, girls who come out of that environment are usually encouraged to join the middle school and high school teams. As such, Romano said the

Members of the Hillsborough Jr. Raiders Field Hockey Feeder Program touch sticks before a game. The organization has grown to nearly double its initial size back in 2015, with registration for 2017 ongoing. Hillsborough High School field hockey program has jumped onboard and begun providing special camps and clinics for the younger girls. Some of the schools’ players have also come on to help parentcoaches as assistants. With plans for the league to kick off in the fall, the Jr. Raiders Field Hockey program is spending this summer gearing up for those games. Romano said each team will have two practices a week with one game on Sundays. Going into its second year, Romano said the program has already garnered the support of its returning players.
“We’re really happy with this program. We’re a bit of the low man on the totem pole in the town, but we’re trying to make our mark,” she said. “Our numbers and the kids coming back are proof that the program was a huge success last year.” Ultimately, Romano said the program is more than just a chance for girls to take their love of a sport onto the field. It’s a social and mental boost as well. “We’ve had girls come out last year and they were new to the sport and new to being on a field. We had girls who never really found their niche in life and it
turned out to be a real confidence booster,” she said. “Relationships were formed, friendships were formed and that probably wouldn’t have happened without this program.” Registration for the program is going on now and is open to anyone in Hillsborough and surrounding municipalities. Early Bird registration will continue until May 10, with signups ending on June 7.

Volunteers recognized by township officials By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
The volunteer efforts of more than 20 Hillsborough residents were recently recognized for their contributions to the community as part of National Volunteer Month. During the April 25 township committee meeting, the governing body took time to commemorate the ways that some spent their time bringing “imaginative ways to engage” in their town.
“We thank all of our residents who volunteer their time and talents for the community,” Mayor Carl Suraci said during the meeting. First established by President Richard Nixon in 1974, April was designated as National Volunteer Month in order to entice people into a life of volunteerism Throughout the month, a number of service projects were conducted throughout Hillsborough by various volunteer groups.
Suraci said the effort was a way to show how “an entire community can inspire, equip and mobilize people to take actions that change the world.” According to the New Jersey Governor’s Office of Volunteerism, the state currently has 1.5 million volunteers working more than 170 million hours of service each year. This year, the township’s honorees worked with a number of local organizations, including

Susan Spagnola, of Duke Farms. Donna Hands, Jay Spagnuolo, Linda Mackie, Robin Kimmelman and Wendy Holt were also recognized during the meeting, but were not in attendance to accept. In related news, Edward “Eddie” Wasser was also recognized by the township committee for his nearly 30 years of service in the building department. According to Suraci, Wasser began his career in Hillsborough back in June 1989 when he signed on as a building inspector. Through his “teamwork, dedication and superior work ethic,” the mayor said Wasser was able to move up to the position of assistant building subcode official.
Wasser has recently been battling illness, which his family members said has sidelined him and caused him to spend frequent time in the hospital. Throughout his 28 years of service, Suraci said Wasser became well known for his willingness to work with residents and their applications. “In fact, one resident wrote that Eddie helped them for five hours to understand the process and submit a complete application,” the mayor said. Over the years, Wasser became a member of the Central Jersey Code Officials Association and the New Jersey Building Officials Association, where he served on multiple subcommittees.

TOWN FORUM 4A

SOLUTIONS Huck Fairman
A week after Earth Day, and Princeton’s participation in the national March for Science, a second march, or walk, took place, the Walk for Our World’s Green Future. Many of the concerns of marchers in the two events overlapped, but this walk focused on climate change, our environment, and what people can do. Starting in the D&R Greenway Land Trust’s parking lot, just off Rosedale Road, and winding up to Stockton Street, past the Battle Monument, to Hinds Plaza, the crowd gathered to hear Mayor Liz Lempert and Climate Central’s Chief Meteorologist Bernadette Woods-Placky remind them of what’s at stake and why their participation is so important. (On the walk itself, many passing motorists tooted their support.) Following the rally in the plaza, Sustainable Princeton and C-Change Conversations provided information inside the library about climate change and what residents can do. Walkers came from the Princeton area, all over New Jersey, and even as far away as Portland, Oregon. And many seemed wellversed in the issues and the solutions. Here are a few of their thoughts and motivations: Fred White hoped that the presence of the walkers would help political representatives recognize the importance of climate change. Additionally, he hoped the walk would help spread a feeling of respect for wildlife, increase the awareness of melting glaciers and the repercussions, and stimulate people to leave the planet as close as possible to its condition that we inherited. Joyce Copleman of Lawrenceville said that she was disturbed by what the new president is doing to the earth. In contrast, our policies need to reflect a healthy, natural balance. Two friends, Ann and Valerie, urged that if everyone did simply one thing each day, our environment would benefit. Valerie wished that our leaders (outside of Princeton) would see all the movies on the environment and climate change - which would greatly enhance their awareness. Brian brought his family because it is important, he said, that we address climate change for our children and grandchildren, and that people, governments, and businesses need to make decisions with the long term in mind, not simply the short term. David Pelovitz of Lawarenceville has grown increasingly worried about our environment, as his home has recently been redesignated as being located on a floodplain. Carey and Anne from Hopewell hoped that the walk would increase awareness of climate change and help people recognize that New Jersey, as recent storms have shown us, is on the front lines of climate change. Jeff of Princeton believes in preserving our environment and hopes that more aware policies will be the way of the future. Scott Sillars hoped that the walk would remind the public to take climate change seriously, to do something in response to it every day, but also to enjoy the opportunity to be engaged in what may be the most important issue (among many) of our time. David Atkins noted that the walk was yet another example, even a celebration, of how the new administration in Washington has stirred people to get involved, to join efforts to enact sensible, crucial polices. Bea and Judy Hertzberg believed that the walk was important as a demonstration of the numbers of aware citizens who are part of a wider environmental, and even political, movement.

STATE WE’RE IN Ever wonder how New Jersey towns like Marlton and Marlboro got their names? Look no further than “marl,” a soil also known as greensand. Marl deposits date to the time when the southeastern half of this state we’re in was the sea floor, and greensand was deposited in coastal bays and freshwater river mouths. The marl contains fossils of ancient shelled invertebrates and freshwater and marine forms of every vertebrate group - fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and even primitive mammals! Colonial-era farmers discovered that marl - which contains clay and calcium carbonate - made great fertilizer. Many marl pits were dug in the narrow geographic band now known as the Inner Coastal Plain. Greensand was sold to farmers all over New Jersey and beyond. Marl pits contained more than fertilizer. In about 1838, a farmer in Haddonfield, Camden County, spotted gigantic bones in a sand pit on his property. Two decades later, fossil hobbyist William Parker Foulke heard about the bones while vacationing nearby. Foulke called in his friend, paleontologist Joseph Leidy, and hired a crew of diggers. They excavated the bones of an animal larger than an elephant, with structural features of both a lizard and a bird. The fossilized bones were the world’s first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton. The dinosaur died along the shallow coastline during the Cretaceous period 65 to 145 million years ago and sank to the bottom, where its skeleton fossilized in the greensand. The creature was named Hadrosaurus foulkii after Foulk and Haddonfield, and was the first mounted dinosaur ever to be displayed to the public when it was put on exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in 1868. Nearly 160 years after the dinosaur dis-
MICHELE S. BYERS covery made Haddonfield the birthplace of American paleontology, the Garden State is still rich in fossils. “New Jersey is a great place to be if you’re a paleontologist,” says David Parris, paleontologist and head curator of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton. The state’s most productive fossil region is the Inner Coastal Plain, which runs from Raritan Bay to the upper reaches of the Delaware Bay in Salem County. During the Cretaceous period - when New Jersey was located much closer to the equator, the Earth was warmer and sea levels higher the Atlantic coastline was located there. Thanks to their ancient history, the sediments of the Inner Coastal Plain contain fossils of both sea creatures like mosasaurs and giant crocodiles, and land creatures that lived in swamps on the edge of the continent, like the hadrosaurus. Two Inner Coastal Plain sites where land has been permanently preserved are especially good for finding fossils. The first is within Monmouth County’s Historic Walnford Park, preserved with the help of New Jersey Conservation Foundation in the 1970s. The dig site, called Ellisdale, is yielding thousands of fossils of all sizes, from large to microscopic, all being studied at the New Jersey State Museum. The second is the former Inversand Quarry in Mantua Township, Gloucester County, where mosasaurs - ancient sea lizards resembling Komodo dragons - were excavated. Thanks to donors, Rowan University purchased the quarry in 2016. It is now called the Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park and is available to Rowan students as well as schools and individuals attending “Community Dig” days. The former quarry must be continually pumped to keep out water, but the marl there is so soft that paleontologists can dig

with a garden trowel rather than having to chip through rock. Due to suburban development, the site where “Haddy” the hadrosaurus was discovered is no longer a viable dig site. In fact, its exact location was lost until 1984 when a local Boy Scout named Chris Brees used old maps and Joseph Leidy’s descriptions to rediscover it. Thanks to Brees’ Eagle Scout project, the site is marked with a plaque commemorating its amazing history. If you want to learn more about New Jersey’s Inner Coastal Plain and the fossils discovered there, take time to visit the New Jersey State Museum. Among the exhibits are a full-size hadrosaurus, made from casts of the original bones excavated in Haddonfield in 1858, and a giant crocodile from Burlington County just found in the last couple of years! You can even watch as scientists carefully remove this fossil crocodile from the rock in which it is embedded. The original Haddonfield dinosaur is kept at the Academy of Natural Sciences and is too fragile to be displayed.

Many options for the intellectually curious High school students in New Jersey can sit at home on their computers and take courses such as Medical Neuroscience from Duke University, Introduction to Computer Science & Programming from M.I.T., Understanding Research Methods from The University of London, or Particle Physics from The University of Geneva. These are just a sample of the thousands of college courses that are offered through online services from many of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the U.S. and 28 other countries. Students are typically able to explore lectures and non-graded material at no cost. However, there is often a charge if students submit assignments to be graded or if students want to receive a certificate upon completion of a course. Five years ago, edX.org was founded by Harvard University and M.I.T. as an online learning destination to offer high-
quality courses from the world’s top universities. It brags that it now offers more than 1,300 courses and has students from every country in the world. A similar online learning destination is coursera.org which offers more than 2,100 courses. Among the most popular topics are: Computer Science, Business, Data Science, Physical Science & Engineering, Social Science, and Arts & Humanities. Both of these online sites host courses in English, Spanish, French and Chinese, and offer Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced level courses. These courses can be extremely beneficial to high school students who are trying to identify a potential college major. By taking an online course in a field of possible interest, students can assess whether or not they enjoy the particular course of study and whether or not they seem to have a natural talent to succeed.
Immersing themselves in these courses, whether taking Game Theory from Stanford University, Algorithms from Princeton University, or Quantitative Methods from the University of Amsterdam, is a sure way for college bound students to add an impressive element to their college applications. Colleges and universities greatly value the quality of intellectual curiosity and will take special note of students who took courses, outside of the required high school curriculum, on their own personal time. Susan Alaimo is the founder and director of SAT Smart in Hillsborough that has been offering PSAT, SAT, and ACT preparation courses, as well as private tutoring by IVY-League educated instructors, for more than 20 years.

Medical Neuropathy Treatment Resolves Burning, Tingling, Pain & Numbness The Neurogenx Nerve Center of Princeton now provides a proven BREAKTHROUGH neuropathy treatment proven to help 87%* of patients: • Reverse nerve damage • Grow new, healthy nerve fibers • Reduce or eliminate neuropathy symptoms
NO Pills - NO Surgery NO Physical Therapy NO Pain Management Just RELIEF! What DOCTORS are saying about treatment with Neurogenx “As a neurological surgeon I have been trained to fix things with operations. For me, it initially seemed like a crazy idea that electrical stimulus treatment would help the body to heal itself. I read all the scientific reports I could find and was still a skeptic. Then I saw how well some patients did. After treatment with Neurogenx, some people have been able to give up their wheelchairs and walkers because they regained
Our medical providers are passionate about what they do and our patients are excited about the results they’re getting. Many patients report being pain-free for the first time in years!
Can you imagine that for yourself? Do you suffer from: • Pins and needles in your feet or hands • Burning foot, leg, hand or arm pain • Numbness • Difficulty walking or loss of balance due to numbness • Sharp, stabbing or electric-like pains in your feet or legs • Inability to sleep due to painful feet or hands • Cold-feeling feet, legs, hands or arms
varying degrees of sensation and pain relief. I am not claiming this is a cure for paralysis, but Neurogenx is definitely a viable neuropathy treatment where other options have failed.” - Steven Weinshel, MD, JD Princeton, NJ “Extremely effective . . . markedly improves pain and quality of life without the side effects of drugs.” - Richard Jacoby, DPM Scottsdale, AZ
What PATIENTS are saying about treatment with Neurogenx
This treatment is for people who: • Have neuropathy due to diabetes • Had chemotherapy • Have chronic spinal nerve pressure • Haven’t had a proper diagnosis • Are tired of taking medications that aren’t working • Are afraid their neuropathy is getting worse • Who want results, but aren’t getting any
“I have Happy Feet!!! Finally after 16 years I found a treatment that works. I have been coping with neuropathy as a result of Chemotherapy. After my first treatment I left the office noticing a slight difference, but saying to myself “that’s not possible”. But it was! I had suffered with neuropathy for so long that I had accepted the discomfort as a way of life for me. When I began to concentrate on what was happening in my feet, the realization allowed me to know that the treatment was indeed working. The tingling and numbness are now gone.” -M. Hatcher
“I feel a huge amount difference! I came in because my quality of life was not
there due to neuropathy. Before I started treatment, I could not walk across a parking lot due to so much pain in my feet. I’m now experiencing relief. My quality of life is better. Neurogenx has given me hope. If I had to do it over again, I would because it’s worth it.” -D. Kirsch “The pain and throbbing in my feet is gone! After the first treatment, I felt some relief. After the second, I felt more relief. By the third treatment, my pain had subsided completely.” -T. Dolkowski “I have an increase in balance and muscle strength. I can now walk more easily on the beach and sand.” -R. Hubler

Sally Struthers has a
The TV legend is coming to the Bucks County Playhouse By Keith Loria for a mysteriously funny show ith two Emmys to her name and roles on two of Time magazine’s Top 100 TV shows of all time (“All in the Family” and “Gilmore Girls”) Sally Struthers is an actress people of all generations seem to know. “People used to say to me after ‘All in the Family’ was finished, ‘You got the brass ring and that doesn’t happen in many people’s careers, and you’re very young but probably the rest of your career will be downhill,’” Struthers says. “But then ‘Gilmore Girls’ came along and I feel like I got the brass ring again because that writing was superb.” In addition to her notable roles as Gloria and Babette in the aforementioned shows, Struthers has achieved a long list of acting credits in TV and theater throughout her more than 47-year career, including everything from “General Hospital” to Marc Maron’s show on IFC, to doing voice over work for “The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show.” This month, the veteran actress stars as Mrs. Peacock in the world premiere of “Clue: On Stage” playing at the Bucks County Playhouse through May 20. Based on the classic board game and the 1985 movie, “Clue” is a comedy whodunit that aims to keep audiences guessing, and laughing. The story revolves around the death of Mr. Boddy, who on a dark and stormy night, is murdered by one of six colorful characters who are attending a dinner party at his home. “All of the board players are covered in the show,” Struthers says. “Early in the show, Mr. Boddy gives each of us a gift and inside is a weapon, and they’re the standard ones from the game. There are nine rooms on the stage and it’s just controlled mayhem.” “Clue: On Stage” is based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn with additional material by Eric Price and Hunter Foster. Foster, who often directs at the Playhouse, has a long history with Struthers. “About 23 years ago I was cast in the national tour of the Broadway musical, ‘Grease,’ and was working with a whole bunch of young people — all of them in their younger 20s,” Struthers says. “I was out with them for three years and that experience bonded all of us in a way that I had never bonded with a large group before. All of those kids called me ‘Mom’ — I was Mother Struthers to all of them. Hunter Foster and Jenn Cody married not long after the production and I’ve stayed in touch with them all these years.” Foster contacted Struthers last year to tell her he was doing a workshop of “Clue” and that he wanted her to be a part of it.
“I had played the board game my whole childhood with my sister Sue and my cousins John and Betsy, so I know the game really well,” she says. “He asked if I had seen the movie, but I hadn’t, so he sent me a script. To tell you the truth, I didn’t like it. It wasn’t funny and it didn’t grab me.” Foster assured Struthers the script was going through a rewrite and would be funny, and she trusted him and accepted the part. “On April 2, I showed up in New York and we had three weeks of rehearsal and when we all read it around the table the first day, it had changed dramatically for the better,” she says. “It was hilarious and it got more so as we rehearsed it. Now, I’m very excited I am in it because I think it’s going places.” The show also stars Erin Dilly as Mrs. White, Kevin Carolan as Colonel Mustard, Brian J. Carter as Mr. Green, Clifton Duncan as Professor Plum, Lindsay Nicole Chambers as Miss Scarlet, Carson Elrod as Wadsworth and Claire Simba as Yvette. The cast also includes Cassandra Dupler and William Youmans playing multiple roles. “There’s not a rotten apple in this barrel and I can’t say that for all the productions I’ve done in my life,” Struthers says. “This group is all sweethearts and we’re very supportive of one another.” The set was designed by multiple Tony-nominated set designer Anna Louizos, and it’s the biggest, heaviest and most expensive set that’s ever been put on the Bucks County stage. “It’s formidable. It’s its own character,” Struthers says. “And we go into all nine rooms through a series of screens that slide in and slide out. For the most part, we move around the stage in a clump, taking the same amount of steps at the same time, turning our heads at the same time, gasping at the same time, it’s just fascinating.” Struthers says she’s having a blast with the show and is so happy to be a part of it. She believes that “Clue” will be a big hit and will connect with people of all ages. “Most all of us of a certain age have played the game Clue, or saw the movie, so I think there’s an interest built into that,” she says. “The show’s a lot of fun and I’m sure audiences are going to have a good time watching their favorite Clue characters come to life.”
“Clue” continues at Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, through May 20. Tickets cost $40-$75; buckscountyplayhouse. org; 215-862-2121.

Life, Love and Middle Age George Street Playhouse closes out its longtime home with ‘Curvy Widow’
F
or its final show in its longtime home on Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, George Street Playhouse is promising the kind of show its audience just loves. “Curvy Widow” is a musical by Bobby Goldman, inspired by her experiences after her husband, the writer James Goldman, died. Bobby found herself in a spot she never expected to be in, and that experience allowed her to tell the kid of story that isn’t often told. She first adapted her experience into a one-woman show, “Curvy Widow,” (Cybill Shepherd starred in a San
Nancy Opel stars in “Curvy Widow” at George Street Playhouse. Francisco production in 2008) about her experiences re-entering the dating scene. She then turned it into a musical, which premiered in North Carolina last year. The same creative team behind that North Carolina production is bringing “Curvy Widow” to George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, through May 21. “This is a show about a woman who finds herself suddenly widowed and she’s trying to figure out what she’s going to do with the rest of her life,” says Nancy Opel, who is playing Goldman in the show. “When you have an audience base of a lot of subscribers, which George Street has, luckily, there are a lot of people who are experiencing very similar things in their own lives, or certainly know a lot of people who are experiencing those things in your life.” Opel has appeared at George Street a few times before, most recently in the hit “Toxic Avenger” in 2008. She says that after the North Carolina run, she thought the show’s next stop should be at George Street. “It went so well, we said, ‘We need to find another home and keep working on this,’” Opel says. “And it just so happens, amazingly, we were able to get in at the end of the season here at George Street. George Street is kind of a favorite place of mine.” Artistic Director David Saint says George Street’s audience is one that appreciates a comedy, particular those that touch people emotionally in addition to making them life. “My audience, I know they want a heart in the piece,” Saint says. “Whether it’s a drama, a comedy or musical,
there has to be some heart, someone they can get behind and someone with whom they can identify or emphasize. That’s sort of been the mantra for me in searching out new works.” Opel’s Broadway credits include “Urinetown” (for which she received a Tony nomination), “Sunday in the Park with George,” “Memphis,” and “Honeymoon in Vegas.” Also in the cast as Alan Muraoka (who plays Alan on “Sesame Street), Elizabeth Ward Land, Ken Land, Aisha de Haas, and Andrea Bianchi. Opel says she appreciates a chance to play the kind of character who is often ignored, someone who is middle aged and trying to figure out what to do after her life is rocked. “It’s all about saying ‘Gosh, I’m alone — do I feel lonely, and if I do, what do I do about that, and how do I pick up the pieces and move on?’” Opel says. “There are some touching moments in the show, and there’s an awful of comedy and there’s a lot of talking about sex. And let’s face it, there aren‘t a lot of people talking about middleaged sex — in a musical.” “Curvy Widow” also marks George Street’s last production in its current theater space. A new theater center with two spaces, one with 450 seats for musical and larger shows, and one with 275 seats for more intimate plays. The project, which is reported to cost $167 million, will be in the location that is currently home to George Street and Crossroads Theatre. It also will include rehearsal studios, academic space, residential space and residential apartments. Saint says keeping things intimate was a major goal in designing the new theater space. “I think that’s what makes things so special at George Street, you feel like you’re right a part of the play,” he says. “Originally, as is the case with most architects, they said, ‘Oh we’ll build you a beautiful, new 1,000-seat theater.’ And I said, ‘No, no, you do that and we’re dead.’” The new space is expected to be ready for the 2019-20 season. For the next two seasons, George Street’s plays will be presented at Rutgers. And as exciting as the future is, saying goodbye to George Street’s current home will be difficult. Saint is in his 20th season there and has worked with such legends as Uta Hagen, Arthur Laurents and A.R. Gurney in that time. “It’s going to be very bittersweet leaving, because I’ve had so many great memories with so many great artists over the years,” Saint said.
“Curvy Widow” is at George Street Playhouse, 9 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick, through May 21; georgestplayhouse.org or call 732-246-7717.

IN CONCERT By Mike Morsch
Keeping the Faith Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles and Poco will make a stop at Havana in New Hope
A
fter the demise of Buffalo Springfield in the late 1960s, members Richie Furay and Jim Messina, along with the band’s road manager Rusty Young, decided to start a new group, a Southern California country rock band they called Poco. But they needed a bass player. At the time, Timothy B. Schmit was in a Sacramentobased band called the New Breed, which had changed its name to Glad and was recording the album “Feelin’ Glad� in 1968. “I had a friend, this girl, who knew some of the guys from Buffalo Springfield. She put it in their ear that I was around, and I auditioned for them,� Schmit says. “They seemed to really like me and they asked me to come back in two days. It turned out they had somebody else come in the following day.� That somebody else was Randy Meisner, and he got the job playing bass for Poco. Schmit believes he didn’t get the job for a couple of reasons, primarily because Young, Poco drummer George Grantham and Meisner were all from Denver, and they already knew each other. “The other thing was, there was a Selective Service issue on my part. So it was questionable as to whether I would be available,� Schmit says. After Poco’s first album, “Pickin’ Up the Pieces� which was released in 1969, Meisner quit the group and the band immediately called Schmit to be its new bassist. “It was exactly what I wanted to do at the time and it was doubly sweet because I had been originally turned down for the gig,� Schmit says. “I thought that it was my one and only chance to really do music at that level and that I blew it.� It would not be the last time that Schmit would replace Meisner in a band. In 1977, it happened again, when Schmit replaced Meisner as the bassist for the Eagles, just after the band had completed its tour in support of the “Hotel California� album. All of that Poco and Eagles history will be on display May 11 at Havana in New Hope, Pennsylvania, when Schmit performs a concert in support of his sixth solo album, “Leap of Faith.� The tour, which began in mid-April and includes 17 dates, is winding down. The New Hope show is among the final three solo dates for Schmit before he takes a week off, then goes straight into rehearsals with the reunited Eagles,
Timothy B. Schmit is touring in support of his new album, and is making a stop at Havana in New Hope. Next up is rehearsals for two major concerts with the Eagles, for whom he’s been the bass player since 1977. who will be part of the Classic shows July 15-16 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and July 29-30 at Citi Field in Flushing, New York. In addition to the Eagles, the shows will also feature Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Journey and Earth, Wind & Fire. And no, Schmit isn’t saying at this point who, if anyone, is replacing the late Glenn Frey for the Classic shows. Schmit is still concentrating on finishing up the solo tour and exposing fans to the “Leap of Faith� album. “My show is mostly my last two albums, and I sprinkle it with my history,� Schmit says. “But I’m fortifying this show with a little more Poco this time because I think there are a lot of people in the area who are Poco fans.� Schmit said he doesn’t have any illusions about making a hit record these days.
“I write what I write, I record the songs and I enjoy it,� he says. “It’s my creative outlet these days.� Like “Leap of Faith,� Schmit believes all his solo albums have been leaps of faith. “You put stuff out there and you hope that people like it,� he says. “I know I like the album and that’s really what matters more than anything at this point in my career. I want to keep going. I feel like I’m getting better and better at it and I’m enjoying touring as a solo artist. I didn’t start that until later in my career, within the past 10 years.� For an artist who has played the biggest venues in the world, Schmit welcomes the opportunity to be up close and personal in more intimate venues, like Havana. “When it’s my show and I play in these smaller places, it’s very different. Sometimes people are sitting right at my feet,� he said. “They’re very close. It can be a little more intimidating. It’s almost easier in some ways to play for thousands and thousands of people than it is to play a smaller place. It’s like you’re in someone’s living room and I enjoy that. But I enjoy the big venues, too. I’ve been lucky to have had all of it.� As for the Classic concerts, Schmit says that he and the remaining Eagles — Don Henley and Joe Walsh — have already decided that Frey is irreplaceable. “We’ve already gotten together to sort of hash things out and get a general outline of how this is going to go,� he says. “We’ll have some people come and play with us and then we’ll sort of outline it in a meeting. I’m looking forward to seeing how this all goes.� Whether it’s touring in support of a solo album or reuniting with the Eagles for a couple of what are — at this point — big one-off shows, Schmit is still having fun. “That’s really what it’s all about,� he says. “A lot of people ask me if I have any advice for their sons and daughters who are trying to do this, because it’s kind of a crapshoot on how well you’ll do popularity-wise. For various reasons, there are a lot of people who have a ton of talent who is just doesn’t work out for. So I just tell them to make sure that wherever it takes you, let it take you. Keep the fun in it. Remember why you started.�
Timothy B. Schmit will perform at Havana, 105 S. Main, St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, May 11, 8:30 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.havananewhope.com or call 215-862-5501.

Your choice of such a beautiful Inn with its early American charm and ambiance, located in historic Cranbury was perfect! All of our food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. I personally have never had such a wonderful Champagne Brunch (10:30am-2pm). I later heard from Aunt Alice that the Innâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special Dinner Buffet (started 3:00 pm) was superb. The staff and management as usual were attentive to our every need. This day will always be remembered. Thank you again for your love! Love, Mom 609-655-5595 4PVUI .BJO 4USFFU r $SBOCVSZ /+

STAGE REVIEW
By Anthony Stoeckert
‘The Explorers Club’ ActorsNET of Bucks County is getting lots of laughs with a very English comedy
T
hings have gotten ridiculous at the Heritage Center Theatre. That’s because ActorsNET of Bucks County is staging “The Explorers Club,” a wonderfully silly and hysterical play. It’s the kind of show where five educated men pray for a guinea pig who was eaten by a snake in front of the Queen, who was slapped by a blue jungle man. Perhaps some context is needed. Nell Benjamin’s play is set in London, 1879. The esteemed Explorers Club is holding its annual meeting, which begins with a song and a toast to science (the first of many). The meeting is being led by Lucius Fretway (D.J. Holcombe), who is the acting president. He proudly announces that two members of the club have an audience with the queen — Professor Cope (John Bergeron) who has discovered a new (poisonous) cobra, who he has named Rosie and wears around his neck. Meanwhile, Professor Walling (Ed Patton) has an audience with Her Majesty for his work with guinea pigs. He put food outside their cages to see if they could learn to work the latches. They did, and then they all left, except for Jane, who hasn’t figured out the latch and has become his favorite pet. “They said a man who studies snakes and a man who studies prey could never be friends, but we’ve proved them wrong!” Walling says of his friendship with Cope. Also present is Professor Sloane (Rupert Hinton), who studies biblical science and has determined the Irish are Jewish and should move to Palestine, which will cause some trouble later on. Missing is the president Harry Percy (Aaron Wexler), who’s off on his pole expedition, in search of the East and West pole. As Percy notes, “What a world we’re living in when the Irish are Jewish and all four poles are being mapped — to science!” The business Lucius really wants to get to is his nomination of Phyllida Spotte-Hume (Kyla Donnelly) to join the club. Her credentials are impeccable, as she’s discovered a lost civilization, and has brought back one its members, she calls him Luigi (played by Matthew Whiteside). He’s the blue guy, who wears red genie-like pants, no shirt and an orange tuft of hair. The reaction to Phyllida joining meets some resistance, especially from Sloane, who runs in fear from the very idea of even touching a woman. She is allowed in but Percy draws the line at her joining the men for brandy and cigars. He says she must wait in the lounge with the other ladies. When Phyllida notes there are not other ladies, Sloane quips, “I told you she’d be difficult.” Percy and Lucius both have their eyes on Phyllida, but it’s more of a conquest for Percy, where as Lucius is truly smitten — he’s even named a flower after her, never mind
Aaron Wexler and Kyla Donnelly in ActorsNET’s production of “The Explorers Club.” that the flower can lead to comas, it’s still sweet. Director Joe Doyle has assembled a marvelous cast, from top to bottom. Holcombe combines intelligence, decorum and sweetness as Lucius. Donnelly plays Phyllida as an intelligent and strong woman, one minute she tossing off a funny line, the next Phyllida is baffled as to what’s happening around her. Donnelly also has a great moment playing a countess who shares information about Phyllida. Bergeron and Patton have great comedic chemistry, Cope and Walling’s friendship is tested to hysterical results, thanks to these two actors. Wexler has a lot of fun as Percy, who is revered for his spirt and knowledge, after all if there are north and south poles, it only stands to reason there also are poles at the east and west. He has some of the night’s best lines, such as when Percy talks of naming a mountain for a sherpa girl, but it got him nowhere, “She said it already has a name.” Wexler delivers these lines expertly without pushing them or making them jokey. Hinton plays Sloane as wonderfully stuffy, but also with heart. George Agalias brings a sense of royal entitlement as Bernard Humphires, the Queen’s secretary, and Dan Hickey gets laughs as a monk with New York attitude. And then there’s Whiteside, who is fantastic as Luigi. He could have gone over the top, but he’s so subtle, and al-
ways doing something interesting while never diverting from the story. Some of his movements reminded me of Harpo Marx, and a bit where Luigi is posing as the club’s bartender (you’ll understand where he sees it) and slides drinks to Lucius is done perfectly, thanks to Whiteside and, especially Holcombe. The set by George Hartpence is one of the best I’ve seen at The Heritage Center. It’s adorned in rich wood. A stairwell with entrances on both ends of the stages leads to two doors. A bar area is decorate with artifacts, a small statue, a skull and glasses. Faux windows provide views of painted scenes. As crazy as the story is, this isn’t a door-slamming farce, it’s all done in a more proper, English sort of way. Doyle and his actors are presenting a wonderful night of muchwelcomed silliness. Opening night was a perfect evening of comedy — except for that glass that fell during the curtain call.
“The Explorers Club” continues at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 N. Delmorr Ave., Morrisville, Pennsylvania, through May 14. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.actorsnetbucks.org or call 215-295-3694.

ON STAGE By Anthony Stoeckert
Starting a Dialogue Playwright David Lee White wants to remove the taboo surrounding mental illness While addressing mental illness in “Fixed,” White also is writing a drama, and wants to do more than inform people about facts involving mental illness. “One thing I didn’t want it to be is a brochure on mental illness or bipolar disorder,” White says. “I didn’t want to to be a docudrama about ‘How you too can get treatment.’ So I hope that strikes a cord.” In writing these plays, he says he’s also considering not only of what the plays address but if they’re doing it the right way. “I’m very conscious of, ‘We’re talking about it but are we talking about the right way and are we telling the right kind of story?’” he says. He points to the Netflix show, “13 Reasons Why,” which has been the subject of controversy because of its approach to teen suicide and mental illness. “I got mad at it without ever seeing it because I had a knee-jerk response, ‘They’re David Lee White’s “Fixed” is on stage at Passage Theatre. not telling the right story,’” White says. “Any kind of mental illness or treatment is so personalized, I think the talking about it, while good, has made people conscious of, ‘Are we telling the right story?’ Sometimes there’s a thin line between exploitation and honesty. I don’t know, I think it’s possible people could watch my play and think, ‘This is [ticking] me off because it’s not like that.’ I’m not sure what to do with that.” White’s plays are often funny, and while “Fixed” has less humor than some of his other plays, White did include some funny moments, which he said was a delicate balance. “I think those three friends are funny, and they’re not particularly politically correct, especially in 2000 when they’re 17 years old,” he says. “People have come back to me and said, ‘This particular joke, I think people are going to stop listening.’ And I’ve gone, ‘Oh come on.’ But then in the end, I’ve listened to their arguments and said, ‘OK for the greater good.’ People understanding the story is more important than that one joke, but it’s a difficult dance.”

When David Lee White writes plays about characters with mental illness, he’s looking do many things — entertain an audience, get them thinking, get them laughing, and create a story and characters audiences will relate to.” One of the things I’m really interested in is this idea of making it not such a taboo,” says White, whose play “Fixed” is being presented by Trenton’s Passage Theatre in Trenton through May 21. The play is about three friends from high school who reunite because one of them, Ronnie (played by Maria Konstantinidis), is suffering from schizoaffective disorder symptoms of which can include hallucinations, delusions, and mood disorders. One of the ideas of the play is that Ronnie’s friends, Valerie (Alicia Isabel Rivas) and Daryl (Phillip Gregory Burke), didn’t know Ronnie dealt with mental illness back when they were friends, and White says the taboo factor is likely a reason why.” And I think that was one of the reasons why I didn’t notice the signs,” says White, who wrote about his struggle with depression in his one-man play, “Panther Hollow.” “I didn’t recognize it, no one really talked about that stuff.” The play’s writing came about in part because of “Panther Hollow,” in which White addressed some of his experiences in high school.” It dredged up a lot of high school stuff,” White says. “But then I got really interested in (the idea that) people who show symptoms of mental illness start showing it kind of young, but no one really gets it. No one really sees it and yet it can have this kind of profound impact if you’re around it.” The character of Ronnie, he says, is somewhat based on someone from his college days. “I just didn’t see it at the time,” he says of that college friend dealing with mental illness. “I didn’t notice everything that was happening.” He adds that as he wrote about friendship, he found himself thinking about friends from high school, and how we think those friendships could never end, yet some of them inevitably do.

Let’s take a walk around Princeton A new book shares insight into town and gown, through words and pictures By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor Wiebke Martens and Jennifer Jang want to take you for a walk around Princeton. They want to show you the architecture, natural beauty and history of Princeton. And they’re doing that with their book “Discovering Princeton: A Photographic Guide with Five Walking Tours” (Schiffer, 2017). The book is described as a “photographic guide” with five illustrated walking tours. The tours’ themes are: “Historic University,” “Downtown Princeton,” “West Around Mercer Hill,” The University in the TwentyFirst Century,” and “From Seminary to Institute.” The book also offers information about attractions in Princeton and surrounding areas, covering such topics as history, nature and gardens, the arts, hiking, biking and more, local food, and the sciences. Martens took the photos and Jang wrote the text. Both have lived in Princeton for about 10 years, and with Martens’ talents with a camera and Jang’s background as a historian and educator who led walking tours for the Historical Society of Princeton, they thought they could create a new kind of book about Princeton. “We thought, well, maybe we can do this together and delve more deeply into Princeton’s history, because there has to be a lot we don’t know and it would be fun to look at it with new eyes, hence the name ‘Discovering Princeton,’” Jang said. “Whether you’re a longtime resident or an alumnus or maybe a visitor… we thought, ‘maybe we can show it in a little bit of a new light.’” The authors — who will discuss their photographic guide at Labyrinth Books in Princeton, May 6 — said it became pretty obvious early on that history was going to be one of the themes for a walk. Doing justice to 300 years was a challenge, and they also wanted to do justice to more modern times. “Because I think, as is the case in almost any history you’re tackling, sometimes there isn’t that much written about the last 10 or 15 years,” Jang said. “We’re not saying this is comprehensive but we try to really tell the story pretty much up to now. I think we were deeply curious throughout the process, and still are, as to how Princeton became what it is today.” The walk themed around Princeton University in the 21st century came about because it explores a lesserknown aspect of Princeton, where the older a building is, the more it resembles what people think of as the university’s architecture. “We thought that was very important, sometimes those buildings get short shrift,” Jang said. “Not always, there’s a great modern architecture book, but some people say, ‘That‘s not the real Princeton.’ We thought, ‘These are beautiful, interesting buildings.’” Also important to the authors was the idea that people would learn about Princeton as they take these walks. “We tried to devise walks that have an arc and tell a story,” Martens said. “So the first walk [on the history of]
the campus is from the founding of the university to the 1940s more or less where the gothic phase ended with Firestone.” Martens says the 21st-century chapter covers the campus’ modern architecture but also developments at the university in terms of science, sports and campus life. “There is sort of a backstory behind each of the walks,” she said. The book is designed to be taken along on walks, and also read at home, where readers can learn about the town, look at the photography and make plans for future walks. In addition to showing the places of Princeton, the photos sometime
show people, or signs of people. For example, a wintertime image of Cannon Green on the university campus is decorated by a group of snow people with their arms stretched as if they are performing on stage. The University Chapel is pictured as a group of people enter it, a man is buying a ticket outside the Princeton Garden Theatre, and fireworks light up the university’s football field. “We wanted it to be alive. I think photos have more of an impact if, at least sometimes. you see somebody in the photograph,” Martens said. The authors also learned a lot about Princeton as they worked on the book.
“We had to do a lot of research,” Jang said. “Even having worked at the Historical Society, there’s so much to know. Everything we wanted to mention, we had to do our best and our due diligence.”
Wiebke Martens and Jennifer Jang will discuss and sign copies of “Discovering Princeton: A Photograph Guide with Five Walking Tours” at Labyrinth Books, 122 Nassau St., Princeton, May 6, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. They also will hold a talk, followed by a walk on the Princeton University campus.

WHAT’S IN STORE
Rich Fisher
Dedicated to Dance Pennington Studio teaches in an informative, patient and understanding way
If a resume alone made for a good instructor, The Pennington Studio would be standing tall amongst area dance and performing arts studios if only for that. But owner/instructor Dawn Cargiulo Berman knows it takes more than a good background to be a good teacher. Therefore, The Pennington Studio not only provides successful artists in their field who know how to communicate their skills to their students, whether they’re learning dance, vocals, visual art, or fitness. Their presence, along with Berman amassing a lifetime of knowledge that allows her to develop curriculum necessary for each level, has made TPS a burgeoning success since opening last year. Berman started teaching at the ripe old age of 11 at her mother’s studio in Freehold. She quickly pointed out she is a better teacher in her 40s than her 20s just through life experiences. She has danced around the world and, through her vast network, brought in some of the best at their profession to instruct. “You can get great training here and I’ll only bring people in that I really believe in, who have a lot of experience and experience with teaching children,” Berman said. “One can be a very successful performer but it’s important to have the experience in teaching as well. Working with children is a whole other education. . . . “I was in no way the teacher (in the mid 1990s) that I am now. A lot of the teachers are older, you become a different kind of teacher after having children. You think you know, until you have children. It’s a lot easier to be a bit more compassionate or notice things you didn’t notice before.” The Pennington Studio teaches adults as well but the concept is similar, one still must communicate in an informative, but patient, understanding manner. Having those instructors is one of the perks provided by TPS — which teaches students starting at age 2 — while another is making sure pupils gain an understanding of their capabilities by exploring their creative energy and ability through modern dance. “What sets us apart is we are also providing some great jazz and modern dance training along with ballet,” Berman noted. “Modern dance training allows the student to have an opportunity to create their own movement, have a voice inside of their dance technique. So while the technique we’re sharing with the children is very important, it’s paramount that we always stay focused on them as artists and as children and are able to develop their voice. “Students can be recreational dancers and take one class a week that’s jazz, one that’s ballet. And that is perfectly fine too. We’re here to teach them steps, technique and musicality but, in addition, thread something into a class that pulls out a bit of what‘s happening with them, or some kind of creative component. So that’s a bit different.” To appreciate the qualities The Pennington Studio has to offer, one should also appreciate the extraordinary history of its owner. Growing up in Freehold Borough, as a preschooler Berman began taking lessons from her mom, Gail Cargiulo, who gave them for free at the local YMCA. Gail also built the gymnastics program there and Dawn took every class she taught. When Dawn was in high school, Gail opened Gallery of Dance in Freehold, which is still in operation. By that point, Dawn was all over the place with her interests. “I was very active, so I did everything,” she said, “I loved gymnastics, dance, soccer and riding my bike. I loved running track in high school and I loved music. I drove my mother crazy because I wanted to do everything, but I loved dancing.” So much so, that in her final two years, she took her academic courses at Freehold, but spent half a day at nearby Howell High School to study jazz, ballet and modern dance. “That was the first time I was exposed to modern dance,” she said. “I also did theater and acting classes. Modern was a bit of a fusion of my athleticism and creativity, and a place where I could take all these things and put them into one space.” Suddenly, it all clicked. Berman realized that dance was another way to express herself and further discover her talents and capabilities “I hadn’t considered studying dance in college before having that experience,” she said. “I was thinking of going to college for visual arts. But it was very challenging physically and it was my first experience with a particular teacher that wasn’t in an acting class, where physically I got to create things. You do exercises and structured improvisations that draw from who you are and build something with your body and music. It was a bit of a culmination of all my worlds.” Next stop was the University of Arts in Philadelphia where, during her sophomore year, Berman was floored by a performance by the Transitions Dance Company from the Laban Centre in London. “I thought they were incredible,” Dawn said. So much so, that she applied to, and was accepted by Laban Dance Centre — the largest school for contemporary dance in the world, and one of Europe’s leading and largest, institutions for contemporary dance artist training. Berman planned on just one year abroad, and was the lone American in the program. But that year was so rewarding that she opted to get her degree from Laban with a B.A. in dance and theater. Upon graduating in 1995, she successfully auditioned for the same Transitions Company that originally lured her to Laban. “It’s a post-graduate course, but very competitive and an incredible experience,” Berman

Japan and Taiwan. They would dance, teach, and learn percussion instruments to assist each other. Only eight lasted the entire year. “It was so intense and physically very difficult,” Dawn said. “Some people’s bodies couldn’t keep up with it. But it broadened my horizons. I had already been traveling a lot from living in London, but this was traveling and performing and teaching. We had to push ourselves.” After that year, Berman returned home to live with her parents and was burned out. For a brief time, dance was on the back burner. “It was an intense year,” she said. “You come home and you’re like, ‘I don’t know if I ever want to do that again.’” Berman worked in her mom’s studio for a year and the urge slowly came back. “I wanted to get traveling again, I missed that, and I missed teaching,” she said. “And I loved performing.” She went to some auditions and one paid off big as she joined the MOMIX Dance Company, performing throughout America and Europe, while also teaching master classes at the university level. That lasted for eight years, while Berman also performed with New York City-based Neo Labos, Shoestring and Isadora Dance Legacy. She collaborated with Vienna-based Blue Moon Productions performing in Vienna, Belgium and New York. Over time, Berman developed a desire to “take ownership of a program.” She created and directed the dance program at Mainland High School in South Jersey but after two years it was not working logistically. She took on the same role at Middlesex Vocational School but that was not the right fit either. At that point her first child came along, followed by three more (now ages 7 to 14). She and her husband landed in Pennington, where Berman lent her talents to the Lawrenceville School, Rider University and Princeton Ballet School, among others. She also still performed with several companies in Philadelphia. But Berman still had that itch to create her own source of performing artists. “For the past two years I had this desire to have ownership over something and build something,” she said. It was fulfilled a year ago, when Pennington Dance closed down after 30 years. Dawn’s friends immediately contacted her about opening her own studio. “That’s always nice to be wanted,” she said with a laugh. “It’s a lot of work and not great hours for having kids but it was always sort of ruminating in my head. I would look at spaces and think of what I wanted to do, so it was always there. However, the reality of what it would take was something I was very aware of.” Berman had little time to analyze the situation if she wanted to maintain many of the students who went to Pennington Dance. She decided to give it a go and a soft opening last June was followed by the official opening in September. She has been extremely pleased with the first year, which drew more than 100 students. If the studio maintains the same growth rate through the next year, Berman will need to find a larger space. Not every student is looking for a dancing career, but for those serious about embracing their training, The Pennington Studio offers a CORE program for dancers 9 and older. Dancers are required to take two 90-minute ballet classes each week and encouraged to take an additional jazz and modern class. “This expands their technical capacity,” Berman said. “Ballet is going to help dictate what kind of a dancer you are. Even if you are modern or jazz dancer, you’re going to be a better dancer if you’re studying ballet technique. But to study just ballet is limiting.”
And in today’s professional dance world, diverse talents are necessary as choreographers put their own modern interpretation on routines. “At one time, 30 or 40 years ago, to study just ballet and get into a ballet company would have been more typical,” said Berman, who mainly teaches modern dance. “But it’s much more competitive to get into a ballet company now. Ballet choreography has become more contemporary to sell seats. “They still do classical pieces but they’ll use more contemporary choreographers. They are different styles; so you are very limited if you’re just studying ballet. But for us, if we tell you to just study jazz and not have great ballet training, it’s also a disservice to your training.” TPS ballet coordinator Mary Pat Robertson, the director of Princeton Ballet School for 30 years, is the CORE teacher. Robertson has been cited by the U.S. Congress, among others, for her work in the field; and is one of an all-star faculty
that was quickly assembled by Berman. Also on staff are dance instructors Brandon Joshua Jones, Taylor Miller, John Barrella and Gabriella Profitt; vocal teacher Elizabeth Sutton; and Jen DeFilippi, creator and instructor for the Wake & Shake fitness class. Space prohibits listing the impressive accomplishments of each instructor, but their complete bios are on the website. “Their experience and professionalism completely carries the studio,” Berman said. “The ability to be able to rely on people’s talents and professional work ethic is invaluable.” There are several other special classes at The Pennington Studio. Once a week, a group from the Eden School of Autism takes lessons, and the students also supply some of their artwork that adorns the studio walls. The nearby Pennington School has students walk over three times a week for classes in jazz, ballet and modern.

Keys to diagnosing colon cancer
Once a disease that primarily affected people over age 50, colorectal cancer is on the rise among young and middle-aged adults in the United States. A recently released study by the American Cancer Society found that compared to people born around 1950, when colorectal cancer risk was lowest, those born in 1990 have double the risk of colon cancer and quadruple the risk of rectal cancer. While it remains unclear what is causing the trend, researchers theorize that the rise in colorectal cancer rates among younger adults could be linked to the rise in obesity rates. What is certain, however, is that no matter how old you are, paying attention to your colon health and taking symptoms seriously is key to diagnosing cancer in its earliest stages when it is most treatable. Home to trillions of bacteria Excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third-most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than
95,500 new cases of colon cancer and more than 39,900 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed in 2017. Further, colorectal cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women in the United States and the second-leading cause in men. Though it’s not exactly certain what causes colon cancer, researchers have identified certain risk factors that may increase your chances of developing the disease including: • Being overweight or obese • Lack of physical activity • A diet high in red meat and processed meats • Smoking • Heavy alcohol use In addition, your colon is home to trillions of bacteria that make up your gut microbiome. Changes or imbalances in the microbiome may affect your gastrointestinal function and increase your risk for colon and other cancers. What’s more, your colon health can have a direct affect on your overall health, as the colon is home to trillions of bacteria that not
only affect your gastrointestinal function, but may also play a role in immunological, metabolic, and neurological diseases. Pay attention to changes Almost everyone will experience a case of diarrhea or constipation every now and then. This type of occasional gastrointestinal upset is normal and may be related to something you ate, stress or medication. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms, especially if they get worse over time, see your doctor: • Changes in your bowel habits • Persistent diarrhea • Chronic constipation
have an advantage being at TPS. Due to the plethora of influential theater arts people she has befriended over the years, Dawn can help set up opportunities for deserving pupils. “Having connections is definitely an advantage,” she said. “Dancing is such a competitive art form that you couldn’t guarantee anybody anything. But could you get
them in the door, get them an audition, say to someone ‘Hey look at this person, I had a great experience with them.’” Yeah we can do that. And that’s a lot.” Her main reason for opening The Pennington Studio is to provide area residents a chance to become involved with the arts, no matter what level they are at.

• Abdominal pain • Increased gas production • Changes in the caliber of your stool • Blood in your stool Your bowel movements can tell you a lot about your colon health so pay attention when you go to the bathroom and remember to look before you flush. More of the good, less of the bad One of the best ways to maintain your colon health is to lead a healthy lifestyle with more of the good things and less of the bad. Exercise. Increasing your level of activity lowers your risk of colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous polyps. Eat a healthy diet. A diet high in vegetables, fruits and whole grains and low in red and processed meats have been linked with lower colorectal cancer risk. Limit processed and sugary foods. Studies have also shown that fiber in the diet may reduce colorectal cancer risk. Additionally, food-based probiotics found in items like yogurt and fermented foods can help keep your microbiome healthy.
Limit alcohol use. Alcohol use has been linked with a higher risk of colorectal cancers, especially among men. Don’t smoke. Smoking is linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer, as well as many other cancers and health problems. Quitting smoking may help lower your risk of colorectal cancer and other types of cancer. Early detection is key Colon cancer is most treatable when it is detected before it has spread beyond the bowel. Screening should begin at age 50, or earlier for people with a family history of colon cancer. There are a variety of screening options for colorectal cancer, but colonoscopy is the most effective at detecting small polyps and enabling doctors to remove them before they become cancer. University Medical Center of Princeton, through a partnership with local gastroenterologists, offers a “Direct Access Colonoscopy” program to help speed the process of scheduling a routine screening colonoscopy for certain patients ages 50 and over.
Individuals can call UMCP’s Surgical Scheduling Office directly to make an appointment for a colonoscopy and if they meet certain screening criteria, will be scheduled for the procedure within days. Learn more Princeton HealthCare System, through its Community Education & Outreach Program, will host a discussion titled Ease Your Anxieties About Colonoscopies from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on May 12 at the Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center, Princeton North Shopping Center, 1225 State Road, Princeton.

Because for Berman, the arts matter. “I believe the arts play an integral and positive role in the health and success of children, communities and culture,” Berman said. “The arts, self expression and creative work help us define our uniqueness and develop our personal voice. It’s a kind of learning and exploration that brings
connection and energy to all the other learning and facets of our life.” “The arts bring people together with their ability to draw connections within darkness and light, and throughout all human culture. Teaching technique is a passion of mine, yet the most profound experiences are those moments when my students find their voice.
For me, this is the ultimate goal.”

Home is where the art is Works from HomeFront’s ArtSpace program will be on view in Princeton for three weeks By Ilene Dube Special Writer
Is creating artwork a privilege only those with means can afford? Not at HomeFront, where the creative process is used as a tool to heal, and to break down barriers to celebrate the human spirit, says ArtSpace Founding Director Ruthann Traylor. Traylor and her dedicated team are busy preparing for ArtJam, the pop-up gallery that will open Friday, May 19, at 19 Hulfish St., Princeton, and run for three weeks. This is the seventh year for the annual event that brings together professional artists, such as Judith K. Brodsky and Nell Painter, along with HomeFront client-artists. All the artwork is for sale, and money raised helps to pay for the ArtSpace program, including art supplies — which are, indeed, a luxury. “Simply being able to buy supplies is a challenge both for clients and for the program,“ says Traylor. “ArtSpace encourages creativity and self-expression in a safe and nurturing environment. Many HomeFront clients have found a sense of purpose, renewal and confidence through our ArtSpace programs, which allows them to discover their talents. This exhibit is where their creativity is on display and they take pride in what they have accomplished.” There are many reasons people become homeless, from having employment outsourced, a home burn down or raising a child with a disability as a single parent, to suffering traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident or having to care for elderly parents when resources are tight. Anxious and uncertain about her future, one client, after becoming reacquainted with her love for painting in ArtSpace, said, “Now my confidence is back. I don’t feel like I have limits anymore.” The stories of people who have found their life’s direction through HomeFront could fill a book — and they have. “New Ways of Seeing My World” is a book commemorating HomeFront’s 25th anniversary and offers photos of seven ArtSpace artists, their stories in their own words and their art. Interspersed are quotes and images of works by other ArtSpace clients. The book will be available for sale at ArtJam. HomeFront’s Family Campus opened in September 2015 in a decommissioned Naval training station at the Trenton Mercer Airport. Previously housed on the campus of the nearby Katzenbach School, the 42,000-square-foot campus accommodates 38 families, offering on-site access to childcare, job training, computer skills and other services designed to break the cycle of homelessness. The building, at one time described as an ugly hulking block with only five windows, has undergone a $6 million makeover to become an inviting haven for families. The light-filled lobby includes a stacked-stone fountain and a quilted donor recognition wall that is itself a work of art. Directed by artist Kate Graves and executed by ArtSpace and SewingSpace participants and volunteers, each bronze donor plaque is placed in its own fabric square, carefully selected to express something about each donor. It reads like the hall of fame of the greater Princeton area’s generous humanitarians. A visitor is struck by how clean and organized the center is, without seeming institutional. According to the website, the Family Preservation Center is “first-class without being luxurious, a place where parents and children stand taller.” In addition to the 38 furnished dorm rooms, there are comfortable lounges and sitting areas where residents and visitors can watch TV, check for e-mail messages or read a book. Residents of the Family Preservation Center are avid readers — there is a library filled with inviting books that is open until 1 a.m., staffed with volunteer librarians. With plush seating, it is a relaxing environment in which to read alongside stuffed animals. “I’d rather be READING,” says a sign on the wall. When clients first come to HomeFront, they are tested for reading and math levels, according to Lynne Wise, who runs the Higher Expectations program. HomeFront has 34 retired educators who work one-on-one with clients to get their high school diplomas. HomeFront is a state-certified testing center, and of those who successfully complete their diplomas, 78 percent go on to college or job training, according to Wise. In addition to shelves filled with textbooks, the Higher Expectations program has its Wall of Success, where each graduate is pictured in cap and gown. Page through any high school yearbook and you will not find a happier crew than pictured on the Wall of Success. Besides textbook learning, youngsters at HomeFront are treated to performances, such as a recent one by the Westminster Players. Each child sat rapt throughout the show. Connie Mercer founded HomeFront 25 years ago when
The painting “Birch Trees” by a member of HomeFront’s ArtSpace program will be on view at a pop-up gallery on Hulfish Street. she saw families warehoused in motel rooms along U.S. 1 with no privacy, no place to cook meals, no place to refrigerate infant formula, no place for children to play or do homework. “These families were living across the hall from drug dealers and prostitutes,” she says. “I knew I had to do something.” Offering much more than temporary housing, HomeFront has become a one-stop social-service campus that emphasizes practical training while restoring the spirit. A typical family may stay 45 days to two months, when government funding runs out and private funding kicks in, but the goal is to get the families permanent housing and provide support services as needed. A “free store” of donated furnishings helps to make the housing home, and in the SewingSpace program, clients can make pillows and curtains. There is a cafeteria where clients are served three meals a day, and Bubbie’s Kitchen, named for Mercer’s mother, the late Bernice Roud, who volunteered daily at HomeFront for 20 years until turning 91. “We think of our grandmothers’ kitchens, so it’s nice to have a kitchen named for a grandmother,” says Mercer. Bubbie’s Kitchen is an elegant space where families learn to cook nutritious meals. An anonymous donor made the kitchen possible, and designed it as well, with stone counters, stainless steel ranges, sleek modern cabinets and All Clad pots and pans. The backsplash is tile, designed to resemble wood, and above it are colorful photographs of
artichokes and eggplants. “The best ingredient is confidence, the best nutrient is love,” says a sign on the wall. Stainless steel shelves are fully stocked with canisters of flour and sugar and canned goods. There are Cuisinart processors and blenders and stainless steel sinks. Each drawer of utensils is fully stocked with the best equipment — no messy kitchen junk drawers here! According to Mercer, the donor held a house party, inviting friends who brought the best kitchenware available. A childcare center is clean and cheerful, with tiny tables and play kitchens, helping provide a safe environment while parents get trained and get back to work. And, thanks to ArtSpace, brightly colored artwork lights up the hallways. “We had a vision of what would work to help families move from homelessness to self-sufficiency, and now only after a year of having it up and running, putting all the resources in one spot, including partner agencies on site, we have turned swords into ploughshares, creating a fertile environment to help people become whole,” Mercer said. ArtJam includes paintings, photography, glass, sculpture, jewelry and products created at SewingSpace, a branch of HomeFront’s ArtSpace program teaching HomeFront clients how to sew and develop entrepreneurial skills. Opening reception: Friday, May 19, 6-9 p.m. In addition, the Wondrous on Witherspoon Pop-Up Art Gallery, 14 ½ Witherspoon St., Princeton, also benefitting HomeFront’s ArtSpace, will be part of the May 19 “Art Walk” reception.

Morven in May returns
Pottery by Cliff Lee will be among the craft items for sale during Morven in May this weekend.
(Bridgewater)
As a neurosurgeon, Cliff Lee performed delicate brain surgery. Today, the former doctor now applies his surgical skills to creating magnificent porcelain vessels, which “American Craft Magazine,” says “are prized for their elegant forms, exquisite carving, whisper-thin walls, and luminous glazes. Evoking classical Chinese pottery and the natural world, they are unlike anyone else’s.” The master porcelain potter’s work is highly prized, and can be found in the permanent collection of the White House, the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a rare distinction for a living artist. Lee will be making his Morven in May debut, May 67 at Morven Museum & Garden in Princeton. The juried exhibition and sale of contemporary, American-made fine craft will feature works by 37 professional fine craft artists from across the country. Jill M. Barry, executive director of Morven Museum & Garden, encourages attendees to visit with each artist in the show. “They each have stories to share about their inspiration and technique that will make each purchase that much more of a treasured part of your collection,” Barry says. “It is a privilege for Morven to present this extraordinary group of artists who are among the top echelon of their chosen craft.”
The festivities begin with a Preview Party on Friday evening, May 5 and then opens to the public for two days of art and garden treasure hunting, on Saturday and Sunday, May 6 and 7. Along with an array of beautifully crafted art objects, Morven will offer for sale a distinct collection of perennials and heirloom annuals. All proceeds from Morven in May help fund the museum’s exhibitions, historic gardens, and educational programs. This year’s Morven in May also welcomes for the first time world-class furniture maker David S. Talley who began his professional career as a dentist; Dave and Patti Hegland, who left behind the corporate world to pursue their artistic passion of studio glass; and Mary Raivel, who practiced environmental law as a federal and state government attorney, and is now a full-time metalsmith and jeweler. “Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the origins of the work come from my experience as a young dental student, infatuated with the shape and curves of teeth, and then later, as a boatbuilder and worldcruising sailor, with a deep appreciation for the appealing shape of boats. In the later stage of my boating days, while living aboard ship I spontaneously began making sculptural furniture,” Talley says. The Heglands’ creative life began as dedicated collectors
of fine craft. “In the back of our minds, we knew that someday we, too, would like to create fine craft at the quality level we were collecting,” Patti Hegland says. “So, when the time came to leave behind our successful corporate careers in business and engineering, we called on our analytical decision-making skills to answer the question of what type of fine craft we would create.” Other newcomers are Danielle Blade, glass artist; Rob Caperell, contemporary ironwork; Jupi Das, who creates paper cut art; Lucy Dierks, ceramic artist; Linda Doucette, hand felted art; and Beth Farber, jewelry designer. “Morven in May: A Celebration of Art, Craft and Garden,” begins Friday May 5 with a Preview Garden Party, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.; tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are available on Morven’s website or by calling 609-924-8144 ext.113. Tickets start at $175. The show then opens to the general public on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets for the Saturday and Sunday Art Tent are available at the door and are $10 per person, $8 for Friends of Morven. The artists’ work will be displayed in a tent on the Great Lawn at Morven Museum & Garden, located at 55 Stockton St., Princeton. For tickets and information, go to www.morven.org or call 609-924-8144.
