Borough officials mull decision against ‘puppy mills’ By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Hopewell Borough may join the growing list of towns that do not allow pet stores to sell puppies and kittens that were acquired from so-called “puppy/kitten mills,” or commercial breeders. Borough Council considered introducing an ordinance at its June 1 meeting that would allow a pet store to sell puppies and kittens - but only if they came from an animal shelter or an animal rescue organization.

But Borough Council wanted more time to review the proposed ordinance before taking action. It may consider introducing the ordinance at its July meeting. There are no pet stores in Hopewell Borough. The proposed ordinance, which is based on a model ordinance prepared by NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills, would not allow a pet store to “sell, deliver, offer for sale, barter, auction, give away or otherwise transfer or dispose of cats or dogs.”

Instead, the proposed ordinance would permit pet stores to collaborate with animal shelters or non-profit animal rescue organizations - such as SAVE - to offer space to showcase adoptable dogs and cats. The ordinance would not ban consumers from acquiring animals from an animal shelter or rescue group, or from hobby breeders where they can see the conditions in which the puppies and kittens are bred. The proposed ordinance,

which is based on a model ordinance drawn up by attorneys for the Humane Society of the United States, grew out of a presentation to Borough Council last year by NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills. NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills has been lobbying towns since 2015 to adopt an ordinance regulating pet shops, and thus far more than 100 towns have done so. The goal of the ordinance is to encourage people to adopt dogs

and cats from shelters and nonprofit animal rescue groups, thus preventing them from being euthanized. About 21,000 dogs and cats are killed each year in New Jersey, according to NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills. Animal advocacy groups and the pet industry have agreed that a puppy mill is a dog-breeding operation that offers dogs for monetary compensation or remuneration, according to Jeanne Clayton, a member of NJ Resi-

Class of 2017 to take final walk as CHS students By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

Hundreds of teenagers hailing from the Hopewell Valley area will take a major step in their lives later this month, as friends, families and teachers watch Central High School’s Class of 2017 graduation ceremony. On June 20, approximately 325 seniors will don the customary caps and gowns on the high school’s Ackerson Field while waiting for their turn to receive their diplomas. “I am incredibly proud of this years graduating class,” Superintendent Dr. Thomas Smith said. “Not only are they strong academically, but many students have undertaken social causes that have had a strong and positive impact on our school community.” District officials said the high school’s valedictorian and salutatorian will be announced during the ceremony, with final grade scores and class rankings being determined until the last possible moment. Under state regulations, students looking to graduate from high school must have completed

120 credits, including four years of English literacy courses and three years of math courses, among others. Though some students will enter the work force or join the military after graduating, officials said a large percentage of this year’s graduates will seek to continue their education at a wide range of colleges and universities. Starting in September, students will attend the following institutions: Arcadia University; Arizona State University; Automotive Training Center; Baruch College of the CUNY; Bentley University; Boston College; Boston University; Brandeis University; Brigham Young University; Bryant University; Bucknell University; Caldwell University; Carleton College; Carnegie Mellon University; Castleton University; Clemson University; Coastal Carolina University; Colby College; College of Charleston; College of William and Mary; Colorado College; Colorado State University; Columbia College Chicago; Columbia University; Cornell University; CUNY/UAPC; Delaware

Living valor at CHS Corporal Larry Cody, of Hamilton, visited the students of Dave Bello’s history class at Hopewell Valley Central High School last month to share his experiences serving in Vietnam. Cody left Bordentown High School at 16 years old to join the Marines. He was one of four brothers to serve his country, though one brother was ultimately killed in action in Korea. During his visit, Cody told the students he would do it again to save his fellow soldiers. He is a highly decorated Marine and has been disabled due to combat wounds he received during his service.

Baldpate Mountain to host overnight camping event By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

215-354-3146

Visitors have seen Baldpate Mountain - the highest point in Mercer County, and the site of the Mercer County park that bears its name - during the daytime, but no one gets to experience it at night. That will change, however, when the Mercer County Park Commission holds its “Come Out and Play” camp-out overnight Aug. 11-12 - weather permitting, of course.

Families will be able to camp out and spend the night on the 1,165-foot-high Baldpate Mountain at the “Come Out and Play” event, which will provide a unique summer experience for those who sign up for the event by June 30, according to Mercer County officials. The cost is $20 per person for Mercer County residents and $30 per person for out-of-county residents. The deadline to register is June 30. Baldpate Mountain was once

known as Kuser Mountain. It belonged to the Kuser family of Trenton, and is part of the Sourland Mountain Ridge. The Kuser family sold Baldpate Mountain to Trap Rock Industries in 1986, which planned to expand its quarry operations nearby. Mercer County bought the property in 1998. But back to “Come Out and Play.” Families must provide their own tents, although there will be help for those who need it in set-

ting up the tent Friday night. While families have to bring their own ready-to-eat dinner, hot dogs and s’mores will be provided to roast over a campfire. Campers can take a guided night hike or participate in a scavenger hunt. But perhaps the highlight is the Perseid meteor showers. Campers may see some shooting starts, compliments of the annual meteor shower. A light breakfast will be served on the patio of the Strawberry Hill Mansion. The program also in-

cludes a morning yoga session at the summit. Families that register by June 30 will be placed in a lottery for selection because of the popularity of the event. The drawing, which is limited to 25 tents or 100 people, will be held July 3. Those who were not chosen in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list.

To the editor:

It seem that Hopewell Township has its own source of fake news as seen in Mayor Kuchinsky’s recent letter to the editor (township budget fulfills promises, May 19, 2017), in which he pats himself on the back for his ability to ignore the truth about his risky 2017 township budget. Mayor Kuchinsky says that spending is down if you don’t pay attention to all of the spending that’s in the budget. That’s like saying that up is down if you don’t pay attention to what direction you are going in. The 2017 budget of almost $23.4 million is close to six percent higher than the 2016 budget of $22 million, over twice the rate of inflation, and there’s no faking that. Mayor Kuchinsky says that he saved $2 million in this budget, which is being returned to the taxpayers. When do I receive my check, Mr. Mayor? But there will be no check, and taxpayers may have to write an extra check someday if

Perhaps he read the claim by Deputy Mayor Blake in the May 12 HVN (Committee passes $23.4 million budget for 2017) in which she claimed that the 2017 budget goes “forward, instead of borrowing money this year.” But that would not be true either. Both Mayor Kuchinsky’s 2017 budget anticipates new debt, just as his 2016 budget incurred new debt, and there’s no faking that.

Ron Dante of the Archies is joining this year’s ‘Happy Together’ tour By Mike Morsch

on Dante walked into RCA Studios in New York City and there sat producer and songwriter Jeff Barry, who was just completing the rhythm track for a song on which he had worked long and hard on, especially the bass part and the acoustic guitar sound. “I remember thinking, ‘This has a great feel, the sound of it.’ I sensed that Jeff was working longer on this rhythm track than he did on all the other rhythm tracks,” Dante says. “So my first instinct was, this is a cool song. And then he sang it to me. He said, ‘This is what you’ll be singing, here’s the lead.’ Of course I learned it in like two minutes because it was so memorable.” It was 1969, and the song was “Sugar, Sugar,” cowritten by Barry and Andy Kim. It was to be recorded by the Archies, a band formed by a group of fictional teenagers in the Saturday morning television cartoon series, “The Archie Show,” featuring the characters from the “Archie” comics. Dante was to be the lead singer of the Archies and the lead vocalist on “Sugar, Sugar.” “I was very impressed by the song and I was impressed with the production right away,” Dante says. “I knew that this was something a little different than many other tracks we were doing for the TV show. I worked hard on the vocal. I wanted it to be a cool sound and Jeff let me do that. And when I heard the playback, it sounded really good and I was very happy.” What happened next was about to make both Dante and Barry even happier. “Sugar, Sugar” went to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in September 1969, as well as to the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Norway and Spain. It would end up being the No. 1 song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1969, ahead of “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” by the 5th Dimension, “I Can’t Get Next to You” by the Temptations, “Honky Tonk Women” by the Rolling Stones and “Everyday People” by Sly and the Family Stone. “I went crazy,” says Dante of the song making it to No. 1. “I was a young man and as a singer, you want to be part of a big hit property and that’s what I was.” More than 45 years later, Dante will again be singing “Sugar, Sugar” as one of the featured performers on the Happy Together Tour 2017, which will kick off June 9 in Biloxi, Mississippi and will make two area stops early in the run: June 13, at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown; and June 14, at the State Theatre in New Brunswick. Also on the tour will be its originators, The Turtles featuring Flo and Eddie — Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman — who have sold more than 40 million records worldwide with the hits “Happy Together,” “She’d Rather Be With Me,” “Elenore,” “It Ain’t Me Babe” and “You Showed Me.” The lineup also includes the Association with its hits “Windy,” “Cherish” and “Never My Love”;

Chuck Negron, formerly of Three Dog Night, which had hits with “Joy to the World,” “Mama Told Me Not to Come” and “Old-Fashioned Love Song”; the Cowsills, the original family singing group that was the inspiration for the television show “The Partridge Family” with hits “The Rain, The Park and Other Things,” “Hair” and “Indian Lake”; and the Box Tops with hits “The Letter,” “Cry Like A Baby” and “Soul Deep.” “It’s so cool, all the hits all night, which is great,” Dante says. “They’ve been threatening to put me on the tour for years and finally it came around to where my schedule allowed it. And I jumped at the chance.” The Happy Together Tour — with Kaylan and Volman of the Turtles as the inspiration and headliners — first embarked in 1985 and included the Grassroots, the Buckinghams and Gary Lewis and the Playboys as the featured artists. Over the years, the lineup has changed several times, with the Turtles being the one constant. “It’s my first time on this tour and we’re going to almost 50 cities,” Dante says. “There will be a lot of camaraderie. We’re going to be traveling together, getting to know each other better. This is going to be a good time and I couldn’t be happier. These guys are great. Everybody has a backstory too.” Dante, who was singing jingles in commercials when “Sugar, Sugar” became the No. 1 record in the country, would go on to even more success in the 1970s. It was during one of those jingles gigs that he met a young Barry Manilow, who was also writing and singing jingles in commercials and producing and arranging for Bette Midler. “I remember Barry saying to me, ‘Would you like to listen to some of my songs? I’m working with this girl Bette Midler, but I really want to be a singer, I want to be the artist, not the arranger and producer. Could you produce for me?’” Dante recalls. Dante and Manilow would end up co-producing Manilow’s albums from his debut “Barry Manilow” in 1973 through “Barry” in 1980, a span that produced three No. 1 singles — “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Looks Like We Made It” — and several Top 10 hits. “It was the golden age of songwriting, arranging and singing,” Dante says. “I am constantly grateful

to have walked through all of that, to have seen it from the inside out and remember all of it. It’s really a blessing in that I remember all of it and I’ve built on it.” But for now, the Happy Together Tour is Dante’s focus. “I’m so excited about it,” he says. “I’m excited about meeting the people that say ‘I grew up with your song, it was the first record I ever bought.’” The Happy Together Tour will be at the State Theatre, 15 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick, June 14, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $35-$95; www.statetheatrenj. org; 732-246-7469.

MUSIC By Anthony Stoeckert

Hear Those VOICES Sing Lyn Ransom will conduct her final concert of the chorus she founded 30 years ago

s Lyn Ransom was putting together the program for her final concert as conductor of VOICES chorale, there was one piece she knew was going to include — the Brahms Requiem. “I’ve just loved this piece and I’ve identified with it,” Ransom says. “It’s deeply spiritually based in me, and it’s also the favorite of many, many singers. VOICES has performed this, every 10 years, just by chance but it turned out to be cyclical.”

“At first I thought it was just too dense and too hard to understand, and I much preferred Mozart or Samuel Barber or even Stravinsky because there was more space in the music. But Brahms’ music is so tightly constructed, so beautifully composed, that it takes a while for your whole being to sink into what he’s doing and understand it at a deep level. “When I was in graduate school I could not tell the difference between Brahms and Dvorak, they would give you drop the needle tests, and I couldn’t tell,” Ransom says. “They were both very melodic, they both had sections of calm and sections of passion, and I just couldn’t tell the difference. But now I really identify with the beauty of Brahms and his orchestration — his use of the French horns and the brass instruments and the flute and English horn and oboe and all the strings. he’s a fabulous orchestrator as well.” During the concert, Voices also will sing Randall Thompson’s “Frostiana.” “I wanted something in English. It’s intense to work on the Brahms Requiem, and I wanted something to give a little lightness to the concert and give a little lightness to the Lyn Ransom is wrapping up 30 years as the direc- singers’ rehearsal times.” The 1959 piece premiered in tor of VOICES with a concert featuring the Brahms Amherst, Massachusetts.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;An Inspector Callsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ActorsNET of Bucks County presents a powerful drama about a family whose secrets are exposed

n Inspector Callsâ&#x20AC;? spends a lot of time with the title character asking questions of the other characters. This typically isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my favorite format for a play, but that may be because I had never seen it done with the tension and drama that ActorsNET of Bucks County brings to its stellar production of J.B. Priestleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1945 play. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a mystery, but it looks like one. The play, at the Heritage Center Theatre in Morrisville, Pennsylvania through June 18, is set in an English industrial city. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1912 and the Birling family is gathered for dinner. Arthur (George Hartpence), is the patriarch, and a successful businessman who speaks of the virtues of capitalism. He is positive that war is not in Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Arthur is thrilled at the news that his daughter Sheila (Tammy Goldberg) is engaged to Gerald Croft (Tom Swain). Croft is just the kind of son-in-law heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanted and Sheila is overjoyed when Gerald gives her a ring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I really feel engaged,â&#x20AC;? she says. Also celebrating are Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Sybil (Carol Thompson) and their son Eric (Tom Smith). There is a slight issue in that Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is of higher stature, but Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials are pretty good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Lord Mayor, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the benchâ&#x20AC;? and may be in line for a knighthood. The festivities are interrupted by Inspector Goole (Mort Paterson). Arthur assumes it has something to do with the bench, but this inspector brings disturbing news. A woman with multiple names, including Eva Smith, has killed herself by drinking disinfectant, and she left behind evidence that connects her to the family members. Goole starts with Arthur, who fired Smith a year and a half ago because of her involvement with a labor movement. Arthur dismisses the connection, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way this woman killed herself over something he did 18 months ago. Goole isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced; it could have been the first step. We then find out Sheila recently had Eva

fired from her job in a store because she dared to mock Sheila. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also unveiled that Eva had more than one name, and her interactions with the other members of the family get more and more personal, and consequential. Goole isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out for facts that can lead to an arrest, his is a higher calling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeking the truth. Actually, he seems to know the truth, his mission is that those responsible for this young womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death understand what they did. Goole himself is a mystery. How can he know the things he knows? After he leaves, the family members suspect heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fraud, but there is no doubt he has taken Evaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death to heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had been turned down and turned out too many times,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this was the end.â&#x20AC;? This is a play that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work without the right cast, and director James Cordingley has assembled a wonderful group of actors for this production. Paterson is just perfect for the Inspector, he has a lot to say and is judgmental, but never preachy. He is wise and not surprised by what these people have done, but is still human enough to care about the young, dead woman. Hartpence and Thompson do fine work as the parents. Hartpence plays Arthur with a sense of entitlement, even a touch of superiority, but he remains likable, and comes off as a man trying to do best by his family. Thompson is formal, nearly royal, as Sybil, but the veneer is broken when Sybilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the death is revealed. Goldberg is a standout as Sheila. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tricky character â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a blushing fiance to start, but we see a darker side of her later on. Tom Smith is the troubled Eric, funny and charming at the beginning, but there are hints that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trouble. He is perhaps the one member of this family we end up sympathizing with. Eric plays an important role in the dead womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and that he truly cared for her is clear, thanks to Smith. Swain plays a key part as the fiance to Sheila. He may have the most to lose in all of this, and his secrets affect the people closest to him, but he keeps his compusure

Mort Paterson and Carol Thompson in â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Inspector Calls.â&#x20AC;? and tries to protect himself and the Birling family. Hartpence and Cordingley designed the set, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrific, a convincing scene for the home of a wealthy family. The production also includes a powerful use of projection. This is a talky play that feels like an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Powerful acting and taught direction will do that.

COVER STORY By Anthony Stoeckert

A World of Pages A mother and daughter teamed up to write a picture book about time and culture

ina Cascone and Bryony Williams Sheppard want to show kids the entire world in just an hour.

The mother and daughter are the co-authors of a picture book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World Right Nowâ&#x20AC;? (Sleeping Bear Press), which uses words and illustrations to tell readers what is going on in each of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24 times zones at one precise moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we stop in each time zone in a location,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and discuss something that is culturally happening in that area in that time zone at that very moment, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all happening at the exact same time.â&#x20AC;? Cascone lives in Lawrence and has written 30 books, and also has written for film and television. Sheppard, her daughter, lives in Ewing and is a teacher at Princeton Junior School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea came because Bree was saying she wanted to write a picture book, she wanted books for her classroom,â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yeah, yeah, yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll write a picture book.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Then my granddaughter became obsessed, for some reason, with time: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What time is it in China right now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What time is in Italy right now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What time is it in London right now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to bed that night and I woke up and I thought, Oh my gosh, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the book,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What time is it right now in China? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening right now in China? So I think a lot of the credit for where this book came from goes to the clever and curious mind of a child.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World Right Now,â&#x20AC;? starts at 6 a.m. in San Francisco, and moves around the world to find out what else is happening at the same exact moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we end up back at San Francisco, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning,â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fact that all around the world at this one moment in time, something wonderful is happening everywhere.â&#x20AC;? For example, in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Times Square, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9 a.m. and everyone is on their way to work. Meanwhile in Madagascar at 4 p.m., a family is picnicking on the Avenue of Baobabs as a lemur tries to steal their food. And at 11 a.m. in Rio de Janeiro, a girl from Ipanema goes walking on the beach. While Sheppard wanted to write a book that could be used in the classroom, she says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also perfect for reading at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think parents would love reading it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple of friends who have been reading it to their kids and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been loving sitting down and reading it. I snuggle up with my kids and read it to them,

Bryony Williams Sheppard and Gina Cascone teamed up to write the new picture book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World Right Now.â&#x20AC;? despite the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard it 1,000 times.â&#x20AC;? The concept did present challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you try to do something simple and easy, you realize how little you know about things,â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so we went around the world, we went down each time zone, and you have to pick a place and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in that place. Well, when we got to 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning we went down the whole time zone and there was nothing there at 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning.â&#x20AC;? Then they focused on the Pacific Ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We panicked for a little bit and then we said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wait, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ocean, the ocean is full of life,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Sheppard says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning, a baby humpback whale is born.â&#x20AC;?

Writing the book required a lot of research, Sheppard says Google became her best friend during the writing process. The authors even called a librarian in Hawaii to find out what might be happening at 4 a.m. there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so helpful and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Give me some time, can I call you back,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sure,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; thinking, Is she really going to call us back? Well, she did. A few hours later she called us back with some suggestions and the one we liked best was that at 4 oclock in the morning, some people in Hawaii get up to go surfing before they go to work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the Dawn Patrol, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting that at 4 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning, something interesting is happening.â&#x20AC;?

SUMMER FUN By Anthony Stoeckert

Ups and Downs at Grounds For Sculpture

rounds For Sculpture’s newest installation is designed to bring out the inner kid in all of us. “Impulse,” is a 42-acre park decorated with 15 giant see-saws. Located at the southern end of Grounds For Sculpture’s Great lawn, the intent of the see-saws is to create a work of art that is an interactive playground. The installation will be open June 11 through July 9, and is part of Grounds For Sculpture’s 25th anniversary celebration of pop-up events. Impulse, which debuted in Montreal in 2015, was created by architect Lola Sheppard and lighting designer Conner Sampson, with sound design by Mitchell Akiyama. “Impulse will add new dimensions of fun for visitors of all ages,” Gary Schneider, executive director of Grounds For Sculpture says. “We’re thrilled to host such a dynamic and interactive art-installation, and to be able to offer our guests that much more reason to visit the sculpture park after dark.” Grounds For Sculpture is hosting various events during the summer. The sculpture park will host a Father’s Day barbecue,

Art meets play at a new pop-up installation of seesaws at Grounds For Sculpture. June 18, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. The barbecue will take place at the Gazebo, and will include a menu of hot dogs, burgers, veggie burgers, cold beer, and more. Dessert will include ice cream sundaes and slushies. Another family-fun highlight of the summer is a series of outdoor movie screenings. On July 6, Grounds For Sculpture

will screen “Sister Act” starring Whoopi Goldberg. The series will continue Aug. 10 with a screening of “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest.” Bring a blanket, and enjoy a picnic basket from the Peacock Café or snacks from the Gazebo. Order up a cocktail at Rat’s

Restaurant Happy Hour before heading into the park for the film. Picnic baskets can be reserved 24 hours in advance of each engagement by calling 609-890-6015. A highlight of any summer is Rat’s Clam Bake, featuring food from Rat’s, the renowned restaurant at Grounds For Sculpture. This year’s clam bake is set for July 14.

Where mothers can bond with their kids Daytop New Jersey at Crawford House opens its new Family Support Center By Rich Fisher Special Writer In its relentless and necessary quest to provide recovering female addicts the chance to live a productive life, Daytop New Jersey at Crawford House in Skillman took another big step on May 23 when it opened its new Family Support Center with an official ribbon cutting. With Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno serving as guest speaker, Daytop NJ at Crawford House opened its newest facility, where mothers can rebuild broken relationships and establish trust with their children and other family members. It serves as a complement to the nearby residential building located over 14 serene acres on Sunset Road in Skillman. The first halfway house in central New Jersey to admit indigent and homeless women exclusively, Crawford House supplies housing and treatment for up to 23 women in early recovery from addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. And while they are able to see their children in the residential area, the Family Support Center allows more one-on-one-time between mother and child. Mothers could see their kids in the residential building, but not in a very personal way. “This just really enhances it,” said James Curtin, president/CEO of Daytop Village, during an interview in the living room area of the FSC prior to the ribbon cutting. “Since [the original facility] is a home where the women live together, they cook and clean and have their therapy there and then they go out to groups and work and have 12-step meetings. This is a place where they can have individual time with their children. There wasn’t really ample space for that over there.” To understand why Daytop NJ at Crawford House and its new FSC is so important is to be presented with some grim facts. Nearly 80 percent of the residents, whose average age is 29, are in for heroin addiction. None are employed, half of them have children, 85 percent have legal issues and 10 percent have no health insurance. Curtin discovered an even more alarming and disturbing statistic while advocating for funding in Washington D.C. “I heard at a congressional briefing, that every 16 minutes in this country somebody dies of an opioid overdose,” he said. “That’s 91 people a day. Last year over 33,000 people died of an opioid overdose, whether it’s heroine or some kind of prescription pain pill. The heroin epidemic that’s sweeping across this country is devastating and it doesn’t discriminate, it affects all walks of life.” The CEO added that five years ago, about half of the Crawford House residents were heroin addicts, and that number was just 10 percent 10 years ago. As of now, the other 20 percent are addicted to alcohol or other drugs, such as cocaine or marijuana. Whatever the issue, the staff at Crawford House is there to educate women about the disease of addiction, help them understand their own addiction and connect them with supportive networks within the recovering community to help them sustain long-term recovery. They work with around 100 residents per year. Residents stay for an average of three and to months. Because of their connections with small area businesses, Crawford House is often able to find some type of jobs for outgoing residents. The staff includes people who are in recovery themselves and others with degrees in counseling or social work. All are passionate in what they do. “You have to be married to the mission,” Curtin said. Crawford House opened in April 1979 and accepted eight residents in a temporary location. Three months later it moved to its current location and capacity increased to 14 soon after. New construction was completed in 2005 and there are now 23 beds. In May, 2014, Daytop Village merged with Crawford House. “[The merger] just allows us to reach and serve more lives, more people, more families,“ said Curtin, who is a 1984 graduate of the Daytop program, referring to himself as a troubled teen who started at age 5. “We can apply our mission effectively to another population. Daytop operates youth residential treatment programs, outpatient treatment programs for both adults and adolescents. And Crawford House is kind of unique in

Crawford House cut the ribbon on its new Family Support Center, May 23. Below, a room in the center where mothers who are staying at Crawford House can spend time with their children. our continuum of care here as a woman’s halfway house. This is a very different level of care.“ It is care designed for women — many of them younger — who go through residential treatment but have no place to go afterward. There is no housing, no supportive environment. They can come to Crawford House provided they are clean for 14 days, and their 12-step program and preparation for the “real world” will continue. “This is really a perfect step for them in a continuum of care,” Curtin said. “A halfway house is really designed for just that — halfway between residential treatment and living independently in the communities. So ideally when the women who go through treatment here are done, they’re living independently, meaning they have a house or an apartment. “Very often it’s difficult for the woman to go out on her own for economical reasons. The economics dictate sometimes they share houses or rent apartments together. So ideally a woman who finishes a program here will be in the community working and sober with housing and continuing on with their 12-step, whether it’s Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous as a support system.” And now, with the Family Support Center, these mothers have an excellent chance at re-entering the community having formed a much stronger relationship with their child. The FSC provides a cozy, somewhat less rigid atmosphere for children to visit with their moms. It includes a kitchen where they can prepare meals together, a TV area to enjoy movies or shows, and a small area to relax and play games, break out coloring books, or just talk in a relaxing environment. “What we wanted was a more private, intimate space for women to visit with their children,” Curtin said. “Many of the women who have children have issues with child protective services. So this is a good place for them to have supervised or unsupervised visits where they can further the emotional bond with their children.

“The vast majority of our mothers here have given up custody or some kind of kinship care, or possibly have had their children taken from them in the saddest of cases due to their addiction. This gives them space in a much more homelike setting to be able to interact with their children while they’re here on treatment. So when they move on to wherever their next phase is, very often it will be in an apartment in a community with a job, and hopefully they’ll have parental visits and much more involvement with their children.” In her sometimes emotional speech at the Family Support Center ribbon cutting, Guadagno talked about how Crawford House not only touches its residents’ lives in a positive manner, but the lives of their families and friends as well. She noted that the facility will allow women to rebuild their families as they learn how to parent and hold their child, and their child learns what it’s like to be held again. “People need to know the value of what goes on in that [residential] building, so they can understand the importance of what will go on in this [new] building,” Guadagno said. “I don’t think you can put a dollar figure on it. For most of the women that are here, they are staring into the darkness and facing the absolute darkest hour of their lives. “Yet from out of the darkness, from out of this sense of despondence, you provide them with hope. You who are here every day and see miracles every day, and oh my God I bet you see disappointments too. The new facility is an example of the light that you provide for all of us. It is simply unacceptable in this state, this country with the wealth that we have that there are not enough beds or services to help all the people who need it. This facility gives us hope.”

The FSC project was made possible by funding from the Robert Wood Johnson 1962 Charitable Trust, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the Montgomery-Rocky Hill and Hillsborough rotary clubs, Wade and Lee Ann Martin, Mark and Tracey Simon, Amy Karyn Home and a gift in memory of Shirley Martin. The contributions received from public sector sources cannot meet the cost of the entire operation. Curtin noted that Crawford House has an annual budget of $850,000 per year — roughly $130 per day per resident. Around $400,000 comes from public funding, but the other $450,000 is raised from private donations. For those wishing to donate, go to www.daytopnj.org, and click on the on the green box in the upper right hand corner. Specify that your donation goes to Crawford House. “We know that with every one dollar spent on treatment, society can save seven to eight dollars on incarceration, emergency room visits, and unintended health consequences,” Curtin said. “Even people who think, ‘That’s somebody else’s problem,’ there’s an economic reason to address it. If these women were not here, there’s a very good chance a vast majority of them would be incarcerated because of drug addiction. If they’re incarcerated, you and I are paying. From a humanistic standpoint to an economic standpoint it makes sense.” Guadagno summed it up in her speech, saying, “For the hundred women who will come through this building every year, they will walk out on average after four months and go out in the real world and be probably facing the same challenges they faced before. But with the people here, I have no doubt they will have the strength and the tools and the skills that they need to survive.”

Create a safe and enjoyable backyard play area

Homeowners often aspire to have attractive backyards that look like they belong in a magazine. While these can be picturesque and functional for adults, they may not be entirely practical for homeowners who have young children, especially when the majority of the yard is covered with paving stones or concrete. When young children are part of a household, homeowners may benefit by designing yards that are both functional and fun. Incorporating safe play areas for kids is one way to unlock the potential of both

big and small backyards. As children run off to enjoy a playground, safety is the last thing on their minds. Kids are most interested in scaling ladders to treehouses or coasting down slides. That’s why adults must take it upon themselves to keep injury prevention in mind. When considering playground equipment for the yard, parents need to make safety a priority. Follow the “5 S’s of Playground Safety”: Surface: Parents should assume that children will fall. To lessen the blow of falls, choose playground equipment

with a perimeter of six feet of a softer surface, such as sand, pea gravel, rubber pieces or wood chips. This material should be between six and 12 inches deep. Structure: The structure of the play equipment should be built from sturdy materials. Pressure-treated lumber was once the standard, but it’s not adviseable for kids’ playgrounds, as the chemicals used in the lumber can leach and young children may actually bite or pick at the wood. Use cedar or another wood that resists decay. Once the structure

Playsets should be made of sturdy wood. is built, inspect it frequently for damage. Site: Look around the land-

scape for an ideal place to locate the playset. There should be no obstacles that children can hit while sliding or swinging. Avoid overhanging branches and do not place equipment too close to trees or fencing. Try to keep the set out of direct sunlight, which can make components heat up and scald young bodies. Supervision: Do not leave children alone while they are playing. Prevent children from using the playset in an incorrect manner. Safety: Follow the direc-

tions for installation. Make sure all posts are anchored into the ground securely. Railings should be spaced so that children cannot get stuck between them. Check that metal components have not rusted and that there is no additional excessive wear. Be sure that no tools or other dangerous items are left around the yard. Backyard playgrounds should be built with safety in mind. Learn the rules of play equipment and yard safety. — Metro Creative Connection

Kathryn Watterson shares the stories of African-American Princeton

Among the things I admire about author Kathryn “Kitsi” Watterson, a longtime acquaintance of mine, is her distaste for pleated skirts. When she first arrived in Princeton in 1987, she heard about a Princeton authors event at the public library and was told that if she went, the standard clothing uniform for participants was a conservative, pleated skirt. “I actually bought a skirt and hated the way it looked. It was frumpy,” she said to me at a more recent event — a June 1, 2017 Princeton University Reunions panel discussion that focused on her recently published book,” I Hear My People Singing: Voices of African-American Princeton.” Topping the list of things that I admire about Watterson, however, is her extraordinary ability to interview and then communicate in writing other people’s’ stories, a skill abundantly evident in her book. I now live on Quarry Street within the historic black neighborhood with which Watterson has bonded. Since reading the book — an oral history with a soul — I know that my strolls past the churches, homes, store fronts, my friends and neighbors will be forever altered. The book gave me not only 20/20 vision, but also X-ray vision into my immediate surroundings and the Princeton community.

As described by the book’s publisher, Princeton University Press, Watterson tells the stories of more than 50 black residents, and writes about their lives throughout the 20th century. “Their stories show that the roots of Princeton’s African American community are as deeply intertwined with the town and university as they are with the history of the United States, the legacies of slavery, and the nation’s current conversations on race. “Drawn from an oral history collaboration with residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, Princeton undergraduates, and their professor, Kathryn Watterson, neighbors speak candidly about Jim Crow segregation, the consequences of school integration, World Wars I and II, and the struggles for equal opportunities and civil rights. Despite three centuries of legal and economic obstacles, African American residents have created a flourishing, ethical, and humane neighborhood in which to raise their children, care for the sick and elderly, worship, stand their ground, and celebrate life.” Once I got past the wonder of the stories and the profound lessons for Princetonians and all Americans, I wondered about the story behind the individual who compiled this treas-

Kathryn Watterson was born in Iowa, raised in Kansas, went to high school and college in Arizona, worked as a reporter in Philadelphia, volunteered for the Peace Corps in Malaysia, taught creative at writing for decades to college students (Princeton University and University of Pennsylvania), and wrote nine books. She also sings and plays percussion with

an improvisational band, The Unity. The fact of the matter is that before Watterson arrived in Princeton in 1987, she had zero connection to the town of Princeton, its Witherspoon neighborhood residents, or Princeton University. “I was living in New York City as a single mother, trying to make it as a freelance writer after moving there for a job that ultimately fell through,”

she said. “The financial challenges of living in New York were too overwhelming, and I knew I was going to have to move. But for child-rearing reasons, I had to remain within a 50-mile radius of the city. I picked Princeton for no reason other than it intuitively seemed to be a place that would be welcoming to a writer, and it had good accessibility to New York and Philadelphia, where I had friends.” Watterson found moderately priced housing in the Jugtown neighborhood of town. She was my neighbor for 15 years, before she moved to Philadelphia to teach at the University of Pennsylvania, and before I moved out of Jugtown to live in the Witherspoon neighborhood. “When I first came to town, I knew no one and yearned for conversation,” Watterson said. “I wrote a column in the Jersey section of The New York Times about how quiet it was in town. I actually started going to The Carousel (the much loved and now defunct breakfast/lunch “townie” establishment on Nassau Street) just to hear voices and stories.” She met Princeton storyteller Susan Danoff, who recommended her for a job in the Princeton University Writing Program. Even though Watterson lacked an advanced degree, the program director recognized the value of her work and fought to get her hired and to keep her employed, said Watterson, who did go on to get her master’s. Without an obvious relationship to the black community in Princeton, Watterson nevertheless felt an intense connection that began as a project in the creative writing class she was teaching. “‘Voices’ took root one summer day in 1999, when I met with two men from the Witherspoon neighborhood for advice about a writing seminar I was planning for students at Princeton University, where I

was a lecturer,” she writes in the book. “The course required my students to volunteer weekly in soup kitchens, crisis centers, rescue missions, homeless shelters, after-school sessions, or other programs, and to write about what they learned. . ..“ The two men were Henry (Hank) Pannell and Clyde (Buster) Thomas, actively engaged a variety of community serving projects, including mentoring children and teenagers, driving older folks to church and to doctor appointments, and working to keep housing affordable for black residents. “We had been talking a while when Hank sat forward, ‘Your poverty course sounds just wonderful,’” Watterson said. “His voice grew louder. ‘But what we want is an oral history of our community.’” Watterson called the moment “magical.” Her writing prior to the Witherspoon neighborhood epiphany was dedicated to giving voice to just causes and the human condition. Even though the Witherspoon project — its scope and complexity — seemed impossible at first, it also was an irresistible magnetic force drawing her into the next chapter of her life as an author. Nell Irvin Painter, historian and author of “The History of White People,” wrote the following review for the publication: “An extraordinary and most necessary book, I Hear My People Singing recasts American history as a whole by presenting in their own words the full lives of black Princetonians, lives forged within the utterly everyday Americanness of enslavement, segregation, and insult. This book is so very welcome, now that we are facing up to the realities of white supremacy in even so admirable a place as Princeton. Thank you, Kathryn Watterson, for letting us hear from these Princetonians so long behind the veil.”

Treatment options for menopause

From hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and decreased libido, menopause can cause a range of symptoms that can have a significant impact on a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellbeing. It is important that women talk to their gynecologist about menopause and the many options that are available to help manage symptoms as they go through the change of life. Defining menopause Menopause is a natural phase in a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life defined by the absence of a menstrual period for one year. Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop making estrogen, a hormone that controls the menstrual cycle. The average age that women experience menopause is 51, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. However, in the years leading up to menopause, estrogen levels begin fluctuating, periods become irregular and symptoms may start to occur. Though everyone is different, perimenopause begins on average at age 46. Symptoms vary

Aside from changes in the menstrual cycle, a variety of other symptoms can occur during perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms can be mild to severe and may include: â&#x20AC;˘ Hot flashes. A hot flash is a sudden feeling of heat in the upper part or all of your body. During a hot flash, your face and neck may become flushed and red blotches may appear on your chest, back and arms. Heavy sweating and cold shivering can follow. Most hot flashes last between 30 seconds and 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;˘ Night sweats and sleep disturbances. Night sweats are hot flashes that are strong enough to wake you up from your sleep. In addition, other sleep disturbances like trouble falling or staying asleep may start to occur around midlife. â&#x20AC;˘ Vaginal and urinary tract changes. As estrogen levels decrease, the lining of the vagina may become thinner, drier and less elastic. This could cause discomfort, especially during intercourse and, along with hormone changes, could lead to low sex drive. Related health problems include increase risk for vaginal and urinary tract in-

fections. â&#x20AC;˘ Mood changes. Though there is no concrete scientific link to declining estrogen, women often report increased irritability or moodiness around the time of menopause. Treating menopause symptoms While menopause in and of itself is a natural condition, many women seek treatment to manage their symptoms. Treatment approaches vary depending on the symptoms being targeted and may include: â&#x20AC;˘ Systemic hormone replacement therapy. Systemic hormone replacement therapy has been shown to be the most effective medical treatment for managing hot flashes as well as night sweats and vaginal dryness. Hormone therapy means taking estrogen and progestin together, or estrogen only if you have had a hysterectomy. Taking progestin helps reduce the risk of uterine cancer that is associated with estrogen-only therapy. Hormone therapy comes in many forms including pills, patches, and gels and sprays that are applied to the skin. For women whose only symptom is vaginal dryness, local estrogen therapy in the forms of rings, tablets

or creams may be recommended. While hormone therapy is effective, it does have risks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration suggests that women who want to use hormone therapy to manage menopause symptoms use the lowest dose for the shortest time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. â&#x20AC;˘ Non-hormonal medications. Certain medications that are approved for other uses, such as certain antidepressants and drugs to treat hypertension, have demonstrated a good degree of success in treating hot flashes and other symptoms. â&#x20AC;˘ Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants. Over-thecounter moisturizers and lubricants can relieve vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse. â&#x20AC;˘Phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are estrogenlike substances found in some cereals, vegetables, legumes (including soy) and herbs. Some women report that consuming foods containing phytoestrogens help reduce their symptoms. â&#x20AC;˘ Alternative therapies. Chinese herbal medicine along with acupuncture has been shown to be effective in helping to manage hot flashes.

Staying healthy after menopause After menopause, women are at increased risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Taking steps to reduce your risk for these conditions can help you stay healthy during your postmenopause years. â&#x20AC;˘ Eat a healthy diet, low in fat and high in fiber with plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole-grains. Make sure to include enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet to help keep your bones strong. â&#x20AC;˘ Exercise. Regular exercise slows down bone loss and is good for your overall health. Strength training especially helps to maintain strong bones while aerobic conditioning keeps your heart healthy. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for heart disease and is a risk

factor for osteoporosis. Additionally, smoking can lead to early menopause. If you are considering treatment for menopause symptoms, talk with your gynecologist about an approach that is right for you. Also, make sure to get check-ups regularly. Your gynecologist can help you prepare for the transition to menopause and understand what to expect as your body changes.
