Music of the Land J.D Malone is one of the performers at this year’s Sourland Music Festival By Mike Morsch

.D Malone has discovered that the most important thing for songwriters is they have to constantly create, and hone their skills. So that’s what he does — he constantly creates. “I’ve heard it said so many times, beginning songwriters get caught up in the excitement of the inception of the idea,” Malone says. “What happens is that the inception of the idea is an amazing feeling, it’s a euphoria. But mature songwriters know that once that euphoria of the inception wears off, then comes the hard work of refinement. And that’s what most people don’t have, either the skill or the determination to push through.” Malone has both the skill and the determination to continue to push through the art of making music, and the result of those efforts will be on full display when J.D Malone and the Experts is one of the featured bands at the 14th annual Sourland Music Festival, presented by the “It’s kind of like when you’re trying to master Sourland Conservancy, June 17 at the Hillsborough an instrument, you have to learn the rules of the Golf and Country Club. instrument,” Malone says. “Then you want to be able The other artists performing that day include The to push the boundaries.

And then “With outdoor festivals, people are pretty excited you go through the whole process of becoming a to go to them and it’s usually a good vibe, as long as craftsman with it.

But it’s also exciting, too.” was always interested in music. While in the Navy, Malone — who brings with him a high-energy he played in a band, and upon his discharge, moved stage presence — does two types of shows, one that’s to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania — where he is still singer-songwriter with just him and his guitar; the based — and paid his dues playing in bar bands. other is with the Experts, an experienced and skilled Malone had his most commercial success as an group of musicians that includes Avery Coffee on artist with his own band, Steamroller Picnic, from electric guitar, Jim Miades on bass guitar, Tommy 1993 through 2004.

create tension, it can create a sadness, a happiness, all on its own.” Malone’s last album, “Town and County,” was released in March 2016 and garnered several good reviews. “With 25 years of keeping on keeping on under his belt, if Malone sounds like a college coffeehouse folk rocker letting loose, bet on it being organic,” Chris Spector of Midwest Record wrote about the album. “With feel-good jangly guitars leading the way, this cat has been around the block a few times but he still enjoys the sights and sounds — as well as the exercise. Making them the way they don’t anymore, this is a dandy, diverse set that you can tell comes right from the heart throughout. Check it out.” Malone said he’s looking forward to returning to the Sourland Music Festival, and he’s confident that his future looks bright. “I always say myself and to other people — and I really believe it — I feel the depth of my music career is yet to come,” he says. “Even though I may have already had some musically related awesome times, I feel the best is yet to come because I believe that my songwriting is getting better and better all the time.” For a lot of festival-goers, food is as important as the music. Food trucks and vendors will offer such dishes as pulled pork, burgers, hot dogs, kettle corn, cheesecake on a stick and more. Available at the adult beverage tent will be specialty drinks form Sourland Spirits, local beer, and award-winning wines from Unionville Vineyards. Discounts are available to attendees who buy a festival mug. Free water will be available. Bringing a refillable bottle is recommended. No coolers will be admited. New this year is a VIP experience including a buffet using locally sourced, sustainably grown food, a “Sourland Punch” and a Ryland Inn gift certificate. Proceeds from the festival help the Sourland Conservancy in its stewardship and advocacy initiatives. The Sourland’s 90-square-mile contiguous forest provides habitat for many threatened and endangered species. Sourland streams are headwaters of the Delaware and Raritan rivers that provide drinking water to millions of people.

The Sourland Music Festival will take place at the polo field at Hillsborough Golf and Country Club, 146 Wertsville Road, Hillsborough, June 17, 3-10 p.m. Rain date is June 18, 2-9 p.m. Admission costs $35, $25 online, $10 children ages 7-12.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

Oh, What a Knight! The Princeton Festival brings ‘Man of La Mancha’ to the Matthews Acting Studio

I

don’t know what it is with me and “Man of La Mancha,” but it just doesn’t get to me. Here’s a show about a dreamer who keeps dreaming despite the dreariness of the world around him, and who convinces a woman who’s given up on life to believe in herself. It’s the kind of story I get choked up over just thinking about, and it has some terrific music. But I’ve seen two versions of this legendary musical now and I’ve been unaffected both times. Having said that, if you’re like the millions of people who have made “Man of La Mancha“ a beloved part of the musical theater canon, you’re bound to love the production being presented by the Princeton Festival at the Matthews Acting Studio in Princeton through June 25. I can’t imagine having many opportunities to see performers so good in such an intimate setting. Photo by Jessi Franko Inspired by “Don Quixote,” “Man of La Mancha” was written by Dale Wasserman, Sandra Marante as Aldonza/Dulcinea and Jesse Malgieri as Don with music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Quixote/Alonso Quijana in “Man of La Mancha.” Joe Darion. Based on a teleplay by WasserCervantes has been imprisoned because fight is jarring. man, it opened in 1965, ran on Broadway he’s worked as a tax collector (hey, artists The inmates set up a trial and charge for more than 2,300 performances and won have to pay the bills you know) and fore- Cervantes with being an idealist, a bad poet five Tonys, including Best Musical. closed on a church.

They are soon attacked by their fellow Cervantes convinces them to put him on Cervantes is a poet and actor. A fellow ininmates, and we get our first hint of how trial. If found guilty, he hands over his posmate asks if being a poet is a crime. When powerful this production can be. Seeing the sessions, except a manuscript the others Cervantes says no, the inmate says, “too violence and the faces on the actors as they want to burn. The leader, known as the Govbad.” ernor, agrees. The actor uses his tools of the trade — makeup, costumes, props — to become Alonso Quijano, an older man who renames himself Don Quixote. Cervantes gets the other prisoners to help act out his play, and soon Quixote is at an inn where he meets Aldonza (Sandra Marante), who he thinks is Lady Dulcinea. As Quixote pledges his loyalty to Dulcinea, Aldonza, accustomed to being belittled, even abused, is skeptical, but part of her is intrigued by this would-be knight. The best scenes are between Jesse Malgieri as Quixote, Marante as Aldonza, and Jordan Bunshaft as Sancho Panza,

Quixote’s loyal sidekick. Aldonza knows Quixote is delusional, but she starts to believe in herself, and in some ways, for him. The studio is set up with black box staging — seating set up in front and at the sides of the performance space, with some action taking place in the catwalk. This set-up is so intimate you’re likely to be within a few feet of actors at some point. But, if you’re at the side seating (as I was on opening night), you’re likely to have your view impeded by an actor’s back at some point. During one key scene between Quixote and Aldonza, a pole was between the two of them. As for the people facing the front of the space, it seemed the use of bright lighting in one scene led to some audience members shading their eyes. But those are small prices to pay for such an intimate experience. The thrill of this production is seeing these actors up close. Marante is a standout as Aldonza. During the number “What Does He Want of Me” you sense the character’s humanity, her grappling with her well-earned cynicism, and the possibility that she is worthy of the admiration this false knight shows her. Malgieri holds the show together as Cervantes/Quixote. His voice is wonderful and he captures the essence of this character, the nobility, the pride, the optimism. Banshaft gets a lot of the show’s laughs as Sancho Panza and the actors who play the prisoners and various characters are all terrific, particularly Patrick James as the Governor/Innkeeper. Of course, the show has some good songs: “Man of Mancha,” “What Does He Want of Me” and, most famously, “The Impossible Dream.” It also has a quote from Quixote that resonates much differently today than the character intends: “Facts are the enemy of the truth.“

Don Quixote continues at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Matthews Acting Studio, 185 Nassau St., Princeton, through June 25. For tickets availability, call 609-258-2787.

Leadership and Morals Shakespeare ’70 is bringing ‘Measure for Measure’ to Kelsey Theatre

T

he themes Shakespeare covers in “Measure for Measureâ€? include power, love, lust, leadership, and decaying morals. It’s about how leaders lose touch with their people, and hypocrisy in those who would judge and condemn others. In other words, it’s about how people haven’t changed over the last 400 or so years. “Measure for Measure,â€? which Shakespeare ’70 is performing June 23 to July 2 at Kelsey Theatre in West Windsor, is set in Vienna. Duke Vincentio (John Bergeron) is upset with the decline in morals he is seeing in his people. He puts his deputy Angelo (Ray Fallon) in charge while he supposedly goes on a diplomatic mission. In truth, he stays in Vienna, disguised as a friar. The newly in charge Angelo arrests Claudio (a role that will be shared by John Fischer and Michael Krahel) because Claudio impregnated his fiancĂŠ, Juliet (Kelly Colleran) before they were married. To set an example, Angelo sentences Claudio to death. Claudio has a sister, Isabella (Morgan Petronis), who is set to enter a nunnery. She pleads her brother’s case to Angelo, who is taken by Isabella and makes a deal with her: He’ll let Claudio go if she sleeps with him. “Once you get into it, it’s interesting to see that people don’t change, people look at things in black-and-white and view themselves in black-and-white,â€? says Janet Quartarone, who is the assistant director for the production. “And then they learn something about themselves and go on a journey, and power can corrupt. All of those things never change.â€? “Measure for Measureâ€? is typically labeled one of Shakespeare’s “problem playsâ€? because it doesn’t fall neatly into the comedy or tragedy categories. “There is so much nuanced character stuff going on, and it’s not necessarily clear on the page,â€? Quartarone says. “When you first start to read it, you say, ‘What is going on with this guy, or what is going on with that woman?’ It’s more nuanced and it’s one of the ones they like to call a problem play. It’s not a history, and it’s not a clear comedy because it’s not lighthearted all the time, but it’s not a tragedy either because the stage is not littered with bodies at the end. It’s different, and it’s about some problems, so they call it a problem play, because it’s about disorder.â€? Bergeron says even the most dramatic scenes have some irony. “For my character, there are scenes that would seem to be bereft of comedy, and I’m hoping while working on it to find, maybe not gut-busting comedy, but find the irony, the humor, the difference in the world views between the characters that can be funny,â€? he says. During the rehearsal process, Quartarone said the cast

John Bergeron will play the Duke when Shakespeare ’70 brings “Measure for Measure� to Kelsey Theatre. and crew were still exploring how much of the play is drama and comedy. Some moments are clearly part of the dramatic conflict, while others involving the street people, or the character Pompey, servant to Mistress Overdone, are clearly meant to get laughs. “But then there are scenes where these two worlds come together and kind of overlap, and we’re exploring how you

strike the right balance in those scenes, where both of those types of people are present,� Quartarone says. “I think it’s going to be very dynamic, I think it’s going to be shifting and I think that will be interesting to the audience.� In some ways, the Duke is a character modern-day audiences can relate to, as he exits his sequestered life to interact with the people he leads. “As a duke he’s been able to get away with that, he has people bring things to him,� Bergeron says. “He has the intention, even the arrogance, that he’s going to be proved right and justified in his thinking that all the laws of Vienna are ultimately correct, that all of the strict statutes as he calls them are ultimately the proper decisions no matter how fierce they may be.� Shakespeare ’70’s production, which is being directed by John F. Erath, also is focusing on the black-and-white thinking of the characters, in that many characters think they are all right and others are all wrong. Quartatone says the production will emphasize that with sets and lighting. As for the time frame, Shakespeare ’70 is keeping “Measure for Measure� in a traditional era. “Despite the fact that these folks are going to be in period costumes, the stakes, the situations, the way they interact with each other, the faults that they have are the same as today, they’re very relatable,� Quartarone says. “Other than Shakespeare’s language, I don’t think it feels very removed at all from the way people act now. The time frame is kind of medieval, we wanted to make it gritty.�

Shakespeare ’70 will perform “Measure for Measure� at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, June 23-July 2. Tickets cost $18, $16 seniors, $14 students; www.kelseytheatre.net; 609-570-3333.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

‘The Glass Menagerie’ at Kelsey

T

ennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” is one of the great American plays, and Mauer Productions OnStage is presenting a solid version of it at Kelsey Theatre through June 18. The drama has a small cast, just four characters, five if you count the absentee father whose picture looms over his wife and kids. Although this play is oft-performed, it’s a challenge for actors, because there’s no place for them to hide. Thankfully, the actors in this version are up to the task, particularly Laurie Hardy who play Amanda Wingfield. Amanda is the mother of two children, Tom (played by Robert Forero) and Laura (Jessica Braynor). Tom is our narrator and host. He tells the audience he has tricks in his pocket, but he is not a magician. “He gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth, I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion,”

Tom says. We can tell Tom is a sailor, based on how he is dressed. He tells us he’s taking us back to the ’30s in St. Louis, where he lived with his mother and sister. There will be another character, a Gentleman Caller (Malik Khaaliq). Amanda is the most challenging character here, and Hardy does a good job of playing her. Amanda is overbearing to her kids in different ways. She is hard on Tom, getting on him for the way he eats, his smoking, and the way he spends his time (he says he goes to the movies but its clear he’s up to more nefarious activities). Amanda may seem more patient with Laura, who is disabled (a more politically incorrect term of the time is used in the play), but Amanda is equally hard on her daughter as on her son. She talks of Laura being ready for gentleman callers, though Malik Khaaliq and Jessica Braynor in “The Glass Menagerie.” Laura never has had one. Laura also has quit going to typing school, which leaves Amanda exasperated, with no skills and no husband, there is no hope for her daughter. Laura copes by speding a lot of time looking at the figures in her glass menagerie of the title. You could even say she loses herself in the delicate figures. Worried about Laura, Amanda insists that Tom invite a friend over to join the family dinner. She wants someone for Laura. So Tom brings Jim, who has a history with Laura, dating back to high school. When Laura told Jim she has a disease called Pleurosis, Jim thought she said “blue roses,” and that’s what he always called her. It was an act of kindness Laura never forgot. Laura’s life is dreary, but she and Jim do have a moment together, and this scene is one of the best of the evening. Braynor is wonderful as Laura begins to see hope for her future, and Khaaliq is charming and kind, his Jim has genuine feelings for Laura. Jim is Tom’s best friend at the warehouse where they both work (Jim is Tom’s boss). Tom is a budding poet, someone who’s desperate for something better, and

Jim is the only person at the warehouse who understands, and calls Tom “Shakespeare” (Jim has a way with nicknames). But it turns out Tom doesn’t know much about Jim’s personal life, and this being a Tennessee Williams’ play, Laura is bound to be disappointed. Director Judi Parrish gets fine work out of the actors, and the set by Parrish and John M. Maurer is quite good, with the dining area on a raised platform in the back. In front are well worn pieces of furniture and a Victrola on which Laura plays music, providing her a bit of joy that others find annoying. The ending isn’t as devastating as it usually is; when it was over, I felt as if Laura will be all right, and that this cast and crew have put together a commendable production of an American classic.

“The Glass Menagerie” continues at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, through June 18. Tickets cost $18, $16 seniors, $14 students/children; www.kelsetheatre.net; 609-570-3333.

ARTS NEWS By Anthony Stoeckert

New Programs at Princeton Ballet School

P

rinceton Ballet School has announced a restructuring of its programs for school-aged dancers. Changes by the official school of American Repertory Ballet include a new conservatory program for serious students seeking a more disciplined and intense dance training program. The program will be led by School Director Pamela Levy. Previously, students were selected by faculty or the director to participate in this more rigorous track, currently known as the PLUS Program. Under the new restructuring students can choose to participate until they reach the advance division. The school also is introducing a FLEX program for students who love to dance and are seeking training without the intensity and time commitment of the conservatory pro-

gram. Students will still study with Princeton Ballet School’s faculty, but with more flexibility. “Students who wish to gain all of the benefits of studying dance, in an excellent training atmosphere, but do not want to commit to the rigor of the conservatory program, may opt to study in the FLEX program,” Levy says. “Mrs. Estey believed that all students should have the opportunity to dance in an environment that is appropriate for their level of commitment.” The school’s syllabus remains the same one that was created and developed by Mary Pat Robertson over her 30year tenure running the school. Another new development is the launch of the Douglas Martin Scholarship for Male Dancers which provides full

tuition for all school age males interested in ballet training. “I’m excited to see the restructuring and enhancement of the programs that have been initiated since I’ve become artistic director,” says Douglas Martin. “The Trainee program has grown from seven dancers to over 30 during the past seven years. The apprentice to the company, which will now become ARB2, our second company will give burgeoning young dancers the performing experience they need to get into a professional company. These programs have proved invaluable to ARB producing world class dancers for ARB and companies all over the U.S. and the world.” For more information about American Repertory Ballet and Princeton Ballet School, go to arballet.org or call 609921-7758.

At bottom right, Cirkus’ Potato-Green Bean Salad.

Farmers market specials Put all those delicious summer veggies to use with these dishes from area market managers It’s mid-June, and area farmers markets are up and running and it’s a race to make our favorite summer dishes while vegetables are at their peak. I polled some of the local weekly markets to find their best recipes. Some are from the managers, others are from volunteers and other market organizers. The overriding theme seems to be one of simple, no-fuss preparations that let you save time for other summer pursuits and maybe let the kids help out. Enjoy them, and enjoy your own local market. West Windsor Community Farmers’ Market (www.westwindsorfarmersmarket.org) manager Chris Cirkus says, “Fresh salads featuring farmers market produce and a simple vinaigrette remains one of my all-time favorite things to make. . . The carrot salad is something I grew up eating. Most people think of carrot salad with mayo and raisins, but this one is magical when the garlic and carrots meet.” Both the carrot salad and the potato-green bean salad provide opportunities for kids to help, too. Carrot Salad from Chris Cirkus Red wine vinegar Dijon mustard Fresh garlic Extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper 2 pounds carrots, shredded (organic preferred as they really do taste better) In a large mixing bowl, mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with about a tablespoon of mustard. Whisk together. Add 2 crushed cloves of garlic (the kids like to squeeze the garlic press and it builds their hand muscles for writing). Add 1/2 cup of olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add carrots and toss well. Keeps about 4 days in fridge. Potato-Green Bean Salad From Chris Cirkus Swap out the garlic in the carrot salad dressing for finely chopped shallots — about 1-2 tablespoons. Make the vinaigrette the same way as the carrot salad, swapping out champagne vinegar for the red wine if you like a milder vinegar flavor. Add a small handful of chopped chives. Boil about 2 pounds cut up red potatoes, new potatoes, purple or fingerling potatoes — drain when fork tender. The salad is better if you dress it

when the potatoes are warm. Add ½ pound cut up green beans, par-boiled if you don’t want them too crunchy. Toss well. Chill and then, if you like, add hard-boiled eggs, greens, halved cherry or sun gold tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper before serving. Lorette Pruden, manager of the Montgomery Friends Of Open Space Farmers’ Market (montgomeryfriends.org/farmers-market), loves to make a Southern family favorite, “Corn Maquechoux (ma-shoo), simple, delicious, travels well, easy to make ahead, even better next day. . . what’s not to love? “As written, it is a vegan dish, but the classic version has ham or sausage. So you could always add cubed ham or smoked sausage. Local kielbasa would make it a truly Jersey dish. “This is pretty much from a ‘Southern Living; recipe from March of 1995. You can tell how good it is by the fact I still have it!” Corn Maquechoux from Lorette Pruden 6 to 8 servings 5 large ears of corn 2 tablespoons oil 1 green or red bell pepper 1 medium onion, chopped 1 bay leaf 1 16 ounce can of tomatoes, chopped (or use fresh in season) ½ cup water ½ teaspoon hot sauce (Try Hot Sauce 4 Good, available at local markets, or use the classic Tabasco) Salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl, remove the corn from cob with a sharp knife. In a large skillet, sauté bell pepper and onions in oil until just wilted. Add corn, bay leaf, tomatoes, water, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with scallions. Good hot, cold, or room temperature. Joann Held, manager of Pennington Farmers Market (penningtonfarmersmarket.org), sent along Isaac’s Stir-Fry recipe, which her husband Isaac contributed to a Girl Scout market project. One scout has just begun a Gold Award Project to prepare simple recipes using fresh vegetables that can be distributed by food pantries along with the produce that they give

out. The recipe uses carrots and green beans, but you can find many other delicious combinations at your farmers market, Ms. Held advises, for example broccoli and cauliflower. Isaac’s Stir-Fry from Joann Held Carrots Green beans Wok oil (canola or vegetable oil) Soy sauce Sesame oil (the toasted kind) Peel 3 or 4 carrots. Cut off ends and slice into ¼- to ½-inch pieces (to be fancy, slice on a diagonal, then rotate the carrot less than half way around, then slice, rotate, slice, rotate — this makes pieces that have a lot of sides which are good for stir-frying.) Snap ends off green beans. Use about the same amount as the carrots or maybe a little more. Wash both carrots and beans, and dry with towel. Heat up wok on high and add a few tablespoons of wok oil. When the oil is hot, add all of the vegetables. Stir to get the vegetables coated with the oil. Add soy sauce to taste. I use 4 or 5 shakes (if you don’t like soy sauce, add salt to taste). Stir for a few seconds, then add 3-4 ounces of water from the tap. Cover, and cook on medium for 3 minutes or so, but do not let all of the water evaporate away. Taste a piece with a fork (be careful, it’s hot). It should be easy to chew but not too soft. If the vegetables are not done, add some more water and cook for another minute. When vegetables are done, uncover and stir until all of the water is gone. Turn off the heat. Add a few drops of sesame oil and stir once or twice. Duke Farms Market provided a recipe from their chef, Josh Falzone, who does weekly recipes for the market. Here he polishes up his favorite from last year using kohlrabi. Kohlrabi Salad Recipe and Introduction by Chef Josh Falzone (More recipes are available at www.dukefarms.org) My favorite example of a unique vegetable that simply needed some exposure to make its way to the dinner table is kohlrabi. . . This unfamiliar vegetable is actually in the same family as cabbage and kale and is more versatile than most people realize. Kohlrabi can be cooked like pota-

toes, grated like cabbage for coleslaw or even sliced like radishes for salad. 4 heads kohlrabi 1 lemon Extra-virgin olive oil Fresh herbs Salt and pepper Peel kohlrabi, leaving enough stem to hold onto while slicing. Shave the peeled bulb into a bowl using either a mandolin slicer or a very sharp knife. Zest lemon and save juice. Season shaved kohlrabi with salt and pepper, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Mix well. Add your favorite herbs and lightly fold. Can be served chilled alone or even mixed with baby kale for a leafier salad.

Chelsea Jackson, market manager at Trenton’s Greenwood Avenue Farmers Market (www.greenwoodavefm.org), which is focused on healthy living for Trentonians, provided “a great southern-style seafood gumbo recipe we like to call The Greenwood Gumbo.” It’s made with ingredients found at the market. The catch comes in fresh from 130 Seafood in Asbury Park, our celery and onion comes from Trenton’s urban farm. D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Capital City Farm, our okra and pork are from Norz Hill Farm in Hillsborough, and the delectable herbs for garnish come from Isles!

The Greenwood Gumbo from Chelsea Jackson ½ cup olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped Chopped garlic to taste 1 ½ cups fresh okra slices 1 cup chopped celery 3 tomatoes, diced 1 bay leaf ½ teaspoon thyme ½ pound of pork sausage 1 to 1 ½ pounds medium shrimp Chopped parsley for garnish Sauté onions, peppers, and garlic in olive oil. Add okra, celery, tomatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Simmer for 20 minutes until soft. Add sausage and shrimp. Cook for 15 minutes or until seafood is cooked; add parsley for garnish. Enjoy!

Fighting dementia with a healthy lifestyle

Most everyone knows that a healthy diet and regular exercise are good for your heart, but growing evidence suggests they’re good for your brain too. More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia in the United States, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. As the number of people age 65 and older continues to increase, so does the number of new Alzheimer’s cases. June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to Alzheimer’s disease and raise awareness about how to keep your brain healthy as you age. What is dementia? Dementia is an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, and the majority of cases are linked to Alzheimer’s disease in which high levels of certain proteins, both inside and outside brain cells, make it difficult for cells to stay healthy and communicate with each other. The second most common type of dementia is

vascular dementia, which occurs after a stroke. Many dementias are progressive, meaning symptoms start out slowly and gradually get worse. Symptoms of dementia can vary greatly. Memory problems are typically one of the first signs of dementia, though many people have memory loss issues that are not linked to dementia. Other cognitive difficulties associated with the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias include: • Challenges in planning or solving problems • Difficulty completing familiar tasks • Confusion with time or place • Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships • New problems with words in speaking or writing • Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps • Decreased or poor judgment • Withdrawal from work or social activities • Changes in mood and personality If you or a loved one experience trouble with memory or other cognitive skills, see a doctor to determine a

cause. Early diagnosis and treatment may be able to help slow the progression of dementia and improve quality of life. Reduce your risk As the Alzheimer’s Association reports, research suggests that combining good nutrition with mental, social and physical activities may have a greater benefit in maintaining or improving brain health than any single activity. Many of the same healthy lifestyle habits that are good for your cardiovascular health also benefit your brain. This is because your brain is nourished by a rich network of blood vessels, and anything that damages these vessels can deprive your brain of vital fuel and oxygen. *** To help reduce your risk of cognitive decline, follow these tips: Control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Have your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked regularly by your doctor. If you are on medication to help control your blood pressure or cholesterol, make sure you are taking it as prescribed and that it is working effectively. High blood pressure and cholesterol can lead to

vascular disease and stroke, which can in turn lead to dementia. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese puts you at risk for a range of other health complications including heart disease and diabetes, which can increase your risk for developing dementia. Eat a healthy diet. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, what you eat may have the greatest impact on brain health through its effect on heart health. Evidence suggests that following a Mediterranean diet may help protect the brain. A Mediterranean diet includes relatively little red meat and rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, olive oil and other healthy fats. In addition, limiting salt intake and refraining from processed foods is part of eating healthy. Exercise. Regular physical activity not only helps you maintain a healthy weight and a healthy heart, but research shows it may directly benefit your brain by increasing blood flow and oxygen to your brain cells. Moreover, exercise releases feel-good endorphins that help combat depression, another risk factor for dementia. Minimize alcohol consumption. Excessive alco-

hol consumption can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart disease, and therefore increase the risk for dementia. Federal health guidelines recommend limiting alcohol to no more than one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. Protect your head. Brain injury can increase your risk for cognitive decline and dementia. Always buckle your seatbelt; wear a helmet while riding a bike, skiing or participating in contact sports, and take steps to prevent falls. Sleep well. Be sure you are getting enough quality sleep each night. Sleep helps recharge your body and your brain so you can think clearly and keep your memory sharp. The National Sleep Foundation recommends older adults get between seven and eight hours of sleep every night. Keep a full calendar. Studies indicate that when

older adults engage in social activities they experience less cognitive decline than those who are more isolated. Having a daily routine and schedule also aids memory. Learn something new. Study a new language. Pick up a new instrument. Take art classes. Challenging your brain strengthening its web of connections and creating new connections. By adopting healthy lifestyle habits for your brain and your body, you can reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias and stay sharp as you grow older.

Hedy Shepard: Clothing and customer relationships that last

As Rachel Reiss sat within a colorful and tasteful ambience of women’s clothing discussing her shop, Hedy Shepard, she noticed a customer checking out a garment in the mirror. What happened over the next 10 seconds encapsulated what the Princeton boutique is all about. Reiss began her comment like a typical salesperson trying to make a quick commission. “That’s great on you,” Reiss said. But she noticed the woman struggling to deal with the pucker on the side of the attire, and quickly switched gears from salesperson to concerned friend. “It’s the tucks that are in the fabric,” Reiss told her visitor. “We have this in two colors and it’s meant to do that. But if that’s a little thing that bothers you, it may always bother you.” Just like that, Reiss talked someone out of a possible sale because she cares more about what happens to the clothes after they leave the store, than the money she can make from selling them. When it was suggested that many merchants might try and reel someone in who was indecisive, Reiss assured that will never be the case in this Nassau Street women’s paradise. “You have to tell them,” Reiss said. “Did you ever go out and buy a shirt and you put it on, you’re not sure about it but you buy it anyway? You put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off. And it ends up hanging in your closet. “I want the customer to walk out of here, so confident and loving what they buy, that these clothes don’t hang in their closet. Clothes are meant to be worn. You can’t wear them out although sometimes you wish you could. With the price point and the quality that these customers are buying here, these clothes last forever. She needs to live with what she buys for a long time and like what she sees every time she puts it on.” It is that kind of attitude that helped Rachel and her mother — co-owner Lynn Rabinowitz — celebrate their 17th year in business last week since taking over the shop in 2000. The shop caters to women ages 40 and older. Reiss refers to her customers as “suburban women,” women who want to look their best, but are not continually working out in order to squeeze into a size 2. They have other constructive activities to occupy their lives that they need to dress nicely for. “I’m very fortunate to have women who are working, who care about how they present themselves,” Reiss said. “They’re high profile. They get dressed every day. You look outside and people are walking around in jeans and activewear. You look at our store, and sometimes we wonder about it ourselves. . . ‘Where is everybody wearing these beautiful clothes we bring in?’ Fortunately, they do wear them, they have places to go, they travel, they work.” And they love the fact they can get their size at Hedy Shepard. Reiss noted that several contemporary stores limit

Rachel Reiss has been running Hedy Shepard in Princeton for 17 years. The store specializes in clothing for women 40 and older. their sizes from zero to 8. She and her mother have seen numerous 40-and-overs come into their store “in tears coming from other stores that say, ‘We don’t carry your size.’ It’s horrific to some of them.” Thus, Hedy Shepherd carries sizes from 0 to 14 or 16, depending on the vendor. The key is, this apparel isn’t meant to just cover the body. It is designed to enhance the appearance. “Dressing a suburban woman is about a woman who has interests, hobbies, brains, careers,” Reiss said. “They’re not spending all their time trying to have these perfect size 0 and 2 bodies. They care about their appearance but they’re not fighting to keep the figure they had in their 20s. “We have a lot of women who aren’t size 2, who come here because they know when they walk out they’re going to love what they’re wearing and how they feel and how they represent themselves. They feel good about it. That’s important to us. I’d rather someone walk out and buy nothing, then walk out of here not looking as they should.” Rachel and Lynn keep this in mind while attending countless shows in New York City. Be it classy or casual,

they keep an eye out for their suburban ladies. “I have to cover my women up,” Reiss said. “They’re not sleeveless, they don’t want strappy. They want to be elegantly covered whether it’s their jeans and T-shirts or their evening wear. We run the gamut. We can dress someone for evening, but we’re not cocktail; we’re not mother of the bride. “We’re providing clothes where a woman can go to the event, but we’re not dressing the hostess of the event.

Some of my customers can go real high in designer clothes, and they do go to those places, but they’ll use me for their everyday clothes.” It has been a remarkable career for daughter and mom. Growing up in Yardley, Pennsylvania, trend-setting Reiss “was interested in fashion, but I had a knack for not wanting to dress like everyone else.” She worked in real estate at the time and was a loyal customer of the Hedy Shepard shop in Yardley. “She just loved clothes, she had to be dressed for the See SHOP TALK, Page 6

Tracy K. Smith named poet laureate

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the appointment of Tracy K. Smith as the library’s 22nd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2017-2018. Smith will take up her duties in the fall, opening the library’s annual literary season with a reading of her work at the Coolidge Auditorium. Smith is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, and a professor of creative writing in the humanities at Princeton University, and director of the university’s program in creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts. She succeeds Juan Felipe Herrera as poet laureate. “I am profoundly honored,� Smith said in a press release. “As someone who has been sustained by poems and poets, I understand the powerful and necessary role poetry can play in sustaining a rich inner life and fostering a mindful, empathic and resourceful culture. I am eager to share the good news of poetry with readers and future-readers across this marvelously diverse country.� Smith, a resident of Princeton, joins a long line of distinguished poets who have served in the position. Allen Tate, who served as poet laureate in 1943-44, helped to found the creative writing program at Princeton. Smith is the author of three books of poetry, including “Life on Mars� (2011), winner of the

the 2015 National Book Award in nonfiction.

Tracy K. Smith, director of the Lewis Center for the Arts’ program in creative writing at Princeton, has been named U.S. Poet Laureate. 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; “Duende� (2007), winner of the 2006 James Laughlin Award and the 2008 Essence Literary Award; and “The

Body’s Question� (2003), winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize. She is also the author of a memoir, “Ordinary Light,� (2015), a finalist for

In learning the news of Smith’s appointment, Christopher Eisgruber, president of Princeton University, said, “Tracy K. Smith is a gifted writer whose work sparkles with insight, imagination, and grace. We are fortunate that she teaches at Princeton, and I am delighted that she will now be our country’s poet laureate.� Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton, added, “A brilliant artist and a deeply engaged member of the Princeton community, Tracy will now have even more opportunities to engage with communities across the country about how poetry addresses what it is to live fully, deeply, and consciously at this particular moment in time. When she lifts her voice, we would all do well to attend to what she has to say and how she has to say it.� Born Massachusetts in 1972, and raised in California, Smith earned a B.A. in English and American literature and Afro-American studies from Harvard University and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Columbia University. In addition to Princeton, Smith has taught at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York, at the University of Pittsburgh and at Columbia University.

Shop Talk Continued from Page 5 part in her industry,� Reiss said. After graduating from the George School, Reiss tried college for a year and instantly knew it wasn’t her thing. She went to her mom’s favorite clothes store and got a job at age 19 in the late ‘80s. “She hired me on the spot and my next day I was in New York doing buying for her,� Reiss said. “I think that’s when the bug really hit me.� Hedy soon opened a store in Princeton. After deciding to merge the two shops, they found their current site (a former boutique that was closed due to smoke damage from a fire); and Rachel was sent to work there. She left for slightly over a year to manage a restaurant but returned just in time to have Hedy offer to sell Rachel the store. Thanks to the emotional and financial support of Lynn, Hedy Shepard opened under new ownership in June 2000. “I couldn’t have done it by myself, that’s where my mother came in,� Reiss said. “She got into all of this because of me. She believed in me at a turning point in my life, and wanted to partner with me and make all this happen. I had a mother who believed enough in me in watching me evolve as a young lady, to say ‘I’m leaving what I do and I’m going to partner with you and we’re going to do something together.’ That’s a pretty proud thing for a daughter to be able to say.�

And the two can be pretty proud of the business they have built, with Rachel serving as the creative side and Lynn tending to the business end. While both women go on the buying trips, Rachel has the final say on the inventory but quickly adds “We’ve lasted for 17 years because of my mom’s business brains.� When the two took over they already knew the regular customers so the clientele did not drop off. Instead, it has increased, as the combination of fine clothing, honesty and friendliness makes Hedy Shepard a virtual paradise for wardrobe seekers. The shop features clothing from more than 70 designers, including esteemed names like Peserico, Liviana Conti, Cambio, Planet, Estelle & Finn and Splendid. The atmosphere is a byproduct of the nice people who run the shop. Victoria Pace is assistant to the owners, while two parttimers comprise the remainder of the five-woman staff. “It’s a kind, gentle atmosphere,� Rachel noted. “We’re not pushy. When you walk in it’s like you get greeted by your neighbor. There’s something about a small community store where you have an identity and you feel comfortable going into it with your money. “We are all about customer service here. My customers can travel anywhere, go to any community and get what they want. But we have a really loyal customer base who

stays here because of what we all do for them. We all appeal to people differently in how we put women together. “Once I get a new customer, I’m so grateful I have them for life. Some become friends, some become family. And there’s a trust level that we all build. I think it’s more than trust. We really evolve into each other’s lives.� That’s because Hedy Shepard is Rachel’s life, and she would have it no other way. “I leave my home and I come to my second home every day,� said Reiss, whose equally fashion-minded husband owns a men’s store specializing in suits in Ewing. “I don’t have a career or a job. It’s just what I do. This is who I am. I love what I do. “I’m very lucky. I get to work with my mother, who made this all happen. And our customer base is why we have what we have. The loyalty they have shown us over these years and the belief in us, that what we’re giving them is the best quality, the best price, the best service. I wouldn’t have this without our customers.� Which is why no one will walk out of her store with a pucker they don’t feel comfortable with. Hedy Shepard is located at 175 Nassau St., Princeton.

Q

. What designations do you have and what does it mean for the people you work with? A. I am honored to announce that I have been awarded the highest designation that Realtors can attain – Platinum Level by the NJAR Circle of Excellence, another year in a row, since 2012! In today’s complex market, Real Estate professionals have to be innovative, diligent and consistent in order to excel. I have also been recognized to be in the Top 1% of all Realtors nationwide. For clients, this means that they can be assured that my years of experience and real estate knowledge will get them the results they are looking for.

Q

. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? A. Call a real estate professional! Both buyers and sellers are educated in todays’ web-driven world. However, not all information listed on-line is accurate, nor can it replace the experience and knowledge offered by a real estate professional.

Q

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. The Real Estate market is steady in Princeton. As with any market, there is a constant movement and fluctuation throughout the year. The Spring Market is always hot but I see growth in re-sale prices and a boom in the demand for new constructions which of course affect the pricing of a neighborhood. Princeton’s location and vibrant community has allowed the real estate market to stay strong through the years, but the current influx of buyers has definitely raised the demand for homes!

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. I love living in the Greater Princeton area! This area is blooming with culture, history and renovation, yet it is still a place where you can enjoy a quiet evening, as you would in a country estate. Princeton is also an international city. I have quite a few clients who relocated from other countries for continuing education or work, and I find joy in helping them settle in our town and feel at home as they transition from their homeland.

Q

. Is there a certain community in the area which has become your main focus? A. I enjoy having a very versatile and expansive business throughout the area. Nonetheless, quite a bit of my focus goes to Princeton Landing. I have lived on Sayre Drive for over a decade and have sold over 300 homes there. Because my family and I call Princeton Landing our home, I am very knowledgeable about the market there. It is such a beautiful, park-like community with all of the amenities of a 5-star resort and close proximity to major roadways and Princeton Junction Train Station. Many of my clients have found their perfect home in Princeton Landing and I am happy to call them neighbors.

Q

. What is your current focus is Real Estate? A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming New Construction in Princeton. It seems that almost every street I turn on, there is at least one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth. Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly interested in new construction projects.
