Central High School graduates look forward to lives ahead weeks, 720 days - and that’s about how long the classmates spent together, although it seems shorter than that, she said. Comparing their progression through high school to the days of the week, today is Friday, Clare said. Tomorrow is Saturday, and “you won’t see the person next to you” because of college and travel, she said. While tradition calls for a class valedictorian and a class salutatorian, there was such a small difference in the scores of the top two students that it was impossible to make the call - so Daniel Kolano and Noan Miller shared

the podium. Taking turns to speak, they said that through 13 years of schooling, they made friends and grew into adults - “or large children.” The classmates have experienced the full range of life and in the coming weeks, they will part ways. Daniel and Noam encouraged their classmates to cherish the few months they have left together, and to pull their friends close. Don’t try to take the journey alone, they said. Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul Anzano, who was invited to speak, said that it is easy to lose
sight of who the students are and what they should be doing - but every now and then, one can see they are young men and women. That’s one of the “wow” moments, he said. And although it has taken 13 years to get to this point, Hopewell Valley Central High School Principal Tana J. Smith said, the students learned all they need to know in kindergarten. Play fair, don’t hit the person next to you, put things back where you found them, don’t take what isn’t yours - “the police won’t like that” - and live a balanced life, Smith said.
Superintendent of Schools Thomas A. Smith thanked the parents for entrusting their children to the school district, adding that he hoped it was a good experience. Smith also noted that two of the soon-to-be graduates are entering the military, and a third one is entering the U.S. Naval Academy. He thanked them for their willingness to protect the United States of America. And then it was time for the seniors to turn the tassels on their mortarboard caps, creating the next group of Hopewell Valley Central High School alumni.
Under the setting sun on a warm summer night, nearly 300 Hopewell Valley Central High School seniors closed the first chapter of many more to come in their young lives. As family and friends watched, the Class of 2017 - giddy with excitement - gathered on Ackerson Field to collect their diplomas and say their goodbyes to childhood. Two by two and clad in black gowns and mortarboard caps, the seniors filed onto the athletic field. Some waved to family members, and one boy gave a playful punch to a classmate. And as if to keep score, the scoreboard on Ackerson Field was lit up to read “2017.” Class President Madison Parker welcomed the attendees to the graduation ceremony, noting that it marks the culmination of 13 years of schooling. The classmates held pep rallies, built robots, made music and stayed up late to study. They counted the days until graduation - “and now it is here,” Madison said. They are about to enter a new community, and it is time to make their mark on the world. Noting that many people do not have the advantages that they do, Madison urged her classmates not to shut the door behind them, but to reach back through it and help others. “Be the change you want to see in the world,” she said. Class Vice President Bridget Anzano reminded the class of the hard work that it took to reach this point. All of that schoolwork laid a Photo by Mike Schwartz/www.mikeschwartz.photo foundation for success, she said. Class speaker Clare Garrity said high school is a “strange middle More than 300 seniors donned their customary caps and gowns on Central High School’s Ackerson Field for the 2017 graduation ceremony ground.” It’s just four years, 144 on Tuesday.

School board approves ‘green’ cleaning product policy By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
215-354-3146
A new policy that calls for the use of “green” cleaning products in the schools has been given the stamp of approval by the Hopewell Valley Regional School District Board of Education. The “Green and Healthy Schools Cleaning Policy,” which was approved by the school board last week, will earn points for the school district toward becoming a “Sustainable Jersey for Schools” certified district. The district is registered with Sustainable Jersey, but it needs points for certifica-
tion. Sustainable Jersey for Schools is a certification program for public schools that want to go green, conserve resources and take steps to create a brighter future, according to its website, www.sustainablejerseyschools.com. The new “Green and Healthy Schools Cleaning Policy” already reflects current practices in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, according to school district officials. The district uses high-performing green cleaning products and HEPA-rated vacuum cleaners.
The policy notes that many chemicals found in cleaning products pose health risks for children, teachers and staff. Exposure to some of those chemicals may result in increases in asthma, allergies, certain types of cancer, and learning and behavioral disorders. “The Board believes it is not necessary to jeopardize the health and safety of our students, teachers and staff, or to pollute our environment, when many less toxic or nontoxic alternatives are available,” according to the policy. The intent of the policy is to reduce exposure to those chemi-
cals and to reduce environmental pollution by requiring the purchase and use of “green” cleaning products. Cleaning products are broken down into several categories, depending on their intended use. All-purpose cleaners, such as those used in classrooms, bathrooms, hallways and cafeterias, must have “no or low VOC (volatile organic compound) content.” Cleaning products cannot be caustic or corrosive, and may not be used in an aerosol can that has a petrochemical propellant, the policy states.
They may not contain nonfood-grade dyes or known cancercausing chemicals. Cleaning products that are used to sanitize or disinfect bathrooms, gyms, nurses’ offices and the kitchens are in a second category. Those products must be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They are to be used for specific reasons, and cannot be used when children are present. A third category of cleaning products - those used for floor stripping and finishing, graffiti reSee GREEN, Page 3A

BELIEF IN THE SOUL
In ancient times, it was generally believed that the body and soul were inseparable. However, archeologists have uncovered the ďŹ rst written evidence that the people in the region now known as Turkey held to the religious concept of the soul apart from the body. It was in an Iron Age city called Sam’al that archeologists found a three-foot-tall, eight-hundred-pound slab of stone, dating back to about the eighth century B.C., on which was inscribed an image of a deceased man. Although he was probably cremated, the words inscribed on the stone explained how the man’s soul was thought to live on in the slab. This belief in an eternal soul persists to this day.
Funeral practices are inuenced by religious and cultural traditions, costs and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious or secular, and where it will be held. They also inuence whether the body will be present at the funeral, if there will be a viewing or visitation, and whether the remains will be buried or cremated.

If there is VXIÂżFLHQW URRP LQ WKH PRXWK to accommodate these third molars and they erupt properly, they may remain. However, if there is not enough room for them and/or they were to become impacted (unerupted), it is generally recommended that they be extracted. While most orthodontic treatment is conducted before wisdom teeth appear, the orthodontist can monitor their progress and make adjustments accordingly.

Morven Museum & Garden looks at Newark’s legacy as a destination for culture By Anthony Stoeckert
Adolf Konrad’s “Tables for Ladies” from 1963 is among the works on view in Morven Museum & Garden’s exhibit about Newark’s art scene in the 20th century. Below center, John R. Grabach’s “Spring Planting.” Below right, “Newark Nocturne” by Bernard Gussow.
enry Martin Gasser’s “Charlton St., ‘Portrait of a street corner’” is a watercolor depiction of a true city scene. Its subjects include apartment houses with fire escapes and laundry on a wire connected from a window to a utility pole. In the street two women are talking, and a parent and child look over the goods being sold by a man with a cart (my guess is that the man is selling fruit). It’s not a scene of nature but the painting, created in 1940, is just as beautiful in its way. The use of color, the realistic but not overly detailed depiction of every day life in Newark captures a place a time. Gasser is one of the artists whose work is being shown in “Newark and the Culture of Art: 19001960” at Morven Museum & Garden, through Jan. 28, 2018. The exhibit, curated by Roy Pederson, examines the importance of Newark, not only as a city of industry, but as a vibrant artistic community. That is in large part due to John Cotton Dana, who not only brought art to Newark, but did it in a groundbreaking, precedent-setting way. Dana’s vision was that art shouldn’t be intimidating or presented as if it came down from the ivory tower. Instead, art should connect with people and reflect their experiences and values. In the case of Newark in the early 20th century, that meant a population consisting of immigrants and working class people. In her preface to the catalog accompanying the exhibit, Elizabeth Allen, Morven’s curator of collection and exhibitions, writes that Dana saw libraries and museums as public servants. She quotes Holger Cahill, a friend of Dana’s as saying, “[They] are students of the arts with the men and women and children of communities, not teachers who have already learned all that books and art can teach.’” Artists like Gasser were a perfect fit for that vision. He would visit the same street, painting everyday scenes, and finding the beauty in them. Other works of his include “Wash Day,” which shows such routines of life as a child playing, a woman holding a baby, and a woman hanging wash on the line. More industrial is “Skyline,” which shows rail cars, and trucks in front of Newark buildings. To the left is an airplane, which appears to be in takeoff. Bernard Gussow’s “Newark Nocturne (2 Branford Place)” from 1925 is a moody street scene, showing a fedora-wearing figure in an alley. Behind him is a warmly lit room, and in the background the lights of the busy city. In his 1963 painting, “Tables for Ladies,” Adolf Konrad shows a man wearing a cap sitting at a table at Ray’s, a restaurant that apparently served hot dogs, sausage and soda, based on its signage.
Another side of the city is shown in “Spring Planting,” a 1932 painting by John R. Grabach in which citizens are shown planting a tree. It seems that Newark not only was at the forefront of an artistic movement, but of the green movement as well. The Newark Museum was the starting point for Dana’s mission. Its first location was on the fourth floor of the Newark Public Library. In the 1920s, it moved into a structure, which was a gift from Louis Bamberger, owner of the department store Bamberger’s. Bamberger was known for his philanthropy (and for doing it in a low-key manner). He and his sister, Caroline Bamberger Fuld, helped bring Albert Einstein to America and funded the Institute for Advanced Study. One of the keys to Newark’s art scene was the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, which opened in 1882 with a small group of artists who got together to skecth in the old German Turn Halle. The school had several names, but the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art is the most famous. Newark as a place of art and study is depicted in James Carlin’s “Life Class Painting” from around 1940, an oil painting, showing students painting a model. In 1907, Ida Wells Stroud joined the school’s staff, teaching afternoon classes and helping to develop the management of the daytime curriculum. She and her daughter, Ida Stroud, were two of the most important female artists in New Jersey. One of Clara Stroud’s works in the show is “Lucy Stone House in Orange, N.J.,” a photograph and gouache on paper. According to Allen, Stone was a suffragette who fought for women’s right to keep their maiden name. As it turns out, Clara Stroud had an experience involving her name. “She was married, but chose to keep her maiden name,” Allen says. “She wasPhoto offered job Stover at Pratt by aMatt Institute to teach, this was around 1919, I think. And she signs her contract with a position to start the next year.
“And they send it back because she signed as Clara Stroud, and they say, ‘You have to sign it with you real name.’ She said, ‘That is my real name, my real name is Clara Stroud, that’s legally my name.’ And they send it back again and say, ‘No, sign it with your married name.’ “So she sends it back and says, ‘Sorry if I’m not being clear, but I’m not signing it, I’ll just forgo the position,’ and she did.” Gus Mager was a newspaper cartoonist, and was famous for a strip called “Monk,” whose monkey-like characters included one named Groucho. “All these vaudevillians loved this comic, and basically Groucho Marx says they got the names, Groucho, Harpo, from the comic strip,” Allen says. “He’s known for the comic strip but he was actually well known among modern artists.” Featured in the exhibit is a self portrait by Mager, painted in 1914. In the work, he is smiling and wearing a vest over a white shirt. Another work by Mager is “Forest Landscape.” This painting is more reflective, with its forest subject shown at night, the greens of the trees subtly breaking through the darkness.”
“Newark and the Culture of Art: 1900-1960” is on view at Morven Museum & Garden, 55 Stockton, St., Princeton, through Jan. 28, 2018. Hours: Wed.-Sun. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission costs $10; www.morven. org; 609-924-8144.

ou have one more chance to catch the Princeton Festival production of Beethoven’s only opera, “Fidelio,” and that’s on June 25 at McCarter Theatre in Princeton. Let me say, it’s a smashing production not to be missed. There have already been a couple of Festival-sponsored background presentations on this opera — one by Scott Burnham, professor emeritus of music at Princeton, “On the Heroic in Beethoven’s Fidelio”; and by Timothy Urban, professor of music at Rider University, who presented “Rescued by Beethoven’s Fidelio” on the socioeconomic seeds for this new opera genre. If you were fortunate enough to attend these talks, you are well fortified. Since I was not so fortunate myself, and since my background on this opera consists almost entirely of familiarity with the Leonore overture, this review is an infrequent opera-goer’s impressions. In short, I’m coming at it fresh. As in past Princeton Festival productions, Richard Tang Yuk conducts from the pit, directing the fine Princeton Festival Orchestra. Set design by Jonathan Dahm Robertson, and costuming by Marie Miller place the action in presentday Spain. Sets are spare, intriguing, and mobile. The staging of this production, directed by Steven LaCosse, effectively sets the mood. During the prelude to the first act, all you need to know about how Florestan (tenor Noah Baetge) winds up imprisoned is presented in mime. Leonore (soprano Marcy Stonikas) and her husband, Florestan meet hurriedly and then part. He is seen firing up a crowd of workers. They march through the streets with banners and signs, only to be set upon by gendarmes led by Don Pizarro (bass-baritone Joseph Barron), governor of the prison. As ringleader, Florestan is hauled off to the dungeon. When the curtain rises on the first act, we’re introduced to other principal characters, set this time in what appears to be the prison guards’ changing room. Head jailer Rocco (bass Gustav Andreassen) and his daughter Marzelline (soprano Danielle Talamantes) sit at a break table, while Jacquino (tenor Michael Kuhn), in janitor’s uniform, is puttering around. Jacquino has a thing for Marzelline, who’s annoyed. Her heart is set on Fidelio, a new assistant her father has hired. In the first of the opera’s most-affecting arias, Marzelline sings of her love for Fidelio, imagining their life as a married couple. Talamantes’s performance is thrilling, with power and emotion to spare. Meanwhile, Leonore is hardly recognizable, in guard’s uniform and a manly wig as Fidelio. The scenes between Rocco, Fidelio, Marzelline, and Jacqino are quite humorous, as Rocco eagerly anticipates the marriage of his daughter to his trusty new assistant. Fidelio/Leonore is trying to wangle a way to extricate her husband from the prison, but he’s held in a lower recess

Noah Baetge as Florestan in The Princeton Festival’s production of “Fidelio.” inaccessible to her. Pizarro, learning that the prison is about to be inspected by the Prime Minister for mistreatment, sings of his defiance. He orders Rocco to kill Florestan and dispose of the body. Barron’s performance is another powerful aria. In answer, Fidelio/Leonore sings of her anger at Pizarro’s inhumanity, and her determination to find and save Florestan. Stonikas’s aria is deeply affecting. Her range is remarkable and thrilling. In the second act, Florestan is in his dungeon cell, where he lies on a meager palette, starving and weak. His voice emerges from the depths and rises to a crescendo as he sings of his joyless life, even as he sees a vision of Leonore. Baetge’s uncanny performance is hair-raising. It’s really the first we hear Florestan. In the course of events, emotions run high as Leonore recognizes Florestan even while she’s helping Rocco prepare his grave in a cistern. She threatens Pizarro with a pistol, as distant trumpets are heard offstage, announcing the imminent arrival of the Prime Minister, Don Fernando. The familiar strains of the Leonore overture announce the final scenes — and the orchestra plays the entire long version.
On stage, the wives and girlfriends of the prisoners are in silhouette against the sky, gradually illuminated by the light of an opening door as their men emerge from the depths. This is one of the most powerfully emotional scenes in the opera, beautifully realized and up-lifting. I was most moved. In the final scene, Don Fernando (baritone Cameron Jackson) arrives to dispense justice, while Leonore and Florestan celebrate their joyful reunion in an exultant duet. The performances are uniformly excellent, with some outstanding arias by this stellar cast. Altogether, the brilliant staging, a fine orchestra, and visually arresting sets make for a most satisfying experience. If you’ve never seen “Fidelio,” you owe it to yourself to experience this. It’s just fabulous.
“Fidelio” will be performed at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Princeton, June 25 3 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.princetonfestival.org or call 609-258-2787.

IN CONCERT By Mike Morsch
A Heart Full of Rock ’n’ Roll The legendary Yardbirds, featuring original drummer Jim McCarty, are coming to Atlantic City
U
p to and during the British Invasion, the Yardbirds had released several singles, which included the hit “For Your Love.” The song got to No. 1 in the United Kingdom and No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1965 and helped put the band on the level of their British peers at the time. “We were all competing and we were quite desperate to have a hit,” says Jim McCarty, original drummer for the Yardbirds, a band that featured three of the greatest guitarists in its early years between 1963 and 1968: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. “The Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, the Animals — they all had hits. We didn’t want to be left behind. It was very important in those days to have a hit.” The song had a more commercial pop rock sound, which was different than what the band had done to that point, which had its roots in the blues. And that change of direction and focus didn’t sit well with Clapton, the band’s lead guitarist at the time, and would eventually contribute to his leaving the group. “I don’t know whether Eric thought that it would be a hit, but most of us felt — even though it wasn’t sort of a blues song that we played and were used to — it was something that was different and original,” McCarty. “It had a mood to it. We all went for it, we all liked it.” But in wasn’t until a year later, in 1966, that the band would have the opportunity to record its first studio album. To that point, it had released singles that had gone on to live or complication albums. The studio effort was “Yardbirds” — more commonly referred to as “Roger the Engineer” — recognized by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The hit from that album was “Over Under Sideways Down,” which was inspired by a great American rock ‘n’ roll song from the 1950s. “We were traveling down to a gig one time and we used to listen to a guy on the

The Yardbirds will bring a night of rock 'n' roll classics to Resorts Casino, July 7. radio who had a rock ‘n’ roll show,” McCarty says. “And he used to play all these American rock songs. We heard ‘Rock Around the Clock’ by Bill Haley and we thought, Well, let’s do sort of a boogie in our own inimitable style. So that’s where we started. We then thought we’d make it about what was going on in the 1960s, cars and girls were easy to come by in that day and age. All the sort of mad things that were going on, and everything was always over on the sideways down.” The album became known as “Roger the Engineer” because of its audio engineer Roger Cameron, who also owned the studio, Advision Studios in London, where the album was recorded from April through June, 1966. “Roger Cameron was a bit of a boffin,” said McCarty, using a British word to describe a person engaged in scientific or technical research. “But he was a nice guy to work with and was a very good engineer.”
The artwork for the album is very boffin-like, drawn by band member Chris Dreja, and features Cameron depicted as somewhat of a “mad scientist.” “I think it still sounds great,” McCarty says. “All the various remixes that come up, the different masters that come out, it always sounds good. It’s nice because it’s an album, it’s got a quality about it, the whole thing rather than just a lot of tracks put together. I’m proud of that. It always goes down as one of the great ‘60s albums.” These days, McCarty is the only original member left to carry on the legacy of the Yardbirds. The current incarnation of the band, which also includes guitarist Johnny A., bassist Kenny Aaronson, blues harpist and percussionist Myke Scavone and lead singer and guitarist John Idan, will perform July 7 at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. “All the others in the band are Americans now and they’re all very good,” McCarty says. “I had some younger guys in
before and they really didn’t quite get it — they performed the music very well but they didn’t have the music sort of within them. These guys do. They know the songs very well from their childhoods and they really live and breath that sort of music. It’s really a good band.” As for sitting behind the drums and playing with some of the greatest guitarists of all time — Clapton, Beck, Page — McCarty said it was a crazy, wonderful time for the Yardbirds. “They all changed the sound of the band very slightly,” he says. “Of course, they were all young guys and were part of the team. We were a team playing together, all with the same ambitions: to play good music. And they all really took off from there as we know. They all became legendary.” Because he lived it, McCarty is also fond of the quality of music produced in the early years of the band. “There were a lot of great musicians coming at once,” he says. “Looking back, you can see them all, Jimi Hendrix and all the guitar players. Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson, all these people were coming along at the same time. And they were all very, very clever, incredibly creative people. I don’t know that it’s quite the same now. It’s very difficult to live up to that time because in some ways, it’s all been done.” He is, however, secure in the legacy of the Yardbirds. “I think the thing is that I still enjoy playing the music,” McCarty says. “The songs still sound relevant and they sound up to date. It’s still a very exciting set. I think there are lots of people still interested and it’s nice that it carries on. If it was a bit of a flop and nobody was interested and it didn’t sound good, I wouldn’t do it.”
The Yardbirds will perform at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, July 7, 9 p.m. For tickets and information, go to resortsac.com.

ON STAGE By Anthony Stoeckert
What a Nerd! Joe Konosian is playing a dream role at the Bucks County Playhouse
A
s a child growing up in Wisconsin, Joe Kinosian saw a lot of shows at the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre. Seeing all those performances helped him fall in love with theater, one actor in particular became a favorite of his. “This wonderful actor James Pickering was my hero,” Kinosian says. “He was just the most versatile guy and he was super, super funny, and he would do all the plays and all these great characters.” One of those plays was Larry Shue’s comedy “The Nerd,” which made its debut at Milwaukee Repertory in 1981. The play went on to a year-long Broadway run (starring Mark Hammill, AKA Luke Skywalker, in the title role) and a successful run on London’s West End. Shue wrote the part of Nerd specifically for Pickering. A teacher of Kinosian’s knew the actor, and got him to sign his personal
copy of the Nerd script for the young fan. “He wrote in it to me, ‘Dear Joe, best wishes for a career in the theater,’ and signed it,” Kinosian says. “I got this when I was 13 and I’ve lived in a lot of places since then, and I’ve carried this script around with me from place to place because I was like, some day I want to play that part.” That day has come, as Kinosian is preparing to play the title character when the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania, presents “The Nerd,”June 23 through July 15. In the play, Willum Cubbert (played by Kyle Cameron) is a shy architect, who is hosting a party with his friends Tansy (Clea Aslip) and Axel (Gavin Lee). Tansy and Axel used to be engaged. These days, there’s an attraction between Willum and Joe Kinosian is playing the title Tansy, but neither are bold enough to say character in “The Nerd” at the Bucks anything about it, and Tansy is set to leave County Playhouse. Terre Haute, Indiana, for a TV show in D.C. Willum gets an unexpected guest in Rick Steadman, the Nerd of the title. Rick saved Willum’s life in Vietnam, but the two never met. Rick is awkward and his behavior is completely inappropriate. On top of all that, he asks to move in with Willum, a request Willum feels obliged to grant, but comes to regret as Rick ruins Willum’s relationship with his boss Warnuck Waldgrave (played Grant Shaud). Kinosian learned the Bucks Playhouse scheduled “The Nerd” as part of its summer season when he was in a holiday version of “Murder For Two,” the show he co-wrote, and often performs in. “While we had the meet-and-greets at Bucks County, which would have been in early December, I saw in the lobby — we’re all introducing ourselves — and I see in the lobby hanging up, their summer season being announced,” Kinosian says. “And one of the shows is ‘The Nerd,’ and I went right up to Alex and said, ‘I just want to tell you right now, I’ve always wanted to do that part. And I’m sure you want to approach people who are much more famous than I, but if they turn you down, I’m around.‘“ Director Marc Vietor says the play is a twist on “The Man Who Came to Dinner,”
the 1939 comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. In that classic, a stranger invades a home, and the hosts feel obligated to him because he is a revered critic, a man of stature. “The reason they feel obliged to him is because of his social standing and their need to feel important,” Vietor says. “In this play [“The Nerd”], the main character, the man who came to dinner if you like, the Nerd, is also someone to whom one of the main people has a huge obligation to, namely he saved his life in Vietnam. “So anything this guy does, he gets sort of carte blanche, because he is the honored member of this little group of friends that he’s come into. And that’s the story of the play, essentially, the way this guy comes into this person’s life, this nerd rattles him and brings him to his senses in a way, brings him down to earth as a person.” Key to the production is that the play was written in 1979, which is when it will be set in Bucks County Playhouse’s production. Setting in the late 1970s also is important because there’s an answering machine that is important to the play. “It almost has a life of its own,” Vietor says. “It’s not a conscious thing, but it does so many things for the plot. It acts in so many unusual ways, it’s almost another character. And of course, it keeps us in that time of 1979 . . . people don’t have big gangly answering machines like they used to.” The play, “The Nerd” is set in Indiana, but the character of the Nerd is from Wisconsin, and Kinosian recently had a chance to do a little research for his accent. “I recently went home for a family wedding,” he says. “And it was right about the time I was really starting to learn my lines. I don’t want to throw anybody in my family under the bus, but I will say it was really well timed.”
“The Nerd will be performed at the Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, June 23-July 15. For tickets and information, go to www.bcptheater.org or call 215-862-2121.

ART By Anthony Stoeckert
A Summer of Art It’s a great time to see what’s on view at area galleries
W
ith summer here, area galleries not only offer art to view (and purchase), they’re also a perfect place to cool off. With area galleries hosting their summer exhibits, offering various styles of art, you’re bound to discover something that catches your art-long eye. D&R Greenway Land Trust is hosting the Garden State Watercolor Society’s 48th annual exhibition, “Our World through Artists’ Eyes,� at the Johnson Education Center in Princeton through Aug. 21. The exhibit features artwork by 67 artists, from Cape May to Sussex County, selected for the exhibition by juror Susan Weintraub. Many of the artists are nationally known, such as Lucy and Charles McVicker, Sandy O’Connor and Donna Read. The Garden State Watercolor Society is a non-profit organization with the goal of encouraging painting in water media, and providing educational and exhibition opportunities for artists and residents of New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Special events related to the exhibit include demonstrations and Princeton Brush Company giveaways, June 26, 12 p.m.; an artist demonstration with Lisa Budd, July 26, 2-2:30 p.m.; and plein air painting, Aug. 9, 9 a.m. to noon, followed by a gallery walk with Tess Fields and Joanne Amantea, 1-2 p.m. Another artist demonstration, with with juror Susan Weintraub, will take place Aug. 21, 1:30-3 p.m. The exhibit is on view at the Marie Matthews galleries of the Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place, Princeton. Hours are Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, go to www.drgreenway.org or call 609-9244646. In July, The Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury is hosting “Digital Alchemy by Phillip McConnell,� featuring work by McConnell, who is a “glitch artist.� McConnell describes glitch art as the “aestheticization of digital or analog errors, such as artifacts and other ‘bugs’ by either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices.� He says that while glitch art is fairly new, its concept dates back to the dada movement of the 1960s. “This project is where I blend different aspects of photography, landscape, portrait, urban, nature and macro, with different concepts of Glitch Art —VHS, aesthetic, vapor wave — to create something new out of something broken.� The exhibit will be on view July 9-28. A reception is scheduled for July 9, 1-4 p.m. Gallery hours are Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and July 16, 1-3 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, go to www.gourgaudgallery.blogspot.com. The Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville will be hosting
works by two well known area artists, Beatrice Bork and Joe Kazimierczyk, July 8 through Aug. 6. Bork is known for her careful portrayal of animal and bird subjects through watercolor, while Kazimierczyk explores the grandeur of landscape and sense of place through oils. While being in nature is the connecting motivation of both artists, each has a different point of inspiration. Bork enjoys the aspect of discovery, and exploring the intricacies of her subjects, concentrating on birds. Kazimierczyk focuses on landscapes — the views, the light, the textures in oil. This exhibit encompasses not only tangible destinations and subject of inspirations, but also an expression of the artists’ personal journeys. An opening reception is scheduled for July 8, 5-8:30 Kimberlee Nentwig’s “Chop on the Rocks� is part p.m. The gallery is located at 18 Bridge St., Lambertville. of the Garden State Watercolor Society exhibit on Hours: Thurs.-Sun. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, view at the D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education go to www.lambertvillearts.com.

Princeton’s latest Parklet is located outside jaZams toy store.
Princeton’s ‘energy playground’ The town’s second Parklet is a place to rest, learn, play, and support downtown businesses I would like to call for the Princeton Parklet Accord. My home is neither Pittsburgh nor Paris, but rather Princeton, a community that needs a commitment from all its residents to support the principles represented by the jaZams/Princeton Arts Council Parklet at 25 Palmer Square E. This awesome “energy playground” installation at jaZams represents far more than a respite hangout spot for weary shoppers. It is an interactive science-and-play exhibit based on energy technology, exuding energy, and inspiring an energetic involvement in the sustainability of the community. I pledge to join a handful of Princeton merchants, led by jaZams owners Joanne Farrugia and Dean Smith, in a campaign to save the environment — Princeton’s downtown retail environment. Princeton’s Central Business District is a treasured, walkable, shopping and eating environment, one that encourages people to smile and make eye contact and connect as human beings rather than machines. In addition to worrying about global warming, I am worried about local cooling, shoppers abandoning the local retail community and succumbing to online purchases. My blood boiled when a former friend admitted/bragged about going into jaZams, taking a picture of the desired toy, and then ordering it online to save a whopping $1.75. Palmer Square has 10 empty stores with additional empty storefronts dotting the Central Business District in the Witherspoon and Nassau streets area. Princeton will lose its much-touted asset of a vibrant downtown, unless the residents wake up and follow the sustainability leaders working so hard to maintain a viable Princeton downtown. “The Parklet messages sustainability on many different levels,” said Ms. Farrugia. The 40-foot Parklet structure embraces several energy-themed technology exhibits (solar, water, kinetic energy generation) and mental energy exhibits (book-reading and chess-playing), displayed in a playful and welcoming ambiance. Sitting on the bench and watching how the project generated a joyful response from adults and children, I wanted to use all my energy to stand on the platform and launch a rousing Oscar acceptance-style speech praising those forces responsible for this exhibit. The creation of this energetic exhibit was fueled by the generosity of donors who gave fiscal and physical support. Two summers ago, the first Parklet project popped up in front of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street. It added to the relaxed, peoplewatching ambiance in front of Small World, but didn’t have the save-theenvironment messaging. The Princeton municipality and the Arts Council
of Princeton collaborated to create the first Parklet. In order to implement Parklet 2.0, the Arts Council of Princeton and jaZams raised the $10,000 from sponsors and recruited invaluable in-kind services from professionals who were the “heroes” of the project, according to Ms. Farrugia. The project, which began with strategic planning in the fall of 2016, involved a six-week construction process at Princeton University’s Design Lab. Farrugia and Smith, who are partners in business and life, devoted every spare moment to the construction. “When we were not working in the store, we were cutting wood, painting, hammering, making the Parklet perfect. . . . This project was supposed to be fun for us, but in typical Joanneand-Dean manner, we had to make it the best Parklet ever - it was like what we do in the store — we could not accept ‘good enough.’ It had to be outstanding, awesome,” Farrugia said. And as indicated by the reactions I saw among those experimenting with the technology displays, Parklet 2.0 creative team achieved its goal of awesomeness. “We all believed in the project on all levels — aesthetics, playful scientific education — and a political statement — we need to fight, make our voices heard, Farrugia said. “Buying locally not only sustains the downtown, but also is better for old-fashioned environmental reasons — far fewer packing cartons and fewer trucks are needed for shipping, if the manufacturer can simply send to one place, rather than 100 different places.” She noted the local schools are scheduling learning excursions to the Parklet, which will remain in place until early November. Also, Maria Evans, artistic director of the Arts Council and key to the success of the project, is talking to Joanne about evening programming for adults. I think the donors deserve a special solar-powered billboard in communitysustaining heaven. However, the residents of Princeton should urge the municipality to figure out a way to make this type of project fiscally sustainable. These public art projects are more than just feel-good events. They are building blocks for a strong community that will yield fiscal benefits for all the residents.

THE BOOK SHELF
Jim Snow
‘Walking the Nile’ takes readers on a journey
In 2013, Levison Wood, a British army veteran and avid outdoorsman, conceived the idea of undertaking “a walk along the Nile,” a walk that was to begin at the southernmost point — believed to be one of the “true” sources of the Nile — and continuing until he had reached the Mediterranean Sea. Others had traveled the length of the Nile, but such expeditions often employed watercraft or other conveyances for at least part of the journey. To really “walk” the length of the Nile meant traversing 4,000 miles of some of the most challenging and daunting territory in the world. Taking into account the variety of ecosystems, climatic conditions, and landscapes, not to mention the logistics of provisioning the expedition, such an undertaking could prove overwhelming, if not insuperable, for even intrepid and seasoned travelers. The natural challenges would be only the beginning. There were a number of borders that had to be crossed, long stretches of remote territory, and linguistic complications that had to be considered. Notwithstanding all of this, Levison Wood planned his journey, reviewed the plans, changed them, revised the changes, researched potential gear and equipment, raised the money, and ultimately stepped off the starting block for a “walk” that would take nine months, an intrepid spirit, a procession of knowledgeable guides, raw courage and sheer determination to complete. He tells his story in “Walking the Nile” (Atlantic Monthly Press, 2015). The very first issue to tackle was the starting point. An expedition to ‘walk the Nile‘ should, at least in theory, start at the source and finish at its terminus. The actual ‘source’ of the Nile is itself an issue subject to geological and riparian analysis, historical reports, and the identity of one’s interlocutor. Various sites in the African interior vie for the honor of being the source of the Nile. The 19th-century explorer Henry Stanley placed the source of the Nile at Lake Victoria. Subsequent exploration and investigation placed the source much further south. Wood’s research led him to a small stream in Rwanda, identified by many as the true location of the Nile’s source. The place, best described as a brook emerging from the ground in a forested area, was considered to be, if not the unique source, at least one of the effluences that will join with many others to form the Nile River. The author, in addition to being adventurous, determined, and rugged, is also very reflective. His description of the journey, including its flora, fauna, and myriad challenges, is accompanied by his thoughts on the history and the people whose territories he will traverse. For those who recall the internecine devastation of 1994, the very mention of Rwanda summons a wellspring of difficult memories as well as a host of contradictions. It is to Wood’s credit that he does not sidestep such realities and take refuge within the confines of a mere “travelogue.” He reflects on the reality and the horrific im-
pact of the civil war as his guide takes him through the country where past sites of ignominy, many of which have been untouched since the war, are left as reminders of a past that is loathsome to recall, but dangerous to forget. There is also the formidable terrain with which to contend. Among the experiences Wood relates is the tragic loss of Matt Power, a journalist who, in the company of another journalist, had arranged to meet Wood and his guide at a town along the way. They planned to travel with Wood for a brief portion of the expedition, essentially a trip of several days’ duration, with the goal of gathering material and photos for an article to be published at the conclusion of their journey. Just a couple of days into their trek they came upon a deforested area that would expose them to full sunlight. As they were already in a zone with high ambient temperature, conditions gradually became oppressive. Matt Power collapsed from heat stroke, and despite an intense effort to administer first aid and seek additional help, Power succumbed and expired. The companions were devastated, and it was a harsh reminder of the true nature of what those on the expedition might yet again face on their journey north. Wood is diligent in recording their experiences and his perceptions in each of the many regions they traverse — the harrowing political chaos in South Sudan; the harsh desert climate in Sudan; the monumental remains of pyramids in the Nubian Desert; facing down corrupt officials attempting extortion. In addition to adapting to such circumstances and challenges, there is also the very real danger of the animals they encounter in the wild. While negotiating the dense Ugandan jungle on the way to Murchison Falls in the company of Ndoole Boston, an experienced Congolese guide, he relates that Danger lurked at every step — one false move could result in a slip to the bottom of a chasm filled with rattlesnakes. “Stop!” said Boston… He raised his hand towards me but his eyes didn’t move from a spot ten meters away. Grinding to a halt, I opened my mouth to listen for movement around me. “Hippo!” he said, in evident alarm. We froze. There, right behind a tree, was a large, boulder-like lump. Until now, it had lain motionless, wallowing in the shallow mud of a half-dry creek. But now, disturbed from its slumber, the enormous beast was slowly emerging from the hole. Suddenly, it caught our scent and inclined its massive head toward us. “Run,” I cried.….. Hippos are the biggest killers of humans of all the large animals of Africa. They kill more people than lion, buffalo, crocodiles and elephants combined. . . . “The most dangerous place in Africa,” Boston had repeated several times along our journey, “is between a hippo and the water . . . “
. . . If you come across a hippo on land, there’s nothing to do but climb. There’s no way you can outrun a hippo on the flat as, despite their clunky appearance, they are fast, able to charge at thirty kilometers an hour. Believe it or not, hippos are actually cousins of the horse . . . “ Not long after this incident, they continue their trek through the forest alongside the river, which had diminished the sandy path on its bank to a mere three feet in width, providing, quite literally, the narrowest of margins between the water’s edge and the wild bushes and shrubs that grew along the Nile. As he was negotiating a fallen log that blocked their way, Boston Ndoole aroused a crocodile sleeping alongside it: With the speed of lightning, it launched itself at my guide and snapped its jaws shut . . . In that instant, the crocodile ran, disappearing into the placid water of the Nile . . . I looked back along the beach, from the direction we had come. More crocodiles, five or six huge beasts, had emerged out of the forest, awakened no doubt by the commotion on the beach. There was no way back, no way to retreat . . . As one, we began to run, raving like mad men as we dashed along the beach. As expected, the forest alongside us came alive as gigantic crocodiles darted out of the undergrowth to take shelter in the safety of the water. At one point, as I ran, I had to jump over the tail of one crocodile as it slithered past me into the depths. Finally, with all our limbs intact, we made it to the security of a headland. We were safe, for now. Within a collection of anecdotes that seem to be plucked from a Kipling adventure novel, one that stands out is the story of a segment later in the trip — crossing the Sahara Desert.
Even after taking into account encounters with crocodiles, hippos, snakes, withering heat, quicksand and heavily armed guerrillas, the trek across the Sahara, with its harrowing detail, is probably the most riveting. An expedition of this kind, across open desert, is rarely undertaken, in part, perhaps, because there are alternatives to the desert route. However, it is not difficult to understand that it would also be avoided because the hardships and dangers one encounters are so overwhelmingly hazardous. Of all the tight spots Wood encountered, the desert crossing seems to have been the biggest challenge, if only because of the fact that the punishing climate and terrain left little or no margin for error. Wood’s own account of a knifeedge encounter with obliteration makes all too real the actual level of risk involved in completing this expedition. Their plight worsens with the inability to find wells along the trek across the Bayuda desert in Sudan, a detour made necessary by the impassable secure zone established to protect the Meroe Dam that provides water and electricity for the capital, Khartoum. The detour is costly in terms of “wear and tear” on the members of the expedition, who on more than one occasion found themselves desperately in need of water. The experience is summed up in Wood’s introduction to the tale of the agonizing quest for water as their supplies dwindle to nothing: “Thirst is a terrible thing. It destroys you from the inside out.” Wood’s contact with the diverse population he encounters along the way leads him into unexpected quarters. He hears about the good as well as the bad, and at times he comes across situations that can only be described as monstrous. He resists shying away from incidents that he finds to be unconscionable or inhumane. On the last leg of his trek across Egypt to his destination on the Mediterranean coast, he is introduced by his guide to a reclusive, middle-aged Christian man who is terrified of leaving the building. He is also horribly disfigured. In the course of their conversation, Wood learns that the man, a former taxi driver, had been dragged by a mob from his vehicle one night while he was working, subjected to unimaginably cruel punishment, and abandoned on the riverfront on the assumption that he was dead. By chance, he was found by a worker who immediately summoned assistance, thus saving his life. From the terrifying to the exotic, Levison Wood has encountered just about everything imaginable, and then some. His account goes beyond simply a naturalist’s observations on the wonders and perils of a “walk along the Nile.” What comes through just as clearly as botany, geology, hydrology and zoology is the remarkable variety of cultures and people he meets along this unique expedition, presenting for us their lives, their work, their societies, and their history.

One June 16, Leck, a Botanist and Rider University biology professor emeritus, was presented with the award, which is given to someone who embodies D&R Greenway’s mission to inspire a conservation ethic. Donald B. Jones was a preservationist who committed his time and resources saving the land and historic landmarks in the area. Leck’s work has helped preserve the 3,000acre urban wetland now known as the Abbott Marshlands in Hamilton, Trenton and Bordentown. Twenty-five years ago, Leck brought awareness about the significance of this wilderness in an urban area to the attention of D&R Greenway, a land trust dedicated to land preservation and stewardship. Linda Mead, President & CEO of D&R Greenway, remembers how Leck’s leadership transformed a forgotten wasteland into a recognized resource for environmental education. “Mary’s unwavering dedication as a scientist taught others that the integrity of the Marsh was of paramount importance,” Mead says. “Just as Dr. Seuss’ Lorax spoke for the trees, Mary spoke for the Marsh, and others listened. She embodies the spirit of our annual Donald B. Jones Conservation Award.” “Whether she is leading an educational hike for adults and families or sharing her knowledge with professionals, Mary Leck’s enthusiasm for the unique Abbott Marshlands is undeniable and contagious,” says Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes. “First and foremost, Mary is a

She has been instrumental in helping us make the Marsh accessible, from writing field trip curriculum for our naturalists, creating interpretive signage at Roebling Park or preparing art exhibits at our nature center. Mary embodies what it means to be a true conservationist. Her dedication, professionalism, volunteerism and determination to preserve and protect the Marsh forever allows generations of people to benefit from its beauty.” Leck began taking students to do fieldwork in the Marsh more than 40 years ago. “My introduction to the Marsh was with a Rider student interested in an independent study project,” she says. “Since then scores of students, from elementary to university, have come to learn about wetlands and the plants and animals that live
there.” Her students have experienced the tides, including getting stuck in mud. They have marveled at the lush growth of plants — the wild rice grows more than 10 feet tall in a single season. “It was a group of students, twirlers and band members from Trenton Central High School, who totally got into exploring a new muddy terrain in hip boots, who made me realize the educational potential of the marshlands for kids who live so close by,” says Leck, who founded the Friends for the Abbott Marshlands. The Marsh is an important educational resource and the subject of more than 60 ecological articles and book chapters. Leck’s personal research interests involved the ecology of seed
germination of marsh plants and discovering the kinds and numbers of seeds hidden in marsh mud. The Abbott Marshlands is an urban wetland where osprey, marsh wrens, and many kinds of butterflies and dragonflies live. The occasional beluga whale and harp seal have been visitors. Human visitors, in addition to students on field trips, include hikers, cyclists, bird watchers, canoeists and kayakers, fishers and hunters, and photographers and artists. Their experiences are enhanced by offerings at the Tulpehaking Nature Center that was created by Mercer County in partnership with D&R Greenway and the NJ Green Acres Program. New apps are now available that provide paddling and walking tours, and 15 new signs with trail maps will be in place by early spring 2018. Leck played a leading role in developing all of these. “For new visitors paddling on a sunny day, the new TravelStorys app is an opportunity to understand the ecological and culture significance of the area,” she saus. “At home or in the classroom, the voice narration coupled with photos can entice and enhance the experience before a canoe even launches.” In addition to her ecological studies, Leck has been tireless in promoting the Marshlands: she’s been involved with developing two management plans, an agreement that led to the formation of the Abbott Marshlands Council, an invasive species inventory, a teachers’ manual, lesson plans, and the Abbott Marshlands website. She was director for several years of PROBE, a Rider University Biology Department program to teach AP Biology high school students about field research. She’s given numerous talks and walks touting the Marshlands’ significance, has organized field trip schedules for more than 15 years, and helped with at least a dozen exhibits and photography shows that featured the Marsh. She and her husband, Charlie Leck, have developed inventories of plants and animals that provide evidence of the Marsh’s rich organism diversity.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Craig Gronczewski
Don’t let injuries and illness spoil summer fun
Summertime is typically a fun time for families, often filled with outdoor activities from morning until night. But did you know that summertime is also a time when emergency room visits spike? Whether you are lounging on the beach, gathering around the campfire or simply enjoying your own backyard this summer, take precautions to avoid illness and injury, and be sure to know when to get medical help. Don’t get burned. Sunburn is not only painful, it also can increase your risk for skin cancer. Protect yourself from sunburn by using a sunscreen containing an SPF of 15 or higher. When possible, cover up with clothing to protect exposed skinm and wear a hat with a wide brim to shade your face, head, ears and neck. Often sunburn can be treated at home with cool, damp compresses and ibuprofen to relieve pain. However, a blistering sunburn that covers more than 15 percent of your body may require medical attention.
Stay cool. Heat-related illnesses claim the lives of hundreds of people in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To prevent heat-related illnesses, drink plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages; wear lightweight loose-fitting clothing that is light in color; reduce strenuous activities or do them during cooler parts of the day; and stay indoors with air conditioning, if possible, during the hottest parts of the day. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness and occurs when the body is unable to control its temperature. Warning signs of heat stroke may vary, but include a body temperature over 103 degrees; red, hot and dry skin (no sweating); rapid, strong pulse; throbbing headache; dizziness, nausea; confusion, and unconsciousness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect someone has heat stroke, call 911. Get the person to a shady area and cool them down rapidly whether by spraying with cool water from a garden hose, spong-
ing them with cool water, or placing them in a cool shower or a tub of cool water. Leave fireworks to the pros. On average 230 people go to the emergency room every day with fireworks-related injuries, most commonly burns and eye injuries, in the month around Fourth of July holiday, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Moreover, most injuries are associated with easy-to-buy firecrackers, sparklers and bottle rockets. The best way to avoid injuries and a trip to the emergency room is to leave fireworks of any kind to the professionals. Never allow children to play with fireworks. Practice water safety. Summer and swimming go together like camping and s’mores. But water-related activities can be dangerous if the right precautions aren’t followed. In fact, every day about 10 people die from unintentional drowning and more than half of near-drowning victims treated in emergency departments require further
hospitalization, according to the CDC. Further, about one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger. Stay safe in the water by learning how to swim, and never swim alone. Wear a lifejacket and avoid alcoholic beverages while boating. Always watch children in and around water, and if you have a swimming pool at your home, the CDC recommends installing a foursided isolation pool fence. Guard against bites and stings. People aren’t the only ones who enjoy warm summer weather. Insects do too. Insect bites normally don’t require emergency care, but bugs like mosquitos and ticks can carry dangerous diseases, which makes it important to guard against them. The CDC recommends using EPA-registered insect repellents that contain at least 20 percent DEET for protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other bugs. Additionally, to prevent ticks, stay out of tall grass, brush, or heavily wooded areas and walk in the center of hiking trails. Be sure to check yourself for ticks
after being outdoors. To safely remove a tick, use tweezers and pull straight up. Do not twist or jerk, as this can cause the mouthparts of the tick to break off and remain in the skin. People with a history of severe allergic reactions to bee stings or other insect bites, should carry an EpiPen. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction include: trouble breathing; hives that appear as a red, itchy rash and spread to areas beyond the sting; swelling of the face, throat, or mouth tissue; wheezing or trouble swallowing; restlessness and anxiety; rapid pulse and dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure. Seek emergency care if these symptoms occur. Remember — “Leaves of three, let it be.” Poison ivy and poison oak are common in wooded areas as well as backyards and gardens. Learn how to identify and avoid contact with these and other dangerous plants, which can cause reactions ranging from a mild itchy skin rash to painful blisters. In rare instances, a severe allergic reaction may occur and require emer-
gency treatment. Never burn poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac. The smoke can carry the plant oils into your lungs and cause pain, swelling and difficulty breathing. The Center for Emergency Care at University Medical Center of Princeton sees 50,000 patients each year, including 8,000 children. The Center offers a designated pediatric emergency area where pediatricians from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are on site 24/7 to consult on emergency cases involving infants, children and adolescents. The Center also offers a Senior Care emergency unit designed especially for older adults.
