Schools honor retired teachers and staff during board meeting

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A group of newly retired educators and faculty members of the Hillsborough Township Public School District were publicly congratulated by school administrators during an annual show of thanks and support.

During the Board of Education meeting on June 19, Superintendent Dr. Jorden Schiff said the yearly kudos for outgoing district employees was a “long-standing tradition.”

“If you add up all of the years of experience of all of our retirees this year, it’s over 530 years of experience - that is absolutely extraordinary,” Schiff said. “People who give their professional careers in the service of others, it’s a very special thing to do.”

Schiff said the school board had originally intended to hold its annual retiree ceremony earlier in the month, but was forced to reschedule due to excessive heat.

For nearly 30 minutes, administrators from most of the district’s nine schools took to the podium to extol the strengths of this year’s

batch of retirees.

The district’s Director of Guidance Jessica Smedley kicked off the ceremony by recognizing the career of Woodfern Elementary School and Hillsborough Elementary School’s outgoing guidance counselor, Ellen Stem.

Having joined the district in September 1996, Stem had been a staff member for 20 years.

Smedley said Stem had been regularly commended for her work with the district’s elementary students over the years.

“Previous administrators have given Ms. Stem accolades for her ability to teach group lessons, for being committed and dedicated as a school counselor, for her warmth and empathy,” Smedley said. “Her greatest strength is the ability to engage with children in small groups and in the classroom.”

Woodfern Elementary School Principal Steven Carrigan touted the work of special education teacher Maria Betro, who began her tenure in Hillsborough back in 2001.

“Through three years of preschool at Woods Road, for nine years in self-contained kinder-

garten at HES and for four years as a resource teacher at Woodfern, [Betro] ... has been able to shape the lives of kids from kindergarten up through fourth grade,” Carrigan said. “That’s just outstanding.”

Prior to becoming a teacher, Carrigan said Betro had a job in the Investment Banking Division of Bear Sterns in New York City.

Having seen her work with students, the principal said Betro’s change of careers benefited many pupils over the years.

“Having seen how the kids have responded to [Betro,] they’re better for having her as a teacher,” Carrigan said.

Hillsborough Elementary School Principal Sue Eckstein praised the career of world language teacher Debbie Miller, who

spent 17 years of her 31 year career teaching Spanish at the elementary level.

“Our children were in wonderful hands [with Miller],” Eckstein said. “Señora Miller brings the stories and songs, expanding the minds of our students, and helping them think globally.”

Supervisor of Special Education Donna Landon took time during the meeting to tout the efforts of some of Woods Road Elementary’s outgoing faculty.

Though they were not in attendance, Mary Beth Laughlin was recognized for her 30 years as a social worker for the school. She retired in October. Lunch aide Susan Anderson, who worked in that position since 2005 was also lauded by Landon.

Child Study Team member

Margie Schaefer, who joined the district as a substitute secretary in 1990, was also recognized by Landon. Kathleen Gangwer, who served as a speech therapist for the school for nearly four decades, was also feted.

Auten Road Intermediate School Principal Christopher Carey commented on the 33 year career of Carla Carrigan, with nearly half of that in Hillsborough.

“Carla has worked with her students with a passion and conviction that all children can learn and find success,” “She always set aside time to chaperone evening concerts and she worked hard to contribute to the positive culture at Auten Road.”

Carrigan was also the advisor for the school’s Crochet Club and See RETIREES, Page 3A

Township honored for commitment to kids

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

215-354-3146

Another accolade for Hillsborough was recently bestowed to municipal officials, as a national non-profit hailed the township for its commitment to providing safe and fun spaces for kids to grow and play outside.

For the second consecutive year, Hillsborough has been named a Playful City USA Community by national non-profit organization KaBOOM. It joins more than 250 other communities to receive the designation this year.

Since its inception in 1996, KaBOOM! has collaborated with numerous municipalities and other partners to open or improve approximately 16,700 playgrounds that serve more than 8.5 million children around the country.

Aimed at honoring municipalities throughout the country that put “the needs of families first so kids can learn, grow and develop important life skills” as a priority, KaBOOM! CEO James Siegal commended Hillsborough’s efforts over the last year.

“We are thrilled to recognize Hillsborough for putting kids first,” he said. “The well-being of our

communities starts with the wellbeing of our kids, and play is critical for them to thrive. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that all kids get the childhood they deserve filled with play.”

According to township officials, Hillsborough features 20 parks and recreation facilities full of various amenities ranging from new playground equipment to maintained team sports fields.

Earlier this year, the township reopened the skate park at Ann Van Middlesworth Park after adding a new bowl feature to the facility.

Additionally, a new playground structure was installed at the municipal playground.

In April, township officials celebrated the grand opening of Mountain View Park, which had at one time been owned by the United States General Services Administration. The nearly 370-acre property was used to house prisoners of war during World War II before being repurposed as the Belle Mead Army Depot.

Mountain View Park now features six baseball fields and a special needs challenger field. Each field has modern features associated with them, including lighting for night play.

In addition to the township’s parks, KaBOOM! cited programs provided by Hillsborough’s Department of Parks and Recreation that take place throughout the year for children of all ages and abilities.

“Our recreation programs are an integral part of our community and earning this designation further exemplifies the Township’s dedication to what our Parks and Recreation offers,” Committeeman Doug Tomson, who also serves as a liaison to the Parks and Recreation Department, said.

Retirees Continued from Page 1A Sign Language Club.

Kathleen Morrison, a special education teacher with 37 years of experience also left ARIS this year.

Carey said she was a “knowledgeable and wise person” when working with the school’s pupils every day.

“We thank her for providing her students with the very best by helping each and every one of them to understand that challenges and barriers can be overcome,” he said.

In addition, four teachers who were not in attendance were thanked for their service by Carey:

Karen Hoffman, a sixth grade literacy teacher who worked in the district for 32 years; Diane Kosec, a special education teacher with 15 years in Hillsborough; Debbie Kurisko, a general music and choir teacher who spent the last 22 years in Hillsborough; and Jane Roxbury, who was a French language teacher for one year.

Hillsborough Middle School Principal Dr. Joe Trybulski touted the work of former applied technology teacher Pete Passe after 15 years at the school.

“In addition to all of his work in the classroom, Pete was always pitching in around the school in many

special events and extracurricular activities,” he said. “[He served] as the organizer of our annual HMS charity volleyball events, that was a faculty/student event each year that brought us all together and raised thousands of dollars over the years to benefit a number of medical research organizations and veterans organizations.”

Passe is a long-time Hillsborough resident and founding member of the Jr. Raiders organization.

Donna Becker, a 16 year special education teacher at HMS, was also thanked by Trybulski.

“Donna’s dedicated, patient, loving guidance has

been a vital support for so many children in our special needs environment that have successfully gone through Hillsborough Middle School because of her loving care,” said.

Hillsborough High School Principal Karen Bingert said she was proud of the 18 years that Robin Decker-Kenny, a counselor at the school, spent with the district’s teens.

“Mrs. Kenny is one of the most devoted counselors that I have had the honor of knowing. Calling her thorough can never do justice to how fastidious she was in keeping track of and supporting her students,” she said. “She followed up

with everyone about everything, leaving no reminder or encouragement unsaid.”

Similarly, 16 year family and consumer science teacher Christine Kirsche was honored for her time at the school..

“Mrs. Krische is full of surprises. In the classroom, she was very laser-focused on what she wanted her students to accomplish and giving them the tools they needed that translate to being an adult,” Kirsche said.

Other HHS retirees included: Catherine Costa, who spent 15 years in the district as a business education teacher; Christine Demetriou, who spent 13

years as an instructional assistant and job coach; Geraldine Ryan, who retired from her role as a computer resource teacher with 34 years at Hillsborough; and Debbie Smolinka, a 13 year secretary to the athletic director.

Additionally, Schiff recognized Larry Schultz, a district technician; Sunnymead Elementary School first grade teacher Susan Levinson; Triangle Elementary School fourth grade teacher Susan Fajen; Karen Siegel, an occupational therapist for the district; and Lora Sozio, an ASI teacher.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

By Michele S. Byers

New Jersey water supply plan rings alarm bells dNew Jersey’s almost 9 million residents make this state we’re in denser than India or Japan! And the population is projected to grow to 10.2 to 10.4 million by 2040. Will we have enough water for our residents, farmers, businesses, industries - and the environment - now and in the future?

That question is front and center following the release of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s draft 2017-2022 update of the New Jersey Statewide Water Supply Plan - the first update in 21 years.

According to the plan,

“Generally, New Jersey has sufficient water available to meet needs into the foreseeable future” - provided the state effectively increases water efficiency through conservation and reuse, promotes public awareness, addresses deteriorating infrastructure and maintenance issues, and pursues key water supply projects.

These are big challenges!

But the plan only looks ahead eight years. This short horizon undermines meaningful planning and minimizes the magnitude of the challenges. It’s clear that these water supply

challenges will not be easy to solve.

Annual water use in New Jersey peaked during 1990-2015, and per person potable water use decreased from about 155 gallons per day to 125 gallons per day during that time due to more efficient plumbing fixtures. But consumptive water use (where water is taken up by plants or products or evaporated, so that it is no longer available) continues to rise.

The plan found that the greatest stresses to water supply include water lost to evaporation through outdoor water use and outof-basin wastewater transfers. It found that some areas of New Jersey already use tens of millions of gallons more water per day than the capacity of their watersheds, and that other parts of the state will likely experience similar deficits in the near future.

The Water Supply Plan identifies four of the state’s 20 “Watershed Management Areas” (WMAs) as stressed, with 11 more that would become stressed if all authorized water withdrawal permits were fully utilized.

For example, water demand in much of Salem and Cumberland counties outstrips local supply by 70 million gallons a day.

In Atlantic County, the deficit is 25 million gallons daily. In the Upper Passaic River Watershed Management Area, encompassing parts of Morris, Sussex and Essex

counties, the deficit could grow from the current 2 million gallons per day to 5 million daily by 2020.

The Arthur Kill WMA is estimated to double its deficit by 2020. And “masked” within larger watershed areas are smaller watersheds - for example, in the Highlands - that are also in deficit as documented by the Highlands Regional Master Plan.

When aquifers and streams in watersheds become stressed, the environment pays the price.

Streams and wetlands dry up, harming both aquatic and non-aquatic wildlife and entire ecosystems.

According to the report, total peak water demands are currently estimated at about 1.3 billion gallons of water per day, leaving a water supply surplus of 212 million gallons. But a surplus in Sussex County doesn’t help Cape May. Water supplies are not often readily transportable to places with water deficits.

And the surplus will quickly dwindle. By 2020, demand for potable water will rise by an additional 120 million gallons a day, cutting the surplus by more than half. That’s only three years from now!

The plan raises some critical questions: • Will New Jersey have enough water for 10.2 to 10.4 million people?

• Will we learn to conserve our water supplies to ensure sufficient water during droughts? Outdoor

use of potable water supplies is of particular concern.

• How will the state address the impacts of climate change, which may include hotter summers with greater water demands?

• What about coastal sea level rise, which will increase the potential for saltwater intrusion into southern Jersey’s water supply aquifers?

• Will population growth occur where water is currently available, or will it occur in areas that would require new infrastructure projects that could take years to develop?

• How will New Jersey pay for the billions of dollars in infrastructure investments needed?

• Will we protect water quality, and take action to reduce pollution from stormwater and runoff?

The report provides a data-rich portrait of these serious water supply challenges, but it falls short on solutions.

New Jersey sorely needs a comprehensive set of action plans on water policy, planning, legislative, regulatory, infrastructure repair, construction and funding - to ensure an adequate long-term water supply for our state’s growing population while protecting our natural ecosystems that depend on water.

The Department of Environmental Protection is accepting public comments on the draft plan at

three public meetings in July: Tuesday, July 11, at 1 p.m., NJ Department of Environmental Protection, 401 E. State St., Trenton, NJ, 08625; Wednesday, July 12, at 3 p.m., Millburn Public Library, 200 Glen Ave., Millburn, NJ, 07041; and Thursday, July 13, at 1 p.m., Stockton University Campus Center, Board of Trustees Room, 101 Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway, NJ, 08205.

In addition, the Department of Environmental Protection will accept written comments until the close of business on Wednesday, July 19. Electronic comments may be emailed to watersupply @ dep.nj.gov, with “Draft Water Supply Plan Comments” in the subject line.

COLLEGE CONNECTION

7A

By Susan Alaimo

New Jersey is one of the top exporters of students

New Jersey is known for its “brain drain” - with about 30,000 high school graduates heading out of state for college each year, leaving behind about 25,000 to attend in-state colleges and universities, according to Federal data.

Where do migrating students go? The Chronicle of Higher Education tracked the entering college freshmen class of 2014-15 (who will be college seniors in the fall) and found that the vast majority of students are attracted to schools in nearby states. The University of Delaware was

the most popular, enrolling 895 N.J. students. Penn State came in second, enrolling 884 N.J. students, and Drexel (in Philadelphia, PA) came in third, enrolling 631 students from the Garden State.

New York University was the fourth most popular, enrolling some 600 N.J. students, followed by three Philadelphia area universities: Villanova, Temple, and St. Joseph’s.

The top ten were rounded out with Syracuse (NY), Lehigh (PA) and the University of Maryland at College Park.

It’s not that New Jersey is

lacking colleges. It houses 19 public community colleges where many high school graduates choose to begin their education and strive to earn an associate degree without accumulating substantial student debt. New Jersey is also home to 11 public four-year colleges and universities, with highly regarded Rutgers University enrolling about 65,000 students spread over campuses in New Brunswick, Piscataway, Newark and Camden. Also, New Jersey boasts 14 private colleges and universities, including Princeton University,

which is often ranked as the premiere college in the country, and Seton Hall University and Fairleigh Dickinson University, which are the state’s largest.

Why does this brain drain exist? New Jersey is a small state, making it easy for students to cross the border to attend college while still remaining close to come. New Jersey is also an expensive state. The high cost of attending college in New Jersey — even the public universities — makes out-of-state schools extremely attractive when they

offer substantial grant, or scholarship, funds.

Colleges in neighboring states actively recruit New Jersey students because they view New Jersey as having many stellar schools and strong applicants. Colleges and universities that round out the list of “Top 25 schools with the most NJ students” are: Towson (MD), University of Rhode Island, University of Scranton (PA), James Madison (VA), Boston University (MA), University of Pittsburgh (PA), University of Michigan, Cornell University (NY), George

Washington University (Washington D.C.), Pace University (NY), Johnson & Wales University (RI), Quinnipiac University (CT), West Chester University (PA), Northeastern University (MA), and Loyola University (MD).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EMS decision a failure To the editor:

In last week’s front page article about the transition of EMS services from our hometown Hillsborough EMS/Rescue Squad to RWJUH, The Beacon reiterates comments made by the township committee, especially Frank DelCore, that the transition has been effective. Let’s look a little bit more closely at that claim.

RWJUH is obligated under their sweetheart contract to meet a standard of responding to 90 percent of their calls within 10.59 minutes. Pity the stroke or heart attack victim who falls into the other 10 percent! The other 10 percent of calls can have a response of any amount of time. Also please note that it is RWJUH that reports the response time information to the town. That may be good for RWJ, but it is not for our residents.

I am also not impressed with Committeeman DelCore’s report that supervisors of RWJ toured the township with the OEM director to be aware of “areas of town that may be a bit unique.” At any given time, the supervisors are not driving the ambulances.

Despite this so-called preparation by RWJ, there was an individual who needed an ambulance while attending Senior Citizen Group B’s monthly lunch at the Municipal Building within a week of RWJ’s takeover. 911 was called.

Witnesses saw an ambulance circle the Municipal

Building and then travel to the Senior Citizen Center further down South Branch Road by the YMCA before it went back to the Municipal Building. This all took precious seconds and minutes. If RWJ staff doesn’t know where to find the Municipal Building - the most central, well-known location in all of Hillsborough - how will they find the unique (or not unique) residences, businesses, farms, fields, rivers and woods tucked away in our 54 square mile township?

The township committee continues to talk about fiscal sustainability, but they have removed ambulances and other equipment from our rescue squad’s garages with no plan for their disposition.

Several of these ambulances are relatively new, and one was just delivered. These vehicles along with their equipment were purchased by our taxpayers’ hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the township to now be having discussions about “what makes the most sense going forward” regarding this equipment is a little bit late.

These are valuable township assets and should not be dumped in an auction for pennies on the dollar.

On top of this, residents using RWJ’s ambulances will soon feel additional pain in the amount of their bills. While the township leapt at the opportunity to accept RWJ’s “no cost” offer, it is only “no cost” to the township government. I am sure that residents who suffer emergencies would like to be fiscally sustainable too, but they won’t have a choice. They will

Directory of Worship Services

have to make up that cost and overhead, since RWJ will recoup their costs at their patients’ expense. Certainly the township could have reported out on that by now as part of their “effective start” of service.

So our township taxes still went up this year despite this deal, we’ve lost our local EMS and Rescue Squad that served our town for 50 years, we’re wasting our assets, we have a new ambulance service that couldn’t find its way to the Municipal Building, we don’t know what RWJUH services will cost their patients - all with unresolved conflicts of interest over this with a member of the township committee and it is all considered an “effective start” to the service? Seems like only an “effective end” to our old service, which could be really unfortunate for the next resident who suffers a serious emergency.

Faith Cannizzo of Hillsborough for being named to the Dean’s List for the Spring 2017 semester.

Cannizzo is one of 704 students to achieve this mark of academic excellence.

To make the Dean’s List, Cannizzo had to complete a minimum of 12 credit hours and achieve a semester grade-point average of at least 3.5 with no grades of D, F, Incomplete or Pass/Fail.

—Patrick Brake, of Hillsborough, is one of more than 200 student-athletes who competed for the Flying Dutchmen during the 2017 spring sports season. Brake, a graduate of Hun School of Princeton, is pursuing a bachelor of arts in undeclared/open major at The Valley.

Brake was a member of the men’s lacrosse team. Men’s lacrosse made its third consecutive appearance in the MAC Commonwealth Postseason Tournament this spring after seeing five players in Austin Minnich (1T), Klayton Garman (2T), Coleman Wagner (2T), Cameron Epple (2T), and Barrett Campbell (HM) earn all-conference honors. Minnich became the first player in the modern era to earn an invite to the USILA/Nike North-South All-Star Game, while Garman became just the second player in program history to net 100 goals for his career.

The Guest Who Won’t Leave

Bucks Playhouse gets big laughs with “The Nerd” By Anthony Stoeckert

From left: Grant Shaud, Zuzanna Szadkowski, Gavin Lee, Clea Alsip, Joe Kinosian and Kyle Cameron in “The Nerd” at Bucks County Playhouse.

oe Kinosian must be having an awful lot of fun playing the title character in “The Nerd” at the Bucks County Playhouse. He’s a blast right from the start, as he enters the proceedings in a crazy Halloween costume with a head resembling a fly’s. Soon he’s on the floor, asking a fellow party guest to help him take his pants off, insulting food he’s served, throwing deviled eggs all over the place, and annoying people he’s just met by leading them through a complicated game that involves everyone putting paper bags over their heads.

And that’s just the start of the antics from the character Rick Steadman in Larry Shue’s “The Nerd,” running in New Hope, Pennsylvania, through July 15.

This is a perfect comedy for the summer, filled with big laughs, a little bit of heart and a clever twist.

Kinosian’s character may be the attention-grabber, but this entire cast is terrific, all the actors are very funny.

Set in 1979, “The Nerd,” which was first produced in the early ’80s, centers around Willum Cubbert (played

by Kyle Cameron), an architect who’s building a hotel for the wealthy businessman Warnock Waldgrave (Grant Shaud). Willum is stressed out because of the project — it’s his ticket out of designing run-of-the-mill housing communities — but Waldgrave is chipping away at his creativity. Willum is also dealing with his non-relationship with his friend Tansy (Clea Alsip). He’s interested, and she isn’t totally opposed to the idea but has plans to leave Terra Haute, Indiana for a job in Washington D.C. As the play opens Tansy and another friend, Axel (played by Gavin Lee), are in Willum’s apartment, planning his birthday party. Joining them are Warnock, his wife Clelia (Zuzanna Szadkowski) and their young son Thor (Avey Noble).

This party doesn’t seem like a blast. Many of the play’s early laughs come from Lee as Axel: When Tansy says she isn’t ready to date Willum because she’s “fresh” out of a relationship, Axel notes that her relationship ended two years ago: “I’ll remember never to send you out for seafood.”

Noble also gets big laughs early on as the bratty Thor, who storms into the party, toy light saber in hand, and locks himself in the bathroom. Willum asks if there’s anything he can do, “You get the mortar, I’ll get the bricks,” Axel jabs.

Clelia, a ’70s new-age kind of parent, tells her husband to reason with their son, so he offers the kid $30 to get out of the bathroom but the kid demands $50.

“You little bloodsucker, I’ll see you in hell first,” Warnock shouts, before telling the kid he’ll deal with him later, “You’re a big, fat disappointment to me, I hope you know that!”

Shaud will be familiar to audiences for his role on the ’90s sitcom “Murphy Brown.” Recently he was on Broadway in “Relatively Speaking” and last year had a role in “Out in the City” at Passage Theatre in Trenton. He brings a helpless sort of bluster to the short-tempered, but always bargaining Waldgrave.

Szadkowski was a regular on “Gossip Girl,” and Lee is a Tony-nominee whose Broadway credits include “Les Miserables” and “Mary Poppins.” Cameron has performed in New York and around the country, and Alsip will be familiar to audiences who saw her in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” at Bucks a few years ago. She’s also set to appear in the upcoming Broadway production of “M. Butterfly.” The two women have a terrific scene together where Clelia asks if she can break some dishes as her son is locked in the bathroom. It’s a form of therapy that seems to do wonders, so Tansy gives a try in an attempt to stay civil while dealing with Rick.

The party may be lame but it, and Willum’s life, are about to get worse. Rick saved Willum’s life in Vietnam. Willum was a draftsman, safest job in the army, but within 48 hours of arriving in Vietnam, found himself in a rice field in his dress uniform, shot, sitting in mud. He woke up in a hospital in Japan, and was told his life was saved by Rick Steadman. They never met, but they have written to each other, and Willum told Rick that as long as Willum is alive, Rick will always have someone on this planet who will do anything for him.

Easier said than done. Rick arrives from Wisconsin. He works in a chalk factory, as an inspector, making sure there’s chalk in the boxes. Rick’s brother was “generous” enough to give Rick all of his money and credit cards so that he could go on a long trip. And Rick isn’t just here for the party, he invites himself to stay with Willum for a long time, sleeping on the couch, following him everywhere, and even deciding to join him in the architecture business. The Nerd has no training as an architect, but he added a chimney to a rendering of Willum’s and thinks he has a knack for it.

Kinosian is returning to Bucks, having performed in the holiday version of “Murder For Two” (which he co-wrote) there last year. His performance is topnotch as virtually every move his character makes is annoying to the characters,

Joe Kinosian and Kyle Cameron in “The Nerd.”

while still bringing humanity to the Nerd. Willum is the most sympathetic character, and in Cameron’s hands, you feel Willum’s pain.

The production does a good job of capturing the play’s late-’70s setting without going overboard or making it jokey. The set by Maruit Evans consists of Willum’s apartment with denim-colored furniture. In a clever move, the walls look like blueprints.

Costume designer Annie Simon has done a terrific job with the outfits, which include plaid pants, wide ties, a green polo-type shirt with stripes in the middle and a white color and, best of all, a powder-blue tuxedo worn by Axel.

“The Nerd” continues at the Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, through July 15. For tickets and information, go to bcptheater.org or call 215-862-2121.

STAGE REVIEW

By Anthony Stoeckert

There’s Magic to Do

Princeton Summer Theater’s ‘Pippin’ features a terrific cast who make the show funny and powerful

P

rinceton Summer Theater has opened its season with a lively, creative, and fun version of “Pippin.” It’s a production that emphasizes laughs, especially in the first act, while featuring fine acting, lovely singing, and some clever staging.

“Pippin” started out as a student musical by Stephen Schwartz at Carnegie Mellon University. After Schwartz’s Broadway breakthrough with “Godspell,” he returned to “Pippin,” writing the music and lyrics, while Roger O. Herson wrote the book. (Schwartz claimed that no dialogue or music from his college version made it to the finished work.)

The original 1972 Broadway production was directed by Bob Fosse and starred Ben Vereen as the Leading Player.

Vereen won the Tony for Best Performer by a Leading Actor in a Musical and Fosse won for direction and choreography but the show itself lost Best Musical to Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” Recent revivals have had a lighter touch than the original staging, and it’s that lighter style that PST is presenting at Hamilton Murray Theater through July 9.

The show’s meta premise is that a troupe of actors will share the story of Pippin, oldest son of Charlemagne, through story and song. Our host for the evening is The Leading Player (played by Alexandra Holden) who introduces herself and the other players through “Magic to Do.” On opening night, the cast was a bit clunky during this famous opening number, but things quickly got on track.

We’re introduced to Pippin (Kyle Mangold) the oldest son of King Charles (Elliot Masters). Pippin has a half brother Lewis (Lawrence Karl), and Lewis’ mother, Fastrada (Renee Gagner) would love to see her son become king, and comes up with a wicked plan to make that happen.

The plan doesn’t work, and it’s Pippin who take the throne. But he quickly learns that leadership isn’t for him, and goes on a journey of self discovery (how early ’70s of him).

Mangold is a very good Pippin. He is earnest and optimistic to start and also lively and passionate. Mangold’s voice is strong, he sings clearly and with confidence and is particularly impressive when holding notes.

Masters brings a different take to King Charles (at least different to me), and it’s a pleasure to watch him. Wearing a suit with a red tie, his Charles talks with a bravado that reminded me of a Hollywood golden-era studio boss promising a young actor that’s he gonna be a star.

At other times, he reminded me of a Jackie Gleason, and Sterling Hayden in “Dr. Strangelove.” His Charles is quite funny with lines like when he talks about working with the Pope to spread Christianity, “even if it means killing every

But this Charles also is wise and understanding. During a vital scene between Pippin and Charles (which I won’t give away), Masters even brings some warmth to the part.

Holden is less menacing as The Leading Player than in previous versions I’ve seen, but she’s very effective. Things eventually take a serious turn, and the Player’s evolution from friendly host to demanding manipulator is jarring as she expresses her disgust at Pippin for not fulfilling his destiny. Her frustration extends to the orchestra, and even the audience.

Director Sam Weisberg has gotten fine work from this cast and sets an interesting mood throughout. A war scene is danced out to a catchy toe-tapping piano number. The actors fight in comic ways as Charles conducts (making sure he himself isn’t at risk). The staging of the battle may be comedic, but Pippin being scarred by it is totally believable, thanks to the acting and direction.

The entire cast does fine work. Other standouts include

Karl as the heroic but dimwitted brother. Gagner is slyly charming as the stepmother, and Bridget McNiff does a lovely job as Pippin’s love interest, Catherine, her singing is most impressive during “There He Was” and “Kind of Women.” Dylan Blau Edelstein is sure to touch your heart as Theo, Catherine’s shy son.

It all adds up to a terrific start to what looks like a promising summer at Hamilton Murray Theater. The rest of its season will feature Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web,” July 13-23; Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” July 27 through Aug. 6, and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ “Appropriate,” Aug. 10-20. I’m looking forward to seeing what else this company has in store for us over the next two months.

Princeton Summer Theater is performing “Pippin” at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the campus of Princeton University through July 9. Performances: Thurs.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m. Tickets cost $29.50; www.princetonsummertheater.org; 732-997-0205.

ATLANTIC CITY

By Mike Morsch

Music Has a Place in His Life Michael McDonald will play classic hits and newer songs during his gig at the Tropicana

M

ichael McDonald had this little riff that had been rolling around in his mind for a while.

“It really hadn’t gone anywhere, but I knew there was something to it,” McDonald says. “I just never had the wherewithal to finish the song.”

One day while talking on the phone with Tiran Porter, his Doobie Brothers bandmate, Porter mentioned that he had run into Kenny Loggins and Loggins had said that he wanted to write a song with McDonald.

Loggins asked Porter to give his number to McDonald.

It was 1978 and Loggins was just coming off a successful run in the 1970s with Jim Messina as Loggins and Messina. After a string of hits, the duo had split in 1977 and Loggins was pursuing a solo career.

McDonald, who had joined the Doobie Brothers in 1975 after a few years as a member of Steely Dan’s touring band and recording team, liked the idea of writing a song with Loggins. So the two connected and made a date to meet at McDonald’s house.

When McDonald’s sister found out about the meeting, she sprang into action.

“I had never met the guy and I was kind of nervous,” McDonald says. “My sister decided to come over and clean up my house because it was usually pretty trashed. She decided that she was going to meet Kenny Loggins and that I should at least not have my dirty laundry in a pile in the living room.”

On the day of the meeting, as his sister went about doing the laundry and cleaning out the ashtrays, McDonald sat down at the piano and started thinking about what he wanted to play for Loggins.

“I had played that little riff for Ted Templeman [Doobie Brothers producer] a few times and every time I played it, he’d say, ‘You’ve got to finish that song. It’s a hit, I’m telling you,’” McDonald says. “I would just laugh and say, ‘If I come up with anything, I’ll let you know.’”

So McDonald decided to play the riff for his sister that day.

Michael McDonald remains driven to make music, and will bring four decades’ of hits to the Tropicana Showroom, July 8.

“I said to her, ‘I’m thinking of playing this for Kenny. What do you think?’” McDonald says.

But just as McDonald was in the middle of playing the riff, the doorbell rang. It was Loggins.

“Before I could say anything, he goes, ‘You were just playing something on the piano, is that new?’ And I said, ‘Well, yeah, I was thinking about playing it for you.’

And he said, ‘That’s the one I want to work on,’” McDonald says.

For the next two days the duo came up with the bridge and chorus and the rest of the words for the song. And it turned out that Ted Templeman was right.

The song was “What A Fool Believes,” and when it was released in January 1979 as the first single from the band’s “Minute

by Minute” album, it became the second No. 1 hit for the Doobie Brothers. It also

earned McDonald and Loggins two Grammy Awards: for Song of the Year and Record of the Year in 1980.

“It was just one of those moments that was meant to be,” says McDonald, who went on to write several more songs with Loggins, a songwriting partnership that continues to this day.

The Doobie Brothers would initially break up in 1982 and McDonald would go on to develop a successful solo career in the 1980s. In 1982, he released his first solo album, “If That’s What It Takes,” which featured the hit single “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every time You’re Near)” and “I Gotta Try,” a song he co-wrote with Loggins.

All of that music history will be on display when McDonald performs at the Tropicana Showroom in Atlantic City, July 8, sharing the bill with Boz Scaggs.

McDonald is in the middle of a tour to

promote his new album “Wide Open,” which will be released in September. It’s his ninth solo album and first full-length release since 2008.

“What I’m finding at this age is that I still have a great need to make records,” McDonald says. “But I’m not sure I’m any more sure today why, what the real drive is, anymore than I did when I was in my 20s.”

McDonald said that he thought he wanted to be in a rock band playing arenas and living the life, which he accomplished.

But he learned that really wasn’t what “it” was all about and he had to discover what really inspired the musical drive within him.

“I found out that I was trying to ring that same bell that I rung so easily as a kid when I was 14 in the back of a van with no air conditioning, sweating my ass off going to a gig where I was gonna sweat some more,” he says. “It wasn’t very glamorous, but there was nothing more thrilling than getting up there and just making music with my buddies. That’s as good as it was ever gonna get for me. And that’s enough to make me still want to go into the studio today at age 65 and make a record.”

To this point, McDonald is pleased with the way the tour is progressing and the reaction he’s getting from fans on the new material.

“We’ll pull in older stuff and obscure stuff and change it out from show to show, but having new stuff to play is a whole other dynamic for us that I have to say, we’ve enjoyed,” McDonald says. “It’s a lot of fun and a little daunting at the same time because you just don’t know how people are going to react. So far, so good, though.

We’re having a real good time with it and people seem genuinely enthusiastic about it.”

Michael McDonald will perform at the Tropicana Showroom in Atlantic City, July 8, 8 p.m. For tickets and information, go to tropicana.net.

STAGE REVIEW

By Anthony Stoeckert

‘Measure for Measure’ at Kelsey

W

hen it comes to popularity, “Measure for Measure” falls someone in the middle of the Shakespeare canon. It’s no “Hamlet” or “Romeo and Juliet,” but it’s certainly better-known than “King John” or “Cymbeline.”

That’s somewhat surprising because while it has a reputation for being difficult to stage, the play’s themes involving power, corruption, love and family obligations remain relevant. Shakespeare ’70 has done an impressive job with its current version of this so-called “problem play,” on stage at Kelsey Theatre in West Windsor through July 2.

What makes this production stand out is the acting, which is exceptional for a community group. Lines are said clearly and conversationally — these actors are acting, capturing the characters’ emotions and conflicts, while not getting caught up in the po-

etry of Shakespeare’s language.

We’re in Vienna, where the good Duke Vincentio (John Bergeron) is disappointed in his city. Morals have all but vanished, so he announces he’s going on a diplomatic mission, leaving the city to the charge of Angelo (Ray Fallon). In truth, the Duke stays in Vienna, disguised as a monk in order to observe his people without them knowing who he is.

Angelo is as strict as they come and lays down the law, including sentencing to death Claudio (played by John Fischer the first weekend; Michael Krahel will take on the part this weekend) for impregnating Juliet (Kelly Colleran) before they are married.

Claudio’s sister, Isabella (Morgan Petronis) is training to become a nun. She goes to Angelo in an attempt to save her brother’s life. Claudio is taken by Isabella and makes a deal with her, if she sleeps him, he’ll free Claudio.

Through his efforts art, industry and society were brought together to inspire the everyday Newark citizen through accessible and beautiful exhibitions.

Dana’s goal was to educate by presenting examples of superior design to the greatest number of people possible, including Newark’s immigrant and working-class population; making art a vital part of Newark’s culture and society.

Morven’s nearly 50 loans hail from public and private collections from across the country and will reflect Dana’s vision by including painting, textiles, ceramics, and sculptures, through Jan. 28, 2018. Hours: Wed.-Sun. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. $10, $8 seniors/students; morven.org; 609924-8144.

Lighting Up the Sky Celebrate America’s independence with fireworks, music and history

By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor Fourth of July is all about celebrating America at a barbecue, a day at the beach, a ballgame, and, of course, with some fireworks.

The skies will be bursting with colors heading toward the holiday as various towns in the area host their annual fireworks shows. Many of these salutes to America include live music and activities for kids.

And if you or someone in your family doesn’t like fireworks, there are other ways to get in the spirit and celebrate the nation’s history.

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra will perform a free concert at the Mercer County Park Festival Grounds, followed by fireworks, July 1, beginning at 8 p.m.

The concert, titled “Road Trip Across the USA” will feature a medley of Bruce Springsteen hits as well as music from John Williams’ score to “Lincoln,” Copland’s “Rodeo” and a touch of Disney with music from “Beauty and the Beast.”

The concert will be followed by a fireworks show. There also will be food for sale. For more information, go to mercercountyparks.org.

East Windsor’s Independence Day celebration will take place at Etra Lake Park, July 1.

Bring blankets and chairs, and hot dogs and burgers for the grill.

Entertainment will begin at 6 p.m. with Jerry Rife’s Rhythm Kings Dixieland Jazz Band. They will be followed at 7:30 p.m. by the Trenton Brass Quintet Plus One, a six-piece ensemble performing Americana and a variety of popular melodies.

The fireworks display will begin immediately following the musical presentations, at approximately 9:30 p.m. There also will be vendors selling refreshments. The rain date for the event is July 8.

Hillsborough Township’s Independence Day celebration and fireworks is set for July 1 at Auten Road Intermediate School, 281 Auten Road, Hillsborough.

The fun begins at 5 p.m. with free amusements for kids including dunk pit basketball, castle fun center, a family fun slide and an obstacle course. There also will be a free dunk tank, pay-to-play boardwalk games and a D.J.

LOOSE ENDS

Fireworks celebrations are happening throughout the area this year, with many celebrations offering food, live entertainment and activities for kids.

Food for sale will include pizza, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, kettle corn and more. The rain date is July 2.

Morven Museum & Garden will host its annual free Independence Day festivities, July 4, noon to 3 p.m.

Stacy Flora Roth will perform “Over Here, Molly Pitcher!” a dramatic presentation highlighting the lives of women who “belonged to the army” during the American Revolution. The character will talk about the days when she accompanied her husband through summer battles and winter encampments from Valley Forge to Monmouth to Morristown.

The afternoon will also feature bluegrass music by the Ocean Country Band, who will be playing on the mansion’s front porch. Food will be for sale, and General George Washington (played by Bill Agress) will meet and greet visitors. Plus kids can

“sign” the Declaration of Independence.

Other activities include demonstrations such as ice cream making, gun-smithing, and more. The exhibit “Newark and the Culture of Art: 1900-1960” will be on view. Admission to the museum is required to see the exhibit. Admission costs $10, $8 seniors/students. A family rate of $25 for two adults and two children is available. Free for children under 6.

century. Small samples will be available.

Inside the house, the Patriots Choir will sing patriotic songs from the 18th to 20th centuries. Guests are invited to sing along.

Attendees are invited to bring a picnic, no alcohol is permitted in the park. For more information, go to www.cranburytownship.org.

Pam Hersh

Chris Lokhammer and her ‘children’ The last time I saw Chris Lokhammer, she was in her element — at a grant-award meeting of a philanthropic organization. Some of the meeting participants were chatting about having “issues” with their kids. Lokhammer commented that she had no children but “had lots of children” and was banking on their future successes in life. We had to get on with the meeting, and I never clarified the puzzling statement.

The puzzle was solved on a very sad occasion, when I read her obituary. Lokhammer, a much beloved Princeton banking executive and philanthropist/donor of both time and dollars to community causes, died on June 10. I realized that perhaps her “children” statement referred to young girls — and their mothers — whose lives have been transformed for the better by the Princeton Area Community Foundation Fund for Women and Girls.

The obituary stated that Lokhammer requested contributions be made to one of two charitable funds established in her name at the Princeton Area Community Foundation, 15 Princess Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648. They are “The Chris Lokhammer Fund for the Benefit of the Fund for Women and Girls” and “The Chris Lokhammer Internship Fund for the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed.”

In characteristic Chris getting-it-done-andleaving-no-room-for-ambiguity style, the donor instructions were not only in the obit, but also in the memorial service program and in separate note cards distributed to all of her friends and colleagues at the service.

I never could match the words of love and praise for Lokhammer, who was described as wonderful, generous, loving, selfless, smart, strong, caring, and other adjectives of praise. So I wanted to honor her by using my words to highlight The Fund for Women and Girls, defined as a community of philanthropists working together to improve the lives of women and girls in central New Jersey.

Lokhammer adopted the FWG when it was a toddler, two years after her husband of 35 years died.

FWG’s offspring will speak to her character for-

Chris Lokhammer was a banker and philanthropist who dedicated her life to helping others, especially young mothers in need. ever.

According to Princeton Area Community Foundation’s vice president for development Elizabeth Wagner, Chris Lokhammer first joined the Fund for Women and Girls in 2003, five years after the fund was initiated.

“That’s the year she also joined the Community Foundation’s board,” Wagner said. “She began her enthusiastic support of FWG immediately and never stopped. The Chris Lokhammer Fund will make an annual contribution to the FWG’s grantmaking, so it will always support the creation of

critical opportunities for our region’s women and girls. Chris chose not to tell us what [organizations] should be supported, intending instead to trust the wisdom of the women who make FWG strong.”

That statement reflects Chris’ entire mode of supervising, mentoring, and advising. She trusted and respected the wisdom and talents of others, while simultaneously teaching and inspiring others with her wisdom and talents.

Carolyn Sanderson, an executive director and financial adviser with Morgan Stanley, is a Community Foundation board member and now chair of the Fund for Women and Girls. When Sanderson talked to me about the vision and mission of FWG, I could picture Lokhammer nodding her head with her characteristically joyful smile. That mission is “to improve the lives of economically vulnerable women and girls in greater Mercer County through community investment, education and collaboration.”

Right about the time Lokhammer joined the FWG initiative, the Fund began making grants or investments — to date totaling more than $690,000 to Mercer County organizations that are committed to meeting the needs of girls and women. FWG just concluded a record-breaking, grant-making year in which it raised $132,500.

“From a professional standpoint as a woman in finance, I am personally committed to ensuring that women feel empowered to make sound financial decisions for themselves and their families,” Sanderson said. “Many don’t feel capable of doing so.” Many then find themselves in vulnerable situations. The FWG grant-recipient organizations are working in the areas of domestic violence, mentoring, sex education (to prevent teen pregnancy and school drop out), and childcare.

The hundreds of women and girls benefiting from FWG grants probably would want to thank Lokhammer and other dedicated FWG members who have given time and money to the fund over the course of two decades. I can picture Chris shrugging off the thanks in a gesture of ‘no big deal,’ offering a hug, and saying “Go Girl!”

Immunotherapy to fight cancer

More than 1.6 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2017, according to the American Cancer Society.

And though nearly 600,000 people will die from the disease this year, the number of people living beyond a cancer diagnosis continues to rise. In fact, since the early 1990s, the death rate from cancer has decreased by 25 percent.

This decrease reflects the progress made in prevention and early diagnosis as well as advances in new treatment approaches, including immunotherapy, a rapidly advancing form of treatment that in simplest terms manipulates the immune system to fight cancer.

At Edward & Marie Matthews Cancer Center at University Medical Center of Princeton, patients have access to cutting-edge services, including certain types of immunotherapy, for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Cancer basics Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.

As cancer cells keep growing, they crowd out healthy cells and interrupt your body’s normal function.

There are more than 100 types of cancer, and they are normally named by the places in your body where they first form. Among the most common types of cancer are: lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, melanoma, bladder, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Cancer is the secondleading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease, claiming the lives of nearly 1 in 4 people each year, according to the American Cancer Society.

Your immune system The overall function of your immune system is to prevent or limit infection by identifying and attacking foreign substances like germs and cancer cells.

However, cancer cells are tricky.

Your immune system does not always recognize them as foreign; if it does, it might not be strong enough to destroy them. Additionally, cancer cells themselves give off substances to keep immune cells at bay and prevent the immune system from doing its job.

In recent years, researchers have found ways to manipulate the immune system to better detect and destroy abnormal cells and fight cancer, giving rise to immunotherapy.

Your immune system versus cancer While traditional chemotherapy and radiation work by killing cancer cells, immunotherapy works differently. Instead of going after cancer cells directly, immunotherapy uses the immune system to fight the disease. This approach can be more specific and precise and may be more easily tolerated, especially for patients who have other health complications.

In general, immunotherapy drugs either stimulate the activities of specific components of the immune

system to attack cancer cells or counteract signals produced by cancer cells that suppress immune responses.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are an example of one of one immunotherapy approach. Immune checkpoint proteins are regularly produced by your immune system to prevent an overly intense response that might damage normal cells.

Cancer cells, however, have found a way to use these proteins to prevent the immune system from attacking them.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors block the function of these proteins, essentially releasing the brakes on the immune system, increasing its ability to destroy cancer cells.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are part of a broader class of immunotherapy drugs called monoclonal antibodies. Some other types of monoclonal antibodies work by attaching themselves to cancer cells and acting as a marker for the body’s immune system to attack them. Still others work by attaching to and blocking antigens on cancer cells (or other nearby cells) that help cancer cells grow or spread.

Monoclonal antibodies are used to treat several cancers including breast, lymphoma and colorectal, in addition to melanoma, and bladder and lung cancer.

Some forms of immunotherapy are part of a standard treatment plan, while others are still experimental and may be used when other approaches have failed.

While immunotherapy is

typically tolerated better than chemotherapy, it can have side effects that affect people in different ways.

Common side effects may include: • Pain, itching, soreness, swelling at the needle site if immunotherapy is administered intravenously • Flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, muscle or joint aches, fatigue, headache • Swelling and weight gain from retaining water • Heart palpitations • Sinus congestion • Diarrhea • Risk of infection • More serious, but rare, side effects may include problems with the heart, lung and skin, and bleeding

Is immunotherapy right for you?

Though surgery, chemotherapy and radiation remain the standard in cancer treatment, immunotherapy therapy drugs are increasingly being used as part of treatment or on their own to fight the disease.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, talk to your doctor about your treatment options and the benefits and risks of each to determine if immunotherapy may be right for you.
