Planners: Both sides of Scotch Road should be redeveloped By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
The Hopewell Township Planning Board has recommended that both sides of Scotch Road, between I-95 and County Route 546, should be designated as “an area in need of redevelopment” in a 51 vote last week. Planning board members Jack Belmont, Rex Parker, Russell Swanson, Chairman Karen Murphy and Vice Chairman Paul Kiss
voted for it, but Larry Clarke cast the lone dissenting vote at the June 22 meeting. The planning board’s recommendation will be sent back to the township committee, which asked the board to consider the issue. The township committee approved a resolution at its May 8 meeting that sought a study of Scotch Road. The planning board’s action last week does not affect the zoning and permitted uses on the
Scotch Road properties. The land is zone for office parks. The township committee would have to adopt changes to the zoning ordinance, not the planning board. “This report does not recommend any plan or strategy for use of, or modifications to, the property,” planning consultant Frank Banisch wrote in a report on the topic. It would be up to township committee to prepare a redevelopment plan for the properties, he wrote.
State law allows for a town to engage in redevelopment of properties by declaring - and including - them in “an area in need of redevelopment.” State law also allows for the acquisition of land through condemnation proceedings, but township committee made it clear that condemnation is not part of the plan for the Scotch Road properties. The state redevelopment law also permits a town to - among
other things - partner with developers, “refine land use policies and development regulations to promote desired redevelopment,” and to qualify for bonus credits to be applied toward its fair share obligation to provide affordable housing, Banisch wrote in his report. Although the term “an area in need of redevelopment” is generally associated with urban renewal, state law has been See SCOTCH ROAD, Page 3A
School district outlines budget with committee
By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
In the interest of sharing, Hopewell Valley Regional School District officials reviewed the school district’s 2017-18 budget with the Hopewell Township Committee Monday night. The two bodies had intended to get together before the school district’s $84.4 million budget was approved by the school board, but the meeting did not occur. School district officials are “fully aware” of their responsibility and want to share how the school district spends taxpayers’ dollars with the Hopewell Township Committee, said Superintendent of Schools Thomas Smith. “We take a lot of pride in what we provide to the community,” Smith said as he launched into an overview of the budget. There is a strong emphasis on the “whole child,” which addresses students’ social and emotional health, he said. The school district offers more than 100 clubs and other extra-curricular activities, in which more than 90 percent of students participate. Smith also noted that the school district’s $35 million bond
referendum was approved by almost a 2-1 margin in September 2016. The referendum will pay for renovations and additions. Smith said some of the school district’s prior debt will begin to “fall off” in 2021 and will be paid off. The debt from the 2016 referendum will be folded into the district’s ongoing debt service, and the state will reimburse the district for 40 percent of the new debt service. Committeeman John Hart said he would have preferred for the referendum vote to have been held in November in conjunction with the general election. Only about 1,200 voters cast ballots in the September 2016 referendum, he said. Mayor Kevin Kuchinski said that getting the state to reimburse 40 percent of the debt service was “fiscally responsible.” He agreed that a lot of debt will be coming off the rolls as it is paid off. Mayor Kuchinski also said that Hopewell Township residents are paying a significant portion toward the $70.7 million tax levy to support the 2017-18 budget.

Nearly 20 acres acquired for Watershed conservation By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
215-354-3146
Conservationists affiliated with the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association recently celebrated the acquisition of nearly 20 acres of land in its continued pursuit of preservation. On June 21, the environmental group officially purchased a 19.4 acre property located on the north slope of the Mount Rose Ridge from the Hopewell Veterinary Group.
This latest acquisition is contiguous to the Watershed Reserve, located off of Route 654 near Crusher Road and expands the reserve’s total area to 950 acres. Watershed Executive Director Jim Waltman said the land is home to “some of the most environmentally sensitive and biologically diverse habitat” in Hopewell Township. “This acquisition protects a relatively rare patch of old forest with dense mature understory plants and few invasive species,”
he said. “This purchase protects from potential development a section of the Bedens Brook watershed, an area that is still relatively healthy compared to other areas within the Millstone Watershed.” According to officials, the land deal was two years in the making, with the final price tag for the property totaling approximately $400,000. Waltman said the group received funding for the purchase through the New Jersey Green Acres Program, the Mercer
County Open Space Fun and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s Franklin Parker Grants Program. “We appreciate the confidence our funding partners have in us,” he said. “This acquisition expands the natural habitat protected by our Watershed Reserve.” In the deal, the Hopewell Veterinary Group kept roughly six acres of its original 26.2 acre property. There, the group still has their veterinary hospital and parking lots.
Having subdivided the original
property into two separate plots of land for different uses, Waltman said this type of transaction could
become a landmark move for other organizations.
“Moving forward, I believe
that many more conservation proj-
ects that non-profits and govern-
ments do in New Jersey will
involve this kind of ‘conservation subdivision,’” he said.

TOOTH STRAIGHTENING BY MAIL? While the Invisalign toothstraightening system uses a series of clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth under an orthodontist’s supervision, some companies have been offering direct-to-consumer clear aligners that bypass the orthodontist. Is this a good idea? The American Association of Orthodontists doesn’t think so and warns consumers against moving teeth without an initial exam, proper diagnosis and continuing supervision by an orthodontist. The best example I can give is if all the wood and supplies to build a house were dropped off, could you build your house? Yes, you could build a house, but it would be poorly constructed and not last. The same is true for mail order orthodontics. You need a professional to get a good result that will last. Tooth straightening at home poses risks that outweigh any monetary savings. In life, you usually get what you pay for. It is a common misconception that orthodontic treatment is just about having straighter teeth. While this is true, a good orthodontist will enhance your overall dental health. This will result in improvements in breathing, speaking, sleeping and eating. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please FDOO WKH RI¿FH RI MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-730-1414. We are located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.
P.S. All orthodontists deem that an in-person exam is critical to looking for untreated cavities and underlying gum infections that should be addressed before any teeth straightening is done.

modified to include land that is not defined as “blighted,“ Banisch told the planning board. State law has expanded the definition to include an area that “may include land, buildings or improvements which of themselves are not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, but the inclusion of which is found necessary, with or without change in their condition, for the effective redevelopment of an era of which they are a part,” Banisch wrote. A property or properties can be determined to be “an area in need of redevelopment” if at least one of several criteria is met. The planning board decided, after reading Banisch’s report and discussing it, that the Scotch Road properties met several of the criteria. The Scotch Road properties met the criterion of having “obsolete layout or other factors (that) are detrimental to the safety, health, morals or welfare of the community.” The land has remained undeveloped, and the current owner - CF Hopewell -
has asked for a change to permit mixed residential and non-residential uses, Banisch wrote. Another criterion, which also has been met, is “a growing lack of proper utilization” of the land. Banisch wrote in his report that changes in the economy have resulted in less demand for office parks. As a result, the assessed values for property tax purposes of the former Merrill Lynch and Capital Healthy Systems properties have declined. Also, Capital Health Systems and CF Hopewell asked for changes in the zoning ordinance to allow for assisted living and memory care facilities as permitted uses on their respective properties. “The absence of a market for the approved uses indicates that the General Development Plan approval resulted in what has become an obsolete layout, resulting in the properties not being fully productive,” Banisch wrote. And that is the basis for recommending that the stretch of Scotch Road - between I-95 and County
ough property owners contribute 10 percent toward the tax levy. School district Business Administrator Robert Colavita said the apportionment of taxes is based on a formula set up in 1965, and that there is nothing that can be done. The voters in the three towns would have to approve a change to the formula, he said. Hart said there are many houses up for sale in Hopewell Township, and it
appears there is a mass exodus from the town. He said there are more than 60 properties in foreclosure, and there are $1 million homes that are standing empty. “It is up to you to sharpen your pencils,” Hart told Smith and Colavita. Committeewoman Vanessa Sandom asked whether state aid could be increased for the Hopewell Valley Regional School District. The district will receive $2.8 million in state
aid for 2017-18. This compares to $3.4 million for the Princeton Public Schools, which enrolls 3,681 students as compared to 3,616 in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District. Smith replied that state officials view the Hopewell school district as more affluent than Princeton, based on the number of students who qualify - based on family income - for a free or reduced-price lunch.

Route 546 - as an area in need of redevelopment. Some citizens had other ideas, however. When the meeting was opened for public comment, former Mayor Harvey Lester and Michael Pisauro of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association decried township officials’ “rush to judgment.” Lester said that anyone with common sense would know that redeveloping the west side of Scotch Road, which is farmland, is “insane” - but the planning board has its marching orders from township committee. Meeting the criteria for an area in need of redevelopment is “in the eyes of the beholder,” he added. Pisauro also disagreed with the notion that farmland is unproductive, in terms of proper usage of property. The overall proceedings

THE STATE WE’RE IN
Friday, June 30, 2017
www.hopewellvalleynews.com
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.

ARRANGING FOR YOURSELF
Funeral pre-arrangement enables consumers to decide what type of funeral service, casket, and burial vault they want. In addition, anyone anticipating future needs can choose aspects of a funeral such as clergy, place of burial or other method of disposition, owers, information for an obituary notice, and other details they may wish to include. Funeral pre-arrangement allows individuals to exert control over the last important event of their life. More importantly, from an emotional standpoint, it eases the burden for those who would otherwise have to make the tough decisions about a loved one’s funeral under very trying circumstances. It is far better to plan your own funeral and not shift the responsibility to those you love most.
You can make arrangements directly with a funeral establishment or through a funeral planning or memorial society - a nonproďŹ t organization that provides information about funerals and disposition but doesn’t offer funeral services. Contact us any time, whether you are in need of traditional services, immediate burials, cremations, or would simply like to learn more about pre-planning programs. To learn more about the services we offer, please call 609-737-2900. We are located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881. “Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present.â€? Anonymous

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.”
Clelia (Zuzanna Szadkowski) helps Rick (Joe Kinosian) take off his costume in “The Nerd.” In the background from left: Gavin Lee as Axel and Grant Shaud was Warnock Waldgrave.
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

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.

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.

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.

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!”

Mercer County Park to host jazz festival
Randy Brown of Jacobs Music Company presented Elizabeth Yang with the Junior Artist Award at the The Princeton Festival’s young pianists competition.
Princeton Festival competition winners On June 11, six young pianists were declared winners in The Princeton Festival’s annual Competition for Young Pianists. The annual event was held at the Clark Music Center on the campus of The Lawrenceville School.

After the preliminary rounds, competitors went on to the final round. Winners were named in the following categories: Elementary Artists (ages 6-9): Elijah Yoon of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania; Junior Artists (ages 13-15): Elizabeth Yang of Belle Mead; Senior Artists (ages 16-18): Qinghong Lian of Flushing, New York; Four Hands: sister and brother Elizabeth Yang and James Yang of Belle Mead; Open Class (under the age of 25): Ziang Xu of Boston, Massachusetts.

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. The Cancer Program at UMCP is accredited by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer. It is a two-time recipient of the CoC’s Outstanding Achievement
Award. UMCP and the UMCP Breast Health Center earned accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, and the UMCP Breast Health Center is designated as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.
