Local group using painted rocks to promote unity Businesses, police and other groups contribute to ‘Hillsborough Rocks!’

into the community.” Hillsborough Rocks! has earned the support of the Hillsborough Township Police Department and the township’s various fire departments, with each creating their own painted rocks as well. In addition, Franco said a number of local businesses have also gotten involved in the project, attaching special offers and prizes to their rocks. For example, the local Gymboree has painted 20 “Gumbo Rocks” that if they are brought back to their location, will result in a prize in exchange for the rock. Since the start, the Belle Mead Co-op has sponsored the Hillsborough Rocks! effort. Through its support, the organization has donated a large number of rocks for participants to pick up and paint. “Not only is this something that’s getting all of us out of the house and joining us together, but it could get residents interested in the businesses around town,” Franco said. Looking past the summer months, Franco said she hopes to Courtesy photos see Hillsborough Rocks! continue on, with potential for the school Hillsborough residents of all ages are participating in ‘Hillsborough Rocks,’ including Skyla Joswick and district and other organizations to placed back where it was found, hidden in another location or simply kept by the person who found it, with the idea being that they would paint another rock to add to the game. The premise for Hillsborough Rocks!, which has since garnered more than 500 members on its Facebook page, stems from similar efforts throughout the country. Franco she got the idea to bring the effort to Hillsborough after
visiting a friend in Phillipsburg, Warren County, which has its own version called P-burg Rocks. “We participated and it was just honestly the most genuine fun I’ve had with my friends and kids in years,” she said. “I just thought that was incredible and that my town was just too cool to not have this sort of thing going on.” As hand painted rocks get placed throughout the township, Franco said she hoped that it
Sticks and stones may break bones, but rocks in Hillsborough are helping strengthen the community thanks to a local movement aimed at getting people outside and spreading positivity to anyone willing to pick up a rock. Created on July 4, Hillsborough Rocks! is described by its founder Lauren Franco as a communitybuilding project meant to “inspire creativity in all ages and energize people to explore the beautiful area we live in.” “Essentially, it’s one big hideand-seek game with painted rocks,” she said. “Ideally, this started as people putting positive messages and all sorts of other things on their rocks for people to find.” Through the Hillsborough Rocks! group, people paint rocks and hide them somewhere throughout the township for people to find. Other individuals participating in the game then find those rocks and post pictures of themselves with the painted rocks on social media, using the hashtag #HillsborOfficer Wilde (left) and Juliet Franco and Skylar Knaub (right). oughRocks.

My parents kicked me out the door and said ‘go play’ and I didn’t come home until the streetlights came on,” she said. “The goal is to be able to enjoy the place where you live and really it’s a positive thing to get kids and adults alike out of the house and

County prosecutors announce annual scholarships By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
Law, undergraduate and graduate students throughout the state will again have an opportunity to more easily fund their higher education pursuits through four yearly scholarships provided by the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey (CPANJ). Student hopefuls looking to take advantage of the Oscar W. Rittenhouse, Andrew K. Ruotolo, Jr., Harris Y. Cotton and John H. Stamler Memorial Scholarships have until Sept. 15 send in their applications. All applicants must demonstrate a financial need and meet a number of criteria. Applicants will be notified of the committees decision by October. Applications can be obtained by contacting Terri Eide at 609-9896309 or via e-mail at teide@mercercounty.org. They can also be found at mercercountyprosecutor.com. The County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey Committee is a non-profit corporation that
awards the four scholarships, each valued at $3,500 each, on a yearly basis. The scholarship funds are paid directly to the winner and previous recipients are not allowed to enter. According to the CPANJ, the Oscar W. Rittenhouse Memorial Scholarship is only available for New Jersey residents who have recently been accepted into law school, has an interest in pursuing a career as a prosecutor and can
demonstrate a financial need. Rittenhouse was named by Governor Brendan Byrne to serve as Hunterdon County’s first fulltime prosecutor in 1975 after spending most of his professional year as a lawyer. Four years later in 1979, while on his way home from a presentation on juvenile delinquency prevention at a meeting of the National District Attorneys Association in Biloxi, Miss., Ritten-
house died in an airplane accident at 48 years old. The Andrew K. Ruotolo, Jr. Scholarship is annually awarded to a New Jersey resident accepted for admission to a law school or graduate school. According to officials, the applicant must “exhibit an interest in, and commitment to, enhancing the rights and wellbeing of children through child advocacy programs.” Ruotolo, Jr. joined the U.S. At-

Hillsborough woman dies, husband in serious condition, after I-78 accident By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
An accident that shut down lanes in both directions of Interstate 78 on Monday claimed the life of a Hillsborough woman and left her husband recovering from serious injuries at an area hospital. According to Lt. Theodore Schafer, of the New Jersey State
Police, the accident occurred just before 3 p.m. when a 2006 Ford F-250 traveling east along the interstate near Pohatcong Township suffered a tire failure and overturned off the left side of the Exit 3 ramp. Officials said the truck was hauling a 2002 travel trailer at the time of the accident. Michelle Ferrante, 51, was declared dead at the scene by
emergency personnel after she suffered fatal injuries when she was ejected from the truck. Her husband, Anthony Ferrante, 50, was driving at the time of the accident and sustained serious injuries as a result. He was taken to St. Luke’s University Hospital in Fountain Hill via helicopter. No other vehicles were involved and no other individuals

THE STATE WE’RE IN
Friday, July 14, 2017
By Michele S. Byers
Summertime and the digging is easy
This time of year, it’s common to see kids digging in the sand with colorful plastic buckets, shovels and sifters. They can be found all over New Jersey’s ocean and bay beaches. But one lucky group will be digging in landlocked Mantua Township in Gloucester County, far from the sea. Instead of building sand castles, these kids will be excavating fossilized shark teeth, sponges, shells, fish bones and more. They’re camping at the Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park, a former sand quarry that turned out to be one of New Jersey’s fossil hot spots and was purchased by Rowan University last fall. Over the course of two weeks, 120 children ages 7-12 will learn what it’s like to be a paleontologist. “We’re treating them like little scientists,” said Heather Simmons, associate director of the Edelman Fossil Park. Campers will be equipped with plastic digging tools - basically, beach toys - because metal tools can damage fragile fossils. Professional geologists and paleontologists will instruct them. The “Geo Explorers” camp is just one of many community outreach projects at the Edelman Fossil Park, which aims to become New Jersey’s premier fossil destination. In addition to a university research facility, the Edelman Fossil Park plans to build an interactive museum open yearround to anyone from the public who wants to dig fossils. The facility is scheduled to open in 2020, along with a na-
ture trail and dinosaur-themed playground. In the meantime, the Edelman Fossil Park is whetting the public’s appetite with events like the Community Dig Day, held each September. During dig days, some 1,300 people flock to the fossil site to try their hand at paleontology. This year’s community dig will be held Sept. 23, and Heather expects the usual high demand for tickets. “It will sell out in minutes,” she predicted. “There’s a huge unmet demand for this kind of authentic experience for families,” she added. “You don’t get much more authentic than being able to dig for fossils on your own.” One advantage of the Rowan University site is that the digging is easy. Unlike some fossil-rich areas where prehistoric remains are encased in rock, New Jersey’s Inner Coastal Plain region offers soft, sandy soil known locally as greensand or marl. “Consider this: What we’ve got here is a 65 million year old beach,” said Heather. “Pretty much anyone willing to get their hands dirty will find something.” Sixty-five million years ago, Mantua Township - along with the rest of southern New Jersey - was at the bottom of a shallow sea populated by giant crocodiles, sea turtles and swimming reptiles like mosasaurs. On nearby land were dinosaurs, which occasionally died and were washed out to sea.
Over time the sea receded, leaving the remains of many sea creatures and some land dinosaurs. The world’s first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton - a Hadrosaurus - was discovered in 1858 in nearby Haddonfield. Mosasaurs, described as giant swimming Komodo dragons, were first discovered at the former Inversand quarry now the Edelman Fossil Park - in 1961. They’re still being found today by paleontologists working in the research section of the fossil park. “A lot of people don’t realize that South Jersey is the original home of dinosaur paleontology in New Jersey,” said Heather. To find out more about the Edelman Fossil Park and New Jersey’s fossil history, go to the Rowan University website at www.rowan.edu/fossils. Anyone interested in attending events at the Edelman Fossil Park should click on the “Learn More” link and complete the online form to get on the fossil park’s email list. Those receiving Rowan’s emails will get links to registration for high-demand events like the community fossil dig and Geo Explorers camp.

COLLEGE CONNECTION By Susan Alaimo
What to say when asked, ‘Tell me about yourself’ A Harvard university junior gained a lot of attention for being offered internships with some of the most sought after companies: Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. When asked the secrets of her success, she claimed that being prepared for interview questions was very important. To one of the most common questions, “What would you like to tell me about yourself,” she offered some guidelines. She recommended that students start off with a brief introduction including their name, college, and field of study. Next, students should mention a few of their accomplishments of which they are most proud. Lastly, students should state the reasons they want to work at the particular company and share the talents and skills they possess that would be relevant for the position they are seeking. Basically, the interviewee should
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Heroin is a problem in schools that needs to be stopped To the editor:
I believe Hillsborough needs to take more steps towards stopping heroin abuse. Heroin has been spreading rapidly in the high school. While the police recently came to the high school to search for heroin, they found nothing. There are still clearly heroin abusers, who just stash their drugs at other locations. Many people were also alerted of the search ahead of time from children of the police officers. Harsher steps need to be taken to stop the spreading of this very dangerous drug. People can’t know about the checks ahead of time. Heroin is a serious problem, and is one of the most dangerous drugs anyone could ever use. If this is not handled quickly, heroin will only spread more, even beginning to enter the middle school. In conclusion, I believe heroin is the largest threat to our community at the moment, and these searches need to be more thorough, more frequent, and more spontaneous if we want to truly lessen the amount of abuse.

let the interviewer know how the company would benefit from having him/her onboard. Students should always plan exactly what they will say when asked the most common interview questions. This is vital, whether interviewing with a prospective college, or with a company for an internship or full time job. What are some of the most frequently asked questions? According to Glassdoor.com, a popular jobs and recruiting site, interviewees should be prepared to answer: What are your strengths and weaknesses? Why are you interested in working here? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? What can you offer us that someone else cannot? Tell me about an accomplishment you are most proud of. Tell me about a time you made a mistake. What is your dream job? At an interview with a college admissions officer, a stu-
dents might likely be asked why they think the college is a “good fit” and what attributes they would bring to the campus. By preparing their answers well in advance, and practicing their delivery skills - either in front of a mirror or to a friend or family member - students will enter their interviews feeling well prepared and confident and have the best chance of a successful outcome.

Princeton University Art Museum is hosting a major exhibit of drawings from the Ashmolean Museum By Anthony Stoeckert Images courtesy of the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford
rinceton University Art Museum’s exhibit “Great British Drawings from the Ashmolean Museum” is not only an opportunity to see more than 100 drawings and watercolors from a renowned collection, it is a history lesson on Britain itself. The Ashmolean is the museum of the University of Oxford, and was the first university museum. The PUAM exhibition marks the show’s only international appearance of works from the 17th to the 20th centuries, and is on view through Sept. 17. Featured in the show, which is a must-visit for any art lover, are landscapes, still lifes, narrative scenes and book illustrations. “This exceptional selection of over 100 masterpieces on paper from one of the world’s oldest public museums — the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford — celebrates the diversity of techniques and media used by British artists since the 17th century to the present in creating drawings, which range from preliminary pencil sketches to highly finished watercolors,” says Laura M. Giles, curator of prints and drawings for Princeton University Art Museum. The works in the exhibit were chosen by Colin Harrison, the Ashmolean’s senior curator of European art. Giles is the guest-curator for PUAM in hosting the exhibit. Giles says the four chronological and thematic sections “cast a compelling lens on British art, history, and culture. “While there is an emphasis on portraits and landscapes, many of the works evoke a strong literary impulse, as in the medieval narratives of the PreRaphaelite painters such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, or in the visionary illustrations of the Bible and Dante’s “Divine Comedy” by poet-artist William Blake,” she says. “Breathtaking atmospheric watercolors by the romantic genius JMW Turner are showcased, as well as outstanding works by lesser-known artists such as Rossetti’s short-lived muse Elizabeth Siddal and the war artist David Bomberg.” One of the works in the first section is a portrait of Thomas Alcock by Samuel Cooper from around 1650. Cooper was an important portraitist whose clients included Oliver Cromwell and King Charles II. The drawing of Alcock, of whom not much is known, is one of the few works by Cooper to survive. Also featured in this section is a portrait of TanChe-Qua (or Chitqua) by Charles Grignion. TanChe-Qua was a Cantonese artist, and one of the first Chinese visitors to England. He stayed in London from 1769 to 1772, and his visit was major news and included an audience with King George III. Two paintings by William Blake illustrate why the poet was also known for his art. The works are “The Baptism of Christ” from 1803 and “The Deity from whom proceed the Nine Spheres,” which was an illustration to Dante’s “Divine Comedy.” The Travel and Topography section includes George Augustus Wallis’ “The Ruins of Selinunte,” from about 1792. It shows the remains of the ancient Greek city on the cost of Sicily. Wallis spent much of his time in Italy, painting landscapes he sold to British clients. A smaller-scale ruin is depicted by John Sell Cotman’s “A Ruined House” (1807-10). Cotman was a landscape artist who often depicted ruins. This dreamy work shows a simple abandoned house in front of a gray sky. Joseph Mallord William Turner’s “Inside View of the Hall of Christ Church, Oxford” (painted in 1803-04) captures the majesty of the hall with its elaborate ceilings, paintings on the wall and grand stained glass windows. Nearby is another work by Turner, “Christ Church, Oxford” which depicts a very different scene, the streets outside the church, including the demolition of an almshouse. “Christ Church College, Oxford (1832-33) goes beyond a careful rendition of local architectural

landmark to capture a lively demolition scene occurring across the street, while the distant horizon dissolves in a dazzling golden haze, created by Turner’s subtle mixture of transparent and opaque watercolors,” Giles says. Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “Dante Drawing an Angel on the Anniversary of Beatrice’s Death,” from 1853 is included in the pre-Raphaelites section. It’s a stunning work depicting Dante on his knees in a darkened room. Colorful ink bottles are on his desk, the sea can be viewed out his window, and to the left is a door leading to an inviting yard. Rossetti translated a work by Dante, “La Vita Nuova” and depicted the scene for the book. “Rossetti spent over a year on this large, elaborate, and meticulously detailed watercolor, which depicts a scene in which the 13th-century Florentine poet Dante Alighieri ponders the first anniversary of the death of his beloved Beatrice,” Giles says. Ben Nicholson’s “View of the Harbor at St. Ives” (1928-29) is linear in its precision, with perfect bricks
and raindrops whose placements seem geometric. In the forefront is the artist’s desk, decorated wth a bowl, vase and artist tools. It is realistic but also surreal, almost comic bookish. Austin Osman Spare “A Dressing Station” from 1919 is a powerful World War I scene. In it three wounded, war-weary men lay in bunks as an orderly holds a jar of chloroform. Spare created the work while he was assigned to depict the harsh realities of the front during the war’s end. Wall text explains that the work is a departure from his typical work, which “abound in abstrusely mystical themes and sexual imagery.”
“Great British Drawings from the Ashmolean Museum” is on view at the Princeton University Art Museum on the Princeton University campus, through Sept. 17. Hours: Tues.-Wed, Fri.-Sat. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thurs. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sun. 1-5 p.m. Admission is free; artmuseum.princeton.edu; 609-258-3788.

By Anthony Stoeckert
Love, Song and Gamblers The Bucks County Playhouse is bringing ‘Guys and Dolls’ to New Hope teve Rosen’s first experience with “Guys and Dolls” came when he was sitting in the audience as his brother played Nicely Nicely Johnson in a high school production of the legendary musical. Actually, he was a member of several audiences.”I was a theater-obsessed kid so I went to every single performance, to the point where I could recite the show from the beginning, because I loved it so much,” Rosen says. Rosen went on to become an actor, and appeared in “Guys and Dolls” on Broadway, playing Benny Southstreet in the 2009 revival of the quintessential New York musical. He then played Nathan Detroit in a tour of the show, and now he’s preparing to play Nathan again as the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania, is staging “Guys and Dolls,” July 21 through Aug. 12. “Guys and Dolls” is simply one of the all-time great musicals, opening on Broadway in 1950, running for 1,200 performances and winning five Tony Awards. There were revivals in 1976 (featuring a black cast and Motown-style arrangements), 1992, and 2009. It’s also had several runs in London and countless regional and community productions. Based on stories written by Damon Runyon, “Guys and Dolls” is a about love and gamblers in Manhattan. Nathan runs a floating crap game and has chance to make some big money because “there are well-healed shooters” in town. But the police are cracking down on gambling, and the only place willing to host Nathan’s game is charging $1,000. Nathan bets Sky Masterson (Clarke Thorell) that Sky can’t get the pious Sister Sarah Brown (Elena Shaddow) to go on a date with him. Meanwhile, Nathan is trying to keep Miss Adelaide, his fiancee of 14 years, happy without actually marrying her. The show is a pure crowd pleaser with legendary songs (“I’ll Know,” “A Bushel and a Peck,” “If I Were a Bell,” “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the
Boat”) and some very funny scenes. “It’s one of the most well written musicals in that the scenes flow effortlessly from one to another,” Rosen says. “And Nathan is in a lot of them, relaying a lot of information, so the character has a lot of balls up in the air. And fortunately the people I get to pay catch with are all talented and hilarious in their own right.” The cast includes actors with a lot of Broadway credits. Shaddow was in “The Bridges of Madison County” and “The Visit.” Thorell was in the recent revival of “The Front Page” and the 2012 revival of “Annie.” Lesli Margherita, who plays Miss Adelaide, was in “Matilda” and “Dames at Sea.” “What’s really exciting is that I get to work with many of dear friends on this show,” Rosen says. “I’ve worked with many of the people in the company and the people that I haven’t worked with, I’m a huge fan of. So I’m super-excited to get to play this part with these people. Hunter Foster is directing the production. Foster is a regular at the playhouse, and is helming four shows there this year (he’s already directed “Clue” and “Buddy” and is set to bring “Rock and Roll Man: The Alan Freed Story” to New Hope in the fall). Foster says he’s particularly excited about the cast for this production of “Guys and Dolls.” “When I tell people about the cast, they say, ‘Wow, you could open on Broadway with those people,’” Foster says. “We’re blessed to have this talent, and lot of them are friends of mine that I’ve worked with, so it’s actually a joy to be in the room with these people. I don’t know how we’re going to get anything done because we’re going to be laughing and chatting.” Foster says he jumped at the chance to direct “Guys and Dolls” when the opportunity came up. “It’s one of those sort of perfect shows in a lot of ways,” he says. “It’s so well written and crafted so well, and so funny. That’s the thing, some of these lines are brilliantly
Steve Rosen is set to play Nathan Detroit when “Guys and Dolls” is performed at the Bucks County Playhouse. funny. So it’s a treat and it’s like you don’t have to work too hard because it’s all there for you. And it’s wonderful, too, to do a classic like this.” This show marks a rare production of a big, old-fashioned musical for the playhouse, which often presents new musicals. “Guys and Dolls” will feature 19 performers, Bucks County Playhouse’s largest cast since it opened under its current management in 2012. “It’s a big musical with tons of costumes and lots of actors and a band,” Foster says. “So in terms of all of that put together, I think it is definitely the largest production they’ve done there. It’s a challenge but we’re excited to make it work.” Staging one of the all-time great shows also presents a challenge in that Foster wants to do it his way while also respecting all the things that make it a classic. “Every time I direct a show, I want to do my own interpretation of it,” he says. “I don‘t want to do what Jerry Saks [who directed the smash 1992 revival] did or whoever has done it before. I didn’t want to put some concept on it or upset the world that Runyon has already created.” But he does see opportunities within the show’s structure to bring his own style to “Guys and Dolls.” One thing he wants to do is keep the show moving in cinematic ways. “It’s not like scene, blackout, scene, blackout,” he says. “I want everything to move, the action always continues no matter what, which is something I always put in my shows. We also want to explore. Today we have a rehearsal with Sarah and Sky, and we want to find depth for these characters as well. We don’t them to be two-dimensional or to be just sort of stock musical theater [characters]. I don’t want this to be a bunch of cartoons on stage, I want them to be real people that have real issues. “And also explore the idea of love. There’s something romantic about ‘Guys and Dolls’ and there’s something about love between Sky and Sarah and Adelaide and
Nathan that’s real and I want to explore all of those things. In that sort of exploration, these new and wonderful things will come out and it will be our own interpretation of this show.” Foster says he’s particularly drawn to the Sky-Sarah story and that those characters’ ballads, “My Time of Day” and “I’ll Know” are some of his favorites, though they aren’t as well known as show stoppers like “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat.” “Those sort of romantic songs, the lyrics and music are so beautiful,” he says. “I just love the exploration of those two characters. I think a lot of times, Nathan and Adelaide become the sort of main focus of the show and I just love the Sky and Sarah story, and I want it to be as prominent.” In addition to the performers, Foster says he’s excited to be working with choreographer Jeremy Dumont. “He’s from Forth Worth, Texas,” Foster says. “I worked with him in ‘Spamalot,’ we did it a couple of years ago, he’s a really exciting choreographer, I’m really excited about him.” “Guys and Dolls” has been entertaining audiences for so long that it can look effortless, but it takes a lot of work to make it look easy. In addition to singing and dancing, performers in the show have to be adept at comedy, and talk in “Runyon-esque” language. “The rhythm of that is almost like music, so learning the lines of this show and the themes is like learning the music, it feels so good when you get to say it,” Rosen says. “I think because people enjoy it so much, it’s deceptively difficult to learn everything, but once the audience is there, enjoying it, it becomes the most fun to do.”
“Guys and Dolls” will be performed at the Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, July 21 through Aug. 12. Tickets cost $45-$75; buckscountyplayhouse.org; 215-862-2121.

STAGE REVIEW By Bob Brown
‘The Bungler’ at the Shakespeare Theatre
S
ummer deserves a perfectly bubbly, silly comedy like Moliélre’s “The Bungler,” now at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s F. M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre in Madison through July 20. Known for his biting satires, Moliélre has been frequently staged in modern translations. “The Misanthrope,” “The School for Wives,”“Tartuffe” and “The Miser” are all familiar in English versions. The best of these are by poet/translator Richard Wilbur, whose light-hearted rhymed verse sparkles. Wilbur is at it again in one of the French master’s lesser-known plays. So seldom is “The Bungler” performed that even veteran director Brian B. Crowe, who directed Molière’s “The Learned Ladies” on the Shakespeare Theatre’s outdoor stage a few years ago, did not know of it. Why it has suffered neglect is unclear. Perhaps it’s because it was Moliélre’s first full-length play, produced before he had hit his stride as a brilliant social satirist. While it lacks the pointed satirical elements of his later works, the play is a testament to Molière’s comic genius. “The Bungler” borrows freely from the tropes and characters of the Italian commedia dell’arte, but it is a prelude to what the playwright went on to create in his more sophisticated works. The premise starts out simply enough. In the town square of Messina, the lovelorn young Lélie (Aaron McDaniel) wants to win the hand of the Gypsy slave-girl Célie (Sophia Blum), who is also being wooed by a rival, Léandre (Sam Ashdown). Lacking romantic skills, Lélie asks his valet, Mascarille (Kevin Isola), “the most glorious trickster in town,” to come up with schemes that will get the girl. Many involve getting money. In the first of several ruses, Mascarille pretends he needs Célie’s advice in an attempt to free her from her master, the miserly Trufaldin (Eric Hoffmann). When she responds in code to disguise their purpose, Lélie bursts in and naively

Trufaldin pulls her back into his house, while Mascarille, frustrated, stews over what to do next, and how to keep Lélie from screwing it up. Mascarille is determined to preserve his reputation as a brilliant trickster. Being loyal to his flat-footed master, he prides himself on coming up with devious tricks, at least a half dozen others, each more outlandish than the last. One involves Anselme (James Michael Reilly), a foppish, vainglorious old money-lender. Mascarille convinces Anselme that a certain Nerine lusts after him. The money to set the wheels of love in motion changes hands and back again as Lélie barges in and can’t help botching the job. Another complication is Anselme’s daughter, Hippolyte (Devin Conway), who is also in love with Léandre but who is promised to Lélie by Pandolfe (Drew Dix), Lélie’s father. Mascarille layers scheme upon scheme, pitting party
against party in plots so complex that the original plan — to join Lélie and Célie — is almost lost in the weeds. In the final scheme, Mascarille disguises himself as a Swiss innkeeper, trying to thwart the plans of a mysterious Gypsy, Andrès (Danilo Ottaviani), who has just bought Célie. Of course, Lélie spills the beans and ruins things for once and for all — or so it seems. Improbability is the engine of this delirious romp. All of the performances and the direction are sublime. To name just a few, McDaniel’s Lélie is the perfectly dimwitted nitwit who makes ineptitude an art form. There’s a Buster Keatonish naivete to him — bumping into walls and tripping over his own coattails. Reilly and Conway, hilarious as Anselme and his carbon-copy daughter, are like exotic pink birds, strutting and mincing in their overwrought finery. His feathered headgear looks ready to take off. Her hair is piled up like cotton candy gone berserk. As the hyperkinetic Mascarille, Isola is the heart of this production. He gets an electric jolt from each idea that pops into his head. His master’s bungling only fuels his kinetic energy, as he’s determined to make the next scheme work. In the tradition of the commedia, his asides to the audience and some sly ad-libs are part of the fun. The costumes by Paul Canada and sets by Dick Block — equally inspired — work together in a rainbow of surreal colors and cartoonish surfaces. It’s a fitting funhouse universe for these characters to inhabit. The Bungler’s broad humor and dizzying array of stratagems make for giddy, non-stop action that will leave you helpless with laughter.

LOOSE ENDS
Pam Hersh
She has some stories to tell For Maria LoBiondo, telling tales creates connections that modern technology can’t When I met Princeton storyteller Maria LoBiondo 30 years ago, she was known around town for her ability to write, rather than tell, a good story. Now sought-after for her folk, fairytale, and Italian-heritage story presentations, LoBiondo — once upon a time long ago — was writing real news stories as a staff writer and editor for The Princeton Packet. A memorable story, according to LoBiondo, whether written or spoken, real or fantasy, has to do with its ability to connect. “Stories create a world of their own, one that my listeners and I invent together,” said LoBiondo, who works as the editorial coordinator for the Princeton University Office of Development. “With the story’s wisdom, our imaginations, and the magic of the moment, we make a place inside ourselves where we can indeed feel the spirit of happily ever after.” It’s the people listening to her who help make the stories come alive. They use their creative imaginations . . . and their hearts to absorb the story and make that particular connection,” LoBiondo said. She has been telling stories for community organizations throughout the Princeton area for the past 20 years. Her love of fairy, folk, and “wisdom tales” has been life-long. Her bachelor’s degree in education from Boston College, followed by years as a preschool teacher, deepened her appreciation for the storytelling art form. LoBiondo has told stories to children in elementary classrooms and library settings and to adults at several “Tellabrations,” the annual event organized in conjunction with the National Storytelling Association, and as a member of the Princeton Storytelling Circle. I recently observed LoBiondo’s magic among about 50 people who convened at Dorothea’s House, Princeton’s Italian-American cultural institution, which provides programs and events that connect Princeton to its
Princeton storyteller Maria LoBiondo, and her husband, Charles Stile. Italian heritage.What struck me as particularly remarkable was not only the way LoBiondo’s stories connected with the audience, but also how the stories connected audience members with one another. No one grabbed for a cell phone during the program, or after it. People actually talked without a keyboard or an app, moved out of their silos, and shared their own sto-
ries that were triggered by the stories Maria had just told. “We have very few communal moments,” LoBiondo said. “The oral tradition creates that common connection — to one another in the present as well as to those from the past.” Maria got the inspiration to embrace storytelling as an avocation, because she was able to connect — in
person — with renowned Princeton storyteller, Susan Danoff. When LoBiondo was the Packet’s lifestyle editor, Danoff would come into the newsroom to drop off press releases about her classes and programs, particularly about the week-long storytelling seminar. It was the pre-email era, when face-to-face communication was more common. Maria was very familiar with Susan’s storied storytelling career in Princeton. “I told her how much I wanted to enroll in the one-week seminar, so many people raved about it,” LoBiondo said. “But the time commitment was impossible for me. I was working, had a toddler [Nicholas] and was pregnant with my second child [Natalie]. “I asked if she would consider doing a class just once a week — and she agreed to do so. I was very determined to take the class, my nine-month pregnancy was no deterrent. . . Every minute of the class was meaningful for me.” LoBiondo gave birth to her daughter at about the same time she gave birth to her new avocation. And both her son and daughter gave her ample opportunity to practice her craft. “I do not write my own stories, but they are my versions,” she said. “In the oral tradition, there is no one definitive version, the storyteller can pick and choose and form the story to fit his or her personality. The structure of the original story is there however.” One story Maria rarely tells on stage is a tale in which she played a leading role, and I witnessed unfolding in the Packet newsroom. It is the story of a real connection between two Packet reporters with very different personalities but with a common core of decency, wisdom, and joyfulness. It’s the story of how Maria LoBiondo and now renowned New Jersey Statehouse reporter/columnist Charles Stile became an item and then husband and wife, with each chapter better than the last.
Piano prodigy to perform benefit concert Sixteen-year-old Charlie Liu will play a concert for Rescue Music Foundation Charlie Liu of Plainsboro will give a solo recital, July 22 at 7 p.m. in Channing Hall of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, 50 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton. The concert will feature Liu’s International Piano Competition repertoire along with select pieces from his CD, “Live, Dream, Love,” with an extensive selection of compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, and others. All proceeds will go to benefit Liu’s “Rescue Music Foundation,” whose mission is to provide financial help and guidance to allow more young musicians to use their talent to spread their love of music, inspire and give back to the community. Liu, 16, started playing piano when he was 4, and has been studying with Professor Ingrid Clarfield of Westminster Choir College of Rider University since 2007. He is the only pianist to have won every prize awarded in the same Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition. He also won first prize in the David Dubois Piano Competition and Thousand Islands International Piano Competition; second prize in the MostArts Festival and Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition; and third prize in the Yamaha USASU International Piano Competition. A seven-time first-place winner in the New Jersey and Massachusetts Music Teacher Associations, Liu also has soloed with orchestras in four different states. When he was 11, Liu made his orchestra debut with the Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra. He has since soloed with the MostArts Festival Orchestra, the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra, twice with the Midwest Young Artists Orchestra in the Millennium Park in Chicago and soon to perform with the Ambler Symphony Orchestra. He has been invited to perform on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Oprah Winfrey Show, as well as for luminaries such as Queen Rania of Jordan, Bono of U2, Hugh Jackman, among others. Since age 7, Liu has participated in

Maintain sparkling clear pool water Swimming weather is something to enjoy. But for pool owners, few things are more of a headache than wanting to jump into the pool only to find that the water is cloudy, green and uninviting. Clean pools are safe, and that safety requires periodic maintenance. Homeowners may need to periodically revisit poolwater chemistry and cleaning techniques in order to maintain clean, healthy and safe pools. Disinfectant levels Maintaining a satisfactory level of disinfectant will help prevent the multiplication of bacteria and algae in the pool. Many pools are kept clean through the use of chlorine products. The ratio of chlorine to water needed to maintain the clarity of the water depends on the size of the pool, the sanitizer used, weather, sunlight and evaporation, and the pH. In many instances, the avail-
has fallen into the water and sunk, which can decompose and contribute to water cloudiness.
able free chlorine in a pool when tested should be between 3 and 4 ppm to offer adequate sanitation. Frequent testing will help pool owners gauge how well the pool water is holding chlorine and how to compensate if extra is needed.
Maintain pH Maintaining the proper chemical balance of pool water will help keep it clean and protect system components from damage. The pH level of pool water measures its acidity or alkalinity. The pH level should be between 7.4 and 7.6 for best results. Latham PoolProducts says water that is too acidic can cause eye and skin irritation and damage liners or equipment with corrosion. High pH may cause cloudy water and make chlorine less active. Again, frequent testing helps pool owners understand their water chemistry better and make adjustments.
Brushing/vacuuming Nearly every pool owner has had to deal with algae at some point. One of the best ways to minimize algae spores in the pool besides high-sanitation levels is through routine brushing and vacuuming. According to Leslie’s Pool Supplies, pool walls, floors and steps are the most common places to find algae in a pool. If left untreated, algae can burrow roots inside the cracks on those surfaces, making them very difficult to remove. That’s why weekly (or more frequent) brushing and vacuuming can help keep surfaces clean and algae-free. Vacuuming also helps remove debris that
Filtration For cleanliness, water
circulation and filtration is essential. This helps spread the chemicals to all areas of the pool and also helps to remove debris. Filters come in different types, including sand, diatomaceous earth, or DE, and cartridge. Each has its pros and cons. How long to run the filter depends on water temperature, gallons of water in the pool and the estimated water turnover rate of the filter. Pool owners can start with longer filter run times and gradually cut down until they find the right rate based on water appearance, according to popular pool forum Trouble Free Pools. Pools can be great places to spend warm, sunny days. With care, pools can remain clean and clear throughout warm weather seasons. — Metro Creative Connection
Routine testing helps pool owners stay on top of sanitation and pH levels to keep pool water optimal.
Stop making these common grilling mistakes
try can cause flavorful juices to leak out. Then you’re left with dried-out food. Resist any urges to prod and poke food. And minimize how many times you lift the grill cover to take a peek, as that can cause temperatures to fluctuate. Use a thermometer to determine when food is done. And don’t forget that meat will still cook a bit after it’s taken off the grill.
Outdoor grills are everywhere, including nearly every backyard across the country. The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association says $1.47 billion in grill sales were made in 2016. That grills are so commonplace doesn’t mean everyone is employing the right grilling techniques. Becoming the ultimate grill master involves understanding the subtleties of grilling and avoiding these common mistakes so food can look and taste that much better.

Frequent cleaning also helps grill masters avoid a tiresome cleaning process at the start of the season. Forgetting to preheat: Preheating the grill ensures that foods will cook quickly and as evenly as possible. Otherwise, meats can lose moisture and even stick to cooler grates.

Preventing colorectal cancer
When it comes to preventing colorectal cancer, there are certain risk factors, such as aging, that are beyond your control. But there are also many steps you can take to help protect against the disease and reduce your risk, including getting a colonoscopy. Colorectal cancer is the third-most common cancer affecting both men and women, with about 95,000 new cases a year, according to the American Cancer Society. However, a colonoscopy can save lives by detecting and removing abnormal growths before they turn cancerous. At University Medical Center of Princeton, the Direct Access Colonoscopy program helps speed the process of scheduling a routine screening colonoscopy for certain patients ages 50 and over.
Risk factors While an increasing number of colorectal cancer cases are occurring in younger adults, more than
90 percent of cases occur in people who are 50 years old or older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition to age, other risk factors for colorectal cancer include: • Family history of colorectal cancer • Personal history • Inflammatory bowel disease • Alcohol • Cigarette smoking • Obesity Further, many studies have found a link between red meat or processed meats and increased colorectal cancer risk. Polyps a precursor Almost all colorectal cancers begin as precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum. These polyps are normally slow growing and typically take between 10 and 15 years to turn into cancer. Polyps and early-stage colon cancer often do not have any symptoms, which means you may have them and not even know it.
If symptoms do occur, they may include: • Blood in or on your stool • Stomach pain, aches or cramps that don’t go away • Losing weight for unknown reasons • Diarrhea or constipation • A feeling that your bowel does not empty completely • Stools that are narrower than usual • Fatigue • Nausea or vomiting If you experience any of these symptoms, which can be associated with a wide range of medical conditions, see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Regular screening saves lives Overall, as the CDC notes, the most effective way to reduce your risk for colorectal cancer is by having regular cancer screening tests beginning at age 50 for average risk individuals. And though there are several screening methods to detect cancer once it de-
Dr. Anish Sheth velops, colonoscopy is known as the gold standard, being the only method that can prevent the disease before it starts. During a colonoscopy, doctors use a small, flexible, high-definition scope inserted into the rectum to view the entire large intestine and find and remove any polyps that are detected. The safe and painless procedure takes about 20 minutes and is performed while the patient is under light sedation. Prior to the procedure,
most patients must prepare by drinking a prescribed liquid to cleanse the colon and ensure that the bowel is clean of stool and other residue. This “prep” is an important part of the procedure, as it allows for complete visualization of the colon during the colonoscopy. Once the test is complete, patients are able to return home and resume their normal activities and diet. (Because of the sedation patients should not drive until the next morning.) Before having a colonoscopy, patients should talk with their gastroenterologist about their rate of polyp detection and the average time they spend withdrawing the camera. These can be indicators of thoroughness of the procedure. Lower your risk In addition to regular screening, there are other steps you can take to help prevent colorectal cancer, including: Maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight and especially carrying more weight around your middle, increases the risk for colorectal cancer. Staying a healthy weight and reducing belly fat may help lower your risk. Exercising. Regular moderate physical activity can lower your risk. Want greater benefits? Increase the amount and intensity of your physical activity. Eating your vegetables. Though it is unclear why, diets high in vegetables,
fruits and whole grains and low in red and processed meats have been linked with lower colorectal cancer risk. Putting down your glass. Excessive alcohol use increases the risk for colorectal cancer, especially among men. If you drink, limit your alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day for women and two for men. Kicking the habit. Quitting smoking can help reduce your risk for colorectal and other cancers. Looking before you flush. Your bowel movements can tell you a lot about your colon health. Pay attention to any changes and talk to your doctor if you notice anything unusual. UMCP has recently opened the Center for Digestive Health, giving patients streamlined access to high-quality, coordinated care that encompasses everything from general gastroenterology services to specialized diagnostic and treatment procedures. To schedule a colonoscopy through the UMCP Direct Access Colonoscopy program, call 609-853-7510. To find a gastroenterologist with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7496.

Q
. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.
Q
. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.
Q
. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of
their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.
Q
. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.
Q Q
. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.
. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
