Community comes together against hate-fueled clashes Faith leaders espouse message of love in the wake of Charlottesville

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Aiming to send a message that hate-filled events such as those that happened in Charlottesville, Va. last weekend will not be tolerated, more than 100 people turned out Tuesday night for a community vigil for peace at the Hopewell United Methodist Church in Hopewell Borough.

The Community Peace Vigil was sponsored by the Hopewell Council of Churches in response to the clash between white supremacists and counter-protesters in the Virginia college town that left three people dead - a counterprotester and two Virginia State Troopers - three days earlier.

A trio of guitarists - Paul Garrison, Chris Pauley and Ken Fredeen - set the tone for the vigil as they played Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind,” which became the unofficial anthem of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.

The Rev. Kate Hillis, pastor of the Hopewell United Methodist Church, welcomed the attendees, many of whom had traveled from Princeton, Lawrence and West

Following deadly clashes between alt-right protesters and left-leaning counterprotesters in Charlottesville, Va. over the weekend, a large crowd gathered at the Hopewell United Methodist Church to spread a message of love and cooperation.

Although the Rev. Dennis O’Neill of Calvary Baptist Church could not attend, Peterson read the remarks that he had prepared in advance.

Rev. O’Neill said he was thinking about Heather Heyer, who was killed when a car, allegedly driven by a white supremacist, plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters. He said he was thinking of her grief-stricken family, and wondered what “redemptive healing” could come out of it.

“Perhaps, it has been the gathering of friends and neighbors across the country, like here in Hopewell tonight, who have joined together to speak out against such hatred and to laud peace and unity,” O’Neill said in his prepared remarks.

Rev. O’Neill encouraged attendees to reach out to others, to listen to them - “even if you don’t agree with them” - and try to find common ground. It will make everyone stronger, he said.

Rev. Hillis said the violence over the weekend was not an isolated incident, nor was it some-

Windsor to show their support for peace.

“Tonight, the community comes together to stand for peace, love and hope after the events over the weekend around the world and in Charlottesville, Va.

As a community of faith, we grieve together,” Rev. Hillis said as she welcomed the crowd.

Cathy Peterson, who chairs the Hopewell Council of Churches, said cries for peace have been raised since the beginning of time.

Quoting Chinese philosopher Lao-tse, Peterson said that “if there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities.”

Hopewell Borough.

The ordinance will not allow a pet store to “sell, deliver, offer for sale, barter, auction, give away or otherwise transfer or dispose of cats or dogs.”

The ordinance does not ban consumers from acquiring animals from an animal shelter or animal rescue group, or from hobby breeders where they can see the conditions under which the puppies and kittens are bred.

Several proponents of the ordinance appeared at Borough Council’s Aug. 3 meeting to show their

support for it.

Larry Cohen, who lives in Fanwood and who represented the Humane Society of the United States, thanked the Borough Council for adopting the ordinance and joining 106 New Jersey towns that have done so.

“From our perspective, we think you are doing the right thing,” Cohen told Borough Council.

Hamilton Township resident Ellen Coyote also thanked the council for adopting the ordinance. She said the puppy mill op-

erators are “unscrupulous” and lie to customers about the puppies and kittens, some of who are sick.

“I can’t believe what is allowed to go on. They outright lie (to consumers) when they get their dogs. People buy sick puppies and have to spend money to treat their health problems,” Coyote said.

The ordinance that was adopted is based on a model ordinance prepared by NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills. It has been lobbying towns since 2015 to adopt an ordinance that bans pet stores from sourcing puppies and

kittens from puppy mills.

NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills believes the ordinance will encourage people to adopt dogs and cats from shelters and nonprofit animal rescue groups, thus preventing them from being euthanized.

About 21,000 dogs and cats are killed each year in New Jersey, according to NJ Residents Against Puppy Mills. Nationwide, more than 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized, according to the Humane Society of the United States.

itself. Enrollment fell, such that it could count on having only 19 to 21 students to begin the school year, and there were other financial problems that could not be overcome. The school, which had been in Princeton for more than half a century before moving, was most recently was a tenant at Rambling Pines Summer Day Camp, in Hopewell.

“On Monday evening, after a second extended meeting in as many nights, the Board of Trustees decided that the school cannot be opened this fall,” he

wrote. “We will proceed to wind down operations as soon as practicable, return all tuition deposits, notify Rambling Pines that ABS will not renew its lease, address the impact on our staff and students, and cancel all concert commitments.”

American Boychoir was set to begin its 80th season, for boys in grades four to eight. The school, originally founded in Ohio in 1937, moved to Princeton 13 years later. On its Facebook page, it describes itself as “the only nonsectarian boys’ choir school in the

nation.”

But it was rocked by scandal in the early 2000s amid allegations by former students who claimed to be sexually abused during their time there. Selling its Princeton property “Albermarle,” American Boychoir moved first to Plainsboro in 2012 and more recently to Rambling Pines for the past two academic years.

Earlier this month, the school had announced it was having auditions, including one on Aug. 21.

And in June, D’Avanzo was touting how the school would be

going on tour, including performing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

But in his message, D’Avanzo pointed to a surprising drop in enrollment.

“In addition, at that level of enrollment, the amount of tuition we can expect to collect, after taking into account substantial grants of need-based financial aid, would be sharply lower than we had anticipated,” he wrote. “Even with the continued generous support of the ABS community, the antici-

Officials formally take stance against ‘puppy mills’

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Hopewell Borough has joined the growing list of towns that do not allow pet stores to sell puppies and kittens that were acquired from so-called “puppy mills,” or large-scale commercial breeders.

Hopewell Borough Council unanimously adopted an ordinance that would allow a pet store to sell puppies and kittens - but only if they came from an animal shelter or an animal rescue group.

Swan song: American Boychoir School to close its doors

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The American Boychoir School has sung its final tune, as school officials this week decide to close a school that had sought bankruptcy protection as recently as two years ago in an ultimately failed attempt to keep itself going.

In a message posted at the school Internet home page, Robert D’Avanzo, the chairman of the American Boychoir board of trustees, explained Tuesday the plight in which the school found

thing “we can afford to look away from, because it didn’t happen in our community - this time.”

“Many egregious and violent acts of hate have often been done in the name of God. And as a pastor in this town, you need to know that I am not okay with it and I will not be silent on issues of injustice,” Rev. Hillis said.

Rev. Hillis said a friend reminded her that people only get better when they know what they stand for not what they stand against. She said she will stand for peace, justice and love in this community, and that she hoped everyone would join her.

Deacon John Buck of Second Calvary Baptist Church told the attendees that “there is nothing to say when you are faced with such evil. If you don’t look back, things will repeat themselves. This is

nothing new - hatred and racism. To deny it is to really add to it.”

Deacon Buck said that as a nation, “we must turn back to God. I love those signs, ‘Hate has no home here.’ I love Hopewell.

This really is a community that loves one another.

This is a small town with a big heart.”

The Rev. George Betz of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church said that last weekend, “we witnessed the worst. When the world is at its worst, it needs people at their best.”

Following the ministers’ remarks, time was set aside for attendees to offer remarks.

Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul Anzano praised everyone for their involvement. He described the weekend’s events as “horrendous,” and said it should not be allowed to spread.

Mic Boekelmann re-

called that when she was in middle school in Germany, a boy picked on her because she was the only Filipino in the class. She said she felt unwanted, and only one student - another girl - stood up for her.

“It is so important to stand up,” Boekelmann said.

Noor Baig, who is a sophomore at the University of Virginia, said Charlottesville should not be viewed in a negative light despite the incident over the weekend. She thanked the church group for organizing the peace vigil.

Then, the attendees each one carrying a lit candle - embarked on a walk for peace up Blackwell Photo by Rich Miller Avenue to East Broad Street and onto Hamilton More than 100 area residents visited the Hopewell United Methodist Church on TuesAvenue and back to the day to hear religious leaders of various faiths speak out against the violent clashes in Charlottesville, Va. that left one activist dead. church.

allow it to finish the school year if it did open. If the school were opened in that position we expect that we would be forced to close it within one or two months.

We cannot do that to our students, to their families, or to our staff.”

Rob Jordan, whose family owns Rambling Pines, said Wednesday that he was notified Tuesday of the school’s decision. He said the news “came as a surprise.”

D’Avanzo could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Messages left

at the school were not returned.

Former Boychoir board member and current Princeton Councilman Tim Quinn had no comment Wednesday.

In the past school year, there were at least seven BoyChoir students from Princeton, said Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane on Wednesday.

“We’re sad to see the school closed,” he said, “and would welcome the students if they chose to come here.”

Local baseball team falls short in American Legion World Series

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A memorable run to an American Legion World Series win came to an end on Sunday, as the Hopewell Post 339 baseball team fell short of advancing to the next round after losing their first two games.

Though the team bested the Lewiston, Idaho ball club with a score of 7-5, its 7-4 loss against the Bryant, Arkansas team on Saturday and the 6-3 loss to the Randolph County, North Carolina team last Thursday effectively ended Hopewell’s chances of moving on to the semi-finals.

The New Jersey team was ultimately eliminated from contention thanks to tiebreakers.

“Certainly, we would have liked to have won it all, but there were some pretty good teams there,” Team Manager Mike Coryell said. “To keep in mind the big picture, I am pretty darn pleased with everything we accomplished this year.”

More than 3,600 baseball teams compete in American Legion Baseball every year, but only eight teams make it to the organization’s World Series.

This year’s pool of teams hailed from Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arkansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, Idaho and Nevada.

This year’s Legion World Series berth marks the third time that a team from the Mercer County American Legion League reached the American Legion World Series, with only Trenton Post 93 Schroths and Hamilton Post 31 having made it as far in previous seasons.

With the original goal for the team being a state championship win, Coryell said he was proud at how far the team surpassed its goal, ultimately ending the season with a 39-11 record.

“Anything after the state was really just so wonderful to think that we could even compete,” he said. “Everything about the world series was fabulous. It’s just so exciting for the kids.”

“On the first night, our team played in front of 8,300 fans,” Coryell continued. “Not a lot of people can say they’ve done that.”

Along with their regionals record, Hopewell Post 339 went 5-3 in the postseason. The team’s postseason leaders in batting average were Cam Cane (.467), Tom Pecora (.400) and Will Karp

(.385). Luke Blair hit two home runs during that stretch, while Cam Cane hit one - both tied for the team’s most runs batted in with nine.

During the postseason, the team had an average earned run average (ERA) of 5.08 and 18 strikeouts.

“Teams like this come along once in a lifetime, really,” Coryell said. “We’ve discussed amongst ourselves that baseball is a funny game. Any given day, you never know what’s going to happen and if we had to do the state competition all over again, who knows if we win - you just never know.”

Looking forward, Coryell said he was trying to stay reasonably realistic with their chances to return next year, though that does not mean they won’t try.

“The team we have coming back next year will certainly be competitive and I look forward to coaching more baseball,” he said.

“We’ll worry about next year, next year - right now, we’re going to enjoy what we’ve accomplished.”

POLICE BLOTTER

The Hopewell Township Police Department reported the following incidents from July 22 to July 30.

The charges are no more than an accusation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

A pair of 17-year-olds from Levittown, Penn. were taken into police custody just after 9 p.m. on July 22 for alleged possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and speeding.

According to police, the teens were stopped in a 2010 Hyundai on Route 579 by Officer Christopher Vaccarino.

They were allegedly doing 42 mph in a 25 mph zone when the traffic stop took place.

While speaking with the driver, police said Vaccarino found the two to be in possession of marijuana, marijuana paste and related drug paraphernalia. They were subsequently placed under arrest, processed at police headquarters and released pending a family court appearance. *** A 35-year-old man from Philadelphia was taken into police custody for an outstanding warrant out for his arrest from Chester County Probation in Pennsylvania.

According to police, the man was stopped in a truck on Route 579 at 1:33 p.m. on July 26 for being in violation of the roadway’s weight limit. While Officer Vincent Amabile spoke with the driver, it was determined that he had an outstanding warrant.

The man was then taken into custody and released after bail was posted. He was also cited with an overweight vehicle violation and having a suspended driver’s license. His

case will be heard in municipal court. *** A 24-year-old Hopewell man was apprehended by police at 2:20 p.m. on July 27 for allegedly driving while intoxicated.

Police said Officer Joseph McNeil stopped a 1999 Mazda near the Pennington Circle for having a headlight out. While speaking with the driver, the officer allegedly smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath and person. After a sobriety test, the driver was placed under arrest and taken to police headquarters.

He was processed and released after being cited for DWI, refusal to submit to breath testing, reckless driving and having an inoperable headlamp. He was released to a family member and his case will be heard in municipal court. *** A 26-year-old Ewing man was taken into custody for his alleged involvement in an identity theft and credit card fraud scheme.

According to police, the man was arrested at 2 p.m. on July 29 after an investigation revealed that he had obtained the personal information of a resident and opened a credit card under their name. Using that credit card, the man then purchased more than $3,400 worth of merchandise over a few months.

Police said the accused gained access to the resident’s information since he was working as a caregiver of a group home on Route 518.

The man was placed under arrest, processed and re-

leased. His case will be reviewed by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office. *** A 30-year-old Lawrenceville man was taken into custody by Sgt. Kevin Zorn just before 11:30 p.m. on July 29 after he was allegedly found in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

According to police, Zorn stopped a 2005 Saturn on Federal City Road for having a headlamp out. While speaking with the driver, the officer could allegedly smell the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A subsequent search found the driver in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

He was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters where he was processed and released. His case will be heard in municipal court. *** Just after 8:30 a.m. on July 30, a 45-year-old Pennington woman was taken into custody for allegedly being in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Police said Sgt. Kevin Zorn stopped a 2013 Cadillac on Wellington Drive for not having a front license plate. While speaking with the driver he allegedly detected the odor of marijuana coming from her vehicle. A subsequent search of her vehicle found her in possession of marijuanam, as well as drug paraphernalia. She was also found to have an active warrant for her arrest out of Millstone Township.

She was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters where she was processed and released. Her case will be heard in municipal court.

A FINAL ARRANGEMENTS DOCUMENT

A will isn’t a good place to express your death and funeral preferences because it is not likely to be read until several weeks after you die, when important decisions have already been made. Without a document that outlines your ďŹ nal decisions, your surviving relatives will be left on their own to make the difďŹ cult decisions surrounding your funeral and burial.

In that case, grief-stricken family members may well choose the most expensive goods and services out of feelings of obligation.

By making your own ďŹ nal arrangements in advance, you can relieve your family of this unnecessary stress and direct them to follow your wishes. A ďŹ nal arrangements document sets forth the necessary details in an accessible and appropriate manner.

Advance funeral planning has been called “a sincere act of love� because it can help ease an emotional burden from those you love.

By recording your wishes, you help guide your survivors, and allow them to spend time supporting each other instead of worrying about what you would have wanted. To learn more about the services we offer, please call 609-737-2900.

IN THE LIBRARIES

Events at the Pennington Public Library include: Author Talk with William E. Schluter: Former New Jersey state senator and vice chair of the State Ethics Commission William E. Schluter will be on hand Sunday, Sept. 24 at 3 p.m. to discuss his book, “Soft Corruption: How Unethical Conduct Undermines Good Government and What To Do About It.” Schluter (R), provides a fascinating account of the often invisible decisions that lead to ethical misconduct. He describes his experiences and strategies in combating misconduct over a 40-year political career.

Schluter examines examples of corruption involving campaign money, lobbying, conflicts of interest, patronage abuse, and electoral manipulation, all of which contribute to dysfunction in both national and state government. He recommends a specific and comprehensive plan for reform that engages citizens and can be applied in all states. Books will be available for purchase and signing. RSVP: kha@ penningtonlibrary.org Getting Started with Medicare: Presented by Cathy Forbes, of the Mercer County State Health Insurance Assistance Program, this program will help attendees learn about the different parts of Medicare, find out their eligibility, learn when to apply for Medicare, and learn how to choose the coverage they need.

Get Proactive about Breast Health: Would you like to be more proactive about your breast health?

Eighty nine percent of women who develop breast cancer do not have a firstdegree relative who had it.

Genes are an important but relatively small part of the breast cancer story. You also need to understand the role of inflammation and the importance of your breast density. What increases risk and what can you do to lower it?

Join Charlie Erica Fall and learn about healthy dietary habits, daily activities, standard of care options, as well as emerging technologies that can be a welcome addition to your breast care toolkit. Charlie will lead a discussion on steps you can take that can help remove the fear from breast care.

Sunday, October 1 at 3 p.m.

Charlie Erica Fall is a Certified Thermography Manager. Thermography is an early risk-assessment tool, a non-invasive imaging technology that may help women detect breast abnormalities at an earlier stage. It is radiation free and no compression is involved.

Prior to her career in thermography, Charlie spent 20 years instructing families with autism in the dietary interventions to reduce the associated inflammation and symptoms.

The Cosmic Ballet Goes On Just in time for the eclipse, Princeton University Art Museum is displaying the solar art of Howard Russell Butler

W

By Anthony Stoeckert

hen the solar eclipse crosses the nation on Aug. 21, millions of people will take pictures — everything from blurry cell phone snaps to highly detailed scientific images of the headlinemaking cosmic event.

In 1918, the last time there was a coast-to-coast eclipse in the United States, photography wasn’t able to capture the details and colors of the eclipse, but Howard Russell Butler could.

Butler graduated from Princeton University (then named The College of New Jersey) in 1879 with a degree in science. According to a timeline about Butler on the website of the Princeton University Art Museum, Butler experienced his first eclipse expedition when he went to Manchester, New Hampshire with Steve Alexander, head of the astronomy department, and Cyrus Brackett, a physics professor.

Butler joined the physics department as an assistant professor in 1877. Later, he received a law degree from Columbia and worked in electrical patent law for a brief time before deciding to become a painter in 1884.

In 1893, Butler and his wife bought a summer home in East Hampton, New York. He began painting seascapes, for which he developed a method of painting subjects in motion as they undergo change.

By that 1918 eclipse, Butler had earned a reputation as an artist who could accurately capture natural and scientific phenomena, and he was invited to accompany the U.S. Naval Observatory party to Baker, Oregon, to paint the total eclipse.

“He was invited as an artist who could capture a scientific event, a transient event,” says Lisa Arcomano, manager of the museum’s campus collections. “So they used him for his skills. Howard Butler had done a number of paintings of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, but it’s landscapes and his seascapes where he was able to capture a transient moment, whether it was a sunset or the shifting seas.”

The paintings he made of that eclipse are among the works featured in “Transient Effects: The Solar Eclipses and Celestial Landscapes of Howard Russell Butler,” on view at the Princeton University Art Museum, through Oct. 8.

Butler’s work involved sketching an eclipse as it happened. He also took notes on details of things like the corona, the outer part of the sun that can be seen during the eclipse. He also made notations about brightness and color. And he did all of that during the precious few minutes of the total eclipse.

According to Arcomano, Butler practiced in the time leading up to the eclipse, doing dry runs when he was timed so that he could practice capturing the eclipse under a deadline of just a few minutes.

The paintings he created were very likely the best record of eclipses available at that time. The works are still praised for their accuracy and they are impressive feats. They’re also downright cool, especially with eclipse fever sweeping the nation.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a series of paintings of three different solar eclipses. The first is of the 1918 eclipse in which the corona can be seen to various degrees. There’s a burst of flame-like gas at the top, wide swaths at the bottom right, and just a hint of corona to the bottom left. White light surrounds the sun, with the rest of the painting consisting of dark sky.

In the center of the triptych is Butler’s rendering of a 1923 eclipse, which he saw from Lompoc, California. According to wall text accompanying the triptych, Butler planned to travel to Mexico to see that

eclipse, but instead decided to stay in Santa Barbara and make his way to Lompoc. That decision turned out to be fortuitous as it was cloudy in Mexico and the sky was clear in Lompoc.

Butler’s painting of the 1923 eclipse captures a “Bailey’s bead,” a burst of sunlight that shines through the moon’s “craggly topography” according to wall text. The sky surrounding the sun in this painting is dark, except for Venus, which shines above.

The last painting of the triptych is of a 1925 eclipse which Butler saw from Middletown, Connecticut.

Also included in the show is a painting of the moon’s approach before the 1918 eclipse in Oregon.

Butler painted solar images aside from eclipses.

Most fun of all, perhaps, are the artist’s renderings of Mars as seen from the planet’s moons. These paintings are not scientifically accurate, as they are based on the theories of Percival Lowell, an astronomer who believed there was life on Mars. Butler painted canals and areas of vegetation, based on sketches by Lowell.

Even though Lowell believed there was life on Mars, you won’t see any little green men in Butler’s paintings, but you just may get a glimpse of the artist himself. In his painting of Mars seen from the moon Phobos, there’s a shadow toward the bottom left that appears human like. Wall text explains it’s believed that was Butler inserting himself into his painting.

The timing of the exhibit is perfect as it ties to the Aug. 21 eclipse. But Arcomano said Butler’s paintings were brought to her attention when she first joined the museum’s staff in 2008. Cary Liu, the museum’s curator of Asian art, remembered the paintings being displayed on campus. They were taken down during a renovation, stored, and forgotten.

“Cary said to me, ‘You’ve got to find these things, I understand they may be lost,’” Arcomano says. “He heard some rumor that that they were in a closet.”

The paintings were found, protected and in good condition. Arcomano says that after the exhibit, some of the paintings will be on view at Whitman College and she hopes to find homes for all of them.

After the paintings were rediscovered, Arcomano got a call from Rolf Sinclair, a researcher in Chile and a visiting research scholar at the University of Maryland. Sinclair was giving a talk about Butler and the accuracy of his eclipse paintings and wanted to see them. Sinclair co-curated the exhibit as a science adviser, and worked with Arcomano on the museum’s website about Butler.

“It’s kind of remarkable that we’ve had all this interest in this art from scientists who recognize the importance of capturing this event that scientists could study,” Arcomano says.

“Transient Effects: The Solar Eclipses and Celestial Landscapes of Howard Russell Butler” is on view at the Princeton University Art Museum on the Princeton University campus through Oct. 8. 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.

Patricia Richardson is returning to Bucks County Playhouse in ‘Other Desert Cities’

W

hen Jon Robin Baitz’s “Other Desert Cities” opened in New York in 2011, Patricia Richardson wanted to see it, not only because of the acclaim the play received but because she thought it could come in handy one day.

“I remember thinking, ‘Oh I have to see this play, there are two parts in this I can play, so I’ve got to go and see this because I know someday I’ll probably end up playing one of these parts,’” Richardson says.

Well, she never got around to seeing the play on Broadway, but she was right about getting a chance to appear in “Other Desert Cities,” as she is starring in Bucks County Playhouse’s revival of the show, running through Sept. 2. And Richardson has no regrets about not seeing it. “Now I’m really glad I didn’t because I always think it’s bet-

ter not to see [a play I’m acting in],” she says.

Richardson is best-known for her TV work on the ‘90s sitcom “Home Improvement” and Aaron Sorkin’s “West Wing.”

“Other Desert Cities” marks her return to the Bucks County Playhouse after starring in last summer’s “Steel Magnolias.”

“Other Desert Cities” is a family drama, and this family has a lot of drama. Polly and Lyman Wyeth (Richardson and Kevin Kilner) are a wealthy and powerful couple living in Palm Springs, California. Polly is a former screenwriter who wrote a series of MGM comedies with her sister, Silda (Deirdre Madigan).

“These are the early years before the ‘70s, before the hippies and the drug generation,“ Richardson says. “As (Polly) says, ‘before the drugs and the lefties came in and

Polly and Lyman have a daughter, Brooke (Liza J. Bennett), who wrote a hit novel years ago, but is dealing with depression. The couple also has a son, Trip (Charles Socarides), a TV producer. Another son, who was an activist and may have had a hand in an attack on a recruitment center in the ’70s, committed suicide years ago.

Tension exists between Silda and Polly, largely because Polly left the writing team to support her husband who rose to the ranks of chairman of the Republican Party.

Despite the sisters’ history, Silda, an alcoholic, is staying with Polly and Lyman.

Coming to visit is Brooke, to celebrate Christmas and to talk about her new book, which is about the family’s history, and which Polly doesn’t want to see published.

“She hasn’t written anything in six years but now she’s come home because she’s written a book and she wants to tell us about it before she publishes it,” Richardson says.

“The premise of the play is that we’ve been back East to take care of her but she has not been back to us in Palm Springs in six years.

So we’re all gathered for Christmas in Palm Springs, which is kind of a unique thing.

And she’s coming to tell us about this book, which I am sort of dreading. She is fragile, we’ve been worrying about her for six years.”

Richardson says the family is smart and

funny, and that much of the play’s drama focuses on the political divide between Polly and Lyman and the rest of the family.

“There’s a lot of political banter and there’s a lot of funny stuff and then things on a dime turn and get kind of ugly,” Richardson says.

Richardson says that even though her politics differ from Polly’s, she is able to connect with the character. Like Polly, she’s a mother, and she and her father differed on politics. During the Vietnam war, Richardson says she would send her father the lyrics to “Masters of War.” “We had these sorts of discussions [the characters have] only ours were about Vietnam,” Richardson says. “And the kids in this show are objecting to Bush and Iraq and the Middle East. But it’s the same discussion, the same generational warfare, only more much intense because there are personal things involved with this family.”

She says the part also presents challenges, specifically in regard to how Polly is very much about controlling herself, and just about everything in her life.

“My character discusses her control and her belief of being able to be in control of every bit of information and that procession,” Richardson says. “That’s the way to live and that’s how she’s lived her life — with a great deal of control and a great deal of holding back. And believing that weakness is a bad thing, that a weakness can lead to death and sensitivity kills people.”

She says it all adds up to a play that is funny at times, but also intense. It also has an ending that Richardson says will surprise and impact audiences.

“This is like one of those movies where you hope somebody doesn’t tell you the end before you go,” she says. “It will be so much better if before you go to this play, if you don’t know the ending.”

“Other Desert Cities” will be performed at Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, through Sept. 2.

STAGE REVIEW

By Bob Brown

‘Appropriate’ at Princeton Summer Theatre Branden Jacobs-Jenkins draws from other works to create a powerful and timely family drama

P

rinceton Summer Theater closes out its 2017 season with a doozy by Princeton alumnus Branden JacobsJenkins. “Appropriate,” at the Hamilton Murray Theater through Aug. 20, is a powerful play that kidnaps your psyche.

In a 2014 interview with Eliza Bent for American Theatre, the playwright explained that he read a lot of family dramas. “I got the idea in my head that I would read all these plays and take one thing from each of them that I really loved and then put those all in the play,” he said. It’s not note-fornote from the likes of his predecessors, but you get the feeling. August Wilson, Edward Albee, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Eugene O’Neill, Chekov, Sam Shepard, and on and on. Their voices, their people, are spirits in the background.

What makes Jacobs-Jenkins distinct is that his work is also informed by questions of race as well as personal identity. Unlike August Wilson, however, he comes at it sideways. He’s a black playwright speaking through white characters. “I was interested in how invisible I could make blackness,” he said, “but still have it affect the viewing experiences.”

In a way, “Appropriate” is a Southern Gothic narrative in three acts. It delves into the troubled Lafayette family, who are haunted by long-buried secrets that have suddenly risen from the grave and threaten to destroy them like the living dead. Their story is told in three acts: Act 1 is “Revelations,” where horrible discoveries are made; Act 2 is “Walpurgisnacht,” the night of witchery, where the consequences of the discoveries and their handling are played out; Act 3 is “The Book of Genesis.” You can take it as a new beginning — or as an expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

Gathering at the abandoned southern plantation of the family patriarch, the Lafayettes are about to dispose of the property. It’s no plantation in the classic sense — there are no grand columns, it’s not Tara.

Scenic designer Joseph Haggerty has created a perfect rotting mess in a disheveled interior of peeling paint and strewn bric-abrac. It’s an ironic comment on the preten-

It’s night and the cicadas’ buzzing is almost an assault. The soundscape, handled

by Sam Bezilla, is an important “character.”

Franz (Brennan Lowery) and his shamaninspired fiancée River (Olivia Nice), break in through a window. Their arrival arouses the household, including his elder sister Toni (Alex Vogelsang), a sharp-tongued divorcee and executor of the family estate, along with her embittered son Rhys (Noah Riley).

There’s some dispute about who gets to sleep where, since everyone is expecting the arrival of sibling Bo (Christopher Damen) and wife Rachel (Olivia Levine), dragging along their hyperactive son Ainsley (Sawyer Berness) and pubescent daughter Cassidy (Meagan Raker). No sooner have all assembled than long-simmering resentments and assumptions bubble up.

Adding fuel to the fires is the discovery of a certain photo album among the scattered effects. Its shocking contents are so horrible that no one wants to admit that they can‘t help pawing through it when no one else is looking. Nor do they want to admit that it probably points to their late father — a respected pillar of society and a Harvard man — as a closet white supremacist of the worst stripe. (Jacobs-Jenkins could hardly have anticipated how timely his theme would become, given present events; or could he?)

As the screw turns, hopes for a brighter future dim when a secret about the house is

revealed — along with other family secrets that dash the plans of the now not-somellow River and the wildly manic Franz, who unwittingly becomes the author of his own doom. The claws are out and no one escapes unpunished in a breathtaking eruption of pure animal fury.

There are gripping performances all around, with interludes of pathos and humor. Especially notable in key roles are Vogelsang as Toni, whose insults are like right-jabs to the jaw, and Levine as Rachel, whose foul-mouthed put-downs are enough to peel wallpaper — what hasn’t already peeled. Lowery’s performance as Franz on a manic tear is a tour de force.

The play deals frankly and bluntly with hard issues and harsh truths. Like the best dramas, it’s not a vehicle with a single “message” or a neat moral. It exposes rather than explains. What you take from it de-

pends on your own attitudes. It’s a long play at nearly three hours, and after all that, it ends with a kind of whimper, so subtle that you‘re not even sure it has ended until the house lights come up.

And maybe that’s the point. We’re left to consider what continues, or what is possible given what has been exposed. This is one heck of a powerful play by a young playwright who is putting a distinctive stamp on modern drama. Be aware, however, that there’s a lot of salty dialogue, so it’s not for the kids, amusingly, young Ainsley has earphones put in place when the adult conversation turns foulest.

IN CONCERT

By Mike Morsch

Young Musicians and a Young Rascal Eddie Brigati will join students from the Rockit! Academy for a night of music from the Summer of Love at the Count Basie Theatre

It was like a scene right out of the movies.

Bruce Gallipani was at Steven Van Zandt’s “Soulfire” album release party earlier this year at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

Gallipani is founder and executive director of the Rockit! Live Foundation, a nonprofit organization that teaches young musicians ages 8 to 18 the rock ‘n’ roll band experience. Students audition, learn a specific repertoire of songs supplemented with private instruction, and after six weeks, perform live at the Count Basie Theatre.

Van Zandt and his wife Maureen have been big supporters of the foundation.

“I would often tell Maureen and Steven how I loved that they surrounded themselves with warm, loving people,” Gallipani says. “And Maureen suggested that I meet Eddie.”

That would be Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Eddie Brigati of The Rascals. And meeting him would be easy enough as Brigati was also scheduled to be at the “Soulfire” album release party, which Gallipani knew in advance.

The Rockit! band of young musicians was performing at the party, so Gallipani decided to take the Wilson Pickett version of the song “Mustang Sally,” which was already in the band’s repertoire, and change it to The Rascals’ version of the song.

“The kids grabbed Eddie’s attention when they took the stage, and he was standing next to me when they started ‘Mustang Sally,’” Gallipani says. “Eddie turned to me and said, ‘You planned that.’”

A subsequent meeting a few weeks later between Gallipani and Brigati and his wife Susan convinced Brigati to perform with Rockit! at its next show, “The Summer of Love,” Aug. 26 at the Count Basie Theatre.

The show will feature music from the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album with special guest Brigati, who will also play some Rascals hits.

“We were at Steven’s album release party and I’m just kind of basking in the

event and these kids started playing,” says Brigati, who calls Van Zandt his mentor. “I didn’t know who they were, I didn’t know anything about it. I said, ‘Wow, they went back into the ‘60s for some of their songs.’

And it caught my attention. They were really adept and really schooled. I didn’t realize that they were all kids.”

It was Van Zandt, a longtime member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, who gave the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech for The Rascals in 1997.

And it was Van Zandt and his wife who eventually reunited the original Rascals — Brigati, Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli — and produced “The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream,” a combination Photo by Mark Weiss concert/theatrical series of performances in 2012 that brought the original group to- Jacob Fisher of Red Bank, Ashley Plath of Middletown, & Connor O’Malley gether for the first time in more than 40 of Wall of the Count Basie Theatre’s Rockit program performing in concert. years.

Here comes the moon Palmer Square is the place to see, and learn about, the eclipse

By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor The biggest show of the summer is just around the corner and it isn’t taking place on a stage and it isn’t streaming on your television.

It’s happening in the sky.

On Aug. 21, a solar eclipse will span the United States from coast to coast, the first time that’s happened in 99 years. During the eclipse, the moon will pass exactly on the line between Earth and the sun. In certain parts of the country it will look as if the moon is completely covering the sun.

“The shadow that the moon will cast falls only onto a very specific area of the Earth, and as everything is moving, that shadow then moves,” says Michael Strauss, professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University’s Department of Astrophysical Sciences. “That phenomenon is called a solar eclipse and it will … pass across the entire United States, starting initially on the coast of Oregon and ending up in South Carolina, and cutting a swath in between.”

That arc-like swath will pass through states including Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina.

That stretch is called “the path of totality.”

“At totality, what happens is the sun is blacked out,” Strauss said. “The light from the sun, which is high in the sky, disappears, so what you see is essentially twilight. The sun itself is covered up. The outer parts of the sun, what’s called the corona of the sun, then become visible, they’re much too thin to be seen under normal conditions, but when the moon covers the sun, the outer parts, the corona, become visible. That’s a pretty dramatic sight.”

Central Jersey does not fall into the path of totality, but Strauss said the view from here will still be pretty impressive.

“In Princeton, the alignment of the moon and the sun are not perfect, but the moon will cover 80 to 85 percent of the sun’s disk,” Strauss said. “So the sun will look like a crescent instead of the usual circle that appears, you will get a crescent shape.”

Weather permitting, skywatchers

Ockert, left, and Janie Hermann, right, of the Princeton Public Library wear eclipse viewing glasses, while Hermann also holds the book “American Eclipse” by David Baron. be able to see the crescent anywhere, but the Princeton Public Library and the university’s department of astrophysical sciences will participate in a “solar eclipse viewing party” at the Palmer Square green, beginning at 1 p.m. The eclipse is expected to be at its peak at around 2:44 p.m.

During the event, representatives from Princeton University and the library will share information about the eclipse. Protective glasses needed to view the eclipse safely will be available for free.

As for those glasses, the reason it’s not safe to look at the eclipse is because it’s never safe to look directly at the sun. Those reminders not to look at the eclipse are needed, Strauss said, because people want to look at it.

“The only thing that makes the eclipse a time to warn people is that everyone wants to look at the sun,” Strauss said. “Most of the time we don’t say, ‘Oh, I want to go outside and stare directly at the sun and burn my eyeballs off.’ Usually we’re smart enough not to do that.”

But with those glasses, Strauss

said people will able to see what he called the “beautiful crescent.” And the experts from Princeton University will be pointing out other things to look out for, and not everything will be in the sky.

For example, Strauss said light that filters through tree leaves will be shaped differently than usual.

“Imagine that you’re standing underneath a tree full of leaves, and the light from the sun is being filtered through the leaves, and normally what you get is just a dappled pattern on the ground of the light of the sun filtered through the leaves,” Strauss said. During the eclipse, he added, those dapples will be crescent shaped. “It will be immediately obvious that something interesting is going on.”

Strauss will not be at Palmer Square Aug. 21. He and his family are traveling to Oregon, the first state the path of totality will hit. To offer an idea of how big a deal this eclipse is, Strauss said he and his family booked their rooms in December, and that was almost too late.

“Someone described this eclipse

as, imagine a Super Bowl happening simultaneously everywhere along the line crossing the United States,” Strauss said.

For lay people, the eclipse is an impressive and cool sight, but for scientists, it’s an important opportunity to study the sun. Strauss said the typical mental picture of the sun as a ball of heated gas is pretty accurate, but that ball has an atmosphere and outer part that usually aren’t visible. During the eclipse, with the brightest part of the sun covered, those outer parts can be seen and that provides information to scientists about various aspects of the sun, including its magnetic fields.

“Just like the Earth has a magnetic field that your compass responds to so you can figure out which direction is north, so too the sun has a magnetic field that is quite a bit more interesting and complicated,” Strauss said. He added that studying the corona provides scientists with information about sun spots, which are regions on the sun’s surface that are darker than the rest of the sun. Strauss says it’s believed the magnetic field is stronger in those regions.

“It’s poorly understood exactly what’s going on on the sun to make all this happen, and this is one way for us to be able to study that,” he said.

Strauss said any given year sees about one or two eclipses somewhere on the planet. The last eclipse in the U.S. was in the 1970s, the next one will be in 2024. What makes this one exciting is that it is crossing across the entire country.

“You’ll see the partial solar eclipse from anywhere in the United States, and if you’re willing to do some driving, you can get to the place where the full solar eclipse will happen,” he said.

In this era of cell phones and people’s habit to record just about everything, social media is destined to be filled with eclipse pictures. But chances are most of those images won’t be all that impressive. Strauss said the advice he’s gotten is that unless you‘re a true photography expert, it’s best to sit back and take in the sight.

“Just enjoying the experience with the naked eye is much more fun,” Strauss said.

Pam Hersh

These shoes are made for walking, and helping Princeton resident Heather Christensen Smith, the creative director and co-founder of Wazi Shoes, has achieved great feats as an entrepreneur, thanks to her creative brain, big heart, her feet and the feet of others.

And I nearly fell over my feet when I met her.

Several weeks ago, a good friend and I — bemoaning the assortment of feet issues we endure — told me to try these fabulous beaded and high-quality leather “Wazi” sandals. I became sold on the product when I learned that the importer of Wazi Shoes was a native of Kenya, now living in Princeton, and running the business as a way to fund nursing scholarships in East Africa to help combat HIV and other health threats.

Determined to interview Heather so I could promote her acts of charitable entrepreneurship, I arranged to meet her at Hulit’s Shoes, on Nassau Street in Princeton, which carries the Wazi sandals and totes. When she walked into Hulit’s for our appointment, I ignored her until Hulit’s sales clerk Keith Lindsay whispered to me “that’s her, that’s Heather,” he said pointing to a blonde, blue-eyed woman.

I quickly learned that Heather, whose mother is English and father is American, was born in Kenya. “My parents were living in Kenya, because of my father’s work as a ship captain,” she said. “It was intended that I would be born in England.” But baby Heather arrived early, messing up the plans — “for the better,” she says. Although she has lived much of her life outside of Kenya, she purposefully and enthusiastically has remained connected to Africa.

Heather is the creative director of Wazi Shoes, a brand of beaded, leather sandals, handmade in Tanzania. She co-founded the business in 2016 with her sister Alice, who was born in England, and her brother-inlaw, Abdul Majid, who is from Tanzania.

“It all started when about 10 years ago, my sister wanted to celebrate her 30th birthday on an island off the cost of Kenya,” Heather said. “When we were there, my sister and I were inspired by the natural style and incredible comfort of the local sandals. I bought a pair of these gorgeous leather flip-flops that I wore all over New York City for four years. I must have put hundreds of miles on those flip-flops and got hundreds of compliments. That was the inspiration for my sister and me to start the business.”

“Wazi,” which means “open” in Swahili, was started by Heather, Alice and Abdul with the intention of giving back, by providing steady employment for the workers who produce the shoes and accompanying packaging in Tanzania. In addition, Wazi Shoes gives a percentage of its sales to The Gretta Foundation, which helps nursing students in East Africa earn their nursing degree.

Nurses make up about 90 percent of the front line medical workforce in East Africa, and are in short supply.

With every $2,000 it raises, The Gretta Foundation can send a nursing student through school for a year.

“This is really Alice’s story as to how we landed on this project,” Heather said. “Alice, a public health nurse, was working in Tanzania when she met the man who became her husband and moved to Dar es Salaam.”

Abdul, having listened to Alice and Heather talk about the sandals and how they wanted to let the rest of the world know about this extraordinary product, figured out a way to turn their wishes into reality.

“He speaks Swahili, is a great negotiator, understands the African culture, and is determined,” Heather said.

Abdul went to 10 to 15 cities in Tanzania, visited the markets and found the shop where the sandals are made.

The three of them came up with a business plan whose product would be the handmade, high-quality leather

Heather Christensen Smith, who helped found Wazi Shoes, and Keith Linds of Hulit’s Shoes. and beaded footwear, woven with charitable giving.

Before Wazi wowed her, Heather had a career that had nothing to do with retail or shoes, other than the fact that she shopped and wore shoes.

Heather worked in the museum world, first in New York City at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and later in Princeton as a curatorial consultant at Morven Museum & Garden.

At Morven, Heather spent two years researching, writing and co-curating last year’s experiential sixgallery historical exhibition, “Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Couple of an Age.” She also organized complementary programs and lectures including one by A. Scott Berg, a Pulitzer-prize winning biographer.

As an independent curator, Heather has organized several contemporary art exhibitions in Manhattan and locally, her most recent project was Nine Blinks at the West Windsor Art Council, featuring the works of nine artists exploring the role of perspective on the human form.

The thread that ties her two careers together is her appreciation of art, culture and design. She holds masters in the History of Decorative Arts and Design from The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum / Parsons School of Design, and a B.A. in literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz. And it is her primary job as a mother running around with and after three young girls (one 6-year-old and 4-year-old twins) that makes her so intent upon pursuing Wazi Shoes — easy on the soles, good for the soul.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Melinda A. Parisi Cummings, Ph.D.

Eating disorders can happen at mid-life It’s the PTA mom who bakes cupcakes for her child’s class, but can’t join her family at the dinner table.

It’s the high-powered executive who takes control in the boardroom, but is unable to order at a restaurant without panic setting in.

It’s the neighbor, the friend, the family member who seems to have it all, but feels totally inadequate when she looks in the mirror.

While eating disorders are often thought to be a diagnosis primarily faced by adolescent or young women, research has shown that they are also common among women in mid-life.

The Center for Eating Disorders Care at University Medical Center of Princeton provides effective and compassionate treatment for adults, adolescents and children as young as 8 years old of all genders who are suffering from eating disorders.

Patients of all genders benefit from treatment for

the medical, psychiatric, psychological, and nutritional aspects of their illness and have access to broad-ranging consultative care for co-existing medical conditions.

Serious mental health conditions No matter what age they occur, eating disorders are complex psychiatric and medical illnesses that can have serious consequences.

They can include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Eating disorders are typically characterized by an extreme fixation on food, calories, weight and appearance.

More than 20 million women and 10 million men in America will have an eating disorder at some point in their lives, according to the National Eating Disorders Association.

And though most eating disorders manifest during the adolescent years, it is not unusual for women in mid-life to struggle with eating and body image is-

sues as well.

Aging, stress can trigger eating disorders While there is no single factor that causes an eating disorder, the symptoms of eating disorders — limiting food intake, avoiding mealrelated activities, to name a couple — are often a means to control anxiety and other troubling feelings. For women in midlife, life situations that may trigger unmanageable anxiety are different from those of adolescents and young adults, including: • Trauma • Marriage or relationship trouble, infidelity, divorce • Pregnancy and childbirth • Infertility • Natural signs of aging and menopause • Stress • Empty nest syndrome • Social pressure to look younger • Death of a loved one Existing in the mind Many women with eating disorders can appear to

have a normal life, but in their mind they may be tortured by low self-esteem and fear of food and gaining weight.

Additionally, many women may appear to be a healthy weight and still have an eating disorder.

Warning signs of an eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorders Association, include: • Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, dieting and/or body image • Development of abnormal, secretive, extreme or ritualized food or eating habits • Withdrawal from friends and activities • Evidence of binge eating, such as the disappearance of large amounts of food • Evidence of purging behaviors, including frequent trips to the bathroom after meals, self-induced vomiting, periods of fasting • Compulsive or excessive exercising • Feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety or irritability

Not only can eating disorders interfere with relationships and daily life, they can also become lifethreatening if not treated properly.

In many instances, a woman may suffer with an eating disorder for years before seeking help.

If someone you know shows signs of an eating disorder, talk with them about your concerns and encourage them to seek professional care.

A valuable treatment option The Center for Eating Disorders Care at University Medical Center of Princeton offers care in a partial hospital setting, providing a valuable option for patients who need concentrated treatment, but who do not need 24/7 medical supervision. It is intensive intervention with the goal of arresting the illness before it causes medical problems that require hospitalization.

Participants in the partial hospital program take

part in individual, group and family therapy and receive psychiatric care at the hospital during the day.

Clients return home at night and on weekends, and the program focuses on the skills needed to regain good health.

The program is available from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. The length of the program day and frequency of visits depends on an individual’s needs. For most clients, the program starts with three meals and two snacks a day at the center and gradually transitions to more meals at home.

For more information about the Center for Eating Disorders Care or to schedule an evaluation visit www.princetonhcs.org/eatingdisorders or call 609853-7575.

Melinda A. Parisi Cummings, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and is the program director of the Center for Eating Disorders Care at UMCP.

Q

. What designations do you have and what does it mean for the people you work with?

A. I am honored to announce that I have been awarded the highest designation that Realtors can attain – Platinum Level by the NJAR Circle of Excellence, another year in a row, since 2012!

In today’s complex market, Real Estate professionals have to be innovative, diligent and consistent in order to excel. I have also been recognized to be in the Top 1% of all Realtors nationwide.

For clients, this means that they can be assured that my years of experience and real estate knowledge will get them the results they are looking for.

Q

. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

A. Call a real estate professional! Both buyers and sellers are educated in todays’ web-driven world. However, not all information listed on-line is accurate, nor can it replace the experience and knowledge offered by a real estate professional.

Q

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices?

A. The Real Estate market is steady in Princeton. As with any market, there is a constant movement and fluctuation throughout the year. The Spring Market is always hot but I see growth in re-sale prices and a boom in the demand for new constructions which of course affect the pricing of a neighborhood.

Princeton’s location and vibrant community has allowed the real estate market to stay strong through the years, but the current influx of buyers has definitely raised the demand for homes!

. What do you like most about living in this area?

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

Q

. Is there a certain community in the area which has become your main focus?

A. I enjoy having a very versatile and expansive business throughout the area. Nonetheless, quite a bit of my focus goes to Princeton Landing. I have lived on Sayre Drive for over a decade and have sold over 300 homes there.

Because my family and I call Princeton Landing our home, I am very knowledgeable about the market there. It is such a beautiful, park-like community with all of the amenities of a 5-star resort and close proximity to major roadways and Princeton Junction Train Station. Many of my clients have found their perfect home in Princeton Landing and I am happy to call them neighbors.

Q

. What is your current focus is Real Estate?

A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming New Construction in Princeton. It seems that almost every street I turn on, there is at least one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth.

Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly interested in new construction projects.
