Borges tapped as administrator once Pogorzelski retires By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Elaine Borges, Hopewell Township’s current chief financial officer, will take on new responsibilities over the next few months as she moves in to take over as the township administrator next year. Following a unanimous vote by the township committee on Monday, Borges has been tapped to become the Hopewell Town-
ship assistant administrator. She will eventually take up the mantle of township administrator once Paul Pogorzelski retires this December. “Elaine has deep ties to Hopewell Township, and has served the township with distinction for many years. Importantly, by having her ‘back-fill’ for Paul, we will maintain continuity in township governance,� Mayor Kevin Kuchinski said, adding that
Hopewell Theater reopens under new management By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor
The stage is set for music and movies at the Hopewell Theater. The dine-in entertainment venue opened its doors for a debut under new management, Sept. 7. On that night, VIP guests and members of the general public saw a concert by the country group Bovine Social Club. The theater formerly was the home of Off-Broadstreet Theatre, which was run by Bob and Julie Thick for more than 30 years. The Thicks sold the building to Jon McGonaghey in 2012 and continued Off-Broadstreet’s series of dessert theater through the end of 2016. A proposed rent increase led to the Thicks not renewing their lease. Instead of plays and musicals, the venue is now hosting concerts, films and talks. Upcoming events include the films “Year By The Sea,� about an empty nester who heads to Cape Cod to rediscover herself, Sept. 15. Sept. 16 will see a screening of “Napping Princess,� the Japanese animated movie by Kenji Kamiyama. Upcoming concerts at the theater located at 5 S. Greenwood Ave., include guitarist-composer Kaki King on Sept. 21 and Antje Duvekot, a singer-songwriter from Boston.
Renovations to the space include a new lobby and box office. As guests enter the lobby, there is a box office to the right. To the left is a concession stand, which sells gourmet small plates and desserts, along with standard snacks such as popcorn and candy. Food from area restaurants, such as Brick Farm Market, The Bent Spoon and The Peasant Grill. Inside the theater is a new stage with a retractable screen. Woodcolored tables are set up in the middle. To the sides are sofa with tables. Toward the back are theater-like rows of seating with counters to place food on. Seating also is available in the balcony, tables in the back, rows of seats in front. The look is marked by warm colors with some industrial touches, such as visible ventilation and the wooden ceiling. “The goal was to great a comfortable, casual spot that is welcoming and inviting,� said Sara Scully, the theater’s executive director. Food selections include small plate option such as beef dogs wrapped in puff pastry; mac and cheese; Thai turkey meatballs; and a curated cheese panini. Other options include a Greek olive medley; sliced pickle tray and a hummus and veggie plate. Sweets See THEATER, Page 3A
he was looking forward to working with Borges. Borges has worked for the municipality since 1995. Officials said she will continue to serve as the township’s chief financial officer while simultaneously fulfilling the duties that come with being a township administrator, the mayor said. Pogorzelski, whose last day is Dec. 29, has served as township administrator for nearly 11 years.
He also served as the township engineer, until the governing body appointed Mark Kataryniak to become the Community Development Director and township engineer earlier this year. “(Appointing Kataryniak to become the township engineer) enabled us to have an extended transition and hand-over period, so that Mark can benefit from Paul’s deep understanding of the township and to get up to speed as
township engineer before Paul re-
tires at the end of the year,� Kuchinski said.
The township committee’s actions have resulted in combining
three positions - community de-
velopment director, administrator/engineer and chief financial
officer - into two positions, the mayor said.

Affordable housing settlement presentation planned By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
215-354-3146
Hopewell Township’s settlement of a lawsuit over affordable housing, filed by the Fair Share Housing Center, has cleared the way for the potential construction of more than 3,000 housing units including 653 units earmarked for low- and moderate-income households.
But what does that really mean for Hopewell Township and its residents, and how will be they be impacted? To answer that question, the township committee will hold a public information meeting - set for Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. in the Hopewell Valley Central High School auditorium - to explain the impact of the lawsuit settlement on the township.
The information session will be moderated by Hopewell Township Administrator/Engineer Paul Pogorzelski and professional planner Philip Caton, who lives in Hopewell Township. Caton has also served as a Mount Laurel special master in the courts. Deputy Mayor Julie Blake said the presentation will provide general background information on municipalities’ affordable housing
obligations, as well as an opportunity to address residents’ questions regarding the settlement and its impact on Hopewell Township. The settlement agreement, which was approved in Mercer County Superior Court last month, acknowledges that the township met its initial obligation to provide affordable housing units, and that it is now responsible for providing an additional 653 units by 2025.
Those 653 units will be provided through the construction of for-sale and rental units, plus some beds set aside in a continuing care retirement community. Property owner CF Hopewell has proposed building 2,150 housing units - to include 430 affordable housing units - on land on both sides of Scotch Road, be-

HOPEWELL VALLEY BRIEFS Water light show
The public is invited to witness a free, once-in- alifetime artistic rendering of George Washington’s daring crossing of the Delaware River on Saturday, Sept. 16 at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA). Beginning shortly after 7 p.m., world-renowned Swiss artist Gerry Hofstetter and his team of lighting experts will project an array of images onto an 80-by30-foot “water shield” created by a pump that will be carried out into the river aboard one of the park’s Durham boats. This giant curtain of water will last for approximately one hour and music will accompany the show. Spectators may bring their own blankets and chairs to watch from the riverbank.

Of the 350 beds, 35 would be designated as Medicaid beds, or affordable.

Hopewell Valley Senior Services are working in collaboration with the Hopewell Valley YMCA in starting a pool league.

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. property on the Pennington-Rocky Hill Road would be developed for 250 units, including 50 that would be earmarked as affordable housing units. On Route 31 on property owned by Albert Enouarto, the U.S. Home Corp. - also known as Lennar - would build a subdivision to include 12 affordable housing units. Also on Route 31, the township-owned Zaitz tract would be developed to include 78 affordable housing units. The total number of units to be built has not yet been determined. The property is near the ShopRite grocery store.
With the settlement in hand, Hopewell Township will be protected from “builder’s remedy“ lawsuits through 2025. Such a lawsuit, if successful, would force the town to zone for high-density housing in exchange for including affordable housing units in a development. Following a series of lawsuits that began in 1975, when a group challenged zoning regulations in Mount Laurel Township that discouraged the construction of affordable housing, New Jersey declared through the court system that every town must provide for its fair share of low- and moderate-income housing.

GETTING AN EARLY JUMP There are forces at work in a youngster’s mouth that conspire against a perfect arrangement of teeth in the dental arch. These forces are exerted by the tongue, lips, cheeks, and opposing teeth. It is possible to get an idea of how these various forces are going to affect the positions of the permanent teeth by examining the placement of the “baby” teeth when the child is seven or eight years old. If an early examination of a child’s teeth and jaws indicates WKDW WKH FKLOG PD\ EHQH¿W from a “two-phase” treatment plan, the orthodontist may be able to suggest strategies for circumventing problems and/or anticipating future problems. Getting this “early jump” on treatment may pay big dividends later on. The American Academy of Orthodontists recommends that your child have an orthodontic evaluation around age 7. That’s because the jaw is still developing and it’s best to catch issues early. To schedule a free consultation, SOHDVH FDOO WKH RI¿FH RI MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-7301414. We are located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.
P.S. The early phase of a two-phase orthodontic treatment plan may be designed to correct harmful oral habits, intercept a developing problem, guide jaw growth, or establish longterm stability.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Incumbent BOE member announces candidacy To the editor:
I am pleased to announce that I have submitted my petition for re-election to the Hopewell Valley Regional School District Board of Education. It has been my privilege to represent Hopewell Township on the board over the past six years. I have chaired and served on several board committees including Education, Personnel, Technology, Policy, Finance and Facilities. I am proud of Hopewell’s direction and accomplishments, and it has been gratifying to be actively involved in the development of many district initiatives during my time on the board, including: • Increasing access to AP and Honors classes at Central High School and Timberlane Middle School by establishing consistent eligibility criteria, • Improving consistency of curriculum, instruction and achievement across our four elementary schools, • Developing programs to improve services while keeping special education students in-district, • Developing a homework policy to balance academics and co-curriculars, • Establishing STEM and Performing Arts magnet academies,

Everyone should attend affordable housing meeting To the editor: On Tuesday, September 19 at 7 p.m., the Hopewell Township Committee invites all members of the Hopewell Township community to attend its special meeting in the Hopewell Valley Central High School auditorium. You will hear, and question, the decisions made by our government members in regard to the number of affordable housing units necessary in the next few years. I personally request you to attend this very important meeting. I attended the decision made by the judge in regards to this amount and time frame for New Jersey Affordable Housing units in Hopewell Township. Of course I was certainly shocked when the information was announced. Hopewell Township, in my mind, is a farming community. From a realtor, I found that last year 44 homes were sold in Hopewell Township. With that in mind one can understand that Hopewell Township would only be required to build approximately 44 Affordable Housing Units over the next ten years, i.e. one Affordable Housing unit for every ten homes sold in a year. Now we are told, however, that more than 600 affordable housing units must be sold in the next eight years. It is time to ask our political representatives how they allowed this to happen. This is a affordable housing situation that has been feared by the majority of our New Jersey political representatives and have dropped it in the laps of the judges who asked other individuals to direct their decisions. On Tuesday, September 19 at 7 p.m come and find out why this decision was made and why it will certainly impact the increased tax rate to all homeowners in Hopewell Township and virtually all of New Jersey taxpayers. Posi-
tive modifications of this law can take place with all of our support.

Where are the Republicans? To the editor:
Missing Persons Report: Has anyone seen the Republican candidate(s) for Hopewell Township Committee? During the primary, the one person who was running almost immediately disappeared. Then a second write-in candidate also disappeared. Alien abductions? Attacks by cloaks of invisibility? No, there can only be one explanation: no one wants to be associated with a party headed by someone who tells the truth only five percent of the time, thinks that Nazis are good people and wants to take us back to the good old days of imminent nuclear holocaust. Yeah, with that kind of party leadership, disappearing looks like the only sensible choice. Robin Schore Titusville
Dress-down day supports veterans To the editor:
On Sept. 11, 16 years ago, my life changed forever. I watched in horror from my New York City home as my great city was attacked by ruthless terrorists. I vowed that day that I would fight against these terrorists to ensure that my country never experiences such pain again. I signed up to join the Marines the next day and served three tours of duty, fighting alongside thousands of selfless and brave men and women who volunteered to put their lives at risk to protect this great nation. Now, after so many years of war, many of our service members are coming home and facing tremendous challenges, which include unemployment, homelessness, lack of adequate health care, and an inability to get the benefits they earned from their time in service. These men and women need the support of the civilian community to ensure that they can get back on their feet. This Veterans Day, have your company and coworkers show how much they support our brave military men and women by registering for our Jeans for Troops dress down day, which will be held nationwide on Nov. 8. This simple, employee-driven dress down day goes to benefit GI Go Fund, a great organization that I am proud to call myself a member of, which assists military veterans with all of their issues when they come home. We need your support to continue assisting our military veterans, and a small $5 donation goes a long way. If you have any questions, call 866-389-GIGo (4446). Sgt.

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.

DIGNIFIED PRESENTATION Not all cultures subscribe to embalming, nor is it necessarily prescribed by law. However, it may be a requirement if a body must travel across state lines or certain distances. Aside from postponing the inevitable decomposition of the body, embalming also restores the body to a more pleasing appearance. This is a distinct advantage for those families who wish to view the body prior to burial. Embalming dates back to at least ancient Egypt, where the body-preservation technique was undertaken to help the dead enter the afterlife. In 1867, the modern age of embalming began when it became necessary to preserve the bodies of Civil War casualties for delivery back to their homes and families.
If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial. It’s important to take the time to acknowledge the uniqueness of the deceased. Not just for them, but for you. It affirms the relationship and leads to healing after loss. To learn more, please call 609-737-2900. We are located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881. “All men think that all men are mortal but themselves.”

HOPEWELL VALLEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION
to tie the game thanks to goals from Brodie Kushner and Colin Leoni, assisted by Nigel Rodrigues. Nathan Edgington made several very good saves to hold the game at the final score of 2-2.

DeSimone Orthodontics played a solid game against Jack’s Nursery and won by a final score of 6-1. There was consistent defense throughout the entire game by Teddy Franzino, Robert Taylor and Connor Batcha, along with near-perfect goalie play through the combination of Paul Warznak and Jeffrey Blake. Getting on the scoreboard with their first goals of the season were Aaron Nulman, Adam Rise and Noah Pashman.

Following their strong win in the season opening HVSA friendly match on Saturday, the Union Line Garage Firecrackers defeated Jack’s Nursery 5-2 on Sunday. The first half ended in a tightly contested match 2-0, with the Firecracker scores coming from Emilie Sawicki’s goal off a crisp center cross by Manvi Tripathi, followed by Lily Ryan’s first of two goals. The second half opened with two quick scores by Amanda Flanders, and Lily Ryan tallying her second midway through the period. The Firecrackers midfield was well handled by Kate Coyer and Lilla Antal, both credited with assists, while defense was outstanding led by Shreya Mookherjee, Piper Brant, and Reena Fielding, holding Jack’s Nursery to two scores. Goal keeping was handled by A. Flanders and M. Tripathi.
HVSA President Michael Cane (center) was on hand to award Grace Sawicki (left) and Malcolm Bornmann (right) each a $1,500 scholarship for their superior academic performance, community service and soccer achievements. HVSA awards these scholarships every year to graduating seniors from the greater Hopewell Valley community who have participated in HVSA programs.
On a chilly morning in September, the Hopewell Valley Soccer Association kicked off their fall season. Team Stark & Stark started at Independence Field and as the girls warmed up to the weather and each other, they found their place on the field as well as their footing. In a well played match against Nectar’s Landscaping there were pockets of excitement, and many shots on goal but neither team’s goalies gave up anything until the 58th minute of the game. Sidney Young, with an assist from Eleanor Farmer scored the one and only goal allowing Stark and Stark to win 1-0. Sunday’s match against team Blackbirds found team Stark and Stark behind 5-0, but spirits and sportsmanship were not dampened.
U9 Boys
Burdwood’s Landscapes faced Kuppek Landscaping in Saturday’s season opener. Ryan Fornal scored the lone goal for Burdwood’s. Eli Angarone, Dylan Somma and Dylan Hersh played hard on offense. Gavin Gola and Matthew Sarni put up a good defensive effort. Tyler Ananian and Stephen Bilobran kept them in the game with their goalkeeping skills. Burdwood’s lost to Kuppek with a score of 3-1. On Sunday, Burdwood’s Landscapes played Stellitano Heating & AC. Goals were scored by Eli Angarone and Vincent Matticoli (2) with assists from Dylan Hersh, Ryan
Fornal, and Adhithya Siva. Christopher Mackin, Eddie Besant, and Juan Geller played solid defense. Stellitano defeated Burdwood’s, 5-3. Stellitano lost against Team HVSA Wolves on Saturday, Sept. 9. While teams were evenly matched, the team’s performance was impressive and areas for improvement were easily identifiable. Goalkeeper Peter Merk stood out with a number of impressive saves. The team lost 2-1 with Seamus Manning being Stellitano’s only goal scorer. The Wolves’ Luke Hemmer kept the team in the game in the first quarter by making some great saves and commanding the defense from the goalie position. The Wolves fell behind 1-0 heading into the third quarter but were able to rally from behind to win the game 2-1 with goals scored by Justin Edgington and Nigel Rodrigues. The goals were set up by passes from Andrew Schnure and Bryson Himmelheber. The come-from behind win marked a great way to start the season. The HVSA Wolves played again on Sunday against J&V Trophies. The Wolves twice came back from behind
The U9 Hopewell Hurricanes started their travel season with a 3-0-1 showing at the 33rd Annual Branchburg Labor Day Tournament. The team defeated three academy leagues and tied in their last game against a team from Staten Island, NY, to end the weekend in first place. On day one, the Hurricanes dominated in both games, scoring a total of nine goals. In his team debut, Jack Riewe scored five goals, with Trevor Baratta, Jaxson DeRossett, Dylan Kawalek, and Archie Seas each scoring additional goals. Jack Pachtinger and Jacob Berman were fearless in goal, and Michael Cappucci and Snayhin Sharma were impassible on defense, working together to keep their first opponent scoreless and their second opponent limited to only one goal. Day two brought two new teams, but the Hurricanes continued to work together to keep their opponents on their toes. Seas led the day’s scoring with two goals, and newcomer Finnegan Curley scored off a corner kick from Riewe, who later added a goal of his own. Ethan Garber and Patrick Slajchert attacked on defense, and Kawalek spent much of the day in goal blocking shot after shot with smooth moves and aggressive dives. The weekend’s success was undoubtedly a show in teamwork.

'What the Butler Saw' at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey By Bob Brown

he Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey has presented brilliant Restoration comedies and a few modern farces. But until now, the company had never tackled the bad boy of farce, Joe Orton, whose "What the Butler Saw" is on stage at F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the Drew University through Oct. 1. Orton did not live to see his last and best play performed. In a lovers’ quarrel, his companion hammered him to death in 1967, almost two years before the work debuted on the London stage. Orton was a provocateur. He wrote dangerously and knew he would upset audiences. This play, above all, was bound to scandalize. Orton rubs your nose in nearly every kind of sexual variation (or perversion, if you will) and does so hilariously. What’s more, no self-important, upright social group or institution is safe from its merciless jabs. The medical profession (psychiatrists in particular), the government, the church, publishers, public decency, public heroes and sensibility of any kind are tossed overboard. Orton’s irreverence, descended from Oscar Wilde, is akin to "Monty Python’s Flying Circus" (which took its bow in 1969), and a cousin to Samuel Beckett, with a touch of “Are You Being Served?” and Shakespeare. It’s sheer, naughty lunacy. Appropriately, the action takes place in a private psychiatric clinic, where Dr. Prentice (Peter Simon Hilton) is about to interview the young Geraldine Barclay (Allison Layman) for a position, in every sense of the word. Ms. Barclay is alarmed when the doctor tells her to disrobe. “I couldn’t allow a man to touch me while I was unclothed,” she says. “I shall wear rubber gloves,” he assures her. The exam is interrupted when Mrs. Prentice

(Vanessa Morosco) enters in her underwear. She complains she’s being blackmailed by Beckett (Robbie Simpson), a bellboy at the local hotel, who has spent the night with her. To put him off, she’s promised the boy the secretarial position Geraldine is interviewing for. With Geraldine hiding behind a curtain, the doctor can’t stop his wife from slipping into the girl’s discarded dress. Disrobing leads to dress-swapping, which escalates to cross-dressing and a virtual roulette wheel of arbitrary clothings and disrobings. Half the cast, including a befuddled Sergeant Match (Jeffrey M. Bender) ends up in someone else’s clothes or between clothes at any one time. Let’s see, that’s two different dresses, a wig, a bellboy’s uniform, an examination gown, a policeman’s uniform, a policeman’s helmet and a pair of straitjackets. At least underwear stays in place — with one notable exception. Mistaken identities and intentional disguises are also comic fodder. Doctor Rance (John Hutton) arrives to inspect the premises. In a send-up of farce itself, he asks, “Why are there so many doors?” Was the place designed by a lunatic? Dr. Prentice confirms it was. Rance decides that Ms. Barclay is a patient. After grilling her (she’s crazy despite her vehement denials), he wheels her off to another ward on a gurney. Drugs for sedation are liberally applied — even the coo-coo Rance self-administers. Objections aside, Rance conjures elaborate psychosexual theories for every delightful “perversion” he exposes — nymphomania, buggery, transvestism, lesbianism, incest, gender-bending. He’s salivating at the prospect of putting it all in his soon-to-be best-seller. “Civilizations have been
founded and maintained on theories which refused to obey facts,” he says. What alarming prescience for our present times. For all the mayhem, Orton has kept a tight rein on the plot. Everything ties neatly together even as we rapidly descend further into madness. Guns are drawn, blood is shed, identities are sorted out, and the mystery of what happened to a certain part of Sir Winston Churchill’s anatomy is solved, all in a gutbusting finale. What a splendid ensemble cast this is as directed by veteran Paul Mullins, who’s now in his 26th year with The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. It takes superb timing and a certain fearlessness to do this play. Everyone is willing to let it all hang out — in more ways than one. The set by Brittany Vasta, with a curious skylight, is a marvel that is instrumental in the hilarious final scene. However, there are no butlers in the play. As indicated on the website joeorton.org, “The title of the play implies voyeurism and is based on an Edwardian type of entertainment in which people viewed erotic pictures through a small lens.” In this case, the lens is expanded, and the audience is the collective voyeur. Obviously, this is not a play for “younger” folks, as a sign at the theater's entrance puts it. However, for all the risqué subject matter, the language is, by today’s less-elevated standards, somewhat tame. Thank goodness The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey let its hair down enough to give us this wild and crazy farce. It will leave you lightheaded and giddy with laughter.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert
‘Memphis’ at Kelsey Theatre
T
he first moments of “Memphis” take place in a basement R&B club in the 1950s. The scene is fun, sexy, and soulful. There is a feel that the characters on stage, all black, are in their place, singing their music, letting off their steam, and as brother and sister Felicia and Delray Farrell (played by Tamika Reed-Newman and Kyrus Keenan Westcott) lead the company through the song “Underground,” you get the feeling we’re in for something unique. We’re not. Seconds after Delray sings the line, “Ain’t no white folks here, ‘cause they‘re too damned scared,” in walks Huey Calhoun (Matt Coakley). He’s white and he isn’t scared, even if Delray’s body language (and his actual language) tell him to leave. But Huey just had to follow the music, and he had to see for himself if the woman singing is as pretty as she sounds. Huey belts “The Music of My Soul,” and its earnest lyrics: “The only thing my daddy taught/ Was white should stay with
white/ But I heard it through the alleys/ It floated on the breeze.” It turns out “Memphis,” which is being staged by Pinnworth Productions at Kelsey Theatre through Sept. 17, is less a story of black music in the ‘50s, than what that music means to a white man. It’s a run-ofthe-mill story about a poor, uneducated guy who becomes an unexpected success and then, of course, has a downfall. Huey feels at home in that club but he’s out of place everywhere else. He breaks dishes at the department store where he works, and begs the owner for a chance to work in the record department. He’s successful there, selling lots of records, but those records are black music (a worse term is used by the store owner) and Huey is fired. He makes his way to a local radio station and manages to barge his way into the booth to play the music he loves. Mr. SimTamika Reed-Newman and Matt mons, the station’s owner (Jeff Dworkin) is Coakley in “Memphis.” ready to throw a fit but the phones light up — kids love this music, and Simmons gives Huey the job. The show features songs by David Bryan, the keyboard player for Bon Jovi, and a book by Joe DiPietro. It is based on a few DJs from rock ‘n’ roll’s earliest days, but the main inspiration is Dewey Phillips, who worked in Memphis and brought a fasttalking hillbilly personality to the airwaves. This is a big show with a large cast. Coakley and Reed-Newman are the leads, and they’re very good. Coakley brings a mix of ignorance and heart to the part. He isn’t overly aggressive but he still has a sort of confidence, he knows this music is his destiny and won’t let anyone stop him from playing it. Coakley also nails his character’s funny lines, DJ speak like “Perry Como was putting me in a co-ma” and digs like “Why do good Christians annoy me?” But he shines brightest when he sings. He brings it on Huey’s first big song, “The Music of My Soul” and the transformation from dumb hillbilly to soulful singer is fun. Reed-Newman is even better, a standout whenever she sings, but especially during the powerful and dramatic “Colored Woman” and “Someday.” She’s also a good actress, and has the most in-depth role in the show. A scene where Huey’s intolerant
mother, Gladys (Mauren Hackett) breaks Felicia’s record is heartbreaking. In Reed-Newman’s hands, Felicia is hesitant about this new man she falls for, and tries to find a way where she, a black woman, and he, a white man, can be successful and live together without hiding their relationship. That’s not going to happen in Memphis in the ’50s, but Huey doesn’t want to leave. Reed-Newman also handles a scene of violence with power, she’s a victim but is never victimized. LouJ Stalsworth directed and Westcott is credited as co-director. They do a good job of moving the story along and staging some pretty elaborate numbers. There also are a lot of set changes, and they’re done smoothly. The problem is with the show itself. The story is standard and some of the music falls flat. When Huey starts playing black rock ‘n’ roll on the radio, the kids in town go crazy for it, but the music that represents that rock ’n’ roll is too Broadway-ish to be effective. But with a cast this good, you may not care, even if not all actors hit the mark. There are some show-stopping numbers by supporting performers, the first by Jerome Arthur John who plays Gator, the club’s silent bartender. (That he doesn’t speak is a hint that’s he’s going to get a big number.) His gospel-influenced “Say a Prayer” is joyous and mournful, just like gospel music is meant to be. Act 2 sees two big numbers by supporting players. Robert Harris, who plays Bobby, a customer at the club and a janitor at the radio station, knocks out the opening night crowd with the rousing “Big Love.” You’ll think that can’t be topped, but if anyone does, it’s Hackett during “Change Don’t Keep Easy.” I don’t know why “Memphis” won four Tonys, but I know why the opening night audience at Kelsey was on its feet at the show’s end.
“Memphis” is at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, through Sept. 17. For tickets and information, go to www.kelseyatmccc.org or call 609-570-3333.

Cheers for George Wendt! The sitcom legend is playing the villain in ‘Rock and Roll Man’ at the Bucks County Playhouse
W
hen the character of J. Edgar Hoover first appears on the Bucks County Playhouse stage in the world premiere production of a new musical, “Rock and Roll Man: The Alan Freed Story,” audience members might have the urge to call out, “Norm!” That’s because veteran sitcom actor George Wendt, best known for playing the lovable, beer drinking, nevermet-a-tab he would pay Norm Peterson for 11 seasons on “Cheers,” is playing the historical figure. “I’m always flattered when people remember me, and it is almost always because of ‘Cheers,’ but I don’t think it gets in the way for more than five seconds,” Wendt says. “With each new piece that I get involved in, the train is leaving the station and they just hop on board, and forget that I was Norm.” After “Cheers” ended its run in 1993, Wendt continued to work on TV, including leading his own series, “The George Wendt Show” in 1995. He also guested on numerous comedies, and starring opposite Disney Queen Ashley Tisdale in the 2015 workplace comedy, “Clipped.” Some of Wendt’s fans might be surprised to know that he also is something of a theatrical veteran, appearing on Broadway in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Art” “Elf” and “Hairspray.” He also played Juror #1 in a national tour of “Twelve Angry Men,” and is a veteran of Chicago’s Second City comedy troupe. “I really enjoy doing musicals and each time I do one, I am reminded in a very up-close-and-personal way of how inadequate my background is for musical theater,” Wendt says. “Most of the stuff I get to do is where the singing is less important because I can hit the odd note, but there’s no nuance at all. I like to say, ‘I can’t sing and I can’t dance but I will do what I’m told.’” In “Rock and Roll Man: The Alan Freed Story,” Tony nominee Alan Campbell (“Sunset Boulevard”) plays the title character of the legendary disk jockey who died in obscurity and poverty in 1965 after a tumultuous career in which he introduced rock ‘n’ roll to the world and broke racial barriers. Anyone who knows history, knows that despite those triumphs, Freed also dealt with crushing setbacks and crises as the center of the great payola scandal of the late

1950s and a target of Hoover and the FBI, partly because rock ‘n’ roll seemed so threatening. He died at the age of 43 from uremic poisoning. The show is basically a fever dream of Alan Freed’s last night on earth after sadly drinking himself to death. Randal Mylar directs the production and the musical includes original songs by Gary Kupper, a book by Kupper and Larry Marshak with Rose Caiola. It also features some classics from the period by the likes of Little Richard, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. “I’ve worked with Randal before and he always has
really interesting projects and the subject matter here is terrific,” Wendt says. “Our culture from the ‘50s and ‘60s in regards to rhythm and blues being introduced to white audiences and becoming the phenomenon that is rock ‘n’ roll.” Wendt was also drawn to the fact that it was a new work and he would be getting to play a role that hadn’t been done before. “I’m always interested in work in general, so when I hear of an offer, I’m automatically interested as long as I am available,” he says. “Plus, I’ve always heard about Bucks County Playhouse and I wanted to get in on the fun.” Wendt was young when Freed died, and although he knew a little about his story, he wasn‘t familiar with the role Hoover had on his life. “I didn’t really get it back then,” Wendt says. “At least in our play, Hoover sort of invented this payola scandal to squelch interracial socializing because he thought it was leading to the downfall of traditional American values. It was sexy. It’s been well documented that Hoover himself had issues with his sexuality, and he saw this all as a threat.” For the role, Wendt didn’t deal with any of that speculative part of Hoover’s life, saying it doesn’t really serve the play. “Hoover is really a straight-up villain in this piece and there’s no sympathy for his personal life, really,” he says. “It informs me to know he was very smart and very fearful his whole life of being outed probably. But this is not the J. Edgar Hoover story.” Playing a villain is something new for Wendt, whose career has mostly been spent playing the lovable guy. “Sometimes directors will try to cast against type and like to consider unlikely people playing villains,” Wendt says. “Hoover doesn’t consider himself a villain, he considers himself in the right.” “Rock and Roll Man: The Alan Freed Story” is at the Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, Pennsylvania, through Oct. 1. Tickets cost $40-$75; bcptheater.org; 215-862-2121.

ATLANTIC CITY By Mike Morsch
From Prog to Pop and Rock Ambrosia will play its classic hits at Harrah’s in Atlantic City
A
mbrosia had some success with its first two progressive rock albums, but didn’t make much money. In fact, the band was broke. It was the mid-1970s and the band members — guitarist/vocalist David Pack, bassist/vocalist Joe Puerta, keyboardist Chris North and drummer Burleigh Drummond — would work in the studio every day, then look for bar gigs in the evenings. “One block from the studio was this funky little bar that we would go play every night to be able to eat,” sauys Drummond, who in 1970 joined Ambrosia after filling out a 3x5 card with his information for Musicians Contract Service, a referral agency in Los Angeles that brought musicians and bands together. The bar was called the Hialeah House in Sun Valley, California, and it attracted a big lesbian clientele. “We became favorites there and they wanted R&B music. All the R&B of the day, like the Spinners and Aretha Franklin,” Drummond says. “We were doing more and more of that. And we did it for years, every night. So it kind of crept into our DNA.” The band members began writing songs that had more of an R&B groove, different from the prog rock that had influenced earlier work and first two albums, the self-title “Ambrosia” in 1975 and “Somewhere I’ve Never Travelled” in 1976. “In a sense, playing in that bar every night influenced our writing and made us appreciate other things, which started being reflected in the songs we were bringing in to practice,” Drummond says. The band had covered the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” for the 1976 musical documentary “All This and World War II,” the soundtrack of which consisted of different groups covering Beatles songs. “I’m not saying it was the most profound concept, and the movie did not do well,” Drummond says. “I think I’m the only one in the band who even saw the movie. It played in an art theater for a couple nights. And being that we were in our
The current lineup of Ambrosia will play a show at Harrahʼs in Atlantic City, Sept. 21. prog-ish days then, ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ seemed like the most exciting one for us to do.” But it wasn’t until the band’s next two albums — “Life Beyond L.A.” in 1978 and “One Eighty” in 1980 — that it moved away from its prog rock arrangements and toward a more aggressive R&B influence. And the hits started to roll in for Ambrosia. “Life Beyond L.A.” featured the band’s first Top 10 single, “How Much I Feel,” written by Pack. It peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and got to No. 2 and stayed there for three weeks on the Cash Box Top 100 singles chart. The album itself would get to No. 19 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. “One Eighty” — named so because Ambrosia had done a 180-degree change in its musical direction and because it had been recorded in January 1980 — yielded two more Top 20 hits. “You’re the Only Woman (You & I)” reached No. 13 on the Billboard
Hot 100 singles chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart; and “Biggest Part of Me” reached No. 3 on both the Billboard Hot 100 singles and Adult Contemporary charts. Pack wrote both songs. Drummond had a feeling that “Biggest Part of Me” was going to be a hit when he first heard it. “When Dave came in, he played the first couple of chords and it was like, ‘Yeahhhhh.’ It’s funny because when we were auditioning for producers for ‘One Eighty,’ we went through all the big ones,” Drummond says. “And we had another song that we were rehearsing at the time, ‘Crying in the Rain.’ And they were all picking that song. Nothing against that song — I wrote it and was happy that everyone was impressed by it. There’s nothing wrong with that song, but we kept saying, ‘Are you not hearing “Biggest Part of Me?” Did you not hear that?’ Because it was obvious to the band what it was. The band understood the song
more than anyone else.” Those two albums and those three singles would be the biggest commercial success the band would have in its heyday. Today, three original members of Ambrosia — Drummond, Puerta and North — still tour and have been a popular draw on many “yacht rock” shows. The band will be featured in a full concert of its own at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, Sept. 21. Joining the three original members in the band’s current lineup are Ken Stacey on acoustic guitar and vocals, Doug Jackson on guitar and vocals, and Drummond’s wife, Mary Harris on keyboards and vocals. “After going through personnel changes for about 10 years, we finally have settled on a group of people who are very compatible,” Drummond says. “We’re excited to create new music, so that’s where we are now. We’re working on a new record. And we want to have another golden age and celebrate as much as we can while we still can.” And Drummond likes what he hears from the current lineup. “In the 1970s, we were America’s answer to the English prog like Genesis and King Crimson and Yes,” he says. “We were bringing that from the American side, but still were very influenced by those bands. I think the one thing Ambrosia always had — and I’m not saying the other bands didn’t — is that we always had a song and we always had a melody. We were never progressives to the point where it was just notes and seeing how fast we could play them. “I hear the music we’re creating now and I’m really, really excited about it. The prog and the pop are kind of coming together. Actually, I call Ambrosia a progrock-pop band now because it’s all coming together and working.”
Ambrosia wll perform at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.caesars.com/harrahs-ac.

Pam Hersh
Artistic treasure at Dohm Alley Michael Mahoney’s chimney sculpture is one of the newest additions to the community project A funny thing happened on my way to the High Line — New York’s public arts and recreation space on the west side of the city. While walking to the Dinky station, I got waylaid by an equally amazing public arts and recreation project in the center of Princeton, at ground level, in an alley, specifically Dohm Alley between Landau’s and Starbuck’s off of Nassau Street. I looked around in awe, introduced myself to Michael Mahoney, the artist who was sculpting a chimney as we talked, and decided I would forgo a trip to a New York cultural treasure and enjoy the gem that has come to life in the past few weeks in my hometown. Most Princetonians over the past year have read about the Design at Dohm Alley project, conceived and implemented by a team of Princeton creative geniuses, who have converted a barren, ugly, urban space (as was the High Line space, the site of the elevated rail tracks on New York’s west side) into a delicious arts and cultural feast for the senses and a town/gown link with staying power. I recommend that residents make a weekly pilgrimage to the alley to view the ongoing transformation. The artistic banquet thus far comprises: sculptures of Romantic poets with explanatory notes; high-bowed arches; hand-crafted wooden benches; floral ‘moon gate’ archway; stone pathway; chimney sculpture accompanied by a painting above the chimney; metal Adam and Eve figurines; a soon-to-bebuilt water feature; and (in the near future) rotating multi-media exhibits serving as a two-way street connecting the town and gown communities. The exhibits will share the academic richness of Princeton University’s arts and cultural offerings with the town’s residents, as well as share the history and culture of the town with members of the university community. While admiring Michael Mahoney’s handiwork of crafting a chimney façade over an unattractive traffic control box, I noticed a gentleman strolling down the alley reading the Romantic poets’ information sheets and taking notes. He told me that an earlier visit to Dohm Alley inspired him to go home and read poems by the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Now, he was absorbing the information about John Keats.
Michael Mahoney and Eva Belle, the youngest of his four children, at Dohm Alley. Mahoney explained that the greatness of the transformed alleyway goes beyond the aesthetic pleasure of viewing beautiful public art on the outside. It is what the art is doing for people on the inside. “We’re connecting people to one another at a time when people today are so involved in themselves,” he said. “As I have been working in the alley I have seen people lift their heads from their devices and actually have a conversation with strangers about what they are seeing. “The art has the potential to transform the entire dynamic of the town — to take the emphasis away from the self and to focus on the whole community. . . . From what I understand, the rotating exhibits are intended to
educate and generate conversation. I have met seven or eight new friends, just since I have been sitting here and working in the alley.” Mahoney heads his own construction management consulting firm, Argus Guild, LLC. His enthusiasm for Dohm Alley is linked not only to his skills in the field of construction, but also to his soul as a philosopher, poet, author, singer (for years he was the lead singer for a now-defunct, progressive rock band), lyricist, and artist who works with cement and other building materials. Mahoney recently joined the Dohm Alley team after he was recruited by landscape designer and installation artist Peter Soderman, one of the principals of the Dohm Alley proj-
ect and the person who hovers over his labor of love on a daily basis. “Peter offered me the chimney challenge,” Mahoney said. “He wanted me to create a chimney to go with a painting [by Emma Brigaud] that had the feel of 19th-century England, Dickens style, the bleak existence of children who were chimney sweeps. He needed the traffic control utility box covered, but it had to be more than any old cover. It had to be a piece of art. I had no idea what I was doing. But I like a challenge so I accepted.” Soderman and Mahoney met in 2006, when Mahoney was a creative force in the Hulfish North Palmer Square public art project Quark Park, which came into existence a few years after the Writers Block Public Art installation at the same location. At the time, Mahoney was heading up the construction of the Residences at Palmer Square on Hulfish North and then the renovation of the Nassau Inn. After graduating from Fordham University as a philosophy major, he fancied a life as an itinerant writer in the tradition of counterculture, iconic author and journalist Hunter S. Thompson. For survival reasons, he ended up in construction — the profession of his father and grandfather and in a career that he never envisioned for himself. He has managed to retain his funky artsy core and even enhanced his creative side by becoming facile with construction materials and sharpening his engineering skills. Even though Mahoney has completed his artful cement work, he said he intends to “help Peter with whatever other installations need to be installed and any other management tasks as needed. There is still plenty to do, and unless they throw me out, I plan to be there to the end. The alley is just an inspiring, uplifting place to be.” It’s a place that is a high point, if not a High Line, in Princeton’s public art scene. Design at Dohm Alley, a project of Princeton Future, should have most of its permanent exhibits in place by the end of September or early October, and then will go forward with the rotating multi-media exhibits. Anyone interested in contributing to the project in order to sustain its future can find out more at www.dohmalley.org.
A Funny Lady Comes Home Princeton’s Carley Moseley is coming home as a member of Second City for a show benefitting the Princeton Senior Resource Center By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor Comedy is a funny business, one that comes with challenges. For instance, let’s say you‘re a member of a comedy troupe that depends, in part, on topical humor. And let’s say there’s a president who said and does things that are . . . unusual on a daily basis. Sure, that provides lots of material for comedy, but it also means yesterday’s joke can be old news today. That’s where the members of The Second City touring group find themselves as they head to the area for a performance at the Performing Arts Center of Princeton High School, Sept. 24. But troupe member Carley Moseley said Second City’s mix of sketch and improv are well suited to today’s dizzying news cycle. “I think that’s why our specific model of building comedy benefits so much from being really strongly coming from an improv background,” Moseley said. “Whether it’s changing a line or two to make it reflect what just happened in the news, or we improvise a scene based on suggestions of things that happened that day, and then take that improv and go home and write that scene and develop it and run it for the next week or month or day, depending on what Trump said next, unfortunately. I think an audience just loves to see improv because it’s fun and exciting when you’re watching something being built in front of you.” The concert will benefit the Princeton Senior Resource Center and will be a homecoming for Moseley, who grew up Princeton and graduated from Princeton High School. She even performed in shows at the school, though not on the current stage at the auditorium, which was built after she

Carley Moseley, pictured second from left, is a member of a touring company for the famed Second City comedy performance group. graduated. “I did have my heyday at the Princeton High School Theater,” Moseley said. “I did a Motown rendition of ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ in which I played Moth who’s kind of the androgynous comic relief. My drama teacher and the director, Miss [Pat] Wray was infinitely patient with my complete inability to do any of the Motown singing and dancing. But she was kind enough to put me in the show, so I was on that stage a couple of times.” Second City is the famed sketch comedy-improv group that is based in Chicago, and also has stages in Toronto and Los Angeles, as well as touring groups. It has launched the careers of dozens of comedy legends, particularly “Saturday Night Live” vets such as John Belushi, Billy Murray, Mike Myers, Tina Fey, and other actors such as Steve Carell, Martin Short and Stephen Colbert, just to name a few. Moseley had worked for the company as a writer and on cruise ship shows before joining the tour
about a year ago. Last year, she performed at NJPAC in Newark, and this show will be the first time she’s performed in Princeton as as member of Second City. “The only downside is whenever we go on tour we end up having less time in the actual place,” Moseley said. “People think of touring as, ‘Oh you go to all these cool places and you see these great things.’ And that’s certainly true but most of our time [is spent] in the venue doing checks and running the lights, then we do the show and the next day we kind of leave. But I’ve mapped out a couple of hot spots. If Chuck’s Spring Street Café is open, I’m going to take everyone for Buffalo wings and I’m hoping the hours of Halo Pub allow for an ice cream visit, and hopefully some Small World Coffee. Luckily, everything is about 6 feet from each other so I can be efficient with my cravings.” The show will be a combination of written material,in which improv is added to varying degrees, and a segment where cast members do pure im-
prov based on audience suggestions. Moseley said that while Second City is ready to take on politics — she praised cast member Scott Nelson’s impressions of Donald Trump and Barack Obama — she noted that political humor is just one part of what Second City does. “The last thing we want to do is talk about him,” Moseley said. “It’s inevitable and it‘s impossible to not talk about what he’s doing but at the same time, I think we also feel he gets enough attention. He gets enough time and this is our time and we’re not going to drag this audience through 40 minutes about Trump. . . I think we try to comment on it and provide a little distance from it at the same time.” Moseley said she’s gotten more comfortable and confident after a year on tour, and that writing and performing are like any other skill. “The more you do them the better you get,” she said. “I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be honing my skills continually in front of audiences. The audiences we get tend to be great and receptive. I’m also lucky that the cast is fantastic and we get along really well together. Like any other job, working with your coworkers is important, and I’d argue it’s just as, if not more, important for us because we spend all of our time in a van together, in addition to writing and performing together.” The Second City will perform a benefit concert for the Princeton Senior Resource Center at the Performing Arts Center at Princeton High School, 151 Moore St., Princeton, Sept. 24, 4 p.m. Tickets cost $38-$75.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Jody Kashden, Ph.D.
With the kids back in class, don’t dismiss school refusal
With a new school year underway, most children are settling into their classrooms and starting their back-to-school routines. Many children experience school-related anxiety, but for some this anxiety can be overwhelming and lead to school refusal. In fact, school refusal affects between 1 and 5 percent of children, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Common in young children School refusal is when a child refuses to attend school or has difficulty staying in school because of emotional or psychological difficulties. This can include a child who is completely
absent, a child who goes to school and leaves early, one who attends after significant resistance, or a child who displays unusual distress at school. School refusal affects girls and boys and is most common in children ages 56 and 10-11, though it can develop at any age. Often children who refuse to go school are otherwise compliant, well-behaved children who are academically above average. Why children refuse school Children may refuse to go to school to avoid something negative, such as bullying. They may be attempting to evade a stressful situation like a big test or
an awkward social encounter. In some instances, children may refuse to go to school because they are rewarded with something positive like parental attention when they stay at home. Younger children who refuse to go to school may fear being separated from their parents or the comforts of home. Further, school refusal may be linked to family stress such as financial difficulties, loss of a loved one, parental separation or family dysfunction.
Physical and emotional symptoms Children who refuse to Different from truancy go to school may exhibit School refusal differs physical and emotional from truancy in that chilsymptoms including: dren who refuse to attend • Nausea and vomiting school actually want to go but cannot due to severe emotional distress. They typically stay home and their parents know their whereabouts. Truants, on the other hand, have no excessive anxiety, do not typically stay home and they conceal their absences from parents. Typically truants’ absences are intermittent while children who refuse to go to school are absent for blocks of time.

Consequences of school refusal In the short term, school refusal can cause children to fall behind in their schoolwork, and lead to difficulty with family and peers. Left untreated, school refusal can have lifelong consequences. It can contribute to low self-esteem, generalized anxiety, and decreased independence. Research shows that children who chronically re-
fuse to go to school are more likely to drop out. They are also at increased risk for psychiatric care as adults. Chronic school refusers are more likely to have employment difficulties as well as substance abuse problems. Chronic school refusal can have serious consequences, which is why it is important to address it early when it is easiest to treat. Returning to the classroom is key Although it is natural for children to avoid what makes them anxious, it is not a good way to reduce anxiety. Simply put: avoidance should be avoided. If a child avoids what makes him or her anxious, the anxiety will not go away. It will tend to remain, and can even grow. The longer a child is out of school the harder it will be to go back. What helps anxiety the most is exposure. If you are concerned about your child’s refusal to go to school, talk to your child’s teachers or guidance counselor and have your child assessed by a physician or mental healthcare provider. Treatment for school refusal typically involves gradual exposure to help the child gain tolerance for what he or she is anxious about, such as taking a test, finding a seat in the cafeteria, or riding the bus. Other behavioral strategies include relaxation training, contingency management, social skills training, and mindfulness practice. If you find your child is struggling with school re-
fusal and needs more support than your school can provide, you may wish to seek the support of more intensive behavioral health treatment, such as the treatment provided at Princeton House Behavioral Health. Princeton House’s specialized child and adolescent treatment services help children and teens who are having trouble functioning at school, at home, or with peers work through anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse and other issues and develop healthy coping skills. Princeton House offers full-day customized partial hospital programs and halfday intensive outpatient programs at its outpatient centers in Hamilton, North Brunswick and Moorestown. The Teen Girls’ Program is available at Princeton House’s Princeton site, and provides a supportive and safe environment for girls ages 13 to 18 to explore developmental issues, build confidence, and develop positive coping skills as they transition into young adulthood. For more information about child and adolescent treatment services at Princeton House, go to www.princetonhouse.org or call 888-437-1610. To find a physician with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7496.

Let’s all go the movies The Princeton Garden’s busy full schedule includes a day devoted to indie theaters By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor
In addition to current independent releases, the Princeton Garden movie theater offers special programming for film buffs all year long, and this fall seems to offer more than usual. “We’re pretty packed. I’d say we have about four special events, on average, a week,” said Mike Kamison, the Garden’s assistant programmer. “So there are going to be different special screenings; we’re teaming up with a lot of different organizations in the Princeton community.” Those partnerships include the Princeton Public Library, the Lewis Center for the Arts and Princeton University Art Museum. “We’ve just had really successful relationships that have developed over the past couple of years,” Kamison said. “People now look at our theater, I believe, more as a community theater, a place where we share films and also engage in conversation or promote events that are going on in other spaces in the neighborhood. I think that’s just something people really want to get involved with, and I get excited when the art museum wants to team up or the Lewis Center wants to team up. So we share ideas back and forth and land on some cool screenings that we think people will enjoy.” One event the theater is participating in is Art House Theater Day, Sept. 24. Art House Theater Day is organized by the Art House Convergence, an organization that helps promote independent movie houses throughout the country. On that day, distributors offer new restorations and other films for theaters to show for free. This year, the Garden will screen “A Matter of Life and Death,” the 1946 movie written, produced and directed by British filmmaker Michael Powell and Hungarian filmmaker Emeric Pressburger. In the movie Peter Carter (played by David Niven) is a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force whose plane is crashing. He orders his crew to bail and save themselves. What he doesn’t tell them is that his parachute has been destroyed and that his fate is sealed. He makes contact with June (Kim Hunter), an American radio operator and spends his last few minutes talking with her and asking her to tell his mother and sisters that he loves them. The plane crashes, and Peter should have died but the heavens miss him because of fog. He wakes up on a beach, which he thinks is the afterlife, but he’s actually alive. In the United States, the film was released as “A Stairway to Heaven.” “It’s a really imaginative half black-andwhite half color from the ‘40s, from World War
David Niven and Kim Hunter star in “A Matter of Life and Death,” which the Princeton Garden Theatre will show on Art House Theater Day, Sept. 24. II,” Kamison said of the movie, which was originally released in the U.S. as “Stairway to Heaven. “That’s going to be our big event at 4 p.m. and it’s free for anybody who wants to attend.” At 11 a.m., the Garden will show Warner Bros. cartoons from 1938 to 1953, featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety and others. “During that time we’ll also be doing a behind the scenes tour,” Kamison said. “We’ll be doing tours of the projection booth so that they can see what it looks like from our viewpoint.” Other special events planned for the fall include a Sept. 18 screening of “8 Borders, 8 Days,” a documentary about a Syrian single mother and her two young children who are denied resettlement in the U.S. and escape across the sea on a raft. The free screening is sponsored by the Princeton Public Library and is part of the university’s Welcoming Week events. Also planned are showings of two films starring Michael Shannon, the two-time Oscar-nominated actor who is appearing in McCarter Theater’s staging of Sam Shepard’s play “Simpatico.” The 2014 movie “99 Homes” will be shown Sept. 23, and “Take Shelter” (2011) will be shown Sept. 27. On Sept. 26, the Garden will screen “A River Runs Through It,” Robert Redfords’ 1992 adaptation of Norman Maclean’s story of brothers
and fly fishing. The screening is co-sponsored by Orvis, and a representative from the store will demonstrate fly fishing prior to the film. On Oct. 4, the theater will present the Oscar winner, “A Beautiful Mind,” Ron Howard’s film about Princeton mathematician John Nash and his struggles with mental health. Co-sponsored by the Historical Society of Princeton, the movie will be followed by a talk with Nash’s son John Stier, and Princeton University professor emeritus Joseph Kohn. For the Garden’s Prof Picks series, professors and educators from area universities and colleges present a film that relates to their field of study. After the movie, the educators host a Q&A. This fall, the series will feature “Hairspray” (the non-musical, directed by John Waters), Oct. 10, presented by Brian Herrera, an assistant professor of theater at Princeton University. Next up is “Night of the Living Dead,” Oct. 26, with Princeton University psychology professor Nathaniel Daw. On Nov. 30, the series will offer “Snowpiercer,” the climate changethemed science fiction thriller, presented by Ruha Benjamin, assistant professor of sociology at Princeton University. “This year, I was really excited by the picks that the different professors have brought to us,” Kamison said. “It’s a kind of weird, all-over-theplace mix but they’re all really great films. I’m
a big fan of them so I’m really excited about all three.” Another tradition at the Garden are presentations of silent films accompanied by live music from Not So Silent Cinema. Just in time for Halloween, the theater will host “Phantom of the Opera,” the 1925 classic starring Lon Chaney, with a new score by Brendan Cooney. Another Halloween-themed night of music and film will take place Oct. 30 with a screening of 1962’s “Carnival of Souls” with an original score performed live by musician Adam Sterr, who often plays viola outside the Garden. “He wrote an original score for ‘Carnival of Souls,’ which is kind of a cult film that has been adopted by the art house community,” Kamison said. “It’s a really cool movie from the ‘60s, so he’s going to be playing inside the theater for once, right before Halloween, and we’re really excited about that as well.” Classic films also are part of special programming. Upcoming screenings include John Huston’s “The Asphalt Jungle” on Oct. 11. The theater also will show two films starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall: “To Have and Have Not,” Oct. 19 and “Key Largo,” Nov. 2. Nov. 14 will offer a double bill of silent-era classics: “A Trip to the Moon” and Charlie Chaplin’s “The Kid.” The concert movie classic, “Stop Making Sense” starring Talking Heads will be shown Nov. 16 and “The Philadelphia Story” starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart will be screened Nov. 21. Another change is to the theater’s children’s film series, which used to involve weekly screenings Saturday mornings from fall to spring. The new format sees monthly screenings all year round, including “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” Oct. 7 and “The Adventures of Tintin,” Nov. 4. December will see weekly holiday movie screenings: “Elf” on Dec. 2; “The Polar Express,” Dec. 9; “Miracle on 34th St.,” Dec. 16 and “Home Alone” Dec. 23. “Our kids series is really ramping up for us,” Kamison said. “We kind of changed it around a little bit from last year. We used to show them every Saturday, now we’re going to be doing them once a month and we’re going to be expanding them a little bit. There are going to be more events surrounding the kids series. Rather than just coming and sitting and watching a classic movie or a new kids film, there are going to be events beforehand, and activities that tie into the film.”

The Week of Friday, September 15, 2017
Learning, and teaching Elizet Moralez-Perez is making her mark through a fellowship about conservation and clean water Growing up in the Trenton area, Elizet Moralez-Perez was not especially connected to nature. “I never took the time to explore the outdoors,” she said. “I thought city life could only offer city things. How much I was missing out on — trails, parks and so much more.” All that changed when she served as a Delaware River Watershed Fellow at the Tulpehaking Nature Center of the Abbott Marshlands this summer. She is continuing in the role through the coming fall. “It’s been an eye-opening experience,” Moralez-Perez said. “It taught me how to connect with my community, and to inspire and guide them to fall in love with, care for and utilize nature and nature centers created for us.” “We are excited that Elizet is bilingual,” said Tulpehaking Nature Center Director Kelly Rypkema. “A large proportion of the community surrounding the nature center is Spanish speaking, and Elizet can reach out to them. As a greeter to the nature center, she could see that, for example, one mom and her two kids were not understanding English so she switched to Spanish. The mom’s face lit up — she was able to have the conversation, and we were able to make that important connection.” D&R Greenway and the Tulpehaking Nature Center are working together on the William Penn Foundation’s Alliance for Watershed Education of the Delaware River. This network of 23 environmental education centers from Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey is aimed at increasing awareness of the importance of the Delaware River watershed, a 13,500square-mile system that provides drinking water for 15 million people. It includes public opportunities to explore, enjoy and engage in activities on their local waterways with the ultimate goal of advancing protection of this critical resource. The 23 centers that form the Alliance are all physically connected by the Circuit Trails, the Greater Philadelphia region’s 750-mile multi-use trail network, and trails that connect throughout the entire watershed. Using their centers and nearby trails as assets, the Alliance will create and collectively deliver fun, engaging programs to this untapped audience of thousands of visitors on the Delaware River and its tributaries. The Delaware River Watershed Fellowship is a paid, 12week internship at one of the 23 environmental centers, aimed at engaging young people in the surrounding communities to become ambassadors for the Delaware River. The fellows assist in environmental programming, recreation activities on the trail and waterways, habitat enhancement projects and community outreach and engagement. The program is intended for youth ages 18 to 24. “The Environmental Fellowship Program is a promising way to engage young adults, many without any previous environmental training or education, in conservation efforts,” said D&R Greenway President & CEO Linda Mead. “To ensure clean water for the future, it’s important for conservationists to mobilize the next generation. The summer fellowship program leverages the potential for these young people to become ambassadors for clean water and learn how they can involve local communities in contributing to the health of the watershed.”
ing in future will have the brochure in Spanish.” Rypkema said she is growing as Moralez-Perez grows. “It’s rewarding to see someone who came in with an interest grow in her knowledge and excitement,” Rypkema said. “It makes me take stock and realize the background of knowledge I draw upon to do my job without thinking about it, trying to bring her up to speed so she feels comfortable. My relationship with her will help me make better connections in the future.” Moralez-Perez will continue her involvement after the fellowship ends. “After the fellowship, I plan to continue my education,” she said. “At the beginning of the program I was unsure of what direction I wanted to take in life. Working alongside with Kelly gave me a better understanding, not only in what I want to do but also in how to accomplish my goals. My journey doesn’t end after the fellowship. I will continue inspiring others that might be in the same place as I was in the start of the program. For that I am most thankful.”
Elizet Moralez-Perez of Trenton is a Delaware River Watershed Fellow at the Tulpehaking Nature Center of the Abbott Marshlands in Hamilton. Fellows gain an understanding of what it takes to develop and run an environmental education program, from planning to marketing. Regular activities at Tulpehaking Nature Center include building relationships with community groups, and leading hands-on programs about archaeology, fishing, wildlife and other topics appropriate to the Abbott Marshlands. While the focus for the position is on environmental education, the fellow also participates in animal care, trail maintenance and conservation projects such as monitoring water quality and aquatic insect populations in the marsh. A full introduction to the plants, wildlife, archaeology and Native American history of the Abbott Marshlands is provided. Part of Moralez-Perez’s training included a three-day “boot camp” in the Poconos. “The first day was the scariest — it was my first time going somewhere alone,” she said. “Learning that I wasn’t the only fellow feeling that way eased my nerves. We connected so much in only three days, it was almost impossible to say goodbye. I learned how important and meaningful this program is, and how honored I am to be a part of it.” “Elizet goes out with our naturalist staff and helps interpret the outdoors with kids who are visiting,” Rypkema said. “She is also translating a self-guided brochure, so anyone com-

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.
