Taking the fight to the opioid epidemic Town hall offers overview, outlines steps being taken By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Let there be no mistake. The opioid epidemic is real, and it is here. That was the message delivered to attendees at the Knock Out Opioid Abuse Town Hall meeting at the East Windsor Senior Center Monday night. Offering an overview of the epidemic and the response to it, the meeting was sponsored by East Windsor Township, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, the Mercer Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the East Windsor Municipal Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse and the Prevention Coalition of Mercer County. Setting the stage for the Town Hall meeting, Mayor Janice Mironov outlined the steps that East Windsor Township has taken to try to stem the problem - from the after-prom party for high school students, to the D.A.R.E. program for younger children and the drop box at the Police Department for unwanted or expired drugs. Tammy Leigh, the assistant director of emergency services at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, put the issue in perspective by noting that 62,000 people died from drug overdoses nationwide in 2015 - and another 500,000 people could die from it in the next decade. It is the leading cause of death among those under 50 years old. To prevent potential addiction, emergency room physicians at the Hamilton Township hospital will not prescribe more than a five-day supply of opioid painkillers, Leigh said. The doctors’ logs are reviewed frequently to ensure that the drugs are not being over-prescribed. But emergency rooms and doctors’ offices are not the only place where opioids can be obtained. There is plenty of it on the streets in the larger cities and in Trenton, as well, said Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri. Heroin is a significant problem because it is cheaper than a pill, and it is readily available on the streets, Onofri said. Pills are much more expensive than a “deck” of heroin, which is about the size of a sugar packet.

Add to that the availability of Narcan, which is used to reverse overdoses and save lives, and it has become “somewhat of an invitation” to try heroin, Onofri said. Yet, there should not be a stigma in asking for help, he said. All of the county prosecutors in New Jersey talk about addiction recovery and how to help addicts. “We will never arrest or prosecute our way out of addiction,” Onofri said, despite the frequent drug busts and raids carried out by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and the local police departments. Assemblyman Dan Benson (D14th Legislative District), who sat on the panel, pointed to landmark legislation that attempted to address the drug problem - making Narcan available to first responders, and assuring that someone who calls to report a possible drug overdose will not be prosecuted for doing so. Now, state lawmakers may be faced with the decision to legalize marijuana, Benson said. It is not true that everyone who uses marijuana will go on to use other illegal drugs, but some will do so. He has not decided on his stance on the issue of legalization. “We have a lot of work to do,” Benson said. Barbara Sprechman of the Prevention Coalition of Mercer County pointed out an overlooked source of prescription painkillers the medicine chest in houses that are for sale. Realtors are being made aware to advise their clients - the homeowners - that they should lock the medicine chest when the house is being shown to prospective buyers during an open house, Sprechman said. Anyone who has access to the house also has access to the medicine chest, she said. The same is true of the home of a recently deceased person, Sprechman said. People read the obituary notices and learn the time of the funeral, and that’s when the house may be burglarized to steal pills - especially if the person who died had been ill. Overall, if steps can be taken to prevent a young person from experimenting with drugs or alcohol until he or she is at least 19 years old, they are less likely to become

drugs and alcohol as a pre-teen, and now he works with addicts who want to kick their habit. Mincarelli advised parents to check their child’s cellphone and to check on their child‘s bedroom for evidence of drug use, such as

drug paraphernalia. “You have the right as a parent to be a parent. If I am going to hurt your feelings to save your life, I’m going to hurt your feelings,” Mincarelli said, advising parents to disregard a child’s protestations.

East Windsor OKs contract with municipal employees By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

East Windsor Township municipal employees will receive salary increases that average 1.8 percent over the life of a four-year contract approved by Township Council. Township Council approved the four-year contract between the township and the Communication Workers of America Local 1032, which covers 2016 through 2019, at its Sept. 12 meeting. Police officers are not represented by the CWA. Township Council also intro-

duced a companion salary ordinance that covers the CWA union members. Some are full-time employees and others work part-time. Final action on the ordinance will occur at a subsequent meeting. During the first year of the contract, which covered 2016, union members received salary increases of 1.5 percent. In 2017, it rises to 1.75 percent. In the final two years of the contract, it is 2 percent for 2018 and 2 percent for 2019. For example, a clerk typist 1 will earn between $31,062 and $38,915 for 2016. By the final

year of the agreement, the salary range is $32,882 to $41,196. The Senior Citizen Program Coordinator will earn between $50,018 and $62,663 for 2016, and between $52,950 and $66,336 in the last year of the agreement. The Building Inspector, the Public Health Investigator and the Zoning Officer/Commercial Maintenance Inspector/Fire Inspector will be paid between $55,068 and $68,993 in 2016. In the final year, the salary range for those positions is $58,295 to $72,973. There are additional job titles

that are covered by the CWA contract. Full-time and part-time employees hired before Aug. 25, 2014, also are eligible for longevity pay. Part-time employees are paid on a pro-rata basis. The amount of longevity is based on the number of years of service, beginning with $779 for someone who has worked for the township for at least five years. Longevity pay tops out at $2,547 for an employee who has worked for East Windsor Township for at least 19 years and one month.

Poland trip increases emotional understanding of Holocaust By Steve Guggenheim Correspondent

“Why do you want to go?” “It’s someplace I don’t want to go to, but need to go to.” That was the conversation between Beth El Synagogue Cantor Larry Brandspiegel and his mother ahead of his recent trip to Poland, the country his parents emigrated from. Brandspiegel and his wife Laura were part of a group sponsored by the Jewish group Ramah that went to Poland this summer that visited several of the country’s notorious concentration camps. The cantor told a group at the East Windsor synagogue that it was a place he needed to see even though he would not be able to go to his ancestral home. He had to see Poland partly because of his roots, but also as a Jewish educator to be able to teach others about what happened during the Holocaust. It was a very emotional trip not just for him, but for all those who went. When getting off the plane in Warsaw he hesitated to actually

put his foot down on Polish soil because emotionally it hit everyone this it the land where millions were killed. Jews came to Poland in the 10th century. The name Poland means place to rest and this is what they needed at the time . . . a place to get away from problems they experienced in other countries. From what was a large and thriving Jewish community in the centuries that followed is far different today, with only three active synagogues and just 4,000 Jews. In Warsaw the group visited a synagogue and then a thriving kosher restaurant. Surprised to see such a restaurant the owner told him virtually all who eat there are Jewish tourists. One of the early excursions was to the Heroes Trail, which is part of the ghetto where Jews lived and were rounded up. The canot said it was extremely emotional to touch the parts of the wall that are still standing that surrounded the area. The second day took them to Tykocin, Poland, where they visited a second century synagogue that is being restored by local art

students. Brandspiegel said in every synagogue they visited they prayed andfelt God was with them in each religious institution. In one of the most emotional times of an extremely emotional trip, the group walked to a courtyard where Jews were rounded up. They followed the trail where Jews were marched. They came to an open field which was a destroyed Jewish cemetery and continued walking to the forest on the other side. The Beth El Cantor says this is where all of those on the forced march were stopped and slaughtered - 3,000 adults and 1,000 children. The forest has thousands of trees and he says each one represents a life that was taken there. Another day took them to the concentration camp Treblinka. The group saw a field with train tracks that were rebuilt to show how the Jews were transported there. Brandspiegel said there are 17,000 stones, each one indicating a town where people came from. Unlike other camps there were no barracks for people to live. Treblinka was a place for

killing. They came, they were slaughtered. At another camp, Majdanek, the group saw large storage centerr: one filled with hair, another with shoes, another for jewelry and still others, all taken from the people who were killed. And they saw the crematorium. To say it was emotional is an understatement, according to Brandspiegel. It was just draining, which he says does not even properly describe the emotions and feeling experienced on seeing the camp. The final camp was Auschwitz, which actually is divided into three facilities. Visitors must have an appointment and guide to be allowed in. The group saw the steel doors where biological experiments were conducted; two tons of hair collected from the victims; rows of holes next to each other where people went to the bathroom as the officials took more and more of the dignity away from the people; and where people took their final steps on the way to Hitler’s final solution. The cantor said tears flowed throughout the trip

Beth El Synagogue Cantor Larry Brandspiegel as emotions frequently came to the surface, but not everything was so draining. The group met a woman who was honored by the Israeli government for helping save many Jews; she hid them in her barn. They visited the factory where Oskar Schindler was able to help a lot of people survive and emigrate. They saw a Jew-

ish community center that is thriving with 400 members. They visited a Jewish preschool. They danced and sang and laughed as people joined an impromptu celebration. Brandspiegel said it was important to go to Poland so that one really understands what happened when one says, “never again.”

Tulpehaking Nature Center to offer The Birding Series

Fledgling birdwatchers get a second chance to build their skills this fall at the Tulpehaking Nature Center to observe migratory bird patterns throughout the Abbott Marshlands. The Birding 201 Series will take place Saturdays, Sept. 23, and 30, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Led by local expert Bill Pitman, this four-part series is designed for beginning and first-time birdwatchers to practice identifying birds by shape, size, behavior and habitat. “By building this solid foundation,” says Pitman, “they’ll be able to experience more of the bird instead of missing out while consulting a field guide.” The focus will be the many migrating birds that stop to refuel at the Abbott Marshlands. Class members will be on the lookout for enduring birds like the blackpoll warbler, which migrates from Alaska and Northern Canada to South America, including a three-day nonstop flight over the Atlantic Ocean. Rest stops like the Abbott Marshlands become critical feeding sites for birds migrating south to their winter grounds. This workshop is $5 per person or $15 for the series if

'Simpatico' at McCarter Theatre

A Red Orchid Theatre brings its acclaimed staging of Sam Shepard's little-seen drama to Princeton

ham! Sam Shepard’s "Simpatico" hits you right between the eyes from the getgo in this production at the McCarter's Berlind Theatre through Oct. 15. The actors, key production crew, and the director are here from Chicago, home of the city’s celebrated storefront ensemble A Red Orchid Theatre. As Artistic Director Emily Mann says in production notes, McCarter has showcased several outstanding groups over the years, especially ones that take leaps and expand art’s boundaries. Last year, Bedlam productions were an example, and the Elevator Repair Company before that. A Red Orchid, winner of a 2016 MacArthur Award for Creative & Effective Institutions, is an exciting addition to the list of notable companies. By all the evidence, it’s a great time to be in theater. A Red Orchid ensemble member Dado, an actress and visual artist, directed this high-energy production. A Red Orchid’s website states that “Dado enjoys finding scripts with cakes in them and then convincing A Red Orchid to produce them.” This is some kind of multilayered cake. The action opens with an outsized erector-set of girders for lighting, which bob and dip over the audience, colored beams flashing, rock music blasting, and a lone figure gyrating from a platform suspended above the stage. A jumble of fabric plummets from somewhere high above. Suddenly in the midst of the spacious stage, a gangplank drops down revealing a small set — a cramped single-room apartment, piled with castoff laundry, and two figures. What seems to be an intimate play on the page has taken on extra dimensions. Ironically, the very space around that set emphasizes how claustrophobic the space is, as if the characters are caged — both by the space and by their shared predicament. Shepard does not pander to audiences by making it easy to understand what that predicament is, or what motivates the characters to act as they do. We are plunged right in. Things evolve gradually, darkly, under great tension, as well as great humor. Vinnie (Guy Van Swearingen), a drunken mess, has let himself go, physically and emotionally. He’s gotten into a jam, possibly arrested, perhaps for harassing a woman while posing as an armed private detective. He’s been aroused by the sight of her through a window and wants to set things right. Here to pin down the problem is his erstwhile partner, Carter (Michael Shannon). Impeccably dressed, neat, confident, well off, Carter is impatient, scolding. It seems the two conspired in a horse racing scam some years ago. Blackmail was involved, and

scandalizing photographs. Now the two men have the goods on each other. By this time, Carter has gotten the better of Vinnie — he has run off with Vinnie’s wife, Rosie (Jennifer Engstrom). When Carter goes to check on the threatened woman, Cecilia (Mierka Girten), he finds Vinnie’s story isn’t quite straight. He’s been scammed. Action shifts from Vinnie’s dump in Cucamonga, California, to a more elegant home in Kentucky. Chandeliers descend from the ceiling and an empire couch appears center stage. Vinnie arrives and announces himself to Rosie’s servant, Kelly (Kristin E. Ellis). Trying to get back with Rosie, Vinnie presents a box with incriminating evidence he hopes she’ll take. It backfires as she collapses in hysteria. It’s clear the cheaply voluptuous Rosie, a boozy mess herself, has no use for either Carter or Vinnie. The last act shifts to a cluttered Kentucky office where Simms (John Judd) pores over thoroughbreds’ bloodlines. He’s the one who’s the subject of blackmail. On Carter’s orders, Cecilia is visiting Simms in hopes of buying from him the evidence Carter thinks he has, a box of photographs. But Cecilia, who has been promised a free ticket to

the Kentucky Derby, has to ward off Simms’ lewd advances. The schemes to undo the scheme inevitably run afoul, human nature being what it is. You’d think cons would be able to see through each other. This terrific ensemble cast is a joy to watch. The actors nail Shepard’s snappy dialogue and his intense, quirky characters. Moods shift like unstable weather. Despite the dark themes of corruption and lax morals, this play is broadly hilarious. Characters toy with each other and trade places in the struggle for domination. In one of the funniest scenes, the formerly unflappable Carter wrestles with a blanket, trying to cover himself. Later, he’s barely able to get into a pair of slacks, one leg at a time. With startling sets by Grant Sabin, lighting by Mike Durst, upbeat sound design by Joe Court and costumes by Christine Pascual, this is a perfect synergy of acting and production. Sam Shepard died earlier this year, and left us too soon. But his legacy is burnished in this totally engrossing production. Eat your cake and have it too.

"Simpatico" continues at the Berlind Theatre in the McCarter Theatre complex, 91 University Place, Princeton, through Oct.15. For tickets and more information go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-2582787.

MUSIC By Anthony Stoeckert

The Opera That Never Happened A new work combines theater and classical music to the story of ‘Shostakovich and The Black Monk’

he Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich spent decades of his life hoping to create an opera based on Anton Chekhov’s story “The Black Monk.” The opera was never realized and four decades after Shostakovich’s death, a collaboration of theater and classical music is telling the story of “The Black Monk” and the composer’s quest to adapt it. “Shostakovich and the Black Monk: A Russian Fantasy” features the Emerson String Quartet playing the composer’s String Quartet No. 14 in F-sharp Major, Op. 142 as actors share the story of Shostakovich’s operatic struggles. It will be performed at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University Campus, Sept. 28 in a presentation by Princeton University Concerts.

Philip Setzer, a violinist in the quartet, came up with the idea for the show. He had previously worked on another theater piece about Shostakovich, “The Noise of Time,” which used the composer’s Quartet No. 5 to tell his life story. That work was a collaboration between the Emerson String Quartet and the actor-director Simon McBurney. For “The Black Monk,” Setzer reached out to director James Glossman. Glossman and Setzer are friends, and Gossman has worked often with the actress Linda Setzer, Philip’s wife. Philip Setzer says he and Glossman had many conversations during which they talked about the story of Shostakovich and “The Black Monk,” and how to bring it to life. Glossman then began the writing process. “He wrote the script, which I think in a

The music-theater piece will be performed in Princeton, Sept. 28. fascinating way interweaves the two stories, Shostakovich’s story, his own real-life story, and the Chekhov and one reflects off the other,” Setzer says. “There’s a reason [Shostakovich] liked this story so much, it wasn‘t just that he thought it was a good story and would make a good opera; there was something in the Chekhov that he related to. And it’s a very strange story, it’s kind of bizarre.” In Chekov’s “The Black Monk,” an educated man named Kovrin spends time in the country in order to take a break from his busy life. He spends time in gardens, created by his former guardian, Yegor, who lives with his daughter, Tanya. Kovrin develops an appreciation for the gardens, then begins to have visions of a black monk who tells Kovrin he has the ability to use his genius to save mankind. Kovrin and Tanya marry, and Tanya finds her husband having what she believes

are imaginary conversations with a Black Monk who seems to appear magically to Kovrin. Tanya convinces her husband that the Black Monk isn’t real, but then Kovrin thinks he needed the Black Monk for his genius to grow. He becomes bitter, his marriage ends, his health deteriorates, and he has one last vision of the Black Monk before he dies. “When he was crazy, he was happy, he was full of love, he was full of ideas,” Glossman says. “And when they got him to be sane again, he became unpleasant, mean and selfish.” Glossman says Shostakovich’s interest in “The Black Monk” was an obsession, but he was never able to write it, because of Soviet censorship under Stalin. Shostakovich wrote one opera, “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District,” which premiered in 1934. Two years later, a critique of the show appeared in Pravda. It was titled “Muddle InSee SHOSTAKOVICH, Page 4

They’re Still the One Orleans is bringing the hits to Atlantic City

hen 17-year-old Lance Hoppen joined Orleans in the fall of 1972, the band would rehearse in a tiny, one-car garage that Hoppen had rented with a roadie in Woodstock, New York. The band members — Lance’s older brother and keyboardist Larry Hoppen, guitarist John Hall and drummer Wells Kelly — would put mattresses up on the cement block walls on the inside of the garage to help with the acoustics, and possibly to placate the neighbors. One day, Hall brought a guitar riff into rehearsal, which caught the attention of Larry Hoppen, who suggested that Hall finish the song, which he did. Orleans started playing the song in its live performances. But after the band’s first two albums — “Orleans” in 1973 and “Orleans II” in 1974 — failed to produce any hit singles, ABC Records dropped Orleans from its label. So the band members needed to once again showcase their talents search of another record deal. That took them to Max’s Kansas City, a nightclub and restaurant on Park Avenue South in New York City, a gathering spot for musicians, poets and artists in the 1960s and 1970s. “It was a seven-night gig: Two shows a night and three on the weekend,” Lance Hoppen says. “If my memory is correct — because I’ve told it this way many times — it was the last show of the last night; we were totally fried and burned out and our voices were shot. And Chuck Plotkin caught the show.” Plotkin, then head of A&R for Asylum Records, liked what he heard, particularly two songs, “Let There Be Music” and “Dance With Me,” the song that resulted from the guitar riff that Hall had finished from the rehearsal in the garage. Asylum Records acquired the re-recording rights for “Let There Be Music” and “Dance With Me” and recut them. “Let There Be Music,” the title track from the band’s third album released in March 1975, broke onto the charts at No. 55 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles. But it was the follow-up single from the album, “Dance With Me,” that changed everything for the band. The record peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard singles chart. “It was atypical of everything we had been before that,” Hoppen says. “We were kind of a funky R&B rock bar band on the college circuit. Very much improvisational. That’s where we lived. But ‘Dance With Me’ was an anomaly that took hold and as a result, we went out on tour with Melissa Manchester as opposed to Foreigner. And we did that successfully. It definitely changed the direction of marketing the band.” Orleans’ next album, “Waking and Dreaming,” was released in 1976 and featured the hit single “Still the One,” written by Hall and his then-wife Johanna Hall, that got to No. 5 on the Billboard singles chart. “There was never any thought that this was going to change everything. Nobody even knew that ‘Still the One’ had the merit it had until it was out and did what it did,” Lance Hoppen says. “There was just no telling. We just recorded songs we liked and that Chuck liked. And Chuck

was a really good producer in that he wasn’t a player, he wasn’t a musician so much as he was a song guy and could feel things intuitively. So he guided us into creating those versions of those songs and they worked. We thought of ourselves as players who sang and Chuck thought of us as singers who played.” Over the next several years, the band began to splinter and had several personnel changes. Hall left in 1977 to pursue a solo career. Later, he got into politics and was elected to the House of Representatives, serving New York’s 19th congressional district, 2007 to 2011. Kelly left to join Steve Forbert’s Flying Squirrels in 1981, then hooked up with Meat Loaf’s Neverland Express in 1983. While on tour with Meat Loaf, Kelly was found dead after what was described as a night of too much partying. Today’s version of Orleans, which has been together since 2000, features Lance Hoppen on bass and younger brother Lane Hoppen on keyboards, as well as Hall, Charlie Morgan on drums and Dennis “Fly” Amaro, who had been with the band in the early 1980s. Larry Hoppen, who sang lead vocals on many of the Orleans hits, died in 2012. The band will play at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, Sept. 28. “From a historical perspective, we’ve always had two or three original guys at any given point and filled it out from there,” says Lance Hoppen, who recorded a solo album, “Conjuring” in 2016. “But you can also see that breaking up for no apparent reason in 1977 was a terrible idea, throwing away years of work and positioning that you can’t reclaim one you get off the line.” That Orleans continues today is a testament to the band’s determination and desire to produce great music and keep its legacy alive. “The fact that we messed it up that early on, we’ve all paid for that in one way or the other,” Hoppen says. “In not having more hits in the original format and losing the momentum at the time. Who knows what might have happened, but that’s what happened.” Lance Hoppen says that the death of his brother Larry in July 2012 created a huge space in the band. “Everyone had to rise to the occasion to fill that space, and we all did,” he says. “Not just me, but the other guys in the band. They each filled a part of that hole successfully. It’s not the same, you can’t replace Larry. But I think we still sound really good having divvied it up.” And Lance has no problem with the band being part of the “yacht rock” genre nowadays. “The travel can be a real drag, but the playing is always fun,” he says. “We have our better nights and some less better nights, but I don’t think we have any bad nights. There is all this warm and fuzzy stuff that goes along with these songs with our generation and that’s why we’re still able to work. It’s the soundtrack of a generation,” he said. Orleans will perform at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, Sept. 28, 8 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.caesars.com/harrahs-ac.

MUSIC

Shostakovich Continued from Page 2 stead of Music” and blasted the opera as being bourgeois, vulgar, appalling and an insult to the Soviet Union and its people. “The next day, all signs of productions of the opera disappeared,” Glossman says. “Suddenly, it wasn’t allowed to be performed. Every theater was pulling its performance of it. There were a lot of reasons why this editorial might have happened.” After the review, Shostakovich lost commissions and feared for his career, even his life. He wrote music but never another opera. “An opera has a story, and a story can be satirical or it can comment on the government or it can comment on life, and that was simply seen as too dangerous,” Glossman says. “Shostakovich and the Black Monk” will feature Len Cariou as Shostakovich. Cariou originated the title role in Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” and is a regular on the CBS drama “Blue Bloods.” Jay O. Sanders will play Stalin. Also in the cast, playing multiple roles, are Ali Breneman, Alex Glossman, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, Paul Murphy and Linda Setzer. As part of the show, the Emerson String Quartet plays Shostakovich’s music. “We play the 14th quartet in its entirety but it’s not done as a concert,” Setzer says. “We play the first movement as the overture at the very beginning. The slow movement is done underneath as kind of accompaniment, or dialogue, with Irina Shostakovich’s monologue about her husband. It’s a beautiful part of the production.” He adds that it’s likely Shostakovich worked ideas from “The Black Monk” into his 14th quartet. “I think a lot of the music that was in his head for this opera that he wanted very much to write, telling this Chekhov story ‘The Black Monk,’ found its way into this quartet and also into the 15th,” Setzer says. “He ran out of time, he ran out of the physical wherewithal to write out a big work like an opera.” Glossman says the composer wanted to find ways to express himself, which is one reason he wanted to make an opera out of “The Black Monk.” But there was no chance of the opera being supported or performed because it would have been seen as criticism of Stalin’s Soviet Union.

“It’s a story about madness and sanity kind of paralleling, if you like, freedom and conformity,” he says. “It’s suddenly seen as a terribly dangerous story, after what just happened to Shostakovich, to make an opera out of.” He adds that Shostakovich was stopped whenever he tried to create anything that could be viewed as critical of the government. He regained some stature for the symphonies he wrote during World War II, but soon found himself in obscurity once gain. Stalin died in 1953. Shostakovich’s 13th symphony, which made its debut in Moscow in December of 1962, was set to poems by Yevgeny Yevtushenko about the Babi-Yar massacre during World War II. Khrushchev, now leading the Soviet Union, threatened to stop the performance. “The shadow of Stalin was still there, that whenever artists, poets, writers, composers, would start to get some running room and write in a freer way about real life, people would get sent to the Gulag,” Glossman says. “After the time under Khrushchev, then Brezhnev came in and it was Stalinism all over again and he was in power until Shostakovich died.” As the show begins, the Emerson String Quartet plays the overture from the 14th quartet. Cariou enters as Shostakovich on a stage above the quartet. “Shostakovich enters and is watching,” Glossman says. “He uses this music, interweaving the 14th, he starts to narrate to the audience, Chekhov’s ‘Black Monk’ — ‘Finally I can tell this story.’” Glossman says the story and music are complimented by large-screen projection which the characters of Shostakovich and Stalin use to call up images. The composer tries to tell the story of the Black Monk, but is thwarted by Stalin who interferes and brings the story back to Shostakovich. “It’s kind of a struggle between who’s going to win, Stalin or Shostakovich,” Glossman says. “Is Shostakovich going to finally, after he’s dead, tell the story he tried to tell for 40 years, or is Stalin going to win, and through what? Through jokes, through threats, through subversion? Is Stalin going to be able to prevent, even now, this artist from completing this art?” Setzer says the idea for these dramas based on Shostakovich’s quartets came

about from the Emerson String Quartet playing them often. Indeed, the group — which features Setzer and Eugene Drucker on violins, Lawrence Dutton on viola, and Paul Watkins on cello — has recorded all 15 of the composer’s quartets. “It came about originally from playing the quartets so much and feeling that the quartets were like these little plays, these dramas with four characters,” Setzer says. “Knowing how much he admired Chekhov and the way that he creates suspense in his quartets is very similar to what happens in Chekhov.” The work premiered in June at the Great Lakes Chamber Festival in Michigan and at Tanglewood in Massachusetts in July. Setzer says there are differences between this and a pure recital of the quartet. He adds that these music-theater pieces also influence the Emerson String Quartet’s music concerts. “There are certain places in the music that we now associate with the drama, ei-

ther Jim‘s writing or Chekhov’s writing, or both,” he says. “I could feel a difference, there was more awareness maybe of the drama. In a way, the creation of the drama came out of the music, and that also happened with ‘The Noise of Time.’ If it works, I think it works because of that, not because we’re trying to superimpose something on something that shouldn’t be superimposed that way, pulling it in the wrong direction or forcing it to be played in a less effective way musically. “If the drama comes out of the music, which is the way both of these things were conceived, I think you have a much better chance of making both the drama and the music work.“

“Shostakovich and The Black Monk” will be performed at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University Campus, Sept. 28., 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40; princetonuniversityconcerts.org; 609-258-9220.

The new Peter B. Lewis Center for Arts consists of three buildings — the Wallace Dance Building and Theater, the New Music Building, and the Arts Tower. The Wallace consists of rehearsal space and theaters for dance and theater students; the New Music Building includes rooms for music students to study and practice; and the Arts Tower offers a gallery, studios and administrative offices. Connecting those structures is a ground-level area called the “Forum,” which is bordered by two theaters and a music room. Off it toward the back is a space named the CoLab, where Princeton University students from different disciplines can collaborate on projects. The CoLab is currently home to “Designing the Lewis Center for the Arts,” an exhibit of drawings, models and construction details by Steven Holl Architects, the firm that designed the center. After years of planning and construction that saw the old Dinky station converted to eateries, the construction of a new Dinky station, a new Wawa, a traffic circle, and $300 million — including a $101 million gift from the late Peter B. Lewis made in 2006 — the new Lewis Center for the Arts is open for business. “Mainly what it gives us is purpose-built spaces in which to rehearse,” said Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center. “It is a place primarily devoted to rehearsal space for the performing arts, so it’s mostly dance studios, theater studios and music studios. We have some lovely performance spaces all around campus, [but] we didn’t really have the kinds of places to offer classes and to do rehearsals that you need to practice the arts that we practice.” Cadden adds that the new center sort of “marries” the music and theater and dance departments. He expects that will bring collaborations between student and faculty from different disciplines. “That’s going to bring about, I think, a lot of wonderful synergies,” he said. “As we quite literally pump into each other — a composer that I see, usually two times a year, last week I ran into four times — I think that’s going to have a very positive effect in the kind of offerings we come up with in the building, curricular and also offerings to the public. Things that will be exciting for people to come see and participate in.” The New Music Building (that’s the formal name, the donors who helped fund it don’t want their names on it) is home to Princeton University’s music department, which offers undergraduate and graduate programs, and certificates in musical performance and jazz studies. In addition, it also is home to the Princeton University Orchestra and the Princeton University Jazz Ensemble. The university offers certificate programs in theater and dance, with those certificates tied to a collaboration with a student’s major. For example, Steven Runk, Director of Communications for the Lewis Center, said that last year, a dance student who was a physics major created a thesis project in which dancers danced on pads that generated power to elements that were part of the performance. A certificate may not sound as impressive as a degree, but Runk says the education gained by Lewis Center students is the equivalent of a bachelor’s at other schools, if not more. The Lewis Center’s faculty is evidence of that. Jane Cox, director of the theater program, is an award-winning lighting designer whose credits include the recent staging of “Hamlet” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and the recent Broadway musical, “Amelie.” Walls on the music building’s out-

Below, the Wallace Theatre at the new dance and theater building. side are made of Italian limestone from a quarry that has been in business for 2,000 years. Inside, the building has exposed ventilation, and wooden walls. Upstairs are 17 practice rooms, which are suspended from the ceiling. These are not technically sound proof because people walking through the hallway (also suspended) will be able to hear music as they walk by the rooms. But by being suspended, the rooms are isolated from each other, so students won’t hear music, or feel the vibrations, coming from neighboring rooms. When I asked if I was the first person to be scared at the concept of walking through a hallway or standing in a room that is suspended from a ceiling, Henry Valoris, production manager with the music department, assured me I wasn’t. I was even more scared later, when on the roof connecting the music and theater buildings, someone pointed to a view that gave a clear image of what a suspended room means. Each practice room has a piano, Steinway baby grand M models. The building also has 10 B model baby grands; a model O baby grand and a model D concert grand, which is located in a large rehearsal space off the Forum. The theater and dance department has four Boston grands. The pianos were made in Steinway’s New York factory. Buying a Steinway isn’t a simple process. Valoris said no two Steinways are the same, even two of the same model, because they are handmade. Faculty members made trips to the New York factory over the last few years to play pianos and test them for quality of sound and feel of the keyboards. Prices for Steinways range from $6,000 to $8,000 for upright models in the faculty to office to between $140,000 and $150,000 for the D, according to Valoris. Teaching studios are equipped with recording systems, so that students can record their lessons, or make an audition tape. Speakers allow the student and teacher to listen back to a performance as well. Teaching studios also have acoustic curtains which can cover the wall or not, affecting the room’s resonance. The music department will continue to use the practice rooms at the Woolworth Building as well. The theater and dance building contains rehearsal studios, including one whose floor is the size of the stage at McCarter’s Berlind stage, which hosts some student productions. Some have lighting and seating and could be used as a small performance space.

Another room is dedicated to lighting. Theaters in the building include the Wallace Theater, a black box space with flexible seating for up to 150, and the Hearst Dance Theater, which seats up to 120. Both have state-ofthe-art LED theatrical lighting. Features of these lights include being able to change the tints on the lighting without gels, as traditional lights use. Another goal of the new center is to bring more audiences to the programs the Lewis Center presents for the public. That will begin with A Festival for the Arts, which will offer more than 100 concerts, plays, dance performances, art exhibits, readings, workshops, film screenings and more, Oct. 5-8. The festival will open with the Princeton Poetry Festival, Oct. 5 beginning at noon at the Berlind. Poets from around the world will read their works. There also will be panel discussions. Douglas Gordon’s 1993 art installation “24 Hour Psycho” will be shown at the Hurley Gallery in the arts complex. The work consists entirely of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic movie slowed down to approximately two frames per second and exhibited as an object in space. As a result, a full viewing of the film lasts 24 hours. This installation marks the 24th anniversary of the artwork, which will be screened continuously for 24 days, beginning September 29 through October 22. A highlight of the festival will be the world premiere of “Gurls,” a play by Branden-Jacobs-Jenkins, of Princeton’s 2006 class, at the Wallace Theater. Commissioned by the theater program, the play is a riff on Euripides’ “The Bacchae.” The opening weekend performances are sold out. Standby lines will be formed 30 minutes prior to performances. The play also will have performances Oct. 1214. On Oct. 5, the Norwegian baroque ensemble Barokksolistene will perform two concerts, one at Richardson Auditorium, beginning at 6 p.m. and one at the Forum, beginning at 9:30 p.m. For the later show, the Forum will be transformed into a 17th-century English pub with beer and snacks. A new work featuring original music performed on electronic instruments conceived by Department of Music faculty member Jeff Snyder will be performed Oct. 6-7 by the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk), the Princeton University Brass Ensemble, SÅ Percussion, the Edward T. Cone Ensemble-in-Residence at Princeton, and the Brooklyn-based TILT Brass ensemble. On the afternoon of Oct. 6, biographer and Princeton alumnus A. Scott Berg and author and editor Anne Margaret Daniel will discuss recent work in print and on screen showcasing the legacy of F. Scott Fitzgerald in the James M. Stewart ‘32 Theater at 185 Nassau St.. Berg is a consulting producer on the Amazon Prime series, “The Last Tycoon,” and Daniel is editor of the recently published edition of Fitzgerald’s “lost stories.” On Oct. 6, the Lewis Center’s Program in Dance will inaugurate the new Hearst Dance Theater with a performance of “A Love Supreme.” This evening-length work by internation-

ally acclaimed choreographers Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Salva Sanchis is set to music by John Coltrane and performed by the Belgium-based Rosas dance company. Performances of “A Love Supreme” continue Oct. 7-8. The Department of Music will present “Orpheus Unsung” in the Marie and Edward Matthews Acting Studio at 185 Nassau St., Oct. 6-7. This opera for electric guitar was composed by Steven Mackey, a Grammy winner and professor in the music department. Beginning on Friday night and continuing throughout the weekend, the Forum will be the site for Theater for One, created by Tony-winning designer Christine Jones and developed when she taught a Princeton Atelier course at the university. It pairs one professional actor and one audience member for the performance of a short play in an intimate booth. The series of original plays to be performed will include several created in a collaboration between Theater for One and students in a spring semester intermediate playwriting course. Princeton alumnus Noah Haidle, and McCarter’s artistic director Emily Mann have also written plays for the performance. On Friday at 8:30 p.m. the Lewis Center and the Department of Music will present “Declassified Memory Fragment,” Baker and Tarpaga Dance Project’s 2015 dance theater work with live music inspired by ideas and themes centered on memory, history, and images of political and cultural realities affecting the continent of Africa. Friday will also include a preview of the flexible, variable acoustics of the Lee Music Performance and Rehearsal Room in the New Music Building with an open rehearsal by the Princeton University Orchestra and an informal performance by the Program in Jazz’s Creative Large Ensemble, directed by Grammy-nominated Darcy James Argue. The busiest days of the festival will be Oct. 7 and 8. They will serve as an open house with a wide variety of events planned to activate all the spaces at the Lewis Arts complex and venues across the campus. For up-to-date listings of events at A Festival of Arts, go to LCAopening.princeton.edu. The offerings by the Lewis Center have always been extensive, but a new building near a renowned regional theater, restaurants and a new train station are sure to increase awareness of what the Lewis Center has to offer. “Most events are free and not only open to the public, but we’re dying for the public,” Cadden said. “The last thing we want is students making art where only your friends are in attendance.” He adds that the Lewis Center is spread across the Princeton campus, not only in the new buildings but through its continued presence at 185 Nassau St., and at New South Building, which is home to the creative writing program. “But I think [the new buildings are] going to help people identify what it is and what we’re doing and especially what we have that we’d like them to come see and participate in,” he says.

ARB opens season with ‘Women of Dance’

The work of Mary Barton will be celebrated by American Repertory Ballet, Sept. 22 and 23 at Rider University. American Repertory Ballet will open its 2017-18 season with a full evening of works celebrating 15 years of Mary Barton’s choreography by showcasing three of her most recognized works in a program title “Woman of Dance: Celebrating the Work of Mary Barton,” Sept. 22-23, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Rider University’s Bart Luedeke Center Theater, 2083 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville. “‘Woman of Dance: A Celebration of Mary Barton,’” is really a two-fold celebration — honoring her contribution over the last seven years as American Repertory Ballet’s Resident Choreographer as well as acknowledging her role as a choreographer to this organization for the past 15 years,” says Douglas Martin, ARB’s artistic director. “Mary is a very gifted and talented choreographer and her work is a testimonial to the strength of female choreographers in America today.” The program features “Scarlet Sonata,” a technically challenging work for five women; “Five Men and a Concerto,” a work for five men that highlights the male form, set to Vivaldi’s Concerto for Oboe; and “Straight Up with a Twist” (an ARB signature performance since its inception), a work set to the sounds of Kaila Flexer and Third Ear which showcases the versatility of ARB’s dancers and Barton’s choreographic genius. Barton received her dance training at The Washington School of Ballet under the direction of Mary Day and participated in summer courses at the School of American Ballet and Joffrey Ballet School. Her professional experience began when she performed with The Washington Ballet as a soloist in Balanchine’s Scotch Symphony and in the principal role in Tom Paczik’s “Tzigane.” Early professional credits include the Oldenburg Staat Ballet in Germany and several seasons with Dayton Ballet. In 1986, Ms. Barton joined the Joffrey Ballet/NY where she performed a variety of roles in the great ballets of the 20th century. Robert Joffrey created the role of Clara for her in the world premiere of his new Nutcracker. Ms. Barton was featured along with Gerald Arpino in an interview with Charlie Rose for the world premiere of Robert Joffrey’s Nutcracker. Barton’s TV credits include performances in “Dance in America” on PBS and she was an original cast member of the historic recreation of Nijinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps. From 19932004, Ms. Barton was a principal dancer with American Repertory Ballet where notable roles include Sugar Plum Fairy, Odette/Odile in “Swan Lake,” Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet,” Cinderella, Titania in “A Midsummer Night’s

Dream,” and Emily in “Our Town,” and leads in Balanchine’s Four Temperaments, Rubies, Concerto Barocco and Serenade. She has been on the faculty of the Princeton Ballet School since 1994 and is one of the primary teachers and choreographers for the Summer Intensive. She is a former ballet faculty member at Princeton University and current faculty at Rider University’s Music Theater Department. “Many dancers have danced multiple roles in the ballet,” says Martin, who is also Barton’s husband and former dance partner at the Joffrey Ballet and later ARB. “It’s been truly exciting to watch the piece evolve along with the company.” In October, American Repertory Ballet will present a new triple-bill program in New Brunswick. The performance features work by American Repertory Ballet’s Resident Choreographers Kirk Peterson and Barton: Peterson’s “Carmen” and “The Eyes that Gently Touch” and Barton’s “Straight Up with a Twist.” ARB will perform at State Theatre New Jersey in Downtown New Brunswick, Oct. 12, 8 p.m. This performance will feature live accompaniment by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Kynan Johns. The program opens with Peterson’s “The Eyes that Gently Touch,” set to the driving rhythms of Philip Glass’ “Mad Rush,” culminating in a dance replete with romance and thrilling movement. Next is Barton’s “Straight Up with a Twist.’ The performance concludes with a company premiere: Peterson’s “Carmen.” Based on Georges Bizet’s opera, Peterson tells the tale of Carmen, a passionate, free-spirited woman, the fickle Don José and her love triangle between Don José and popular bullfighter Escamillo. ARB originally premiered The Eyes that Gently Touch in 1999 and most recently revived it in 2012. Peterson originally created Carmen for Cincinnati Ballet, and these October 2017 performances mark ARB’s premiere of the work. “The original creation of the Carmen Suite by Rodion Shchedrin, instigated by the great ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, was meant to be interpreted as dance,” Peterson explains. “I wished to explore different aspects of the Novella not previously highlighted. This Carmen is my response to this exciting score. “I had been inspired to choreograph it in 1970 upon first hearing the exciting Shchedrin/Bizet Suite. It took 28 years for me to bring my ideas to the stage in 1998 for Cincinnati Ballet. I was so thrilled when Douglas Martin asked me to revive my Carmen for ARB this season. I look forward to revisiting this piece and to be inspired by the ARB dancers for this reinterpretation.” For tickets more information on American Repertory Ballet and Princeton Ballet School, go to arballet.org or call 609-921-7758.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Craig Gronczewski

Vascular emergencies and how to treat them

Your vascular system is a network of blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. As indicated by the National Institutes of Health, problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. And in some cases, they require emergency care. The Center for Emergency Care at University Medical Center of Princeton provides state-of-the-art emergency medicine for the treatment of patients who cannot wait to be seen by their regular doctor. The center routinely treats severe and life-threatening illnesses and injuries, including vascular-related conditions like stroke and heart attack.

Every part of your body Vascular diseases can affect nearly every part of your body. Arteries can become stiff and narrow due to plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels, block blood flow to the heart or brain or travel to your lungs or other parts of your body and weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding in your body. The older you get the more likely you are to have vascular disease. Other risk factors include: • Family history of vascular or heart disease • Pregnancy • Illness or injury • Long periods of sitting or standing still • Any condition that affects the heart or blood ves-

sels, such as diabetes or high cholesterol • Smoking • Obesity

standing speech • Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes • Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination • Sudden severe headache with no known cause

Common diseases, severe consequences There are a wide range of vascular conditions that could lead to an emergency. Some of the most common are: Aneurysms are abnormal bulges in the wall of the blood vessel. They can form in any blood vessel, but they occur most commonly in the aorta (the main blood vessel running from your chest to your abdomen). Aneurysms can also occur in the brain and leg arteries. No matter where it is located, a ruptured aneurysm is an emergency. Consider that only about 1 in 5 people survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm, according to the NIH. Brain aneurysms that rupture can lead to hemorrhagic stroke. Carotid artery disease. The carotid arteries are located on each side of your neck and carry blood from the heart to the head and brain. These arteries can be affected by atherosclerosis and over time can become blocked, decreasing blood flow to the brain. When a clot or a piece of plaque that breaks off from the carotid artery wall travels to the smaller arteries in brain, it can cause a stroke. Coronary artery disease is also caused by atherosclerosis. As atherosclerosis worsens, less blood reaches the heart, robbing it of the oxygen it

Dr. Craig Gronczewski needs to function properly. In severe cases, it causes a life-threatening heart attack. More than 1 million people have a heart attack each year, according to the NIH. Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in the deep veins of the body — mainly the legs — that if left untreated can break off and travel to the lungs causing a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolisms require emergency treatment. Red flags With most vascular emergencies, severe pain in your head, chest or abdomen, is a red flag that you should call 911 and get to the nearest emergency room. Symptoms of stroke: • Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body) • Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or under-

Heart attack symptoms: • Chest pain or discomfort • Pain or discomfort in other areas of the upper body, including your shoulders, back, neck, jaw or stomach • Shortness of breath • Cold sweat, nausea, vomiting

Center, based on UMCP’s advanced capabilities for the rapid and effective treatment of stroke patients, as well as good outcomes. The Center for Emergency Care at UMCP sees 50,000 patients each year, including 8,000 children. The center offers a designated pediatric emergency area where pediatricians from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are on site 24/7 to consult on emergency cases involving infants, children and adolescents. The center also offers a

senior care emergency unit designed especially for older adults. To find a physician with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7496.

Craig A. Gronczewski, M.D., is board certified in emergency medicine and is the Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at University Medical Center of Princeton.

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism: • Difficulty breathing • Chest pain • Heart palpitations or racing heartbeat • Coughing up blood • Sweating If you experience these symptoms call 911, and get to the nearest emergency room. State-of-the-art emergency care The Center for Emergency Care at UMCP provides emergency care for a wide range of vascular conditions. The center offers stateof-the art angioplasty that locates and opens blocked blood vessels and restores blood flow to the heart in the event of a heart attack and features a contemporary interventional procedures suite with operating rooms and cardiac catheterization and vascular laboratories.

Big day approaches for CentralJersey.com’s Wedding Expo By Jennifer Amato Staff Writer

For those who are always a bridesmaid, never a bride; who are becoming a bride for their first time; or who are always a bride, the 2017 CentralJersey.com Wedding Expo will provide access to all of the resources needed to plan the perfect wedding. Brides-to-be, grooms-to-be, mothers of either, members of the bridal party or anyone involved with the wedding planning are invited to gather information about invitations, deejays, flowers, honeymoons and more from noon to 4 p.m. Oct. 1 at MarketFair Mall, 3535 Route 1, Princeton.Many of the stores within MarketFair are slated to participate, as well as Mary Kay, Princeton Fit & Wellness, Wine & Design Princeton, New York Life, Hilton Garden Inn Hamilton, Hampton Inn Princeton, Chauncey Conference Center, Word Center Printing, Touch-

stone Crystal, Princeton Tuxedo, Encore Entertainment & Ultrax Disc Jockeys and Spectrum Limo.Bridal Suite Boutique will present a fashion show, with Xplosive Entertainment as the emcee and Into the Woods Music performing. “People are planning weddings all year long. Even though there are many weddings in fall, the planning doesn’t stop. We thought it was a great time to have the newly engaged or people who are just a few weeks out. The vendors we have at this event have items and services for people regardless of what stage you are in your wedding planning process,” said Angela Smith, director of marketing and events for Newspaper Media Group, the host company.The Wedding Expo follows a Health & Wellness Expo in February, a Home & More show in March and another Health & Wellness Expo planned for Oct. 22, all at MarketFair.

“We have partnered with MarketFair on some events earlier this year and we have been very happy with our relationship,” Smith said. “The idea of the wedding expo came up because we wanted to offer something different to our readers. Our company had just finished a wedding expo in our South Jersey market and we thought that doing something similar would be great for the Princeton area. We really liked the idea of giving the stores within the mall a chance to showcase how they can help in the wedding planning process without requiring them to leave their stores and go somewhere else for the day.” The added value is having a local newspaper chain coordinate events that serve its readership. “Our mission with our products is to serve our community,” Smith added. “We do that through the local journalism that we provide and with the local advertising our publi-

cations offer, but we also are unique in that we are able to bring our loyal readers together through a series of communityfocused events. Whether it is a wedding expo, a health event, a food event, or a kids focused event, we try to come up with events that engaged the community and offer them some type of value.” Registration and attendance are free. For tickets, go to nmg.ticketleap.com/bridal Everyone who pre-registers will be entered into a special VIP drawing that includes prizes to help with wedding preparation. Contact Jennifer Amato at jamato@newspapermedia- Brides and grooms can learn about what they need at CentralJersey.com’s Wedding Expo. group.com.

Email: rick.burke@foxroach.com | www.BurkeBringsBuyers.com

. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.

. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of

their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.

. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.

Q Q

. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.

. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
