Passion, dedication will be on display at firehouse Annual open house, fundraiser scheduled By Mike Morsch Regional Editor
Jay Taylor admits he’s a by-thebook kind of guy. He’s a Cranbury Township committeeman and a volunteer member of the Cranbury Fire Company. To illustrate that, he cites a past story that late one night, he experienced an issue with carbon monoxide inside his home. As a member of the fire company, he’s trained on something like that and could have handled the situation by himself. But he still called 911 because he believed that he should follow the same procedure of every other resident in town when confronted with that situation. “While I got good-natured ribbing from fellow members for calling 911 on myself, my kids heard the monoxide alarm, gathered as taught and were calm,” said Taylor. “They were not afraid when the engine pulled up and firefighters exited in their gear.” Taylor attributes the calm response of his family to the entire situation in large part to lessons that fire company personnel have taught students in school and at the fire company’s annual open house. This year, the fire company open house and fundraiser will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, at the fire company at 2 S. Main St. in Cranbury. Rain date for the event will be Sunday, Oct. 15. Among the day’s activities will be tower truck rides, a firefighter obstacle course for children with a mock firehouse, a demonstration on the proper way to use a fire extinguisher and firehouse tours. “Our township benefits greatly from the passion and energy of our volunteer firefighters,” said Taylor, speaking in his capacity as a town-

High school forms alumni association to help grads ‘catch up’ By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Princeton High School has a newly formed alumni association that will help graduates “catch up” with their classmates and alma mater as well as to provide current students with mentors to help guide them into college and career. “Our goal is really is twofold,” district spokeswoman Brenda Sewell said Tuesday. “We definitely want to connect alumni with each other, give them an opportunity and a space to reconnect, to catch up with classmates
and their peers. But we also want to make sure that we’re thinking about our current students and using the resource that is our alumni to help our students.” PHS alumna Mia Sacks, a 1983 graduate, approached the district last year with the idea of having an alumni group. By phone Tuesday, she said many private high schools have such associations, but they’re rare at public schools. “I felt that why shouldn’t public schools also have this resource for their students,” Sacks said. “That was a big motivating factor for me.”
The organization, run through the school district, will have its official launch on homecoming weekend, Oct.20 and 21. Sewell said there has been some outreach already to get alumni involved. Sacks said her vision for the organization is to model it after college alumni associations, to help current students “in the form of mentorships, college connections (and) internships.” “There are alumni all across the country who have been extraordinarily successful in a wide variety of fields,” she said in noting that, for instance, actor John
Lithgow went to PHS. “There are alumni who could serve as role models and be a connection for them.“ “Our alumni are in so many different fields and have done so many different things, and we really wanted to reconnect with our alumni,” Sewell said. More long term, Sacks sees room for the organization as a “source of, perhaps, for providing financial support” for the district. Sacks said that her four years at the high school were formative. She was shaped, in her words, “in terms of my commitment to social

justice, and that that came from my experience at Princeton High School through my teachers and my classes.” She said many of her classmates went into careers of public service or social justice. She contrasted that with today’s generation of youth, who she believes are too focused on grades, test scores and getting into college — “and not seeing the bigger picture of how they could engage as meaningful citizens on the world stage, which is exactly what Princeton High School gave to me.”

East Windsor police get body cameras The East Windsor Township Police Department has implemented a new Body Worn Camera program effective Oct. 2. The program was made possible by a $15,000 grant from the New Jersey Attorney General’s Body Worn Camera Grant Program. The Watchguard Video “Vista Wearable Body Worn Camera” was selected for this program because it incorporates seamlessly with
the police department’s existing in-car audio/video digital recording system, also by Watchguard Video. The cameras are black in color, about 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide, and display a red light when recording. The camera will be worn on the officers’ outer most layer of clothing. All patrol officers and supervisors assigned to patrol duties will be issued a Body Worn Camera.

The children’s area will have some additional fun activities added to it, and there will be two stages of live music this year featuring new artists and popular local singers. The Hightstown Rams are back will the popular dunk tank, so make sure to stop by and dunk your favorite football player. The

Hightstown Housing Authority honored by Watershed Association The Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association recently honored four local entities at its inaugural River-Friendly certification ceremony at the Watershed Center. Executive Director Jim Waltman and Science Director Steve Tuorto, praised the four participants for their stories of inspiration, hard work, and passion for environmental stewardship. The Sept. 26 ceremony honored TPC Jasna Polana golf course and Princeton Friends School, both in Princeton, as well as the Hightstown Housing Authority and The Pennington School. “Bringing our certified participants together to share their experiences and milestones energizes others to protect water quality where they work,” said RiverFriendly Coordinator Brittany Musolino. Since 2004, the RiverFriendly Program has provided tools and guidelines for schools, businesses, golf courses and residents on ways to improve local environmental health. While each program has different requirements, they all focus on the core concepts of water quality management, water conservation, wildlife habitat enhancement and outreach. The Pennington School and Princeton Friends School each earned the highest level of River-Friendly certification by connecting students with local water

Students planted trees along the Stony Brook, enacted schoolwide composting and monitored water quality. Speaking to an audience of about 30 people at the recent River-Friendly recognition ceremony at the Watershed, Patrick Lynch, a science teacher at PFS, spoke about the need to pull children away from screens and encourage outside play time. The Pennington School’s Margo Andrews, who teaches environmental science, said her 11th and 12th grade students thrive on hands-on learning out of doors. Keith LePrevost, Executive Director of Hightstown
Housing Authority (HHA), accepted an award for transforming the three-acre housing development for about 100 families into a demonstration site for stormwater management. The addition of rain gardens, drywells, porous underground piping and rain barrels have helped to capture and recharge over 50% of the site’s stormwater runoff. He also worked to upgrade laundry and bathroom fixtures, saving an estimated 1.5 million gallons of water annually. Most recently, the housing authority switched to natural fertilizers. “We have 63 children under the age of 15 on our site, many of which love to play outside on the lawns,” he said. “That makes you think
about what you’re putting on it.” Tim Connolly, Superintendent of Princeton’s Jasna Polana golf club, dedicated more than two years to the program. He and his staff worked to re-certify the golf course with projects such as native wildflower meadows, non-irrigated grass plantings and several other water conservation techniques, making them a RiverFriendly example for other courses in New Jersey. Waltman said he was thrilled by these RiverFriendly achievements. “These four serve as an inspiration to other businesses, golf courses and schools in improving the environment as workplace stewards.”
East Windsor plans recycling event By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Aiming to help East Windsor Township residents from contributing more trash to the landfill, township officials are hosting “East Windsor Recycling Day” next week. The event, which is limited to East Windsor Township residents, will be held Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the East Windsor Township Senior Center at 40 Lanning Boulevard. Used computer equipment and unneeded documents are among the items that can be recycled at the recycling event. Also, RISE will be collecting clothing and household items at the event. RISE offers social support services to those in need.
East Windsor Recycling Day, which is sponsored by Mayor Janice Mironov and Township Council, is being held in conjunction with the East Windsor Clean Communities Committee. “We are committed to recycling in East Windsor Township, reducing the township’s solid waste costs (for trash disposal). It also helps to preserve a green environment,” Mayor Mironov said. Recycling helps a town to control its trash disposal costs. Towns are charged a “tipping fee” at the Mercer County Improvement Authority’s transfer station, based on the weight of the contents of the trash trucks. The fee is an additional cost to the town. At the recycling event
next week, the township will accept used computers and computer equipment keyboards, mice, speakers, cords and cables, ink and toner cartridges, monitors, printers, scanners and hard drives. Residents may drop off laptop or desk top computers, but data must be removed from the hard drives. Cell phones and fluorescent light bulbs can be dropped off for recycling. Used eyeglasses will be accepted by the East Windsor Lions Club, which collects them, cleans them and then distributes them to those in need. Township residents may bring up to 10 boxes - per household - of papers and documents to be shredded. Businesses and commercial entities may not bring pa-
pers to be shredded. “This is a great opportunity for township residents to dispose of old or confidential documents in a secure manner,” Mayor Mironov said. Shredding documents helps to protect against identity theft, she said. RISE will have trucks at the event to collect clothing, which should be in plastic bags. Shoes, blankets, housewares - such as mugs, plates and related items also will be collected. Working appliances, household electronics and usable furniture also can be dropped off. RISE will provide charitable donation receipts. For more information about the event, call 609448-4000, ext. 215.

Israel and the new Middle Eastern (dis)order.” at 7 p.m. This event will include a briefing by Dr. Barak Mendelsohn followed by a general discussion. While the Arab uprisings upended the regional order, Israeli policy experts maintained that the regional chaos benefited Israel by weakening traditional threats from neighboring Arab countries. After the robust Russian intervention in Syria, it is not clear that this is still the case. Doctor Mendelsohn will survey Middle Eastern (dis)order and assess its implications for Israel national security. RSVP by calling the Synagogue Office at 609-4434454 or emailing admin@bethel.net.

In shooting a final round score of 68, Esposito finished at 12-under par with a total of 276 to claim the $21,500 winner’s check. Esposito competed against an elite field of 264 club pros who qualified for the championship. His championship also earned him a spot in the 2018 Senior PGA Championship.

Frank Esposito Jr. “The entire club congratulates Frank on his outstanding Senior PGA Championship win over the weekend and we applaud the style of play he showed around the difficult Desert Mountain course,” said Chris Schiavone, President of RDC Golf Group, which owns Forsgate Country Club. “He’s a great champion and we are fortunate to have Frank on staff here.” Esposito is enjoying another successful year of competition.
In June, he won the 2017 New Jersey PGA/New Jersey State Golf Association Senior Open Championship title. Considered by many to be the best senior golfer based in New Jersey, Esposito has played in PGA TOUR Champions Tour tournaments, competed in the U.S. Open and in two PGA Championships. He also is a five-time NJPGA Player of the Year, a twotime New Jersey Open champion and a Senior Club Pro Champion.
Because the Princeton University football team has established itself as one of the Ivy League’s top programs, it is sometimes easy to forget just how young the Tigers are this season. Coming off their first loss of the season, the Tigers will play as the host to Georgetown on Saturday at 1 p.m. in their final nonleague game of the season. Princeton will line up on defense with just three senior defensive starters listed on their two-deep, as well as starting three sophomores and a freshman. The inexperience was evident last Saturday when Columbia scored in the closing minute to pull out a 28-24 victory in Princeton. The game was the Ivy League opener for both teams. “They made plays,” Princeton coach Bob Surace said of Columbia after the loss. “That’s a team with seniors all over. They’re a good team. We’re not better than that team. We have a bunch of freshmen out there. We made some mis-
takes in discipline that I need to correct. That team over there is a group of seniors at every key position. We took them seriously. We just came up a little bit short.” Princeton trailed Columbia, 21-14, late in the third quarter before rallying to grab a 24-21 lead with 2:48 left in the fourth period when Chad Kanoff connected with Stephen Carlson for a 27-yard touchdown pass. The TD pass was the third of the game for Kanoff, who had thrown two earlier touchdown passes to Jesper Horsted. But Columbia came back to grab the lead when Anders Hill completed a 63yard touchdown pass to Ronald Smith. The Lions converted a third-and-10 play early in the drive, then scored the winning touchdown on a third-and-11 play. For the game, Columbia converted on 11 of its 21 third-down situations. “We didn’t do a good job stopping them on third down,” Surace said. “We were on the field way too much on defense. It probably affected us with our pass
rush. There were some plays where we had some miscommunication. We’ll fix that. “We have to be more disciplined. We made errors. I have to do a better job making them understand that these games .we have to execute better on third down. We are a very young team on defense. I have to do a better job of putting them in the right positions.” The loss put the Tigers in a tough position in the race for the Ivy title. They are now one of four teams opening 0-1, leaving them looking up at 1-0 teams Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale. Overall, Princeton is 2-1 for the season. “The league from top to bottom is very strong,” Surace said. “We’re a little bit banged up and we don’t have the depth we’ll hopefully have in the coming weeks.” Senior linebacker Mark Fossati was injured in the loss to Columbia and is not expected to play against Georgetown. Sophomore John Orr, who made some big plays against Columbia, will start in his place.

George Street Playhouse is setting up shop in a theater on the Rutgers campus for the next two seasons By Anthony Stoeckert he management of George Street Playhouse has made it easy for audiences to find its new, temporary theater. Located on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, the space George Street will call home for the next two seasons is the former New Jersey Museum of Agriculture, located on College Farm Road on Rutgers’ Cook Campus. A few turns off Route 1 lead visitors to the theater and signage so big it’s impossible to miss. And that’s coming from someone who gets lost just about any time he looks for a destination on the campus. Inside, the space is designed to be functional and welcoming. A ground-level entrance leads to a large area with a ticket counter and rest rooms. Off that is a space that will be used as a “cabaret” room, where audience members can relax and socialize before a performance. Most importantly, is the theater space itself. The room where shows will be performed used to be an exhibit hall, where pieces of farm equipment were on view. In addition to a stage and seating for about 200, it has space for a stage manager, lighting and controls. The smaller venue will result in a more intimate experience for audiences, and it also means George Street’s shows will run longer than the usual three weeks. Kelly Ryman, George Street’s managing director, says one question she's been asked is if the temporary space will mean folding chairs (some patrons even remember the days when the theater’s home was a former supermarket and used folding chairs), but these seats actually will be quite familiar, and very close to the stage. “We pulled the seats from the old theater,” Ryman says. “Some people were asking, Are you going to have folding chairs? No, these are the same theater seats.” The building also offers easy accessibility with no steps from the entrance to the theater, and even to the first few rows of seating. George Street will start welcoming audiences to this new, interim venue, beginning Oct. 10, with an updated version of “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,” the musical with a book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts. The show ran for more than 5,000 performances off-Broadway, from 1996 to 2008. George Street will be premiering this updated version of the comedy about dating and love in all its forms. The cast will feature Karen Burthwright, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Mitchell Jarvis and George Merrick. David Saint, George Street's artistic director, will direct. It will run through Nov. 12. The season will continue with “An Act of God,” Nov. 28 through Dec. 23. In David Javerbaum's comedy, God takes human form and sets out to straighten out people’s misconceptions of the deity. Next up will be Christopher Demos-Brown's “American Hero,” Jan. 30 through Feb. 25. Following Demos-Brown's “American Son,” which George Street presented last season, the play is about an Iraq war hero, whose life starts to unravel when a fellow Marine shows up threatening to expose a hidden past. The play is the second of a projected trilogy about American injustice. Saint will direct the production. George Street Playhouse will present “Trying,” by Joanna McClelland Glass, March 13 through April 8. In the play, Frances Biddle, chief judge of the Nuremberg trials, fierce opponent of the Japanese internment camps during World War II, and attorney general under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is

81 years old and trying to put his life in order. He struggles to communicate with his new, young secretary and these two strangers with different lives influence each other. Wrapping up the season is Larry Shue’s comedy “The Nerd,” April 24 through May 20. The play opens as Willum is celebrating his birthday and is visited by Rick, a soldier who saved Willum’s life during the war, but who Willum never met face to face. In addition to presenting shows, George Street’s temporary home offers a space for events, classes, pre-show events and lectures. “Everything we did in the old building we’ll be able to continue to do here,” Ryman says. “We tried to imagine how we would continue all the programs before and even add to it.” George Street regulars will be happy to know there is on-site parking right next to the theater. Ryman says that lot will be available for patrons during performances. Parking nearby is not only convenient, it also makes it easier for people to eat at restaurants in downtown New Brunswick (home of George Street’s old space and theater of the future) and get to Rutgers in time for a show. The theater is getting the word out to patrons through its website and a volunteer who contacted subscribers to let them know about the new space and to answer any questions.
“Our new subscriptions are up a little bit,” Ryman says. “I think it’s a new space, so there’s been a lot of excitement about it. Also, the season’s a pretty great season, so I think the combination of things, hopefully, are a good recipe for people to be excited.” The plan is for George Street to call the theater at Rutgers its home for two seasons, and work is underway on George Street’s future home, the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, a $170-million public-private project. The space will include two theaters, rehearsal studios, class and office space, a 207-unit residential tower and 344-space parking garage. A groundbreaking for the new space took place Oct. 4. After getting a tour of the theater, I headed to my car, which was just a few steps away from the entrance. As I left, I saw something on the other side of the fence bordering the theater that I’ve never seen in downtown New Brunswick — horses grazing.
George Street Playhouse will present “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,” at the theater at 103 College Farm Road on Rutgers' Cook Campus, New Brunswick, Oct. 10 through Nov. 12. For more information, go to georgestreetplayhouse.org or call 732-246-7717.

Science and Culture Take Center Stage ‘Paradise’ at Passage Theatre tells the story of a teacher and an ambitious student
T
he mission of Passage Theatre in Trenton is to present plays that are socially relevant and examine our culture, diversity, and the issues we face. The first play of Passage’s new season certainly does all of that. Laura Maria Censabella’s “Paradise,” is a two-character play about Yasmeen (Lily Balsen) a Muslim student at a Bronx school taking a science class taught by Dr. Royston (Grant Shaud). Royston used to teach at Columbia, but his career was derailed and he has found himself teaching at a bad school in front of mostly uninterested students. Yasmeen is not uninterested. She is an excellent student but has failed one of Royston’s tests. She was distracted by something that led to the bad grade, and is desperate to re-take the test. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start. There is a bitterness in Royston. When Yasmeen tells him she needs to keep her perfect score, he replies, “We would all like to keep our perfect scores,” then comments that he won’t bargain with her like they’re haggling in over lentils at an Arabian souk. Yasmeen accuses Royston of being racist and threatens to report him. Royston says they can figure something out, and soon they’re talking about the science of love, Royston’s specialty. Yasmeen tells him she needs a perfect grade for a science scholarhip to Columbia. It will be a challenge, she’s a senior just taking her first year of biology, but Royston agrees to help her. “Paradise,” which Passage is staging through Oct. 22, covers cultural differences, education, and science. And writing it took some studying. “I spent two years researching the science,” Censabella says. “I had a vague idea of what the story would be but I didn’t know entirely. I needed as much science as possible so I could choose what I might need once the story took shape.” She started with the idea of a disgraced teacher working at a bad school, and a col-
laboration with a student. She also knew the play would examine the science of romantic love, which was included in her proposal for the commission from Ensemble Studio Theatre and Alfred P. Sloan. “As part of it, I knew his specialty was the science of romantic love,” Censabella says. “So then I knew that in some way this play was always going to be about romantic love — who doesn’t have questions about how to make love last and why does love die?” Another theme she wanted to explore was the idea of living communally or individually. “A lot of that came from my own family,” Censabella says. “My mother came from Italy and I have a very communal family culture, but how do you then become an individual in this society? That is a conflict that I actually lived myself.” Censabella taught in New York City public schools, and had students who were facing arranged marriages, which partly inspired her decision to make her student character Muslim. Her personal life also influenced that choice, as she his half Sicilian and because she was once in a relationship with someone who is Arab-American. “His family basically adopted me and I feel like I’m still part of the family in many ways,” she says. “I learned about ArabAmerican culture from a very emotional entry, so I felt I had that kind of emotional understanding of it, as well as the prejudice that is attached to being Arab-American. I felt I understood that on some level. I did have to do a lot of research on, specifically, Yemeni culture.” “Paradise” made its premiere at Central Square Theater in Boston. Before that, Ensemble Studio Theater held a reading of the play, which featured Shaud as Royston. Shaud, best-known for his role on the ’80s sitcom “Murphy Brown,” has performed at Passage and helped bring the play to Trenton. Following its run at Passage, the proSee PASSAGE, Page 4

Little Piece of Her Heart ‘A Night with Janis Joplin’ at McCarter Theatre brings the legendary singer’s music to life
J
anis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became an iconic rock ‘n’ roll queen. Thanks to “A Night with Janis Joplin,” written and directed by Randy Johnson, audiences can be transported back to the ‘60s, suddenly present for a rock concert by the legendary singer. The Janis Joplin musical will play McCarter Theatre Center, Oct. 10 through Oct. 29, with Kacee Clanton and Kelly McIntyre performing as Joplin in alternating performances. The cast also includes Sharon Catherine Brown, Tawny Dolley, Sylvia MacCalla, and Amma Osei. A live band accompanies the singers. “If you really listen to the show, ‘A Night with Janis Joplin’ is really a blues, rock opera, the way the lyrics carry the story forward,” Johnson says. “Janis became famous when it wasn’t easy to become famous. There was no artifice in the creation of Janis, it just happened. There was no room full of style consultants and image makers helping her.” The action of the story focuses on one random night in Joplin’s concert schedule, with small biographical tidbits about Joplin’s life spread throughout. While the production is a look into the life and career of Joplin, it also showcases her musical inspirations, including Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith. The genesis of the musical dates back almost a decade when Johnson was asked to take a meeting with the Joplin family by their manager. He was of course familiar with her music and knew the story of her death, but didn’t know much else. “They wanted to do a new show about Janis and we had an intense three-hour conversation about their recollections, and I was quite stunned about what I learned about her,” he says. “I learned Janis loved Broadway musicals and was an artist who designed her own clothes for the stage. The portrait that was painted during the meeting was this was a woman who was totally in control of her life, as much as she had demons.” Johnson was given copies of Joplin’s diaries and journals, as well as everything she had ever recorded. “I just lived with her writings and music, and didn’t read any of her bios because to me, that’s just another person’s opinion, and my way I was getting the real facts from her family and Janis herself,” he said. “I realized her influences were a lot of my own influences and a lot of her songs came from Broadway shows. For example, ‘Summertime’ came from ‘Porgy and Bess.’” One night at 3 a.m., Johnson woke up inspired, put on a pot of coffee, and 18 hours later had written the entire show. “I wrote her journey as an artist as if it was a concert a

The show spent four months on Broadway, closing in February 2014 with an expected off-Broadway run followup never materializing. But rather than let the show die, producers planned a North American tour and the Janis Joplin musical has been wowing audiences ever since. “The show grows every time I do it,” Johnson says. “People come to me with a great identification of Janis.” Johnson is well regarded in theater circles for producing and creating legacy shows about famous singers, having been involved in shows about Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty. “There’s always a window that I try to jump into the story and give the audience something to connect to. I find straight bio shows, people kind of lose interest after a while,” Johnson says. “I think as a pop culture, people identify with the musicians as an everyday self.” Even die-hard fans of Joplin will walk away with something new from the show. One of Johnson’s favorite stories involves the Joplin family household on Saturdays when Janis’ mom would play recordings of Broadway musicals
and each member of the family would take a character and sing along. “Audiences will learn that Janis was an everyday woman in extraordinary circumstances,” Johnson says.
“A Night With Janis Joplin” will be performed at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Princeton, Oct. 10-29. For tickets and information, go to mccarter.org or call 609-2582787.

Ballinger scheduled this season and selected “Paradise” to open the season, and new Artistic Director C. Ryanne Domingues says she’s thrilled Passage is presenting the play. “I was really, really excited that this was going to be our first play of the season,” Domingues says. “I went in, they had the initial read-through, (and saw) two unbelievably strong actors are working on the piece and everybody is just really high-caliber artists.” Domingues is one of the founders of

She adds that one of the reasons she came to Passage is the theater’s commitment to plays that address social issues, which has been part of her work. “It’s difficult,” Domingues says. “When it comes to science and religion, there’s always questions but then I also think, We have all these pre-conceived notions about other people’s belief systems, and what they can what they can’t do and what that means to them. I think this play really breaks that down and reveals a lot.” “Paradise” is being performed at Passage Theatre, 205 E. Front St., Trenton, through Oct. 22.

A Very Bard Halloween Shakespeare ’70 presents an evening of scenes devoted to humankind’s darker side
For 47 years, Shakespeare ’70 has been presenting plays, both by Shakespeare and other writers, but this month, the company is doing something different. Oh, it’s Shakespeare, but instead of a full play, Shakespeare ’70 is presenting, “Murder Most Foul: A Night of Shakespeare” at the Open Arts Performing Arts Center in Bordentown, Oct. 13-14. The show is designed to be a fastpaced, sometimes funny, sometimes fierce look at famous scenes, as well as some lesser-known Shakespeare moments. And the murder theme makes it appropriate for Halloween. “We wanted to give audiences [and our Company] another opportunity — a night of Shakespearean scenes and speeches, even a couple of songs, that we created together, around some over-arching theme,” says Janet Quartarone, one of the show’s directors and performers. “Something fast-paced, always changing, at turns funny and fierce, a fresh contemporary look at some iconic scenes, and some other pieces not as well known.” She adds that the company had talked about taking on this idea for a while. Meanwhile, the Open Arts Center was looking for something that would help audiences get to know Shakespeare. The company will return to the Open Arts Center in September with a contemporary play in the spring.
“We’re always looking for ways to engage both our company members and our audience,” says Curt Foxworth, another of the show’s directors. “Obviously we’re known for those full-length productions of Shakespeare, but we see the power and potential of staging Shakespeare in an alternative context.” The evening will include scenes from several of Shakespeare’s history plays, which Foxworth says aren’t often performed and feature characters with dark motives and which also have some humor. “So you’ll see scenes from ‘Richard III’ and ‘Macbeth,’ but also from lesser-known history plays like ‘Henry VI’ — where we see the younger but still twisted man who would become Richard III,” says producer Ray Fallon. Director Jake Burbage adds that the show will look at scenes from “Othello,” which makes sense as it’s about jealousy and envy, but also from some of Shakespeare’s comedies. “There’s a really mournful song from ‘Twelfth Night,’ and a scene about love, that turns dark, in ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’” Burbage says, adding that about a dozen shows are represented in the show. The company also is dipping into one of Shakespeare’s most obscure works, one the company hasn’t performed yet. “And — I think some people will say, ‘it’s about time’
— we’re doing a very famously murderous scene from ‘Titus Andronicus,’” Quartarone says. Performers in the show include Ray Fallon, Kayla McLaughlin, Michael Krahel, Amanda McCarther, Tim Kirk, Sarah Stryker, Ernie Albanesius, Janet Quartarone, Frank Falisi. The evening will be hosted by Brittany Rivera-Gonzalez. An evening spotlighting scenes from plays about leaders that say something about the darker side of human nature might lead to speculation that Shakespeare ’70 is saying something about today’s political scene but Foxworth says that isn’t the primary inspiration behind the idea. “Honestly, we were inspired by the season, but whenever you dig into Shakespeare’s work, you are going to find scenes, characters and speeches that speak to what’s going on in our world now,” he says. “So, even though our intention might have been to have some spooky autumnal fun, we are not shying away from exploring the still-current themes within these texts.”
“Murder Most Foul: A Night of Shakespeare” will be performed at The Open Arts Performing Arts Center, 146 Route 130, Bordentown, Oct. 13-14, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20; www.openartspac.org; 609-424-3058.

Louise Kekulah and her son Malcolm at her home, which she found through the help of Housing Initiatives of Princeton.
A baby gate, and so much more A “Rent Party” benefit will support Housing Initiatives of Princeton Housing Initiatives of Princeton has given the word ‘gate’ a new lease on life — the same service HIP provides for humans. ‘Gate’ in the past few decades has become a dirty word. It started with Watergate, which opened the floodgates of ‘gate’ as a suffix to imply the existence of a scandal — everything from Pizzagate to New Jersey’s Bridgegate. And now there is Babygate. Kingston resident Louise Kekulah wrote a letter to HIP board members about a gate, a baby gate that eloquently freed the term ‘gate’ from its negative demons. The 24-year-old single mother, a Rutgers graduate who intends to pursue a Ph.D. in sociology, lives with her 1-year-old baby Malcolm in a Princeton Housing Initiatives “transition-housing” apartment in Kingston. She wrote the following to the HIP board: Your commitment and hard work has not gone unnoticed, as a result, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the compassion you have all shown my son and me. I appreciate your gracious service of installing the child protective gate in our home. I was very excited and filled with so much joy when I noticed that the gate was installed. Therefore, I am writing this letter to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your dedication and enthusiasm you have shown us. It is the little things that count and you all have exemplified how important it is to have a strong support team. For instance, when I received my citizenship I received a congratulatory card in the mail. There is absolutely no word in the dictionary to
have expressed how I felt after opening the card and reading it. You guys are amazing and the best family anyone could wish for in this lifetime! HIP has made me feel completely loved. I will never forget how my life changed for the better after our first encounter with one another. I am deeply humbled by the generosity of Housing Initiatives of Princeton in supporting Malcolm and me in other initiatives such as, putting a roof over our heads and ensuring that we become successful despite the turmoil life brings. Having a diverse group of educated women around me with knowledge and experience to confer with has made me feel so much more confident in this competitive world. I one day look forward to being in [a] similar position to serve others and give them just as much hope as you guys have given me. The Babygate story is fodder for an inspiring religious sermon rather than a scandal-focused tabloid. Carol Golden, HIP chair, explained the wonderful simplicity of the baby-gate donation. “Louise’s family liaison bought a baby gate before the baby Malcolm was crawling, because the HIP apartment is on the second floor, and we were worried about the baby falling down the stairs,” Golden said. “Then as the baby began crawling, we knew the gate had to be put up as soon as possible. The husband of one of our board members determined that it wasn’t just a pop-in gate, and Louise might have problems with the installation. Carpentry was needed. I called the apartment complex where Louise lives and tracked down the handyman. Louise came home from work one day and found the gate installed.”
Kekulah said the gate and the support her HIP family gives here is a miracle, especially since she doesn’t have any relatives living nearby. “HIP not only has provided housing that I could afford, but also provided an entire family for me,” said Kekulah, whose immediate family is in Liberia with other relatives scatted throughout the United States. “I feel very taken care of.” HIP came into her life at a point when she was determined to survive, but lacked a strategy to do so. Immigrating to America from Monrovia, Liberia, when she was 7 years old, Kekulah did very well in the public schools, graduated from Rutgers University with a double major in psychology and criminal justice, became a U.S. citizen in 2017, and was preparing to go to graduate school in pursuit of a career of “helping others.” Suddenly, she found herself in a position of being the one who desperately needed help. She had a baby, whose father abandoned Kekulah and their child. Kekulah was renting one room in a house, and the arrival of the baby made this living situation unsatisfactory to her landlord. Existing on her salary as a clerk at QuickCheck, she had no idea where to turn other than to the internet. Searching for affordable housing, she came across Housing Initiatives of Princeton. “God answered my prayers,” she said. Kekulah will turn 24 Oct 14, coinciding with HIP’s “Rent Party” benefit at which Louise and Malcolm will be celebrated. Also celebrated at the event will be the generous members of the community who lease housing to HIP for minimal return (tenants’ rents are based on the ability to pay). Housing Initiatives of Princeton’s
Rent Parties provide an opportunity for neighbors to help neighbors, by donating money to support transitional housing, emergency rental assistance and wrap around supportive services, such as installing a baby gate. Louise’s two-bedroom condo is owned by Gavin Thomas, who connected with HIP, when he, like Louise, was in his mid 20s, but in very different circumstances. Gavin became aware of HIP thanks to his mother Annie Thomas. She worked for 13 years as the parish administrator for Trinity Church Princeton, one of the organizations that played a pivotal role in the birth of the HIP initiative in 2001. I was unable to talk to Gavin, who now lives in Washington DC, but did track down Annie Thomas. Gavin on his 25th birthday was “so very fortunate to receive some funds from his grandparents,” Thomas said. Although Gavin was reluctant to be a landlord of any sort, his mother, familiar with the HIP model, suggested that he could use his gift to purchase a residential property, lease it to HIP, and help provide some much needed relief to others, while simultaneously protecting the value of his gift. “HIP tenants are the most responsible of tenants, and so I would recommend this model to anyone who is indeed able to offer this fantastic mission their support,” said Thomas, urging others to open the gates of their residential properties and welcome HIP clients.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Rohit Bhalla, D.O.
Protect yourself against the flu: get vaccinated
October is here, time for watching the leaves change, picking pumpkins, and . . . getting a flu shot? That’s right. Flu season typically runs from October through April so now is the time to protect yourself against the highly contagious virus by getting vaccinated.
Who should get vaccinated? Anyone over 6 months of age should receive an annual flu vaccine. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. Since 2010, the CDC estimates that the flu has resulted in between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations each year. In addition, in recent years flu-related deaths have ranged from a low of 12,000 to a high of 56,000. Children, older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems are at an increased risk for the flu and are especially vulnerable to flu-related complications.
How does the vaccine work? First, it is important to note that there are many different flu viruses and they are constantly changing. Each year, vaccines are updated to match the most commonly circulating flu viruses. Depending on the vaccine, it protects against three or four strains of the virus, and though the vaccine may not protect against all strains of the virus, should you get sick, it helps reduce the severity of the illness and associated symptoms.
The vaccine, which is not a live virus, works by triggering your body to produce antibodies which will guard against infection should you be exposed. Once vaccinated, it takes about two weeks for antibodies to build up to full force, which is why it is important to get vaccinated now before the season peaks. This season, only injectable flu vaccines (flu shots) are recommended, even for children. Though nasal sprays have been used in prior seasons it is not recommended this season because of concerns the nasal spray might not work well. Some children 6 months through 8 years of age will require two doses of flu vaccine for adequate protection. Talk to your pediatrician about what is recommended for your child. Can I get the flu from the vaccine? No. You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine, as the vaccine is not a live virus. The most common side effects from the flu shot are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given. Lowgrade fever, headache and muscle aches also may occur, but they are typically mild and last for only a day or two. Remember, the vaccine takes two weeks to be effective so if you are exposed to the virus during that period, you are not protected. Where can I get the vaccine? Flu vaccines are typically offered in doctor’s offices and at many pharmacies. College health centers, some schools and even some employers may also offer flu shots. No matter where you go for the vaccine,
Dr. Rohit Bhalla the important thing is getting it. What do I do if I get the flu? If you have symptoms of the flu — cough, sore throat, fever, muscle or body aches — stay home, rest and drink fluids. Most people with the flu have mild illness, according to the CDC, and do not need treatment. However, people who have moderate to severe symptoms or have other co-existing conditions such as lung disease or heart disease are at increased risk for complications from the flu and should seek medical attention. Doctors can prescribe antiviral medica-
tion that may speed up your recovery time and prevent the risk for serious complications. Antiviral drugs work best when administered within 48 hours of getting sick. How else can I prevent the flu? In addition to getting the flu vaccine, taking everyday precautions can help protect you and others against the contagious disease. Wash your hands regularly with warm, soapy water. If you don’t have access to water, use hand sanitizer. Cough and sneeze into your elbow or shoulder to minimize droplets that may contain the flu virus from spreading through the air. Typically it takes a few days for flu symptoms to occur once you are infected. Therefore, you could be spreading the virus without even knowing it. F lush used tissues down the toilet. Minimize exposure to people infected with the flu. If someone you are in close physical contact with comes down with the flu, your doctor may be able to prescribe medicine to help prevent you from getting sick too. The flu virus is a serious disease, one that can become life threatening in some cases. Protect yourself and others. Get vaccinated today.
