Benjamin Thornton is ‘Firefighter of the Year’ By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Benjamin Thornton, who has volunteered as a firefighter at East Windsor Volunteer Fire Co. No. 2, has been named Volunteer Firefighter of the Year for 2016. Thornton, who joined the fire company based in the Twin Rivers section of the township, was honored with a proclamation at Township Council’s Oct. 10 meeting. Thornton was named the volunteer of the year in conjunction with a proclamation issued by Mayor and Township Council acknowledging Oct. 8-14 as Fire Prevention Week. Since joining the volunteer fire company in December 2009, Thornton has attended numerous drills and answered many calls for help, Mayor Janice Mironov said. Last year, he responded to 276 calls and attended 73 training drills. Thornton has served as the fire company president for the past eight years, presiding over the executive board that oversees the
company’s daily business operations, Mayor Mironov said. This includes involvement in membership, recruiting and publicity efforts, Mayor Mironov said. He has also assisted with assorted community events,such as the Boot Drive fundraiser and other fundraising efforts for the fire company. Mayor Mironov praised Thornton for his “deeply caring community spirit (and his) thoughtful, constructive manner of performing tasks.” He has a sincere desire to help the East Windsor Township community, she said. Thornton has his feet planted on the ground, Mayor Mironov said. He is a caring individual who gives hours of his own time to volunteer with the fire company, she said, adding that he is a “very valuable asset.” “He is a really great individual. There is somebody who is always one of the anchors (in an organization) and someone you want in your company. We are really fortunate to have him as a part of our community,” Mayor

Glass of milk signaled the end of horror for Holocaust survivor By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
It was only when Lois Flamholz took a sip of milk from a glass - brought to her by a hospital orderly who was a prisoner of war - that she realized that she had survived the war. Not only had Flamholz survived “the war” - World War II but she had also survived what became known as the Holocaust, or the systematic killing of Jews by the Nazis. Flamholz, who will be 90 years old next month, related her tale of cattle cars, work camps, Auschwitz, a face-to-face encounter with Dr. Josef Mengele the “angel of death” - and a forced march as the Nazis fled with their prisoners from the approaching Allies toward the end of the war. Flamholz, who moved to the United States in 1948, spoke at Beth El Synagogue earlier this month in a lecture sponsored by the temple’s Werner Lecture Fund. “The more people I tell, the better it is. The more people who know what happened - the deniers (of the Holocaust) can’t say it did not happen,” said Flamholz, who lives in Monroe Township. Flamholz’s story begins in a small village in the Carpathian Mountains of what was then known as Czechoslovakia. In the years leading up to World War II, the village changed hands - from Czechoslovakia to Hungary. Although Hungary had sided with Nazi Germany, life did not change drastically for Flamholz’s family. While Jewish businesses were forcibly turned over to Christians to own, some Christians allowed the former owners to secretly operate the businesses, she said. But all of that changed in April

1944, when a jeep with four Nazi soldiers stopped at the police station with orders to round up all of the Jewish inhabitants, Flamholz said. After initially being sent to a ghetto, they were forced into cattle cars - 60 people to a car. When the train of cattle cars stopped at the Auschwitz concentration camp, the Nazi soldiers ordered them to get out and to leave their possessions behind, she said. That’s when they found themselves face to face with Dr. Mengele. Without a word, he pointed to those who were sent in one direction and those who were sent in another direction, Flamholz said. Flamholz and her four cousins were directed to a barracks - the beginning of their imprisonment while her mother, her younger brother and two younger sisters were killed immediately. Her father was sent to a work camp. “I was 16 years old,” Flamholz said. Twice a day, the prisoners were lined up and some were selected for what, no one knew, she said. One time, the selection was made on the basis of the first letter of the last name, starting backwards with the letter “Z.” Since her maiden name began with a “W” - “Weiss” - she was certain that she would be chosen. She told one of the nice “kapos” - Jewish prisoners and others who worked with the Nazis as functionaries - that she was with her cousins, whose last name started with “G.” When she was asked whether the selection process would get to “G,” she was told no and went back into the lineup. She survived. Flamholz and her cousins were sent to work camps. Sometimes,

East Windsor kicks off ‘Communities of Light’ participation
East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov, joined by Womanspace Executive Director Patricia Hart and Domestic Violence Victim Response Team volunteers, proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, praising Womanspace and the Domestic Violence Victim Response Team for their efforts in focusing attention on domestic abuse and providing support and resources for abuse victims. “East Windsor was the first municipality in Mercer County to step up and establish a Domestic Violence Victim Response Team with the help of Womanspace and the East Windsor Police Department, for which East Windsor received the Womanspace President’s award for the initiative,” said Mayor Mironov. Hart said that East Wind-
sor then became the model for the other municipalities in Mercer County as well as the state. The proclamation reads: “The East Windsor Domestic Violence Victim Response Team and Womanspace have provided a coordinated community response that has served hundreds of local residents during its years of operation, and has improved many lives in our community by advocating the importance of victim safety as well as accountability for abusers. The pro-active commitment by East Windsor Township through its Domestic Violence Victim Response Team and Womanspace visibly demonstrates to our residents and surrounding municipalities that we are united in combating domestic violence
and that it is unacceptable to our entire community.” East Windsor Township’s participation in Womanspace’s “Communities of Light” will take place on Monday, Dec. 4, encouraging residents and local groups to join in and support this event. The initiative is geared to raise funds and awareness of domestic violence and services available to victims. The lighting of luminaries provides a unique means of increasing local awareness of the ongoing presence of domestic violence in all communities and serves as a symbol of hope for all those who struggle with violence in their homes, according to the mayor. Mayor Mironov called on all residents to participate by purchasing candles and gathering with local of-

they worked in munitions camps and other times they were forced to build railroads and roadways. When the Nazis realized that the Allies were approaching the camp, they gathered up the prisoners and began a six-week-long forced march to escape. It turned into a death march. On the second day of the forced march, a weakened Flamholz had doubts that she would survive. It was Feb. 2, which would have been her mother’s birthday. “I thought, ‘If we survive tonight, I will survive.’ I survived. My mother was watching over me,” Flamholz said. Along the way, the pris-
oners slept in barns, hay lofts and in the field. There were good Germans as well as bad Germans, she said. Some of the farmers boiled potatoes for them, while other farmers gave them raw potatoes. She recalled one man who brought her a pair of his wife’s shoes, and although they did not fit, “he tried (to help),” Flamholz said. Another time, a woman squeezed pieces of bread through the cracks in the barn siding for the prisoners. By the time the prisoners reached the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, only half had survived, Flamholz said. Soon, the camp was liberated by British soldiers. Flamholz and her four
cousins had survived. “All I wanted to do was to survive the war for a glass of milk,” Flamholz said. “I kept saying, ‘I want a glass of milk. I have to stay alive for that glass of milk.’” Soon after they were liberated, her eldest cousin became ill and was taken to the hospital. The hospital orderlies were Hungarian prisoners of war. The Allied soldiers often distributed cigarettes to the prisoners, and Flamholz began collecting them. Noticing that one of the orderlies had been eyeing the cigarettes, she traded them for that glass of milk. “I knew I had survived when I got that glass of milk,” Flamholz said.

Returning to the Scene of the Crime John Grisham talks about his newest books, including one with a Princeton connection
By Anthony Stoeckert
John Grisham discussed his career and newest books during a talk at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus.
our days before the release of John Grisham’s newest legal thriller, “The Rooster Bar,” The Washington Post ran a review by Carrie Dunsmore, a lawyer and book blogger, praising Grisham for what he gets right about the law in his books. She wrote that becoming a lawyer ruined a lot of legal fiction for her because it strays too far from reality. However Grisham, she wrote, largely gets it right. “I’m shocked to hear that because I normally don’t get it right and I don’t care,” says Grisham with a laugh during a phone interview. “I get close to being right but if I have to fictionalize some law, or create a new courthouse or a new judge, I’m going to do that and not worry about that.” But Grisham, who worked as a lawyer before becoming one of the world’s best-selling authors, said it was nice to hear that praise. “She’s exactly right,” Grisham says. “I can read the first 20 pages of a book about the law and tell you if the writer is a lawyer or not. If the writer is not a lawyer, the mistakes are piling up immediately and I lose interest. A lawyer can always spot that. I get close enough to the law to make it believable but I’m not bound by what the law really is.” “The Rooster Bar” is the second novel of Grisham’s to be published this year. The first, “Camino Island,” was released in June and was about the theft of rare F. Scott Fitzgerald manuscripts from Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Grisham didn’t visit Princeton in researching the book but he was scheduled to give a talk, “Appearing at the Scene of the Crime, John Grisham Visits Princeton," Wednesday, Oct. 25, at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall. “When the book came out back in June, I was a little bit nervous about how the book might be received at Princeton,” he says. “I kept waiting, thinking I might hear something from somebody at Princeton.” A few months after the book was published, he received a letter from University Librarian Anne Jarvis. “It was a very nice letter; she invited me to come to Princeton and have a chat,” Grisham says. “And I said, ‘Well, at least you have a sense of humor.’ So that’s why I’m coming, I got invited.” Being a book collector himself helped Grisham come up with the plot for “Camino Island.” In the early 1990s when he was living in Oxford, Mississippi, a friend was interested in selling a copy of “The Marble Fawn,” a book of poetry self-published by William Faulkner in 1924. Grisham said there are four known copies of the book in existence. “Obviously they’re very, very rare, they didn’t sell back when he published them,” Grisham says. “This
friend was looking to sell a copy of ‘The Marble Fawn’ and my wife kind of went behind my back and bought it as a gift for me. That was my first rare book and I kind of got the bug and I started buying more 20th-century novelists: Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald. After 25 years I probably have about 75 books, and I’ve also picked up other writers — Mark Twain, William Styron and Updike, people I enjoy reading.” Grisham says he likes collecting because those books have histories. “It’s a real thrill to look at them and to think this book was published almost 100 years ago, the way they published then, the way they printed and bound them,” Grisham says. “And the way some books are preserved over time and some are not. I’ve got several first editions where the dust jackets are torn, or they’re stained. They’re not in good shape and that really affects the value. But it’s just fascinating to think that a collector held this book for 80 years and decided to sell it, or a family decided to sell Grandpa’s library. And they’ve been very good investments over the years.” Grisham is, of course, best known for his legal thrillers, starting with “The Firm” in 1991. He’s also written a good amount of books that aren’t about lawyers, starting with “A Painted House," his 2001 autobiographical, coming-of-age story about a 7-year-old boy growing up in a family of cotton farmers struggling to pay its debts. Since then, he has also written a comedic holiday novel (“Skipping Christmas,”) a work of non-fiction (“The Innocent Man”), books about sports, and the “Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer” young adult fiction series. For Grisham, the chance to branch out and try other genres stemmed from a drive to see where else his talents could take him. “You ask yourself, can I do something else? What are my limits? That was the question,” Grisham says. “So I had this great childhood memoir that I wanted to write while my parents were still alive and they could help me write it with the research. That was ‘A Painted House’ and it found an audience. Then next I had a really funny story about skipping Christmas, something I wish I could do every year.' Those books also were best sellers, starting with “A Painted House.” “That was very gratifying because we had no idea what to expect,” Grisham says of what the reception to his first non-legal thriller would be. “It’s become one of the favorites of all the stuff I’ve written because there’ not a single lawyer in the story.” Still, he says he can’t imagine not writing legal thrillers. He writes one every year, starting with a few
sentences on New Year’s Day and finishing by July 1 of each year. “The books are still very popular, there are still a lot of people who expect one a year - they want two a year, but I can’t do two,” Grisham says. “They’re still a whole lot of fun to write, to piece together the intricate plots, to build the characters. I feel very, very lucky to be able to do this.” In recent years, Grisham’s legal thrillers have been tied to issues, such as coal mining in Appalachia (2015’s “Gray Mountain”) and judicial corruption (2016’s “The Whistler”). “There’s no shortage of problems with the legal system,” he says. “We talk about injustice, criminal injustice, penal injustice, social injustice. Sadly, there are a lot of problems and a lot of fascinating stories that are born because of human suffering and injustice. And those stories are, to me, irresistible and I’m always looking for stories like that.” “The Rooster Bar” looks at for-profit law schools, something Grisham learned about from an article in The Atlantic titled “The Law-School Scam.” It follows three law school students who realize the forprofit law school they attend is owned by a hedgefund operator who also owns a bank that specializes in student loans. They hatch a plan to get out of debt, one that involves quitting law school just a few months before graduation. “It was about for-profit law schools and how they were attracting a lot of students who really have no business going to law school but they’re able to borrow huge sums of money from the government and go to law school and hand over all their tuition money to law schools who are making a profit,” Grisham says. “It’s a bad situation, and I never heard of a for-profit law school at that time.” He says those schools are pretty much out of business, which is why his book is set in 2014. “What they found out starting several years ago was that these kids, these students, who had borrowed heavily, did not receive a very good education, could not pass the bar exam and could not find jobs, and so the whole thing is crumbling right now,” Grisham says. Issues tend to be the sparks that lead to a new book, but Grisham’s goal is to write something his readers will enjoy. “I don’t care what I write, initially it’s going to be something that I hope is very entertaining,” he says. “Sometimes I’ll write a legal thriller without an issue, or write a story without an issue, it’s just oldfashioned suspense, and those are still enjoyable to write. I think in the last 10 or 15 years of my career, Continued on page 5

FILM By Anthony Stoeckert
Music in the Dark
Just in time for Halloween, a horror film, accompanied by a live score, at the Princeton Garden Theatre
R
egulars at the Princeton Garden Theatre have likely noticed Adam Sterr playing his viola outside the theater on occasion. As Halloween approaches, Sterr will be playing inside the theater, as his music will be accompanying a horror film classic. On Oct. 30, the Garden will present a screening of “Carnival of Souls,” the 1962 horror movie written and directed by Herk Harvey. Sterr will accompany the film with a live performance of a score he created, played on viola. Sterr is a Milwaukee native whose career as an artist began as a ballet dancer. He danced professionally with Milwaukee Ballet for 10 years, while also studying viola at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music “At the time, that was just a hobby, a side hobby that helped enhance my work as a dancer,” Sterr says of music. A back injury led to his retiring from professional fulltime dancing. He continued to dance and and play music as a freelance performer. Sterr was working with Portland Ballet in Maine when he met Allison Bonin, who has since become a partner. She works in costuming and was offered a job as wardrobe assistant with American Repertory Ballet in Princeton. “That’s what brought both of us here,” Sterr says. “When I moved here, I started busking out in front of the Garden. It’s something I enjoy doing; I enjoy performing out in public and I thought it would be a nice addition to the city.” Sterr teaches at the Princeton Ballet School and also works on his music, recently releasing an album he describes as avant-garde, and which involves him playing all the parts using multi-tracks. “When I finished the album, I was thinking, What do I want to do next? What do I want to do with this music? Because there aren’t a lot of performing opportunities with avant-garde music, it’s really kind of a niche music,” Sterr says. “And until you kind of make your name, there’s not a lot of opportunity to perform the music. “I was always interested in trying to re-score a film because I enjoy doing collaborative projects, working with other artists. In this case, instead of working with another artist, I’m working with another piece of art, as it were, that’s already been created.“ He wanted to use the music he’s made and rearrange it for a film score. “Carnival of Souls” was a good fit because it’s in the public domain. The movie, released in 1962, is about a woman named Mary who after experiencing a car accident moves to a different city where she has trouble fitting in, and finds herself at an empty carnival. It’s also a good Sterr worked with a digital copy of the movie, removing sound from all scenes that didn’t have dialogue, so that he can replace the film’s organ score. He then

Adam Sterr, performing his score for “Carnival of Souls.” had to re-insert some effects, such as footsteps and a door closing, so that his score works seamlessly with the film. Sterr has performed his score accompanying “Carnival of Souls” at fringe festivals, starting in July at Providence, and also in Rochester, New York, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. After the Princeton performance, he’ll play it in Baltimore. He started busking outside the Garden almost immediately after he and Bonin moved to Princeton in July of 2016. “While I was waiting for things to get up and started with my teaching at the ballet, I decided, ‘No time like the present, just get out there and start playing,’” Sterr says. “And there was a strong and immediate response, so I felt like, this is something I’m going to continue doing given how much people seem to be enjoying it.” Sterr’s score also involves the use of looping pedals, with which a musician can hit the pedal, and record a phrase and repeat the phrase when hitting the pedal. He also uses a digital delay peddle for reverb and a multi-octave pedal
that allows him to play outside the viola’s natural range. That helps enhance the score at times because the movie‘s character plays the organ and using that octave pedal can create an organ-like sound. “It allows you to essentially multi-track as an individual musician,” Sterr says. “I use that to help build atmospheric music for the film. When you’re playing a string instrument, it’s not playing a piano or organ, which you can use to create a lot of different textures. On a string instrument, more often than not, [you’re playing] just a through line, a melody, you’re not playing the harmony line or the chords unless you have multi-tracks or other musicians to play those parts. One of the challenges for me was I wanted to play this solo; I wanted to play it by myself but I didn’t want to to limit it to one person playing viola.”
“Carnival of Souls,” featuring a score performed live by Adam Sterr, will be screened at the Princeton Garden Theatre, 160 Nassau St., Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $13.50; www.thegardentheatre.com; 609-279-1999.

It was December 1980 and Levin was just a few months removed from playing bass on the recording sessions for John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Double Fantasy” album. By that point in his career, Levin had been a session bassist on Lou Reed’s “Berlin” album in 1973; Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years” album in 1975; Alice Cooper’s “Welcome to My Nightmare” album, also in 1975; had joined Peter Gabriel’s band after Gabriel left Genesis; and had played on the 1979 album “Exposure,” a solo effort by Robert Fripp of King Crimson. When it came time for Lennon to record “Double Fantasy” in 1980, Levin had established himself as a solid and talented bassist and, through his connection with Fripp and Bill Buford of King Crimson, was asked to join the “Double Fantasy” recording sessions. “When I met John, he said, ‘They tell me you’re good. Just don’t play too many notes.’ And I smiled because I know I don’t play too many notes,” recalled Levin. “I was very happy to be there and I was looking forward to seeing how it really was, how it would really be and how John Lennon would really be to play with live and in the studio. The answer to all of that is better than I ever expected. He was so consistent and, of course, his songs were great.” But nothing could have prepared Levin for the phone call that night in his apartment. It was a reporter from The New York Times. John Lennon had been shot outside his Manhattan apartment. “I don’t know how, but they had a database of everybody who knows everybody. They said he had been shot and wanted a quote,” Levin says. “I was shocked. I had no quote. Those of us who don’t get asked for quotes — and I usually don’t — don’t think about how difficult it is when some tragedy happens, when famous people are asked to say what they think in a way that is wise and useful.” It took several years for Levin to come to grips with Lennon’s death. “There was a 10-year period where I wouldn’t have answered that question. I would just say I didn’t want to talk about it,” Levin says. But once he was able to reflect on his experience of recording “Double Fantasy,” Levin fondly recalls that part of his career. “The easiest way I can describe it is that you’re in the studio and John Lennon is sitting in front of you and he’s playing this new song he wrote, he’s playing guitar and he‘s singing it. And playing the bass on that is about the easiest thing in the world for any bass player, so I’m not the only guy who could have done it,” Levin. says “But I was honored to be the one who was there. It thought, I’ll just play Beatles style, I’ll play John Lennon-style music and I’ll join in and have a ball doing this.” It would be what happened the year after Lennon’s death, though, that would cement much of Levin’s musical future. That’s when he was asked to join Fripp’s new band in 1981. It was to be called Discipline, but the band’s name was soon changed to the next incarnation of King Crimson. And Levin — specializing in electric bass, Chapman Stick and upright bass — is now in his third stint with the progressive rock icons King Crimson, a band that has gone through several lineup changes and continued to evolve over the course of five decades. King Crimson will perform a Halloween show, Oct. 31, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark as part of its 2017 North American “Radical Action Tour.” The current eight-piece lineup includes founder Fripp on guitar, Levin on bass, singer-guitarist Jakko Jakszyk, and Mel Collins on flute and saxophone, alongside the drummers and multi-instrumentalists, Gavin Harrison, Pat Mastelotto, Jeremy Stacey and Bill Rieflin. This iteration of the band has been touring since 2014,
King Crimson continues to record music and play live, and will perform in Newark, Oct. 31.
honoring King Crimson’s strong reputation with three albums and shows across the globe, a testament to the band’s timeless and original sound. “Robert just doesn’t do things by the book,” Levin says. “He has his own ideas and he’s constantly, in my opinion, re-inventing the way rock bands can be. A good example is that we have three drummers and those three drummers are not pounding out the same parts. They’ve devised intricate strategies for working on very complex drum parts and that’s a fascinating show on its own.” The complexity of music and the fact that no two shows are the same keeps Levin challenged, he said. “The caliber of musicians in the band is always very high, and it’s super high now,” Levin says. “It’s a challenging situation on all counts musically for me. And I’m very comfortable with that, I love that, in fact. “Another thing that’s unusual about the band is that we change the set list from night to night. We realize that some of our fans come for multiple shows and we want
them to hear a variety of music.” Might there be some surprises for this show, since it’s on Halloween night? Even Levin isn’t sure. “King Crimson, being a progressive rock band with not a flamboyant show — we’re all about the music — one would guess that our audience won’t be going crazy with Halloween outfits,” Levin says. “But that’s up to the audience to have fun. The band has not discussed it, but I can pretty much predict that we will wear our suits and ties as usual and we won’t have special Halloween outfits. But let me add that many of my predictions about King Crimson turn out to be wrong. It’s a band that not only surprises its audience but sometimes surprises me as well.” King Crimson will perform at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, Oct. 31, 7:30 p.m. For more information, go to www.njpac.org.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert
‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ A classic tale with Disney songs at Kelsey Theatre The musical of “Hunchback of Notre Dame” at Kelsey Theatre features songs from Disney’s 1996 animated film of Victor Hugo’s classic novel, but this isn’t a kiddie show. The story sticks closer to the book than the movie does, covering some serious themes and containing a few intense moments. Even the movie was darker than typical Disney fare, considering its scenes of Esmeralda dancing in fire, and the cruelty aimed at Quasimodo. The stage adaptation premiered in Germany and had runs at the La Jolla Playhouse in California and at the Paper Mill Playhouse, but unlike other Disney stage adaptations (“Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King,” “Aladdin”) it never reached Broadway. It’s a solid show, with a good story, of course, and melodic songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz that range from touching to powerful. Pennington Players has done an impressive job with its version, running at Kelsey through Oct. 29. Set in 15th-century Paris, the show tells the story of Quasimodo (played by C.J. Carter), the hunchbacked bell ringer at Notre Dame Cathedral. He is being raised by Frollo (Gregory Newton), the archdeacon at Notre Dame, and brother of Quasimodo’s father. The father had an affair with a gypsy, both parents died and Frollo agreed to raise the deformed child. “I will save this ... thing,” Frollo says early on, as a sort of penance for not being able to save his brother’s life, or soul. Frollo gives the child the cruel name of Quasimodo, which mean half-born. He gives him food and shelter, but hides him in the cathedral’s bell tower, where his only “friends” are stone statues. The statues come to life in Quasimodo’s mind and the costumes for these statues by Sally Sohor are a wonder. Quasimodo disobeys Frollo and sneaks out of his prison to go to the Festival of Fools, the one day of the year gypsies are
allowed to dance and sing. Quasimodo is humiliated there when the crowd sees his face, but he also meets the kind and beautiful Esmeralda (Alicia Rose Dishon), who treats him like a human being. She also draws the wrath and lust of Frollo. Director Frank Ferrara has assembled a talented cast, starting with Carter, who brings a strong and passionate voice to Quasimodo. He gets to sing the favorite “Out There” and you can sense the character’s longing and optimism in every beat. Dishon brings her soaring voice to songs that are celebratory (the rousing “Rhythm of the Tambourine”) and inspiring (“Top of the World”). And of course, she gets to belt out a love song, “Someday,” which Esmeralda sings with the noble solider Phoebus (Scott Johnson). Newton does fine work as Frollo. His voice is deep and powerful, both when singing and talking. During a scene where Frollo performs mass, Newton was so convincing, and spoke Latin so well, that I felt an impulse to cross myself. He also sings powerfully and is convincing as Frollo goes from flawed man to one who is frighteningly consumed by his feelings for Esmeralda. Andrew Timmes plays Clopin, a narrator of sort, and gets us off to a fine start with “The Cathedral of Notre Dame.” He’s funny at times, but also has a mischievous, almost sinister side. But the best moments come when the company gets together. Accompanied by the excellent musicians in the orchestra and a chorus of singers, the company sings wonderfully together and also handles some nifty choreography by Rachel Tovar.
“The Hunchback of Notre Dame” continues at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, through Oct. 29. For tickets and information, go to www.kelseyatmccc.org or call 609-5703333.

Grisham Continued from Page 1 I’ve spent more time with issues that I care about and exposing things that are wrong in the system through a legal thriller. The goal is to get readers caught up in the story through entertainment and expose or illuminate a particular issue. Maybe not my feelings about the issue, though my feelings are usually pretty evident. I think the better books I write are when I entertain and inform.” A few years ago, The Washington Post wrote another story about Grisham, which included quotes from a book store owner in the South who
said the author’s books helped bring new readers to his store. “That’s really satisfying,” Grisham says. “The one thing I hear occasionally is when people say they were not reading or they had stopped reading and one my books inspired me to start reading again, and that’s as good as it gets.” John Grisham’s “Camino Island” and “The Rooster Bar” are available at Labyrinth Books, 122 Nassau St., and at other area bookstores.

Dating after 50
Sweaty palms, heart palpitations and nervousness are common first date symptoms. Many people can remember the feelings of excitement and fear they felt the first time they went out on a date as a teenager. But those who find themselves back in the dating pool as mature adults quickly learn that dating jitters still may be present even after all this time. Recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau finds that those over the age of 50 are now divorcing at double the rate of younger people. Loss of a spouse is another reason the over 50 crowd may once again be dabbling in dating. Recent reports say that 40 percent of online daters today are over the age of 50. Successfully navigating the waters of matchmaking sites or old-fashioned meet-and-greets means reacquainting oneself with a few handy tips. • Don’t open up with your extended history. Older daters have more life experiences and potentially a greater number of past relationships. Recognize that you both may bring former spouses and even children to the table, but don’t feel the need to delve into all of your adventures (or misadventures) on the first date. Early dates are not for setting the entire course of your relationship. They’re for getting acquainted and seeing if this is a relationship you want to continue. Getting too personal right off the bat can sabotage a relationship before it starts. • Take it slow. There’s no need to rush anything along. Biological clocks or perceived societal notions no longer may be causing pressing relationship deadlines. Take the first date and any other subsequent dates at a pace that’s mutually
agreed upon. It may take several months to years before all of your truths come out, but for now focus on having fun until you’re both ready to share more. • Look for the positives. Before you decide a person is not for you, make a note of all of his or her positive attributes. What do you like most about him or her? Initial negativity or doubts may stem from your fear of rejection. Be open to others who may not fit your type. • Don’t get discouraged. The person you first meet may not be the right fit. Don’t let this turn you off of dating. The right person may be the next one around the corner. • Meet in public places. Many dates begin with online conversations with the intention to meet for a physical date later on. Always keep safety in mind when setting a rendezvous with someone you don’t know well. Choose a public meeting spot, such as a busy restaurant. Ask a friend to check in on you via phone call. Consider a double-date if you’re weary. Take your own car and meet at the date location rather than being picked up at home. • Wait for intimacy. It may take a while before you feel comfortable getting intimate with someone new. This person should respect your feelings and not pressure you into a physical relationship until you are both ready. Also, give the other person time to grow comfortable with intimacy. Dating after 50 means taking chances, going slow and exploring new relationship possibilities that make you feel comfortable. — Metro Creative Connecton

At 5:30 a.m., I received a phone call along with a threat to remove my hearse from where it was parked since it was “inappropriate� and now at risk of being towed. That’s when my struggle to find something to write for this article in “Active Living� was over. Apparently, a woman named Samantha was very distraught called 609FUNERAL as well as the condo association who made it clear that I was expected to relocate my hearse immediately, or it would be towed. Just over 100 years ago, it was an acceptable practice to take care of our deceased loved ones at home. How (and why) has death, dying and everything associated with it become so depressing, scary and “inappropriate�? My 12-year-old daughter asked me, “How does some lady know what’s inappropriate to others? Dying is natural and a hearse is just a method for transporting the body,� she said matter-of-factly. Of course, I agreed. Who knows more about what people think than a tween girl? Many cultures don’t shy away from death but celebrate the death of a loved one. Generally, Hindus believe that life and death are part of the concept of samsara, or rebirth. The ultimate goal for many Hindus is to become free from desire, thereby escaping samsara and attaining moksha, the transcendent state of salvation. Once moksha is attained, the soul will be absorbed into Brahman, the divine force and ultimate reality — of course a celebration is in order. Muslims believe that death is a departure from the life of this world, but not the end of a person’s existence. They believe that eternal life is yet to come and pray for God‘s mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in their next life. Rather than seeing death as a destination, they focus on journeying from this
life to the next. When a Christian dies, it’s seen as the end of his or her life on earth. A funeral is held for friends and family to grieve for the person who has died as well as give thanks for their life. At a burial, this is when the coffin is lowered into the grave. The symbolism is similar at a cremation when the curtains are closed around the coffin. “We, therefore, commit (his or her) body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.� We are nothing but fertilizer for the earth, according to many atheist beliefs, but nevertheless, atheists too find a way to cope with the grief of losing someone. Although, accepting the finality of death can be excruciatingly painful, it also makes the recognition of life exceedingly beautiful. Atheists do not comfort themselves with thoughts of seeing their loved ones after they die, making the urgency for love, fulfillment, and connection in this life very real in each passing moment. With all of these varying beliefs, cultures, and ways to cope with death, it continues to be the constant and joining experience of the human condition. Every single person will deal with death at some point. Why not acknowledge and accept it as part of life instead of avoiding anything that serves as a reminder of it? Becoming comfortable with the idea of death can challenge us to appreciate those we love and celebrate the time we were given with those we’ve lost. Perhaps when you see a hearse and the word “inappropriate� comes to mind, reframe that thought and think of how our mortality can allow us to have a renewed passion for our life today, in this moment. — The Hopewell Memorial Home - 609-FUNERAL.

Photographs from Hella McVay’s travels are on view at the Millstone River Gallery in Plainsboro By Ilene Dube Special Writer There are many luxurious spots in which to sit and relax in the home Hella McVay shares with her husband Scott, from the kilim-covered sofas to the wicker chairs on the patio and in the garden — yet it’s hard to imagine she ever takes the time to sit. In her 82 years, McVay has traveled to as many countries. Photos from her extraordinary journeys, richly printed on canvas to look like paintings, are on view in the exhibit, “Patterns in Nature” at the Millstone River Gallery at Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center, Plainsboro, through Nov. 17. From an arrangement of bones in a shaman market in Zimbabwe and beloved skulls of ancestors in Papua, New Guinea, to zebras in Zambia, spotted leopards in Zimbabwe and pelicans in Ghana, these images of wildlife focus on visual elements that repeat themselves with calculated rhythms, drawing on McVay’s background as a mathematician and environmental advocate who is at home in nature, surrounded by animals. Her husband Scott displays photos from his own lens with Hella feeding monkeys in Kyoto, kangaroos in Australia, holding an orangutan in Borneo and perching her arms for parrots in Honduras. “Animals are just attracted to her,” he says. “She is an explorer of the flipper-powered, belly glides of Adelie penguins in the Antarctic, the dancing Morpho butterfly on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, the willowy Sifalks in Madagascar, and the plentiful bats of Venezuela.” Married for more than half a century, the couple completes each other’s sentences, and it’s often hard to separate one’s quote from the other. “That orangutan just jumped into her arms and sat on her hip,” says Scott, himself a champion of education, conservation and the well being of mammals. The founding executive director of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Scott discovered and documented the six-octave song of the Humpback whale, along with Roger Payne, and has led expeditions to the Alaskan Arctic to study, record and film the Bowhead whale. “Having grown up in Europe I always wanted to see the rest of the world,” Hella says. “Scott’s whale work and our interest in environmental issues has helped make this possible. “Wild animals can be so cuddly and friendly,” she adds. Among the other magnificent creatures Hella has brought back home, in photographic form, is Cecil, the worldfamous Zimbabwe lion that was an attraction to the national park and studied and tracked by Oxford University. McVay was on a safari in the early 2000s, following Cecil for three days. “He took such good care of all four of his families, making the rounds to check on them,” she says. Without a telephoto lens, McVay leaned over the edge of the truck to make her shot, getting within 10 feet of Cecil and his family, but she may have come too close. “He started to charge
me,” she recalls, and she pulled back and laid flat on the floor of the truck. Cecil’s death by an American dentist’s bow-and-arrow in July 2015 resulted in world-wide outrage. “The whole country mourned,” recalls McVay, whose portrait of Cecil is accompanied by a Patrick McDonnell cartoon with the caption “I can’t blame you for having a fear of the dentist.” McVay also got up close to hippos — she paddled in a canoe to photograph them. She tells a story: “According to Zimbabwe mythology, when the creator created the world and had stuff left over, it was used to make an ugly fat creature. The hippopotamus was so embarrassed it went to live in the water, but the water animals complained it was eating all their food so at night the hippo goes out on land to eat the grass.” At night in her tent she could hear the hungry hippo eating grass. “They’re not too smart but have beauty.” There are also patterns closer to home: a peregrine falcon in Cape May, pitcher plants in the Pinelands. And while McVay has called central New Jersey home for more than a half century, home has not always been a secure thing. Her childhood residence in East Berlin was bombed in 1943 and she and her family fled for West Berlin where she went to school. “I was 9 when the war was over,” she says. “We were always moving. My father worked in finance for a Jewish com-
pany so we were suspect. I had a spectacular grandmother who made me feel safe — she had a way of calming everything.” McVay recounts a time her grandmother put on a babushka and called in an officer of Russia’s White Army, asking him what his mother would think of all the rape and killing. “From then on, my grandmother’s house became a safe house.” She also recalls spending her childhood taking care of animals in the stable. Scott shows a photo of her as a little girl with a lamb in Berlin. McVay says she, and most Germans, don’t like to talk about the war years. “I’m blessed to have a great husband, fabulous daughters and sweet and spectacular grandchildren,” she says. Hella met Scott in 1956 at a student jazz hangout in Berlin, he was with the U.S. Army Intelligence. The American told her he wanted to improve his German and came to meet Hella’s family. “I had zero interest in terms of a relationship, but one thing led to another,” she says. Scott served three years but had to lengthen his tour while Hella completed her master’s degree at the University of Berlin. They married in Berlin in 1958 and came to Princeton to be near Scott’s parents. “We bought Danish furniture and I wanted to live in San Francisco but then got a job in Fine Hall Library at Princeton. All the famous mathematicians had been chased out of Germany, and here they were in Princeton — it was the epicenter for
“Flukes of a Humpback Whale,” taken by Hella McVay in the Saint Lawrence River in Canada.
math and physics. I was in seventh heaven, so Scott had to find a job.” With her knowledge of math and ability to transliterate Russian, German and French, Alonso Church hired her as assistant editor of the “Journal of Symbolic Logic.” Her courage in the wild has lead to having the courage to carry out her convictions. Around the birth of the McVays’ daughters Hella became interested in natural childbirth and La Leche — “we embraced all that ‘hippie stuff,’ because I like to be conscious and know how things work.” They briefly moved to Coconut Grove, Florida, when Scott worked with a dolphin laboratory, and Hella wrote the math program for a Sacred Heart school. When they returned to Princeton she founded the math department at Stuart Country Day School, and on the first Earth Day in 1970, she founded the Whole Earth Center, a non-profit organic food store that raises funds for environmental organizations. “There were very few places where you could buy organic food then. We supported local farmers, helped to educate about pesticides and toxins, and paid employees properly with a pension and health insurance.” She served as president of the board for many years, but now she is just a shopper at the Whole Earth Center. “The prices are high but they are honest prices.” She recounts how Wild Oats, a national chain that opened a store across the street, could not compete because the Whole Earth Center customers remained loyal. “The Whole Earth Center will be 50 in three years,” she says proudly. Among her other convictions she put into action: As a volunteer for Planned Parenthood, she donned a white coat and worked as an assistant in the exam room, greeting patients. She had to give that up when the doctor she worked with was forced to close his practice because of threats he received. She later joined the board of D&R Greenway Land Trust where, with Scott, she founded the Scott and Hella McVay Poetry Trail. So how is it that, after more than half a century of marriage, she and Scott continue to work together—she has helped select poems and photographs for his books — and even share a single e-mail address? “We complement each other,” says Hella. “He’s the English major/poet, and I’m the mathematician.” In the late 1970s, their home burned to the ground. “She was the one who kept us all together,” Scott says. “I’d already lost everything as a child, when my mother had to pack all our possessions in a small suitcase,” Hella says. “I knew life goes on.” They built a new and better house. Featured on a 1984 green house tour in Princeton, and on the site where their previous stone house burned, the 1981 passive solar house gets most of its heat from a wood-burning stove. A greenhouse serves as a dining area and allows warm sunny air into the rest of

LOOSE ENDS
Talking about the Arts and Transit Center
The existence of the Lewis Center for the Arts within Princeton University’s Arts and Transit neighborhood plays an non-traditional and unanticipated artistic role in the lives of Princetonians. Since the project’s public celebration on the weekend of Oct. 6, I have observed that the Lewis Center provides a “safe” topic of conversation and debate, thus serving as art therapy for town residents suffering from angst, depression, and sleepless nights over political, social, environmental, and natural disasters. Dining recently at the new restaurant Cargot, housed in one of the former Dinky Station buildings, my friend and I joined a nonhostile, non-depressing, animated discussion with neighboring diners about the new Arts and Transit complex. The first topic on the table was the architecture — aesthetically pleasing or not? The group of eight was split. Some thought it was “big, bulbous, ugly, looks like a pregnant turtle, unfriendly, too close to the road,” while others described it as “beautiful, elegant, soaring like an eagle,” using “imaginative use of space, incredible geometric lines,” to create “an interesting street-scape.” I generally refrain from offering a critique of architectural design, beauty truly is in the eyes of the beholder. If it works for the client’s needs without offending the general public, then it is OK with me. I only added my observation that the lighting at night transforms the area into Princeton’s most stunningly dramatic nighttime space. Having more than four decades of experience walking, driving, parking and taking transit in Princeton, however, I rarely refrain from offering functionality criticism. So we transitioned to the next discussion item on the menu: Does the Arts and Transit Center work to benefit the community, irrespective of arts programming for the public? The group of individuals comprising different ages, genders, races, and bank accounts unanimously gave the new project an Aplus for functionality. Simply said, the redesign works. It significantly improves the University Drive/Alexander Road traffic circulation and, and offers amenities (special shout-out to the bathrooms) for commuters, car-drivers, bike-riders, and walkers. Three people were shocked at how easy it is to walk to the train. The comment is a reflection of the convoluted access during construction, as well as the intense town/gown controversy that erupted over the plan to move the station “further from the center of town” by 460 feet. I fully concur with the urban planning principle that proposes train stations be located in the center of a town. But the new location, even though further from the center of town, adds only two additional minutes to one’s commute. Plus, getting to the train is actually faster for those who stop at Wawa to get a coffee or snack — because WaWa is right at the train platform, rather than a half a block away from the station, as it was in the pre-development era. Particularly noteworthy from my point of view is how the traffic flow on Alexander Road is much improved, thanks to traffic planner and engineer Georges Jacquemart’s brilliant and trademark roundabouts. Finally, the development featuring the two restaurants in the former train station buildings (everyone effusively praised the design of the restaurants) has created an area of vibrant activity in stark contrast to the formerly dark, barren landscape surrounding the train station. It may sound a little pathetic, but one of my favorite activities on a warm evening is to grab an inexpensive dinner at Wawa and sit on one of the wooden benches in front of the Dinky Bar/Cargot or at the Nakashima table outside of the train station waiting room and watch the people go by, while contem-
plating the long and stressful journey that ultimately led to this good outcome. Over a six-year period (beginning in March 2006), according to University Vice President and Secretary Robert K. Durkee, “we discussed this project at some 15 borough council meetings, nine township committee meetings, 15 planning board meetings, three joint meetings of these bodies, two historic sites council meetings, one NJ Transit Board meeting, one meeting of consolidated Princeton Council, at least 14 other public information meetings, and many . . . private meetings with members of the public and local officials.” An assortment of master plans, strategic plans, visioning plans, and the municipal consolidation plans intensified the meeting mania associated with the train station redevelopment project. In-
Princeton Library to host benefit The Princeton Library will host its benefit, “Beyond Words: An Evening to Benefit Princeton Public Library,” Nov. 4. Acclaimed playwright, screenwriter and librettist David Henry Hwang will open the event with a talk at 6 p.m. at Nassau Presbyterian Church.

deed, during the darkest days of the pre-development era, the Arts and Transit initiative was far from a “safe” topic of discussion among Princetonians. Having worked at the university from 1989 to 2006, and before that at The Princeton Packet as a writer and editor, I know that discussions about the viability and sustainability of The Dinky train service and redevelopment of the train station/University Place/Alexander Road area began way before 2006. But that’s a story that Durkee will have to tell in his book, a good retirement project. Since Durkee is an unlikely retirement candidate, he will have to write it between meetings. Maybe by that time, he can determine when the Dinky became the preferred name for the PJ&B train — another safe topic of debate among Princetonians.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Elliot B. Sambol
Varicose veins: common, genetic and treatable
Your grandmother had them, your mother had them, and now you have them too. Varicose veins. They’re undoubtedly a family affair. But while you may have inherited the troublesome vascular condition, treatment options for varicose veins have changed over the years, making it easier to make them disappear. At the Center for Vascular Care at University Medical Center of Princeton, board certified vascular surgeons along with skilled nurses and trained vascular staff offer a variety of treatment options for vascular conditions, including varicose veins.
How veins work Veins are thin-walled, lowpressure conduits that return blood from the body to the heart. Muscular contractions in the extremities propel blood forward in the veins, and one-way valves prevent the blood from flowing backward. When the valves become weak or damaged, however, they fail to close all the way allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. Over time, varicose veins develop as the collected blood causes the veins to get bigger and to twist and bulge. Though not a life-threatening condition, varicose veins can be cosmetically distressing and can cause other symptoms and complications such as: • Swelling of the ankles and feet • Painful, achy or heavy-feeling legs
• Throbbing or cramping in the legs • Itchy legs, especially on the lower leg and ankle • Discolored skin • Sores or ulcers • Bleeding • Superficial blood clots that occur close to the skin Family history a risk factor Varicose veins are a common condition. Federal health statistics indicate that about every one in five adults — the majority women — suffers from varicose veins. Further, family history is one of the main risk factors for developing varicose veins. About half of all people who have varicose veins have a family member who has them too, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Other risk factors include: • Increasing age. • Gender. Hormonal changes that occur during puberty, pregnancy and menopause make women more likely to develop varicose veins. • Prolonged standing. • Heavy lifting. • Being overweight or obese. • Prior history of blood clots in superficial or deep veins Not Your grandmother’s treatment If your varicose veins aren’t causing many symptoms, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as losing weight, increasing physical activity and wearing compression stockings. However, in cases where varicose veins are causing uncomfortable symptoms and complications, medical treatment is normally
necessary. Treatment for most varicose veins has advanced from what was once a hospital-based procedure with a lengthy recovery time to a minimally invasive approach that can essentially be performed during your lunch hour. Among the most common treatment approaches are: • Sclerotherapy, which involves injecting a medical solution into the vein causing the vein walls to swell, stick together and seal shut. This stops the flow of blood in that vein and the vein fades as it is absorbed into the body. Sclerotherapy is effective for spider veins and varicose veins. • Radiofrequency ablation, a technique in which a small probe is inserted through a catheter placed in the vein. Using radiofrequency energy, a device at the tip
arts and a regular at Princeton-area gallery openings, this is the first time McVay has ever exhibited. “I never even thought about exhibiting until (Curator Sheila Geisler) approached me. I love the idea of doing it in a rehab center,” she says. “The patterns of nature are comforting for those
who are healing. I feel blessed to have looked at so many things —moss in Patagonia, lichen in Argentina, tree trunks in Indonesia.” Though having traveled to Nepal, South and Central American, Africa, Russia, the Arctic and Antarctica — and having recently returned from a
Dr. Elliot Sambol
of the probe heats up the inside of the vein and closes it off. Blood flow is rerouted to healthy veins around the closed veins. • Ambulatory or micro-phlebectomy, a technique in which tiny cuts are made in the skin enabling doctors to pull the vein out of the leg. With this procedure, very large veins can be removed while leaving only very small scars. These procedures can be performed in the doctor’s office with local anesthesia for radiofrequency ablation and micro-phlebectomy and no anesthesia for sclerotherapy. Patients are typically able to return to their normal activities within one to two days. Give your legs a rest While you can’t control your genetics, you can take steps to delay the onset of varicose veins or keep them from progressing. Here are some things you can do from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: • Exercise regularly to improve your leg strength, circulation, and vein strength. Focus on exercises that work your legs, such as walking or running. • Control your weight to avoid placing too much pressure on your legs. • Elevate your legs when resting as much as possible. • Don’t stand or sit for long periods of time. If you must stand for a long time, shift your weight from one leg to the other every few minutes. If you must sit for long periods of time, stand up and move around or take a short walk every 30 minutes. • Wear elastic support stock-
ings and avoid tight clothing that constricts your waist, groin, or legs. • Avoid wearing high heels for long periods of time. Lowerheeled shoes can help tone your calf muscles to help blood move through your veins. • Eat a low-salt diet rich in high-fiber foods. Eating fiber reduces the chances of constipation, which can contribute to varicose veins. High-fiber foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, like bran. Eating less salt can help with the swelling that comes with varicose veins.

Historical society to present house tour
The Historical Society of Princeton will host its 16th annual house tour, Nov. 4, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event celebrates significant architecture and design in the homes of HSP’s supportive community. This year’s tour features five homes, each one a distinct example of its own time and style. Visitors will be able to see modifications, redesigns, furnishings, and personal art collections in a self-guided tour of the homes throughout the day. This year’s tour will feature: 75 Cleveland Lane: This Princeton landmark, the former estate of J. Seward Johnson Jr. and Kristina Johnson, was designed by Ernest Flagg in the 1920s. Flagg, a notable American architect, also designed the Scribner Building in New York City and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Recently spared from demolition, this estate underwent a top-to-bottom renovation from Grant Homes Custom Builders. The Chateau-style stone mansion and carriage house now feature countless high-end, custom details, including a Christopher Peacock kitchen and a built-in sound system with 26 speakers. Historic architectural features, like exposed stone walls and beams, carved banisters, and a cement tile floor, remain preserved. 73 Library Place: Designed in 1897-1898 by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm, Cope
and Stewardson, this half-timbered Tudor Revival house was built for Princeton University Mathematics professor and Dean of Faculty H.B. Fine, after whom Fine Hall is named. Cope and Stewardson famously designed several Princeton campus buildings, such as Blair Hall and Ivy Club. The homeowners have preserved remarkable historic architectural features, such as decorative plaster ceilings, hand-leaded windows, original wood paneling, carved wooden archways, and gargoyles. Previous owners added to the home’s history by installing chandeliers from the famed Paramount Theater in New York City, when the theater closed in the mid-20th century. 44 Patton Ave.: Also known as “The Warehouse,” this historic building served as Michael Graves’ personal home for over 40 years and was recently purchased by Kean University. The University’s College of Architecture and Design bears Graves’ name. Graves was a Princetonbased, world-renowned post-modernist architect who took on the renovation of this home himself. The Warehouse, built in 1927, originally served as a storage warehouse for the Italian stonemasons building Princeton University’s neo-Gothic campus buildings. The house serves as the prime and personal example of Graves’ design philosophy. 50 Patton Ave.: With a golden stone façade,
This home at 75 Cleveland Lane is one of the destinations on the Historical Society of Princeton’s annual house tour. broad porch, and spectacular views of the Michael Graves residence, this bungalow, built in the nineteen-teens, encloses a creative and efficient renovation by local interior designer Katie Eastridge. Unique historic features, such as a Moravian tile fireplace, a claw-foot tub, and original hardwood floors coexist with contemporary additions, such as glazed cement tiles in the fully renovated kitchen. The playful interior design alludes to the owners’ love of books throughout this cozy gem. 40 Mercer St.: Prolific Princeton architect Charles Steadman built this house and its semidetached neighbor in the 1830s, as part of the
most intact surviving neighborhood for Princeton’s early middle-class settlers. Sometimes referred to as Princeton’s first real estate developer, Steadman designed more than 70 buildings in Princeton, including the Nassau Presbyterian Church. As the leader of Princeton’s Greek Revival, Steadman leaves a visible architectural legacy in the town, with about 40 of his designs still standing. This house features a luxurious renovation, adding a curtained sun porch, a breakfast room, and fully modernized kitchen, while preserving period details, like knobs, plaster molding, and fireplaces. “Princeton’s uniqueness and historicity as a town is grounded in its remarkable built environment,” said Izzy Kasdin, executive director of the historical society. “This year‘s tour, in particular, showcases and recognizes homeowners who have been excellent stewards of Princeton’s historic architectural gems. The House Tour provides an opportunity to truly connect with the places we pass every day, and is always an enjoyable experience for all involved!” Tickets cost $50. For more information, call 609.-921-6748, ext. 105. Tickets also may be purchased at www.princetonhistory.org. On the day of the tour, tickets will be available at the Updike Farmstead, 354 Quaker Road, or by cash and check at any of the five homes on the tour.

“2016 FIVE STAR REAL ESTATE AGENT in New Jersey”
CRS, e-PRO, ASP, SRS, Sales Associate, Realtor Office: 609-924-1600
Here I am with my family. Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.
Cell: 908-391-8396 | Email: donnamurray@comcast.net | www.donnamurrayrealestate.com
Q
. Tell us about yourself. A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek, which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.
Q
. Tell us about your family. A. My husband Tom works for American Airlines as a 777 Captain Check Airman. He recently had the honor of serving as one of the four captains who flew Pope Francis during his U.S. visit. We have three children, who attended St. Paul’s School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School (’09, ’11, ’13) in Lawrenceville. Jonathan graduated Rutgers Engineering program and works for TD Securities, Abigail is a grad student at Rider going for a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, and Laurel is graduating Seton Hall in May 2017 and continuing there in the fall for grad school.
Q
. What do you like to do for fun? A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many
253 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08540 609-924-1600
nature trails in the area. I also love to entertain and enjoy volunteering in the community. Most importantly, I cherish when my family of five can coordinate our busy schedules to spend some quality time together.
Q
. What do you see in the future for Real Estate? A. Real Estate is continuing to change quickly with the times. More listings will have interactive floorplans, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone pictures, etc., and the industry will continue to find new innovations for enticing buyers. Buyers search online, wanting to be equipped with as much information as possible before choosing to visit a home, and I anticipate that trend continuing with the aid of technology.
Q
. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years? A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology. Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.
