Districts working to finalize send-receive agreement By Philip Sean Curran Staﬀ Writer

Representatives of the Cranbury and Princeton school districts are continuing to work toward an agreement that will extend the send-receive relationship the districts have had since 1991. The districts are in the midst of an agreement that will expire at the end of June 2020. Administrators are looking to extend the deal for 10 years past that date so Cranbury students of high school age can continue to attend Princ-

eton High School. On May 8, Cranbury Chief School Administrator and Principal Susan L. Genco said she could not provide an exact date when the deal will be finalized. She said it is hoped the new agreement will be finalized by the end of the current school year. Cranbury Business Administrator Nicole Petrone said, “We’re trying to move it along as quickly as possible, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen before the end of the school year.”

On May 9, Princeton Public Schools Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said attorneys representing both districts “have been fine-tuning the agreement.” Princeton Board of Education President Patrick Sullivan said the board may vote on the new agreement during its May 22 meeting. The Cranbury board would follow with a vote at a subsequent meeting. Cochrane said if the item is on

the May 22 agenda, board members may discuss the agreement. He called the pending deal “a pretty standard send-receive relationship.” During the current school year, Cranbury is paying Princeton $4.8 million in tuition, a sum that represents the second largest source of revenue in Princeton’s school budget. As of early April, there were 276 Cranbury students attending Princeton High School. Cochrane and Sullivan have talked of supporting a continu-

ation of the arrangement with Cranbury. Cranbury Board of Education member Evelyn Spann, who is her district’s representative to the Princeton board, said, “Cranbury fully wants the agreement to go forward. I can’t speak for the (Princeton) board, but given the legalities of what it would take to sever the agreement and the time it would take to sever the agreement, from my seat and my perspective, Princeton will also go forward with the send-receive.”

Students learn to put community first By Philip Sean Curran Staﬀ Writer

When students at the Cranbury School raised nearly $2,255 in April for the Make a Wish Foundation of New Jersey, it represented just one way they are trying to help their community and the world around them through a student club. “Cranbury Café for a Cause” was a fundraiser sponsored by the Kindness Club, a group that, true to its name, seeks to do acts of kindness. Students spoke about carving out time from their school work and other activities to participate in a club that looks to have them give of themselves. Nichole Ball, a teacher at the school, serves as a faculty adviser to the club. She said the club aims to spread kindness in and out of school and “to teach our members the value of service and selflessness, helping others.” Membership generally numbers between 15 and 20 students, Ball said. Meeting weekly, the students learn about the importance of being compassionate, having empathy “and how they can make a difference in the world,” she said. “We focus on kids helping kids,” Ball said. “A lot of the things are to help their peers, to see what they have and to understand the importance of being grateful for what you have.” The Kindness Club, which is one of many extracurricular offerings at the school, is open to students when the enter fifth grade. That’s when Erin Carney, now a sixth-grader, said she joined. Erin recalled she was new to the school, having moved to Cranbury from Hightstown, and said she saw the club as “a good way to make friends and have fun.” Gianna DiGioacchino, a seventh-grader and Kindness Club

member, is a student in Ball’s social studies class. Knowing about her teacher’s involvement in the club, she was interested in seeing what the group was about. “And I thought it was a really great cause to just go and do the community service and help the Make a Wish Foundation … ” Gianna said. Sammy Kandel, who is a softball teammate of Gianna’s, also got involved. “It’s just like a really fun opportunity,” Sammy said. “You learn how to be non-selfish and help toward your community and think about the bigger picture and how small things can still affect people.” For Valentine’s Day, students made cards for residents of a local nursing home, the Elms. The youngsters walked to the facility to hand-deliver the cards, “just in case the people didn’t have anyone to celebrate with,” Gianna said. Club members also made a book of inspirational quotes and messages and sent it to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, which was the scene of a mass shooting that left 17 dead in February. Ball said participating in the club helps students with their communication and collaboration skills. “It’s great to see them learn and grow,” she said. “Seeing their excitement and their drive with everything just makes it all worth [it] to me.” “It showed me the value of hard work and community service,” Gianna said of being part of the Kindness Club. “This has shown me different ways I can help my community.”

Scouts’ honor

Amanda and Michael Gonzalez are the first twins in Cranbury to earn the Girl Scout Gold Award and the Boy Scouts Eagle Scout rank.

School board honors past and current members By Philip Sean Curran Staﬀ Writer

Former Cranbury Board of Education members Ash Hadap and Jennifer Cooke were honored during the board’s May 8 meeting. Together, they served the community for nearly 13 years. Both attended the meeting and later addressed the crowd that showered them with applause in the Cranbury School’s auditorium. “I’ve never seen a mic I haven’t seized,” Hadap joked when given a chance to speak. He said sitting on the board was “probably one of the most wonderful, meaningful things

I’ve done in my life. It was truly a privilege to be a part of this community and to serve it in my own little way. I truly miss it.” Cooke thanked “everyone for their support over the years, the teachers, the community, for your faith in me.” Earlier in the meeting, Chief School Administrator and Principal Susan L. Genco feted Hadap and Cooke. She recalled that Hadap, who was chosen to fill a vacant seat on the board, interviewed for the opening. “With Ash, every answer he gave was a child-centered answer and that was something we were looking for,” she said. “He was

interested in how he could make a difference for students.” Hadap served on the board for three-and-a-half years. He did not run for re-election last year, citing professional reasons. “This is a wonderful community,” he said. “We should all be very proud of being part of it.” Of Cooke, Genco said she had served stints as board president and vice president during her nine-year-tenure. During that time, the board hired Genco, in 2011, to lead the district. “I will always be indebted to you for believing in me,” Genco said to Cooke. “Over the seven years I have known Jennifer, she

has done nothing but bring joy to the job. No matter what time, no matter how long it took, she got the job done.” Cooke did not seek re-election in 2017. Hadap and Cooke were succeeded on the board by Amy Dixon and Lisa Rue, both of whom were elected in November. Later in the meeting, the board recognized 10 years of service by board member Evelyn Spann, who is also Cranbury’s representative on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. Spann missed part of the meeting in Cranbury because she was in Princeton for a board meeting, before returning to town.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Friday, May 11, 2018F

www.windsorhightsherald.com/www.cranburypress.com

By Michele S. Byers

The Pine Barrens gets some help from its friends Along New Jersey State Highway 72 in New Lisbon, just around the bend from Brendan Byrne State Forest, is a publicly accessible forest fire observation tower. The view is stunning: one can see the vast expanse of our Pine Barrens, a sea of green extending in every direction. At first glance, the forests may all look alike. But look more closely and you’ll begin to see a rich diversity of trees and plants, surprising for a place called barren. Maintaining diverse forests and habitats within the Pine Barrens is the focus of restoration programs conducted by the New Jersey Forest Service and its partners. The Pine Barrens landscape is dominated by globally rare forests known as pitch pine/scrub oak upland, along with lowland pitch pine, cedar swamps, and maple-gum swamps. Pitch pine forests - even the wet, swampy ones - need frequent fires to maintain rare or unique species of reptiles, amphibians, birds and wild-

flowers. And there’s a lot more to this sea of green. Look for meandering ribbons of deep green Atlantic white cedar along streams. The Shinn’s Branch Cedar Swamp Natural Area is close by. Eighty percent of New Jersey’s Atlantic white cedar forests were lost due to over-harvesting and over-abundant deer; the recovery of these magnificent forests is a continuing priority of the NJ Forest Service. Farther southeast from the New Lisbon fire tower are the famous pygmy pines, also known as the pine plains, the most wildfire-adapted plant community in the world! These short-stature pines and oaks have survived centuries of wildfires, and prairie warblers and brown thrashers are two of the area’s most abundant birds. The NJ Forest Service is working with the U.S. Forest Service and other partners to restore pitch pine forests through ecological burning. From the fire tower, you’ll see soft, light green

patches of tall oak trees interrupting the darker green carpet, especially westward toward Magnolia Road. These tall oaks often grow in slightly richer soils. The extra soil moisture, along with natural firebreaks provided by wide swamps, protect these oak forests from the frequent and severe wildfires found in nearby pitch pine/shrub oak barrens. You would need to take a walk through these oak forests to experience their diversity! Southern red oak, chestnut oak, white oak, black oak, scarlet oak, post oak - plus shortleaf, pitch, and Virginia pines to start. And they host different birds than other parts of the Pine Barrens: species that like to glean insects amongst tall deciduous canopies. Yellow-billed cuckoos, greatcrested flycatchers, summer and scarlet tanagers, Baltimore orioles, and many woodpeckers - including the state endangered red-headed woodpecker - utilize these oak woods, especially in places where the lower lay-

ers of forest aren’t crowded with too many young pines. Tall oak forests in the Pine Barrens face many challenges. In recent decades, gypsy moth outbreaks have killed many, and browsing deer have prevented the trees from replacing themselves with new seedlings. The New Jersey Forest Service is currently restoring a 64-acre tree oak– shortleaf pine forest along Magnolia Road in Brendan Byrne State Forest. Until now, the oaks and shortleaf pine trees in this little island of diversity had not been regenerating. The forestry management project will ensure that the oaks and shortleaf pines regenerate so this unique habitat type is not swallowed up by the surrounding pitch pine forest. The Magnolia Road forest has been thinned, especially of excess pitch pine trees, with many large oaks and shortleaf pines left in scattered locations to provide acorns and seeds. The thick layer of huckleberry

and low-bush blueberry bushes have been mowed to make way for germinating acorns and seeds, producing a pleasant, park-like appearance. A possible prescribed burn will help encourage even more seed germination in the sandy soil. Light soil disturbance is not risky in the Pine Barrens. Unlike forests in other parts of this state we’re in, Pine Barrens forests have virtually no alien invasive species to outcompete native wildflowers like bird’sfoot violet and trailing arbutus. In the old woodcutting days, oak forests were over harvested with no thought for the future. Roots resprouted but no habitat was created for vibrant seedlings. Today, the NJ Forest Service uses complex growth models to predict the rates at which the new generation of oaks and pines will grow between their healthy parents. The NJ Forest Service designed the Magnolia Road project so the future forest will have trees of all

species and ages. Hopefully, a deer fence won’t be needed to allow seedling oaks to grow tall. Should fences be needed, the NJ Forest Service has plenty of experience erecting deer fences to protect young Atlantic white cedar forests. Close monitoring of the forest regrowth will determine the next steps to ensure that this patch of diverse tall oaks and mixed species of pines will not only rebound, but thrive. Check out the Magnolia Road restoration site next time you visit the Pine Barrens. In May and June, you will almost assuredly find bright red male summer tanagers flitting in the tops of the tall oaks. The females are a leafy yellowish green color and hard to spot, but both sexes often utter a two or three syllabled “hic-up” or “hic-cic-up” call. If you are really lucky, you’ll catch a flash of a brilliant redheaded woodpecker! Michele S. Byers is executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in Morristown.

who perished at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. Unlike other commemorations there is no special liturgy attached to the service, which also is aimed at remembering the righteous gentiles who helped the Jewish people in their time of need. Each service contains a candle lighting by the religious school students to remember those who perished. The Kaddish memorial prayer is recited, with the names of the most notorious concentration camps inserted. Kornsgold says having

a yearly service helps ensure the Holocaust never happens again. He says we need to teach the kids about the atrocities so they can teach their kids. They need to know the history of their religion and also that there was a rebirth through the state of Israel. When we say “never again,” those can’t just be words. We need to make sure it never happens again. But the East Windsor rabbi does not think the world has learned the lessons of the Holocaust and he points to ongoing tragedies around the world in

Syria, Burma with the tragedy involving the Rohingya genocide, and elsewhere. Watching Syria, he says, we can see why the Holocaust occurred. Silence is the problem. If we don’t speak out we are giving our tacit approval to what is happening. He also says the Holocaust is part of being Jewish, but does not and should not define the religion. And he points out that teaching about the tragedy in public schools is mandated by New Jersey law. The Rabbi’s words about the need for Holo-

caust education are echoed by those in Beth El’s Hebrew High School. Jeremy Brandspiegel, 15, of East Windsor doesn’t think the tragedy will happen again and the yearly program is a way to make sure it doesn’t reoccur. He says you are taught about the Holocaust at a young age with simple images, but as you get older the images become more graphic. Jackie Harris, 18, of Robbinsville, says it is very important for the community to come together to make sure it doesn’t happen again. She says by learning

about the Holocaust as a child she has a better sense of the world. It’s important to do it every year so you don’t forget. Zach Harris, 16, of Robbinsville, agrees that it needs to be commemorated every year so you don’t forget the hardships that people endured. Hannah Cohen, 15, of East Windsor, says while it’s not a fun thing to learn, it is important and a reminder that it should never happen again.

BETH-EL NEWS A survey released on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, found many people lack knowledge of what happened during the Holocaust. It is most pronounced among those ages 18 to 34. But at Beth El Synagogue in East Windsor that won’t be the case. Each year the synagogue holds a Yom Hashoah service. Rabbi Jay Kornsgold says Holocaust Remembrance Day was put on the Jewish calendar by the Israeli Knesset, or parliament, and is a service held to remember the 6 million

Ivy League champ Princeton starts NCAA lax tourney By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

With the NCAA women’s lacrosse tournament set to begin on Friday, there may no hotter team in the country than Princeton University. The Tigers made it six victories in a row on Sunday, capturing the Ivy League Tournament championship with a 13-10 victory over Penn in the tournament final in Princeton. The Tigers earned a berth in the NCAA tournament with their victory in the title game and will open play on Friday against Syracuse in a game that will be played at Boston College. The Orange posted a 17-16 victory when the two teams met on March 29. Princeton has not lost since falling to Maryland, 11-10, on April 10. The Terrapins are the top seed for the NCAA tournament. “Since Delaware (a

15-6 victory on March 31), our only loss was a onegoal loss to Maryland in a game that we led the entire game,” Princeton coach Chris Sailer said after winning the Ivy title. “I think we’re playing hot right now. It’s a lot of hard work and preparation and staying confident and working through those growing pains as a team.” The victory was the Tigers second over Penn in less than two weeks. They topped the Quakers, 21-8, on April 25 to put themselves in position to earn the top seed in the Ivy tournament and serve as the host to the event. In the semifinals on Friday, Ellie McNulty, Kyla Sears and Tess D’Orsi each scored four goals apiece in a 17-7 victory over Columbia. In an exciting final on Sunday, D’Orsi scored four goals, while Sears and Elizabeth George contributed three goals apiece.

“We know Penn is a really, really strong team, one of the best in the Ivy League and one of the best in the nation,” George said. “We came out really strong and really focused in our regular-season game against them and we came out with a big gap and a big win – 13 goals is huge – and we knew they’d show up differently and give it their best and they did. It was close all game today and we really stayed dialed in and pulled it out.” Princeton improved to 12-5 and has won eight of last nine games. “I knew we were going to have to come together,” Sailer said of her young team. “The kids were confident they were going to be fine. It took us a while for kids that were in support roles to step up and be the go-to kids and for kids who were new to our team to be able to learn the system and play at a high level.

We took our lumps a little early, but we didn’t let that get us down. We were 4-4, but since then we’ve really taken off.” With the graduation of Olivia Hompe and her 75 goals, it took some time for the Tigers to come together on offense. Sears, a freshman, has been the leading scorer and now has 60 goals. But the emergence of D’Orsi, George and McNulty has given Princeton a well-balanced offense. It’s a new group on the field,” George said. “We had a super talented senior class. We had (goalkeeper) Ellie DeGarmo and Olivia Hompe, two of the best players in the country, and

we knew we were losing really good talent. We have an amazing freshman class and they’re huge on this field and we know we have that now and we know we can work together. We’re going to keep that chemistry running through the postseason.” Now the Tigers get another shot at Syracuse, which earned at at-large bid out of the Atlantic Coast Conference. “That Syracuse game, as tough as it was to lose, we finally felt we played a really great game,” Sailer said. “We had gotten in a habit of getting down early, and we did that in that game and we battled back.

We started believing then, and definitely the Maryland game, that was a turning point. We just felt like we could play with anybody.” And on Sunday, the Tigers secured an Ivy League title with a solid effort against a very good team. “It was a close game all the way through,” George said. “That’s really fun for us. It was goal for goal. I think what was key was offense and defense, we knew to set the pace and on attack we kept our composure, and Sam came up with some huge saves when she needed to. We never doubted ourselves, even when it was tied. We kept our composure.”

It took a long time for spring-like weather to arrive, and with the season in full swing, Friends of Princeton Open Space is hosting a benefit that is perfect for this time of year. “A Taste of Spring” will take place May 19 at a private home in Princeton. It will offer a tour of the home’s private garden, landscaped with native plants, and a presentation about sustainable gardening from guest speaker Holly Grace Nelson, landscape architect. Jeff Geist, Friends of Princeton Open Space’s resource manager, will talk about the group’s current project to restore native plants and trees at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve and lead a walk there afterward. A reception will take place in a barn on the grounds of the hosts’ home. Dress is casual and attendees who want to participate in the walk at the preserve afterward should wear appropriate shoes that can tolerate moisture and protection from insect bites for walking on the trails. The walk around Mountain Lakes Preserve will give participants the opportunity to see some of the native and non-native plant communities that exist there, and what FOPOS is doing to enhance the number of native plants and trees. The forest restoration project is still in its early stages; a fence has been constructed around approximately half of the project area which will protect young trees and plants from deer browse. “Walkers should see the beautiful native dogwoods and redbuds in bloom, as well as herbaceous plants, like trout lilies and May apples. They may see blue herons or red-tailed hawks, as well as myriad

other birds; a bald eagle has been seen at the preserve in the past,” says Wendy Mager, FOPOS board president. “Natural Resource Manager Jeff Geist will point out insects, turtles and other critters, and explain the program to respond to Emerald Ash Borer.” One reason for the focus on native plants is invasive species have moved into areas of the the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Wine, craft beer and light hors d’oeuvres will be served at the barn. Admission costs $50, $25 for Friends of Princeton Open space Members. Reservations are required by May 14. Confirmed guests will receive location and parking information for the private home/garden. Funds raised will support the organization’s work to preserve, protect and steward land in Princeton. Rain date for this event is May 20. For questions about the event, email info@fopos.org or call 609-921-2772. Friends of Princeton Open Space also is offering a Mother’s Day event with an open house at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, 57 Mountain Avenue, Princeton. The free event will feature tea and cookies, which will be served on the lovely stone terrace overlooking the lakes. And there will be a special treat for moms. Maps will be available for a familyfriendly, self-guided walk in the Mountain Lakes Preserves. Visitors can expect to see lots of birds and other wildlife, spring wildflowers and enjoy some nice family time outdoors. For questions about the event, email info@fopos.org or call 609-921-2772.

COVER STORY - STAGE REVIEW by Anthony Stoeckert

Laughter and Song with ‘The Producers’ Music Mountain Theatre's staging of Mel Brooks' musical is not to be missed

olitical incorrectness is alive and well at Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville. Mel Brooks’ musical “The Producers” features an AfricanAmerican accountant singing about debits and credits in the style of a slave song; jokes based on homosexual stereotypes, and gags about men ogling women. Then there are the countless Hitler jokes, and the tap-dancing Nazis. And just about all of those jokes work. “The Producers” is one of the funniest musicals of all time, and Music Mountain Theatre has done a great job with its production, running through May 20. Mel Brooks’ story of two producers who scheme to produce the worst show in Broadway history began as a movie starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. It was Brooks’ first film and won him a Best Screenplay Oscar. Decades later, Brooks adapted it for the stage, writing the book and songs. It opened in 2001, starring Nathan Lane and Mathew Broderick. It broke box office records, and also the record for most Tonys by a musical — 12, a record that still stands. As successful as the show was, ticket sales dragged after Lane and Broderick left the show. They returned in December 2003 for a short run, and the show ran for a few more years. It was an unqualified hit — running six years, but not as long as shows like “Phantom of the Opera” or “Mamma Mia.” The curtain rises on opening night of Max Bialystock’s latest show, “Funny Boy,” a musical of “Hamlet.” The crowd sings a peppy number about how much they hated the show — “The songs were rotten, the book was stinkin’/What he did to Shakespeare, Booth did to Lincoln.” Max (played by Eddie Honan) enters the scene and sings “The King of Broadway,” in which he laments his recent failures. He is, after all, the first producer to do summer stock in the winter. And you’ve heard of theater in the round? He invented theater in the square — “Nobody had a good seat!” Wallowing in his office the next day, Max is visited by Leo Bloom (Patrick Mertz), a timid accountant. Their first meeting is one of the funniest things you’ll see, as Leo panics when Max takes his blue blanket and passes out. “They come here, they all come here,” Max says. Leo gets hysterical and Max throws water at him, “I’m wet, I’m hysterical and I’m wet!” Leo shouts. Things eventually calm down, and Leo gets to work on Max’s books. He then notes a producer could make more

money with a flop than a hit. This inspires Max, who asks him to explain. “Let’s assume you’re a dishonest man,” Leo says. “Assume away,” Max replies. Leo then explains how Max could raise all the money he wants for a show, and if the show were to flop and close opening night, Max wouldn’t be obliged to pay his investors any profits because there would be no profits. So he can raise more money than the show is worth and profit what’s left over. Max decides to raise $2 million his usual way, sleeping with elderly widows: “There’s a lot of little old lades out there,” he says. Then, he and Leo will find the worst script, the worst director and the worst actors to ensure failure. Honan and Mertz make a great team. Mertz does especially fine work as Leo, playing him with innocence and

also a little bit of optimism. Mertz sings Leo’s big number “I Want to Be a Producer” with a lot of charm. The song takes place in the dreary accounting office Leo works in, as beautiful dancers emerge from filing cabinets and Leo dons a top hat. Mertz also delivers lines perfectly — when the boss comes in and tells Leo it’s not time for a toilet break, Mertz deadpans: I’m not going into the toilet, I’m going into show business.” Max and Leo find the the play — “Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp With Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden.” It’s written by a Nazi named Franz Liebkind (Erik Snyder). Max and Leo visit Franz, who keeps pigeons on the roof of his apartment building. He’s excited that they want to bring his show to Broadway, but he makes them prove their loyalty by dancing and donning swastika arm bands See ‘PRODUCERS’, Page 5B

STAGE REVIEW by Anthony Stoeckert

‘Caged’ at Passage Theatre P

assage Theatre in Trenton is ending its 2017-18 season with a stunning and powerful play, “Caged,” running at the Mill Hill Playhouse through May 20. The writing of “Caged” is credited to the New Jersey Prison Cooperative, with contributions from 28 people who were either serving in prison or have been in prison. Jeffrey Wise is credited as script workshop producer and there’s also a script developing team, which includes June Ballinger, Passage’s former artistic director. The play is now being presented by C. Ryanne Dominguez, the company’s current artistic director. The various stories of different prisoners have been developed into one cohesive narrative that tells the story of a family in Newark and how its members are affected by their surroundings and the prison system. That would be the Moore family. Chimene (played by Monah Yancy) is the mother. She has breast cancer, and her husband, Jimmy (Will Badgett) is a junkie who rarely eats dinner with the family, but does come by to take things he can sell. Their children are Omar (Brandon Rubin), who recently became a father; daughter Sharonda (Nicolette Lynch); and youngest son Quan (Ural Grant), who the family is determined to keep off the streets. Omar is breaking that rule, temporarily, enlisting his brother to help him sell drugs while his friend Shorty (Andrew Binger) serves a short sentence. Omar was once a key player in the neighborhood’s scene, but left when the family moved away. With the family back in Newark, he’s making his way back, so he can take care of his mother and his newborn son. Omar ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time, and gets arrested. We then follow his life in prison and how his incarceration affects the rest of the family. Omar deals with the humiliation of undressing in front of Officer Watkins (Boris Franklin),

who runs the prison. Franklin is a powerhouse in the scene, barking orders. Rubin’s acting here is so good, it was difficult to watch. Omar isn’t a major player in the drug trade, but he’s offered a plea with a long sentence: 17 years. If he goes to court and loses, he’ll spend more time in jail. It isn’t worth the risk. Help comes from his cellmate, Ojore (also played by Badgett), a 1960s radical who murdered two cops during a bank robbery. Ojore spent 22 years in solitary and has recently joined the general prison population. Ojore serves as a mentor to Omar, teaching him not only how to survive prison, but how to stay human. Part of his mentoring involves encouraging Omar to read Malcom X and George Jackson. Ojore wants Omar to keep his essence, his humanity, but Omar says he has nothing to say. “That’s the cell talking,” says Ojure, whose teen son was killed by cops. He tells Omar how the revolutionaries knew they were doomed, but they had to fight. “Most of us were captured. A lot of us were killed, and we’re still locked up. But the killings by the pigs slowed down. They got scared. It didn’t stop, but it slowed.” He also knows things have changed and wonders if his generation failed, but killing those officers freed him. It’s one of many powerful moments, but the crux of the story is how the system and streets have affected Omar’s family. Those early scenes of the family’s life show how Omar’s incarceration affects each member of that family, often to heartbreaking extent. The family struggles, but there’s hope. Chimene has unbreakable faith, and Omar has hope that his son will have a good life. Then there’s Quan, a smart kid who has two hamsters, and a girlfriend who loves bowling. In fact, he’s saving money to buy her new bowling shoes for her birthday. In an early moment, Quan tells Omar those See CAGED, Page 5B

STAGE REVIEWS

‘Producers’ Continued from Page 3B

— “Nice colors,” Max notes. Snyder might just give the night’s best performance: singing and dancing, and giving a brilliant and convincing comic performance. Next up is finding the best (or worst) director, Roger De Bris, brilliantly played by Michael Moeller. Roger loves the script, and its historical insights — who knew the Third Reich meant Germany? But it’s too downbeat, a Broadway show needs to be “gay,” which leads to the outrageous song “Keep It Gay.” Max tells Roger to make “Springtime for Hitler” as gay as he wants. Moeller is a blast, so funny and a great singer. His best moment comes when Roger ends up playing Hitler in the show (long story) as the ultimate attention-starved Broadway ham, flirting with audience members and singing lines like “There’s no greater/Dictator in the land,” setting up the chorus to sing “The furor is causing a furor.” Of course things go horribly right and the show is a smash. The critics see it as brilliant satire — “Christmas came early to Broadway this year, and guess who they stuck in our stockings? Adolf Hitler” one of them writes. That leaves the producers

by Anthony Stoeckert

in quite a pickle. The whole cast is pitch perfect, including Katie Rochon as Ulla, the stunning Swedish woman Max and Leo hire to be their secretary and star. As Act 2 starts, Ulla has completely painted Max’s dreary office, when did find time to do that? “Intermission,” she says. Louis Palena directs. He’s assembled a great cast and keeps the pace moving. The show has some clever staging, allowing to switch from scene to scene swiftly Jordan Brennan’s costumes are a hoot — the opening night crowd looks stylish, the showgirls’ outfits are stunning and then there are the giant pretzels and sausage (you’ll see). The set by Karl Weigand is effective, and the silhouette of the New York skyline makes for a great background. “The Producers” runs for two more weeks. Don’t miss it, you’ll have a great time. Unless you have an aversion to talent and laughter. “The Producers” is at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, through May 20. For more information, go to www.musicmountaintheatre.org or call 609-397-3337.

‘Caged’ Continued from Page 4B shoes cost $60 and Omar jokes, “Where you going to get that kind of money? And now with two hamsters to feed.” The intimate space of the Mill Hill Playhouse is the perfect setting for “Caged.” Rubin carries the evening, as the story is told through Omar. Grant also plays a key role and is so good as Quan, your heart will break when he makes a key mistake. Lynch is a pillar of strength. And key to the evening is Badgett. As the father, he’s frustrating, but also empathetic. He’s irresponsible, but loving toward his family. He wants his ailing wife to feel better; and despite his addiction, he

knows his youngest son needs to stay off the streets. Then Badgett plays the wise and strong Ojore, and the contrast in his characters — and those men’s relationships with Omar — is fascinating. “Caged” is a special piece of theater. It’s a play with a point of view, but it isn’t preachy at all; it cuts to the core through storytelling and drama. “Caged” continues at the Mill Hill Playhouse, 205 E. Front St., Trenton, through May 20. Tickets cost $33, $28 seniors, $13 students; passagetheatre.org; 609-3920766.

IN CONCERT by Anthony Stoeckert

Music With a ‘Pioneer’ Spirit Eric Houghton is presenting a new orchestration of a work about a wagon trail party

n the early 1990s, Eric Houghton and Robert Marquis collaborated on a musical project titled “Pioneer Songs,” which used songs and narration to tell the story of the first successful wagon trail to California. It started when Marquis began to take piano lessons with Houghton, a graduate of Westminster Choir College, who composes music and also teaches at Westminster. “He had taken lessons as a child, like so many people, and had gone on to become a successful businessman,” Houghton says. “He had a local public relations business. He came in and wanted to start taking lessons again, so I taught him for a while, he was pretty good.” Houghton had written two piano pieces — one called “Folk Song,” the other “Cradle Song” — and he had Marquis play them as part of his studies. “He came back the following week and he was just ecstatic about the style and the pieces themselves,” Houghton

Eric Houghton’s new orchestration of “Pioneer Songs” will debut May 18 in West Windsor.

says. “He had learned them and he said, ‘You know Eric,’ and he just dropped this on me, he said, ‘I’ve always wanted to write a show, and these have this early American sound to them, and let’s write a show about pioneers.” Marquis wrote lyrics and Houghton wrote the music. “He just had this incredible exuberance about the piece, and then it became the show,” Houghton says of Marquis. “He would give me an idea and I was able to capture the idea in music.” “Pioneer Songs” debuted in 1993 at Westminster Chapel, where it also was recorded for CD release. “He was so optimistic and he actually funded an infomercial, a fancy, 30-minute infomercial that we sold on late night,” Houghton says. In January 1994, Houghton got a call from Marquis’

All of the soloists are students at Westminster, something Houghton wanted, in part because of the school’s impending sale to a Chinese education company. “I thought it was very important, with everything going on at Westminster, all the uncertainty kind of ties into what the pioneers were feeling in a way,” Houghton says. “I thought it was very important to include the choir college,

I’m an alumnus, so I said, ‘Let’s audition some fine young singers from the college.’ So we did that.” Houghton is looking forward to future performances, including a planned show in Colorado next spring. “It’s been an amazing journey, really,” he says. “And it’s just starting again. The last two words of the show, in the celebration, when they make to California are “new life.” In spite of everything, this piece is beginning again.” “Pioneer Songs” will be performed at the Princeton Meadow Church and Event Center, 545 Meadow Road, West Windsor, May 18, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15, $10 seniors/students; www.rider.edu/arts; 609-921-2663.

From San Diego to Princeton Michael osenberg is stepping into his new role as Mcarter's managing director

On April 28, when Michael Rosenberg started his new job in Princeton, a woman, who was a force of nature, stole his thunder. Rosenberg actually was thrilled about that fact. Then another powerful lady topped off the evening by raining on his parade. But the rain turned out to have a sunny side for Rosenberg. From my perspective, the only glitch in his first day/ evening at work was that he never produced the hoagie from Hoagie Haven. Although the above may sound like a scene in a convoluted French farce, the explanation makes great sense in a Princeton sort of way. Michael Rosenberg, the new managing director of McCarter Theatre Center, spent his first full day at work on the day/evening of the much-celebrated annual McCarter Gala. It featured a tour de force performance by Audra McDonald, the multi-talented, sixtime Tony winning star of Broadway, TV, movies, opera, and the concert stage. Then Mother Nature provided torrential rain at the exact time audience members had to get from the theater to the tent, where dinner and dancing were to proceed. The “tremendous” McCarter staff, said Rosenberg, handled that situation with calm and aplomb, further convincing him of the wisdom of his accepting the McCarter position. The hoagie from Hoagie Haven, however, was another story. McDonald, who captivated the audience not only with her extraordinary performance, but also with her exceptionally engaging storytelling, noted that in all of her prior visits to McCarter in Princeton, she never has been able to get a Hoagie Haven hoagie. If Rosenberg could have gotten a hoagie in a timely fashion (the crowds at Hoagie Haven are very daunting on Saturday nights), I am sure he would have produced one wrapped in the Gala program. No worries, Audra. I volunteer to be the hoagie runner the next time McCarter audiences are treated to your performance. Throughout the evening, Rosenberg never displayed any new-kid-on-block jitters. He shook hands, joked and

He thanked Harold Wolpert, the interim managing director (from October 2017 to April 2018), who presented Michael with a theater that really has its act together. Many people, myself included, however, asked him the question — “Why?” Why did he decide to leave his successful and prestigious job as managing director of the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego to come to Princeton? In the much extolled, resort-climate location of Southern California, his accomplishments were many, including

helping to develop and produce new works by Ayad Akhtar, Trey Anastasio, Amanda Green, Kirsten Greenidge, Quiara Alegría Hudes, John Leguizamo, Basil Twist, Doug Wright, and The Flaming Lips. He also was a force in having the La Jolla Playhouse currently represented in New York City with the musicals “Come From Away,” “Miss You Like Hell,” “Escape to Margaritaville,” “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” and “Jersey Boys.” “I know the weather of central Jersey cannot compete with southern California, but weather just is not very important — especially since I spend most of my time inside the theater,” he said. It was the other aspects of the McCarter environment that made the job so enticing for Rosenberg. “I came here to work with the most gifted artistic director in America — Emily Mann, [also McCarter’s resident playwright],” said Rosenberg from the McCarter Stage before McDonald began her performance. And although not a Princeton alumnus (he has a degree in theater arts from James Madison University), Rosenberg showed off his orange-and-black-stripped socks and referenced his enthusiasm for the opportunity to be part of the McCarter/ Princeton University relationship. In a subsequent interview, Rosenberg elaborated on his respect for McCarter and the reason he made the move. “The work that McCarter does is extraordinary,” he said. “It’s nationally very highly regarded as both a producing venue and a presenting venue.” He also noted McCarter’s success as a presenter of world-class artists in dance, classical, pop, jazz, comedy magic, and performance art, thanks to Bill Lockwood, McCarter’s special programming director. The McCarter mission of connecting to the community is most appealing to Rosenberg. “I would like to enhance the strong relationships McCarter already has with its community partners . . . and if possible expand the number of those partnerships,” he said.

Rosenberg, who worked in San Diego for nine years, always had a hankering for the New York City region, because it was where he began his career in the theater, where he spent most of his professional life, and where he met his wife. “I am delighted to return to New Jersey, where I have continued to maintain a home during my time in California,” he said. Because his father was in the Air Force, he grew up without strong geographic roots, so when he connected with New York after college, it felt like home. Before La Jolla, Rosenberg was co, founder and executive director of a New - York non-profit theater collective, where for 14 years he produced new works by - several well-known writers including w Douglas Carter Beane, Warren Leight, Isaac Mizrahi, Paul Rudnick, and David and Amy Sedaris. His early work included stints in Atlantic City, at the Kennedy Center and with the National Dance Institute’s

Trenton residency. He credits both his successful career and marriage to his serendipitous befriending of a doorman at the Neil Simon Theater. That doorman was Douglas Carter Beane, whose works he went on to produce — and whose sister became his wife. Leslie Kuenne, president of the McCarter Board of Trustees, noted “We have just concluded the largest fundraising effort in McCarter’s 88-year history and have built a sound financial foundation for the future. With the completion of the Lewis Arts Complex on the Princeton University campus and two new restaurants at our doorstep, there is more creative energy coursing through our building than ever before. The board joins Emily Mann, Bill Lockwood, and the entire McCarter staff in welcoming Mike to McCarter.” Furthermore, Rosenberg should note that the new Arts and Transit Complex at Princeton University includes the WaWa — also the home of some great hoagies, when he needs one in a pinch.

Loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness could signal sleep disorder Do you find yourself excessively sleepy during the day, even when it seems like you’ve gotten enough sleep the night before? Do you nod off during the day or seem to fade out and have trouble concentrating? A sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea, may be responsible. Good sleep is essential for good health, and when sleep is compromised, there can be a range of effects, some potentially serious. The Sleep Center at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, which is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, provides a full-range of services to diagnose and treat sleep disorders in adults and children.

does some housekeeping, clearing proteins that may interfere with brain function. Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, affecting 12 million to 18 million American adults, according to the National Institutes of Health. Sleep apnea occurs when the upper airways repeatedly become blocked while you sleep, obstructing — and sometimes stopping — breathing for up to 60 seconds at a time throughout the night. This causes oxygen levels to fall and sleep to become fragmented and non-restorative. Left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious health consequences. Research shows sleep apnea is linked to conditions such as stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, mood disorders, and cardiac arrhythmias. Additionally, some data suggests that chronic insufficient sleep may

Health Matters Continued from Page 22B

Signs and symptoms Often in patients with sleep apnea, the bed partner is the first one to notice the symptoms including heavy snoring, interrupted breathing and gasping for air. In fact, in many instances patients have no idea these symptoms are occurring even if they are happening a hundred times a night. Although sleep apnea causes patients to wake up to breathe, these nighttime interruptions are not typically remembered. One of the other most common identifiers of sleep apnea is excessive daytime sleepiness. People with sleep apnea find themselves fading out easily and falling asleep at inappropriate times during the day. Morning headaches, irritability, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, clumsy or slow motor skills, and depression are also symptoms of sleep apnea. In addition to having an adverse affect on health, sleep apnea can also impact work performance, school and relationships. Diagnosis and treatment If you regularly feel sleepy during the day or fail to wake up refreshed or if your snoring is disrupting the sleep of a loved one, talk to your physician, who will likely suggest a

sleep study. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and your overall health, a sleep study may be performed at home or in a designated sleep center. Sleep studies are able to record breathing, airflow, oxygen levels, and heart rate and rhythm. Sleep studies performed in a sleep center are also able to record brainwaves and limb movements. Once diagnosed, sleep apnea may be treated with lifestyle changes such as losing weight, reducing alcohol intake, or changing your preferred sleep position from your back to your side for example. Oral appliances or mouthpieces may also be effective in repositioning your jaw or tongue to allow for unobstructed breathing. For moderate or severe sleep apnea, the most commonly recommended treatment is a CPAP machine. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. When used as prescribed, a CPAP can bring great benefits, and many users notice immediate changes in their quality of sleep. Occasionally, surgery may be required if the sleep apnea is due to an obstruction or structural complication, such as enlarged tonsils or jaw difficulties. For patients who are unable to use CPAP or in cases where CPAP is not effective, there is a new therapy available at Princeton Medical Center called targeted hypoglossal neurostimulation. With this therapy, an implant device sends pulses to the hypoglossal nerve in the neck to stimulate the tongue and prevent it from collapsing and blocking the airway. By keeping the airway clear, sleep apnea is significantly reduced or eliminated. Visit the Princeton Health on Demand UStream channel at www.ustream.tv/princetonhealth where you can watch a pre-recorded presentation to learn more about sleep disorders, including sleep apnea.

Clinton Honda Installs “Hearing Loops” to Enhance Customer Experience Clinton Honda, located on 1511 Route 22 East in Clinton NJ, has become the first automotive dealership in the region to install Hearing Loop Technology in their showroom and service departments. These loops offer customers needing a hearing boost in a busy environment “20/20 hearing” as they interact with Clinton Honda staff. This hearing loop system—designed by EMCOM Systems of Hamilton Township—is a free- standing wireless device that delivers a crystal-clear audio signal to customers’ hearing aids and cochlear implants, via a telecoil (T-coil). Most current hearing devices contain a T-Coil, but Clinton Honda customers without Tcoils may borrow a small EMCOM headset to make sure that they hear clearly. Clinton Honda customer Catherine Large Wetstein of Flemington, who has a hearing loss, spoke to Clinton Honda chairman Steve Kalafer about these devices, and how they can help an estimated 40,000 people in this area (12,000 residents in Hunterdon County alone) who live with some type of hearing loss. “As a business owner I believe we have an obligation to make everything clear and understandable when communicating with our customers,” said Kalafer. “I am happy to provide help to those who struggle with their hearing any way we can and to be able to contribute to a more positive interaction.” Hearing loss affects millions of Americans of all ages. About 20 percent of Americans (48 million) report some degree of treatable hearing loss. At age 65, one out of three individuals has some sort of hearing loss. In addition, hearing issues are the most common service-connected disabilities among American veterans: 2.3 million veterans receive either disability compensation for serviceconnected hearing disabilities or are in treatment for hearing-related issues. “If we can help and aid even a small percentage of those individuals and improve their experience at the dealership we are more than happy to do so,” said Kalafer. We hope our efforts are a means to installing Audio Loop Hearing Systems in many other businesses across the state.” Clinton Honda, owned by the Kalafer family, is located at 1511 Route 22 East in Clinton NJ, and is an authorized Honda Sales, Service and Parts facility. They offer sales/leasing on an inventory of over 450 available new and certified pre-owned vehicles and are open 6 days a week for service and parts.
