Democrats, Republicans announce primary candidates Incumbents Burchette, Suraci will not seek re-election this November

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

The race for a pair of threeyear terms on the Hillsborough Township Committee has officially begun, as candidates from both major political parties formally filed their petitions to run in the June 5 primary election.

The deadline for potential candidates to file petitions to run was Monday, April 2 and according to local party heads, four residents will vie for spots on the governing body. The Democrats will have Dr. James Bergstrom and Jeffrey A. Wright Sr. on their ticket, while the Republicans will

have Shawn Lipani and Ron Skobo on the ballot.

The two seats in question are currently held by Republicans Greg Burchette and Carl Suraci.

Since neither filed a petition to run this June, they will not be seeking re-election this November.

“I’m of the belief that you should do two terms and move on,” Burchette said. “There are good people to take over and it’s time to give somebody else a chance.”

Suraci said that despite not being on the Republican ticket, he plans on supporting his party.

“While disappointed that I did not receive the Hillsborough Republican Committee’s endorsement, I am committed to supporting the Hillsborough Republican team and working with the local and county teams to ensure victory in November,” he said.

Hillsborough Township Republican Committee Chair Helen Haines said the two outgoing committeemen served the township well.

“They have served the people of Hillsborough very well and the Republican party is very supportive and thankful of them,” she said. “We are also supportive of

new faces and new ideas.”

To that end, Haines described Lipani and Skobo as “dynamic individuals” who have lived in the township for decades.

According to Haines, Lipani currently serves as the Hillsborough Township Planning Board chairman. Over the years, he has also been a member of the Somerset County Planning Board, the Hillsborough Economic and Business Development Commission (EDBC), the Hillsborough Board of Adjustment, the Capital Planning Board, the Hillsborough Rotary Club, and the Youth Services Commission.

Lipani is a life-long resident, a small business owner and is married with one daughter. He received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Rochester.

“I know the importance of fighting to keep taxes low and how to help businesses thrive in this ever changing global marketplace,” Lipani said. “Having the opportunity to give back to the town that has given me so much is a true honor.”

For Skobo, who has lived in Hillsborough for the last 45 years, the chance to run for the govern-

Zwicker bill moves to reduce voting age for primaries

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A bill making its way through the state legislature could make it possible for 17-year-olds to have an impact at the ballots later this year, as lawmakers move to open primaries to a younger block of voters.

Under the bill, dubbed the “New Voter Empowerment Act,” 17-year-old registered voters will be able to participate in primary elections if they would be 18-years-old on or by the following general election. The legislation mirrors similar efforts that have recently been made into law in 21 other states, as well as the District of Columbia.

Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker (D, District 16), who introduced the bill to the state Assembly State and Local Government Committee back in January, said the issue was an important one for democracy as a whole.

“When I first got elected in 2015, we had less than 25 percent of the registered voters participating. If you skew that down to the younger people, it’s just abysmally low,” Zwicker said. “I look at this as a critical function of our democracy to make voting accessible to as many people as possible.”

With support from fellow Assembly Democrats and fellow primary sponsors Jamel Holley (District 20), Tim Eustace (District 38), Arthur Barclay (District 5), Angela McKnight (District 31) and Raj Mukherji (District 33), the bill was scheduled to go for a final vote in the state Assembly just after publication Thursday.

Leading up to the vote, Eu-

stace echoed Zwicker’s sentiments regarding its importance for the political process moving forward.

“As a matter of principle, all eligible voters should be able to take part in both the primary and the general election,” Eustace said. “This legislation will make that basic notion the law in New Jersey.”

With a Democratic majority in the legislature and a Democratic governor in Phil Murphy, Zwicker said he was confident that the bill would be signed into law if it passed.

That being said, however, the assemblyman was quick to point out that the bill did not stem from partisan politics.

“There’s no partisanship about this,” he said. “Young people skew Democrat, sure, and people have criticized me on Facebook for trying to create votes, but this bill is giving people a chance to register for whatever party they want. Once a registered voter, always a voter.”

In the wake of the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Fla., a push to lower the voting age to 16 years old has been gaining traction. In Washington D.C., for example, a council member there introduced legislation to do just that in order to drive up youth participation in local and federal races.

Though the “New Voter Empowerment Act” would not go that far, Zwicker said he was confident in the state’s 17-year-olds and their ability to participate See BILL, Page 3A

Pictured left, more than 1,000 racers gathered at the Hillsborough YMCA to warm up before the start of the 2016 Hop 5K.

Local man wanted on drug charges Local and county authorities are searching for a man from the Hillsborough and Manville areas for failing to appear in court for a pair of drug-related warrants.

According to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, Evan Stockwell is currently being sought after by law enforcement officials. He was recently featured by the prosecutor’s office as the “fugitive of the week.”

The two arrest warrants stem from his failure to appear at the Somerset County Superior Court,

in Somerville, for the original charges of third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance and third degree attempt to possess a controlled dangerous substance.

Stockwell was described by officials as a white man, standing 5’6″ tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. His last known address was 7 Downbury Court in Hillsborough, but he has also spent time in Manville Borough from time to time.

Detectives at the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office request that anyone with information regarding Stockwell or his whereabouts call 908-526-2500 and ask for the office’s on-call fugitive supervisor.

For the Democrats, both Bergstrom and Wright were described as “highly educated professionals with backgrounds that will serve the public well” who had the full support of both the Hillsborough Democratic Organization and the Hillsborough Democratic Alliance.

“We are excited to have smart, thoughtful, and community oriented candidates in a year when people want

to see a change in the way government serves the public,” John Beggiato, chairman of the Hillsborough Democratic Organization, said. “[Bergstrom and Wright] have demonstrated a strong commitment to our township and to democratic ideals at national, state, and local levels.”

According to officials, Bergstrom has lived in the township for more than 30 years and has sent his three children to the Hillsborough Township Public School system. He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Elmhurst College and earned a doctorate in the same subject from Arizona State University. Since then, he has conducted research at the University of Nevada, Reno and at University of California, Los

Angeles.

Bergstrom had a 20year career at Merck and Co. working on discovering new drugs at the Merck Sharpe and Dohme Research Center in Rahway before becoming a director and medical/scientific writer for Mountain Stream Communications, LLC, a medical communications company he formed with his wife Dr. Lisa Bergstrom.

As a resident, Bergstrom has coached and umpired for Hillsborough Little League, and coached boys’ and girls’ youth basketball programs. He also played in the Hillsborough Over-30 league for a number of years. He was also a founding member of the Friends of Hillsborough Open Space (FOHOS).

Bergstrom has also

served as president of the Hillsborough Democratic Alliance and as chairman of the Hillsborough Democratic Organization. He is a member of the Democratic County Committee from District 8 (Wertsville Road).

A Hillsborough resident since 2014, Wright grew up in Piscataway and holds a bachelor of science degree in general business and finance from Norfolk State University. He is currently employed at Garden State Securities, Inc. as an investment adviser representative and financial adviser.

Before moving to Hillsborough, Wright served on the Piscataway Zoning Board of Adjustment for five years, as well as the Open Space Committee and Senior Citizens Committee. He coached Little

League Baseball for three years. Wright is a master mason and a member of the Society of Free and Accepted Masons of New Jersey – Alpha Lodge 116.

Wright currently serves as the treasurer of Bethel Presbyterian Church and is also running for the Democratic County Committee from District 9 (Country Classics).

“Local government should improve the lives of all residents in our town, and needs to have a tight connection to all of the public in order to effectively provide necessary and desired services,” Wright said. “We will provide excellent direction and oversight in budgeting, planning, and the complete scope of local services that our township’s residents expect.”

of teenage activism that we haven’t seen since perhaps the 1960s. We are watching teenagers throughout the country being incredibly involved politically,” he said. “They spoke with such tremendous eloquence…there’s a momen-

tum and energy that is I think just infusing politics nationwide.”

After the Assembly vote, the bill will go before the state Senate for a final vote. If passed there, it will go before Gov. Murphy, who will have the option

to sign or veto the potential law.

Regardless of the outcome, Zwicker said working for a potential increase in voter participation could help address some of the perceived problems facing democracy.

“My pure concern is the erosion of our democracy overall. People feel so disillusioned with politics and that goes well beyond the last year and a half.

Whether it is changing our primaries or implementing early voting and instant

registration…I think these are all different ways to try to increase voter participation,” he said. “That to me is so critical because if we don’t have an informed electorate, then I think our democracy will continue to become eroded.”

New film tells story of how Petty’s Island was saved

Imagine a 500-acre island oasis for birds and wildlife, and an urban nature education center, in the Delaware River between Camden and Philadelphia.

Fifteen years ago, an improbable alliance formed. Petty’s Island’s owner, the CITGO Petroleum Corporation, teamed up with environmentalists from across New Jersey and local urban residents to preserve the island.

The battle to preserve Petty’s Island is captured in “500 Acres of Controversy: Saving Petty’s Island,” a new documentary to be premiered at Princeton Environmental Film Festival on Sunday, April 15, at 1:15 p.m. at the Princeton Library.

“I think Petty’s Island will rank right up there with Liberty State Park and Central Park as iconic open space,” said Michael Catania, chairman of the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust, which commissioned the film.

Despite being less than a mile from millions of people, Petty’s Island was a place few people had heard of and even fewer had visited. Once a Native American hunting ground, the island was an industrial site for most of the 20th century and off-limits to the public.

In 2003, CITGO decided to close its facility and sell Petty’s Island. Cherokee, a housing developer, proposed a billion dollar project with views of the Philadelphia skyline. Some eagerly anticipated the tax dollars the project would bring in.

Then something unexpected happened. A pair of bald eagles, an endangered species, was discovered nesting on Petty’s Island. This was a first for Camden County.

“When you have bald eagles nesting in a place, they’re entitled to a certain level of protection with a perimeter around the nest,” explained Catania. CITGO officials then shifted gears and offered to donate the entire island to the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust as a nature preserve.

The free island was turned down when the McGreevey administration, which had several voting representatives on the Trust, refused the donation.

But the story didn’t end there. Scandal erupted after a baby bald eagle was found mortally injured on the ground on Petty’s Island … and a developer’s consultant was accused. Public opinion turned against the development.

More pressure for preserving Petty’s Island came from local residents who would have been displaced by plans to bulldoze thousands of Camden homes in the Cramer Hill neighborhood and redevelop the waterfront facing Petty’s Island.

By 2009, plans to develop Petty’s Island had unraveled. The New Jersey Natural Lands Trust asked CITGO if its donation offer was still good – and the corporation said yes! This time, the Corzine administration directed its representatives to join with the environmental community and support the donation.

Today, Petty’s Island is in the midst of an amazing transformation from a marine terminal and oil storage facility into a public nature preserve.

“Petty’s Island is really special because it’s such a large piece of semi-natural habitat along a great river, the Delaware River, between two gigantic cities,” said Dr. Emile DeVito, staff biologist at New Jersey Conservation Foundation, who was interviewed in the documentary. “It’s going to be a great wildlife park.”

“500 Acres of Controversy” is one of a handful of New Jersey-centered films chosen for the Princeton Environmental Film Festival, which runs from April 8 through 15.

For the full Princeton Environmental Film Festival schedule, go to https://www.princetonlibrary.org/peff/ schedule/.

To visit Petty’s Island, sign up for one of New Jersey Natural Lands Trust’s hikes and tours www.njaudubon. org. Access to the island is currently limited to these trips, which are organized and operated for the Trust by New Jersey Audubon.

For more information about the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust, visit their website at www.nj.gov.njnlt.

COLLEGE CONNECTION

One stop shopping for 350+ colleges worldwide

Where should students start the information gathering process in their search to find the perfect college? The answer may be very close to home.

Hillsborough High School is hosting its 13th annual College Fair this Monday, April 16, from 6:30-8 p.m.

Representatives from more than 60 colleges and universities, mostly in the NY/NJ/PA area, will be hosting tables filled with materials and will be available to answer individual questions on any college-related topic. All local and neighboring high school students and parents are welcome to attend.

The following week, Mercer County Community College will hold a similar fair on Tuesday, April 24 from 6-8 p.m. Typically, more than 200 colleges and universities are represented at this regional fair.

On a larger scale, the Meadowlands in Secaucus will host a National College Fair on Wednesday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to noon and 5-8 p.m. Admission officials from more than 350 colleges and universities worldwide will be present to encourage prospective students to learn more about their institutions. Colleges in 32 states, the District of Columbia, eight countries (Italy, China, England, Switzerland, France, Ireland, Spain and Canada) and Australia will be represented. So, too, will branches of the military

and some 50 art institutes.

The best news is that admission to all of these fairs is free, so students and parents have the perfect opportunity for “one stop shopping” to gather answers to all of their college-related questions.

To make the most of this opportunity, students should do their homework in advance. They should make a list of the colleges in which they are specifically interested, and questions to which they are seeking answers. Then, while talking to each college representative, students should ask for a business card. Once home, students should email the reps of colleges in which they are particularly interested, thanking them for their time and information and expressing interest in their school. This is the basis of establishing a relationship with the college rep, who is often the same person who will be making the decision as to who is accepted or rejected to the school.

Attending a college fair is likewise the perfect opportunity for parents to get answers regarding their concerns – often related to financing a college education.

There is nothing like touring the grounds of a college campus and experiencing, first hand, what the school has to offer. But with more than 3,500 colleges in the U.S., and more than 800 colleges within 300 miles of central New

Jersey, students should narrow down their search to potential “good fit colleges” before embarking on their road trips. A local, regional, or national college fair can provide the much-needed information to start a productive college search.

George Thorogood and the Destroyers are bringing their hits to the State Theatre

By Anthony Stoeckert

Veteran rocker George Thorogood's current tour is making a stop in New Brunswick.

By Bob Brown

fter a quick introduction to start a phone interview, George Thorogood is asked how he’s doing.

“Bad,” he says.

“To the bone?” he’s asked.

“That’s the idea.”

It’s a nod to “Bad to the Bone,” the 1982 song by Thorogood and his band the Destroyers. It wasn’t a hit when first released, but airplay on MTV in its early days, appearances in movies (“Christine,” “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”) and countless spins on classic rock stations have helped make the six-chord opening riff an iconic rock ’n’ roll moment.

It’s one of the classics Thorogood and the Destroyers will play April 19 at the State Theatre in New Brunswick.

And while Thorogood says he’s bad, he sets big expectations for the night.

“It will be a combination of my entire existence as a rock star extraordinaire,” he says. “A rock show people have ever seen before, like they will never see again.”

Really?

“I don’t know,” he says. “It sounds good, though, doesn’t it?”

Thorogood's other hits include “I Drink Alone” and his rowdy, guitardriven versions of “Move It on Over,” “Who Do You Love?” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.”

Thorogood jokes around a lot during an interview. When asked what he likes about playing live he says, “My father used to say, ‘Whenever you have a chance to get out of work, take it.’” When asked what’s kept the Destroyers together so long he quips, “Probably my winning and charming personality.”

But when asked what sparked his love of blues and rock ’n’ roll, he starts talking in more depth, giving props to the legends who inspired him.

“I just looked at all the other bands that I was turned onto when I was a kid — the Beatles, the Stones and Dylan, a few of the other ones, the J. Geils Band, Led Zeppelin,

the Butterfield Blues Band, John Hammond. I looked at all these people and said, ‘How did they learn to play?’

It’s like saying, if you went to Martin Scorsese and said, ‘What film school did you go to, because that’s the one I want to go to.’ It was a natural thing to say I want to get up there and do what Elvin Bishop does or what Ry Cooper does.

“I wanted to play guitar like Keith Richards, perform like Mick Jagger and have my hair look like Brian Jones,” Thorogood continues. “And I said in order to do that, you have to listen to a lot of Bo Diddley.”

The legendary Bo Diddley, in fact, appeared in the video for “Bad to the Bone.” Thorogood says figuring out that guitar heritage was easier said than done.

“It was simple to figure it out, it wasn't simple to apply it; that’s a whole different story,” he says. “It’s one thing to say, ‘We gotta listen to some Robert Johnson and play like Muddy Waters, then if you want to play like Bo Diddley, you gotta play like Muddy Waters; if you want to play like Brian Jones you gotta play like Bo Diddley.

It’s all connected. But you gotta start with the roots first, and that’s easier said than done.”

Thorogood paid tribute to his musical inspirations with “2120 South Michigan Ave.,” his 2011 album on which he covered songs by artists who recorded for the legendary Chess record label, including Diddley, Chuck Berry and Willie Dixon. The album’s title refers to Chess Records’ Chicago address, and it’s also the name of an early instrumental by the Rolling Stones, which Thorogood recorded for the album.

“We needed more songs,” Thorogood said of recording the little-known Stones song. “I didn’t even know we were going to use that song; we were fooling around with it and then decided we’d hire a really good harmonica player, Charlie Musselwhite, to blow the harp on it.

We tried to get Mick Jagger, but he was

unavailable.”

The Destroyers have seen some lineup changes over the years, but two members of the band — drummer Jeff Simon and bassist Bill Blough — have been playing with Thorogood since the ’70s. Guitarist Jim Suhler has been in the band since 1999, and the newest member, Buddy Leach, who plays sax and piano, has been with the group for 15 years.

When asked why he stays with the same guys, Thorogood goes back to his efforts to avoid hard work.

“Shaking it up, taking new people to break them in, that takes time and a lot of effort,” he says.

And when he’s dealt with changes, he didn’t love the experience.

“It’s a real drag getting new

people,” he says. “It’s not inspiring, it’s hard work. And usually they don’t get it right anyway and by the time they get it right, the tour is over.”

As vinyl records continue their comeback, Universal recently rereleased three classic albums by Thorogood — 1982's “Bad the Bone,” 1988’s “Born the Be Bad” and the compilation, “30 Years of Rock” — on vinyl.

When it’s noted to Thorogood that music lovers are going back to vinyl, he quips, “It’s so old, it’s new.”

George Thorogood and the Destroyers will perform at the State Theatre, 15 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick, April 19, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $36-$76; www. stnj.org; 732-246-7469.

ON STAGE

By Keith Loria

TV Vet Is a Real ‘Nerd’ Jonathan Kite of '2 Broke Girls' is starring in a laugh-filled farce at George Street Playhouse

For six seasons, comedian Jonathan Kite portrayed the sex-crazed Ukrainian cook Oleg Golishevsky on the CBS hit, “2 Broke Girls,” but to hear the actor talk in his normal voice, you’d never know it was him.

Born and raised outside of Chicago, Kite studied drama at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and spent a lot of time crafting different voices for roles in theater and on the comedy stage.

“I grew up doing theater and went to summer stock for years,” he says. “It wasn’t until I moved out to Los Angeles that I even did anything in film or television. All the stuff I grew up watching was in theater and that’s what inspired me to get involved in the profession.”

Kite will be soon appearing on stage at George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, leading the cast in Larry Shue’s “The Nerd,” playing April 24 to May 20.

The play, directed by Kevin Cahoon, also features Ann Harada, Colin Hanlon, Kate Reinders, Zach Shaffer and Stephen Wallem.

The story is set during the birthday party of Willum (Hanlon), who is thrilled when Rick (Kite), a fellow ex-soldier who saved Willum’s life, stops by to wish him good cheer. Upon realizing that Rick will overstay his welcome with a vengeance, Willum puts together an outrageous plan to rid himself of this wacky GI who came to dinner.

“The play takes place in 1979 and starts with the 34th birthday of this man whose

life was saved many years ago in Vietnam by an anonymous stranger for all intents and purposes,” Kite says. “They had been communicating and many years ago made the offer that he would love to meet him and he’d always have a place to stay.”

When offered the role in this living room comedy, Kite jumped at the chance, calling it a rare opportunity since he lives in Los Angeles. In fact, he actually had an old copy of the script from his time in college and although he never performed in it before, Kite knew the play very well and knew it would be a fun show to be a part of.

“I’m very lucky to be able to play Rick, the nerd, it’s a part I’ve wanted to play for a long time,” he says. “This is such a wellknown show and I love farce; it’s one of my favorite things to be a part of and certainly to watch. Everything was the perfect storm — the rehearsals and show fit with the time I had available, which is something that usually keeps me from accepting things like this.”

Part of the message of the play, Kite notes, is that people need to stand up for themselves.

“Your life is in your own hands and even when you think it’s not, it’s your job to take it back,” he says. “People in the theater start out doing this for the love of the game, but it is a business and there needs to be a balance of those two things. I think that’s what the story is for Willum. He has a passion and there’s a business aspect of it pulling at him the whole show. At the end of the day, he realizes he needs to do it his

Jonathan Kite is playing the title character in George Street Playhouse’s production of “The Nerd.” own way to be happy.”

When not acting, Kite hits the standup circuit and is known for being an expert impressionist, boasting more than 100 celebrity impressions, including Vince Vaughn, Tom Hanks, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen, Mark Wahlberg, and Liam Neeson. His newest is celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain.

“People like impressions. It’s a cool parlor trick and if you can do someone who people haven’t heard before, it’s like a magic trick,” he says. “That’s how I started doing standup. I would string them together in a coherent story that related to me and the audience and the experience I was going through in Hollywood.”

He also does voice work for animated series, such as Adult Swim’s “Black Dynamite” and FOX’s “Family Guy” and “American Dad.” TV viewers may soon get the chance to see Kite back on their screens soon, as he’s shooting a guest spot on a CBS show and is looking for the right project that would get him back full time. To that end, he’s writing his own series and hopes that will come to fruition in the next year.

“I was incredibly privileged and lucky to play Oleg because it took a lot of chances, which is not always the way on TV,” Kite says. “I’m happy people were convinced I was that guy because that’s the job. The writing was fantastic and the whole situation was a great one for me. I try to take that to the theater world, where you can take bigger leaps and I want to find a similar project on TV that I will be just as passionate about.”

“The Nerd” is being performed at George Street Playhouse’s temporary theater at 103 College Farm Road on the Rutgers University campus, April 24 to May 20; www.georgestreetPlayhouse.org; 732-2467717.

BALLET

By Anthony Stoeckert

ARB Honors Its Inspirations American Repertory Ballet is presenting a triple play this spring.

The company’s program “Generations: Influences from the Modern Age” will offer three ballets by Jose Limon, Gerald Arpino and Douglas Martin, the ARB’s artistic director.

The program, which will be performed at McCarter Theatre, April 20, will open with Limon’s “There is a Time.” ARB presented the premiere of the work in 2015 during the Jose Limon International Dance Festival in New York.

The other works on the program, “Sea Shadow” and “Rite of Spring,” were performed by Martin when he was a principal dancer with the Joffrey Ballet.

“Sea Shadow,” set to music by Maurice Ravel and choreographed by Arpino, is a story of a man who falls in live with a being who lives in the sea. It will be danced by Aldeir Monteiro and Nanako Yamamoto.

“There’s no storyline, there are ideas, but it’s up to the audience’s interpretation, and the dancers,” Monteiro says of “Sea Shadow.” “So my idea of it is that I’m on a beach

; e ; f ) .

by myself. And I’m just hanging out there and enjoying it.

And then suddenly I just fall asleep and then I dream of this beautiful ocean creature that comes along.”

His interpretation he says, is the man on the beach is thinking of a love who’s far away. In the dream, the person he loves becomes this ocean creature.

“We take over the ocean; we just swim and enjoy each other, that’s kind of my idea of the ballet,” Monteiro says.

Yamamoto says this is the first time she and Monteiro are dancing “Sea Creature,” and they started working on it late in 2017.

Trinette Singleton, who works with the ARB as a guest choreographer, danced the piece in 1969. Martin danced it in 1989 and the two dancers have been working with Yamamoto and Monteiro on their performance. One thing Singleton told Yamamoto is she didn’t count when she danced “Sea Creature.”

“She never counted when she used to perform it,” Yamamoto says. “It’s one of those things that you have to get very very familiar with, the music, to the point where you can you can almost sing to it, from the beginning to

the end. . . . I didn’t understand that [at first] but now that we’ve been on it for so long, it just naturally happens to the body.”

Singleton also told Yamamoto the sea creature she plays never has seen the world outside of the water.

“She’s very curious at first and then she finds a man on the beach, but she’s never seen a human before,” Yamamoto says. “We have a one-second scene where we have clear eye contact, then from then on- it’s the emotions and feelings built up.”

The program will conclude with “Rite of Spring,” choreographed by Martin, inspired by works the company Ballet Russes brought to America in the early 20th century. Martin has set the story in 1961 corporate America, similar to “Mad Men,” and explores offices relations and gender roles.

American Repertory Ballet will present “Generations: Influences from the Modern Age” at McCarter Theatre, 90 University Place, Princeton, April 20, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20-$50; www.mccarter.org; 609-258-2787.

Are You Ready to Bach?

The Dryden Ensemble is wrapping up a season devoted to the baroque master

The Dryden Ensemble devoted its 2017-18 season to Johann Sebastian Bach, and it’s wrapping up the celebration with a concert featuring Bach, and a little more.

The baroque ensemble will present two performances of “Bach & Beyond,” April 21 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury, Pennsylvania, and April 22 at Miller Chapel in Princeton. The concerts will open with Bach’s Sonata in C Major for flute and continuo; followed by his Fantasy and Fugue in A Minor for solo harpsichord.

The “beyond” will come during the second half with Johann Gottlieb Janitsch’s Quartet in G Minor; Georg Philipp’s Telemann’s Quartet in E Minor for flute,

violin, viola da gamba and continuo; and Quintent in C Major by Johann Christian Bach, son of Johann Sebastian.

Ensemble member Lisa Terry will play cello during the Janitsch piece. Janitsch worked with another son of Bach’s, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Terry describes the Janitsch as an “extraordinary” piece with a prominent oboe. It also includes the chorale “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden (O Sacred Head, Now Wounded), which Bach used in his Passion settings.

“The way Janitsch writes is not like anybody else,” Terry says. “He’s from a different part of Europe, a little bit later in style, almost classical in style. The three upper parts — the oboe, viola and violin

— they do all these intricate, interactive melodies with each other.

“Then I and the harpsichord are playing eighth-note accompaniment . . . All we do is pulsing eighth notes through the bar, mostly on one pitch, and sometimes changing per bar.”

She says each movement has its different style, so she may be playing subtly in the first movement and then more actively and bouncy in the second movement.

“I look at a chart and it looks like the same stuff throughout all four movements,” Terry says. “But then when I have to articulate it, I have to do really different things. It’s a really beautiful piece.”

Terry will play viola da gamba during Telemann’s Quartet in E Minor.

“That’s a prominent role for the viola da gamba, it’s a solo part,” she says. “I switch gears from playing continuo in the Janitsch to playing a solo part in the Telemann. That’s flute, violin and viola d gamba playing interactive melodies with each other, accompanied by harpsichord.”

Then the Johann Christian Bach quintet features oboe, flute, violin and continio.

Terry says that work is almost a classical period music as opposed to baroque, which creates a nice balance for the concert.

“It’s nice we have both baroque and pre-classical music on this concert,” she says. “It will be a lovely contrast.”

It’s music that is both fun and challenging for her to play.

“I get to use my skills taking rather simple-looking music and making it exactly fit what’s needed, and also play some challenging solo parts where I have to really lead and be responsible in a different way,” she says. “I get to play two instruments and use different kinds of skills on each.”

Terry’s interest in baroque music began in college, where she was a cello major at a music school at the University of Memphis.

“In my first year, our orchestra did the

St. John Passion of J.S. Bach and a professor at the school was playing the viola da gamba solo in the beautiful ‘Es ist vollbracht!’ — the alto aria toward the end of the work. That’s for just alto and gamba and it’s incredible. When I heard that, I knew I had to learn to play this instrument; I thought it was incredibly beautiful.”

The next year, she took a music history class and learned about baroque and renaissance music.

“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, and I wanted to do it,” Terry says. “It took me a few years after moving to New York to decide to totally specialize. I was still playing cello and learning concertos and playing in orchestras, but I gave up playing that kind of cello a long time ago.”

She lives in New York City and plays in a few groups, including one that plays new, commissioned works for a viol consort, which features four instruments of different sizes, similar to a string quartet.

“It’s really great because the composers who are interested in writing for us, they are fond of the sound, they’re intrigued by the beautiful quality of the viola da gamba, and the viola cosort,” Terry says.

Also noteworthy about the Dryden concerts, Terry says, is they will feature baroque flute on the J.C. Bach piece, played by guest artists Taya Konig-Tarasevich.

“We hardly ever in our history of the Dryden Ensemble have used flute because mostly the chamber music we do is for violin and oboe, that combination,” Terry says. “So to use flute is a departure and it gives us a chance to do other kinds of music that we don’t usually do. That’s nice.”

IN CONCERT

t

By Anthony Stoeckert

Orchestra to Honor Rachmaninoff Pianist Clipper Erickson will join the NJ Capital Philharmonic for a perfomance of the composer's second concerto Clipper Erickson first started playing music by Sergei Rachmaninoff when he was a student at The Juilliard School in the 1970s. He played some of the Russian composer’s preludes and etudes, but it wasn’t until 10 years after he finished at Juilliard when Erickson first played Rachmaninoff’s famed Second Concerto.

“I always wanted to play it but I felt like I needed more experience playing other things before I tackled that,” Erickson says. “The opportunity came and I said, ‘OK, let’s go for it,’” That was in the 1980s and Erickson has played the piece a few times since, and he’s set to play it again during “The Great Rachmaninoff,” the next concert by the New Jersey Capital Philharmonic at Patriots Theatre at the War Memorial in Trenton, April 21. The concert is being done in part to honor a famed 1940 concert Rachmaninoff performed at the War Memorial.

Erickson will be the guest performer for the second concerto. The orchestra also will play Rachmaninoff’s “Symphonic Dances.” Erickson says the collaboration came about because he knows Dan Spalding, the symphony’s music director and conductor, and Spalding’s wife, the pianist Gabriela Imreh. He also knows some of the philharmonic’s musicians because many of them played in the Greater Trenton Symphony Orchestra, with whom he performed.

“I’ve always been interested in [the philharmonic], and happy that they’re bringing music back to Trenton and back to the War Memorial, so I’ve been corresponding with them and we’ve been thinking about some ideas

about what to play,” Erickson says. “And when Dan asked me last summer to play the Rachmaninoff 2, I was really, really overjoyed to do that. I love playing that piece and it’s a really special event to be able to do that, particularly in view of Rachmaninoff’s own visit there in 1940.”

There are several reasons why he enjoys playing the second concerto.

“Of course it’s one of the most famous and favorite of piano concertos in general,” he says. “It just has such great melodies and wonderful harmonies. I think it’s a really wonderfully put-together piece.”

It’s a well-known work of music, often played by orchestras. It’s also made its way into pop culture, in classic movies like “Brief Encounter” and “The Seven Year Itch.”

More recently, it was heard in the TV series “Pretty Little Liars.” Erickson says some people think that when something is popular, it might not live up to its reputation, but this concerto does.

“It has such terrific material, wonderful integration between the piano and the orchestra,” he says. “It’s a very strongly constructed piece besides it being so attractive and dramatic.”

It’s also known as a challenging work.

“It certainly has its difficulties, there’s no doubt about that,” Erickson says. “When he first wrote it, for many, many years, no one else would dare to play it. That’s the case also with No. 3; for decades he was the only one to play it because he kind of owned it. Of course, he was a master player too, besides being a composer, so he really owned the piece for a long time until people started be-

coming daring enough to perform it on its own. Now it’s played quite a bit but it still has quite a lot of challenges.”

Coincidentally, Erickson is playing the second concerto twice within a week, as he also was asked to perform it in Illinois, April 28.

“It will be completely different,” he says. “It’s two different orchestras and then two different conductors, two different venues. You have to remake it every time.”

Playing it now is also a different experience from when he first played it, he says.

“When I first played it, I learned it very quickly,” Erickson says. “So it was sort of trying it out and seeing how I could deal with it. But then as you play something through your life, it grows with you and changes. It requires more depth, hopefully, it has your personality changes as you grow. One of the cool things about playing music is that it’s not the same performance every time. As you change and you live your life, the way you play something changes also.”

Erickson also records music, with some of his recent releases being “My Cup Runneth Over,” his recording of Nathaniel Dett, the early 20th-century African American composer and an album of music by David Pinko, and two pieces written by Richard Broadbank, composer emeritus at Temple University, where Erickson teachers.

Right off the bat, Music Mountain Theatre’s production of “Grease” lets you know you’re in for a night of terrific singing. The show opens with the cast singing “Alma Mater,” which is essentially a choral version of “We Go Together.” It’s a fun opening — hearing lyrics like “rama lama lama ka dinga de dinga dong” as if they’re being sung by a church choir is pretty hard to resist.

And it’s hard to resist the charms of this show, on stage in Lambertville through April 22. It isn’t perfect, but there’s more than enough good stuff to satisfy fans of this classic, as well as anyone who’s never seen the show or movie.

“Grease” opened on Broadway in 1972 and ran for nearly eight years. It also was made into a smash 1978 film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Set at Rydell High School in the late ’50s, “Grease” focuses on two groups of teenagers — the Pink Ladies and the greaser gang Burger Palace Boys (changed to the T-Birds in the movie). These teens are focused on cars, music, dancing, fashion and sex — everything except schoolwork.

It’s the first day of school and Sandy Dumbrowski (Jaimie Geddes) becomes fast friends with Frenchy (Jill Palena), who introduces the new girl to the other Pink Ladies: Rizzo (Ali McMullen); Marty (Lauren Brader); and Jan (Morgan Tarrant).

Sandy tells them about her summer at the beach and a boy she met, Danny Zuko (Harrison Pharamond). This gets laughs from the ladies, and we find out Danny goes to Rydell. So what a perfect time to meet the Burger Palace Boys. In addition to Danny, there’s Kenickie (Karl Weigand); Sonny (Tom Farber); Roger (Rhett Commodaro); and Doody (Matt Robertson).

The Pink Ladies are excited to bring Sandy and Danny together but after his initial outburst of joy over seeing his summer love, Danny tries to act cool in front of his friends, pretending he’s indifferent to Sandy. Pharamond gets some big laughs during the bit.

That drives what little plot the show has. Other stories include the innocent Sandy trying to fit with her tough friends, Kenickie’s car, which he calls Greased Lightning, a rumble, a pregnancy scare and Frenchy dropping out of high school.

It’s the numbers that make the show. “Summer Nights” is indeed a blast, with the back and forth between the boys and girls.

Geddes brings a terrific voice and fine acting to Sandy.

Ali McMullen is a standout as Rizzo, bringing the house down with “There Are Worse Things I Can Do.” But the best number of the night might be a lesserknown song — “Mooning” — sung by Commodaro and Tarrant. It’s a weird song, about Roger’s passion for pull-

ing his pants down to show people his backside, but these two sing it with humor and charm.

The show’s funniest moments come from supporting characters — Jordan Brennan is a scream as the nerdy Eugene. Louis Palena plays Vince Fontaine, the local DJ who hosts a dance contest at the school (and flirts with Marty). Louis Palena also plays the Teen Angel, who sings “Beauty School Dropout” to Frency. It’s a terrific moment, Palena sings with confidence and suave and the costumes worn by the cast members in this number are a hoot — especially Palena’s spray-painted Chuck Taylors.

Palena and Brennan also directed and choreographed, and have assembled a terrific cast — everyone brings lots of energy to the show.

A few numbers felt flat, and the transitions from scene to scene weren’t always smooth. But those hiccups don’t get in the way of the fun.

And some moments — like Kenickie, during “Summer Nights” asking if Sandy “put up a fight” don’t play well inC the MeToo era; they never should have played well. And that ending — oy! Mad magazine mocked it 40 years ago, and it’s worse than ever. Just as Danny stands up for himself and decides to be his own man, Sandy remakes herself to win him over. But classic musicals are time capsules, so it’s best to bring some perspective and enjoy the talent Music Mountain Theatre is offering.

“Grease” continues at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, through April 22. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 3 p.m. The April 15 performance will include American Sign Language interpretation.

Get wild this spring

I have a mental image, and maybe a photograph somewhere, of my Armenian grandmother out in the yard in the spring, bent over and using the gathered folds of her skirt to hold tender young dandelion greens. Closer to the driveway and walkways, she would have been seeking out succulent stems of purslane, which likes to grow in cracks and on the edges. Long after she was gone, my father cruised the back roads looking for wild grapevines so he could pick tender leaves to stuff with rice, currants, and pine nuts, although my fastidious mother chided him if he picked too close to the road where exhaust fumes and pesticide spray were a threat.

Foraging is back in style now, with some ambitious seekers even making a business of bringing their haul to local restaurants for seasonal specials. When I polled local chefs on their favorite spring foods, several mentioned greens. “We have a spring ritual here at Bobolink, a cheese soufflé-omelet with lots of wild garlic chives, the first taste of springtime!” said Jonathan White who owns the famous Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse in Milford with his wife Nina.

Chef Rennie DiLorenzo, owner of 12 Farms restaurant in Hightstown, responded, “We are looking forward to asparagus, which we will be serving as a side as well as cream of asparagus soup.

Also ramps will be used to make a ramp pesto for our homemade pasta. And rhubarb will be used for dessert, a strawberry rhubarb pie. We are going to be shucking a lot of peas too. We would like to do ‘risi bisi’ Which is risotto with fresh peas, potentially even sweet pea ravioli.”

Ramps (wild leeks) are especially prized by local chefs since they are not widely cultivated (seven years to maturity!) and their availability in the wild is increasingly rare. Foragers need to show some restraint in harvesting to protect future supplies.

Fortunately, though, frilly wild arugula is easily cultivated

Springtime dishes from Lucy’s Kitchen & Market include an Asian radish and cucumber salad. now, and I remember being the “first one on my block” to order seeds of once-wild Arugula Selvatica. It’s much smaller than the messy bunches of large-lobed leaves that I used to purchase, and far more commonly used today.

Caron Wendell, co-owner of Lucy’s Kitchen & Market in Princeton, tells me they offer a salad with “beautiful watermelon radish with arugula and feta cheese,” in addition to a cucumber/radish salad with sesame vinaigrette.

Marcia Willsie, proprietor of Ezekiel’s Table (a cooking school not currently in operation), shared her love of nettles, which lose their sting when cooked into an emerald soup. “They must be eaten when young, however,” she added, and she combines them with spring peas for her soup, which you will find at ezekielstable.com/nettling- again.

Nettle soup Adapted from “Joy of Cooking,” Rombauer and Becker, Bobbs-Merrill (1975). About 5 cups.

I can still feel the painful sting when I brushed by a patch of nettles on a hike years ago. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when you pick and handle the raw greens.

Feel free to purée this soup before serving, if that’s your style.

— F.B. 1 quart nettle tops 5 cups stock, at a simmer (chicken is nice)

2 tablespoons cooked rice or oatmeal (potato would work, too) Salt and pepper to taste Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands. Remove the central stems from the nettle tops, saving the tender leaves and discarding the stems. Blend the cooked rice or oatmeal into the stock and then add the nettles. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes, which eliminates the sting. Season to taste and serve.

Spaghetti with dandelion greens and cured fish roe (Spaghetti con cicoria e bottarga) Adapted from “Tasting Rome: Fresh Flavors and Forgotten Recipes from an Ancient City,” Katie Parla and Kristina Gill, Clarkson Potter (2016). Serves 4 to 6.

Bottarga, dried and salted fish roe, is available at gourmet stores and online. — F.B. Sea salt 1 pound dandelion greens 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste 3 garlic cloves, smashed 2 teaspoons peperoncino or red pepper flakes 1 pound spaghetti ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano (optional) 1 (3-inch) piece bottarga Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and salt the water.

Add dandelion greens and blanch until tender, about a minute.

Transfer to a colander to drain.

Cool for about 10 minutes before squeezing out any remaining water. Coarsely chop the greens and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add garlic and cook just until golden, about 5 minutes.

Add peperoncino and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add dandelion greens and cook until the leaves darken, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook until al dente, drain, and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the dandelion greens and Pecorino Romano (if using). Toss well, adding additional olive oil if desired. Divide pasta among individual plates and grate bottarga to taste over each serving.

Buttermilk-Fried Ramps Adapted from bonappetit.com.

I include this elegantly simple recipe because it has the funniest header note I’ve ever read: “Somewhere a Bloomin’ Onion is weeping.” — F.B. 8 ounces ramps 2 cups buttermilk 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for serving 1 teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper Vegetable oil (for frying) Lemon wedges (for serving) Special Equipment A deep-fry thermometer Trim greens from ramps; reserve for another use. Place buttermilk in a shallow dish. Combine flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in another shallow dish.

Coat ramps in flour mixture, then buttermilk, then flour mixture again.

Fit a large pot with a deepfry thermometer. Pour in oil to a depth of 2 inces, heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350 degrees. Fry ramps until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

Defying expectations and setting the standard

I wish my mother were alive to see not what I have accomplished, but what Princeton resident Jane Altman has accomplished. Altman, an attorney practicing family law for four decades, and founding partner in the Skillmanbased firm Altman, Legband and Mayides, is about to receive on April 16 the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Tischler Award for lifetime contributions to the advancement of family law.

“When I was in college at Barnard College (Columbia University) in the ‘60s, the expectation was that I would be a teacher or nurse, but mostly devote my life to being a good wife and mother,” said Altman.

Following the commonly designated life pathway of that era, she got married when she still was in college, received her master’s degree in elementary education at the Bank Street School of Education in Manhattan and had two children. And then came the self-imposed bump in the road.

“I decided to switch careers — to leave elementary education and go to law school [RutgersCamden School of Law],” Altman said. “My mother warned ‘If you go to law school, you won’t stay married.’”

Her mom’s concern reflected the angst of many moms (certainly mine) raising college-aged daughters in the 1960s.

In spite of her love of teach-

ing young children, Altman still felt restless for a greater career challenge. She decided — “just because” she could — to take the LSAT without any real intention of becoming a lawyer. She did well on the exam and decided to go to law school.

During law school, Altman quickly learned she couldn’t “do it all” — do well in classes and be the perfect homemaker and wife and mother. Her priority always was the health and well being of her family, but cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, entertaining fell to the side of the road that her mother had wanted her to follow.

“Our family was fortunate that my husband was very supportive of my decision to change careers, plus he had the flexibility with his job and willingness — to stay home with sick kids when I had to be in class,” Altman said.

Also, the women’s movement of the ’60s and ’70s, by presenting women and their goals in a new light, gave her the courage to move forward.

Altman has been married for 52 years to the same man, Robert Altman, Ph.D., well known in the Princeton community as a retired executive with ETS and a volunteer extraordinaire.

Her philosophy as a matrimonial lawyer is that there are rarely, if ever, “winners” in a matrimonial case, and that every case should be settled as fairly as pos-

sible for both parties. She encourages her clients to pursue mediation and settlement conferences as a preferred initial approach — unless, of course, there are issues that do not lend themselves to settlement attempts, such as domestic violence, an imminent danger of the dissipation of assets, the kidnapping of a child, etc.

Starting in 1978, she worked for four years in the Princeton law firm of Carchman, Annich, Sochor, and Shuster, and eventually left to start her own firm.

That firm, Altman, Legband and Mayrides, has now expanded to include four attorneys.

She has served as a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Family Law Executive Committee and of the prestigious Supreme Court Family Practice Committee. She regularly lectures for the Institute for Continuing Legal Education and writes for and is senior editor of the New Jersey Family Lawyer.

The professional awards and recognition, however, are not what make Jane run.

“I truly enjoy helping people and see them grow as individuals after they get through the upheaval in their lives,” she said. “It has been gratifying to see women and men thrive both professionally and personally after getting out of a negative and possibly abusive relationship.”

She is particularly struck by

the prevalence of domestic violence — among all socio-economic groups. Spending many volunteer hours over the years counseling women of their rights in a domestic violence compliant, she is a longtime member of the Advisory Board of Womanspace, the Mercer County Shelter for Battered Women.

Her pioneering spirit that led her to enter a male-dominated field (women made up less than 20 percent of her law school enrollment in the ’70s) has paved her granddaughter’s career road to be far smoother and far more limitless than grandma’s.

“I asked one of my [five] grandchildren — 19-year-old Rachel Edelson, a student at Princeton University — ‘Am I right to think that you and your friends find no gender restrictions on your career aspirations?’

“The response from Rachel and her friends was that they feel unconstrained by any gender considerations — that story is apparently ‘ancient history,’ ” Altman said.

Currently, Rachel says she intends to go to law school and continue a family tradition of female lawyers — her mother Jennifer also is a lawyer. And Grandma Jane intends to be there to see what she has accomplished.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Heather van Raalte, M.D.

Pelvic floor disorders: Gaining control over the urge to go Frequent visits to the bathroom, urinary leakage and other pelvic floor problems can make it difficult to enjoy everyday activities.

Some people endure the embarrassment and inconvenience of urinary incontinence for years.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

The Center for Pelvic Wellness at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC) offers a range of treatments from physical therapy to medication and minor surgical procedures to help manage and even cure pelvic floor disorders.

Pelvic floor dysfunction Millions of people across the United States experience some form of urinary incontinence — stress incontinence (leakage caused by coughing, sneezing, running and jumping) or urge incontinence (the pressing need to pass urine).

The conditions, however, are more common in women and are often related to the weakening of the muscles, tissues and ligaments that make up the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor supports and holds the pelvic organs (vagina, uterus, bladder, urethra and rectum) in place.

For women, weakening of the pelvic floor is typically caused by pregnancy, childbirth, age and obesity.

In men, prostate cancer surgery, bladder or bowel problems and heavy lifting or high-impact exercising may weaken pelvic floor muscles.

Children and adolescents may also experience common disorders such as chronic constipation, bed wetting, stress incontinence and other conditions.

Often interrelated Pelvic floor problems are often interrelated, and it is common for two or three conditions to occur at the same time and for symptoms to overlap. Signs of pelvic floor problems may

include: • Frequent urination • Urgent urination • Leakage when sneezing, coughing or laughing • Painful urination • Difficulty urinating and recurring bladder infections Women also can experience pelvic organ prolapse, which occurs when the tissues and muscles can no longer support the pelvic organs and they drop down. Symptoms of prolapse may include: • Feeling of pelvic pressure or fullness • Organs bulging out of the vagina • Leakage of urine •Difficulty completely emptying the bladder • Problems with having a bowel movement • Lower back pain Time to see the doctor Too often, individuals avoid talking to their doctor about urinary incontinence and pelvic floor problems because they are embarrassed to bring up the subject or they think their problem is not so bad.

However, doctors treat patients with urinary incontinence every day and are accustomed to dealing with the condition. Moreover, urinary incontinence — even a small amount of leaking — is not just a normal part of aging. If urinary incontinence is interfering with your daily activities, it is time to see a doctor.

Seeking medical attention for urinary problems is important. A proper diagnosis can identify any underlying medical condition causing the problem and is the first step toward a resolution.

The Center for Pelvic Wellness offers a multidisciplinary team approach to treating urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders, including bladder, vaginal and uterine prolapse.

Tailored treatment approaches include: • Physical therapy to

step for patients trying to determine where to start in addressing their specific needs.

Dr. Heather van Raalte strengthen weakened muscles, with therapists who are specialty certified in treating pelvic floor disorders • Behavioral modifications or lifestyle changes, such as fluid management and diet changes • Medication therapies • Minor same-day procedures to tighten or support the urethra • Minimally invasive robotic surgeries • Advanced treatment options such as bladderregulating surgical procedures (neuromodulation) and Botox injections into the wall of the bladder The center’s new Pediatric Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Program also offers specialized rehabilitation and treatment for pediatric patients ages 7 and older.

In this program, the pelvic floor physical therapist will perform an evaluation that will include testing the strength and muscle coordination of the diaphragm, pelvic floor, abdominal wall, lower back, and hips.

The therapist may then recommend a treatment plan specifically designed to address the young patient’s needs.

Additionally, a nurse navigator is available within the center to answer questions, assess symptoms and coordinate care with primary care physicians and related specialists. Talking with a nurse navigator is a good first

Staying in control Exercises like Kegels and Pilates target the pelvic floor muscles and can help strengthen the pelvic muscles to manage and prevent incontinence.

However, those muscles can be hard to isolate. Although people often think their exercise regimen addresses the pelvic floor muscles, they can be difficult to access without guidance, which is one reason why working with a specially trained physical therapist is beneficial.

In addition to pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes can also help make a difference including: Losing weight. In overweight women, losing even a small amount of weight (less than 10 percent of total body weight) may decrease urine leakage, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

Managing fluid intake.

As suggested by ACOG, if you have leakage in the early morning or at night, you might want to limit your intake of fluids several hours before bedtime.

Limiting alcohol and caffeine may also be helpful.

Training your bladder.

Bladder training can help control the urge to empty the bladder and increase the time span between urinating to normal levels (every three to four hours during the day and every four to eight hours at night).

Avoiding heavy lifting.

Lifting heavy weights can put a strain on your pelvic muscles, and ultimately cause them to weaken.

Eat a healthy diet high in fiber. Fiber can help minimize constipation and straining with bowel movements.

Q Q

. How long have you been in Real Estate?

A. I have been in Real Estate for 5 years.

. What are 3 benefits of your business to a buyer or seller that sets apart from the competition?

A. I truly care about my clients and I begin with the knowledge that whether I’m working with a Buyer or a Seller, we’re going to spend a lot of time together and I want them to know what to expect from the start which is covered in my Buyer and Listing Consultations. I try to make this more of a ‘conversation’ rather than a speech’ so there is ample opportunity for them to ask questions and for me to get to know them and their particular needs and expectations.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with highly experienced professionals from Attorneys, Lenders and Brokers since I started my business. They have become my trusted colleagues, teachers and support structure — unofficinal members of my ‘Team’ so to speak. Together with their combined experience and advice, my clients can have absolute confidence; whatever issues come up unexpected or not, they know we’ve got their back.

3) I lived and worked in NYC for many years as a Magazine Art Director focused on Interior Design and Home Improvement Magazines where I learned a lot about remodeling and design trends. When I moved to New Jersey, I became an Accredited Home Stager and did Staging and Interior Design for a variety of clients including Agents who asked me to stage their listings.

Through various home renovations I’ve done on my own homes, I accrued a list of contractors I knew I could depend upon and seeing their work firsthand in my own home, I felt confident recommending them to my clients. Whether they were moving or staying, I could make their homes look great! I decided to get my Real Estate License and I quickly came to know what it took to get a house sold. On Listing Consultations, I explain to Sellers how to see their home through the eyes of a Buyer and depending upon their needs and budget, I recommend small remodeling projects and/or repairs, paint colors, furniture placement and accessorizing ideas. I’m more than willing to jump right in with them and delighted to run the project. As my Real Estate business has grown, I now offer my Staging and Design Services solely for my listing clients as a complimentary bonus in my marketing plan.

Q

. If you could give 1 tip to someone looking to buy or sell a home, what would it be?

A. It’s not something you can do in bits and pieces and to compete in today’s Real Estate Market, we need to be fully committed to the process so again, I want my Buyers and Sellers to be prepared and communication is a key component.

No two sales or purchases are alike, so I need to stay on top of my game too by keeping up with my continuing education.

I’m proud of my designations as SRS, ABR, ASP and Military Relocation Specialist. Along with my ‘team of experts’, I’m always anticipating the next step and strive to make the process

1378 Route 206 Skillman, NJ 08558

Each Office is Independently Owned and Operated.

as smooth and stress-free as possible for my Clients.

Q

. How do you see the Real Estate industry in the next 3 months?

A. Now that warmer days are upon us in Real Estate Land,‘Spring Market’ begins in January as does the calendar year.

I’m keeping an eye on inventory, prices and anticipating many changes with continued low inventory and rising interest rates.

Real Estate is fluid and we have to make constant adjustments in our expectations, sometimes daily. The needs of my Buyers vary and everyone has a wish list. It depends upon the Buyers; those that are up for renovations and those that are not. Some are looking for a home that is move-in ready which can mean many things; serviceable condition, renovated or brand new.

But, this is not an area where there is a lot of new construction or new developments. Much of the new construction is isolated to individual lots or homes that were torn down in place of new ones. Other investors are purchasing older homes to renovate and put back on the market. With inventory remaining low, combined with the scarcity of ‘move-in ready’ homes, I’m helping my Buyer and Seller Clients to be open to the new renovation loan products that my Team Lender provides. We are in essence, creating the new available inventory.

Q

. What do you do on your free time when you are not doing Real Estate?

A. My passion for design and remodeling does not wane when I’m not at work. I’m always looking for my next remodeling gig at home. During Spring and Summer, I take it outside to the patio and garden; the more I can be outside, the better. I love flea markets and architectural salvage yards to pick up unusual items for both inside and out. My kitchen now is my space to experiment with new ideas...if you love to eat then you love to cook and the changes are about to happen in there as well...it usually starts with my kids coming downstairs to find that a wall is missing. I spend much of my free time with my 13 yr old daughter as my older kids are off and on their own.

Keeping up with her is keeping me in shape and with warmer days ahead, I’m getting back to running.

Q

. What has been your biggest accomplishment since being in the

Real Estate industry?

A. Getting more comfortable with technology! I’m far from being a Millennial but the Market has changed in recent years and much more of our business is online driven, and so are our Clients and as Agents, we have to keep up, and local Market conditions change every day. Real Estate is Sales and it’s not Sales; it still is however, a people business. I’ve learned to listen more, to know and practice what works, while at the same time, being open to doing things differently. There is a place for formulas and another for being open to new ways, so I’d have to say that time management is the other half of the accomplishment. I have the heart of a teacher and having been influenced by so many of my colleagues in the Business, I’ve learned that among my many roles as an Agent, I’m also a guide. People come to me with a dream for their next steps in life and it’s my job to get them there.

As Agents, we are running our own businesses. There is tremendous pressure and motivation to succeed as we only get paid when we make a sale. Learning to change and not get stuck in our ways is an ongoing process for all of us. It’s kind of like show business; in our industry, we’re only as good as our last performance (or Sale) so reinventing ourselves remains a top priority.
