Committee honors the career of Judge John Richardson

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A staple of law and order over the last decade in Hillsborough Township was recently honored by the township committee for his service and career as a municipal judge.

Judge John Richardson, a long-time justice whose career spans not only Hillsborough Township’s dais, but also Watchung, North Plainfield, Green Brook, South Bound Brook and the Somerset County Superior Court, announced his retirement.

During a public township committee meeting earlier this month, officials commended Richardson for his years of service by presenting him with an

official proclamation from Mayor Gloria McCauley.

“Judge Richardson brought great experience as a Superior Court judge to Hillsborough,” the mayor said. “We want to express our gratitude for all of the hard work and dedication of Judge Richardson in the Hillsborough Township Municipal Court. We wish him all the best in his retirement and future endeavors.”

According to officials, Richardson attended Dartmouth College and Rutgers University School of Law before pursuing his law career.

Richardson had previously served as a Superior Court judge from 1999 to 2002, when he was forced to step down from the po-

sition as part of a plea bargain for failing to report $150,000 to the IRS he held for a real estate client before he was appointed.

The judge accepted a reprimand for the incident from the state Supreme Court’s Disciplinary Review Board, who allowed him to continue practicing law since he had an “unblemished legal career of more than 30 years,” according to the board’s decision.

By 2007, Richardson had been selected to serve as a part-time municipal judge for Hillsborough Township after then municipal judge Anthony Picheca, Jr. was picked to serve on the county Superior Court in Somerville.

Biker veteran advocacy group is more than just the look

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

Sporting black sleeveless leather vests, blue jeans and Tshirts with any combination of patriotic slogans, bald eagles, flames or “Old Glory” itself, the members of Rolling Thunder look the part of a typical motorcycle club.

As it rumbles down the street, the group, comprised mostly of military veterans, isn’t just your average biker gang hellbent for leather and full of wanton bravado. These men and women are working to better their communities and provide support for the individuals who served in America’s armed forces.

Last month, the national chapter of Rolling Thunder based out of Manville donated 2,100 pounds of food to the Somerset County Food Bank in Bound Brook.

Donations were collected with assistance from the American Legion Post 5 in Rahway, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2290 in Manville, Lake Island Rifle and Pistol in Carteret, as well as a monetary donation from the Wegmans supermarket in Bridgewater.

“There are things going on all the time,” Andrew Kerr, who served in the Navy from 19711975 and is currently an alternate member of the Rolling Thunder National, Inc. Board of Directors, said. “We want to help as many people as we can.”

The Manville chapter’s food drive takes place twice a year and comes at a particularly difficult time for the county food bank, since people are less likely to donate outside of the holiday season.

Rolling Thunder, Inc., is a non-profit organization that works to both educate the public about the plight of the American

prisoners of war that were left behind in past wars and to ensure that future veterans do not become “Prisoners of War-Missing in Action.” There are many chapters throughout the country.

The organization can trace its beginnings back to the late ’80s, when Vietnam veterans Artie Muller and Ray Manzo organized a gathering of like-minded veterans from across the country to converge on Washington D.C. during the 1988 Memorial Day weekend. Once at the capital, the organization estimates there were approximately 2,500 motorcycles in the city, with their riders demanding “from our leaders a full accounting of all POW/MIA’s.”

The yearly “Ride for Freedom” gathering has continued since then, with Kerr estimating that recent gatherings in Washington have brought upward of 900,000 of supporters to the capital.

And even though a large portion of that group ride is on motorcycles, Kerr said membership doesn’t require that specific mode of transportation, nor does it require that a prospective member previously serve in the military.

“A lot of our demonstrations are on motorcycles, but we’re not a motorcycle club. I’d say about half of our people don’t ride,” Kerr said. “It’s mostly bikes, but we do have vehicles. Some of our folks can’t ride or don’t ride some of the older fellas can’t ride anymore.”

Teens become latest group of Eagle Scouts Three Hillsborough High School seniors, excited for what lies ahead of them, were recently recognized by the township committee for their volunteerism and the Eagle Scouts projects that helped them attain the highest rank in Boy Scouts.

Standing before their friends, family and fellow Troop 489 scouts, Vishal Chalam, Daniel Duffek and Damien Filoramo were publicly honored by the governing body earlier this month.

Each received special proclamations from Mayor Gloria McCauley for their Eagle Scout projects, which addressed varying needs throughout the township.

Deputy Mayor Doug Tomson said the three young men were “an example to the youth of Hillsborough Township through [their] high level leadership and community service” during the April 10 township committee meeting.

Chalam was recognized for completing his project, which consisted of repairing the driveway in front of the rectory at St. Joseph’s Church.

According to officials, the teen and a number of additional helpers extended the driveway by digging trenches, placing lumber within the trenches and using rebar, creating a raised and level walking surface. Once complete,

the work assisted the elderly and allowed for easier entry and exit from the rectory.

As a member of Troop 489, Chalam was patrol leader, acting senior patrol leader and troop scribe. He participated in the Hillsborough High School Debate Club, Varsity Soccer Team, was a member of the National Honor Society and vice president of the Loudspeakers Club.

“I’d like to thank my parents and the rest of Troop 489. Hillsborough is a great grow up in and live in and I’m excited to go on to college,” Vishal said.

Duffek’s Eagle Scout project was the construction of a wheel-

chair-accessible picnic table, as well as the rehabilitation of an outdoor pavilion area at the Sunset Hill Club in Griggstown. Officials said the work included repairing and refinishing three other picnic tables and general cleanup.

The teen was patrol leader and historian for Troop 489. He also participated on the Hillsborough High School Varsity Volleyball team and will be attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University this fall to study aerospace engineering.

Bikers Continued from Page 1A has more than 400 members, with some going as far back as World War II and the Korean War. The philanthropic arm of Rolling Thunder, Inc., known as Rolling Thunder Charities, is a 501c3 nonprofit that serves as a way for the organization to fill in the gaps of support for veterans.

From visiting the Lyons Campus of the VA New Jersey Health Care System to helping veterans dealing with financial trouble, Kerr said Rolling Thunder works to ensure that the country’s veterans are not forgotten.

“A lot of fellas fall on hard times. Maybe they can’t pay a mortgage or the electric bill or whatever, and we’ll help them out too,” Kerr said. “All we re-

quire is the form that says they were enlisted in the service, as well as a copy of the bill they need help with.”

Kerr said the organization’s efforts largely came about as a reaction to how his fellow servicemen were treated following the end of the Vietnam War. “When most of us came home, we weren’t the most popular people,” Kerr said.

“That’s changed, but being that we had such a bad time when we came home, we don’t want that to happen again. Putting the veterans in a different light helps the guys returning and rotating back into civilian life…we try to help them all.”

With thousands of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Kerr said Rolling Thunder has already seen an influx of new

Filoramo’s Eagle Scout project was to restore the inner courtyard and construct a sensory garden at Woods Road School. Officials said the newly minted Eagle Scout led a group of scouts in weeding, mulching and building a two-level raised bed. The garden was planted with rosemary, lambs ear, creeping oregano and sedum, all of which engage the senses of touch,

members, as well as veterans in need.

Despite what they may have endured in the Middle East, Kerr said he’s already seen the character of this latest batch of veterans. “[Iraq and Afghanistan veterans’] spirit is really good. They just want to help and do what they can,” Kerr said. “They don’t really talk too much about themselves…and they want to help the other people as well as they can.”

Anyone looking to contribute to Rolling Thunder can send a check made out to Rolling Thunder Charities, Inc. to P.O. Box 327, Neshanic Station, NJ, 08853. All collected proceeds go to helping assist veterans. Food donations can be made at the Manville VFW on the third Sunday in March or August.

As a member of Troop 489, Filoramo served as a troop guide. He also participated on the Hillsborough High School Lacrosse and Cross Country teams and was a member of the Sources of Strength Club. “[This proclamation] really means a lot. It’s kind of crazy to be standing here because it was a lot of work,” Filoramo said.

“Thanks, mom and dad.”

“It’s very heartening to receive recognition like this because this is not something I expected,” he said.

As he looked out into the crowd and to his wife June, to whom he has been married for more than 50 years, Richardson referenced “Why Me,” a song by country gospel

musician Kris Kristofferson during his remarks. In that song, the performer asks why he had been “blessed by God so many times.”

“I think about my time in Hillsborough over the last 10 years…and as I look at my family and the ladies who worked with me and supported me at the Hillsborough Municipal Court…I say to myself ‘that song was written for me,’” he said.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

www.hillsboroughbeacon.com

Friday, April 27, 2018F

By Michele S. Byers

Cowtown and rare grassland birds, perfect together Grant Harris took a bold step last week when he preserved nearly 375 acres of grasslands surrounding his famous Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove Township, the oldest weekly professional rodeo in the United States and the only one in New Jersey.

Preserving the land where his horses and cattle graze allows him to continue a five-generation family rodeo legacy while helping keep agriculture alive in Salem County. What many folks may not realize is that preserving these rolling green pastures also protects critical habitat for rare grassland birds.

Bobolinks, grasshopper sparrows and savanna sparrows – all classified by the state as threatened species - breed among the clumps of pasture grasses.

“They’re ground-nesting birds, so what they’re looking for is cover,” explains Bill Pitts of the state’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program, which monitors the property.

Brown thrashers and Eastern meadowlarks – species of special concern – also breed there, and the endangered upland sandpiper may breed there on occasion.

The Cowtown pasturelands - which total about 1,700 acres - also support a breeding population of American kestrels, a threatened falcon that favors grassland habitats with a few scattered trees with nesting cavities. Eight kestrel nesting boxes have been placed on Cowtown’s grazing lands to supplement natural nesting sites.

Bald eagles forage year round on Cowtown’s grasslands, and other rare birds like Northern harriers and short-eared owls hunt prey there seasonally. All are classified as threatened or endangered in New Jersey. Snow geese frequent the pastures in winter.

New Jersey Conservation Foundation purchased the development rights on the 374 newlypreserved acres, mostly using U.S. Department of Agriculture funds that help ranchers preserve their grazing lands. It’s the first time these grassland preservation funds have been used in New Jersey.

The land will remain in Harris family ownership, but it’s permanently limited to no-till agriculture like grazing and breeding livestock. This will maintain grassland habitat quality indefinitely.

At an event at Cowtown to announce the land preservation project, Grant Harris humorously referred to his three rules for managing grasslands: “Don’t overgraze. Don’t overgraze. And don’t overgraze.”

But these rules are no joke. This management philosophy has resulted in excellent habitat.

At any given time, Cowtown has about 100 horses and 300 to 500 head of cattle - which may seem like a lot of animals, but comes out to much less than one per acre!

Pitts noted that because Cowtown rotates its pastures, the grasslands maintain a desirable mix of thick

and sparse cover. The presence of livestock actually improves the quality of the grasslands because regular grazing prevents woody plants and invasive shrubs from taking root, thus keeping the land from turning into a weedy thicket.

Proceeds from the sale of development rights are being used by Grant to purchase additional land he’s been leasing, and to make it affordable for his daughter, son-in-law and grandson Katy, RJ and Nate Griscom - to eventually take over the rodeo and surrounding land.

Katy, RJ and Nate represent the fifth and sixth generations of Harris family members to live and work at Cowtown.

The rodeo was founded in 1929 by Grant Harris’ great-grandfather and grandfather.

Preserving Cowtown does more than help the Harris family and protect grassland birds. It also supports the larger agricultural community, from the farmhands employed at Cowtown to the businesses that sell tractors and supplies to the rodeo and ranch. As Grant notes, “We’re preserving the farmers by preserving the land.”

It benefits agritourism, too. The Harris property is next to the state’s Featherbed Lane Wildlife Management Area – which is leased for livestock grazing - and the roads surrounding Cowtown and Featherbed Lane are a popular destination for birders.

State Senate President Steve Sweeney, a longtime fan of farmland preserva-

tion, praised the Harris family for preserving their property.

“Once it goes away, you can’t recreate it,” said Sweeney. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. We’re the Garden State, remember that, and this is a rich piece of it.”

The concert, presented by the Blue Curtain concert series and the university’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese, will showcase the Grammy-winning Palmieri, who played piano for several artists, including Eddie Forrester, Johnny Segui, and the Tito Rodriguez Orchestra. He started his own band, La Perfect, in 1961.

“First of all, I look forward with great anticipation to present my Afro Caribbean Jazz Sextet,” Palmieri says. “The presentation will consist of instrumental music, which will be very danceable.”

Music has been part of his life from the beginning.

“Music has always surrounded my entire family,” he says. “My uncles played guitars, percussion instruments, and every day existence was about music and education. My elder brother, the great pianist Charlie Palmieri, was my mentor.”

He continues to record music, and is particularly proud of “Sabiduría / Wisdom,” his 2017 release, which fuses jazz, funk and Latin with Afro-World rhythms.

“I consider it my finest work in the genre,” he says. “I highly recommend it to all musical students and everyone who truly loves

COVER STORY - STAGE REVIEW

by Anthony Stoeckert

‘A Little Night Music’ at ActorsNET of Bucks County Has Charm, Heart and Wonderful Singing

A

ctorsNET of Bucks County’s production of ‘A Little Night Music” is the third I’ve seen, and it has some things the previous two lacked — humor and heart. I’ve always walked away from the show in awe of the music and the singing, never before was I so invested in the characters. And this version also has some terrific singing, so it has it all.

The show features miraculous music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Its book is by Hugh Wheeler, based on the 1955 film “Smiles of a Summer Night” by the legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. The plot isn’t complicated so much as it’s layered. “A Little Night Music” is set in Sweden at the start of the last century, and opens with cast members warming up their voices, leading into the overture and a waltzing cast. Characters switch partners, trying to find the perfect match — including taking turns dancing alone. It’s clear early on we’re in for something special as the small orchestra, led by Lee Milhous, plays Sondheim’s waltz score perfectly.

The first characters we meet are Madame Armfeldt (Susan Blair), and her granddaughter, Frederikia (Keli Ganey). The old woman tells the girl how the summer night smiles three times — on the young, on fools and on the old. Frederikia is determined to see those smiles and vows to pay close attention to the night.

We then meet the players who drive the plot. First there’s Fredrik Egerman (George Hartpence) a middleaged lawyer married to Anne (Alize Rozsnyai), who is 18, and still a virgin after 11 months of marriage. Meanwhile, Fredrik’s son, Henrik (Matt South), is a seminary student who’s sullen, and the brunt of many jokes. Anne has feelings for Henrik, who’s fooling around with the servant Petra (Noelle Joy Fiorentino).

Fredrik comes home with tickets to the theater — the star Desiree Armfeldt (Carol Thompson) is performing.

Fredrik and Anne retreat to their room, which sets up the wonder trio of numbers — “Now,” “Later” and “Soon.”

Fredrik sings “Now” in which he debates his options: making love to his wife or taking a nap. The song features wonderfully clever lyrics in which an older guy debates whether if the promise of passion is worth undressing: “That might be effective/My body’s all right/But not in perspective/And not in the light/I’m bound to be chilly/ And feel a buffoon/But nightshirts are silly/In mid-afternoon.”

Hartpence’s voice has charm. He also acts wonderfully when singing, delivering lines with humor and also getting laughs with his facial expressions. South shares his fine voice during “Later,” during which Henrik sings his

From left: Carol Thompson, John Helmke, Keli Ganey and Susan Blair in ‘A Little Night Music.’ frustration with always being dismissed. Then Rozsnyai brings her terrific singing to “Soon.”

Next, we meet Desiree as she and the people who work with her sing the rousing “The Glamorous Life.” Desiree is Frederika’s mother (and Madame Armfeldt’s daughter), and the song is a letter from Desiree to her daughter. During this song, we learn life on the road isn’t exciting at all (“half-empty” houses, la, la, la/Hi-ho the glamorous life”) and that Madame Armfeldt won’t allow Frederika to travel from theater to theater with Desiree.

Fredrik and Desiree have a past and make eye contact during Desiree’s performance. Anne notices, gets jealous, and demands she and her husband leave. Fredrik returns to the theater, and he and Desiree talk over old times before heading to the bedroom. Thompson and Hartpence are married in real life and they are delightful together, delivering their characters’ playful barbs during “You Must Meet My Wife.”

Desiree has another lover, Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm (Nicholas Pecht), a comically formal and intimidating sort. He is livid when he finds Fredrik in Desiree’s hotel room, wearing his robe. Desiree comes up with a story about Fredrik falling into her bathtub. But the Count is doubtful, and angry — sleeping with a man’s wife is one thing, but sleeping with his mistress is out of bounds with this guy. Pecht is a riot when singing “In Praise of Women,” as Malcolm tries to figure out what’s going on.

Meanwhile his wife, Countess Charlotte (Holly Gash), would like her husband to stop straying.

The first act sets up all of this and ends with everyone headed to Madame Armfeldt’s home with the stunning “A Weekend in the Country,” sung by the entire company with power, enthusiasm and humor. It’s a dandy, and sets up Act 2 perfectly. In addition to everything else this show

is known for, “A Little Night Music” is a lesson in perfect structure.

The entire cast shines. Thompson is perfect as Desiree — smart, sassy but also vulnerable at times, illustrating her character’s longing for a life away from the road with her daughter and the man she loves. She’s also smart and clever enough to plan a way to make that happen. Thompson gets to sing the show’s most famous song, “Send in the Clowns.” It’s one of those songs that is heard so often, you can forget how good it is. You’ll remember after hearing Thompson sing it.

Some of the best singers are performers who are making their debut with ActorsNET. In playing Anne, Rozsnyai sings with power and also brings intelligence to the young woman married to an older man. Fiorentino brings a stellar voice and a lot of charm and humor to Petra. Her bio states this marks her return to acting after a break of several years, and the timing is fortuitous. Alyssa Brode (who plays Mrs. Nordstrom), Rachel Sigman (Mrs. Anderssen) and Carolyn Cuesta (Mrs. Segstrom) are in the chorus, and hearing them sing is a pleasure.

The cast also gets a lot of laughs. Anne talks about knowing Fredrik since she was a child. He was a friend of her father’s and she used to call him Uncle Fredrik. “And now you’re my husband, isn’t that amusing?” Anne asks.

Rozsnyai delivers the line perfectly and Hartpence’s reaction is priceless. Pecht is a blast as the Count, as is Gash as the Countess.

And of course, there are Blair and Ganey who frame the story and pull off the ending in a way that brings a tear to the eye and a warm feeling to the heart.

Director David Deratzian has done a wonderful job, assembling a top-notch cast, coming up with some clever staging and finding the perfect pace for this evening.

The sets are lovely, poles painted as birch trees, with more trees painted on backdrops to add depth. Set pieces such as a stone bench, a daybed, desk, etc. are used at various times, and the set changes are done swiftly, keeping the show moving. Lastly, the costumes by Kimberly Hess, Cheryl Doyle and Ruth Schanbacher are stunning.

It runs nearly three hours, but goes by swiftly. This production of “A Little Night Music” is charming, elegant and offers beautiful night music indeed.

“A Little Night Music” continues at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 N. Delmorr Ave., Morrisville, Pennsylvania, through May 6. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m.

Tickets cost $20, $17 seniors 62 and older, $10 children 12 and younger; www.actorsnetbucks.org; 215-295-3694.

Loren Allred entertained the crowd during Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s annual gala, April 21.

PSO Holds Annual Gala Loren Allred, the singing voice behind Rebecca Ferguson’s portrayal of the legendary Jenny Lind in the film “The Greatest Showman,” brought her vocal talents, and a taste of Hollywood, to Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s “Puttin’ on the Glitz” Red Carpet Gala, April 21 at Jasna Polana country club in Princeton.

Nearly 200 attendees contributed to funds raised for the orchestra and its PSO BRAVO! education programs, particularly to continue the PSO’s commitment to bringing the orchestra into the Trenton Public Schools.

The venue was decked-out for the occasion with scarlet carpets, red velvet and brass stanchions, and a starlit dining room adorned with ostrich-plumed centerpieces created by gala chair Stephanie Wedeking.

Allred brought everyone to their feet with her performance of “Never Enough,” now on the platinum-selling soundtrack of “The Greatest Showman,” setting the perfect tone for a thrilling live auction.

The high-end auction offerings included tickets and VIP treatment to “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,

Parts I & II” on Broadway; vacation stays in a charming Penobscot Bay waterfront cottage and elegant 18th century farmhouse in Dorset, England; and a collection of California vintage wines from a family-owned vineyard. Wedeking attributes the auction’s success to guests’ hunger for something different. “People have enough things, what they’re looking for are unique, one-of-a-kind experiences they can’t find anywhere else,” she said.

Following the success of last year’s PSO BRAVO! Challenge which made possible a performance by the orchestra for Trenton school children scheduled for May, attendees were encouraged to pledge funds to continue to provide such concerts in the future to Trenton children and programs to students at schools throughout the area.

“The Gala is our big fundraiser for the year,” Wedeking said. “It’s vital for the organization. The money raised supports the entire organization not just for outreach, but to support high-quality performances by the PSO. This is my second year as gala chair, and it’s such a pleasure to work with the orchestra, Executive Director Marc Uys, and the entire PSO staff. They’re always striving for excellence.”

Stories Told in Fabric

‘Interwoven Stories’ got its start in Princeton, has traveled the world, and is returning home

n the fall of 2016, Diana Weymar introduced her “Interwoven Stories” project to the area during a residency with the Arts Council of Princeton. The project involved Weymar creating fabric “pages”, stitching red and blue lines on white cloths so that they resembled loose leaf pages.

Those pages were the canvas for a community-wide project, with participants creating images of threads, stitching words into the pages or a combination of both. Weymar offered suggestions, such as creating an image of a favorite place in Princeton, or participants could create whatever they wanted. The pages and supplies needed to create a page were provided by the arts council.

It was a concept Weymar had worked on on a smaller scale, and the Princeton project was the first time she did it on a community-wide basis. Weymar and Maria Evans, the arts council’s artistic director, were so impressed by the re-

sults they displayed the pages in an exhibit at the arts council’s Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.

As it turns out, that was just the start of the project, which is returning to the Paul Robeson Center with “Interwoven Stories: International,” May 12 through June 23. This version will feature hundreds of pages created by people in Princeton, and also from around the world.

“The project has traveled,” Weymar says. “We decided to do this show because, first of all, people in Princeton are still making pages, so the project in Princeton has continued to grow. And then it’s gone to these different places.”

Those places include Nantucket; Damascus; Victoria, British Columbia; and the University of Pugent Sound.

“It’s been pretty interesting to incubate the project in Princeton then to travel with it because it gets tested every single time you go to a new place with it,” Weymar says.

“So it seems like a good time to bring it back to Princeton

for the community to see.”

Weymar tracked down many of the locations that took on the project herself. “I had always wanted to do the project on the island of Nantucket, with the summer and yearround community, and because of the history of craft on the island, it was a very natural fit,” she says.

She brought “Interwoven Stories” to Zen Hospice in San Francisco. That came about through B.J. Miller who, when he was a student at Princeton University in 1990, climbed a Dinky train, was electrocuted and lost his legs and an arm as a result. He went on to become a doctor and was the executive director at Zen Hospice for five years.

In working on “Interwoven Stories,” Weymar has traveled around the country and the world. She made pages for each destination, and her involvement with each chapter of “Interwoven Stories” ranged from introducing the project to

spending time there and helping to organize and facilitate the pages.

One place she didn’t go to was Demascus in Syria. That city’s involvement began in December, when Weymar was in Bogota, Colombia, where she meet a woman from Demascus.

The Demascus pages are the only ones Weymar didn’t make. “They’re different because the fabric is local, so it’s lighter, it’s more sheer,” she says. “Also, they made the pages with the pink line on the right because they’re reading right to left.”

Each location’s pages reflect their respective communities. One of Weymar’s favorites was made by a woman named Barbara at Zen Hospice. It’s a stitched selfie of the woman. Embroidered into the page are the words, “I never thought I would see the world through cancer-colored glasses.”

Barbara didn’t intend to create a page, but interviewed Weymar for a story about the project in a newsletter.

“She told herself before she interviewed B me that she was not going to take a kit, she didn’t have the time, she was not going to do it,” Weymar says. “And then she had this idea and she came back to me about a month-and-a-half later with this page. It’s amazing, it’s an amazing page. To get to that point with an illness, I think is pretty incredible. To want to make something like that, with that sense of humor about it and

Pam Hersh

One thousand years of history

I went into Labyrinth Books on Princeton’s Nassau Street April 17 to snatch a snippet of history by purchasing the James Comey book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.”

Instead, I became immersed in thousands of years of history by listening to a discussion of the Martin Goodman book “A History of Judaism.”

Mr. Comey’s book of 277 pages took one night to read. I needed no one to explain the lessons of he book, because in the past two weeks, dozens of experts — including Mr. Comey — have inundated the media with interviews, interpreting the significance of the tome. Dr. Goodman’s book of 656 pages may be a summer-long project. I knew after reading 30 pages that I needed the wisdom of Princeton History Professor Anthony Grafton to lift the lessons out of this panoramic history of the Jewish religion.

The common lesson emerging from both books is that learning from history is crucial to the survival of our civilization.

Furthermore, we perhaps should take a few lessons from the survival of Judaism in order to navigate our currently chaotic time in the history of the United States.

Labyrinth owner Dorothea von Moltke asked Professor Grafton, a worldrenowned authority in the area of early modern Europe, to moderate the discussion with Oxford University Professor Goodman. He willingly accepted the invitation, because all of his scholarship has been punctuated by a commitment to the value of scholarly work that engages the broader public. The event was part of Labyrinth’s literary salon program, an intellectual and cultural treasure for the Princeton community.

Author Martin Goodman (left) and Princeton History Professor Anthony Grafton at a discussion of Goodman’s book, “A History of Judaism” at Labyrinth Books.

Before the Labyrinth event, I had met Grafton several times, but mostly in the context of him being the husband of Louise Grafton, also renowned, but as an artistic theater set designer. Their home environment is a funky mix of Louise’s fantastical stage props and sculptures with Tony’s library of early printed folios in Latin and Greek, shelves bulging with books, papers, and binders of notes.

I never heard Grafton lecture, but was well aware that his special interests lie in the cultural history of Renaissance Eu-

rope, the history of books and readers, the history of scholarship and education in the West from Antiquity to the 19th century, and the history of science from Antiquity to the Renaissance. He told me his current project is researching the way in which early scholars thought about early Christianity.

Even though it’s foolhardy to attempt a thumbnail sketch of a book on such a complicated and comprehensive subject like the history of Judaism — a topic outdone perhaps only by a history of world civilization — I nevertheless created my short and stunningly superficial description as pulled from the Labyrinth discussion and several reviews of the book.

“The History of Judaism,” as opposed to the history of the Jewish people, explains how Judaism came to be and how it has developed from one age to the next, as well as the ways in which its varieties have related to each other. “A History of Judaism” ranges from Judaism’s inception in the second and first millennia, through the Jerusalem Temple cult in the centuries preceding its destruction, to the rabbis, mystics and messiahs of medieval and early modern times, and, concluding with the many expressions of the modern and contemporary Jewish worlds.

“The book is very well written, very readable and accessible,” said Professor Grafton. He [Professor Goodman] conveys a simple and clear lesson — Judaism never has been just one unified approach to belief.

“There always have been multiple strains of Judaism. People calling themselves Jewish always have worshiped in different ways, understood and interpreted the Bible differently, had very different

life styles. . . . Many Jews feel the temptation to declare that there is only one kind of Judaism — “my” kind — all others are wrong. Historically, there are many types of Judaism. It is a religion that is continually evolving. . . . It never has been just one thing.”

Grafton added that Goodman shows how those strains have often “adopted incompatible practices and ideas — about the authority of ancestral traditions, the meaning of scripture, the nature of God, the afterlife and the End of Days — but that disagreement has almost always been tolerated without schism.

“Professor Goodman is particularly interested in moments when Jews are tolerant of other Jews who disagree. He likes to see the possibility of Jews willing to talk to and worship with other Jews. I particularly enjoy the descriptions of the Jewish mystics talking and debating very late into the night about God and rituals.”

The bottom line about Judaism is that people argued and debated continually with one another and got on each other’s nerves over the course of thousands of years. Instead of the religion blowing up, it evolved and people continued to live and work together — and more forward.

The words of wisdom from Grafton about the lessons of the book were particularly comforting to me in the context of the schism now reflected in the Comey/ Trump interpretation of the principles of the Constitution, rule of law, and American democratic form of government.

Perhaps Americans for the sake of the country will be able rant and rave at one another — but nevertheless be tolerant of opposing views and move forward peacefully.

Normal signs of aging or something more?

Do you suffer from fatigue or forgetfulness?

Have you gained weight recently?

For a lot of people, feeling tired or mentally foggy, or putting on some extra pounds, can be the result of lifestyle changes, such as not getting enough sleep, extra stress, or not enough exercise as they grow older.

However, for many others, especially women,

these could be signs of an underactive thyroid, called hypothyroidism, a medical condition that, once diagnosed, can be easily managed with the help of a physician.

Small gland, big job Your thyroid is a twoinch long, butterfly-shaped endocrine gland located in the middle of your lower neck. The gland produces hormones (T3 and T4) that

regulate your body’s metabolic rate — the rate at which your body produces energy from nutrients and oxygen — and influences every cell, tissue and organ in your body.

Thyroid hormones help your body use energy, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles and other organs functioning properly. Thyroid hormone production is regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is made by the pituitary gland in the brain. When thyroid hormone levels in the blood are low, the pituitary gland releases more TSH, as it tries to “yell” at the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormones. When thyroid hormone levels are too high, the pituitary decreases TSH production, like a whisper.

One in every eight women According to the American Thyroid Association, an estimated 20 million Americans suffer from some form of thyroid disease. The association also reports women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems and one in every eight women will develop a thyroid disorder in her lifetime.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common thyroid disorders. It occurs when thyroid hormone levels are too low and thus cause the body’s processes to slow down.

Causes of hypothyroid-

Dr. Gabriel Smolarz ism include: • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakes the thyroid gland cells for invaders and attacks them.

This is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States.

• Surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland, typically to treat thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer.

• Radiation treatment for cancers of the head and neck.

• Being born with an incomplete thyroid.

• Iodine deficiency (less common).

• Damage to the pituitary gland (less common).

Range of symptoms Hypothyroidism can cause a range of symptoms that vary from person to person and are often associated with other diseases.

Symptoms include: • Fatigue or low energy • Changes in hair, skin and nails • Constipation • Irregular menstrual cycles • Cold intolerance

• Weight gain • Decreased sweating • Depression or other mood disorder Typically, hypothyroidism develops slowly so many people fail to notice the symptoms of the disease. The American Thyroid Association reports that as many as 60 percent of Americans with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.

A simple blood test and medication If you experience symptoms of hypothyroidism, your doctor will likely order one or more blood tests to confirm the diagnosis and identify its cause.

The initial TSH test is the most accurate measure of thyroid activity available, according to the National Institutes of Health.

This test can detect even tiny amounts of TSH in the blood.

An elevated amount of TSH — a reading of 2.5 or greater — is generally indicative of an underactive thyroid. In most cases, doctors will follow up with a test to measure the amount of free T4 in the blood. Low levels of free T4 coupled with elevated TSH levels indicate hypothyroidism, though even elevated levels of TSH with normal free T4 may indicate hypothyroidism.

Once diagnosed, hypothyroidism can be treated and controlled with medication to bring TSH and T4 levels back to normal.

The primary medication

— synthetic thyroxine — is identical to the T4 hormone the human thyroid makes. Patients must take the medication every day to replace the T4 hormone the thyroid gland can no longer produce.

Typically, once adjusted and a stable dose is reached, thyroid medication is well tolerated and has few side effects. Some patients need T3 added to the T4, but this varies from person to person.

Here I am with my family.

Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.

Cell: 908-391-8396 | Email: donnamurray@comcast.net | www.donnamurrayrealestate.com

Q

. Tell us about yourself.

A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek,

which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.

Q

. Tell us about your family.

A. My husband Tom works for American Airlines

as a 777 Captain Check Airman. He recently had the honor of serving as one of the four captains who flew Pope Francis during his U.S. visit. We have three children, who attended St. Paul’s School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School (’09, ’11, ’13) in Lawrenceville. Jonathan graduated Rutgers Engineering program and works for TD Securities, Abigail is a grad student at Rider going for a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, and Laurel is graduating Seton Hall in May 2017 and continuing there in the fall for grad school.

Q

. What do you like to do for fun?

A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many

253 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08540 609-924-1600

nature trails in the area. I also love to entertain and enjoy volunteering in the community. Most importantly, I cherish when my family of five can coordinate our busy schedules to spend some quality time together.

Q

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate?

A. Real Estate is continuing to change quickly with the

times. More listings will have interactive floorplans, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone pictures, etc., and the industry will continue to find new innovations for enticing buyers. Buyers search online, wanting to be equipped with as much information as possible before choosing to visit a home, and I anticipate that trend continuing with the aid of technology.

Q

. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years?

A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology.

Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.
