Township, school board at odds over municipal building costs

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

An apparent communication breakdown between the township committee and school board recently boiled over into the public arena, with officials on both sides trading barbs over stalled financial talks that could potentially cause the district to pay rent for its offices in the municipal building.

Since the Hillsborough Township Municipal Complex opened its doors in 1991, the Hillsborough Township Board of Educa-

tion has operated its central offices within the municipal building on a rent-free basis. School officials claim that the deal was made at the request of then Mayor Peter J. Biondi.

Moments before the school board voted to approve its $129.8 million budget for the 2018-19 school year on April 30, Committeeman Carl Suraci questioned why discussions regarding a potential end to that deal had hit a snag, despite agreeing to meet again before the final budget hearing.

“I think it’s a challenge that all governing bodies have right now - trying to live within the [2 percent] cap,” Suraci said. “This was just kind of the natural progression when we were starting to review [our costs]…it was one area where there was a large disparity that needed to be addressed.”

According to Suraci, the township’s total annual expenditures to run the municipal building in an average year costs approximately $1.15 million. That figure includes building repair and maintenance, insurance and

utility costs.

If the district were to cover its share of the costs, Suraci said, it could end up being around $109,000, though he said that figure was “negotiable.” He also said the township handles the district’s payroll, for which he estimates the district owes $50,000.

“Our perspective is that we have the $20 million budget and they’ve got the $129 million budget and we’re subsidizing them,” he said. “We also do provide the school resource officer for free.”

Along with the school board,

the municipal building also houses the Hillsborough Township Police Department, the township fire district, various senior activities and the Hillsborough branch of the Somerset County Library System.

While most of those uses are township-run, like the police department, Somerset County contributes funding to cover operating costs for the library, which takes up a large portion of the building.

Officials introduce $29.4M budget

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

The Hillsborough Township Committee formally introduced its 2018 municipal budget, totaling $29.4 million, with residents expected to foot $19.3 million in taxes.

Following years of a flat tax rate, residents will be called upon to contribute to the municipality’s daily operation at a slightly lower rate of 32.6 cents per $100 of assessed value. Last year was the third consecutive year that the tax rate was 33 cents per $100 of assessed value.

Deputy Mayor Doug Tomson said the slight decrease reflected a push from the committee to keep costs low for residents.

“This budget is a direct result of the township committee’s commitment to continued fiscal responsibility; working efficiently while providing our taxpayers the same level of service excellence they expect and deserve,” Tomson said.

From 2015 to 2017, homes assessed at $350,000 have had to pay $1,155 a year in taxes. If the budget is passed next month, a household at that same assessed value will pay $1,141 in taxes for 2018.

Chief Financial Officer Nancy Costa said this year’s proposed tax decrease stemmed from a $195 million increase in the township’s total rateable value, which she said increases the tax base over which the tax levy is distributed.

“The increase in rateable value within the township helps to hold, or reduce, the municipal property tax each year, by providing more See BUDGET, Page 3A

Pitch perfect

Hillsborough Baseball League (HBL) kicked off its 2018 season, Saturday, April 21, holding their opening day ceremonies at Mountainview Park. Mayor Gloria McCauley, pictured above, threw out the first pitch. HBL has been a part of the Hillsborough community since 1955, offering recreational baseball programs throughout the spring season. This year marks the second season in their home at the Mountainview Park Complex.

Committee honors latest pair of Troop 489 Eagle Scouts Weeks after their fellow Troop 489 members were recognized by the township committee for achieving the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America, two more teens were awarded special proclamations commending their volunteerism.

Flanked by family amidst the applause of their peers and fellow residents, Shreyas Murali and Rakesh Senthilvelan were presented the proclamations by Mayor Gloria McCauley during the April 24 committee meeting.

Officials commended the youths for their commitment to their troop and the work they completed in their pursuit of becoming Eagle Scouts.

“The Hillsborough Township Committee recognizes and extends our sincere congratulations to Shreyas Murali and Rakesh Senthilvelan for having achieved the status of Eagle Scout,” McCauley said. “[That rank is] an honor for both and for those who guided [them], with best wishes for a bright future.”

According to the teen, the bench is intended to be a place for kids to make friends and be more accepting of their classmates’ differences. The bench features an inscription, reading “if you can be anything, be kind.”

Along with the bench, Murali prepared and landscaped the immediate area surrounding the bench. Officials said the entire

project was the culmination of approximately 142 hours of labor and required the assistance of 14 other people.

Over the years, Murali has served as Troop 489’s patrol leader, quartermaster, troop quartermaster, librarian and Philmont Trek crew reporter.

In Hillsborough High School, Murali participates in the school marching band, sax quartet, jazz ensemble and the grand staff ensemble. He also is the German

Conflict

Continued from Page 1A officials approached the school district about possibly entering into a new agreement that would require that the district cover costs associated with keeping the school board’s office running, including rent, utilities and maintenance.

According to a statement provided by the district’s Community Outreach Coordinator Kia Bergman, district officials said the school board and the township offices “have a long history of working cooperatively for the betterment of our children.”

“Keeping the local taxpayers in mind, township activities such as summer camps and recreation sports leagues are not charged any building rental fees when they are held at Hillsborough schools, the district’s statement reads. “The Board of Education will meet in the near future to further discuss its options.”

According to Suraci, discussions about possible rent payments took place a couple of times between January and March, though

Scouts he did not personally attend. He said school district officials opted to halt further discussions until state aid figures came in.

During the meeting, Suraci pointed out that after the district received those figures, the township allegedly found it more difficult to gain an audience with the district. “[Board President Judith] Haas just refused to have anymore face to face meetings with the township,” Suraci said.

During initial meetings, Haas said she and Board Vice President Dr. Lorraine Soisson met with Mayor Gloria McCauley and another member of the township committee. She said additional meetings did not happen because she was worried that the meeting “would have violated [the committee’s] quorum” rules.

“That meeting took place with two members of the five-person township committee,” she said.

Throughout their interaction, Suraci and Haas butted heads and made veiled comments about each other during the pub-

lic comment portion of the final budget hearing. Suraci said he was disappointed about the hostility between the two during the meeting.

“This is not very productive, this animosity that’s going on. This should be really simple,” Suraci said.

Moving forward, Suraci said he hopes the district and municipality can come to an agreement.

“Attorneys like things in writing. What happens is people come and go and some of those handshakes get forgotten,” he said. “We need to maintain an agreement at a visible level so that when the players do change, you’re not relying on institutional knowledge as to what was agreed upon - it is spelled out and it is fair for both sides so there’s no understandings going forward.”

“If we had a well-defined agreement, everyone would be better off,” he said.

ticipated increase in snow removal costs ($185,000) incurred during the multiple winter storms experienced from February through April.

Though officials said the township was entitled to take exceptions to go above the 2 percent cap, Costa said the township took none.

“If the township were to take advantage of the allowable exceptions and

exceed the 2 percent levy cap, the taxpayers would have incurred an additional $157,743 in taxes,” Costa said. “The municipal budget comes in below the tax levy cap while receiving no additional state aid.”

The final hearing on the municipal budget is slated to take place at 7 p.m. in the municipal building on June 12. Full budget documents can be found online at hillsborough-nj.org.

dollars over which the tax levy can be dispersed,” Costa said.

The proposed budget saw an overall increase from the $28.9 million budget for 2017 thanks to spending increases in four main categories: the capital improvement fund ($80,000), pension contributions ($89,352), utilities ($100,000) and an unanA

Murali also thanked his parents for “pushing me so hard to get to this point.”

Senthilvelan, also a Hillsborough High School senior, completed his Eagle Scout project by conducting a fundraiser in order to purchase, package and ship 300 care packages to soldiers stationed overseas through Operation Shoebox.

The teen said it was through his efforts that he realized the importance of Operation Shoebox and its message.

“Project Shoebox was very helpful in helping me carry out my Eagle project and they’ve also really opened my eyes to this cause of helping soldiers stationed overseas,” he said. “[Our troops] deserve all of the respect that we can give them.”

As a member of Troop 489, Senthilvelan has served as the assistant senior patrol leader and led a Philmont Scout Ranch expedition and crew leader.

In school, he is a member of both the high school golf and track teams. He also serves as the Spanish Honor Society vice president and the National Honor Society treasurer.

Over the years, Senthilvelan has earned several awards at Model United Nations conferences in the United States and Canada and was awarded Volunteer of the Year in Mumbai through the organization Uplift Humanity, which seeks to educate children in impoverished areas of India.

“I’d like to thank my troop mentors and my fellow troop members… they’ve all been very helpful to me throughout this process of obtaining Eagle,” Senthilvelan said.

“They’ve been great role models for how I should lead my life.”

THE STATE WE’RE IN

By Michele S. Byers

The Pine Barrens gets some help from its friends Along New Jersey State Highway 72 in New Lisbon, just around the bend from Brendan Byrne State Forest, is a publicly accessible forest fire observation tower. The view is stunning: one can see the vast expanse of our Pine Barrens, a sea of green extending in every direction.

At first glance, the forests may all look alike.

But look more closely and you’ll begin to see a rich diversity of trees and plants, surprising for a place called barren.

Maintaining diverse forests and habitats within the Pine Barrens is the focus of restoration programs conducted by the New Jersey Forest Service and its partners.

The Pine Barrens landscape is dominated by globally rare forests known as pitch pine/scrub oak upland, along with lowland pitch pine, cedar swamps, and maple-gum swamps.

Pitch pine forests - even the wet, swampy ones - need frequent fires to maintain rare or unique species of reptiles, amphibians, birds and wildflowers.

And there’s a lot more to this sea of green. Look for meandering ribbons of

deep green Atlantic white cedar along streams. The Shinn’s Branch Cedar Swamp Natural Area is close by. Eighty percent of New Jersey’s Atlantic white cedar forests were lost due to over-harvesting and over-abundant deer; the recovery of these magnificent forests is a continuing priority of the NJ Forest Service.

Farther southeast from the New Lisbon fire tower are the famous pygmy pines, also known as the pine plains, the most wildfire-adapted plant community in the world! These short-stature pines and oaks have survived centuries of wildfires, and prairie warblers and brown thrashers are two of the area’s most abundant birds. The NJ Forest Service is working with the U.S. Forest Service and other partners to restore pitch pine forests through ecological burning.

From the fire tower, you’ll see soft, light green patches of tall oak trees interrupting the darker green carpet, especially westward toward Magnolia Road.

These tall oaks often grow in slightly richer soils. The extra soil moisture, along with natural firebreaks

COLLEGE CONNECTION

provided by wide swamps, protect these oak forests from the frequent and severe wildfires found in nearby pitch pine/shrub oak barrens.

You would need to take a walk through these oak forests to experience their diversity! Southern red oak, chestnut oak, white oak, black oak, scarlet oak, post oak - plus shortleaf, pitch, and Virginia pines to start. And they host different birds than other parts of the Pine Barrens: species that like to glean insects amongst tall deciduous canopies.

Yellow-billed cuckoos, great-crested flycatchers, summer and scarlet tanagers, Baltimore orioles, and many woodpeckers - including the state endangered red-headed woodpecker - utilize these oak woods, especially in places where the lower layers of forest aren’t crowded with too many young pines.

Tall oak forests in the Pine Barrens face many challenges. In recent decades, gypsy moth outbreaks have killed many, and browsing deer have prevented the trees from replacing themselves with new seedlings.

The New Jersey Forest

Service is currently restoring a 64-acre tree oak– shortleaf pine forest along Magnolia Road in Brendan Byrne State Forest. Until now, the oaks and shortleaf pine trees in this little island of diversity had not been regenerating. The forestry management project will ensure that the oaks and shortleaf pines regenerate so this unique habitat type is not swallowed up by the surrounding pitch pine forest.

The Magnolia Road forest has been thinned, especially of excess pitch pine trees, with many large oaks and shortleaf pines left in scattered locations to provide acorns and seeds. The thick layer of huckleberry and low-bush blueberry bushes have been mowed to make way for germinating acorns and seeds, producing a pleasant, parklike appearance. A possible prescribed burn will help encourage even more seed germination in the sandy soil.

Light soil disturbance is not risky in the Pine Barrens. Unlike forests in other parts of this state we’re in, Pine Barrens forests have virtually no alien invasive species to outcompete na-

tive wildflowers like bird’sfoot violet and trailing arbutus.

In the old woodcutting days, oak forests were over harvested with no thought for the future. Roots resprouted but no habitat was created for vibrant seedlings. Today, the NJ Forest Service uses complex growth models to predict the rates at which the new generation of oaks and pines will grow between their healthy parents.

The NJ Forest Service designed the Magnolia Road project so the future forest will have trees of all species and ages. Hopefully, a deer fence won’t be needed to allow seedling oaks to grow tall. Should fences be needed, the NJ Forest Service has plenty of experience erecting deer fences to protect young Atlantic white cedar forests. Close monitoring of the forest re-growth will determine the next steps to ensure that this patch of diverse tall oaks and mixed species of pines will not only rebound, but thrive.

Check out the Magnolia Road restoration site next time you visit the Pine Barrens. In May and June, you will almost assuredly find

bright red male summer tanagers flitting in the tops of the tall oaks. The females are a leafy yellowish green color and hard to spot, but both sexes often utter a two or three syllabled “hicup” or “hic-cic-up” call. If you are really lucky, you’ll catch a flash of a brilliant red-headed woodpecker!

Kudos to the NJ Forest Service for its many restoration projects in the Pine Barrens, including a nearby Red-headed woodpecker habitat restoration in Brendan Byrne State Forest.

400 Colleges Still Have Openings for Fall 2018 More than 400 college and universities still have openings, financial aid, and housing available to qualified freshmen and/ or transfer students for the fall 2018 semester. This information comes from the National Association for

College Admission Counseling (NACAC) which releases a list, in early May of each year, of schools that still have room for students seeking admission for the upcoming fall semester.

May 1 is the national response deadline for most

It took a long time for spring-like weather to arrive, and with the season in full swing, Friends of Princeton Open Space is hosting a benefit that is perfect for this time of year.

“A Taste of Spring” will take place May 19 at a private home in Princeton. It will offer a tour of the home’s private garden, landscaped with native plants, and a presentation about sustainable gardening from guest speaker Holly Grace Nelson, landscape architect.

Jeff Geist, Friends of Princeton Open Space’s resource manager, will talk about the group’s current project to restore native plants and trees at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve and lead a walk there afterward.

A reception will take place in a barn on the grounds of the hosts’ home. Dress is casual and attendees who want to participate in the walk at the preserve afterward should wear appropriate shoes that can tolerate moisture and protection from insect bites for walking on the trails.

The walk around Mountain Lakes Preserve will give participants the opportunity to see some of the native and non-native plant communities that exist there, and what FOPOS is doing to enhance the number of native plants and trees. The forest restoration project is still in its early stages; a fence has been constructed around approximately half of the project area which will protect young trees and plants from deer browse.

“Walkers should see the beautiful native dogwoods and redbuds in bloom, as well as herbaceous plants, like trout lilies and May apples. They may see blue herons or red-tailed hawks, as well as myriad

other birds; a bald eagle has been seen at the preserve in the past,” says Wendy Mager, FOPOS board president. “Natural Resource Manager Jeff Geist will point out insects, turtles and other critters, and explain the program to respond to Emerald Ash Borer.”

One reason for the focus on native plants is invasive species have moved into areas of the the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve.

Wine, craft beer and light hors d’oeuvres will be served at the barn. Admission costs $50, $25 for Friends of Princeton Open space Members. Reservations are required

by May 14. Confirmed guests will receive location and parking information for the private home/garden.

Funds raised will support the organization’s work to preserve, protect and steward land in Princeton. Rain date for this event is May 20.

For questions about the event, email info@fopos.org or call 609-921-2772.

Friends of Princeton Open Space also is offering a Mother’s Day event with an open house at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, 57 Mountain Avenue, Princeton.

The free event will feature tea and cookies, which will be served on the lovely stone terrace overlooking the lakes. And there will be a special treat for moms.

Maps will be available for a familyfriendly, self-guided walk in the Mountain Lakes Preserves.

Visitors can expect to see lots of birds and other wildlife, spring wildflowers and enjoy some nice family time outdoors.

COVER STORY - STAGE REVIEW

by Anthony Stoeckert

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

P

olitical incorrectness is alive and well at Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville. Mel Brooks’ musical “The Producers” features an AfricanAmerican accountant singing about debits and credits in the style of a slave song; jokes based on homosexual stereotypes, and gags about men ogling women. Then there are the countless Hitler jokes, and the tap-dancing Nazis.

And just about all of those jokes work. “The Producers” is one of the funniest musicals of all time, and Music Mountain Theatre has done a great job with its production, running through May 20. Mel Brooks’ story of two producers who scheme to produce the worst show in Broadway history began as a movie starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. It was Brooks’ first film and won him a Best Screenplay Oscar. Decades later, Brooks adapted it for the stage, writing the book and songs. It opened in 2001, starring Nathan Lane and Mathew Broderick. It broke box office records, and also the record for most Tonys by a musical — 12, a record that still stands.

As successful as the show was, ticket sales dragged after Lane and Broderick left the show. They returned in December 2003 for a short run, and the show ran for a few more years. It was an unqualified hit — running six years, but not as long as shows like “Phantom of the Opera” or “Mamma Mia.” The curtain rises on opening night of Max Bialystock’s latest show, “Funny Boy,” a musical of “Hamlet.” The crowd sings a peppy number about how much they hated the show — “The songs were rotten, the book was stinkin’/What he did to Shakespeare, Booth did to Lincoln.”

Max (played by Eddie Honan) enters the scene and sings “The King of Broadway,” in which he laments his recent failures. He is, after all, the first producer to do summer stock in the winter. And you’ve heard of theater in the round? He invented theater in the square — “Nobody had a good seat!”

Wallowing in his office the next day, Max is visited by Leo Bloom (Patrick Mertz), a timid accountant. Their first meeting is one of the funniest things you’ll see, as Leo panics when Max takes his blue blanket and passes out.

“They come here, they all come here,” Max says. Leo gets hysterical and Max throws water at him, “I’m wet, I’m hysterical and I’m wet!” Leo shouts.

Things eventually calm down, and Leo gets to work on Max’s books. He then notes a producer could make more

money with a flop than a hit. This inspires Max, who asks him to explain. “Let’s assume you’re a dishonest man,” Leo says. “Assume away,” Max replies.

Leo then explains how Max could raise all the money he wants for a show, and if the show were to flop and close opening night, Max wouldn’t be obliged to pay his investors any profits because there would be no profits. So he can raise more money than the show is worth and profit what’s left over.

Max decides to raise $2 million his usual way, sleeping with elderly widows: “There’s a lot of little old lades out there,” he says. Then, he and Leo will find the worst script, the worst director and the worst actors to ensure failure.

Honan and Mertz make a great team. Mertz does especially fine work as Leo, playing him with innocence and

also a little bit of optimism. Mertz sings Leo’s big number “I Want to Be a Producer” with a lot of charm. The song takes place in the dreary accounting office Leo works in, as beautiful dancers emerge from filing cabinets and Leo dons a top hat. Mertz also delivers lines perfectly — when the boss comes in and tells Leo it’s not time for a toilet break, Mertz deadpans: I’m not going into the toilet, I’m going into show business.”

Max and Leo find the the play — “Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp With Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden.”

It’s written by a Nazi named Franz Liebkind (Erik Snyder). Max and Leo visit Franz, who keeps pigeons on the roof of his apartment building. He’s excited that they want to bring his show to Broadway, but he makes them prove their loyalty by dancing and donning swastika arm bands See ‘PRODUCERS’, Page 5B

‘Caged’ at Passage Theatre P

assage Theatre in Trenton is ending its 2017-18 season with a stunning and powerful play, “Caged,” running at the Mill Hill Playhouse through May 20.

The writing of “Caged” is credited to the New Jersey Prison Cooperative, with contributions from 28 people who were either serving in prison or have been in prison. Jeffrey Wise is credited as script workshop producer and there’s also a script developing team, which includes June Ballinger, Passage’s former artistic director. The play is now being presented

by C. Ryanne Dominguez, the company’s current artistic director.

The various stories of different prisoners have been developed into one cohesive narrative that tells the story of a family in Newark and how its members are affected by their surroundings and the prison system.

That would be the Moore family. Chimene (played by Monah Yancy) is the mother. She has breast cancer, and her husband, Jimmy (Will Badgett) is a junkie who rarely eats dinner with the family, but does come by to take things he can sell.

Their children are Omar (Brandon Rubin), who recently became a father; daughter Sharonda (Nicolette Lynch); and youngest son Quan (Ural Grant), who the family is determined to keep off the streets.

Omar is breaking that rule, temporarily, enlisting his brother to help him sell drugs while his friend Shorty (Andrew Binger) serves a short sentence. Omar was once a key player in the neighborhood’s scene, but left when the family moved away. With the family back in Newark, he’s making his way back, so he can take care of his mother and his newborn son.

Omar ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time, and gets arrested. We then follow his life in prison and how his incarceration affects the rest of the family. Omar deals with the humiliation of undressing in front of Officer Watkins (Boris Franklin),

who runs the prison. Franklin is a powerhouse in the scene, barking orders. Rubin’s acting here is so good, it was difficult to watch.

Omar isn’t a major player in the drug trade, but he’s offered a plea with a long sentence: 17 years. If he goes to court and loses, he’ll spend more time in jail. It isn’t worth the risk.

Help comes from his cellmate, Ojore (also played by Badgett), a 1960s radical who murdered two cops during a bank robbery. Ojore spent 22 years in solitary and has recently joined the general prison population. Ojore serves as a mentor to Omar, teaching him not only how to survive prison, but how to stay human. Part of his mentoring involves encouraging Omar to read Malcom X and George Jackson.

Ojore wants Omar to keep his essence, his humanity, but Omar says he has nothing to say. “That’s the cell talking,” says Ojure, whose teen son was killed by cops. He tells Omar how the revolutionaries knew they were doomed, but they had to fight. “Most of us were captured. A lot of us were killed, and we’re still locked up. But the killings by the pigs slowed down. They got scared.

It didn’t stop, but it slowed.” He also knows things have changed and wonders if his generation failed, but killing those officers freed him.

It’s one of many powerful moments, but the crux of the story is how the system and streets have affected Omar’s family. Those early scenes of the family’s life show how Omar’s incarceration affects each member of that family, often to heartbreaking extent.

The family struggles, but there’s hope.

Chimene has unbreakable faith, and Omar has hope that his son will have a good life.

Then there’s Quan, a smart kid who has two hamsters, and a girlfriend who loves bowling. In fact, he’s saving money to buy her new bowling shoes for her birthday. In an early moment, Quan tells Omar those See CAGED, Page 5B

‘Producers’ Continued from Page 3B

— “Nice colors,” Max notes. Snyder might just give the night’s best performance: singing and dancing, and giving a brilliant and convincing comic performance.

Next up is finding the best (or worst) director, Roger De Bris, brilliantly played by Michael Moeller. Roger loves the script, and its historical insights — who knew the Third Reich meant Germany? But it’s too downbeat, a Broadway show needs to be “gay,” which leads to the outrageous song “Keep It Gay.” Max tells Roger to make “Springtime for Hitler” as gay as he wants.

Moeller is a blast, so funny and a great singer. His best moment comes when Roger ends up playing Hitler in the show (long story) as the ultimate attention-starved Broadway ham, flirting with audience members and singing lines like “There’s no greater/Dictator in the land,” setting up the chorus to sing “The furor is causing a furor.”

Of course things go horribly right and the show is a smash. The critics see it as brilliant satire — “Christmas came early to Broadway this year, and guess who they stuck in our stockings? Adolf Hitler” one of them writes. That leaves the producers

by Anthony Stoeckert

in quite a pickle.

The whole cast is pitch perfect, including Katie Rochon as Ulla, the stunning Swedish woman Max and Leo hire to be their secretary and star. As Act 2 starts, Ulla has completely painted Max’s dreary office, when did find time to do that? “Intermission,” she says.

Louis Palena directs. He’s assembled a great cast and keeps the pace moving. The show has some clever staging, allowing to switch from scene to scene swiftly Jordan Brennan’s costumes are a hoot — the opening night crowd looks stylish, the showgirls’ outfits are stunning and then there are the giant pretzels and sausage (you’ll see). The set by Karl Weigand is effective, and the silhouette of the New York skyline makes for a great background.

“The Producers” runs for two more weeks. Don’t miss it, you’ll have a great time. Unless you have an aversion to talent and laughter.

“The Producers” is at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, through May 20. For more information, go to www.musicmountaintheatre.org or call 609-397-3337.

‘Caged’ Continued from Page 4B shoes cost $60 and Omar jokes, “Where you going to get that kind of money? And now with two hamsters to feed.”

The intimate space of the Mill Hill Playhouse is the perfect setting for “Caged.”

Rubin carries the evening, as the story is told through Omar. Grant also plays a key role and is so good as Quan, your heart will break when he makes a key mistake.

Lynch is a pillar of strength.

And key to the evening is Badgett. As the father, he’s frustrating, but also empathetic. He’s irresponsible, but loving toward his family. He wants his ailing wife to feel better; and despite his addiction, he

knows his youngest son needs to stay off the streets. Then Badgett plays the wise and strong Ojore, and the contrast in his characters — and those men’s relationships with Omar — is fascinating.

“Caged” is a special piece of theater.

It’s a play with a point of view, but it isn’t preachy at all; it cuts to the core through storytelling and drama.

“Caged” continues at the Mill Hill Playhouse, 205 E. Front St., Trenton, through May 20. Tickets cost $33, $28 seniors, $13 students; passagetheatre.org; 609-3920766.

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

I

n the early 1990s, Eric Houghton and Robert Marquis collaborated on a musical project titled “Pioneer Songs,” which used songs and narration to tell the story of the first successful wagon trail to California.

It started when Marquis began to take piano lessons with Houghton, a graduate of Westminster Choir College, who composes music and also teaches at Westminster.

“He had taken lessons as a child, like so many people, and had gone on to become a successful businessman,” Houghton says. “He had a local public relations business.

He came in and wanted to start taking lessons again, so I taught him for a while, he was pretty good.”

Houghton had written two piano pieces — one called “Folk Song,” the other “Cradle Song” — and he had Marquis play them as part of his studies.

“He came back the following week and he was just ecstatic about the style and the pieces themselves,” Houghton

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

says. “He had learned them and he said, ‘You know Eric,’ and he just dropped this on me, he said, ‘I’ve always wanted to write a show, and these have this early American sound to them, and let’s write a show about pioneers.”

Marquis wrote lyrics and Houghton wrote the music.

“He just had this incredible exuberance about the piece, and then it became the show,” Houghton says of Marquis.

“He would give me an idea and I was able to capture the idea in music.”

“Pioneer Songs” debuted in 1993 at Westminster Chapel, where it also was recorded for CD release.

“He was so optimistic and he actually funded an infomercial, a fancy, 30-minute infomercial that we sold on late night,” Houghton says.

In January 1994, Houghton got a call from Marquis’

IN CONCERT Continued from Page 6B wife, telling him his musical partner had died from a heart attack. Marquis was 48 years old.

“I remember, it was an ice storm that weekend and I was supposed to meet him with a new song,” Houghton says.

“And I’ll never forget, he had told me, ‘Eric, I’ve never been more optimistic about ‘Pioneer Songs’ than I am right now.’ Two days later, he was taken.”

Houghton now has created a new orchestration of “Pioneer Songs,” which will make its debut May 18 at the Princeton Meadow Church and Event Center in West Windsor.

The performance will feature The Westminster Community

Orchestra, conducted by Ruth Ochs; as well as the Westminster Community Chorus and the Pennsbury Choir, conducted by James Moyer.

Soloists will be soprano Kathee Zenn; mezzo-soprano Miranda Lammers Smith; tenor Jacob Keleman; and bassbaritone Michael Wisnosky. All of the soloists are students at Westminster, something Houghton wanted, in part because of the school’s impending sale to a Chinese education company.

“I thought it was very important, with everything going on at Westminster, all the uncertainty kind of ties into what the pioneers were feeling in a way,” Houghton says. “I thought it was very important to include the choir college,

I’m an alumnus, so I said, ‘Let’s audition some fine young singers from the college.’ So we did that.”

Houghton is looking forward to future performances, including a planned show in Colorado next spring.

“It’s been an amazing journey, really,” he says. “And it’s just starting again. The last two words of the show, in the celebration, when they make to California are “new life.” In spite of everything, this piece is beginning again.”

“Pioneer Songs” will be performed at the Princeton Meadow Church and Event Center, 545 Meadow Road, West Windsor, May 18, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15, $10 seniors/students; www.rider.edu/arts; 609-921-2663.

Pam Hersh

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

On April 28, when Michael Rosenberg started his new job in Princeton, a woman, who was a force of nature, stole his thunder. Rosenberg actually was thrilled about that fact. Then another powerful lady topped off the evening by raining on his parade. But the rain turned out to have a sunny side for Rosenberg.

From my perspective, the only glitch in his first day/ evening at work was that he never produced the hoagie from Hoagie Haven.

Although the above may sound like a scene in a convoluted French farce, the explanation makes great sense in a Princeton sort of way. Michael Rosenberg, the new managing director of McCarter Theatre Center, spent his first full day at work on the day/evening of the much-celebrated annual McCarter Gala. It featured a tour de force performance by Audra McDonald, the multi-talented, sixtime Tony winning star of Broadway, TV, movies, opera, and the concert stage.

Then Mother Nature provided torrential rain at the exact time audience members had to get from the theater to the tent, where dinner and dancing were to proceed. The “tremendous” McCarter staff, said Rosenberg, handled that situation with calm and aplomb, further convincing him of the wisdom of his accepting the McCarter position.

The hoagie from Hoagie Haven, however, was another story. McDonald, who captivated the audience not only with her extraordinary performance, but also with her exceptionally engaging storytelling, noted that in all of her prior visits to McCarter in Princeton, she never has been able to get a Hoagie Haven hoagie. If Rosenberg could have gotten a hoagie in a timely fashion (the crowds at Hoagie Haven are very daunting on Saturday nights), I am sure he would have produced one wrapped in the Gala program. No worries, Audra. I volunteer to be the hoagie runner the next time McCarter audiences are treated to your performance.

Throughout the evening, Rosenberg never displayed any new-kid-on-block jitters. He shook hands, joked and

From left: McCarter Board Chair Leslie Kuenne, Managing Director Michael Rosenberg, and Artistic Director Emily Mann. shared stories with hundreds of McCarter aficionados — and thus took the first steps toward fulfilling his role, defined by the board of trustees, as “highly external, managing relationships that are key to McCarter’s health, while guiding the strategic planning and execution of those plans in support of the theater’s artistic vision.”

Rosenberg acknowledged the challenge of running McCarter would be to take excellence to new heights. He thanked Harold Wolpert, the interim managing director (from October 2017 to April 2018), who presented Michael with a theater that really has its act together.

Many people, myself included, however, asked him the question — “Why?” Why did he decide to leave his successful and prestigious job as managing director of the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego to come to Princeton?

In the much extolled, resort-climate location of Southern California, his accomplishments were many, including

helping to develop and produce new works by Ayad Akhtar, Trey Anastasio, Amanda Green, Kirsten Greenidge, Quiara Alegría Hudes, John Leguizamo, Basil Twist, Doug Wright, and The Flaming Lips. He also was a force in having the La Jolla Playhouse currently represented in New York City with the musicals “Come From Away,” “Miss You Like Hell,” “Escape to Margaritaville,” “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” and “Jersey Boys.”

“I know the weather of central Jersey cannot compete with southern California, but weather just is not very important — especially since I spend most of my time inside the theater,” he said. It was the other aspects of the McCarter environment that made the job so enticing for Rosenberg.

“I came here to work with the most gifted artistic director in America — Emily Mann, [also McCarter’s resident playwright],” said Rosenberg from the McCarter Stage before McDonald began her performance. And although not a Princeton alumnus (he has a degree in theater arts from James Madison University), Rosenberg showed off his orange-and-black-stripped socks and referenced his enthusiasm for the opportunity to be part of the McCarter/ Princeton University relationship.

In a subsequent interview, Rosenberg elaborated on his respect for McCarter and the reason he made the move.

“The work that McCarter does is extraordinary,” he said.

“It’s nationally very highly regarded as both a producing venue and a presenting venue.” He also noted McCarter’s success as a presenter of world-class artists in dance, classical, pop, jazz, comedy magic, and performance art, thanks to Bill Lockwood, McCarter’s special programming director.

The McCarter mission of connecting to the community is most appealing to Rosenberg. “I would like to enhance the strong relationships McCarter already has with its community partners . . . and if possible expand the number of those partnerships,” he said.

Rosenberg, who worked in San Diego for nine years, always had a hankering for the New York City region, because it was where he began his career in the theater, where he spent most of his professional life, and where he met his wife. “I am delighted to return to New Jersey, where I have continued to maintain a home during my time in California,” he said. Because his father was in the Air Force, he grew up without strong geographic roots, so when he connected with New York after college, it felt like home.

Before La Jolla, Rosenberg was co, founder and executive director of a New - York non-profit theater collective, where for 14 years he produced new works by - several well-known writers including w Douglas Carter Beane, Warren Leight, Isaac Mizrahi, Paul Rudnick, and David and Amy Sedaris. His early work included stints in Atlantic City, at the Kennedy Center and with the National Dance Institute’s

Trenton residency.

He credits both his successful career and marriage to his serendipitous befriending of a doorman at the Neil Simon Theater. That doorman was Douglas Carter Beane, whose works he went on to produce — and whose sister became his wife.

Leslie Kuenne, president of the McCarter Board of Trustees, noted “We have just concluded the largest fundraising effort in McCarter’s 88-year history and have built a sound financial foundation for the future. With the completion of the Lewis Arts Complex on the Princeton University campus and two new restaurants at our doorstep, there is more creative energy coursing through our building than ever before. The board joins Emily Mann, Bill Lockwood, and the entire McCarter staff in welcoming Mike to McCarter.”

Furthermore, Rosenberg should note that the new Arts and Transit Complex at Princeton University includes the WaWa — also the home of some great hoagies, when he needs one in a pinch.

HEALTH MATTERS Dr. David B. Cohn

Loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness could signal sleep disorder Do you find yourself excessively sleepy during the day, even when it seems like you’ve gotten enough sleep the night before?

Do you nod off during the day or seem to fade out and have trouble concentrating?

A sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea, may be responsible.

Good sleep is essential for good health, and when sleep is compromised, there can be a range of effects, some potentially serious.

The Sleep Center at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, which is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, provides a full-range of services to diagnose and treat sleep disorders in adults and children.

Sleep apnea Quality sleep serves as a restorative function, helping repair and rejuvenate your mind and body. When you sleep, your brain

does some housekeeping, clearing proteins that may interfere with brain function.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, affecting 12 million to 18 million American adults, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Sleep apnea occurs when the upper airways repeatedly become blocked while you sleep, obstructing — and sometimes stopping — breathing for up to 60 seconds at a time throughout the night. This causes oxygen levels to fall and sleep to become fragmented and non-restorative.

Left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious health consequences. Research shows sleep apnea is linked to conditions such as stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, mood disorders, and cardiac arrhythmias. Additionally, some data suggests that chronic insufficient sleep may

Health Matters Continued from Page 22B

Signs and symptoms Often in patients with sleep apnea, the bed partner is the first one to notice the symptoms including heavy snoring, interrupted breathing and gasping for air.

In fact, in many instances patients have no idea these symptoms are occurring even if they are happening a hundred times a night. Although sleep apnea causes patients to wake up to breathe, these nighttime interruptions are not typically remembered.

One of the other most common identifiers of sleep apnea is excessive daytime sleepiness. People with sleep apnea find themselves fading out easily and falling asleep at inappropriate times during the day. Morning headaches, irritability, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, clumsy or slow motor skills, and depression are also symptoms of sleep apnea.

In addition to having an adverse affect on health, sleep apnea can also impact work performance, school and relationships.

Diagnosis and treatment If you regularly feel sleepy during the day or fail to wake up refreshed or if your snoring is disrupting the sleep of a loved one, talk to your physician, who will likely suggest a

sleep study. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and your overall health, a sleep study may be performed at home or in a designated sleep center. Sleep studies are able to record breathing, airflow, oxygen levels, and heart rate and rhythm. Sleep studies performed in a sleep center are also able to record brainwaves and limb movements.

Once diagnosed, sleep apnea may be treated with lifestyle changes such as losing weight, reducing alcohol intake, or changing your preferred sleep position from your back to your side for example. Oral appliances or mouthpieces may also be effective in repositioning your jaw or tongue to allow for unobstructed breathing.

For moderate or severe sleep apnea, the most commonly recommended treatment is a CPAP machine. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. When used as prescribed, a CPAP can bring great benefits, and many users notice immediate changes in their quality of sleep. Occasionally, surgery may be required if the sleep apnea is due to an obstruction or structural complication, such as enlarged tonsils or jaw difficulties.

For patients who are unable to use CPAP or in cases where CPAP is not effective, there is a new therapy available at Princeton Medical Center called targeted hypoglossal neurostimulation. With this therapy, an implant device sends pulses to the hypoglossal nerve in the neck to stimulate the tongue and prevent it from collapsing and blocking the airway. By keeping the airway clear, sleep apnea is significantly reduced or eliminated.

Visit the Princeton Health on Demand UStream channel at www.ustream.tv/princetonhealth where you can watch a pre-recorded presentation to learn more about sleep disorders, including sleep apnea. To learn more about the Sleep Center at PMC call, 609-853-7520.

Clinton Honda Installs “Hearing Loops” to Enhance Customer Experience Clinton Honda, located on 1511 Route 22 East in Clinton NJ, has become the first automotive dealership in the region to install Hearing Loop Technology in their showroom and service departments. These loops offer customers needing a hearing boost in a busy environment “20/20 hearing” as they interact with Clinton Honda staff. This hearing loop system—designed by EMCOM Systems of Hamilton Township—is a free- standing wireless device that delivers a crystal-clear audio signal to customers’ hearing aids and cochlear implants, via a telecoil (T-coil). Most current hearing devices contain a T-Coil, but Clinton Honda customers without Tcoils may borrow a small EMCOM headset to make sure that they hear clearly. Clinton Honda customer Catherine Large Wetstein of Flemington, who has a hearing loss, spoke to Clinton Honda chairman Steve Kalafer about these devices, and how they can help an estimated 40,000 people in this area (12,000 residents in Hunterdon County alone) who live with some type of hearing loss.

“As a business owner I believe we have an obligation to make everything clear and understandable when communicating with our customers,” said Kalafer. “I am happy to provide help to those who struggle with their hearing any way we can and to be able to contribute to a more positive interaction.” Hearing loss affects millions of Americans of all ages. About 20 percent of Americans (48 million) report some degree of treatable hearing loss. At age 65, one out of three individuals has some sort of hearing loss. In addition, hearing issues are the most common service-connected disabilities among American veterans: 2.3 million veterans receive either disability compensation for serviceconnected hearing disabilities or are in treatment for hearing-related issues.

“If we can help and aid even a small percentage of those individuals and improve their experience at the dealership we are more than happy to do so,” said Kalafer. We hope our efforts are a means to installing Audio Loop Hearing Systems in many other businesses across the state.” Clinton Honda, owned by the Kalafer family, is located at 1511 Route 22 East in Clinton NJ, and is an authorized Honda Sales, Service and Parts facility. They offer sales/leasing on an inventory of over 450 available new and certified pre-owned vehicles and are open 6 days a week for service and parts.
