Voters to select their party’s candidates next week By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

When the polls open for primary elections on June 5, voters in Hillsborough will split themselves down party lines to choose who will represent their particular set of beliefs this November in the race for two committee seats. Four residents will vie for the open spots on the governing body - two Democrats and two Republicans. 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 up for grabs 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. Hillsborough Township Republican Committee Chair Helen Haines described both Lipani and Skobo as “dynamic individuals” who have lived in the township for decades. Lipani is a life-long Hillsborough resident and small business owner who 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 received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Rochester. As a 45-year Hillsborough resident, Skobo has been active throughout the community. He has served as a former Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Captain of Detectives who has a master’s degree in criminal justice from Rutgers University. He is married with two children. Described by fellow Republicans as an active volunteer around the community, Skobo has been a member of the Hillsborough Township Recreation Commission; the Board of Somerset

Treatment Services; the Somerset County Youth Leadership; Somerville Elks Lodge #1068; the Rutgers University Alumni Association; Leadership Somerset; Hillsborough Township Cultural and Arts Commission; and Hillsborough Township Planning Board. 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. 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 20-year 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,

Police department hires a pair of new officers By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

Heading into the summer months, the Hillsborough Township Police Department bolstered its roster with the recent addition of two new police officers. During the committee meeting last Tuesday, the governing body voted to approve the hiring of Officers Patrick Farrell and Jacob Lawrence. The new hires were flanked by friends and family as they were formally sworn in by Mayor Gloria McCauley. Committeemen and Liaisons to Public Safety Greg Burchette and Carl Suraci, as well as Police Chief Darren Powell, were also on hand to mark the occasion. Last March, Powell said the Hillsborough Township Police Department has an authorized strength of 52 officers. These lat-

est hires, according to Commiteeman Greg Burchette, fills gaps in the department’s roster and were necessary to keep the township well patrolled. “There exists various vacancies within the department and after a thorough search and interview process of very capable top candidates we are able to hire these officers to fill those vacancies,” Burchette, the committee’s liaison to public safety, said. According to officials, Ferrell is a 27-year-old former member of the Camden County Police Department. He completed his training at the Camden County Police Academy in September 2015. Lawrence, 24, had been working as a part-time police officer with the Borough of Lakehurst before joining the Hillsborough force. He completed his training at the Ocean County Police Academy last July.

RVCC nursing students feted for local service A handful of Raritan Valley Community College pupils currently studying nursing, including a pair of Hillsborough residents, were recently awarded the college’s Service Learning Leadership Award for their work in helping the community. Janet Adeleke of Hillsborough, Phebean Messeh of Sayerville, Anyanna Onwumelu of Highland Park, Patricia Sanchez Reyes of Flemington and Sindy Serrano-Maradiaga of Hillsborough, were honored at the RVCC Board of Trustees meeting, held May 15. According to the school, the

Service Learning Leadership Award is awarded to students each year in an effort to recognize their “outstanding leadership and personal development attained through their service learning project and reflection activity.” The award focuses on projects showing a high level of initiative in all areas of planning, including identifying the community need, planning the service and putting that plan into action, representatives with the school said. The quintet of nursing students were given the recognition for their work in an after-school program serving low-income, minority children and young teens from Somerset County at the Martin Luther King Youth Center in Bridgewater. Officials said the students, all of whom are immigrants, chose the Martin Luther King Youth Center because its cultural similarities to their own. The students’ project focused on a number of topics, including: Healthy Food Choices, Growth and Development, Holistic Health Care Delivery, Disease Prevention, Recovery from Illness, and Promotion of Wellness.

See story on Page 2.

ou might think a French play written in the 17th century would be hard for modern audiences to relate to, but The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s production of “Tartuffe” is fresh, funny and sharp. Its story of a man devoted to a con artist who uses religion as his currency will always be relevant, but this play also have a love story, betrayal, and one of the all-time great gossip sessions. It’s not hifalutin at all. In fact, “Tartuffe” is the the stuff of sitcoms. Orgon (Patrick Toon) is the patriarch who is enamored with Tartuffe (Brent Harris). He saw Tartuffe in church praying with such passion and theatrics that his prayers must be more sincere than other churchgoers. (It seems Orgon skimmed through Matthew). Everyone else in the family can’t stand Tartuffe, with the exception of Orgon’s mother, Madame Pernelle (Vivian Reed). They see Tartuffe for what his is, a moocher. He also has eyes on Orgon’s wife, Elmire (Caroline Kinsolving). But Orgon wants his daughter Mariane (Sarah Nicole Deaver) to marry Tartuffe, a tragedy for Mariane, who not only loathes Tartuffe but is engaged to Valere (Mark Hawkins). Raising the stakes is that Tartuffe’s son Damis (Aaron McDaniel) is in love with Valere’s sister, and if Mariane and Valere’s engagement is called off, Damis chances of being with the woman he loves are zero. So the family schemes up a plan, designed to show Orgon how Tartuffe covets Elmire, but that plan is ruined by the hotheaded Damis. Another key character is Dorine (Victoria Mack), a maid who is much smarter than the man of the house. An early, funny scene has Dorine updating Orgon about his family. As she tells him that his wife had a bad fever for days, Orgon asks “And Tartuffe?” “He’s round and red, bursting with health, and excellently fed,” the maid says, to which Orgon famously replies, “Poor fellow.” The scene builds as Dorine exaggerates Elmire’s illness, but Orgon is concerned only with Tartuffe.

Bonnie J. Monte, the Shakespeare Theatre’s artistic director, helms this production, running through June 10, an extension from its original planned run. Monte has assembled a top-notch cast, filled with actors who are sharp with funny lines (from Richard Wilbur’s famous translation) and also are terrific with physical comedy. As tension builds, so does the energy, and there are plenty of antics involving a closet people keep hiding in. Harris is brilliant in the title role. He brings a phony earnestness to the role, but holds back just enough that we could see Orgon falling for his act. He’s great in moments where Tartuffe has to weasel himself out of a situations. He’s a villain to be sure, but never so threatening as to take away from the comedy. Mack is great as Dorine, the servant, probably the smartest, and sharpest character in the play. She and Toon play off each other wonderfully. Toon makes a great Orgon, he isn’t the brightest guy around, but he’s not dumb, and ultimately has a good heart. The funniest scene involves Elmire pretending to seduce in Tartuffe, while Orgon hides under a table. Elmire does this to prove what Tartuffe truly is, and there are plenty of things said, and done, to show Orgon the truth, but he doesn’t expose himself. Kinsolving carries the scene, alternating her fake passion toward Tartuffe to her coded hints to her husband. Nikkie Delhomemme’s costumes are thrilling, setting the period with plenty of flair. And Brittany Vasta’s sets are beautiful. It’s an ornate, bright scene with offwhite walls, a marble floor and a threepanel paintin of cherubs floating in the sky. It would be shame to miss the “Tartuffe,” it’s a perfect kickoff to the Shakespeare Theatre’s new season. The Shaksepeare Theatre is located on the campus of Drew University, 36 Madison Ave, Madison.

COVER STORY by Anthony Stoeckert

All That Jazz at McCarter

ummertime, and the music is jazzy. McCarter Theatre is introducing something new this year with its “Jazz in June Festival,” series of four concerts. The lineup begins with a show by The Bad Plus, June 8. Next is a concert by Joey Alexander June 9, followed by Christian Sands June 14; and Fred Hersch June 15. “Summer is the prime time for jazz festivals, they are almost ubiquitous not only in this country but around the world,” says Bill Lockwood, McCarter’s special programming director. “In more ways than one, it is the summer festival circuit that keeps the world of jazz and its artists thriving, so I thought it was time for McCarter to join the club.” He adds that McCarter has never hosted any kind of music festival, and that presenting the concerts in McCarter’s smaller venue, the Berlind Theatre, makes perfect sense. “We have elected to dip our toe into the festival waters on a small scale, starting with the musical unit familiar to most audiences, the piano jazz trio,” Lockwood says. “Which is why our first festival incorporates four concerts spanning several generations of the format, and featuring artists who have made it their specialty.” The Bad Plus has played McCarter previously, in 2007. The group is known for its original music as well as playing pop covers. It recently released a new album, “Never Stop II,” with new member Orrin Evans. “Its music always defied categorization, searching for rules to break, every concert a kind of sonic adventure,” Lockwood says of The Bad Plus. “But the original trio was a model of cohesion and never played a gig with a substitute musician — that is, until this year. So it was big news in the jazz world when the group’s founding pianist, Ethan Iverson, stepped down after 18 years, and was replaced by Orrin Evans, a longtime icon of the Philadelphia jazz scene. Understandably, it’s been a big year for Evans, but he is no stranger to the jazz piano trio, since he’s been a band leader for over 20 years and has had his own trio, Tarbaby. “ Alexander is just 14 years old, and made his McCarter debut in 2017. “The word ‘phenomenon’ is a misnomer when it comes to his prodigious talent,” Lockwood says of Alexander. “It started when he played for Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center in 2014 at the age of 11; and prior to that New York debut, I had occasion to ask Wynton whom he thought was going to be the ‘next big thing’ in the piano jazz world,

Musicians scheduled to perform during McCarter Theatre’s “Jazz in June Festival” include Christian Sands (above) and Fred Hersch. and his answer without hesitation: Joey Alexander.” Christian Sands is also young, 28, and has picked up five Grammy nominations. “And what better mentor could you have than Christian McBride, with whom he toured as his pianist for six years,” Lockwood says. “It was McBride who first alerted me to Sands and said that he was on the cusp of breaking out on his own in a big way from his generation of jazz pianist colleagues, not only as performer but also as composer, ‘so get him while you can!&#039;” Sands also is taking over stewardship of the Erroll Garner Jazz Project, taking over from Geri Allen, who was a mentor to Sands. “Erroll Garner, whose [album] “Concert by the Sea” is the stuff of legend, was the first jazz artist I ever presented at McCarter,” Lockwood says. “That Christian Sands is providing a sense of continuity to one of jazz music’s most enduring, but oft forgotten, keyboard giants is welcome news, especially for those of us for whom ‘Concert By the Sea’ — followed soon by Dave Brubeck and ‘Take Five’ — is where it all began.” The festival will wrap up with a concert by Hersch, who Lockwood describes as the festival’s “anchor.”

“It is all too easy to call him an ’eminence’ of the field, so high in the esteem of his colleagues is he held,” Lockwood says. “And far from aspiring to membership in the pantheon of jazz royalty, he is the pantheon, which explains why I determined early on that his participation in our inaugural festival was essential — it’s where you start.”

McCarter Theatre is located at 91 University Place, Princeton. For tickets and information, go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-258-2787.

STAGE REVIEW

by Anthony Stoeckert

‘An Act of God’ at Bucks County Playhouse

avid Javerbaum’s “An Act of God” is a light, comedic fantasy that portrays God as a lot of people wish he could be. This a God with a modern sensibility who rattles off jokes as if he’s the host of a mild roast. How does explain evolution and geological evidence that the Earth is billions of years old? He planted the evidence, made it look that way—take that Neil deGrasse Pagan! God also talks about his “wrath management issues” — and the Book of Job? It’s funnier than “The Book of Mormon” and “The Book of Mormon.” “Act of God,” running at the Bucks County Playhouse through June 16, offers thoughts from God, who has taken on the form of an actor named Harry Bouvy (who plays the character). And he has a whole new set of Ten Commandments for us. The old set needs an update, it seems. A few commandments stay unchanged, but the edits include “That shalt not tell others whom to fornicate,” and by that? “I mean the gays,” God says. In fact, he did indeed originally envision Adam and Steve, a relationship that

started with Adam knocked out cold (“I Cosbied his nectar,” God says). But the snake and the apple made Adam realize what was going on. So if God is OK with homosexuality, how does he explain “thou shalt not lie with a man as one lies with a woman,” which is not a commandment but is found in Leviticus. Simple — that’s good advice: “When you’re with a man, you can straight-up lie, but if you’re lying to a woman, you need to be more subtle.” “Act of God” made its Broadway debut in 2015 with Jim Parsons as God. It returned in 2016 starring Sean Hayes. It’s becoming a popular choice in regional theater (George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick staged it last year, with Kathleen Turner playing God), likely because it’s so simple to stage. It also seems to be a show that draws stars — what celebrity wouldn’t want to play God? — but Bucks made a good move in avoiding stunt casting. The play informs us that God has taken on the form of this stage actor name Bouvy, who bears a resemblance to Stanley Tucci. Dressed in a light-blue shirt, sky-colored tie complete with clouds, off-white pants and gold-painted sneakers, Bouvy plays the role with confidence (which comes in handy when playing the Almighty), humor and a touch of humanity. This God is all-knowing, and he also knows about his own failings. The show hits home when God talks about Jesus. He starts off funny, Jesus was a middle child and acted like it, but after noting that his son died not only for our sins, but for the sins of his father, God commands us to honor our children. This isn’t a one-man show, as God is joined by two archangels. Ashley D. Kelley is all charm as Michael, who peppers God with some annoying questions. Joe Kinosian plays Gabriel, setting the mood for God throughout the show. Kinosian has been at Bucks before, in “Murder for Two: Holiday Edition” and in “The Nerd,” and he’s terrific, as always. The set is simple, a platform with a denim-blue couch and screen projection. Director Tracy Brigden sets a brisk pace (the show runs less than 90 minutes), and brings a good dose of heart to the show. “An Act of God” isn’t deep. I can’t say it’s a laugh riot, but I chuckled, often.

“An Act of God” continues at Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, through June 16. For tickets and information, go to bcptheater.org or call 215-862-2121.

Sharing the stories that make Memorial Day Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. William Traubel, a Hopewell resident, West Point ‘66, and Princeton University ’72, has taken on a retirement avocation of communicating about the dead and bringing them to life. He is no psychic, but rather a medium for Revolutionary War heroes — a storyteller whose script is based on the events and people who fought and died for the establishment the United States of America. The speaker at the Spirit of Princeton Memorial Day Parade Ceremony, held May 26, Traubel — in both casual conversation and formal speeches — does a verbal reenactment of the triumphs and tribulations of the Revolutionary War soldiers with such earnestness and enthusiasm that it makes the listeners want to go to a grave site and say ‘thank you’ to the deceased soldiers. In Princeton, we can do just that. And on Memorial Day, I did. “Princeton is an ideal site to remember and honor those American veterans who gave their all to defend our Nation. . . to secure our freedom,” said Traubel in his comments at the Spirit of Princeton Memorial Day ceremony. He explained that there were hundreds of Memorial Day events taking place at sites where heroes dies in war zones. “Princeton has all of those characteristics,” he said. “Soldiers fought, died and are buried here, even unknown soldiers.” Soldiers of the First American Army and Marines fought in Princeton, Jan 3, 1777, ending the

“Ten Crucial Days” that began on Christmas 1776 with crossing of the Delaware River and defeating the British Forces in Trenton. “Those “’Ten Crucial Days’ were a tipping point in the Revolutionary War, [changing the course of the war] from seemingly endless losses to winning three battles,” Traubel said. He added that the first U.S. Marine to die in combat died during the Battle of Princeton. “Princeton has Unknown Soldier Graves behind the colonnade on the far side of the Princeton Battlefield,” he said. Even though I usually drive past the battlefield every day of the year, on Monday, May 28, I did not drive past. Because of the inspiring storytelling of Bill Traubel, I parked my car and walked up to the colonnade and absorbed the sight with a much greater appreciation for its significance in my country and my life. He noted in his Memorial Day speech that there is noticeably greater value in hearing and experiencing history on the ground where it occurred. Traubel’s career as a storytelling public historian is a new chapter in his life. It began once upon a time when, as a 13-year-old, he was inspired by his father’s self-taught expertise in American history (especially historic flags) and the family’s first road trip in the family’s first car — to West Point. “My dad wanted to be a tour guide at Independence Hall, but he was rejected, because he only had a fourth-grade education,”

Storyteller William Traubel at the Spirit of Princeton Memorial Day celebration, standing next to the Colonial flag. Traubel said, noting that George Washington never went to college. At the age of 13 and a selfdescribed “juvenile delinquent,” Traubel, who had inherited his dad’s passion for American history, was transformed by the tour of West Point and made up his mind that he would attend school there. And the rest is history. He graduated from West Point, became U.S. Army En-

gineer Officer, got advanced degrees in mathematics and engineering from Princeton University, rose through the ranks of the U.S. Army with worldwide assignments in command staff, construction, and facilities engineering. When he retired as a lieutenant colonel, he began his second career in facilities engineering. When he retired from Princeton in 2009 as director of

Princeton University’s Grounds and Building Maintenance, he began his third career — this time the only compensation being pure joy. Since retiring from Princeton in 2009, Traubel has fed his appetite for American Revolution history by serving as a trustee at Washington Crossing Park Association, a docent at Washington Crossing Historic Park, and a steward of the Revolutionary War Soldiers Graves at the Thompson Neely Historic Site. He is a founding member of the TenCrucialDays.org, dedicated to promoting the sites and venue of the Ten Crucial Days Campaign of 1776-1777, and is a member of the Swan Historical Foundation, whose mission is to encourage knowledge and appreciation of the American Revolution for the benefit of present and future generations. Standing on the steps of Princeton’s Monument Hall, Traubel — who has five grandchildren — gave my granddaughter Lily and me a tutorial in the Colonial flag, which he brought to the ceremony. The flag is the one that the Revolutionary War forces fought under, before America became a nation. “George Washington created the first American flag — he created and flew it on New Year’s Day 1776, when Americans were still British subjects seeking peace, not war. . . . Hence the British Union Jack,” Traubel said. “Washington used the all-red British flag, which included the See LOOSE ENDS, Page 11B

The Week of Friday, June 1, 2018T

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum, M.D.

Tips for encouraging healthy habits in children Encouraging healthy habits in children is one of the most important jobs for a parent — and typically one of the most challenging. Getting kids to eat healthy and get moving is often easier said than done, especially with the increasing use of computers, smart phones and tablets. So what’s a parent to

do? Start with these tips. Portion it out. In general, portion sizes should be “child-sized” until adolescence. Meals should include a protein and a variety of fruits and vegetables. A colorful plate is a healthy plate. Follow the 15-minute rule. It takes at least 15

minutes for the brain to catch up with the stomach and realize you’re full. Encourage your child to wait 15 minutes before going back for seconds, and if they do, make sure they include an extra helping of fruits and vegetables too. Remember sweets are treats. Even Cookie Monster knows that a cookie is a “sometimes” food. Sweets and sugary desserts should be considered treats to be enjoyed occasionally, not every day. Snacks should be healthy and include choices like fruit, nuts and vegetables. Also keep in mind that sports drinks and fruit juices can be loaded with sugar and empty calories. Ideally, children should mostly drink water and low-fat or fat-free milk. Control screen time. Limit screen time to onehour periods and designate media-free family time and media-free locations, such as bedrooms, in homes. Screen time before bed can interfere with a healthy sleep. In addition, too much screen time can increase the risk for obesity, negatively impact school performance and increase the risk for cyberbullying and exploitation. Make fitness fun. Children need at least 60 minutes of exercise a day, including both aerobic and strengthening activities,

Set small goals. If your child would rather lounge on the couch than run around outside, start out slowly. Gradually introduce physical activity into their regular routine, setting, small achievable goals each week.

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum

according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Organized sports provide one of the easiest ways for kids to get their exercise, but not every child wants to play a team sport. Make fitness fun by finding an activity your child enjoys. Activities like dancing, skiing or even simply hiking through the woods are all great exercise. Make it a family affair. Engaging in activities as a family can be good for your kids and you. Take a walk together after dinner, go for a Saturday morning jog or bike ride. Involve children in the kitchen, too. Allowing them to participate in meal planning, shopping and preparation will help them learn healthy habits.

Know when to say lights out. Adequate sleep is just as important as a healthy diet and physical activity. In general, toddlers need 12 hours of shuteye a night, elementary and middle school children need between 9 and 10, and high schoolers need at least 8. Establishing a bedtime routine, especially for younger children is critical to healthy sleep. Restrict electronics in the bedroom at night and do not allow a TV or computer in the room. Keep the bedroom cool, dark and quiet, and begin winding down at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Kids Marathon One fun and easy way for children to get moving is by signing up for the 10th Annual Kids Marathon & Fun Run hosted by Penn Medicine Princeton Health Community Wellness and Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center. The marathon consists of a 10-week training program in which kids in grades Pre-K through 8 walk, run or roll 2.5 miles a week at their own pace

and then gather on race day complete with a 1.2mile Fun Run, the final leg of the Kids Marathon. Participants receive incentive prizes for every milestone completed. Though training for the Marathon is already underway, children in grades Pre-K through 8 can still register. Race day is on June 24 at Educational Testing Service, 660 Rosedale Road, Princeton and starts at 10 a.m. Music, face painting, kids crafts, and other festivities will take place after the race. Refreshments will also be available. Parental permission is required. The cost is $25 for the Kids Marathon, and $20 for the Fun Run only. Proceeds benefit Princeton Health’s programs to promote wellness and prevent obesity and chronic disease in children. If cost is U a factor, eligible children H can receive free scholar- o o ships.

Continued from Page 9B Union Jack as you see it. He had white stripes sewn on it to show the solidarity of the 13 colonies.” It was, however, a sweet but somber moment for me, because I was standing in the spot usually occupied by legendary community volunteer Ray Wadsworth, who along with Herb Hobler, led the charge for the establishment of The Spirit of Princeton organization responsible for the re-

emergence of the Memorial Day Parade and other civic events such as the Flag Day ceremony and the Veterans’ Day ceremony. At the beginning of the ceremony, Spirit of Princeton Officer Kam Amirzafari made an announcement that Spirit of Princeton Chairperson Ray Wadsworth was very sick and this year missed participating in the event that meant so much to him. For years Wadsworth used the powers of prayer

to arrange for good parade weather. All those who worked with Wadsworth over the years on the town’s civic events were hoping that the powers of prayer would result in a good outcome for him. Wadsworth , who would have reveled in Bill Traubel’s American Revolution storytelling, was never into telling stories about exemplary citizens, just being one himself.

Richard Burke REALTOR®, GRI, SRES, Broker-Sales Associate Office: 609-924-1600 | Cell: 609-529-3371

Email: rick.burke@foxroach.com | www.BurkeBringsBuyers.com

. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.

. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of

their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.

. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.

Q Q

. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.

. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
