Township officials select Shawn Lipani to fill vacant seat By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

More than a month after Greg Burchette resigned from the Hillsborough Township Committee, officials announced the appointment of Shawn Lipani to fill the vacant seat on the governing body. During the Aug. 14 meeting, former state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli swore Lipani in as the newest Republican member of the committee. “I’m honored and it’s always humbling to be selected to fill a

position like this,” Lipani said. “This is something that I’ve kind of looked toward for the last 15 years as I’ve been serving behind the scenes on different boards and commissions. To achieve this, even on a temporary basis, its still humbling..” Last month, the Republican party selected Lipani, Ron Skobo and Hillsborough Republican Party Vice Chair Helen Haines as potential candidates to serve out the remainder of Burchette’s term, which was set to finish at the end of the year. Following the committee’s

announcement, Haines, said she was confident that the choice will be a benefit to the township. “I couldn’t be prouder or happier for [Lipani] and the township,” she said. “I think it’s great - I think either Shawn or Ron would have been equally good.” Haines, who had been selected to fill a vacancy in the committee once already in the 90s, said she was thrilled to see “new blood” on the committee for the time being. “I think both Shawn and Ron are elected, it will bring diverse backgrounds that will be very

helpful for the township,” she said. Lipani is a life-long Hillsborough resident and small business owner who currently serves as the chairman of the township’s Planning Board. He’s also served as a member of the Hillsborough Economic Development Board, the Hillsborough Township Zoning Board of Adjustment, the Capital Planning Board, Hillsborough Rotary and the Youth Services Commission. With less than three months on the committee ahead of him, Lipani said he was ready to “get

my thoughts and opinions into the mix in a more prominent position.” “I know it’s short term…what I look to do until the election is to continue the good work that the committee has done already, add my input where it fits and provide my knowledge as a homeowner, a kid who grew up here and a small business owner,” he said. “I’m not looking to rock the board too much…but I do anticipate fully engrossing myself into what’s going on in the town.”

Fire company welcomes new truck with dedication ceremony By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

Earlier this month, members of the Hillsborough Township Volunteer Fire Company No. 2 Tower 37 were joined by the general public for an event that generally only takes place once every two decades - the introduction and dedication of a new fire truck. Coming with a $1.3 million price tag that had been previously budgeted by the Hillsborough Township Board of Fire Commissioners, the new tower ladder apparatus was front and center on August 11. “The dedication of this truck was almost like the combination of a baby shower and a homecoming,” Lieutenant Rob Clougher said. “This new, beautiful piece of equipment will protect our fire fighters and protect the community.” The new truck boasts a 100 foot ladder, an internal pump to draw water from fire hydrants and an internal 200 gallon water tank, among a litany of other modern features. “We’re essentially upgrading our equipment to the new, latest and greatest technology - not only does it involve tech, but it includes a lot of great safety features that the old apparatus didn’t have,” Clougher said. “This thing is even beyond what he had with some of our newer apparatus from as recent as 2007.” For the last two years, Clougher said the design and eventual purchase of the new truck has been a major project for the fire company. Since February 2016, officials have been working with Wisconsin-based Pierce Manu-

lations. When choosing which features the new truck would have, Clougher said the fire company and its members “really dug into what it was that we wanted this truck to do.” All the board of fire commissioners required, he said, was that the company was replacing a ladder truck with another one of the same type. In addition to the tall ladder and internal systems, officials said the new truck features the largest bucket at the end of the ladder available to allow for multiple people to be in it at once. Dur-

ing a rescue operation, Clougher said, a larger bucket would make it easier to help people get down to safety. The truck also sports new features that allow it to navigate

some of the township’s tougher roadways, given its size. “For us in Hillsborough, being that we’re changing from this big rural farmland area into more

Murphy, legislators pay tribute to late state representative By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Former state Sen. William E. Schluter, 90, a Republican lawmaker for parts of five decades, died on Aug. 6. Schluter, who lived in Pennington, served in the state As-

sembly beginning in the late 1960s and then laterin the state Senate, until 2002, representing Mercer, Hunterdon and Warren counties. During his time in office, he sought to clean up government in the state. Among his legislative accomplishments was sponsoring a bill in the 1970s to create the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC). Speaking in 2013 at the 40th anniversary of the commission, Schluter recalled the “tortuous path” the bill took to become law. He said he did not think he could get the measure passed nowadays “because, today, legislative leadership is so powerful that they have the veto power … of any legislation.” He shared how back in the early 1970s, lawmakers could form “alliances” with their colleagues “and try and get some-

thing through in a traditional way.” Schluter was an independent candidate for governor in 2001, running against his party’s nominee, Bret Schundler, but he received minimal support in the general election. More recently, he wrote a book, “Soft Corruption: How Unethical Conduct ‚Ä®Undermines Good Government and What to Do About It,” published last year. In a talk on March 7, 2017 at Rutgers University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics, he defined soft corruption as “unethical conduct of lawmakers and political leaders, which, while not illegal and not violating any laws, is harmful and undermines the delivery of good government to the people.” Schluter’s death prompted tributes across the political aisle from those recalling him as a fighter who could work with

Democrats. “A tireless advocate for ethics and good governance, and for campaign finance laws that protect the integrity of our elections, he was never afraid to take on the politically tough fights,” said Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, in a statement. “The greatest tribute those of us in public office can pay is to seek to live up to his example.” U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Hunterdon, Essex, Morris, Somerset, Union and Warren) represented the same legislative district as Schluter when the two men were state lawmakers. He said he had “lost a close friend and political mentor.” “Bill Schluter epitomized public service in New Jersey,” Lance said. “A person of impeccable integrity, he significantly raised the ethical standards of our state Legislature.

player in his youth at Exeter and Princeton, he was the consummate gentlemen on the playing field of life.” In his remarks at the ELEC anniversary, Schluter recalled the give and take of getting the legislation passed, a bill that went through 12 versions. Compromise, he said, “is a two-edged sword.” “You compromise on small things that don’t really matter as far as principle is concerned,” he said. “But you don’t compromise on principle.” Schluter was defeated in his re-election bid for the state Senate in 1973 by Anne Martindell, amid a voter backlash against Watergate. “Bill was a gentleman and I think they probably got a long personally fairly well,” said Mar-

According to officials, the board of fire commissioners opted to go through a local co-op of emergency services from nearby municipalities that have prenegotiated prices with vendors, rather than go out for multiple bids. Clougher said that decision ultimately saved taxpayers in the long run, since the commissioners budgeted for the new apparatus. The commissioners put down a $500,000 deposit and then set up a two payment system that hadn’t begun repayment until the truck was received and checked for proper functionality by the fire company. To further reduce the cost of the truck, Clougher said the old apparatus it was replacing was sold to another nearby agency. “We’re just ecstatic

about the fact that our commissioners have been great with allowing us to make the decisions that we want,” he said. “We can’t thank them enough for their foresight in budgeting for this apparatus.” Though last Saturday was its official coming out party, Clougher said the new truck has already been out on several calls, with its first bit of action stemming from a smoke condition at a residence on Falcon Road on July 31. “[The truck] wasn’t needed, but it was exciting that its first call could have been something that was significant where the ladder could have come in handy,” he said. “It’s a good thing for the homeowners that it wasn’t the case, but that was a fun time to take the ladder out on its first official call.”

the Hillsborough residency requirement to be a committeeman in this town.” The news came months after he and fellow Republican Carl Suraci did not file to run in the June primaries to retain their seats this November.

To that end, the Republicans are putting Lipani and Skobo as their ticket for this year’s race for the two committee seats up for grabs this November. They are opposed by Democrats Jeffrey A. Wright and Olivia Holmes.

Dedication compact housing, all ladder trucks have a lot of difficulty traversing the tighter spaces,” Clougher said. “The newer features on this ladder truck will allow it to maneuver in and out of the tighter streets.” After finalizing the details in 2017, the fire company didn’t receive the final product until May 26. From then until the end of July, fire fighters were tasked with getting acclimated to the new vehicle. “There’s so many aspects of this truck that are beyond what we were dealing with before that we needed extensive training in order to ensure that our members are safe, they know understand the capabilities of this vehicle and to make sure we’re getting the maximum efficiency out of it,” Clougher said.

The documentary “A Shot In the Dark” follows St. John Vianney High School senior Anthony Ferraro on his quest to become the first blind wrestling state champion.

‘A Shot In the Dark’ premieres at the Monmouth Film Festival

Shot In the Dark,” premiered at the Monmouth Film Festival on Aug. 10 at the Two River Theatre in Red Bank. “A Shot in The Dark” is a documentary following a St. John Vianney High School senior, Anthony Ferraro, while he hopes to become the first blind wrestling state champion. Filmed throughout the 2012-13 school year, Anthony was approached by his older brother, Oliver, who had the idea to track his brother’s story and show everyone about defying hardship. Anthony agreed and was then followed by cameras for most of his senior year at the high school, which is located in Holmdel. “It helped being blind,” Anthony said. “It really came down to my brother. He saw that this is not just a wrestling story; it’s more than that. It’s about not giving up and just dealing with adversity that you will always be given in life. I was just for-

tunate that my story was captured because everyone has a story to share.” Coached by Pat Smith and Tony Caravella (former outstanding head coach at Brick Memorial High School), Anthony went on to secure 122 career victories at St. John Vianney. He won two district tournament titles during his career. The film was thought of and initially directed by Oliver Ferraro, but when he needed funding and filming materials, it seemed like fate was at work when he met director Chris Suchorsky. Suchorsky wrestled with Smith at Seton Hall University. They both ended up becoming wrestling coaches at opposing high schools in the same district following their time together in college. But when Suchorsky realized he didn’t want to be a coach anymore, he lost touch with Smith.

COVER STORY

‘Oklahoma!’ at Music Mountain Theatre

klahoma!,” Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first musical, was brought to Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville, where audiences were met with a musical and entertaining evening from director Michael Moeller. Taking place in 1906 in the title setting, cowboy Curly McLain (Harrison Pharamond) wonders onto the farm of Laurey Williams (Kristen VonWachenfeldt) in hopes of taking her to the box social dance that evening. Local women attending the dance will bring picnic baskets to be auctioned off to men throughout the town to raise money for a local schoolhouse. The men who win the auction for the picnic baskets also win a lunch date with the women who prepared it. Pharamond opens the musical with “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’.” Pharamond does not project enough, like other musical numbers throughout the production, but makes up for it with his acting. Throughout the entire production, Pharamond has you believe in his character fully and truly embodies an early 20th-century cowboy. When Curly arrives to the farm in hopes of courting Laurey, he is met by Laurey’s loveable Aunt Eller (Joan Hoffman). The two exchange a humorous banter until Laurey makes her entrance onstage. VonWachenfeldt, who dazzles with her lovely singing voice throughout the entire production, plays the young and hopeful farm girl who turns down Curly’s proposition to the box social after she feels that he has waited too long to ask her. Curly tells Laurey he has gotten the nicest carriage money can buy and the two break out into song with Aunt Eller (“The Surrey with the Fringe on Top”). But when Laurey keeps egging on Curly about the carriage, he claims he made the entire thing up. She exits the stage with the offer for the date to the box social still declined, not knowing Curly did, in fact, rent the car-

The farm hand Jud Fry (Karl Weigand), who is disturbingly obsessed with Laurey, asks her to the box social following those events. Laurey agrees to spite Curly, even though she is utterly terrified of Jud - which she admits to Aunt Eller later. In the interim, cowboy Will Parker (Matthew Robertson) returns from his trip from Kansas City. While away, Will won $50 from a competition at a fair. This is the same amount of money his girlfriend’s father, Andrew Carnes (Roger Madding), claimed he needed to obtain to marry his daughter, Ado Annie (Jaime Gedders). Little does Will know, Ado Annie has been seeing Ali Hakim (Rhett Commodaro), a Persian peddler, who seems to only be interested in one thing, but Ado Annie wants more. She confesses to Laurey she has feelings for both men. But after Andrew Carnes discovers his daughter with Ali Hakim, he forces him at gunpoint to

agree to marry Ado Annie. Back on Aunt Eller’s farm, Curly confirms Laurey is going to the box social with Jud. Trying to convince her to leave Jud in the wayside and go to the dance with him, Laurey continues to fear Jud and tells Curly she can’t break off the promised date. Curly, who refuses to take no as an answer, goes to Jud in the smoke house, where he resides, to try and convince him himself to back off Laurey. Curly tries to convince Jud to kill himself so everyone will realize how much they care about him. The conversation between the two of them eventually turns to Laurey and it becomes ugly. Curly leaves and Jud makes a promise to himself to make Laurey his bride. He breaks out into “Lonely Room,” and it was my personal favorite of the entire production. Weigand’s portrayal of Jud was the best part of the musical. He not only flawlessly portrays a mentally challenged, terrifying

and hulking farm hand, but Weigand has a tremendous singing voice, as well. He was truly the highlight of the production. After becoming confused with who she should take to the dance, Laurey purchases smelling salts from the Persian peddler Ali Hakim, who claims they come from ancient Egypt and anyone who smells them will be able to decide what choice they should make when faced with a tough decision. Laurey smells the salts before the dance and immediately falls asleep. In a dream sequence that begins with Laurey about to marry Curly, it quickly takes a dark turn when Jud appears and kills Curly. Jud drags Laurey off to a strip club and forces her to work with the rest of the dancers. When trying to escape, Jud will not let her go and forces himself upon her, pinning her down onto the floor. Laurey wakes up and is now sure Curly is the right man for her. But as the curtain closes on the first act, Jud arrives to escort Laurey off to the box social.

Honorable Mention

Deven Byrnes, the choreographer of the production, makes the musical just mesmerizing. Every dance number was completely in sync and the entire dream sequence was a wonderful ballet performance where you just could not look away. Music Mountain Theatre’s “Oklahoma!” would not be authentic without Byrnes. “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!,” continues at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179 Lambertsville, through Aug. 19.

The Amish Outlaws perform at the Middlesex County Fair on August 8.

Amish Outlaws perform at the Middlesex County Fair T he Amish Outlaws performed its wide range of music to the crowd at the Middlesex County Fair in East Brunswick on Aug. 8. The band, which just celebrated its 15th anniversary this July, performs music of various types - from Johnny Cash to Snoop Dogg. The Amish Outlaws love to surprise their audiences with what they will play next. The band began after four of the original members left the Amish lifestyle in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Amish practice a tradition called Rumspringa, where on a person’s 16th birthday, they have the opportunity to go out and live free of the Amish code and experience the “common” world. After concluding your Rumspringa, members decide if they want to return to their Amish lifestyle and be baptized into the Amish church. Most members return to the Amish way, but in some cases, they do not. “There’s a lot of reasons that I left be-

hind that kind of lifestyle,” Brother Eazy Ezekiel, the band’s bass player said. “The ultimate one is that the Amish believe, like a lot of religions do, that their way is the only way into Heaven. That anyone not born and raised Amish is basically condemned. When I met our drummer, Jakob (he’s one of my best friends and he’s Jewish), I just couldn’t believe that him and a lot of the good people who I met out here were going to go to Hell. It didn’t make sense to me; I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Even though that they were honest, loving and loyal, but because they were born into a different group they were going to be condemned. That was the ultimate straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Once I came out and made all these friends and saw the way that life was out here, I couldn’t close those blinders and go back into that world.” Like Ezekiel, his friend and former member of the Amish lifestyle, Amos Def, had the same feelings after leaving behind See AMISH OUTLAWS, Page 7B

Documentary Continued from Page 2B About 10 years later, the two reconnected on Facebook and Smith sent a video of Anthony wrestling to Suchorsky. Across the bottom of the video was a caption from Oliver Ferraro saying he wanted to make a film about Anthony and needed help producing. “I contacted Ollie. He was living out in California at the time,” Suchorsky said. “A few weeks later, Ollie came back and we basically decided that we would make a film following Anthony through his senior year trying to accomplish his goals.” Following the filming of the documentary, Oliver Ferraro, who had just moved back to New Jersey from California, passed away. But his vision lives on through his film about his brother. “My brother’s vision, as well as my vision, through this was just to help people and inspire and motivate people,” Anthony said. “It wasn’t about becoming the next state champion. That would have been unbelievable, but this is just reality. If it motivates just one person to get up and stop feeling sorry for yourself, it’s a win.” Anthony’s parents welcomed him wanting to wrestle. His mother, Sue, thought it provided him with more and felt it was a way for Anthony to act like the average teenager. “To watch him wrestle, it made me happy,” Sue said. “He was doing something. He had a goal, he was healthy. What didn’t make me happy was the pressure that I saw he had to endure. I think it was associated with the sport, as well as emotionally dealing with his visual impairment and trying to be just a normal kid at 16 years old. But wrestling was very healthy, and I think it was good discipline and it gave him the sense of accomplishment. Everyone needs that.” Anthony’s father, Robert, agreed. But he made sure to give credit, where credit was due. “It was really never hard to watch him wrestle,” Robert said. “Sue really deserves a lot of the credit because Sue’s pretty tough. I was the enabler; Sue was the tough one. Anthony’s success really comes from Sue because she has always said from the

beginning, ‘I raised my kids to fly the coop, and this one is going to fly the coop.’” Anthony always made sure to define the odds, and that was how he originally started to wrestle. “I was the type of kid when someone told me that I couldn’t do something, I said, ‘Watch me,’” Anthony said. “I just do things because I’m so stubborn and I don’t want people to tell me that I can’t. When people started saying that ‘You can’t wrestle’ - I was a really fat seventh grader, but I was going to figure it out. It gave me that drive.” Eventually Anthony did not become the first blind wrestling state champion, but he can’t say he didn’t learn anything along the way. “Losses don’t define you if you don’t let them,” Anthony said. “It’s how you bounce back from each loss and what you’ve learned from it. If you don’t take a lesson from each loss, it’s just a waste. If you take a lesson from each loss, you’ll learn from it as a person. We keep growing no matter what we’re doing.” Now, five years following Anthony’s completion of high school, he loves to play music, does work as a motivational speaker and is currently training for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, where he is learning a new craft in judo wrestling. “I learned one thing that has always stood out to me,” Anthony said. “The only disability is a bad attitude.”

It wasn’t so much as leaving as it was not returning.” But Ezekiel did make sure to point out there was nothing immoral with the Amish way of life. “The Amish lifestyle is great in a lot of ways, but ultimately it wasn’t for me,” Ezekiel said. Of the four original members of the band, three of them still play. Brothers Amos, Ezekiel and Hezekiah, who were all brought up Amish, met the band’s drummer Jakob after leaving the Amish lifestyle. Now the four of them are joined by Brothers Wyclef and Abel. “Amos and I grew up together,”

Ezekiel said. “He left after I did, and we met Hezekiah out here. Jakob, our drummer, he is the first ‘English’ friend I made, or non-Amish person. We started playing music together. Somewhere down the line I just thought that we should start a band together, and four of us being born and raised Amish, I thought that we should be called, ‘The Amish Outlaws.’ I wanted to embrace the way we grew up and how crazy life is out here.” Ezekiel, who had only heard snippets of nonsecular music before leaving the Amish lifestyle, was surprised to see what music had made him feel when he really started listening. “It was when I heard, ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd and ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ by The Beatles did music take on a new meaning to me,” he said. “I started off playing tuba, but it was way too heavy for me; so I

switched to bass. Honestly, I’m a bigger fan of listening to music than I am playing it. I do love playing it, but I just love music and the more I can be involved with it in my life the better.” The Amish Outlaws enjoy performing, but what the band members enjoy more is the people they encounter throughout their touring. “I have had a lot of bad jobs in my life and this isn’t one of them,” Ezekiel said. “It’s nice. We’re all friends, we get along, and my favorite thing about being out here and playing music is all the people we see out here and get to meet. We have people who come to see us three different times a week, and we become close friends. We don’t even consider them fans, we call them family.” For more information on The Amish Outlaws, check out their website: amishoutlaws.com.

ENTERTAINMENT BEST BETS

By Paul Hall

ummer movie season can be a whole heck of a lot of fun. As filmgoers, we are treated to the biggest stars, the biggest explosions and the most fun — sometimes all in the same movie. The Meg from director Jon Turteltaub and Warner Bros. presents us with some ridiculous throwback fun on a grand level. What if the bottom of the ocean as we know it today is not really the bottom of the ocean? That’s exactly what researchers aboard the Mana One are trying to figure out. When an expedition heads down and breaks through the layer of gasses underwater, it reveals another world teeming with creatures long thought extinct. Little could the crew know the danger that was waiting there. One of the creatures that quickly makes contact is a Megalodon, an ancient shark thought to be the largest that ever existed. Presumed extinct, it is a predator that fears nothing and can inflict damage on anything moving that threatens its personal

space. Only one man has ever traveled to these depths and confronted a Meg: Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham). To convince him to help the crew being terrorized below the surface might be impossible, but with this beast on the loose, it just may offer the perfect redemption for Jonas. Let’s be honest, The Meg is never going to win any awards for the best film of the year. There are moments that are closer to Sharknado than Jaws. But the combination of aspects of both makes for a fun, albeit ridiculous, adventure. Statham in the lead role brings a mixture of attitude and bravado that is necessary for his character. And yet, he never feels like he is taking his role too seriously. Heck, he’s fighting a giant shark that was thought to be extinct. Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) as an eccentric billionaire brings a humorous element to the film with his wisecracking nature. In fact, all of the characters take themselves just seriously enough to make the tension-filled sequences feel authentic. And it’s that authenticity which allows The

Meg to traverse the border of the ridiculous with style. A throwback to days gone by and a genre that rarely gets to perform on this level, the big budget keeps the effects just cheesy enough to be fun. I really had a good time with The Meg, though I’m not planning on going in the water any time soon. This great end-ofsummer addition is a fun ride for all the right reasons and begs to be seen in the

biggest and loudest theater you can find to feel its impact. Take a bite of The Meg‘s ridiculous fun — you’ll be glad you did. Paul’s Grade: BThe Meg Rated PG-13 Stars: Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson Director: Jon Turteltaub

Pam Hersh

Princeton sings praises of ‘Joint Effort’

he little elderly Jewish lady (yours truly), renowned in Princeton for her hats, put on one of her favorite “crowns” to go to church on Aug. 5. The visit that Sunday was to the First Baptist Church of Princeton. My purpose was not to commune with God, but rather to commune with my neighbors participating in a “Joint Effort Princeton Witherspoon-Jackson Community Safe Streets” event, an event that was hosted by a Princeton favorite son, John Bailey. Although I always had connected intellectually with the mission of the John Bailey’s “Joint Effort” summer program, my emotional, perhaps spiritual, conversion occurred as I was sitting – actually standing, shouting, and clapping – in the congregation. The pulsating and soulstirring music, plus the unrestrained joy of the people all around me, hit a chord in a way that no spoken words from a podium had done for me previously. Political consultant John Bailey, who spent his youth in Princeton, feels an unbreakable bond to Princeton’s Witherspoon-Jackson community that embraced and nurtured his family (divorced mother with five children) in the late 50s and 60s.

Based in Denver, Colorado, Mr. Bailey takes his “vacation” every summer by coming back to Princeton and giving back by producing a variety of events (youth basketball clinics, lectures, concerts, citizen awards ceremonies) over the course of 10 days. His goal is to celebrate the Witherspoon-Jackson residents who represent the culture and history and potential of Princeton’s historic black neighborhood, where I now have the honor of living. Knowing how much I adore music, Princeton Councilman Lance Liverman – who is chair of the Trustee Board of the First Baptist Church of Princeton, urged me to attend the Witherspoon-Jackson Community Gospel Fest – Stories of Black Voices Through Music and Songs. I sat in the last row of the church, closed my eyes, and pictured a different Jewish individual – a young composer from Brooklyn named George Gershwin, who attended a black Baptist Church in Folly Beach, South Carolina. His experience in the church led to his inspired creation of the brilliant score of Porgy and Bess. I share none of Gershwin’s genius, but I do share his connection to the highly charged, emotional, gospel music, punctuated with shouts and clapping of hands.

Even though I entered the sanctuary feeling a little tentative about being an interloper, my presence was embraced with the same warmth and welcome experienced by John Bailey when his family first came to town. No one cared about my skin color, my religious beliefs or my political beliefs – just about my ability to absorb joy with unfiltered gusto. The music exorcised chronic angst out of me, and, as a result, a grin replaced my anxious frown for the entire one-hour program. One of the performers at the music festival was keyboard player Samuel Frisby, executive director of the Trenton YMCA and longtime Mercer County freeholder. The music, which means so much to him and his family personally, also helps him do his professional jobs as an administrator and elected official, because the music, he said, is cleansing, restorative, loving and positive. Lance Liverman, like everyone in the congregation, became enveloped by the joyful music. He echoed Sam Frisby’s comments and added that the music conveys the spirit of love that “can be transformative –moves you to go forward in a better direction. People who are not part of the Baptist tradition have told me they want to have their funeral in our church because of the music of our Unity Choir.” The euphoria from the music, however, is transitory, even for Lance, who has been attending services at the church for nearly half a century. As a trustee board leader for two decades, Lance is concerned about the future of his church and the other predominantly black churches in the neighborhood. “Our church – all the churches in the neighborhood – are such a crucial part of our heritage, we can’t let them go away, but congregations are shrinking,” he said. Fortyseven years ago when Lance, at the age of eight, initially began attending First Baptist, the number of active congregants were nearly three times what they are today. Last year when John Bailey’ s summertime program honored the black churches in town, Lance remarked that “the history of …the black churches are stories of faith,

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B leadership, and community service and need to be told to current and future generations,” he said. “Sure, we can declare the buildings historic, but the beauty of what goes on inside those churches is what needs to be preserved. The churches have been key to the survival of the black residents in this town and key to keeping the culture and the history of the neighborhood alive. John Bailey’s efforts are heroic and so important, but he is here for only 10 days. We need to work on this all year long,” said Lance. Lance has ensured the fiscal stability of the church by guiding the church to purchase income-producing rental properties in the neighborhood as an investment. Even if the church stays on solid fiscal ground, Lance worries about losing more congregants who make it possible for the church to offer programs to feed and clothe the poor, connect people to their heritage – and relieve angst of a handful non-Baptists transformed by the its soulful music.

By ReMIND Magazine

he classic San Francisco car chase scene in the movie Bullitt featured Steve McQueen driving a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, affectionately known as the Bullitt, being tailed by a 1968 Dodge Charger. Originally, the full-sized Ford Galaxie was supposed to chase the Bullitt, but the car was too heavy for the jumps through the bumpy, mazy streets of San Fran. Made popular by the movie, the second generation Dodge Charger was introduced for wide production in 1968. Ford reintroduced the 2008 Bullitt after the Mustang’s revival in 2005. The Bullitt’s design was modified to mirror the classic ’68 shape featured in the movie. As in 1968, the car was stripped of badging, scoops and spoilers. The only location on the car boasting the name of this beast is the faux gas cap on the trunk. This limited run was only available in 2008 and 2009. Images of window stickers have been

popping up on the internet for a 2018 Mustang Bullitt, getting enthusiasts all excited; however, Ford denies the rumors. … more ’68 Muscle Pontiac GTO As the youngest division head in General Motors, John DeLorean (remember Back to the Future, anyone?) is widely known as the “father” of the Pontiac GTO. Some credit the GTO for starting the trend of muscle cars, and in ’68 the GTO was Motor Trend‘s Car of the Year. 1968 Chevy Camaro To compete with the Ford Mustang, GM launched the Chevrolet Camaro in 1967. Slight design changes to the grille and taillights were made for the 1968 Camaro. More than 220,000 1968 Camaros were made, signaling to General Motors that the public was hungry for American muscle cars.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. I love living in the Greater Princeton area! This area is blooming with culture, history and renovation, yet it is still a place where you can enjoy a quiet evening, as you would in a country estate. Princeton is also an international city. I have quite a few clients who relocated from other countries for continuing education or work, and I find joy in helping them settle in our town and feel at home as they transition from their homeland.

. Is there a certain community in the area which has become your main focus? A. I enjoy having a very versatile and expansive business throughout the area. Nonetheless, quite a bit of my focus goes to Princeton Landing. I have lived on Sayre Drive for over a decade and have sold over 300 homes there. Because my family and I call Princeton Landing our home, I am very knowledgeable about the market there. It is such a beautiful, park-like community with all of the amenities of a 5-star resort and close proximity to major roadways and Princeton Junction Train Station. Many of my clients have found their perfect home in Princeton Landing and I am happy to call them neighbors.

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. The Real Estate market in Princeton is thriving and staying consistent year-round. There is a lot of activity around the new construction projects which I am pleased to be representing. Also, there is a growing interest coming from local and international . What is your current focus is Real Estate? investors which is a great contribution to the stability of the market, A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming considering that investors are more likely to purchase during the New Construction in Princeton. It seems that quieter months in order to avoid bidding wars which are common almost every street I turn on, there is at least in Princeton. one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth. Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly of Princeton interested in new construction projects.
