Borough Council adopts $3.1 million municipal budget By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

The Hopewell Borough Council has adopted a $3.1 million municipal budget for 2018, an increase in spending of less than $100,000 from the 2017 budget. The budget was adopted by council members following a public hearing on May 3 and officials were satisfied with the

spending plan. Council President Sky Morehouse said it is “just doing business as cheaply as possible. We are doing business as cheaply as we can muster.” Mayor Paul Anzano said there are no major initiatives reflected in the 2018 budget. The spending plan does not reflect the addition of services, nor does it reflect a reduction in municipal services,

he said. The municipal tax rate will increase by 3 cents, from 56 cents to 59 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The owner of a home assessed at the borough average of $404,552 will pay $2,387 in municipal taxes in 2018, an increase of $122 from the 2017 municipal tax of $2,265. Municipalities rely on several sources of revenue to support the

budget, from the use of surplus funds (savings) to revenues such as licenses, fees and permits, state aid, and municipal court fines and costs. The remainder of the revenue that is needed to balance the budget is made up of a tax levy collected from residential and commercial property owners. The local tax levy for 2018 will be $1.8 million (approximately 59 percent of all revenue).

Liquor licenses and other licenses will generate $7,300. Fees and permits will generate $8,200 and the municipal court is expected to produce $25,000 in revenue. Officials will use $271,000 from surplus as revenue and receive $170,313 in state aid. Renting out the former railroad station building will generate $25,000, according to the budget.

School board approves $80.6M spending plan By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

The Hopewell Valley Regional School District Board of Education has adopted the district’s operating budget for the 2018-19 school year. Approval of the budget came following a public hearing on May 7. The 2018-19 operating budget totals $80.66 million. The district’s 2017-18 operating budget totaled $77.78 million. Administrators will raise $71.95 million in a local tax levy to support the 2018-19 operating budget. In 2017-18, the tax levy collected from residential and commercial property owners to support the operating budget was $70.71 million. The district’s total appropriations for 2018-19 are $87.6 million, which includes a total debt service payment of $6.12 million. Property owners will pay $5.44 million of the debt service payment. In all, property owners will pay $77.39 million to support the operation of the school district in the upcoming year. Superintendent of Schools Thomas Smith said the increase in the property tax levy for 201819 is 1.75 percent, which is below the state mandated 2 percent cap on the amount that can be collected in the tax levy. Smith said the budget is a planning tool that reflects the school district’s values; providing academic and extracurricular opportunities for all students, as well as long-term planning for academics and staff. “We provide an education. We don’t make widgets. We mold children,” Smith said. In outlining the budget for the school board, Smith said the biggest cost drivers in the 2018-19 budget are fixed ones - salaries and benefits. Special education, extracurricular activities, cocurricular activities, maintenance and operations, and transportation are among the other cost drivers. Smith said there is money

in the budget for a Chinese language teacher and an athletic trainer. Children who do not have a safe way to walk to school will be bused, and there is a pilot program for a “late bus” run from Timberlane Middle School and Hopewell Valley Central High School for students who stay after school for activities. Smith said he is not recommending any cuts to the budget. The superintendent said the maximum budget reductions have been made over the past two years and he said any additional budget cuts would affect programs and facilities - possibly larger class sizes, and reductions in art, music and/ or world language instruction in the elementary schools. On the revenue side, the school district receives less than 4 percent of its revenue from state aid and 1 percent in federal funds. Funds taken from the district’s surplus account (savings) will make up about 5 percent of the revenue. An additional 1 percent will be generated by miscellaneous revenue. Property taxes are apportioned among the district’s three sending municipalities - Hopewell Township, Hopewell Borough and Pennington Borough - based on enrollment. The total value of taxable properties in each town also affects the school tax rate, whether it will increase or decrease. In Hopewell Township and Hopewell Borough, the school tax rate increased because the total value of taxable properties dropped. In Pennington, the school tax rate decreased because the total value of taxable properties increased, according to district administrators. For 2018-19, the school tax rate in Hopewell Township will be $1.62 per $100 of assessed valuation. The amount represents a 4-cent increase in the tax rate from 2017-18. The average assessed value of a home is

HOPEWELL VALLEY BRIEFS Ladies Auxiliary Mother’s Day plant sale

WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR EYE TOOTH?

Normally, a tooth erupts once two-thirds of its root is formed. An impacted tooth is one that fails to erupt into the mouth within the expected time. When the upper canine teeth (popularly referred to as “eye teeth”) become impacted, it is generally due to crowding, baby teeth that do not fall out or even early loss of a baby tooth, abnormal growth of the canine tooth bud, tooth root and bone abnormalities, and/or other localized causes. Whatever the source, it’s important to diagnose and address the problem promptly so that the tooth can be surgically exposed and orthodontically aligned, allowing it to assume its normal position as close to its normal eruption time as possible. Crooked teeth and poor dental alignment can take many forms. While we help many patients with underbites, overbites, and crossbites, we also take care of patients who have impacted teeth that affect the beauty and function of their smiles. To schedule a consultation, please call the office of MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-730-1414. We use the latest technological advances in the industry, such as invisible ceramic braces and Invisalign. Our office is conveniently located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.

P.S. Canine tooth impaction is twice as common among girls as among boys and is most successful if completed before age 14.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Group calls for inclusivity To the editor: We are writing as a group to reaffirm our support of those who believe in making our community welcoming, inclusive, and fair. We will continue to champion those committed to fiscal responsibility and low municipal taxes so that Hopewell Township, its residents, and its businesses can continue to flourish. We will continue to speak in support of those who will responsibly manage growth and state-mandated affordable housing while continuing to listen and respond to the community they have been elected to serve. We have renewed our commitment to fighting for our ideals in the wake of the 2016 election and the ensuing violations of democracy at all levels of government over the past year and a half. Be assured: we will continue to speak up and fight for what is right, regardless of the attacks—personal or partisan—that come for standing up for our beliefs. We speak up for and support our Democratic mayor and committee members for one reason and one reason only: we also believe in fairness, fiscal responsibility, inclusivity, and service to the community—full stop. Courtney Peters-Manning Peter Sandford Linda Rogers Reverend Jack Belmont Hopewell Township

Not the government you deserve To the editor: In the long absence of action from the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) or from the NJ Legislature, the court has imposed upon Hopewell Township an obligation to build 653 new, affordable housing units. To build them, the township has signed an agreement with developers to build an additional 2,881 market rate homes, a new community center, and the construction of more than 100,000 square feet of new commercial property near ShopRite, approximately the size of a new Pennington Market complex. Deputy Mayor Julie Blake insists that Hopewell Township looked at every possible alternative. If readers are unaware of these alternatives, know that it is not your fault. Our local government has not listed these alternatives or explained in any meaningful way the process by which they arrived at their decisions. There were no open public hearings. Rather, the township signed its commitment last summer, well before Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Committeemember Michael Ruger campaigned on a platform of limited development. Ironically, Kuchinski and Ruger ended their campaign

with lawn signs that read: “STOP OVER-DEVELOPMENT HERE”. Events have revealed what they really meant: STOP OVER. DEVELOPMENT HERE. Mayor Kuchinski had to know at that time that their signs were deceptive advertising. Township-wide open meetings were needed to review the alternatives they claim to have considered. Instead the township proceeded without public meetings of any kind. There were two extreme positions: Should a developer build or should Hopewell Township itself build the affordable housing units? There are many possibilities in between. And where should the units be located? Behind closed doors, the township committee decided that it was better for developers to build all the units. The township decided where to place them all. They secretly signed such intent in June 2017, ceding all of our bargaining leverage. But, did they take into consideration the enormous tax, school, and environmental costs associated with building 2,881 market rate units? Did they even investigate such consequences? These costs will live on, but we will likely never know the process by which the committee made their decisions. They just want us to trust them. Open public meetings would have permitted a sharing of facts, a constructive dialogue, and a building of consensus. The only hope left for a decent process is for the state legislature to shape a more sensible approach on future affordable housing. Senate Bill 2216, an attempt at a comprehensive approach to affordable housing, was voted down in January on straight party lines. Every one of the 22 Democratic members voted no. The township committee has expressed its support for Senate Bill 2386, which if passed might lower our affordable housing quota. As John Hart has remarked, “The horse is out of the barn.” The township promises an open process moving forward, but, as the saying might continue: that’s like closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped. Cheryl Edwards Hopewell Township

A reward for Hopewell Township’s future To the editor: I’m Andrew Borders, and I’m no one’s political crony. I don’t appreciate the use of my name, as someone who holds no elective office, in a Letter to the Editor without my permission, nor will I let anyone else define my positions for me. But, a letter in the Hopewell Valley News following the April 23 Hopewell Township meeting to pass the annual budget called me and several of our neighbors just that: political cronies. It said that when Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Deputy Mayor Julie Blake need some “make-believe public support,” they call us up.

Make-believe? I am an actual Hopewell Township resident, every voice in our community counts as much as the letter writer’s, I write what I say when I speak at our township committee meetings, and I don’t say things I don’t believe in order to score political points. It went on to call me a “Democrat-loyalist,” and said I “will, no doubt, be rewarded in the future.” How does the letter writer know everyone I’ve voted for? But, the letter is correct that I do hope for a reward in the future, and it won’t just be a reward for me. Let me tell you about what that reward, and that future, looks like. It’s a Hopewell Township where we’ve got community spaces indoors and outdoors to spend time with our neighbors in an era when it’s far too easy to stay inside, attention focused on our phones and devices. It’s a Hopewell Township where we’ve got all sorts of places to get a great meal and watch the game or talk with family and friends without having to drive to Route 1 or some other place to spend our time and money. It’s a Hopewell Township where a greater share of our residents both live and work here because we’ve built the kind of environment that businesses are looking for today and down the line, and we can do it while keeping our rural character. It’ll help us with our tax burden, it’ll help us with sponsors for things like community events and our youth sports teams, and it’ll be a place where your kids and mine can go learn about their possible career and their parents can build their actual career without having to commute far to do it. I know our community has a wide range of opinions on what our future should look like, and that’s a dialogue we ought to have. But, it’s got to happen with civility, respect, and open-mindedness. I am a Democrat, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to learn from or don’t want to hear from Republicans or folks who are members of other parties or no party at all. I began going to our township meetings in January when I’d received one too many Trenton Water Works notices and wanted to know what we could do about it. I should have been engaged earlier. But, I saw our government in action, and I came back. I speak regularly at the meetings to advocate for the kind of community I described and to respond when I hear things that don’t sit well with me. If I have the opportunity to serve our community on some of our boards or committees, I will listen, I will learn, and even if we don’t end up agreeing, I will treat everyone with respect. Thanks for reading, and, regardless of political persuasion, I hope you’ll get involved like I have and let your voice be heard. We’ll be living our future together, as a community, so let’s create it together. Andrew Borders Hopewell Township

Lawrence A. “Larry” Rothwell, 92

Michael Emro, 56

Legendary PENNINGTON businessman and Pennington Quality Market owner Lawrence A. “Larry” Rothwell, 92, passed away peacefully at his home in Washington Crossing, PA Saturday, May 5.

Michael Emro, 56, of Pennington, NJ died unexpectedly on Wednesday May 2, 2018, at Capital Health’s Hopewell Campus. Born in Princeton, Michael was a life-long resident of Hopewell Township.

Known for his generosity and community support, Mr. Rothwell purchased the market in 1981 and guided its success for more than 37 years. He grew the local business into one of the top independent supermarkets in the industry, in an age of corporate mega stores. Born in Philadelphia, December 3, 1925, Larry was the youngest of 6 brothers. He also had 2 sisters including a twin Marion Cason. He was a veteran of the Navy during WW2 having served as a communications officer in Cape May NJ and Miami FL. Mr. Rothwell spent his entire professional career in the food trades, starting as a salesman for the William Montgomery Company Philadelphia PA., which was acquired by Thriftway Foods King of Prussia PA, where he became Vice President. Thriftway was later acquired by The Fleming Company, where he also served as Vice President before leaving to buy the Pennington Quality Market. He will always be remembered as a generous benefactor for a long list of Hopewell Valley organizations. In fact, on the day he passed, PQM as it is known locally was hosting a fund raising event for the Hopewell Valley Education Foundation. Larry’s legacy, in addition to his infectious wit, colorful sportcoats, and commitment to customer service, was a deep and heartfelt dedication to his community and his faith. Larry created the “PQM Vs Cancer” Day in honor of his beloved first wife Mary who died of breast cancer. The annual event has raised over$200,000 for the American Cancer Society. In addition the Market’s “Hope is in the Bag” promotion has raised over $15,000 for the Capital Health Comprehensive Breast Care Program. He was a member of the Board of Directors of many notable organizations including, the Food Marketing Institute, N.J. Food Council, and Trenton Rotary. He was past President of the Pennington Business and Professional Association and served on the Finance Committee of St. George Catholic Church, Titusville. He was also a founder of the St. Joseph’s University Academy of Food Marketing, from which thousands of industry executives have graduated.

Michael was a connoisseur of life. He loved people, travel, laughter, fly fishing, skiing, the beach, and Porsche club racing. He enjoyed feeding a crowd at his home and entertaining friends and family with the best stories. As the proprietor of Michael Emro Painting Inc, he was committed to continually developing his craft and learning new techniques to preserve, restore and beautify homes, churches and businesses in the tri-state area. Michael is pre-deceased by his father John Emro and his sister Wendy Frasca McQuaide. He is survived by his mother Patricia Borden, brother Mark Frasca (Joanne), sister Suzy Emro Beck (Louis) and six nieces and nephews who thought the world of Uncle Michael. His family would like to thank the NJ Sharing Network, the gift of giving life through organ donation, for their tireless compassion and support at the end of Michael’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Wildlife Center Friends, PO Box 161 Titusville, NJ 08560 A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are by the Wilson-Apple Funeral Home, 2560 Pennington Road, Pennington. Condolences are welcome at www.wilsonapple.com. Obituaries

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

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

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

STAGE REVIEW by Anthony Stoeckert

‘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

STAGE REVIEWS

‘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.

IN CONCERT by Anthony Stoeckert

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

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

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. David B. Cohn, M.D., is board certified in critical care medicine, internal medicine, pulmonary disease and sleep medicine.

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.
