Serving the Valley’s Communities and Schools Since 1956

Area officials detail future plans for their communities By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

A sense of community and business partnership were common themes during the Mayor’s Breakfast Address on Tuesday at the Hopewell Golf and Country Club. Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul Anzano, Hopewell Township Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Pennington Borough Administrator Eileen Heinze, who filled in for Mayor Anthony Persichilli, spoke to members of the public and the local business community to reflect on the work that has been done so far, and what future

plans lie ahead for Hopewell and Pennington. All three representatives touched on redevelopment plans — Hopewell Borough recently adopted a redevelopment ordinance, Anzano said, which will allow property owners to work with local government to revive the properties, so they can be used in “a much more efficient and economically, beneficial way.” Through this influence and collaborative work with local businesses, Anzano is looking forward to see how the borough will evolve further. Over the past 15 years, Anzano said he has seen the Borough

grow exponentially, with businesses “stepping up” and investing in the borough, making it a more vibrant community. “I feel lucky that I’m the mayor and have all these great tools and people working with us to really move the Borough even further forward,” he said. Heinze said that a nearly-10 acre space near East Delaware Avenue and Broemel Place, once used as the municipal landfill, is also being considered for redevelopment. “We live in a beautiful area, and we should be investing in the places that we have,” she said. “We have a committee of volun-

teers in town who are working with me and others to work on a redevelopment plan.” Additionally, Kuchinski said the redevelopment of Pennytown is in progress. With this plan, Hopewell Township hopes to strengthen current businesses in that area, as well as attract new ones. Kuchinski detailed financial improvements in Hopewell Township, as well, stating that the 2018 operating budget is 1 percent lower than it was in 2017, and — despite inflation — it’s lower than it was in 2015. In terms of taxes, Hopewell Township delivered a tax rate increase

of 1.59 percent, compared to the 6.3 percent increase the township has faced in the prior three years. He also announced a multiyear program to reduce the debt in Hopewell Township — 20 percent of the township budget goes toward paying off past purchases, he said. “I made a commitment that we’re going to stop kicking the can down the road and we’re going to reduce debt, and since 2014, we’ve cut 20 percent of the township debt and we continue to make progress each year,” he said. “Our residents and busi-

High school students to perform at International Thespian Festival By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

In just a few days, the Hopewell Valley Central High School (HVCHS) cast of “Picnic” will be boarding a plane to Lincoln, Neb., to attend and perform at the International Thespian Festival. The students became eligible for this honor back in January, when they performed a selection from their production at the New Jersey State Thespian Festival, earning them the top award of Best Chapter Select Presentation. Donovan Kazakoff, who plays Hal Carter, took home the Best Actor Award and Lily Rutman won Best Supporting Actress. Production Stage Manager Hannah Lewis will also be traveling to Nebraska, as she won a Superior Award for her documentation of stage management for “Picnic”. “Picnic”, a play written by William Inge, takes place over 24 hours in a small town in Kansas on Labor Day. The show was performed on the HVCHS Performing Arts Center stage in November. Katherine Rochon, performing arts teacher at HVCHS and the director of “Picnic”, chose this ’50s play for its powerful female leads. “The females in this show are so strongly written,” she said. “A lot of plays from this era are deranged. But not in this one; they’re all very true to life, and very smart and almost modern-feeling for a play from the ’50s. Plus the language is beautiful in this play.” HVCHS and “Picnic” will be added to a permanently displayed New Jersey Thespian plaque listing the history of New Jersey Best

Chapter Select Presentation, according to a press release. While the high school has attended thespian festivals and entered for Chapter Select in the past, this is the first time HVCHS has won the award. Rutman said she was “stoked” when she found out the school was performing the show because of its character development. “No matter what character you play, you get to explore a lot of different things,” she said. “As an actress, that’s the most exciting thing about working on new stuff. It was definitely the right show at the right time.” Since the school’s performances in November, a string of awards and nominations were presented to the cast and individual student performers. Following the New Jersey State Thespian Festival, “Picnic” won Best Dramatic Ensemble at the Montclair State Foxy Awards in May. Additionally, Madeline Carleton, who plays Millie Owens in the play, won Best Supporting Actress and Rochon was nominated for six Foxy Awards. “I was shocked, but thrilled,” Carleton said. “I put a lot of work into portraying this character because I think it’s a wonderful play.” One week later, the cast and stage managers of “Picnic” were the recipients of the 2018 New Jersey Governor’s Award in Arts Education for Best Chapter Select Play. The ceremony took place in the Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton, officials said, and See THESPIANS, Page 3A

Borough recognizes the life of late philanthropist Lawrence Rothwell By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Lawrence Rothwell was a well-known businessman and philanthropist in the Hopewell Valley who contributed to many organizations - from the American Cancer Society to the Hopewell Valley YMCA and the Hopewell Valley Education Foundation. To honor Rothwell and to acknowledge his death last month at 92 years old, Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul Anzano and the Hopewell Borough Council issued a proclamation in his honor at its meeting earlier this month.

Rothwell, who lived across the Delaware River in Washington’s Crossing, Penn., owned the Pennington Quality Market. The landmark grocery store is located in the shopping center at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Route 31. Councilman Ryan Kennedy said Rothwell’s death is a “big loss for the community. It is appropriate for us to recognize him.” “I always appreciated his jokes. We will miss him dearly,” Anzano said. Rothwell and his family’s business have served the

Hopewell Valley since 1981, when he purchased the grocery store. He had been awarded the “Industry Achievement Award” from the New Jersey Food Council, among other honors. The Hopewell Valley YMCA created the annual “Larry Rothwell Social Responsibility Award,” according to the proclamation. He was also awarded the “Hero” award by the Trenton Rotary Club. But Rothwell was also known for providing jobs for special needs students at the Pennington

HOPEWELL VALLEY BRIEFS June 22-24; June 29-July 1

STRAIGHTER TEETH, HEALTHIER GUMS, LONGER LIFE One of orthodontic treatment’s primary advantages is that it enables patients whose teeth were previously crowded, crooked, and/ or rotated to floss their teeth much more effectively in order to avert gum disease. This is no small matter in light of the fact that recent research shows that, when left unchecked, collections of bacteria-laden plaque create deep pockets between the teeth and gums. Without proper cleaning to remove daily formations of plaque, gum disease may progress from mild “gingivitis” to more severe “periodontitis.” Both of these inflammatory conditions have been linked to medical conditions such as stroke, heart disease, fatal coronary heart disease, preterm birth, diabetes, arthritis, oral cancer, and pneumonia aspiration, which pose serious risks to life. Once a patient’s teeth are permanently straightened, it becomes easier to manage his or her dental care. It is a common misconception that orthodontic treatment is just about having straighter teeth. While this is true, a good orthodontist will enhance your overall dental health. This will result in improvements in breathing, speaking, sleeping, and eating. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please call the office of MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC. at 609-730-1414. We are located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.

P.S. Not only may swollen, bleeding gums be an early sign of the need to address developing gum disease, but this symptom may also prompt patients with crowded teeth to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist.

Novitiate - The Art of Living Well Series. Spanning over a decade from the early 1950s through to the

mid-60s, NOVITIATE is about a young girl’s first initiation with love, in this case with God. Raised by a non-religious, single mother in rural Tennessee, a scholarship to Catholic school soon finds Cathleen drawn into the mystery and romanticism of a life devoted to the worship and servitude of God. With the dawn of the Vatican II era, radical changes in the Church are threating the course of nuns’ lives. As she progresses from the postulant to the novitiate stage of training, she finds her faith repeatedly confronted and challenged by the harsh, often inhumane realities of being a servant of God. Cathleen finds herself struggling with issues of faith, sexuality, and recent changes in life of the Church. Rated R for language, some sexuality and nudity.

Thespians Continued from Page 1A honored “exemplary commitment to excellence in high school arts statewide.” Kazakoff and Camille Ladendorf, who plays Madge Owens, were also selected to perform part of a scene at the ceremony. Both Kazakoff and Rutman have been involved in theater for most of their lives and have attended Stagedoor summer camps growing up, where they gathered theater expertise. “It was a pleasant surprise, it was a really awesome experience,” Kazakoff said of his New Jersey State Thespian Festival award. “I was focused on if we were going to be able to take ‘Picnic’ to Nebraska, so it was like, ‘Oh wow, this is pretty cool.’” At the International

Thespian Festival, the “Picnic” cast will be performing Act II from the production. Ladendorf said that the awards prove their “hard work is paying off.” “It’s so rewarding — not only do do such an incredible production — but to be recognized for it,” she said. “I’m really proud of everyone here and the work we’ve done.” The International Thespian Festival will take place from June 25 to June 30, and the cast is excited to perform the production one last time. Gretchen Cyriacus, who plays Christine Showenwalder, said that going to Nebraska is a big step in her theater career. “Through this process, I’ve become really close with everyone in the cast, a lot of them are upperclass-

men have have helped me through a lot,” she said. “I think, going to Nebraska with all these people is a great opportunity for me and I’m so happy I get to go with them for my first year [at the high school]. It’s inspired me in so many ways.” Along with getting the cast as many accolades as it has, many of the school’s thespians believe “Picnic” has allowed them to become closer. “Not only is it about a family, but these people became my family,” Lewis said. “Words can’t describe what it’s going to be like in Nebraska being able to do this with all of them, because they’re all wonderful people and they’re all so talented.”

businesses, restaurants and farms. “Hopewell Township and the valley already have incredible recreation resources, everything from our trail system, the Delaware River and parks and preserves such as Rosedale Park,” he said. “The key is that we can bring in more people to Hopewell Township; I think it will contribute to an even stronger community.” Kuchinski also shared plans to bring a new community and senior center to Hopewell Township — in

partnership with the Pennington and Hopewell Boroughs — which was met with applause from those in attendance. “Over the past six-tonine months, the committee has been touring other area centers and community centers,” he said. “We’re looking for ideas, how we can operate in the most efficient and smart way and what services are the most critical.” The center will feature amenities such as an indoor recreation center and an indoor pool.

The three town representatives all expressed the common goal of helping new and existing local businesses of Hopewell and Pennington succeed, all while serving the community in a positive way. Heinze said in Pennington Borough “the idea that we can keep a small downtown where people want to come and visit and experience old-fashion downtown is what our vision is, and I think the people that live in our community are very much committed to supporting that.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mammoth tax increases are coming To the editor: The Hopewell Township Committee did not undertake a long-term financial projection or study of the demographic impact of their affordable housing decisions. Let’s start such an analysis here, in the open. First, the expense side. At the April 11 meeting, Deputy Mayor Julie Blake claimed that a 100 percent development of 70 affordable homes would have cost the township $30,000,000, a number undoubtedly meant to scare away objectors. I believe that number is high, but let’s accept it here. At the June 11 meeting, the township confirmed that it had the legal authority to bond that amount within its caps. Such a project was do-able. On the other side of the ledger: inviting developers to construct those 70 affordable homes also brings 280 market-rate homes into the township. That number is exact. The proposed 280 new homes will generate tax revenue. Assumption #1: The new market-rate homes will pay on average $10,000 per year in taxes. That generates $2.8 million a year. Assumption #2: Each new, market-rate home will have 1.3 kids (or 364 new children). This important number may be much higher. The new market-rate homes will likely attract young parents excited about Hopewell Valley schools. Assumption #3: 300 of these children are of school age. Each child costs on average about $17,800 a year to educate in the local school district. If the three assumptions

above are correct, the yearly school cost of 300 children is $5.3 million. The municipal budgets will also grow. Assumption #4: Pro-rating municipal budgets for 280 additional marketrate homes with 924 inhabitants raises those budgets by 4.8 percent or approximately $1.1 million. The net inflows total $2.8 million. Outflows are $6.4 million. Total budget impact of 280 market-rate units: $3.6 million. I have not included the taxes and costs associated with the affordable units. Those are court-mandated obligations that had to be met. I have long advocated that we lower that annual financial burden by building in at least one location 100 percent affordable housing, by far the most popular option in New Jersey. These numbers suggest that it pays for itself in approximately 8 years - quicker if the construction costs are lower. Using those same four assumptions, the 2,881 market-rate homes that the township secretly negotiated will generate 9,500 people, 3,745 children, and 3,000 children of school age. The impact on local government budgets? Approximately $36 million per year. By all means, check my math. Each 100 percent affordable development of 70 units shaves $3.6 million per year off that burden. An increase of that many children will also overwhelm the schools, requiring much new building. I am not including such costs, but they would also be substantial. I have made my estimate of a $36 million per year im-

Letters Continued from Page 4A pact in good faith. The township now has some explaining to do. On June 11, the Township emphasized that it wanted to wait for their Affordable Housing Pilot program to estimate the number of school-aged children per home. That’s another way of acknowledging that they signed these developer contracts without understanding or hiring a professional to estimate the massive financial and demographic consequences of their decisions. Not the financial stewardship about which they brag. Cheryl Edwards Hopewell Township

Mayor Kuchinski and his bizarre budget claims To the editor:

It has come to my attention that Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Deputy Mayor Julie Blake apparently have each passed a different Hopewell Township budget. In its June 15, 2018 edition, the Hopewell Valley News reported (PenA nington and Hopewell Officials Detail Future Plans for Community) that at the Tuesday, June 12 Mayor’s Breakfast at the Hopewell Valley Golf and Country Club, Kuchinski said he “delivered a tax rate increase of 1.59 percent” in 2018. In its May 4 edition, the Hopewell Val-

ley News published a Letter to the Editor from Blake (I am proud of our municipal budget) in which she wrote “that our municipal budget in 2018 will be kept to a disciplined and responsible 2.48 percent increase.” Since Blake wrote that she is proud of her township budget, I can only imagine how much more proud Kuchinski must be of his township budget. But, alas, since the township chief financial officer indicated a 2.48 percent tax increase at the April 23 municipal budget public hearing, Kuchinski’s budget with a 1.59 percent tax increase is simply not true. Regarding another budget statement at the Mayor’s Breakfast, the aforementioned article reported: “Kuchinski said the redevelopment of Pennytown is in progress.” Like my grandmother’s recipe for chicken soup, which involves first catching the chicken, redevelopment of Pennytown cannot be “in progress” until Pennytown is sold. Selling Pennytown has eluded the mayor during his three years in office. Finally, regarding debt, Kuchinski’s claim of having stopped “kicking the can down the road,” at the breakfast is also simply not true. The mayor has burdened the township with new debt every year as mayor by borrowing money every year to balance his budget, including $3.3 million in 2018.

Rothwell Continued from Page 1A Quality Market, said Councilman Chris Fossel. He is a jobs coach for special needs students at Hopewell Central High School. “He appreciated what they did,” Fossel said. The grocery store provided jobs for the students, who worked as “baggers” at the checkout line or collected shopping carts in the parking lot.

“He was attuned and involved with the students from the high school who were working there,” Fossel said. He added that Rothwell was still very active in the store’s operations, and knew many of the customers by name. “He was very engaging. When you talked to him, you were the only one there. He was very warm and caring individual. He was a great personal friend to me,” Fossel said.

LouEtta Carroll Santucci, 102

LouEtta remarried after her husband, Royal passed. She resided in Palm Beach County, Florida for several years with her second husband, John Santucci. She returned to New Jersey after his death to be near her family.

609-737-1498

Cromwell-Immordino Memorial Home

Prior to her marriage, LouEtta was a conscientious employee of NJ Bell Telephone. During her time with the company she performed her operator’s duties during the infamous night of October 30, 1938. Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater production performed a radio adaption of H. G. Well’s, The War of the Worlds. Some listeners mistook the program to be real, (convinced that Martians were invading Grovers Mill, NJ). They made numerous calls to police, newspaper offices, and radio stations. The show caused nationwide hysteria. During that evening LouEtta worked through the entire night tirelessly reassuring callers that the show was not real.

Dedication to work and caring for others continued during LouEtta’s lifetime. She worked at the Princeton Medical Group for many years, managing the Records Department. She was a devoted wife, sister, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great grandmother and friend sharing her cooking knowledge, gardening, crafting and sewing talents with all who asked for assistance and she regularly made original creations which she gifted to many friends and relatives.

LouEtta Carroll Santucci, age 102, of Princeton NJ passed away peacefully on Monday, June 11, 2018. She was born and lived in Hopewell, NJ, until her marriage to Royal James Carroll. She and he resided in Princeton, NJ for more than 32 years until Royal’s passing in 1973.

In 1996, when LouEtta was 80 years old her son and daughter-in-law arranged for her to appear in the PBS American Experience production, the Battle of Citizen Kane, (a documentary about the battle between Orson Welles and William Randolph Hearst over Welles’ Citizen Kane and the Mercury Theater production of the radio show). LouEtta was fascinated by the filming process and enjoyed her role in the production.

A FINAL SENDOFF Many people do not envision their funerals as being the somber occasions that most of us have come to expect and accept. Instead, they foresee the rites surrounding their burial or cremation to be more like celebratory events similar to weddings, graduations, or other milestones. The only difference is that the person whose life is being celebrated is present only in spirit. Against this backdrop, friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances gather to eat, drink, dance, and sing in accordance with the deceased’s final wishes. Everyone is invited to share memories about past experiences in a way that elevates the memory of the deceased to heights that might not otherwise have been reached.

A funeral is an experience of value and when properly planned can provide lasting satisfaction and comfort to the survivors. Our funeral service family can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details and will explain all of the available options. To learn more, please don’t hesitate to call us at 609-737-2900.

The Arts Council of Princeton’s third parklet officially opened Saturday, June 9, at its location in front of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street.

2018 Princeton Parklet Opens

he 2018 Princeton Parklet has opened. Returning to its original location in front of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, the Arts Council of Princeton had a successful launch of its third parklet on Saturday, June 9. Parklets are essentially public seating venues that use curbside parking spaces as its base of operation. Each parklet has a distinct design based off of what the host town or city deems necessary. The Princeton Parklets have always been works of interactive art. Debuting in 2015, outside of Small World Coffee, the first Princeton Parklet came about when Princeton mayor, Liz Lempert, and Arts Council of Princeton Director, Maria Evans collaborated to make a free and open public space out of unused parking spaces. The first parklet featured couches sculpted from elm wood, tree stump planters and stools, hanging rocking chairs as well as hanging pods to sit in. Each year the parklets are open from June to around mid-November. Due to a lack of funding, there was no parklet in 2016, while last year’s parklet was installed in front of jaZams in Palmer Square. The 2017 parklet was an interactive ‘energy playground,’ which brought out many children. “After the great experience we had last year with the jaZams’ Energy Parklet, and all of the energy features we built, this

year’s parklet will be more about relaxing with friends, unplugging for a brief time, and just enjoying the design of the structure,” said Maria Evans, Artistic Director of the Arts Council of Princeton and curator of the project. The 2018 structure is the same as the previous year’s, which uses solar, wind and hydro-power. The structure also uses water-powered cell phone chargers. Both structures were designed and built by Princeton architect, Joseph Hobart Weiss. Weiss added some new features to this year’s parklet including a green roof to “serve as an educational venue to teach the importance of water, soil and plants in our urban environment.” Weiss noted at last year’s parklet opening that he draws inspiration for his endeavors from the place and site of where each of his projects will take place. Sitting in front of its original location of Small World Coffee, Artistic Director, Evans has great praise for the host of her project. “Jessica Durrie, owner of Small World Coffee, is such a great host for the parklet,” said Evans. “She and her amazing team make sure the parklet stays clean and wellkept for the public. I’m certain this will be another great year for this beloved public art project.” The 2018 Parklet’s address is 14 Witherspoon Street, which is located in front of Small World Coffee.

Kelsey Theatre to present ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ W

illiam Shakespeare - medieval bard, classic playwright and Elizabethan comedian - has been regarded as one of the greatest composers of the English language. “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” a Shakespearean comedy that has received the brunt of criticism for more than three centuries, follows the story of a recurring rogue that has been incorporated amidst numerous of The Bard’s literary works. Theater company, Shakespeare 70, will showcase “The Merry Wives of Windsor” on June 22, 23, 29, 30 and July 1 at the Kelsey Theatre, which is located at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor. Shakespeare 70, now closing in on its 49th year of production, is a Ewing-based theater dedicated toward producing contemporary and classic plays. Janet Quartarone, assistant director of the “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” said the premise of Shakespeare’s late 16thcentury comedy centers on the happenings in the colorful Elizabethan town of Windsor, England. Falstaff, the play’s protagonist Quartarone described as an ageing, overweight knight who is “down on his luck,” is looking to obtain “a financial advantage” after attempting to court two married women he hopes to receive money from. After Falstaff sends identical love letters to the women in an effort to win over their already-spoken-for hearts, Quartarone said, the women decide to toy with the newcomer after they immediately forecast the rogue’s deceitful intentions toward his transparent effort to make a quick buck. “These are fun-loving, respectable women who have control over their husband’s wallets,” Quartarone said. For the women’s own amusement, she continued, the merry wives pretend to fall for Falstaff’s romantic advances, and end

Shakespeare 70 will showcase William Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at the Kelsey Theatre at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor on June 22-23, 29-30 and July 1. up playing humble pranks on the aging knight throughout the play’s entirety. Quartarone described the classic performance as “playful and whimsical.” “What you see is what you get,” Quartarone said in response to the infamously “inferior” Shakespearean work, as the play is most prominently known. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” has been critically reviewed as The Bard’s weakest play due to the absence of substance within the context of Shakespeare’s words. The comedic basis of the play is exempt from aspects of Shakespeare’s routinely inquisitive, rather thought-provoking themes, which are seen throughout his other works of romance, power and tragedy. Quartarone described Shakespeare’s

works of comedy as “a different kind of animal.” In a statement administered by Shakespeare 70, The Merry Wives of Windsor has said to have been “hailed for dramatizing the emergence of a new middle class, eschewing pretension and aristocratic authority, while championing female autonomy and the power of love to break down class distinctions.” Dale Simon, who plays Falstaff in the upcoming production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” brings humor and endearment to an otherwise timeless role, Quartarone said. “He (Simon) strove to make this character loveable. He really understands Shakespeare’s voice and enjoyed finding the nuance in this character,” Quartarone

said. Falstaff, who is said to be one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedic characters, has also appeared in the plays Henry IV and Henry IV Part II. Quartarone said it was Queen Elizabeth who (allegedly) presented a request to Shakespeare himself asking that Falstaff appear in a comedy, rather than tale of England’s history. Aside from the central storyline pertaining to a rogue’s insufficient romantic advances, the subplots themselves intersect within the tale of the recurring Falstaff, Quartarone said. “This is a very silly play. The characters have their own idiosyncracies.” With an opening night dating to 1602, the Shakespearean saga, as some might prefer to call it, has been produced and remastered over a period of centuries. In order to incorporate an individual take on an otherwise classic performance, Quartarone said, the “playfullness” of the performance is what is going to make the modern-day production memorable. After toying with different ways in which to give the performance new life, Quartarone said she wanted to experiment with different notions of transparency she said would add to the overall exuberance of The Bard’s classic, comedic production. Those in attendance will be able to see the transitions between individual scenes, as well as the play’s characters entering and exiting the stage, Quartarone said. Attendees will even be able to sit on the stage, where actors will playfully engage with those who choose to experience an up close and personal performance. “We really wanted to people up this play,” Quartarone said.

Count Basie collection to be displayed at Rutgers in Newark

he collection of jazz icon, William J. “Count” Basie Jr., is now in the possession of Rutgers University in Newark. The Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS), which is located on the Rutgers campus in Newark, announced this past week that it will serve as the site for the collection of Count Basie. Count Basie, a nine-time Grammy winner and first African American to win the award in 1958, is globally recognized for his work in jazz. The pianist, organist, bandleader and composer is still a recognized figure in American culture and music still, today, 34 years following his death in 1984. “It is only fitting that the Count Basie Collection will be housed at the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies,” said Wayne Winborne, executive director of IJS. “The IJS has been long recognized as the world’s foremost archives and research facility devoted to jazz. Moreover, unbeknownst to many people, Count Basie was a native New Jerseyan, born and raised approximately 40 miles south of IJS in Red Bank.” “We will be starting with the paper based materials, like photos and things that go in boxes and are normal every day materials,” said Adriana Cuervo, the associate director of the IJS. “From there we will move on to artifacts and larger materials, like furniture. That’s how we plan to arrange and describe materials. We are still looking for a home, and physical space where we can slowly chip away and go through the process.” The Count Basie Collection, which includes over 1,000 artifacts. Including Basie’s pianos, Hammond organ, photos, correspondence, concert programs, business records and press clippings, will eventually be placed on display but the IJS officials have not yet set a date when it will be open for the public. The collection will also display Count Basie’s clothes, accessories, scrapbooks

Picture provided by Rutgers University-Newark, Institute of Jazz Studies

and some audiovisual material as well. The Collection will also consist of many belongings from Catherine Basie, who was William’s wife and life partner for over 40 years. “Although the materials cover the entirety of Basie’s lifetime, the collection represents the latter years of Basie’s life and career particularly well,” said Winborne. “Including a large number of accolades, Grammy awards, honorary degrees and proclamations.” Dan Morgenstern, the Executive Director Emeritus of the IJS, looked back on Count Basie and the times they shared together. “The first time I got to really see Count Basie in action was when I was privileged to be at a recording session with the band,” said, Morgenstern. “He had a marvelous sense on how to utilize space and time. He was a wonderful person with absolutely no side, he was really a regular guy, and in spite of his great acclaim, he was just a really warm and friendly person.” “We are extremely excited, grateful and humbled to be chosen to be stewards of the Basie legacy in the form of this collection,” said Winborne. “We are also happy to have a New Jersey native, come home, where his life and legacy can be celebrated locally and shared globally.” The Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank is named after the legendary musician.

Mercer County salutes police officers in annual affair

spotted Princeton Police Chief, Nick Sutter and two of his officers Detective, Adam Basatemur and Detective Sergeant, Ben Gering in Hamilton Township last week in the midst of a shoot – with cameras, not guns, pointed at them. They were among the 13 police officers taking part in a celebratory, rather than crisis, situation, during which the officers listened to words of appreciation for their acts of selfless bravery. An estimated 210 guests attended The 200 Club of Mercer County’s Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, June 13, at the Stone Terrace in Hamilton Square to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers being honored for their bravery, skills, character, determination, and unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the county’s citizens. The particular incident that inspired the honor for the Princeton detectives, along with two other law enforcement colleagues- New Jersey State Police Lieutenant, Tom Wieczerak and New Jersey State Police Sergeant, Joe Itri, remains an engraved image on my psyche, because it occurred a little too close for my comfort. It took place a block from where I live, right next to my favorite institutional hangout – the Princeton Public Library, and a block away from Starbucks and Small World Coffee, where I derive all of my sustenance.

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B

As described by Princeton Police Chief, Sutter, on the evening of Jan. 24, Princeton Police Department Detective Sergeant, Gering and Detective, Basatemur, located a vehicle belonging to a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide in New York. The vehicle was parked on the top level of a downtown Princeton parking garage. The search of the area began in response to an alert sent by the New Jersey State Police. As the detectives approached the car to investigate, a male, identified as the wanted suspect suddenly ran from the car and jumped up on the parking garage wall, five stories above ground level. The officers made contact with the suspect who was now in a crouched position on the wall of the parking garage ready to jump. They began to negotiate with the suspect, when New Jersey State Police Lieutenant, Wieczerak and Detective Sergeant, Itri arrived and assisted in the negotiations. After an hour of negotiations in frigid temperatures, they eventually convinced the suspect to come down from the ledge. They continued to negotiate with the suspect in an attempt to get his surrender peacefully. As negotiations broke down, Sergeant Itri was able to take the suspect to the ground, in order to prevent him from fleeing or harming himself. The detectives and troopers took the suspect into custody. This suspect was wanted for a

An estimated 210 guests attended The 200 Club of Mercer County’s Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, June 13, at the Stone Terrace in Hamilton Square to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers being honored for their bravery, determination, and unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the county’s citizens. “particularly heinous murder. If not for the actions of these officers and troopers, this individual may still be in the community or he may have successfully committed suicide,” said Chief Sutter. The 200 Club of Mercer County every year presents The R. Peter Hodge Valor Award to an individual who has committed an act of bravery, beyond the call of duty, and at imminent personal risk to their own life and safety. The club named the award in honor of its late founding board member Princeton resident Peter Hodge, renowned for a life devoted to helping others and for “his dedication and support of all first responders in our community….These honorees on the scene at these incidents, like so many safety and rescue personnel, put their own lives in danger to protect others,” said Greg Blair, president of the 200 Club of Mercer County. The actions of our officers on that day in January, said Chief Sutter, “exemplified the tenants of this award. They acted heroically and exceptionally to save a person’s life and bring a violent criminal to justice. Their actions represent the

work that our Princeton Police Officers do each and every day. I am thankful to work alongside such selfless, morally strong and professional people every day I come to work.” Nearly 40 years ago, The 200 Club of Mercer County, which costs $200 to join, was founded to provide financial assistance to the families of public safety and rescue personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This includes the police officers (state, county, and municipal), correction officers, fire fighters, and rescue squad technicians of Mercer County. Crucial to its mission is the celebration of those first responders who have exhibited extraordinary courage and bravery under difficult or hazardous conditions. This year seven police officers received the R. Peter Hodge Valor Award, and six members of the Mercer County Special Task Force received a special recognition. Keynote speaker at the lunch was renowned Princeton resident - New Jersey radio (NJ101.5 FM), television (FOX TV affiliates), and comedy club personality Bill Spadea. In addition to the police officers

involved in the Princeton incident, the other recipients of the 2018 Valor Awards were: Trenton Police Officer, Freddy Jimenez; NJ state Police Detective, Rasheed Joaquin; and New Jersey State Police Sergeant, Curtis Sand. The 200 Club also presented a Special Recognition Award to the six officers of the Mercer County Task Force, who met gunfire, when they attempted to serve an arrest warrant - situation that led to a dramatic and life-threatening 36-hour standoff. The officers involved were: Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Detective, Anthony Abarno; New Jersey State Parole Board Officers, Timothy Healy and Barry Volkert; Sheriff’s Detectives, William Perez, Joseph Tuccillo and Steven Niederer. Mr. Spadea, described by Club President Gregory Blair as a “tireless advocate on behalf of law enforcement,” every Friday morning on his 101.5 FM radio show highlights a member of local law enforcement as part of his regular #BlueFriday segment. He told the first responders “you have a voice (in Bill Spadea) that understands how difficult, how challenging your job is….You run towards gun fire, not away from it; you have incredible courage and integrity. Young people, in particular, and people of all ages need to better understand and appreciate what you selflessly do for others … My job is to broadcast continually your value… As long as I have a microphone, you have an advocate.”

Top 5 James Bond Movie Villains By Lori Acken, ReMIND Magazine

hat would Ian Fleming’s MI6 agent James Bond be without those memorable baddies to battle? Just a dapper guy with a tux, great gadgets, cool cars and Judi Dench’s M to keep him in line. Though 007 dodged dangers dealt by more than 100 sketchy souls throughout 26 films (and counting!), some have proved much more memorable than others. With a roster that long and colorful — and a fandom that spans generations and the globe — how folks prefer their Bond nemeses is as unique as the villains themselves. Maybe you’re partial to a creepycool physical abnormality (you with your robot hands, Dr.

No) or an ultra-extravagant lair (your mountaintop manse and volcano, Blofeld). Or maybe you’re more about quality mano a mano with Bond — or a stylish means to a kill. Since we relish all of it, these are our picks for Bond villain infamy. Auric Goldfinger Goldfinger (1964) Where do we start with the evildoer whose very name means “containing gold”? How about the fun fact that Orson Welles demanded too large a paycheck to play the golfing, gold-smuggling menace, so German actor Gert Fröbe stepped in (and, even though he knew just two phrases of English, completely owned the role). Or the part where the guy loves his gold so much that he decides to irradiate — but not destroy — the contents of Fort Knox with an atomic bomb to make his own glittering stockpile worth even more (a swerve from the Goldfinger novel). Throw in a host of other inventive kill tactics (toxic gas here, a lethal laser there and, of course, being smothered with gold), a henchman who could claim his own spot as a top Bond villain in the bowler-throwing Oddjob, and the most famous line in all of Bond-dom (“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!”) and we have ourselves a portly, dastardly bad guy bar none. Ernst Stavro Blofeld From Russia With Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Never Say Never Again (1983) and Spectre (2015) A baddie so brilliant he was played by six different actors (Christoph Waltz, Charles Gray, Max von Sydow, Anthony Dawson, Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas) and sent up in Mike Myers’ Austin Powers film franchise, the SPECTRE chief is inarguably Bond’s chief nemesis — dispatching most of Bond’s other tormentors to take him down, and sometimes dispatching them completely if the mission failed. Blofeld’s ability to change his appearance and his temperament made the role a cinematic playground for a variety of actors to leave their mark on the Bond franchise, which some — Pleasence, Savalas and Gray in particular — did to great effect. Scaramanga The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) Fleming’s cousin by marriage, Christopher Lee really wanted to play Dr. No, but got no for an answer — which ultimately worked out well. The titular “man with the golden gun” proved a perfect fit for the horror movie vet, who embodied the high-priced assassin in a way that thrilled the

book series purists. Planning to rule the world by harnessing the power of the sun (the U.S. oil and energy crisis was in full swing at the time) and encamped at a futuristic island lair purchased with his a-mil-a-kill asking price, Scaramanga had it all for Bond fans — a great gimmick, cool digs, a major challenge for Bond, and an equally scary henchman in the pint-sized terror Nick Nack, played with relish by a pre-Fantasy Island Hervé Villechaize.

Le Chiffre Casino Royale (2006) Though Casino Royale was Fleming’s very first Bond novel — making Le Chiffre the very first Bond villain — it took until 2006 for the blood-weeping, poker-playing tormentor to appear on the big screen in the form of Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. Chilly, scary and heartless — his uniquely savage torture tactic is one of the Bond series’ most memorable — “The Cypher” made for the perfect villain to usher in the Daniel Craig era of Bond films. And though we tend to prefer our Bond baddies with grand plans for world domination and an equally jaw-dropping lair, that fearsome eye and his place as Fleming’s first — along with the part where no real Bondflick fan feels good about lounging in a wicker chair — earn the greedy, dirty banker his spot on our list. Rosa Klebb From Russia With Love (1963) Ya gotta love a gal with career goals — even if said career is nefarious business. The head of operations for SMERSH (a blend of two Russian words meaning “death to spies”) in Bond creator Ian Fleming’s novels, Lotte Lenya’s Klebb defected to the even more treacherous SPECTRE (that one’s “Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion”) in From Russia With Love. Klebb’s plot to steal the Lektor decoder that both SMERSH and MI6 covet was only undone when Bond bedded her comely corporal Tatiana, who takes out her boss before Klebb can fell 007 with poison-and-blade-spiked shoes. Leave it to a fatal femme to sport some literally killer shoes — and had Bond himself actually taken out the scariest dame in the Bond film catalog, we would have moved her further up the list. What About Jaws? Even folks who don’t watch Bond films recognize Richard Kiel’s towering, steel-chompered bad guy, who was such a hit in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me that producer Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli brought him back for Moonraker a few years later. Though Jaws easily outshone his boss Karl Stromberg and had a seriously entertaining knack for survival, we’re docking villain points (but tipping our hat, just the same) to the fact that Jaws found love, redemption — and his voice! — by the end of Moonraker. Well, here’s to your heart, Jaws. But we liked you better bad.

Happy Days are here again... Is your vehicle ready for that Road Trip?

Fighting crime, and family time By Paul Hall

t’s been 14 years since we had a film featuring the first family of superheroes, but they are back and ready for action in the new animated film Incredibles 2 from director Brad Bird. Supers, as the superheroes are known, have been shoved underground. There is no place for them in society as the people are tired of the destruction they leave in their wake. The Incredibles just want to continue their mission to help those less fortunate, but when the superhero program is shut down once and for all, they must start a new life. Enter Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) and his sister Evelyn (Catherine Keener). The two want nothing more than to return supers back to public acceptance. To do so, they enlist the talents of Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), mainly because she doesn’t leave PR nightmares behind like the messes that follow in the wake of Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson). So Elastigirl is off to work to save the supers while Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible’s alter ego) watches the kids. But who has the easier job? And will they succeed? Bob is left to manage moody teenager Violet (Sarah Vowell), speedy youngster Dash (Huck Milner), who is struggling with math, and baby Jack-Jack, who the family is just realizing might have a series of powers of his own. And Bob has never been the stay-at-home-dad type, but he must take over while Helen, better known as Elastigirl, is off trying to save the world

from the evil Screenslaver. Incredibles 2 provides us with a longoverdue sequel to the immensely popular original film, and the good news is, despite the 14-year time gap, it still works. The story of the film provides us with more of a narrative around growing up with your family than it does with crimefighting. Sure, we get some classic action sequences, but where the film shines is in the familial-relations category. The best sequences in the film focus around Jack-Jack’s growth and how the family handles it. Violet’s relationship that starts and quickly fizzles (thanks to a memory wipe of the boy she is to go on a date with) also finds a way to entertain while dealing with the real issue of adolescence for teenagers. Great topics and a great voice cast combine to produce yet another solid film. I was only let down by some of the animation, which felt almost unfinished compared to the depth present in the bulk of the story. I know there was probably a purpose for this, but at first glance it was distracting and seemed grossly out of place. I’ll fight crime any time with this first family of superheroes — just don’t make me babysit Jack-Jack. Paul’s Grade: B+ Incredibles 2 Rated PG Voices of: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell Director: Brad Bird

Donna M. Murray

2017 Realtor® Of the Year – Mercer County

CRS, e-PRO, ASP, SRS, Sales Associate, Realtor Office: 609-924-1600

Here I am with my family. Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.

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

. Tell us about yourself. A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek, which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.

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

. What do you like to do for fun? A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many

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

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

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

. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years? A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology. Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.
