She’s a natural: Local teacher’s skin care line blossoms at retail By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

Edye Dumhart never envisioned herself as an entrepreneur. Physical education teacher, yes; stay-at-home mom, ditto; business owner, no. Yet this is where Dumhart, the founder and owner of Edye’s Naturals, finds herself after teaching physical education and then staying home while her now-grown children were young. After her two children were older, Dumhart, like many stayat-home moms, wanted to go back to work. Unable to find a full-time teaching position, she became a substitute teacher. Around that same time, as happens with many men and women of a certain age who had spent too much time in the sun, Dumhart’s skin began showing signs of sun damage, from rosacea to wrinkles. Dumhart, who lives in Pennington Borough, tried countless numbers of skin care products to mitigate the sun damage, but none of them seemed to work. That’s when Dumhart literally took matters into her own hands and began to experiment with mixtures of plant oils - from extra virgin olive oil to avocado oil, grapeseed oil, rice bran oil and carrot seed oil, among others. Finally, Dumhart found a winning formulation, and Edye’s Naturals was born. “The first person I gave my concoction to was a friend who had eczema,” Dumhart said. The mixture contained shea butter and an assortment of organic oils, but no chemicals, water or alcohol. That concoction, Edye’s Face

& Body Butter, cleared up her friend’s skin condition in a couple of days, “and that’s when I realized maybe I could help other people, too,” she said. Dumhart decided to take a batch of her organic skin care products to the Trenton Farmers Market on Spruce Street in Lawrence Township, and offer it for sale. “My goal was to make more money than I was making as a substitute teacher,” Dumhart said, adding that she did make more that day than she did as a substitute teacher. With the success of that initial organic skin product, Edye’s Naturals line of skin care products was launched, in the family’s kitchen, dining room and basement. “You couldn’t walk through the dining room. The whole house was taken over by the business,” she said. Edye’s Naturals’ success meant Dumhart had to find a new home for her budding business venture. She found an empty storefront at 152 Altamawr Avenue, Lawrence Township, which is now the home base of Edye’s Naturals. Dumhart readily admits that starting a business from scratch is “just hard.” “You have to plan on not paying yourself for a long time. You have to put in a lot of hours, days, nights and weekends. You need to have a lot of patience. It’s perseverance,” she said. The buyers of her line of natural skin care products are mostly women, although some men have made purchases, too, she said. It’s all about having healthy skin. See BUSINESS, Page 3A

Avenue. The northbound lane is not affected by lane closure for construction work, police said. Regardless, motorists should plan for alternate routes because of the potential for traffic delays. All trucks will be detoured at Route 295 or Route 202, police said. Trucks will not be permitted to travel on Route 31 between Pennington-Titusville Road and Ingleside Avenue. Police cautioned that the work on the Route 31 bridge is weather dependent.

HOPEWELL VALLEY BRIEFS Through July 31

HELP FOR RECEDING GUMS

Our gums help support our teeth and connect them to our jaws by providing a protective barrier around tooth roots. Receding gums, or “gingival recession,” occurs when the gums are pushed back or a tooth is in an abnormal position. With respect to the latter cause, teeth should erupt in the center area of the jawbone so that gum tissue is evenly distributed at the front and back of each tooth. If teeth erupt or move outside this foundation, the absence of gum tissue can leave the tooth root exposed, which makes it sensitive to hot and cold and more vulnerable to decay, infection, and loss. Orthodontic treatment can help stop or reverse gum recession if begun at an early stage. Some patients with preexisting gum recession may need grafting to resolve it, either before or after orthodontics. In these cases, patients are referred to a periodontist for treatment. Generally, the gums of growing patients are more resilient and can regenerate more easily than the gums of adults. To schedule a 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.

Please visit our website at: www.Bracez4you.com P.S. Orthodontic treatment can help prevent gum disease that arises as a consequence of overcrowded teeth that cannot be flossed.

Hopewell Scavenger Hunt. The Stones of Hopewell is this year’s theme for the Hopewell Public Library’s annual self-scheduled, self-guided Scavenger Hunt during the whole month of July.

Love NJ’s outdoors? Take action now. What do Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens, Jesse Allen Park in Newark, Camden Waterfront Park, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Island Beach State Park and Paterson’s Great Falls National Historic Park have in common? These parks and natural areas – and many more throughout this state we’re in - have all benefited from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a 52-year-old federal program to create and improve public parks, recreation areas, beaches, monuments and historic sites. New Jersey has received more than $346 million through this popular, bipartisan program. But the Land and Water Conservation Fund is set to expire on Sept. 30, and quick action by Congress is needed. Established in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson, the Land and Water Conservation Fund is a fantastic deal because it provides outdoor recreation for millions of people at no cost to taxpayers. It’s funded entirely through royalties from offshore oil and gas projects. Over the past 50 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has helped preserve iconic landscapes in every state, including Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Mount Rainier National Park in Washington, the Gettys-

burg National Military Park in Pennsylvania and George Washington’s Mount Vernon. In New Jersey, this fund has helped establish, expand and improve public parks in all 21 counties – from small community parks and ballfields to national recreation areas and wildlife refuges like theDelaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Outdoor recreation is a powerful economic engine in New Jersey, generating nearly $19 billion inconsumer spending every year and supporting 143,000 jobs, $5.9 billion in wages and salaries, and $1.2 billion in state and local tax revenue. This economic engine will sputter if the funds run out. As our state’s population grows, it’s important that we continue to add public open spaces so that everyone can experience the great outdoors. Not convinced? Without the Land and Water Conservation Fund, these projects won’t happen: • Continued revitalization of the North Camden Waterfront Park, extending it by a half-mile with additional trails, picnic areas and spots for sightseeing along the Delaware River back channel. • Continued revitalization of Jesse Allen Park in Newark as a vibrant space for community gatherings, recreation and athletics. When completed, it will be Newark’s secondlargest city-owned park, benefiting nearly 13,700 residents within a 10-minute walk, as well as residents in surrounding communities. • An addition to the Rockaway River Wildlife Management Area in Morris County, connecting to 3,000 acres of preserved lands. This unique property flows into the Musconetcong and Rockaway River watersheds and protects water quality in both Lake Shawnee and Lake Hopatcong. Others include Liberty State Park, Spruce Run Recreation Area and the Pequest Fish Hatchery. Thecity of Paterson has a grant to build a trail along the Passaic River. The New Jersey Highlands region has benefited from this fund, protecting the drinking water for more than 6 million people, or nearly two-thirds of New Jersey’s population. New Jersey’s bipartisan Congressional delegation continues to be longstanding supporters of theLand and Water Conservation Fund. But the September deadline looms. Contact your Congressional representative today and urge him or her to support American’s most important conservation program and ensure that the Land and Water Conservation Fund is permanently reauthorized and fully funded. To contact your congressional representative, go tohttp://www.house.gov/ representatives/find/. Visit http://www.lwcfcoalition.org/ to learn more about the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Come in from the heat for a fun and relaxing one-time “popup” gathering for adults to discuss the Nancy Drew phenomenon. Whether you’ve read a Nancy Drew book recently or not, join other curious chums to learn more about how the book series was first conceived and written, and the changes in the spunky sleuth found in revisions over the years. They are still checked out by our young readers! If you can, read one of the library’s

many Nancy Drew mysteries to refresh your memory before the session. Bring your own summertime drink (in a covered container) and join other closet detectives. Free and open to the public.

SETTING PRIORITIES Despite the fact that nearly two-thirds (62.5 percent) of Americans acknowledge that it is important to pre-plan their own funerals, less than a quarter (21.4 percent) of them actually follow up these thoughts with action. In fact, for the fifth consecutive year, the National Funeral Directors Association’s annual Consumer Awareness and Preferences Study reveals that, although consumers know that they should make funeral arrangements prior to need, many do not. Among the reasons cited for not doing so include preplanning is not a priority; they have not thought about it; or that prepaying is too costly. It is important to address these and other concerns with family and a funeral director, who helps allay fears and outline a workable plan.

Find a funeral home you trust and work with the funeral director to plan your burial or cremation and funeral or memorial service. The funeral director can also help you purchase any goods and services you’ll need for the service. To learn more about our funeral services, please call or visit our beautiful funeral home. You can create a plan at any stage in your life, and you can make changes at a later date if you wish. To learn more about our funeral services, please call 609-737-2900. We are located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881.

Donna M. Murray CRS, e-PRO, ASP, SRS, Sales Associate, Realtor Office: 609-924-1600

2017 Realtor® Of the Year – Mercer County

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.

illiam Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is now in production at the Heritage Center Theatre in Morrisville, Pa., until July 29. The classic tale of star-crossed lovers is anything but perfect as the Heritage Center Theatre’s cast put on a disappointing performance on their opening night of Friday, July 13. In an 85-seat theater, where the square footage is smaller than the average American home, audience members were met with office fans that sat in the two corners in front of the stage and blew the audience’s warm breath back into their faces. Due to an electrical surge earlier in the week, the Heritage Center Theatre was left without air conditioning during the hot summer nights of mid-July. Throughout the five-act play, I counted multiple times where the actors stumbled over their lines throughout the production. When they weren’t stumbling over their

own lines, actors went through them as if they were forced to recite them. At some moments, I was transported back to my 9th grade English class, where Mrs. Nava forced hesitant students to read aloud in front of the class. The leading lady of the show, Kelly Colleran (Juliet Capulet), seemed to speed through each one of her lines as if she had to get every last word out in each breath. Colleran’s fast recital of lines made her clearly out of breath and hard to understand. While the male lead of the show, Nick Napoli (Romeo Montague), could barely convey emotion through his performance. Each time he attempted to show a different emotion, whether it was sadness or affection, Napoli would get louder and start to yell his lines to the audience. Keep in mind that the theater sat only 85 and his shouting

COVER STORY

by Ken Downey Jr.

Shakespeare Theatre of N.J. puts on a dark ‘Titus Andronicus’

show that is anything but fun for all families, William Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus” premiered on July 18 at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey that is located on the campus of Drew University in Madison. The dark and chilling tale of revenge, deceit and murder were all relevant in the production of “Titus Andronicus,” which was performed by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey for the first time in more than 30 years. Set towards the end of the Roman Empire, the play opens following the death of the Roman emperor and his two sons after a battle against the Goths, which has lasted for the last 10 years. Returning from battle, Titus Andronicus (Bruce Cromer) arrives victorious, and with prisoners as well. Titus’ prisoners included the Queen of the Goths, Tamora (Vanessa Morosco) and her three sons, Alarbus (Brett Comer), Demetrius (Torsten Johnson), Chiron (Quentin McCuiston), as well as her secret lover, Aaron the Moor (Chris White). To avenge the deaths of the former Roman Emperor and his two sons, Titus plans to kill Tamora’s eldest son, Alarbus. Tamora who begs for Titus to spare him, is left feeling vengeful as Titus does not hear her pleas. Tamora, along with her two sons and the Moor, vow to get revenge on Titus and his family. Eventually, Titus is asked to take the throne, but refuses because he does not feel that he is fit to rule. Titus elects that Saturninus (Benjamin Eakeley), the eldest of the former emperor’s two remaining sons, take the throne. Saturninus is immediately elected as emperor. Needing a bride, Saturninus wants to marry Titus’ daughter, Lavinia (Fiona Robberson). Though, Lavinia is already betrothed to Saturninus’ brother, Bassianus (Oliver Archibald). Bassianus refuses to give up his love, Lavinia. Titus’ four sons tell him that the be-

Titus accuses them of treason and chases after Bassianus as he and Lavinia try to run away. His four sons trying to stop him lead to Titus accidentally murdering his youngest son, Mutius (Emery Lawrence). Saturninus denounces the entire Andronici family and then shockingly announces his pick for his bride. Tamora, Queen of the Goths. Tamora asks Saturninus to pardon his brother, Bassianus and the Andronici family. Which he does, setting her plan into motion. The next day, while out on the royal hunt, Queen Tamora sneaks off to be with her secret lover, Aaron the Moor. When, Bassianus and Lavinia happen upon the two in the midst of their thralls, Tamora calls upon her sons, Demetrius and Chiron to kill Bassianus.

Begging for her life as well, Lavinia pleas with Tamora for her life. Tamora already, was going to spare her, and tells Lavinia that she would never deprive her sons of her. Now begging Tamora to kill her, her two sons drag Lavinia into a cave to rape her. Making sure that she can never tell anyone what truly happened, they cut out her tongue and chop off her hands. Writing a forged letter to Saturninus, Aaron of Moor frames Titus’ sons, Quintus (Braden Spear) and Martius (Jackson Knight Pierce) as the murderers of Bassianus. Marcus (Robert Cuccioli), Titus’ brother, stumbles upon Lavinia in the woods and is immediately shocked by her state. Marcus decides he must take her to her father. Aaron the Moor seeks out Titus to falsely tell him that Saturninus will spare his sons, Quintus and Martius, if either he, his

brother Marcus or his eldest son, Lucius (Clark Scott Carmichael) chops of their hand and sends it to him. Titus agrees to do it, and has Aaron chop off his hand. Giving it to Aaron, he eventually returns with the hand, along with Quintus’ and Martius’ heads in bags. Titus now distraught and desperate to get revenge, the first act ends with him sending his last remaining son, Lucius to leave Rome and raise an army to return to overthrow the throne. The set for the production was amazing. Giant sword blades were placed strategically around the ceiling of the stage and a giant Roman helmet was placed on the right side of the stage, lopsided and jutting out from the floor. Dry ice was pumped onto the stage and the theater was in a state of fog. Costumes were very well done. The Romans were all in a mix of robes on top of suits. Which made them look modernlyauthentic. While the Goths wore furs and chains and were branded with fake tattoos, looking somewhat like the Dothraki from Game of Thrones. What was incredible acting and directing from all who took part in the production, was overshadowed by the darkness of the show. Fiona Robberson gave a tremendous performance as Lavinia. It was so well done, that it truly looked as if she were being raped on stage. From the look on her face to her chilling, blood-curdling screams, it was really hard to watch. I was not shocked to see several people get into their vehicles at intermission and leave before the conclusion of the show. It is needless to say that this show is not for families and parents should be wary if they plan on bringing their families out for a night of theater. ‘Titus Andronicus,’ continues at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, 36 Madison Ave. Madison, through Aug. 5. www.shakespearenj.org. 973-408-5600.

Romeo and Juliet Continued from Page 2B hurt my ears, I didn’t even ask the elderly couples sitting around me what they had been thinking. There were a few times throughout the production where there had been more than 15 actors on the stage at once (sword fight, masquerade). The stage, which was not very big, could not handle this many actors at once. The scenes were over-crowded, and you could not follow what was going on because everyone was so close together. Though trying to preserve the authenticity of the production, the over-crowding of the couple of scenes really brought you outside of the show. One of the biggest problems of the production was the set itself. A two-story building which served as the only set throughout the entire show, looked very authentic to the Verona setting of the play. To the right of the building was even a fountain with running water. With three doorways on the bottom, each with a black curtain, to mask the entrances and exits of each actor, and a matching three doorways above them to serve as balconies, the building looked very genuine. The upper balconies were used to proclaim announcements from, with of course, the key balcony for the Act II, Scene II, passage

THINGS TO DO where Romeo and Juliet share a secret moment. The topright doorway was used for this scene. Though the building looked more than true to the show, there was one glaring issue that just could not be excused; the set was too big. The tops of the upper-balcony doorways went way above the lighting in the ceiling of the theater. Standing in this section of the set, any audience member would have to crane their neck to be able to fully see the actor in the scene, unless they preferred to watch with the scaffolding of the lighting coming across the actor’s mid-section. During the iconic balcony scene, Colleran, who was portraying Juliet, had to kneel onto the ground and perform the scene almost laying on the floor. What should have been the pivotal scene of the show, was not as Romeo held up his hand to the girl who looked ready to go to sleep. Honorable Mention: The only enjoyable part of the entire production was Cat Miller as Mercutio. Miller nailed the role of Romeo’s best friend and portrayed a male better than the males who were actually on the stage. It was unfortunate that Miller was playing the character who was the first to die, it would have been nice to see her continue her performance past Act III.

Fitness is a way of life, love for Robert Murphy

obert Murphy is a man of few words. The philosophy guiding his professional life as a fitness facility management professional can be summed up in just a few of his words: “Well done is better than well said,” said Rob, who for the past decade has worked at health fitness facilities in the 08540 zip code area. Thanks to my professional life that focuses on words with the power to inspire action (I hope), I have talked to Rob and watched him in action at all three of the Princeton/Plainsboro fitness facilities he has managed: CanDo Fitness at Princeton Forrestal Village, Princeton Fitness and Wellness on the Princeton Medical Center campus and now, Life Time Athletic Princeton in the heart of Princeton Forrestal Center (Princeton University’s Corporate Office 00254046.0113.02x4.9.CranburyInn.indd

and Research Park), at 7 Forrestal Road South. He is a fan of show-and-tell exercise only when it is followed up by action. Even though he can wax eloquently about Life Time’s “incredible” staff, equipment, fitness classes, indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and other amenities, “their value is how they interact with our members. Our equipment and trainers are so important because they enable people to live in the healthiest possible way and to the fullest. I derive most of my professional satisfaction from watching members use the amenities and watching my staff work with them to make a difference in their lives,” he said. Rob Murphy of Life Time Athletic Princeton He describes himself as “member-centric fitness facility professional,” who has delivered a “fitness experience ing myself happy,” he said. “She encouraged me to pursue to over 70,000 members…always putting the member what I loved most – being fit and inspiring others to find first. Fitness in my world should not be an obligation, or the joy in fitness.” something that you are forced to do by doctors or family He left his account managing job and embraced his members, but rather an activity you really want to do and passion by becoming a “personal enhancement coach and enjoy without a trace of dread…. I want to change ‘have’ personal trainer” at CanDo.

He did not laugh off, however, the description of Life Time Fitness as a “Disney style fitness resort.” Just like Disney whose mission is to bring every individual the comprehensive and highest quality entertainment experience, “Life Time Fitness offers the ‘Healthy Way of Life’ experience through an array of health, wellness, nutrition, relaxation and entertainment services and programs,” said Rob who gave a healthy shout out to Princeton Forrestal Center executives, whose support, flexibility, and guidance enabled Life Time to create “the ultimate fitness experience.” When Rob is not working, he generally is working out. His leisure time with his two young daughters includes very little sitting-still time. He does a variety of exercises and sports with his two daughters, including pushups, squats and wall sits. Coming to work with Dad is far cry from sitting in a windowless office with a

computer. Work means an indoor pool, an outdoor “aquatic oasis” featuring a large pool, water slides and whirl pools, outdoor bistro, indoor café, and hanging out in the Life Time Kids Academy, a program designed especially for kids from three months to 11years, and led by experts teaching classes in many areas including tumbling, yoga, Spanish immersion, and arts. When his wife books a hotel for vacation outside of the Life Time Fitness building, “she knows me well enough to know that I can only be happy at a hotel with a good gym.” “The point is that I know am so fortunate that my work corresponds to what I want to do when I am not at work,” he said. “But I have to say again that the real gratification comes when people come up to me and say ‘you have changed my life. I never have been happier.’” This actually happened when I was sitting with him in the Life Time café. “How lucky can a guy get?” said Rob. It goes without saying that no other words are necessary.
