Former doctor charged with sex crimes in two states By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

A former neurologist who practiced in Mercer County is charged with committing sex crimes against patients in Hopewell Township and in New York City, with the New York case being handled first. Ricardo A. Cruciani, 64, was scheduled to appear on Aug. 2 in a Manhattan criminal court, where he faces charges involving six victims starting in 2013 dur-

ing the time he worked at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.’s office said this week the case is pending and Cruciani is free on $1 million bail. He was to appear before a judge on July 30 in state Superior Court, Trenton, where he faces a 23-count indictment, but that was postponed until later in September. Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Casey A. DeBlasio said on July 30 that 11

victims have come forward. Authorities have said there is some overlap in victims in the cases from New Jersey and New York. In New Jersey, Cruciani had worked at Capital Health’s Institute of Neurosciences as a chief neurologist there, the prosecutor’s office has said. “All of the acts are alleged to have occurred at Capital in Hopewell,” DeBlasio said by email on July 30. In Mercer County, Cruciani was initially indicted in March on

charges involving seven women. When more alleged victims came forward, authorities obtained, in May, a superseding indictment charging him with sexual assault and sexual contact. He faces a mix of second-degree and fourth-degree charges, all spanning January 2014 to January 2016. Second-degree charges carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. His next scheduled court date in New Jersey was set for Sept. 24, for a status conference on his

Mercer County 4-H Fair this year draws from a century of rural fairs By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The first Mercer County 4-H Fair, held on the grounds of Princeton High School in 1919, featured displays of chickens, pigs, rabbits and vegetables raised by young 4-H club members. Fast forward to the 100th annual Mercer County 4-H Fair, which was held July 28-29 at Howell Living Farm, Hopewell Township, and club members still showed off their prized rabbits, chickens and vegetables - along with exhibits of their photography, arts and crafts, and needlework projects. While the range of 4-H club members’ entries has evolved over the past century, what has not changed is the goal of the annual 4-H fair - to showcase the club members’ projects and to increase boys’ and girls’ interest in joining the 4-H Club program, said Chad Ripberger, the Mercer County 4-H agent. The abbreviation “4-H” stands for head, heart, hands and health,

which represents the core values of independence, belonging, mastery and generosity. The 4-H program symbol is a four-leaf clover. “(The club members) develop a sense of independence, a sense of belonging and serving the community,” Ripberger said. The 4-H program is open to children in grades one through 12, and one year past high school. There are animal clubs, art clubs, community service and leadership clubs, and nature clubs. The Mercer County 4-H Fair is the oldest 4-H fair in New Jersey and grew out of agricultural fairs that were popular in the 19th century, Ripberger said. The fairs aimed to bring the newest farming techniques and practices to farmers, he said. But back to the Mercer County 4-H fair. Since its inception in 1919, the fair has moved from place to place around the county. It moved to the county-owned Howell Living Farm in 2008. While the 4-H club members’

case. “He’s dealing with charges from two different jurisdictions that are serious charges,” said Rocco Cipparone, Cruciani’s lawyer in the Mercer County case. “He’s doing incredibly well given the stressors that puts on anybody.” Cipparone said his preference is for the New York case to be prosecuted first. He said that matter is further along and said

Pair charged in connection with Hopewell Township burglaries By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Two people have been arrested and a third person is being sought in connection with a string of burglaries that occurred during July, according to the Hopewell Township Police Department. Santiago Ramos, 28, of Camden, and Denise Dubois, 40, of Mount Ephraim,

In one tent, children could try to milk a goat - a wooden replica, not a real one - and they could shear wool off a (fake) sheep while 4-H club members watched and guided them. Visitors could learn what to feed a rabbit (hint, carrots and lettuce are treats, not the core of a rabbit’s diet). Young visitors could go for a pony ride, or they

have been charged with burglary and theft in connection with burglaries that occurred on New Road, Poor Farm Road, Valley Road, Maddock Road and Dublin Road, police said. A third suspect is being sought by police, with the help of the U.S. Marshal’s Office. In two of the incidents, on Dublin Road and New

Road, homeowners confronted the would-be burglars before they could break into the homes, police said. In the other incidents, the burglars forced their way into the houses. The Hopewell Township Police Department was assisted by neighboring police departments, including the Lawrence

One of the more popular events was the pie-eating contest, but with a trick. Contestants had to eat a small slice of blueberry pie without holding it. They had to keep their hands behind their back. “Ready, set, go. This is an important skill. Lick, lick, lick, keep it going, keep it going,” Ripberger said as he encouraged the young contestants, their faces smeared with blueberry pie filling.

Lambertville resident Kori Briggs was one of many visitors to the fair, along with her 18-monthold son, Odin. While most children and their families checked out the 4-H club exhibits, Odin had other ideas. Odin made it quite clear he wanted to play in a stream that runs through Howell Living Farm. He sat on the bank of the stream, and sometimes in it, and tossed pebbles into the water. Well, maybe next year he’ll be a little more interested in the fair.

Bon appétit: Community to come together for Restaurant Week By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

For ten days in August, a number of Hopewell Borough restaurants will be serving up dishes to diners from throughout the area for the second Hopewell Valley Summer Restaurant Week. From Aug. 5 - 10, 10 borough restaurants will be offering three-course lunches and dinners, with menu items and cost varying by location. The participating establishments are Antimo’s Italian Kitchen, Baron Dillon Grille at the Hopewell Valley Golf Club, The Blue Bottle Cafe, The Boro Bean, The Brick Farm Market, The Brick Farm Tavern, The Brothers Moon, Entrata, Hopewell Bistro and Nomad Pizza.

Originally started by Mayor Paul Anzano and Hopewell resident Susan Pollara, the event is hosted by the Hopewell Borough Restaurant Association. After what officials call a successful Hopewell Borough Winter Restaurant Week back in March and positive feedback from local restaurateurs, the association said it began to make plans for the summer festivities. “Usually in August, it’s a slower month for the restaurants so, to come together and highlight the community and get people from the surrounding areas — like Princeton, Montgomery, Lawrenceville, Ringoes and Pennington — to see the places and try something new in Hopewell gives the area a

boost,” Jeff Kyle, event organizer and front end and catering manager at Antimo’s Italian Kitchen, said. While last year’s Summer Restaurant Week found success with a farmer’s market, it will not be returning this year due to limited planning time, Kyle said. “In the future, we’d like to see it come back, we got nice feedback from it,” Kyle said. Officials said the week not only benefits the restaurants in the area, but surrounding businesses like liquor stores, since most restaurants in Hopewell have a “bring your own bottle” policy, Kyle added. Local farms, such as Marchese Farm, Cherry Grove Farm, Blue Moon

Acres, Rolling Hills Farms, Sansone’s and Terhune Orchards, will also be working with the restaurants to bring freshly grown produce to the menus. “Hopewell is a very special place, and at this time of the year, the chefs spotlight the finest, most amazing produce from all around the area,” Rory Philipson, organizer and owner of The Blue Bottle Cafe said. “[Multiple] restaurants are putting something together with tomatoes and mozzarella, only because it’s classic and it’s awesome and it’s summer.” Blue Bottle Cafe will be offering an appetizer of heirloom tomatoes, burrata cheese and basil oil, while The Brothers Moon

will be serving appetizers featuring Jersey tomatoes and basil pesto. Dinner items from Entrata include slow roasted pork belly lettuce wraps and petite filet with whipped potatoes and local mushroom ragu. While each restaurant sets different prices, Philipson said they typically reflect the year, with some three-course lunches costing $20.18. Kyle said that the week will allow diners to experience the different restaurants Hopewell has to offer and try something they wouldn’t normally eat. “This week is a way for us to come up with a menu that’s unique and something special and [to] have some fun with,” he said. “Coming up with something that gets people

to have a little more interest in that menu and trying something new is why we get excited.” With the number of restaurants participating during the week, it’s not about which diner goes where, Philipson said, as long as each small business benefits in some way. She also hopes that residents from Hopewell and neighboring areas will be able to discover, or rediscover, the town. “I hope that this week spotlights our awesome town and community and the phenomenal restaurants that are here and gives people a reason to get out and eat local,” she said.

Too hot to think? Studies show heat affects your brain During summer heat waves, you know your body will be hot and sluggish. But did you know that your brain is affected by the heat too? Two new studies show how heat waves and temperature spikes – which are expected to become more frequent due to climate change – are impacting our lives in surprising ways. In a new study by Harvard University, researchers found that extreme heat makes it harder to think! The study was published in the July 10 edition of PLOS Medicine as part of a special issue on climate change and health. In the study, researchers

tracked 44 students living in college dorm rooms during the summer of 2016. About half of the students lived in air-conditioned buildings, while the rest lived without AC. Over 12 days – including a five-day heat wave – students took two tests each morning just after waking up. One test measured students’ cognition and their ability to focus. The second test measured how quickly students processed and memorized information. The findings showed that during the heat wave, students who lived in the heat performed significantly worse than those who

cides. The study used new methods to understand the relationship between temperature and suicide and depression. The Stanford study found that a one-degree Celsius increase in average monthly temperature correlated with increases in the monthly suicide rate in the United States and Mexico. The study projects that unmitigated climate change could result in a combined 9,000 to 40,000 additional suicides across the United State and Mexico by 2050! These studies add to a growing body of evidence showing how heat affects our thinking and our mood. Here are a few others: • A 2006 study from researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab found that when office temperatures rise above

lived in air-conditioned dorms. The overheated students experienced decreased test scores across five measures, including reaction times and memory. Students in air-conditioned rooms were not just faster, but also more accurate. According to the Harvard study authors, future studies are needed to better understand how heatrelated stress could impact larger populations, including the ability to learn, economic productivity and workplace safety. The second study, conducted by Stanford University professors and published in the July 23 edition of Nature Climate Change, suggests that hotter temperatures – a result of the changing climate – are leading to more sui-

Full Moon Ride scheduled for Aug. 26 at Mercer Meadows Park By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Riding a bicycle on the path around Rosedale Lake is enjoyable, but it’s even more fun when it can be done at night under a full moon - and that is what bicyclists will be able to do later this month. The annual Full Moon Ride, which is the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corp.’s signature fund-raising event, is set for Aug. 26 at Mercer Meadows Park, which spans Lawrence and Hopewell townships. The rain date is Sept. 22. The event, which is co-sponsored by the Mercer County Park Commission, runs from 7-11:30 p.m. in the park’s picnic pavilion area. The entrance is off Federal City Road, between Blackwell and Old Mill roads in Hopewell Township. The nonprofit Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corp., which maintains the 22-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail in Lawrence and Hopewell townships, raises money to offset the maintenance costs through the Full Moon Ride. The fee for bicyclists is $20 and there is a $5 preregistration discount if registration is made before Aug. 15. There is no fee for individuals who want to attend the

y l -

event and who do not want to ride a bicycle, although a small donation is requested. The Full Moon Ride is the brainchild of Jay Watson, who volunteers with the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corp. During the day, he is the deputy director of the D&R Greenway Land Trust. “I am always looking for creative ways to introduce people to our amazing parks and open spaces throughout the state,” Watson said. “Hosting night events in the outdoors makes people see these places with a different perspective, and taps into a segment that might not be regular visitors.” Watson said he started hosting meteor shower parties at Mercer Meadows Park during the annual Perseid meteor showers in August. Soon, it occurred to Watson that people enjoy being in the park under dark, star-lit skies and that was the genesis of the Full Moon Ride. It was something new and it quickly became a popular event, he said. It is not necessary to be a bicycle rider to take part in the Full Moon Ride and there will be plenty of activities to occupy young and old alike. Participants, bicyclists and non-bicyclists, can bring

a picnic dinner, decorate their bicycles, watch a movie on an outdoor screen, or just enjoy a campfire. The band Sounds of Sandstorm will play blues, jazz and contemporary music. For bicyclists, the real fun begins around 8 p.m. when the moon rises. Groups of 40 to 50 bicyclists will head out from the picnic pavilion and ride on the path around Rosedale Lake. The next segment of the ride takes them under “Firefly Lane,” so called because twinkling lights have been set up on a canopy above the riders. Then, they will pass lanterns floating on Dragonfly Pond. Classical musicians will play for the bicyclists as they ride past. The Full Moon Ride and its pre-ride activities are open to all ages, but bicyclists must be at least 12 years old to go on the ride. Helmets are mandatory for riders under 18, but are recommended for all riders. Online registration is available by visiting the Lawrence Hopewell Trail’s website at www.lhtrail.org/fullmoonride. The deadline is 5 p.m. Aug. 26, but late registrants will be accepted at the event.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mayor Kuchinski and his corporate welfare To the editor: When real estate developers pay less than their fair share in property taxes, the rest of us pay more than our fair share in property taxes to make up for the lost revenue. The “Great Hopewell Township Corporate Giveaway” just got even greater if you are multi-billion (that’s with a “B”) dollar corporate real estate developer U.S. Homes Corporation, also known as Lennar, also known as U.S. Homes at Hopewell Urban Renewal, but not so good for you if you are a Hopewell Township taxpayer. Call it the township giveaway that the township committee just keeps on giving away. At the committee meeting on Monday, July 30, Mayor Kevin Kuchinski’s Democrat majority, with Republican John Hart dissenting, approved tax breaks to the real estate developer of the Zaitz Tract behind ShopRite. For the first five years of their 30 year property tax break, the developer will be required to pay only 66 percent of their

fair share of property taxes. For the next five years, they pay only 75 percent of their fair share of property taxes. Then, for the next 20 years, they still do not pay their full fair share of property taxes by receiving a one-half of one percent tax break. Previously, in December, 2017, Mayor Kuchinski signed off on selling the Zaitz Tract, which was purchased by the township for over $5 million, to U.S. Homes for $24,000. While it sounds unbelievable, you may read the “agreement for purchase and sale of real estate by and between the Township of Hopewell…and U.S. Homes Corporation [doing business as] Lennar, a Delaware corporation, purchaser,” dated December 11, 2017 for yourself on the township website. Reminds me of Native Americans selling Manhattan Island to Peter Minuit for $24 worth of trinkets, but at least they did not give the Dutch a tax break. Harvey Lester Titusville

The Art of a Smile Straightening teeth is not enough to create a beautiful smile. The ability to ideally position teeth within the frame of the lips during a posed and dynamic smile is why orthodontics is as much an art as it is a science. The smile arc is a valuable technique Dr. DeSimone uses to create an artistically designed smile. When the edges of the upper front teeth are parallel and mirror the shape of the lower lip during smiling, the smile arc is ideal and the smile is most beautiful. Prior to starting treatment, Dr. DeSimone studies how patients smile to understand

how their lips frame their teeth. Then she creates the perfect smile arc by customizing the placement of wires and braces or Invisalign. By doing so, the edges of the front teeth are not too far away from or covered by the lower lip. They follow a curve or arc that shows the full extent of the smile. At DeSimone Orthodontics smiles are not “one size fits all.” Dr. DeSimone’s personalized, expert care creates the most artistic smile for each of her patients. Please call us at 609737-8000 for your ideal smile arc evaluation.

Anne graduated Valedictorian from West Chester (PA) High School and went on to attend the University of Delaware, where she was a devoted alumna receiving the Outstanding Alumni Award in 1987. After graduating from U of D, Anne worked for the National Broiler Council, a trade association for the chicken industry and developed the National Chicken Cooking Contest in all fifty states, a contest that ran for over twenty years. In 1979, she went to work for Bi-State Publishing that published The Leader and The Peninsula Pacemaker. She and Marshall later purchased The Peninsula Pacemaker in 1980 and she became the publisher and editor of the magazine.

Dozens of murals are located alongside Asbury Park’s iconic boardwalk. Jenn Hampton, curator of the Parlor Gallery on Cookman Avenue, handpicks each artist to create imagery throughout the community.

Asbury Park looks more colorful

sbury Park is moving forward as an emerging visual hub for new age artists as the community immerses itself in contemporary culture. Today, animated murals adorn the sides of haunting infrastructures, which are now insecure from the impact of natural disasters - including time. Dozens of murals are located alongside the city’s iconic boardwalk. Larger-thanlife abstract paintings also reside on buildings along the city’s streets that now house attractive eateries, retail shops and tourism. Jenn Hampton, curator of the Parlor Gallery, which is on Cookman Avenue, said the colorful sights were non-existent until three years ago. “I felt really weird when I would read all of these articles about Asbury Park being an un-artistic community … I noticed that people didn’t know about art, and I noticed when people would say ‘oh there are no sculptures or murals in town,’ ” Hampton said. Hampton, being an art enthusiast her-

self, knew there was something that could be done to bringing art to the small city she said was in need of an artistic overhaul. Hampton handpicks each artist to create imagery throughout the community. The thriving music and culture scene - a modern renaissance one might call it - involves playing off the intrinsic flair Asbury Park naturally exudes. “When you are doing it, like many other things in life, you are not sure why. You’re just like, ‘I know I need to do this.’ It is interesting to see how art does change a landscape and people’s energy,” Hampton said. “Any town that is finding its identity needs art in it,” Hampton said. “We are in an area where people don’t necessarily know about contemporary art … New Jersey isn’t really known for art. There is this narrative that needs to be changed.” Aside from historical iconography that has existed for years in the city, includ-

Musicians on a Mission give back to community

usicians on a Mission, a local nonprofit organization, had two of its local bands performing at the Monmouth County Fair on July 27. The organization, which was founded in 2010, was conceived with the goal of using the power of music to create connection and inspire giving. Brenda Wirth, who is on the Board of Directors and serves as the treasurer of Musicians on a Mission, was at the fair with those bands to try and spread the word of what the organization is all about. “We put on musical events using local musicians at local venues and we raise money for small local charities,” Wirth said. Musicians on a Mission is currently working with more than 30 local charities, according to its website. The organization is always open to adding more charities to that list. “We want to let people know what we do,” Wirth said. “If you have a charity that you know something about, and it might be a little something that helps children or veterans or something, but you came to us and said you think this would be a good fit for us, we might be able to put on a little show at a local church or a local venue and then we charge admission, the musicians play for free, and we donate all of that money to that charity. It’s like everybody wins.” The musicians come from various places. All of the bands look to get more exposure and they can do that by working with Musicians on a Mission.

‘We provide a place for the musicians to play and it’s them giving back to the community. We were trying to figure out a way for musicians to give back and this does it.’ Brenda Wirth

Elaine Orzechowski performs with her band, The Cimarron Sky Band at the Monmouth County Fair on Friday, July 27. “It’s great because the musicians get to play in front of larger audiences than they would normally where a lot of local musicians play,” Wirth said. “Some of these bands were playing in local coffee houses and they get the chance to have a larger audience. We provide a place for the musicians to play and it’s them giving back to the community. We were trying to figure out a way for musicians to give back and this does it. Our musicians are very generous.” Elaine Orzechowski was at the

Monmouth County Fair on July 27 to play the first of two sets with her band, The Cimarron Sky Band. Orzechowski has been involved with Musicians on a Mission for several years. “I lived in Asbury Park, and a lot of the Asbury Park musicians were the core base of Musicians on a Mission,” Orzechowski said. “I played at some of their open mics and then I branched out and have my own band now. We still play some of the events and try to keep a hand in it. It’s a great organization and they do a lot for local

organizations and charities.” Orzechowski, who has been playing in bands since she graduated from high school, plays guitar, mandolin, keyboards and flute. The Cimarron Sky Band plays bluegrass and country. “We do a little bit of each,” she said. “We play a lot of shows each year dedicated to the classic ladies of country music. We did a whole series at the Ocean County Library for Women’s History Month and we do that every year, we have a lot of fun doing it.”

The second band representing Musicians on a Mission at the county fair was Michael Patrick and the Suburban Hillbillies. “We do a lot of country rock,” Patrick said. “We do a lot of covers, we used to do a lot of originals, but we like to get paid. We’re just happy to be here. It’s a nice event and I’m happy to be out playing on a nice Friday night.” Patrick has been involved with Musicians on a Mission since almost the very beginning. After meeting Jenny Woods, the co-founder, when she was selling guitar string-based jewelry, the two of them clicked. Patrick has been involved with Musicians on a Mission ever since. “Over the years, but not as much as I like to because we play all over the tri-state area, we try to get involved as much as we can,” he said.

Murals Continued from Page 2B ing the all-too-cheery, yet slightly gothic Wonder Bar cameo, the new art that can be found throughout Asbury Park could best be defined as oceanic hyper-surrealism. As an ode to the Atlantic Ocean, the murals are a mixture of pop culture and fantasy, components of which make each piece entirely unique and fit for the modern era. Since 2015, Hampton said, she has facilitated the creation of 31 murals in Asbury Park. On any given day, you can see people interacting with the murals, taking pictures alongside them and simply enjoying the beauty that is in front of them. Hampton said she admires the engagement the works receive from members of the public. “Asbury needed new iconography,” Hampton said. “The colors they are painting our town are as sad as a wall having no art on it. Somewhere in the lineage of the art world, in design sensibilities, someone has decided that gray is high-end. “I don’t want people to remember there are wooden walls holding up (structures) because of superstorm Sandy or because something is in flux. All of a sudden, you forget what those wooden walls represent, which is a work in progress. Now, you just remember the murals. You don’t remember things were once falling apart.” The Parlor Gallery is redefining the way art is perceived by the individual consumer, locals and visitors. Hampton, who was once referred to as the “The Mother of Asbury,” said that as a curator, her goal is to facilitate a personal relationship between individuals and the art they view, that is, if such a relationship exits. “I wish I could put a microphone on people when they come into galleries. They say, ‘I don’t get it. I could do that myself,’ ” Hampton said. “There is that narrative and it is interesting that this is a universal thing.” Hampton said the personal relationships that exist between works of art and the individual are the most meaningful in terms of exposure. “One of my goals in Asbury is to cre-

ate an artists’ residency here. The ocean is inspiring. I feel like the town is inspiring. I’m wondering how (Asbury) can change an artists’ body of work. You take yourself out of the studio and you put yourself in an uncomfortable environment to see how it changes your art,” Hampton said. Next up for a residency at the Parlor Gallery is trianglist Howard Schoor. Schoor’s art is defined by the use of the triangle. Trianglism is a concept that Schoor, a retired civil engineer, said is accompanied by a certain aesthetic he wants viewers to appreciate as he begins to define his identity in the art world. The inclusion of the triangle throughout the collection appears to represent Schoor’s desire for the continual use of the mechanics of precision – a quest for accuracy and symmetrically finite details. “I am trying to go into the depths of the art process and sell my art. I know I have a chance to meet people and tell them my story. Hopefully, it will resonate and they will buy some art,” Schoor laughed. Schoor’s exhibition may be viewed from July 28 through Sept. 1. at the Parlor Gallery, 717 Cookman Ave., Asbury Park.

few weeks ago, I peaked in the window of the newly relocated Cranbury Station Gallery on Palmer Square-now at 10 Hulfish Street next to Jazams-for a glimpse of artwork by my favorite Princeton landscape artist, Kathleen Maguire Morolda . I left with an entirely different picture – a scene of a dozen disabled individuals with looks of sheer joy on their faces. I had to go into the gallery to find out how I could purchase some of what they were exhibiting. Kathie Morolda, who also is the owner of the gallery, was the host to a paint party for residents of the Veterans Memorial Home, based in Edison. Usually she goes to the memorial home to conduct her paint parties for the veterans. This time the veterans were treated to a field trip to Princeton, where they found artistic heaven in the gallery and a visual treasure in Palmer Square. Ninety-nine-year-old John– who in his ‘youth’ was a professional artist – rediscovered his artistic talents thanks to his muse, Kathie. “‘Kathie, you have certainly made my day!’ ” says John to me after each class. I always tell him that, in fact, HE, has made my day,” said Kathie. John was so excited about his new lease on life that he invited his children to Princeton to observe the paint party. I quickly learned that the magical and transformative effects of Kathie’s paint parties are not limited to disabled veterans. Kathie convinced me (whose attempts at painting have been as pathetic as my attempts at cooking) to participate in a paint party on the evening of July 12. I am surprised that no one has noticed that my wrinkles and bags under my eyes have diminished without the benefit of air brushing or a facelift. I am 20 years younger, in spirit at least, than I was PPP (Pre Paint Party). People of all ages, all socio-ethnic backgrounds, and all professions participated with me in Kathie’s mid-summer paint party. The wannabe artists included: a 92 year old, downtown Princeton resident Mary Anne Haas, who has participated in about two dozen of Kathie’s paint parties; Millennials for whom the paint party was part of night out on Palmer

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B er Square; young Baby Boomers, who came out to celebrate a birthday and/or to get away from it all; and old Baby Boomers, like me, who came simply out of curiosity and coercion. What sets Kathie’s paint parties apart from others that I have seen advertised is that Kathie, instead of focusing on eating and drinking, emphasizes camaraderie, painting, and learninghow to create a piece of art “that really makes the participant proud,” said Kathie. The intoxication comes from the act of painting. In the no-stress, no-angst zone of the gallery, the party goers painters laughed a lot, made new friends, escaped all stressful electronic equipment and people at home/work, and came away with an arts “masterpiece” suitable for framing.. Kathie, who has been producing paint parties for groups and individuals in her gallery and in many other locations for about five years, handed me a brochure listing the benefits of painting: fosters creative growth; strengthens memory; nurtures emotional growth; builds problem solving and motor skills; offers stress relief; promotes an optimistic attitude. But I contend that all these benefits are due not only to the act of painting, but also to the painting instructor. I have known Kathie since she opened her Princeton gallery in 1983 and have been a fan of her upbeat demeanor and smile-inducing artwork in which her use of color is the key. As a Jersey gal “through and through,” she sees the natural beauty of her New Jersey environment – both urban and rural. She loves the variety of New Jersey’s landscape, particularly its brilliant color changes throughout the year, has

been the inspiration. The Jersey native lives in Monroe, where she built her first gallery and framing business within a renovated blacksmith shop behind her residence. The fact that she has built a successful business, raised four children (who are responsible for her six grandchildren), remained married, and is the caregiver to her severely handicapped brother is a testament to her nature and how painting has helped her keep it all together. Teaching has always been part of Kathie’s artistic picture. For years she has run a women’s watercolor workshop – two days at her Jersey Shore house in Lavallette with views of the ocean and bay. Even though the workshops cost a few hundred dollars, she donates a scholarship every year to a woman who is “going through a very tough time and could benefit mentally and perhaps even physically from the workshop. The selection process is run through the Princeton YWCA,” said Kathie. Her commitment to her community and to helping others has been recognized formally by community groups; she is the recipient of the 2007 Mercer County Business Woman of the Year; the 2007 State of New Jersey Business Woman of the Year; and the 2010 Princeton YWCA Tribute Award. “But my best reward, greatest satisfaction is seeing others find the same joy in painting that I find,” said Kathie, who convinced me to do a paint party with my six grandkids and their parents (if they are good) as a Christmas present. She would provide - and therefore wash- the full-body aprons (along with berets that the kids can keep), and she would be happy to host the party in her gallery, not in my house. http://cranburystationgallery.com/.

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

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

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

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

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

Q Q

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

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