Sears announces store closure at Quaker Bridge Mall By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
The Quaker Bridge Mall in Lawrence Township is losing one of its four anchor stores, following the announcement last week that Sears Holding Corp. is closing the Sears Roebuck and Co. department store at the regional mall as part of its business retrenchment. The Sears store at the Quaker Bridge Mall is one of 48 Sears stores nationwide that will close in September, according to a Sears Holding Corp. spokesman. The store’s auto center will close in late July. Liquidation sales will begin as early as June 14.
The number of sales associates impacted by the store closing at the Quaker Bridge Mall was not available, the spokesman said. Eligible associates will receive severance pay and an opportunity to apply for open positions at nearby Sears and Kmart stores. Municipal Manager Kevin Nerwinski said township officials were not surprised by the store’s closing. “As the municipal manager for the township, it is my desire to have businesses within our town succeed,” Nerwinski said. “It is certainly disappointing to have Sears close its doors in Lawrence, but certainly the challenges that the big traditional retailers are facing are well documented and
this news does not come as a surprise, unfortunately.” The decision to close the Quaker Bridge Mall store is part of an ongoing effort to streamline the company’s operations and focus on its best-performing stores, company officials said. The company will continue to evaluate its network of stores and make further adjustments as needed. Sears Holdings Corp., which includes Sears and Kmart stores, reported general revenues of approximately $2.9 billion during the first quarter of 2018, compared with revenues of $4.2 billion in the first quarter of 2017. Store closures contributed to two-thirds of the loss in revenue. The Sears store at the Quak-
er Bridge Mall, which has been identified by its parent company as one of many nonprofitable stores, is one of four anchor stores at the mall. The other anchor stores are Macy’s, J.C. Penney and Co., and Lord & Taylor. The building that houses Sears is owned by the Trustees of SRC Facilities Statutory Trust 2003A and not by the owners of the Quaker Bridge Mall. “SRC” is Sears Roebuck and Co. Sears completed construction of the building and opened the store in March 1977 as part of the second phase of the overall Quaker Bridge Mall development. The building totals 200,900 square feet - 182,000 square feet of retail space and
18,900 square feet of auto and service space. The property is assessed at $17.6 million. Property taxes totaled $491,905 for 2017-18, of which $93,015 was the municipal property tax portion of the tax bill. The rest was divided among the Lawrence Township School District and Mercer County. Once the store closes, the company would have the option to rent out space in the building or sell it, Nerwinski said. The company has the right to challenge the assessment, but would have to overcome the burden of proof with respect to the value to be successful in an appeal, he said.
Artist exposes local elementary pupils to modern type of art By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
The big green cargo container has been sitting on the edge of the Slackwood Elementary School playground, bordering on eyesore status, for more years than anyone in Lawrence Township can remember. But in the space of a few hours last week and guided by a professional graffiti artist, students transformed the cargo container into a piece of street art by using bold letters to spell out “Slackwood.” Graffiti artist Leon Rainbow was invited to teach the children about the art form by Slackwood Elementary School art specialist Jill Lee-You. It was all part of Art Week at the grades K-3 school. “For me, this is to give (the children) a little bit of understanding about art in general - to de-stigmatize graffiti,” Rainbow said. He explained that painting a design or a mural on a wall is graffiti if it is done with permission, but vandalism if it is done without permission. “Graffiti can be used in a positive way. It is a powerful tool, as long as it is done in a positive way,” said Rainbow, who has
been practicing the art form for many years. Rainbow, who grew up in California and moved to Trenton in 1997, was introduced to the art form when he saw a documentary about graffiti. He was about 7 or 8 years old and he became entranced by it. “I just drew and copied what I saw. When I was in my mid-20’s, I met a professional graffiti artist. He taught me the right way to do it,” Rainbow said. Graffiti artists draw a sketch on the surface on which they wish to paint. Once the sketch or design is completed, the graffiti artists paint within the lines. They use a variety of colors to make the design stand out. Last week, Rainbow sketched out the word “Slackwood” on the cargo container. The letters were not made in a conventional straight line. Some letters were higher than others. He made the point that graffiti art is a letterbased art form. “A lot of thought goes into it. There are little nuances,” he said, explaining that the letters are not evenly spaced or lined up. The two letters “o” in the word “Slackwood” are not on the same See ARTIST, Page 4A
School collects more than 1,000 pairs of shoes for charity drive By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
When physical education teacher Carlee Cimorelli registered the Ben Franklin Elementary School of Lawrence Township with the Soles 4 Souls nonprofit group, she pledged to collect 1,000 pairs of unwanted shoes. Cimorelli contacted a representative at the Tennessee-based nonprofit organization to register the school’s shoe drive, but the representative, while appreciative, was skeptical that Cimorelli would meet her goal. But when the last pair of shoes was counted, it turned out the students had collected more than 1,000 pairs of shoes, Cimorelli said. They collected 1,154 pairs of shoes, from dress shoes to athletic shoes, and everything in between. Soles 4 Souls gathers the unwanted shoes and sends them
to countries in Africa, Central America and South America, she said. The recipients may wear the shoes or they may set up microbusinesses to sell the shoes to earn money. If the shoes are in poor condition, they may be disassembled and the bits and pieces may be recycled. Cimorelli said she learned of Soles 4 Souls through a friend who was conducting a shoe drive. Cimorelli launched the Ben Franklin Elementary School’s first shoe drive last year and collected 994 pairs of shoes, and that is when she set the goal of collecting 1,000 pairs of shoes for the 2018 shoe drive. Shoes poured into the school. Students spent about 15 minutes every morning before school started to open bags of shoes, sorting them and organizing them into pairs.

Rays of Hope inspires young people to serve the community By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Standing in the cold and feeding homeless people in Washington, D.C., on Martin Luther King Jr. Day was one of the most memorable experiences in 18-year-old Nia Richardson’s life. Nia, who lives in Lawrence Township and is a member of Rays of Hope Inc., participated in similar efforts to help the poor and the homeless through one of Rays of Hope’s many community service projects. “This felt different because we were out in the freezing cold. It wasn’t organized, it was just people
coming up and we were giving out food,” said Nia, who is a senior at Princeton High School, where her mother teaches Spanish. “We gave out clothing. People didn’t have coats. They were homeless. We were freezing, but we had somewhere to go to get warm, and they did not have anywhere to go,” the young woman said. It was also the first time she and many of the young volunteers at Rays of Hope, most of whom live in Monmouth and Ocean counties, had seen people who were really in need, Nia said. “It made an impression on me,” she said. Nia has been active in
volunteer activities with Rays of Hope since she was about 9 years old. She became involved through her aunt, Lisa Hall, who is an assistant librarian at Lawrence High School. For their efforts, Nia and another Rays of Hope volunteer, Amaya White of Old Bridge, will be honored at Rays of Hope’s “Leadership Achievement” ceremony on June 23 at the Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Lakewood. Nia and Amaya will each receive a $1,000 scholarship Rays of Hope Inc. is a youth community service organization, Hall said. Most of the 60 or so members live in Monmouth and
Ocean county towns that include Manalapan, Jackson, Freehold and Howell. A handful of members live in Lawrence Township in Mercer County. The young people, who range in age from 8 to 18, meet monthly to plan and carry out community service activities such as participating in an Easter egg hunt for HomeFront clients, to handing out clothing and water to individuals who live in an encampment in Howell, near Lakewood. There is an educational component, too, Hall said. Rays of Hope holds quarterly leadership development workshops at which the chief executive officers
Micah Rasmussen named new director of Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
A Rider University graduate who studied under the late Professor David Rebovich, the founder of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics, has assumed the directorship of the Rider University-based institute. Micah Rasmussen took over the reins of the Rebovich Institute on June 1. He succeeds former director Ben Dworkin, who resigned in January to become the founding director of the Rowan Institute for Public Policy and Citizenship at Rowan University, Glassboro. Dworkin, who served as director of the Rebovich Institute for 10 years, brought in speakers such as Tom Ridge, the former secretary
of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Karl Rove, the senior adviser to President George W. Bush; and numerous politicians, from former governors James McGreevey, Thomas Kean, Brendan Byrne and Christine Todd Whitman, to now-Gov. Phil Murphy, state Senate President Steve Sweeney and U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson-Coleman. The Rebovich Institute was originally known as the Rider Institute for New Jersey Politics. It was established by Rebovich in 2001 and renamed in his honor following his death in 2007. Dworkin was named the director in 2008. The Rebovich Institute helps students gain experience in New Jersey politics through research projects, internships, service learn-
ing, job placement and career development. Students can network and study at the institute. Rasmussen, who graduated from Rider University in 1992, is a former press secretary to former Gov. James McGreevey. He led political campaigns for the state Senate and Congress. He also served as the communications director for the state Department of Transportation. Rasmussen, no relation to Scott Rasmussen of the Rasmussen Reports, which is a public opinion polling company, most recently worked as the vice president of executive communications for the Chubb Corporation, which is the world’s largest publicly traded insurance company. Rasmussen said he is indebted to Rebovich, who
helped him to gain a political internship working on a state Senate campaign as a student at Rider. Internships are an important component of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics. “Professor Rebovich was a mentor who played an out-sized role in shaping the direction of my career,” Rasmussen said. He said he is happy to be back at Rider, where he will have the opportunity to help students, just as Rebovich helped and guided him. Rasmussen also will serve as an adjunct professor in the university’s Department of Political Science. He has taught state, county and local government on the community
of various companies speak to the young members. “We want to inspire them to speak out. There are a number of kids who are shy, and some are running for class president. We really encourage them to be leaders and to have their voices heard,” Hall said. Rays of Hope Inc. grew out of the efforts of a group of young mothers who took their children with them to perform community service, said Hall, who was one of those young mothers. “We were a group of women who were interested in being involved in the community. It was instilled in us as children. I remember coming home from college and my mother had given my coat away (to someone in need),” Hall
said. “That (need to help) was in my mother and I think I got it from her. When I had my own children, I impressed on them that they always had to give back. What is great about young people is that they have the option to do it, or not,” she said. Hall said the young members came up with the name “Rays of Hope” in a contest. “We want to be a light, a ray of hope, to those who are in need. We want to give hope to them,” she said. For more information about the June 23 awards ceremony and opportunities to donate to the Rays of Hope scholarship fund, call Lisa Hall at 908-244-9000 or email contact@raysofhopeinc.org
WANNA SIP? Many foods and drinks, particularly fruit juices and sodas, contain acids that erode the enamel on teeth. As a result of this tooth erosion, loss of the protective enamel on the outer surface of your teeth can lead to tooth sensitivity, discoloration, and even tooth loss. However, some individuals who consume acidic drinks do not experience tooth erosion. To find out why, researchers conducted a study that analyzed the participants’ drinking habits (including the frequency, timing, and duration of dietary acid consumption). They found that sipping acidic drinks and swishing them in the mouth were associated with increased risk of dental erosion. The best way to minimize tooth enamel’s exposure to acidic drinks is to use a straw. Prevention is the keystone of good dental health. Through avoiding tooth-harming foods and
beverages, regular visits with the hygienist and dentist, plus good habits like proper brushing and flossing at home, we have more control than ever before over the health of our teeth and gums. We’ll help by providing dental care of the highest quality by extremely qualified staff members. Office hours are by appointment (609924-8300) at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, where “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.” Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com
P.S. Research shows that sugar-free soda is just as erosive for teeth as sugar-sweetened soda, and hot drinks have greater erosive potential than cold drinks.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Friday, June 8, 2018
By Michele S. Byers
Good news for globally rare swamp pink lilies How can you tell if an ecosystem is healthy? Take a look at the plants and animals living there. In New Jersey – especially the southern counties - one sign of healthy forested wetlands and headwater streams is the presence of the evergreen lily known as swamp pink (Helonias bullata). The plants produce a beautiful and unusual looking bloom, a grapefruit-sized cluster of tiny, bright pink flowers with blue anthers atop a long, slender stalk. They’re often found together with other sensitive species, including unusual orchids like the southern twayblade, and forest interior birds like Acadian flycatchers and prothonotary warblers. Swamp pinks were once abundant, but have declined sharply due to impacts from humans and white-tailed deer. The plant was federally listed as a threatened species in 1988, and in New Jersey it’s endangered. Humans dry out swamp
pink habitats by drilling too many wells, pave over aquifer recharge areas, and disturb land so that rainfall turns into sediment-laden floodwater. On the New Jersey coastal plain, humans chew through sandy uplands with bulldozers, destabilizing soil and causing headwater streams to become clogged with sand, burying the delicate swamp pink rosettes. Swamp pinks that survive the onslaught of human-caused habitat damage also must withstand overabundant white-tailed deer. Hungry deer eat the tender swamp pink flower buds shooting up in midApril, when food sources can be scarce. Deer also munch their evergreen leaves year-round. Some swamp pink populations that once had hundreds of blooms each April have been virtually eliminated by deer. On Mason’s Run in the Camden County borough of Pine Hill, wire cages placed around wild swamp pink plants proved that they can recover and
flower when protected from deer. But swamp pinks just got some good news in the form of a $250,000 federal grant to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to help preserve their habitat. The grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Cooperative Species Conservation Fund will go toward buying land along Cumberland County’s Cohansey River that contains swamp pink habitat. “This unique and beautiful wetlands wildflower is very sensitive to environmental degradation, so preservation of any land that supports swamp pink also preserves some of our most pristine land,” noted Ray Bukowski, the NJDEP’s assistant commissioner for natural and historic resources. “One of the best strategies for protecting swamp pinks is land acquisition,” said Alicia Protus, a biologist at the Fish and Wildlife Service’s New Jersey field office. “That will certainly help with stav-
ing off any development impacts.” Several projects will also help with deer impacts. For years, naturalist and photographer Michael Hogan of the South Jersey Land and Water Trust has expanded deer fence protection projects, building wire cages all across southern New Jersey and stewarding a five-acre fenced swamp pink population. Protus said two other deer fencing projects are in the works to protect South Jersey swamp pink populations. In addition, her department uses cages to protect individual plants or clumps of plants. The Fish and Wildlife Service also partners with groups to protect swamp pinks. “We have one Partners for Fish and Wildlife project in the works in Camden County,” explained Protus. Biologists plan to install deer fencing and cages around an important swamp pink population and track how the plants fare after installa-
tion. “The population has had a persistent herbivory issue for several years and has declined in number, so we’re hoping the fencing will give the plants an opportunity to bounce back.” The Fish and Wildlife Service also runs an “Adopt a Swamp Pink Population” program, in which volunteer citizen scientists monitor locations with known swamp pink populations and collect data on the size of clumps and how many plants bloom. Right now, about 61 percent of the world’s swamp pinks are found here in the Garden State. The southern counties – especially Cumberland, Cape May, Ocean, Salem and Burlington – are strongholds, although swamp pinks are also found in Atlantic, Gloucester, Camden, Monmouth and even small areas of Middlesex and Morris. Smaller populations occur in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina and Geor-
gia. Kudos to federal, state and private efforts to protect swamp pinks, which truly are “canaries in a coal mine.” By protecting the land around them and safeguarding clean water, we can hopefully restore their populations. For more information about swamp pinks and how to volunteer for the “Adopt a Swamp Pink Population” program, go to www.fws.gov/northeast/njfieldo ffice/Endangered/swamppink. html.

Artist Continued from Page 1A level, for example, but “everything has a reason,” he said. “You use colors to give it perspective. Everything is being done to support the word ‘Slackwood.’ Orange letters come off the green background. It is high contrast. Purple and green are complementary opposites. You want to make it basically ‘pop off,’ ” he said, describing the color choices. The children had fun filling in the letters with many colors of paint and they learned about graffiti as an art form. While some of the children have painted before, few had used a paint brush - the type house painters use - as large as those they used for this project. “I learned that art is great, no matter what it is,” said first-grader Evie Johnson. “It was really fun. I
like how you painted a pirate on the side (of the container). It was kind of hard to smooth out the paint.” Principal Jay Billy credited Lee-You with bringing Rainbow to the school. Inviting the graffiti artist gave the students exposure to a different art form than they would normally receive, he said. “We got rid of the big old green container and it became a piece of art,” Billy said. “It will be here for a long time. The children can come back in a few years and say, ‘I was part of that’ when they look at the container. “The whole goal is to create an experience the children will talk about for a long time. You can teach a lesson and they will forget about it. We want to create an experience they will remember for a lifetime,” he said.

Booker urges Princeton Class of 2018 to place emphasis on service By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on June 4 told graduating seniors at Princeton University to give of themselves and not measure success by academic achievement, in a speech that wove in anecdotes of people who have influenced him. “Life’s not about the degrees you get, it’s about the service you give,” he said as the keynote speaker during class day, a Princeton tradition dating to 1856. “That in so many ways, the opposite of justice is not injustice, it is inaction, it is apathy, it is silence. “Never forget that the biggest thing you can do, on most every day, is often just a small act of kindness, decency, love and caring,” he said to the class of 2018, which made him one of its honorary members. He told graduates of the nation’s top ranked university, according to U.S. News and World Report, they were “powerful.” “Power is not how physically strong you are, it’s how morally consistent you are,” he said. “Power does not come from your title. It comes from you telling your truth every single day in your smallest of actions, what you decide to do with the dollars you spend, how you notice the dignity of the person on the street, how you give one act of kindness more than you thought.” Booker spoke to an audience of seniors and other guests sitting behind historic Nassau Hall, the 18th century building covered with ivy and adorned with a 2018 banner serving as his backdrop. As the first black senator ever elected from
New Jersey, the Democrat gave a speech heavy on personal biography that delved into race. He shared how his father, Cary, grew up poor in North Carolina and later experienced housing discrimination when he and his wife tried to buy a house in the northern suburbs of New Jersey in 1969. “They were literally steered away from white communities,” he said. Booker, who would go on to graduate from Stanford, Oxford and Yale universities, recalled what his father once said about all of his son’s academic accomplishments. “My dad’s like, ‘Come on, boy, you’ve got more degrees than the month of July, but you ain’t hot,’ ” he said. His father, however, would not see him join the Senate. Cary Booker died six days before the special election in 2013 that sent his son to Washington, D.C. “Now, death can end a life, but it can’t end a love,” the senator said. “I missed him teasing me, I missed him making fun of me, I missed him reminding me to keep my feet on the ground, not to let my head to get too big.” In terms of his political resume, Booker is a former Newark councilman who later was elected mayor of the largest city in the state before he ran for the Senate in 2013. He won a special election that year to fill the term of the late Frank Lautenberg and then had to run again in 2014 for the sixyear-term he is serving. Booker said he keeps a map of Newark’s Central Ward, a place he first represented as a councilman and
in which he still lives, on a wall in his Senate office. He said “those were the folks that pushed me into politics, believed in me (and) took a risk on me.” Before being sworn in to the Senate, he said he and his mother visited U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who was a civil rights leader. “This is a hero to me, a giant, and I’m sitting in his office and the man is so humble,” Booker said of Lewis. He recalled how Lewis expressed how much it meant to him to see Booker become the fourth popularly elected black senator. He told the graduates of the example he saw in Lewis’ life. “He teaches that patriotism is love of country and you cannot love your country unless you love your countrymen and women,” Booker said. “You love them all. And he shows me that you can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people.” Booker has been the subject of media speculation about him possibly running for president in 2020, the same year in which he has to defend his senate seat. He did not address the issue during his speech at Princeton, although one Class Day student speaker made a light-hearted reference about that topic. Booker, 49, was born in Washington, D.C., but he said he had a lot of “Jersey pride.” “I cannot tell you how many fights I’ve had on the Senate floor over Jersey respect,” he said. “I have so much Jersey pride, if you cut me, I’d bleed Jersey.”

MERCER COUNTY NOTES Fresh-produce checks for qualifying older adults
Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes announced that older adults in Mercer County again will have the opportunity to receive fresh-produce checks that will enable them to purchase locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farm stands. Representatives from the Mercer County Nutrition Office will offer the checks on Friday, June 15, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Cooperative Extension of Mercer County, 930 Spruce St., Lawrence. Eligible older adults will receive checks to redeem fresh produce at various vendor sites throughout the County. Each person will receive five $5 checks that total $25 and are valid until Nov. 30, 2018. Checks will be distributed on a firstcome, first-served basis. “The Farmers Market Check Program offers older adults an increased opportunity to include a nutritious choice to their eating habits,” Hughes said. “It also helps the older adult who may be struggling financially to get the most for their money.” The Farmers Market program was developed to provide low-income older adults with checks they can use to purchase fresh produce grown by New Jersey farmers. The Mercer County Nutrition Program is the lead agency and coordinator in Mercer County for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and has been for a number of years. Qualifications are as follows: a single person’s
income must not exceed $22,311 per year or $1,860 monthly; a couple’s income must not exceed $30,044 per year or $2,504 monthly. Documentation is required for certification that includes: • Identity and residency proof • Driver’s license, utility/ phone bill or birth certificate • Income proof • Current income tax return, Social Security statement, Food Stamps/SNAP verification or Medicaid card The Mercer County Nutrition Project reminds older adults of these guidelines: • You must be 60 years of age or older and live in Mercer County to receive checks. • You must provide proof of income. • You may not pick up checks for anyone other than yourself, unless you are serving as a proxy. (IMPORTANT: Call the Nutrition Office for these details; see number below.) • Checks are to be signed in front of the farmers. Do not send signed checks to the market with a friend. The farmer has the right to refuse to honor them. • Checks may be used only at certified farm stands — not grocery stores. Stands will display a yellow poster indicating that they accept these checks. • Only one set of checks per person will be awarded each year. • Couples can each receive their own set of checks. For more information, contact the Mercer County Nutrition Program for the Elderly, Senior Farmers Market Program, at 609-

Flag ceremony in Hamilton Township
Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes and the Mercer County Office of Veteran Services invite citizens, civic groups and local Scout organizations to participate in an official flag decommissioning ceremony on Thursday, June 14, at 6 p.m. in Veterans Park (Klockner Road entrance) in Hamilton Township. In case of rain, the ceremony will be Friday, June 15, at 6 p.m. Each year, the Mercer County Office of Veteran Services partners with local veterans from the American Legion Post 31 and the Hamilton Township Patriotic Committee to hold the time-honored decommissioning, also known as “flag retirement.” American flags that have become tattered, soiled or are otherwise no longer fit for display will be burned in a dignified manner in a large pit during the ceremony and the flames will be doused by firefighters from the Nottingham Fire Company of Hamilton. Veteran Services has collected thousands of flags eligible for retirement from American Legion Post 31, private homes, the veterans section of Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton and government offices. Individuals and organizations that wish to have an American flag properly disposed of should bring the flag to any Mercer County office, including County Connection, Route 33 at Paxson Avenue, Hamilton; Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer Coun-
ty Library System, 2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrence; McDade Administration Building, 640 South Broad St., Trenton; and Mercer County Veterans Home, 2280 Hamilton Ave., Hamilton.

‘The Sum of Us’ at ActorsNet
went into David Stevens’ “The Sum of Us” knowing little about the play except the most basic description: It’s about a father who perhaps goes too far in letting his son know he’s OK with his homosexuality. I assumed it was a farce, but this is a sweet, funny and truthful play. It is indeed about a father and a gay son, and that drives much of the plot, but it’s really about parent-child relationships, what it means to be either of those, and what those relationships owe each other. ActorsNET of Bucks County in Morrisville Pennsylvania, is presenting “The Sum of Us” through June 17, and this is a charming, touching production with four excellent actors. “The Sum of Us” was first staged in the 1990s, and was adapted into a 1994 film starring Russell Crowe a few years before he became a star. The play is set in 1993, mostly in the home of Harry Mitchell (Tim Irvine) and his son Jeff (Daniel River). They live in the Australian town of Footscray, a suburb of Melbourne. Daniel is gay, something his father has always known. Jeff’s mother died in a car accident involving a drunk driver years earlier, and Harry has given his son a nice home and lots of support. Harry is a plumber, and this father and son live an uneventful life, but they’re close, bonding over their love for each other, and football (what we Americans call Rugby). About the biggest complaints Jeff has is that his father doesn’t turn the faucets completely off and makes the same frozen meals over and over. The father wants his son to be happy, and like many parents, he feels a need to give his son a push, to encourage him to take a chance on love and happiness. Greg hasn’t gotten over his last breakup, with a man named Kevin who moved to Sydney. “A terrible thing happened to him, he fell in love,” Harry tells the audience. Now he’s afraid Jeff will spend his life alone, and Harry knows firsthand that’s not fun.
Jeff is smitten with Greg (Rocco Angelastro), who he met a bar and has a date with. Harry is a liberal parent, encouraging his son to bring his dates home and have them spend the night. As things get romantic between Jeff and Greg, Harry emerges from his room. This leads to the play’s funniest scene. Harry sits between Jeff and Greg, and let’s Greg knows he’s more than welcome to spend the night, and that Greg can call him Harry, even Dad, as they drink their Foster’s. Harry is sad to learn that Greg isn’t out to his family. “This is Jeff’s home, if he can’t be himself here, where can he be?” Harry says. It’s a wonderful line, and Irvine delivers it with sincerity and love. Greg tells Jeff he has to leave, and this is where the play goes in unexpected directions. It’s not that Harry is annoying and over-stepping his boundaries. Sure, he hangs around a few minutes too long, but Greg is upset because he sees in Jeff and Harry’s relationship, what he doesn’t have—a father’s acceptance. “It hurts a bit,” Greg says. “It makes me feel guilty, about what we do.” Angelastro gives the best performance in the play. He acts not only with his words but his entire body. He is clearly a man seeking things in life, love and acceptance, and yet he’s scared of getting them. He and River are great together, the sparks fly, not just out of physical attraction, but because these two people see the potential for true love in each other. Act 2 opens on Christmas, and Jeff is in a funk. He’s been staying home a lot. He has his dad, and his “blokes” but he tells Harry, “There’s an empty part of my heart Dad, and it’s an important part,” River delivers the line perfectly. Harry has started to date, through personal adds in the paper (ah, the ’90s). He starts a relationship with Joyce (Laurie Hardy). He wants to marry her, but will See SUM OF US, Page 9B

‘The Music Man’ at Music Mountain Theatre
ew shows entertain a crowd like “The Music Man.” Meredith Wilson’s legendary 1957 musical has a terrific story, lots of laughs, romance, and great songs, some gentle and sweet, others rousing. Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville is presenting “The Music Man” through June 24, with a production that is impressive and fun, but not perfect. Set in 1912, the action begins on a train car filled with traveling salesmen. It’s a terrific opening, as the actors jostle their bodies about as if they’re riding a train. They share their secrets to success during the number “Rock Island,” where the dialogue is sung rapid-fire to the rhythm of the train. Someone mentions Harold Hill, a con man ruining the sales business for everyone because he shows up in towns, swindles the residents out of all their money, and leaves counting his cash. The next salesmen to show up, even legitimate ones, are then run out of town. As the train approaches River City, Iowa, one of the salesmen says it’s a hopeless town to succeed in. That prompts Harold Hill himself (played by Rhett Commodaro) to emerge from behind his newspaper and announce that all this talk of the town being a challenge inspires him to give River City a shot. Upon arriving, Harold runs into his old friend Marcellus (played by David McCloughan Jr.). Marcellus has gone legit, settling into small town life and dating a local woman, Ethel Toffelmier (played by Laura Baker and Erin Looney on different nights). Harold’s scheme is to convince towns they need a boys band, selling instruments, uniforms, books, and promising to teach the kids to play. Instead, he just sells the goods and leaves town. Marcellus tells Harold the billiard parlor has a new pool table, which leads to Harold warning the town of the dangers of pool in the brilliant number “Ya Got Trouble.” There is a problem though, the billiard parlor is owned by Mayor Shinn (played by David Whiteman), but he isn’t too bright and doesn’t pose much of a threat. As Harold plans his scheme, he actually affects people’s lives for the better. He gets four men who do nothing but bicker to sing beautifully together. He helps build up the confidence of Winthrop, a young boy with a lisp, and he also encourages a troubled youth named Tommy Djilas (Tyler Hentz) to change his ways. Tommy, incidentally, is smitten with Zaneeta, the mayor’s daughter. Meanwhile, Harold is falling for Marian Paroo (Elizabeth Honan), the town’s librarian, piano teacher and brother to Winthrop. Or is Harold scamming Marian? It

Rhett Commodaro leads the cast through “Ya Got Trouble” in “The Music Man.” turns out his typical con involves wooing the local music teacher because they know enough about music to see through Harold. His plan works. As Act 2 finishes, Marian destroys evidence that Harold isn’t who he says he is, But I never felt Harold was touched by the good he was doing in town, or even that he was aware of it. Everything seems to be happening around Harold. The music was a bit loud during Act 1, with the recording overwhelming the singing. Much better was the a capella number sung by the four bickering men — “Sincere.” Those four singers, Louis Palena, Erik Snyder, Roger Madding and Bill Weir, are terrific together, and didn’t have to contend with the recording. Honan is the star of the evening, her voice is spectacular, and all of her numbers brought the house down. You’re not likely to hear songs like “Goodnight, My Someone,” and “Till There Was You” sung better. She also brings an intelligence and sincerity to the role, Honan’s acting is just as good as her singing. Whiteman gets laughs as the befuddled mayor, particular a scene where he keeps trying to give a speech starting
with “Four score and seven years ago.” A funny running bit is the mayor and those four men asking Hill to see his license. Hill assures them he can get it right away, but distracts them with compliments and praise. That joke leads to the quartet singing a top-notch version of “Lida Rose.” This production also includes what may be the best sets of Music Mountain Theatre’s inaugural season. The train set is clever, the town’s center is marked by building facades for the local bank, hotel and billiard hall. Also nice are small pieces that set scenes, such as Mary’s front door, and a foot bridge that plays a key scene. Most importantly, these different set pieces were set up quickly, which kept the pace of the evening swift, for the most part. Also excellent are the costumes by Jordan Brennan and Travis Gawason, Brennan also directs, and does a nice job, especially with big numbers utilizing this big, and talented, company.

Writing the book on Princeton’s eating clubs Clifford W. Zink, longtime Princeton resident, had a great time at Princeton University Reunions. He gave a talk on Friday afternoon, June 1, in McCosh 28 that attracted an estimated 140 people. On June 2, he dined at the eating clubs, greeted alumni with hugs and handshakes, and wore a big smile matching the smiles on the faces of the alumni reconnecting with their classmates. Zink, however, is not a member of any Princeton class. His Ivy League connection is a graduate degree from Columbia University. He never has been on Princeton University’s payroll as a faculty or staff member. He is neither a parent nor spouse nor son of a Princeton alumnus or alumna. His closest Princeton University connection prior to November, 2017 was the fact that he lives a few blocks from campus on Aiken Avenue. Zink’s newfound PU celebrity occurred when the Princeton Prospect Foundation announced the publication of Zink’s book, “The Princeton Eating Clubs.” During reunions, Sandy Harrison, a member of Princeton’s class of ’74, and board chair of the Princeton Prospect Foundation, was distributing fliers describing the book as “captivating.” with photographs both old and new that describe “for the first time, the origins, evolution, and

breaking alumna Sally Frank attended Clifford’s lecture at Reunions. In 1979, Frank, class of ’80, filed a lawsuit against Ivy Club, Tiger Inn, and Cottage Club because they did not accept women. In 1990, the Supreme Court of New Jersey, arguing that the clubs are public facilities, ordered the last two remaining male-only undergraduate clubs at Princeton University to begin admitting women. The book is a meticulously researched documentation of bricks, mortar and architectural history of the clubs. Even without the sturm und drang of the clubs’ human behavioral history, the publication, in my opinion, is a glorious page turner for the images and trivia about buildings that I have looked at for 40 years, even written about extensively in the context of town/gown relations. Thanks to Zink, I now appreciate Prospect Avenue as a street museum of art, architecture and history. Thanks to Harrison’s editorial input, each “club” chapter has a section listing notable alumni whose contributions to society are collectively mind-boggling. The name that stood out for me in the context of the current political climate was that of Robert Mueller, class of ’66, and member of Cottage Club. The Princeton Prospect Foundation chose Zink for the project, because of his reputation as an historic preservation consultant and an historian specializing in architectural, industrial, engineering, and landscape history. He assists clients in preserving, rehabilitating, and interpreting historic sites, and has received historic preservation awards for numerous projects from state, county and local agencies. Zink received the 2011 John A. Roebling Award from the Society for Industrial Archeology’s Roebling Chapter for an outstanding contribution to documenting the industrial heritage of the greater New York-New Jersey area. His seven books have received six awards, including and the 2012 New Jersey Author’s Award in popular nonfiction from the N. J. Studies Academic Alliance for The Roebling Legacy. The original purpose of the Eating Club project, according to both Zink and Harrison, was unrelated to a goal

Sum of Us Continued from Page 2B Joyce accept his son? That’s the crux of their scene, and Hardy and Irvine play it perfectly. John Boccanfuso and Hayley RubinsTopoleski co-directed and also designed the fine set. By the end, one character has pretty much given up, while the other thinks things will work out. And I cared
about these characters so much, that I have my fingers crossed that the latter is right. “The Sum of Us” is being performed at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 Delmorr Ave., Morrisville, Pennsylvania through June 17. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sat. 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20, $17 seniors (62 and up); www.actorsnetbucks.org; 215-295-3694.
Loose Ends Continued from Page 8B of publishing a book. In 2016, the Prospect Foundation contacted Zink to bolster the permanent documentation on file with the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. The clubs are listed as significant contributing properties within the historic district, but Zink said the descriptions of the clubs architectural and historic significance were thin and not holistic. “The clubs have put out commemorative books individually, but nothing lately and nothing looking at all of them — no one collected the full story of the history and architecture, “ he said. “Before this book, never had there been a book that comprehensively described the early evolution of the clubs with a particular emphasis on their architecturally significant design and features,” Harrison said. When Zink submitted the information comprising comprehensive facts, artwork, and photos (old, new and even photos captured by drones), the Prospect Foundation decided the information and visuals were so compelling that they had to be preserved as a book. Zink, who has authored several beautiful historic and architectural books, was tasked with creating a publication that was academically credible but informational, and aesthetically appealing to a non-academic audience. In March, 2017, he began compiling the book, which went on sale in November, 2017. For me, however, it is difficult to separate the stripes from the tiger — or the architectural and historic significance of the buildings from the people and activities within the physical structures. The New
York Times article about the Sally Frank decision cites F. Scott Fitzgerald’s description of Ivy Club as being “detached and breathlessly aristocratic.” I wondered whether something about the club physically perpetuated that reputation. Or did Cottage Club’s spectacular library — a replica of the 16th-century Merton Library at Oxford University — contribute to the creativity of F. Scott Fitzgerald (who was a member of Cottage Club) or to the investigative genius and discipline of Robert Mueller? Even Harrison, a member of Terrace Club, was unable to describe Terrace Club’s unique physical characteristics (the only club on Washington Road and the only structure that previously was a professor’s home, that of John Hibben) without talking about the club’s personality. It is a non-bicker club (anyone can join), said Harrison, and always has been on “the progressive leading edge” on social issues. In addition, Terrace is renowned for its music culture — the best live music scene on campus, “a premier small music venue in New Jersey,” Harrison said.. And Sally Frank probably was smiling during Reunions as she strolled along Prospect because she not only was reconnecting with old friends, but also was aware of the fact that nine of the 11 clubs have women as their presidents. I vote for a sequel that gets into the heart and soul, the warts and beauty marks that have infused the bricks and mortar of the Princeton Eating Clubs for the past 140 years. The book is for sale at Labyrinth Books, 162 Nassau St., Princeton.

The challenges with todays real estate market are educating the public on real estate relationships and the importance of working with a human rather than a virtual realtor or these new discount brokers. You really do get what you pay for. We provide exceptional service and our company has the BEST tools available to give our buyers and sellers the the best possible service!
Q
. What are the buyers/sellers advantage to be working with you? A. From Princeton we reach the WORLD and with us you get 2 Realtors working twice as hard for you. We have strong family values and we are lifelong residents as well as experts in Mercer, Somerset, Hunterdon and Middlesex Counties.
Q

It’s our mission to provide outstanding service, after all this is one of your biggest life decisions.
Q
. What do you do in your freetime when you are not working? A. Kelley works mostly, but enjoys fishing, the outdoors, the Jersey shore and family – and of course her cats! Alice is extremely talented in crafting with gourds, gardening and loves spending time with her dogs, grandchildren and her children – in that order.
Q
253 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542
. What do you like most about living in the area you also work? A. We both love the country but love the convenience of being close to town, we love where we live and work and want you to as well! That is our goal. For us it’s a FAMILY TRADITION!
