Former Merck official talks about potential COVID-19 vaccines By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
The former president of the Merck Vaccine Division of Merck & Co. believes that despite ramped-up efforts to develop a vaccine against COVID-19, scientists are more likely to develop anti-viral treatments first. Gordon Douglas, M.D., spoke about COVID-19 and what it takes to develop a vaccine in the May 18 episode of Princeton University’s podcast, “We Roar.” The podcast is a production of Princeton University’s Office of Communications. While the Trump Administration is pushing for a vaccine to be developed by the end of 2020, Douglas said a more realistic timetable would be 12-18 months – and even that would be “a very optimistic forecast.” “Getting a new vaccine licensed is a huge accomplishment. It really is not done anywhere near as frequently as you think,” said Douglas, who belongs to
Princeton University’s Class of 1955. He graduated from Cornell Medical School in 1959. Douglas has been a practicing physician and also has been a medical investigator, medical school professor and a consultant for the Dale and Betty Bumpers Vaccine Research Center at the National Institutes of Health. Douglas pointed out that vaccines, such as those that were developed for polio, measles and chickenpox, took around 10-15 years to create. The only two vaccines that were developed in a shorter time span were those for mumps and ebola. They took four to five years to create, he said. “I think 12-18 months is a very optimistic forecast for this incredible job of developing a COVID vaccine and making enough to ensure that the entire world can be immunized,” he said. It is possible to reduce the time that it takes to create a vaccine, starting with the careful design of clinical studies, which would help to shorten the clinical
development timeline. It is not a simple process, he said. While the clinical studies are under way, a pharmaceutical company would have to be prepared for large scale manufacturing of the vaccine, he said. Assuming a vaccine is successfully created, a two-dose vaccine means preparing 700 million doses for use in the United States, Douglas said. Manufacturers would have to make billions of doses “because we really should make enough vaccines for every person on this planet,” he said. Each dose would have to be perfect, which is a “huge bio-engineering challenge,” he said. Meanwhile, the Center for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations has estimated that there are more than 100 potential COVID-19 vaccines in active development, Douglas said. “There is a race to get there. A lot of people really want to make this vaccine and they want to do it as rapidly as possible. They want to be the ones who do it,” Doug-

The first phase of underground work for upgrades to the traffic signals on N. Harrison Street, aimed at making it safer for pedestrians and bicyclists, has been completed, Princeton officials said. Mounds of dirt, asphalt patches and safety cones mark the areas where the work has been completed on the underground construction at the intersection of N. Harrison Street at Hamilton Avenue, and N. Harrison Street at Franklin Avenue. JC Contracting Inc., which was awarded a contract for the project by the Princeton Council, will return to the job site in a couple of months when the signal equipment has been delivered. The contractor will install the new equipment and complete the road and sidewalk repairs. The Princeton Council awarded a $740,340 contract to JC Contracting, Inc., which is based in Rahway, at its Dec. 16, 2019 meeting. Bids for the project ranged from JC Contracting’s low bid of $740,340 to a high bid of $923,013 submitted by Earle Asphalt Co.
The Municipality of Princeton was awarded a $674,071 Safe Routes to School grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation last year to make improvements to the two key intersections on N. Harrison Street. The goal is to make it safer for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the street. Town officials will make up the difference between the grant amount and the contract amount. The town has money available in its capital accounts to cover the gap between the grant and the contract. The traffic signals at N. Harrison Street at Hamilton Avenue, and N. Harrison Street at Franklin Avenue, will be replaced with new traffic signals that allow pedestrians and bicyclists to push a button to change the traffic signal so they can cross the street. Other improvements include handicap accessible ramps to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, an audible alert and countdown heads, and automatic traffic signal changes for emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire trucks. Also, a new layer of asphalt will be laid in the intersections, and regulatory warning and pedestrian signs will be installed. The intersections will be restriped to include “stop” bars for vehicles, and crosswalks for pedestrians and bicyclists. The two intersections are used by school children to reach the Princeton Charter School on Ewing Street, and Princeton High School on Moore Street and the John Witherspoon Middle School on Walnut Lane. The project had its genesis in 2014, when Princeton Charter School parSee TRAFFIC LIGHT , Page 6A
build the manufacturing plants. “I would do it today. That’s the way you would get a vaccine in 24 months. I don’t think we’re going to do it in 18 months, but 24 months is a target if you do everything the way I just described it,” he said. Douglas recalled that when he arrived at Merck, the company was attempting to develop a vaccine for HIV. None of the vaccines worked, but the research led to the development of anti-viral drugs, he said. “With COVID-19, I think we’ll get anti-virals before we get a vaccine. They are easier to develop, and there are a number of them in clinical trials now,” he said. Scientists are gaining a better understanding of COVID-19, he said. “Anti-virals will come along. I predict there will be some pretty good anti-virals for COVID-19. I can’t tell you exactly when, but I would think soon – and I think sooner than a vaccine,” Douglas said.

las said. But many of those potential vaccines will not be successful, he said. Only about 10% of the potential vaccines would likely made it past the first phase of trials, so it becomes a process of “winnowing out” all of the vaccines that will not work, he said. “You have to select the vaccines that will work. You need to build the manufacturing plant now, at the stage of early clinical development, before you know exactly which one is going to win,” Douglas said. He said that as many as eight or 10 manufacturing plants would have to be built now, at a cost of about $1 billion apiece. All told, shortening the timeframe to develop a successful vaccine comes at a high price, he said. Douglas said he likely would appoint a panel of the top vaccinologists and ask them to look at the 100-plus proposed vaccines. The panel would pick the ones most likely to be successful, and arrangements would be made to

Princeton Board of Health looks to increase messaging as restrictions ease statewide By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
Messaging will continue to be one of the key tools used by Princeton officials against potential incidents of failed social distancing as the town eases into re-opening. Princeton’s Board of Health has discussed increased messaging to decrease the potential occurrence of residents not adhering to social distancing or face coverings when moving through town. “Right now is a challenging situation because a lot of the executive orders from Gov. Phil Murphy supersede a lot of local action at the moment. As long as we are under the executive orders, they constrain both the municipality, council and boards authority,” said George DiFerdinando, chair of the Princeton Board of Health. “We always still have the bully pulpit, but there are a lot of people competing for that pulpit at the moment. So messaging is a real
challenge.” Princeton’s official messaging site for COVID-19 related recommendations, news and information is princetoncovid.org. The site is constantly updated to provide the latest up-to-date information for residents. “Fred Williams (spokesperson for Princeton) and the princetoncovid.org website (messaging) is so important right now as our main authority,” said DiFerdinando, during a Board of Health meeting on May 19. According to Williams, there have been opportunities to educate members of the public when police officers observed any behavior contrary to the executive orders. “We have had cooperation from the people which led officers to issue verbal warnings rather than making an arrest or issuing a summons,” he said. Councilwoman Leticia Fraga reiterated the importance of messag-
ing when it comes the Princeton’s Board of Health authority. “The Board of Health has more authority than other municipal boards, commissions and committees do,” said Fraga, who is the liaison to the Board of Health. “Messaging regarding the importance of face coverings and social distancing, that is something we are going to keep pushing. The board gets questions as does the council on whether we can enforce that, is not something that is being considered.” She added that rather than doing enforcement they should encourage the recommendations such as face coverings. “If we see someone that is not wearing a face covering, the best thing we can do is offer them face coverings when available rather than policing. Because it may be that someone just does not have access to one,” Fraga said. “We are going to keep messaging.”

Trenton doctor, national organization supply personal protective equipment in Trenton By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
A local Trenton physician and community organization teamed up to provide much needed supplies for frontline health care workers and senior residents in Trenton. Dr. Vedat Obuz, an internist affiliated with the Capital HealthRegional Medical Center, and the Turkish American National Steering Committee (TASC), a community advocacy organization, began their local support in the area by donating personal protective equipment (PPE) in the thousands to frontline healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 outbreak at the Medical Center in Trenton on May 13. “The driving force for me to get involved is that I have worked in Trenton for more than 20 years. I am part of Capital Health-Regional Medical Center where we donated the equipment,” Obuz said. “This is a community-based hospital and I realized we were going to be having a high surge of patients coming to the hospital and knew that supplies would dwindle. My good friend, TASC National Co-chair Halil Mutlu, asked me to find the right place to donate these goods. I said the Capital Health system was the place.” Helping others before himself is a key philosophy for Obuz and

as soon as the coronavirus pandemic began he started to think of ways to get involved with helping fight the virus on the front lines. “This was my niche and felt that I have done a good job of getting things together,” Obuz said. “TASC should get most of the credit. I am just a mediator and coordinator. I should not get any credit it should go to all of the people that provided these supplies.” Capital Health-Regional Medical Center received donations of 1,000 COVID-19 HAZMAT gowns, 2,500 face masks and are set to give hospital staff 1,000 N95 masks and 1,000 face shields. TASC has support from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Turkey and receives
specifically when the virus hit New York. “When they realized how difficult the virus was going to be, they knew supplies would be needed and began reaching out to connections in Turkey,” Obuz said. During the week of May 16, the donation of PPE was not the only way Obuz and TASC helped the Trenton community. They donated a two-week food supply on May 15 to the Reading Senior Center in Trenton for their seniors that also included 2,500 donated washable masks. “From fresh fruits, dry goods to supplies, we wanted to help the elderly at the Reading Senior Center strengthen their immunities. One of my office practice locations is in the heart of Trenton
PPE equipment from manufacturers in Ankara the capital of Turkey, according to Obuz. “People donate the money for the goods and the next step will be going to the Turkish Government Ministry of Health and getting permission to export the equipment from Turkey to send to the United States,” Obuz said. “The manufacturers create the equipment mainly for the Turkish health system and any oversupply or overstock they send to us with permission from the government.” He added that none of the equipment is from the black market, but all from the manufacturers in Turkey. TASC reached out to Obuz once the COVID-19 pandemic hit the east coast of the United States,
and I am talking to patients who are stuck in their homes about they need,” Obuz said. “Some of the elders were not able to go out shopping and did not have help. I have a relationship with Reading Senior Center for 15 years and wanted to give them a hand.” He added that he wanted to have the elders get at least one reusable mask for themselves or possibly two and three with the donations. “I want people to take away the idea of getting involved and doing good. People need to get involved in bring goods to people,” Obuz said. “People who need us sometimes do not verbalize it. We need to open the discussion and door. All I did was open the door and realize what they needed.”
No new cases of COVID-19 reported in Princeton since May 23 Seven of the 24 deaths have been deemed “probable positive expired” by the Princeton Health Department. Officials began including “probable deaths” May 8 in reports, based on the evaluation of death certificates and cross-referencing against lists provided by long-term care facilities. Meanwhile, the number of Princeton residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 has begun to level off and stands at 173, officials announced May 27.

To be eligible for testing, it is necessary to be examined by a primary care physician, officials said. The physician will decide whether a test is needed and issue a prescription for the test. There is no charge for testing at any of the Mercer County testing sites, which includes the drivethrough site and appointment-only, walk-up sites in Trenton and Hightstown.

Green investments are critical to strong economy
T
he coronavirus hit hard, infecting more than 1.5 million residents in the United States and triggering the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. New Jersey is at the epicenter of the pandemic, with more COVID-19 cases than any state except New York. Thanks to difficult but essential social distancing and reduced travel, the coronavirus is hopefully loosening its grip – at least for the time being – and the public health emergency is slowly improving. Our state and nation must now rebuild the economy while protecting health and safety at the same time. Where to begin? How about investing in clean energy, parks and trails, and stronger protections for our waterways? These green investments will help the economy recover, create new jobs and make communities healthier and safer. Tim Sullivan, CEO of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, recently identified clean energy as one of biggest opportunities to successfully restart the state’s economy. Sullivan also co-chairs the Governor’s Restart and Recovery Advisory Council, tasked with plotting a course for reopening and repairing our economy. In an op-ed on the ROI-NJ.com (Return On Information) business news site, Sullivan wrote that the clean/renewable energy sectors “are poised to add significantly to the state’s climate, energy, environmental and economic resilience.
“We should push harder than ever to prioritize the development of the offshore wind industry, and to make the package of resiliency- and environmental-justice driven investments outlined in Gov. Murphy’s Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative strategic plan.” Here’s some solid evidence that green investments can yield real bangs for the bucks: • Climate change – A new global study on fiscal recovery shows that climate-friendly policies would benefit economies and the environment. “The COVID-19 crisis could mark a turning point in progress on climate change,” according to a report in the Oxford Review of Economic Policy. The report recommends that industrialized countries invest in “clean physical infrastructure,” such as solar or wind farms and upgrading electric grids. It also recommends retrofitting buildings to improve energy efficiency, projects to restore or preserve ecosystems, and research into clean technologies. • Renewable energy jobs – Renewables like solar and wind create more jobs per unit of energy delivered than coal or natural gas, according to a 2010 study published in the journal Energy Policy. Stimulus spending on renewable energy also yields more jobs than fossil fuels. While $1 million in stimulus spending on oil and natural gas would generate roughly five jobs, the same amount invested in wind and
solar would result in 13 to 14 jobs, according to a 2009 report. • Energy efficiency – The Economic Policy Institute, a national nonpartisan think tank, found that $50 billion in building retrofits and smart grid investments would support 445,000 jobs across the United States, or 8.9 jobs per $1 million invested. • Higher pay – Workers in clean energy earn higher and more equitable wages compared to all workers nationally, according to the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. Mean hourly wages in clean energy exceed national averages by 8% to 19%. Clean energy wages are also more equitable; even workers at lower ends of the income spectrum can earn more per hour than in other jobs. • Parks and trails – Investments in parks, trails and open space and historic preservation contribute to the economic recovery and public health. According to the Trust for Public Land, 23 jobs are created for every $1 million of direct agency spending on park operations, and 16 jobs for every $1 million of direct agency spending on capital improvements. A study by the East Coast Greenway Association found that 17 jobs are created for every $1 million invested in trails. • Ecosystem services – Preserving natural lands provides ecosystem services like filtering impurities from water and preventing flooding. These conservation benefits equate to a strong return on investment, with
Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber to honor four female professionals during virtual awards ceremony The Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber will hold its Women of Achievement awards ceremony virtually from 10-11 a.m. on June 18. Dr. Kemi Alli of the Henry J. Austin Health Center, Caryn Barnes of Langan Engineering, Judith Hutton of YWCA Princeton and Ana Montego of the American Red Cross are the 2020 honorees. Hutton is the CEO of the YWCA Princeton and the former executive director of Anchor House. As a new executive in 1983, she led Anchor House with a mere budget of $35,000. Today, she serves on the Anchor House Foundation and helps that organization raise almost $500,000 each summer with its annual Ride for Runaways, according to information provided by the chamber. Today, at the YWCA Princeton, she deploys a $5 million budget and dedicates $400,000 to $500,000 of the organization’s annual revenue to scholarship. She oversees the YW’s Breast Cancer Resource Center, English as a Second Language Program, Latinas Unidas, the HiSET Testing Center, the Young Wonders Child Development Centers and Stand Against Racism with other YWCAs both nationally and globally, according to the statement. From all-girls competitive robotics, to dance and arts and crafts, to book clubs, to educational lectures and seminars, to a Newcomers Club that welcomes people from all over the world, more than 5,000 participants use the programs and services led by Hutton each year. Hutton has served as president of the Garden State Coalition of Youth & Family Concerns, was named Mercer County’s
NM-00428622
Professional of the Year in 2004, and received the 2014 Community Leader of the Year Award from the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce. Concurrently, she received a national award from the US Department of Health and Human Services in recognition of her work with groups including the Youth Services Commission, and the National Network for Children and Youth, according to the statement. Barnes is a leader of Langan’s environmental practice with nearly 30 years of experience in all aspects of environmental investigations, soil and groundwater remediation, community outreach and site closure. She has worked extensively in New Jersey on DEP- and EPA-led projects. She is an active participant in the development of regulations and guidance, and is on the forefront of investigating and remediating emerging contaminants. She is the immediate past president of the New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professionals Association, according to the statement. Barnes is a co-founder and corporate leader of Women@Langan, a women’s initiative program started in October 2014 to foster an atmosphere of mentorship and support to empower women to achieve career and personal success. In 2015, she was honored with the Growing Great Women in the Garden State award by the New Jersey Society of Women Environmental Professionals. As a recovery executive for the American Red Cross, Montero oversees the Hurricane Maria Long Term Recovery Program in Puerto Rico. A native of Puerto Rico, she contributed to the Red Cross relief efforts after hurricanes Irma and Ma-

ria, serving in external relations leadership positions. In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, as assistant commissioner overseeing housing programs for the State of New Jersey, she led the state housing task force to assist individuals displaced by the disaster. She was appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy to serve on the Commission on Puerto Rico, according to the statement. Montero previously served as regional chief executive officer of the American Red Cross New Jersey Region. She was responsible for all Red Cross disaster services, volunteer management, service to the Armed Forces, fundraising and external relations within the state. Montero joined the Red Cross in 2014 as chief operating officer of the Los Angeles Region. She was responsible for overseeing the region’s overall operations and facilities, as well as leading various Red Cross programs. Her work with the Prepare SoCal Campaign involved partnering with businesses, local government and community organizations to develop community coalitions focused on creating resilient communities. Prior to the Red Cross, Montero served as assistant commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. During her 14 years in public service, Montero also served as executive director at the Department of Labor & Workforce Development and the Department of Human Services. Dr. Alli has been the CEO of Henry J. Austin Health Center since 2015 where she served as chief medical officer from 2008. She has been a pediatrician with Henry J. Austin for over 22 years. Alli has done webinars, speaking engagements and conference presentations across the country on healthcare systems improvement, including topics on advanced access, integrated care and telemedicine. She led several primary care enhancement initiatives to reduce health disparities, improve patient health outcomes and access to care for those most underserved. She has participated in numerous advisory panels across the country, most recently serving on the Health Resources and Services Administration, Workforce Well-being Technical Advisory Panel or the New Jersey Department of Health’s, Integrated Healthcare Advisory Panel helping to shape the regulations for integrated care and substance use treatment services for the state of New Jersey, according to the statement. Alli founded the Trenton Health Team and serves on boards including the Central Jersey Family Health Consortium, the New Jersey Primary Care Association, the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute and Thomas Edison State University. Tickets for the awards ceremony are $30 for members or $40 for future members. Ads and sponsorships begin at $50; ad deadline is June 8. Visit web.princetonmercerchamber.org
a national average of $4 returned in natural services for every $1 invested. This return can be as high as $11 in some states. The bottom line is that we don’t have to choose between a clean, healthy environment and a strong economy. We can have both. In fact, evidence shows that economic health declines when the environment is degraded. Fortunately, New Jersey is planning for a clean energy future where most of the state’s energy comes from clean, renewable sources like solar and offshore wind. This is in stark contrast to the current administration in Washington, D.C., which is pushing for dozens of environmental rollbacks, putting clean water, air and public health at risk. Now is the time for New Jersey to double down on its investment in clean energy, energy efficiency, open space, parks and trails. These green investments are sure to appeal to millions of people here in the nation’s most densely populated state who have developed a newfound appreciation for natural lands, parks, clean air and water, and open spaces during the pandemic.

instantly recognizable as a Jeep, the all new 2020 Gladiator is the ultimate vehicle for any outdoor adventure,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of the Jeep brand, North America. “There is tremendous demand for this unique vehicle from our loyal Jeep customers and pickup truck buyers everywhere.” Yes, quite true. Taken unto themselves, the pickup truck and Jeep segments of the automotive market have been on fire the past few years. As most market research indicates, traditional sedans are struggling for market share while SUVs, crossovers and pickups have taken over the automotive landscape. So, maybe Chrysler is onto something by combining two of the hottest segments into one neat package. While I am not totally sold on the idea yet – I am more of a traditionalist – I will say there is an awful lot to like in the new Gladiator model that makes it an extremely
versatile on and off-road vehicle with a great utilitarian touch by adding the five-foot pickup bed on the back. Like a traditional Jeep, the Gladiator doesn’t boast of precision handling or a soft ride, but, quite frankly that’s not where the strengths of this vehicle are. The strength is obviously in its ruggedness, versatility and extreme off road capabilities. While I found that driving the Gladiator was comfortable and entertaining enough, where it thrived the most was in the dirt. Once I pulled off the main road and on to the sandy, muddy paths of my South Jersey Pinelands, that is where this vehicle excelled. The oversized tires and coil spring rear suspension contribute mightily to this vehicle’s off road capabilities. Alongside the center console shifter was a second shifter that lets you select 2H for rear wheel drive, 4H for four wheel high and 4L for the down and dirty four wheel drive low situations. The Gladiator chews up sand, rocks and mud with a vengeance. You can throw a ton of stuff in the back pickup bed – a bike, kayak, barbecue grill – on your trip into the great outdoors and still have ample room in the four seat cabin for five full-sized adults and a dog. Moreover, once you get where you are going, there is a “toy like” novelty to this unique vehicle. So, once out in the woods or down to the beach, you can remove the hardtop and doors in sections and the windshield folds down as well. Quite cool. For now, the Gladiator is offered in four models – Sport, Sport S, Overland and Rubicon – that all get the same engine, a 3.6 liter, 285 horsepower, six cylinder powerplant. My tester came equipped with the optional 8-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission is also available. Jeep does have future plans to offer up the Gladiator with a turbo
diesel engine sometime in the future. The base price of the Overland Gladiator is $40,395. My tester came equipped with $13,445 in options. When you add in the $1,495 destination charge, the MSRP sticker price came in at $55,335. Some of the pricier options included are: $2,000 for the 8-speed automatic transmission; $1,495 for an optional equipment package that includes leather seats and leather wrapped brake handle and shift knob; a $995 cold weather package that includes heated front seats and steering wheel and remote start; $995 for a premium lighting package; and $1,195 for a “Black Freedom Package” that comes with a 3-piece removable hard top, rear sliding window and rear window defroster. The EPA fuel economy ratings for this vehicle are 19 miles per gallon (MPG) overall – with 22 mpg on the highway and 17 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the average annual fuel cost for this vehicle is $2,150 as it uses about 5.3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. As far as the government’s 5-star safety ratings, this vehicle has not yet been rated by the government for overall vehicle score, frontal crash, side crash or rollover risk. It comes standard with a threeyear, 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty with a five-year, 60,000 mile limited powertrain coverage. Overall, I would have to confidently admit, that if you are an active lifestyle individual or family person, this would be an excellent vehicle to give serious consideration to when looking for a vehicle to match your lifestyle.

LOOSE ENDS
By Pam Hersh
Princeton artist Ryan Stark Lilienthal
Ryan Stark Lilienthal’s “Small World Coffee” oil painting features the recently deceased Princeton University professor and math genius John Horton Conway.
I
n the current phase of social isolation life, I became particularly nostalgic for social mingling, when I walked past Small World (the smaller one on Nassau Street) on Memorial Day weekend. I saw a crowd of people awkwardly trying not to hang out near one another, as they were taking advantage of Small World’s “contactless” ordering/paying and no seating. I gazed at the sterile scene, closed my eyes, and suddenly pictured the vibrant congeniality of Small World in 2020 BC (before COVID). I saw Princeton University Professor John Horton Conway and his eclectic group of buddies at 7 a.m. sitting at a small table inside Small World. They were laughing, pontificating, joking, solving the world’s problems,
ria a
and happy to be in each other’s company. It was an easy picture for me to conjure up. I had witnessed the Conway morning gathering myself, but maybe even more searing on my psyche was the award-winning oil painting by Princeton artist Ryan Stark Lilienthal, who had captured the image of John Conway and his Small World neighborhood bonding ritual. The painting, titled “Small World Coffee,” was particularly poignant, because Conway, known as the “Magical Genius of Math,” just died a few weeks ago – a loss that coincided with the loss of the simple but exhilarating joy of getting together over a cup of coffee. Dr. Conway made profound contributions to number theory, coding theory, probability theory,
topology, algebra and more — and created brilliant games from it all. His extraordinary life ended on Saturday, April 11, when he died of the coronavirus in a New Brunswick nursing home. But in my brain, his most profound contribution among all of his worldrenowned academic accomplishments was his celebration of friendship. His little morning gathering consisted of neighborhood residents of all different economic and professional backgrounds, but with one shared quality – a passion for humanity, community, and gabbing. Ryan, who lives with his family around the corner from the Small World Coffee gathering spot, loves his “Tree Street” community and finds great joy in translating the ambience onto canvas.
The paintings, he said, use soft colors, light, and shadows, transparency and opacity and tell stories in their own way as evocative as the stories told by Dr. Conway and his friends. In the artist’s statement on his webpage, Ryan captured in words why his art – depicting daily rituals, casual routines and the ordinary – is so meaningful to me these days when memories of camaraderie and community are washing over me. “In my recent work I explore what it means to have a sense of home and to know more intimately what I see and experience every day. My subjects are my neighbors, and what I portray is my neighborhood. In painting them I’ve come to appreciate an ephemeral landscape that lies within. Early on, my vision had been held hostage to the line separating one object from another. But life is not thus constrained. Rather than line, my work now lingers on shape, color, light and shadow. Distinctions remain, but separations are softened. Each moment I render, even those that are still, slip into life’s flow,” he said. Art critic and nationally known photographer Ricardo Barros further expounded on the particular appeal of Ryan’s “community” paintings. “Ryan Lilienthal … holds his footing in the space he inhabits. Rather than retell what we already know about … Princeton, he focuses on the quiet, more intimate landscape of daily experience. Daily rituals – casual routines so familiar that we are often blind to them, and customs that grow ever more precious with the passage of time – are this painter’s subject. “Ryan’s paintings are instants vividly seen. In many ways, they are unremarkable events excerpted from life. They depict moments of poignancy. His paintings show us an array of unassuming gestures and interactions we later realize constitute meaning in personal ex-
perience,” Mr. Barros said. Ryan’s models never posed in a studio, just interacted with Ryan who etched the images and mood in his mind’s eye. “When John came to Small World in the morning, he was always wearing T-shirts that were math jokes. He and the others talked about everything, mundane, political and trivial. He even set me straight about my name. I thought Lilienthal meant Lily of the Valley. He told me that Lilienthal means Valley of the Lilies.” Known for years as an immigration attorney, Ryan now practices law only “tangentially,” in order to spend most of his time working as an artist. He is inspired by his family (wife attorney Rachel Stark, and three sons); community (he was a former Princeton Borough Council person and ongoing community activist for a variety of social causes); and, of course, his neighborhood’s personalities like John Conway, who found fun in the most intellectually challenging topics. Ryan, perhaps inspired by this fun/challenging juxtaposition, has been working on mixed media creations literally and figuratively drawn from a national conversation around the Mueller report. For the first artwork in the planned series, he cut up 36 pages of the report and painted on top of the pieces of paper to reflect visually the themes of opaqueness and transparency so prevalent in the words of the report. Each of the four pieces is a metaphor for different aspects of the report and the controversy around it. COVID, for the time being, has thwarted exhibitions of any of Ryan’s works. I truly look forward to when I not only can attend exhibits, but also have a conversation about them over a cup of coffee at Small World, which, by the way, should give Ryan’s Small World Coffee picture a permanent home. It would make a great conversation piece.
COVID-19 affects improvement for Parkinson’s patients; Rock Steady Boxing provides movement to relieve symptoms By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor
The COVID-19 virus has been hard on everyone, especially the elderly and people with compromised immune systems, such as those with Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Due to Gov. Phil Murphy’s orders, Retro Fitness of Kingston, located in Princeton, had to close, which meant the Rock Steady Boxing program for those with Parkinson’s did as well. “[W]e were very worried about the degree of progressiveness it can cause if our boxers weren’t doing any kind of physical exercises during the course of the day. With that in mind, for our last class before shutdown we invited our Parkinson’s primary caregivers, spouses and siblings to come and join us,” said Shelley Mengo, a certified coach at Rock Steady Boxing of South
Brunswick, which is located inside Retro Fitness. “They were able to participate and see what kind of program they could safely do at home as well as illustrated exercises for range of motion and balance. Since most would not have gym equipment such as weights or exercise bands, they were given modifications for an exercise and whether in class or not we always encourage an open line of communication,” Mengo said. Exercise is important for anyone as a part of healthy living, but for Parkinson’s patients exercise is more than that. “It’s a strong dose of medicine. It is a vital component to maintaining a life, their daily activities. It’s about balance, mobility, flexibility and helping with fatigue, which is a common symptom with PD. “Through a daily exercise routine, studies have shown it can improve many PD symptoms while
slowing down the progressiveness,” Mengo said. “Exercising is not always fun so we encourage them to find exercises they like, mix it up bit and go with it.” As a boxer trains for things like speed, agility and balance, the classes focus on functional movements, hand-eye coordination, alleviating stiffness and increasing strength. The possibility of virtual classes using a free web conferencing platform is being considered, Mengo said. “Although we agree there are benefits, there will be challenges to assess. As coaches instructing classes in person, we are able to monitor our boxers – safety is very important. Everybody with PD has a different limit with exercise. We can determine the best type and amount of exercise one may need to start off with or advance to. “Having a virtual classroom and not physically being on site,
we would need to know our PD boxers have a capable coach/spotter along side them while performing the suggested exercises. “Making sure of their safety, making sure they are hydrated, and taking proper rest periods are always considered during class. Lastly, there is a liability involved so waivers would have to be signed prior to registering for a class online,” she said. Mengo’s husband Peter was diagnosed in April 2017 with PD. His symptoms started out as slight hand tremors, but gradually other symptoms were becoming more noticeable, she said. The disease affected his gait, created stiffness and his daily tasks became an effort. Mengo said her husband was referred to a neurologist who is a movement disorder specialist for Parkinson’s. While the family was waiting for Peter’s confirmed diagnosis,
Annual HiTOPS Trans Youth Forum will celebrate progress in trans community

The sixth annual HiTOPs Trans Youth Forum returns virtually for trans and nonbinary youth on June 6. According to HiTOPs, the forum created by trans and nonbinary youth is free to youth seeking to participate in the event. The virtual event begins at 11 a.m., includes a break from 1:452:30 p.m. and finishes at 4:45 p.m. with a closing celebration and raffle. This is the first time in the forum is being conducted virtually due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. HiTOPS is a Princeton non-profit organization that fosters young
Charter School parents reached out to town officials about how to get the children to school safely. There are crossing guards at the two N. Harrison Street intersections in the morning and in the afternoon, but the time does not mesh with the start and end of the school day for the Princeton Charter School and the Princeton Public Schools, officials said. When officials learned of the grant opportunity from DOT to replace the 40-year-old traffic signals, they jumped on it and succeeded in winning the grant. “Princeton is fortunate to

Ginny Scaduto, who is Peter’s sister, was approached by the CEO of The Parkinson Alliance in Kingston – who is a member of Retro – who asked if she knew anyone who might have Parkinson’s, and informed her about a program called Rock Steady Boxing located in Illinois. “Peter and I are making the best of this situation,” Mengo said of the novel coronavirus crisis. “He faithfully exercises at least an hour or so each and every day. We also box together. We walk a couple of miles as long as the weather permits. He knows the importance of the words ‘keep moving.’ He lives it each day.” Rock Steady Boxing of South Brunswick is located at Retro Fitness, 4437 Route 27, Princeton.

Surveys have shown that more children would walk or ride a bicycle to school if they felt safe, so that’s why the Safe Routes to School project is so important, Lempert said. School Board President Beth Behrend said the intersection at N. Harrison Street and Franklin Avenue has been a school traffic bottleneck for years. School district officials are grateful for the grant, she said.

Princeton University students share love of music through Creative Reactions Contest How might one visually represent the experience of going to a Princeton University Concerts event? Thirty-two Princeton University students, both undergraduate and graduate, signed up to take on this challenge as part of the sixth annual Creative Reactions Contest, one of several programs sponsored by the concert series to engage students in classical music. Getting free access to a range of Princeton University Concerts offerings – including traditional concerts, Performances Up Close with audience seated on stage, Live Music Meditations, and the annual Chamber Jam – the students were offered the chance to anonymously submit a drawing of their experience, with an accompanying artist statement about their work. The contest submissions were due at the beginning of April, after students transitioned off campus to a remote curriculum. As a result, the contest took on a new role: a respite from the stress of adapting to this new environment. After two rounds of judging – the first by Princeton University Concerts staff, and the second by local artist Marsha Levin-Rojer, Lewis Center for the Arts lecturer and former Hodder Fellow Mario Moore, and staff graphic designer Tom Uhlein – one winner and five honorable mentions were awarded. Alyssa Cai, a senior in the Class of 2020, received first place and $1,000 for her colored pencil drawing in response to a Live Music Meditation with cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras. First year students Nazdar Rosna Ayzit, Eliana Gagnon and Sam Melton, Class of 2023, and sophomore students Helen So and Sandy Yang, Class of 2022, received honorable mention and $100 each. The winning submissions are posted online and distributed publicly by Princeton University Concerts. Below is information taken from their bios on the website: In her accompanying artist statement, Cai shared, “As I sat down in the soaring space of Richardson Auditorium and gazed up at the geometric scaffolding, I felt enveloped by a golden light. Jean-Guihen Queyras’ playing was beautiful, and as I settled into the sounds of the strings and the silences – a wonderful component of reflection during meditation session – I felt transported to other worlds. I could close my eyes and imagine a scene of complete serenity, an escape from the stresses of Princeton, which is what I tried to convey in my work.” From a young age, Cai’s family shared music by singing and playing the guitar and harmonica. While piano remains her main instrument, she also participated in school bands on the flute and mellophone. She recounts participating in the Rose Bowl Parade and President Barack Obama’s second Inaugural Parade with her high school band as particular highlights. She brought her love of ensemble playing to the Princeton Pianists Ensemble during her undergraduate career. Cai entered the Creative Reactions Contest intrigued by “idea of making art according to a musical experience, which is not something I’ve tried before. Working through the aural and visual inspiration of the concert ignited a fresh form of thinking and creating art that— something I hope to continue experimenting with.” Ayzit is a first-year student, hailing from Istanbul, Turkey. She is considering a concentration in Economics, and Certificates in Creative Writing and Entrepreneurship. Having played the piano for eight years and attended classical music concerts and operas in Istanbul, she now describes herself as “an occasional performer, singing in the dorm showers.” Missing the artistic pursuits in her life which have been overtaken by the demands of her academics, Ayzit entered the Creative Reactions Contest as a way to make
time for music and art and to reconnect with what she has “always loved the most: to get inspired and to create.” The all-Beethoven program that Ayzit attended for the contest, performed by violinist Isabelle Faust, cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, and pianist Alexander Melnikov, was the first concert that she attended on campus. For her, “music, arts, and stories are all faces of the same complex, beautiful story of a life,” a concept that she translated into a pencil drawing narrating an imaginary story that she found within the music. “My emotions during the concert were floating freely with the music in the air of Richardson, enwrapping and tickling each soul there until they landed on their vessel, the lady next to me. She was there alone, just like me … just after the piano began to set the scene, and the cello began to flirt with the violin in all its playful nature, the perfect lady leaned her cheek to her palm and sighed. Never have I seen such a scene of palpable memory, offering the tiniest glimpse for a bystander like me to a life richer than her pearls, deeper than the auditorium. For the duration of the concert, she stayed in that pose, lost in lived moments of music.” Gagnon is a first-year student who is considering a concentration either in Psychology or in the Practice of Art, with an interest in African American studies. Having always been an avid music lover, both as a violinist and as a listener of a wide range of genres, she attended a Performance Up Close program with pianist Gabriela Montero as part of the contest. This was Gagnon’s first encounter with a Princeton University Concerts event. Inspired by Montero’s improvisations on popular themes suggested by the audience, Gagnon submitted a drawing of a representational figure through which she conveyed the eradication of distance between Montero and herself through the music.“I could feel the music coursing through my veins, as though I had become one with an instrument I previously had no connection to,” she shared in her accompanying artistic statement. Melton is a first-year student planning to major in Civil and Environmental Engineering. As a pianist, occasional guitarist, and composer, she entered the Creative Reactions Contest to combine her passions for music and drawing. An active participant in the arts on campus, she writes for the Princeton Triangle Club, and is looking forward to having the Princeton University Players produce a staged reading of her original musical next academic year. Although Melton enjoys many different styles of music, she had not heard a lot of live classical music before coming to Princeton. The concert that she attended for the contest, featuring the Calidore String Quartet, was the first Princeton University Concerts event that she experienced, and she looks forward to “seeing even more live classical music in Princeton in the future.” Fond of doing architectural sketches, Melton was initially inspired by Richardson Auditorium. Hearing music within the hall compelled her to relax away from the structure and embrace a more free-flowing and colorful approach to her drawing. “The music felt like it disrupted the rigid columns of Richardson Auditorium – and the rigid structure of my typical day.” The resulting piece, a colored pencil drawing, sets four colorful musicians and a dynamic representation of their music against the detailed backdrop of the concert venue. So is a sophomore in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, with a deep love for music. While she has played the piano for more than 13 years, she also plays the violin and clarinet.
Community means everything.
“Music is a crucial part of my life,” she said. “My piano is not only an instrument for artistic expression, but also a dear friend, one that I can vent to with Rachmaninoff and express my joys to with Chopin.” So attended a recital by pianist Gabriela Montero as part of the contest, for a program that included both composers, as well as improvisations. The final improvisation was performed in dedication to the dire political situation in Venezuela, Montero’s home country. For her artwork, So “wanted to capture the emotional connection Montero managed to create with the audience during her concert … to illustrate that culminating moment where she took that audience connection and played that song [for Venezuela], somber with a touch of hope, with her whole being … to illustrate her concert’s joy, darkness, and sense of reciprocity.” Yang is a sophomore pursuing a concentration in Molecular Biology with a Certificate in Global Health. Having played the piano throughout her childhood, she continues to turn to the instrument as a way to de-stress and spend time with her little sister, who plays the guitar and ukulele. Yang remembers hearing pianist Lang Lang perform live when she was in elementary school, and since then she has enjoyed attending student performances and classical Chinese music concerts. “Music and art are both incredibly close to my heart,” she said, “and I thought the Creative Reactions Contest was an exciting and unique way to be able to connect them and to foster a sort of appreciation for music that I hadn’t before.” Yang attended a concert in February featuring violinist Isabelle Faust, cellist JeanGuihen Queyras, and pianist Alexander Melnikov as part of the contest, in her first Princeton University Concerts experience. Describing herself as a visual person, Yang depicted her ability to hear narrative within music in an artwork that portrayed the musicians and concert hall transforming into an imaginative landscape. As a first time participant of the contest, she encourages other students to participate in future years.

Princeton Farmers Market officially kicks off its summer market season By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
The Princeton Farmers’ Market opened its 2020 summer market season with new safety protocols and a new location. Summer Market Season returned on May 28 as the Princeton Farmers Market operated in the Franklin Avenue parking lot, a temporary location for the market. Previously, the market’s location has centered on Witherspoon Street at Hinds Plaza. Working with Jeff Grosser, the Princeton health officer, the parking lot location and safety guidelines were organized to ensure the safety of shoppers and vendors during the coronavirus pandemic, according to Max Hoagland, market manager. “We want to call this new location ‘tem-
porary’ as much as we can. Hinds Plaza is not too small but one of the main things we noticed was there is not a real way to govern where people are coming from. There are two entrances to the plaza from the garage and people can come from either side of the sidewalk along Witherspoon Street,” Hoagland said in briefing the Economic Development Committee. “We want to have a place that has extra space and could separate the tents and provide extra spacing to make everyone comfortable without sacrificing too much of the downtown location.” He added that they are addressing issue of bringing the market back to downtown. The farmers market will continue every Thursday through November. “Our website currently has guidelines that we are revising to make more under-
standing to our customers and to pair with a map of foot traffic flow,” he said. “Vendors will sell to customers one at a time and will be putting down tape and chalk line cues in the parking lot so customers can be aware of their space and others’ space.” He added that customers won’t be able to browse produce, check things out or taste samples. “We are going to continue to update the guidelines at a weekly basis as things clear up or rules are added to the market,” Hoagland said. Safety guidelines include the requirement of masks and face coverings for all market shoppers; trying to limit your time at the market to less than 30 minutes; recommended limit of shoppers to two shoppers per household; and mandatory social
distancing of 6 feet. “We have been working with vendors to get everybody on board for as much as they can for pre-payment and pre-ordering, so people can place an order days in advance and just pick up at the farmers market,” Hoagland said. “We primarily left payment systems up to vendors.” The Princeton Farmers Market is also still accepting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits and matches $10 per shopper each Princeton Farmers Market day. There will be a EBT market-match mobile terminal available on the day. According to Hoagland, the May 28 return of the summer market season will be an opportunity for insight about adjusting or adapting moving forward.

Fellowship in Prayer donated COVID-19 funds to nine area organizations.
Fellowship in Prayer recently made multiple donations to support local efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nine organizations have each received $2,500 to support their operations: Arm in Arm, Capital Area YMCA, HomeFront, Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County, Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, Princeton’s Children’s Fund, South Brunswick Food Pantry, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen and Womanspace. “It was the right time for our organization to redirect resources to support the essential work of these organizations. The current crisis required us to rethink our short-term funding priorities. We encourage other funders to do the same. All we can say is, ‘Thank you and keep up the good work,’ David Newton, board president, said in a prepared statement. Since 2015, Fellowship has awarded more than $535,000 in grants and donations to support a broad selection of non-
profits. Local beneficiaries have included HiTOPS, Princeton Buddhist Meditation Group, La Convivencia, Princeton Community Housing, Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, Mt. Pisgah AME Church, Centurion, Elijah’s Promise, Africa Summit at Princeton, and a number of projects associated with Princeton University’s Office of Religious Life. Fellowship maintains a labyrinth behind its building at 291 Witherspoon St., Princeton, open to the public from dawn to dusk. All are welcome to walk its path. Fellowship in Prayer is a 71-yearold nonprofit grant-making organization based in Princeton. Its mission is to encourage and support a spiritual orientation to life; promote the practice of prayer, meditation and service to others; and help bring about a deeper spirit of unity among humankind.

The Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) has received an expedited payment of $25,000 from a multiyear grant from the Fund for Women and Girls. Additionally, the fund has removed the grant’s funding restrictions so that LALDEF can use this money to respond to the community’s most urgent needs resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. Currently, LALDEF is in the second year of a three-year $75,000 grant in support of FUTURO, a youth mentoring program for first and second generation immigrant students who are determined to go to college, according to information provided by LALDEF. The grant will also be used to support clients, many of whom have lost their jobs due to the pandemic. Currently, LALDEF’s legal consultation fees are waived so that clients are still able to receive desperately needed legal assistance without having to worry about making a payment. Legal services help immigrant victims of domestic violence, those fleeing an ongoing armed conflict, and those eligible under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), among many others. “We are grateful for the continuing generosity of the Fund for Women and Girls as they continue to apply their wide-lens thinking to this time, where our most vulnerable communities are most impacted by the pandemic, to support all our efforts to
continue providing services most needed by our regional immigrant community,” Dina Paulson-McEwen, executive director of LALDEF, said in the statement. “We are additionally grateful that the Fund recognizes how important it is to support high school youth, as they are advancing towards their new chapters in their lives as college students and young adults, and in particular, to honor and support the women students who currently make up the majority of our cohorts.” Founded in 2004, the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund is a social impact organization whose mission is to promote the rights of all immigrants by facilitating access to health care, education, and legal representation; advocating for the integration of immigrants; and fostering intercultural communication to strengthen our communities. To learn more, visit laldef.org. Founded in 1998, the Fund for Women and Girls is a field-of-interest fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation. It is a diverse group of community members who together invest in nonprofit organizations that improve the lives of economically vulnerable women and children in greater Mercer County. Last year alone, the Fund made grants of nearly $200,000 to over a dozen nonprofits serving women and children in Trenton, Hightstown and Princeton.

Nominate a Purple Heart hero for national recognition The National Purple Heart Honor Mission is opening the nomination process for its 2021 Purple Heart Patriot Project. This multi-day salute to service will bring together Purple Heart heroes representing each state and territory in the nation to pay tribute to their courage and sacrifice on behalf of a grateful nation. One Purple Heart recipient and an escort of their choosing from each state and territory will again be selected for an all-expensespaid tribute filled with tours and ceremonies honoring their service and that of all those who have earned the Purple Heart. The fourday Patriot Project Mission will feature visits to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, historic Washington’s headquarters where the Badge of Military Merit originated in 1782, and a private tour of the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor – the museum dedicated to paying tribute to our nation’s combat wounded. Other special tribute events are also being planned. “Our nation’s Purple Heart recipients have made extraordinary sacrifices for our freedom,” said National Purple Heart Honor Mission Executive Director, Russell Vernon, Col. USA Ret. “These brave men and women who bare the physical scars of war, saved the world from the darkness of Nazism, communism, fascism and terrorism. This tribute is a reminder to all of us that their sacrifice will never be forgotten. For some, it is the homecoming they never had. For others, it is an opportunity to connect with their fellow Purple Heart recipients and share stories only they can fully appreciate. For all Americans, the Patriot Project, it’s a reminder of the cost of freedom.” It is estimated that more than 1.8 million Americans have been awarded the Purple Heart for being wounded in action or making the ultimate sacrifice for the nation. “The honorees we will select symbolize what it means to be humble heroes, who served, sacrificed and continued to serve their communities,” Vernon said in the statement. Anyone can nominate a Purple Heart recipient they know. Nominations must include a short description (up to 250 words) of why their nominee is deserving of this special recognition. Submissions can be sent via email
to Info@PurpleHeartMission.org or submitted via www.purpleheartmission.org/patriotproject. Nominations will be accepted until Aug. 31. The Honor Mission will select three finalists from each state and territory and a national panel of Purple Heart recipients and other distinguished Americans will select the final honorees. A complete list of honorees will be announced nationally on Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Video footage of the 2019 Patriot Project Mission and interviews with select honorees can be found at http://bit.ly/PHHonorMissionVideos. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, which was established and expanded through the vision and work of the Honor Mission, today is operated by the New York-New Jersey Palisades Interstate Park Commission. The National Purple Heart Honor Mission is an approved 501(c)3 national charitable organization that provides a range of tribute programing to honor our Purple Heart heroes and preserve their legacy. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, Inc., DBA the National Purple Heart Honor Mission is an approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which supports a variety of programs to promote the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, pay tribute to Purple Heart recipients, and educate all Americans about our combat-wounded veterans to ensure those who sacrificed for freedom are never forgotten.

Sourland Mountain Spirits triples staff to increase production of hand sanitizer Sourland Mountain Spirits (SMS) has increased production of hand sanitizer to provide more personal protection against COVID-19 as businesses throughout the state gradually reopen. In late March, SMS transformed its craft spirits distillery into a small hand sanitizer factory that allowed the staff to use its prime ingredient – alcohol – to help protect first responders, according to a statement from CMA Solutions. The company’s solution contains 80% alcohol, which surpasses the requirement to kill a virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, SMS is ready to deliver its protective solution to help businesses as they navigate the “new norm.” “As New Jersey begins to open up, we want to open our form of personal protection to all businesses during this next stage of the pandemic,” Ray Disch, founder/CEO of SMS, said in the statement. “Thanks to community support, we have hired 10 people to fill, label and package our product who were furloughed from bars and restaurants to help us keep pace with the growing demand.” To date, the distillery has delivered more than the equivalent of 30,000 8-oz bottles to the
craft spirits, including gin, bourbon and vodka. In 2020, its Flagship Gin won a gold medal and best in category award from the American Distilling Institute, according to the statement.

Q
. Where did you grow up? A. I grew up in Rockaway NJ in a lake community called White Meadow Lake which is in Morris County. After high school, I attended Ramapo College of New Jersey in Bergen County to obtain my Bachelor Degree in Business. I purchased by first condo in Middlesex County and now I live and raise my family in Hillsborough in Somerset County. I love Hillsborough and it’s central location to everything. I’m a life-long Jersey Girl at heart and understand the demographics and housing market in different communities.
Q
. What do you see in the future for Real Estate sales and prices? A. In my 25 years of selling real estate, I have seen markets swing in varying degrees. I have sold in buyers’ markets and sold in sellers’ markets. Although it is very hard to predict the future, the real estate market has been very strong the last couple of years. Interest rates are at an alltime low so many first-time homebuyers are trying to get into the market. I also see an increase in the number of investors looking to enter the market.
Q
. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? A. In addition to being with my family, I like to stay active by working out, biking and walking. I also recently completed my first Rugged Maniac race. For the past 10
years, I was a volunteer for the Fresh Air Fund where I was the chairperson for all of Somerset and Hunterdon County. I was responsible for recruiting families to host inner-city children for summer vacations. We were also a host family and enjoyed having kids at our house all summer.
Q
. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? A. First, I take a very honest and comprehensive look at my client’s situation, family, financial goals, and the marketplace. Next, I build a relationship with my client and embrace their goals as my own. Finally, I accept a high level of responsibility for my clients’ satisfaction and achievement of these goals.
Q
. How long have you worked in real estate? A. I started in the mortgage business after college and decided to transition to real estate in 1992. I worked as a sales associate with the Top Producing Agent at Prudential NJ Properties. We were the #1 Award Winning Sales Team in the entire company. I switched to Keller Williams Realty in 2013 and have been a Top Producing Agent as well as the Director of Agent Services. I was also involved in the New Agent Mentoring and Training Program.
Q
. What is your specialty? A. I love working with first time homebuyers. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone purchase their first home. I also work with investors. I have invested in many properties 2230 Route 206, myself, I’m currently a landlord and I have successfully Belle Mead, NJ 08502 flipped homes. This gives me the experience and 908-359-0893 insight into these markets. In addition, I also sell in a lot in adult communities since many of my clients are downsizing.
