Voters will make selections on Primary Day, June 5 By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

East Windsor Township and Hightstown voters will go to the polls next week to choose candidates for an array offices in the Democratic and Republican party primaries. Polling places will be open June 5 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The winners will square off in the Nov. 6 general election. Hightstown voters will be asked to nominate candidates for

mayor and Borough Council. There is no municipal election in East Windsor. Hightstown Mayor Larry Quattrone and council members Susan Bluth and Dimitri Musing are running unopposed in the Democratic Party primary for their party’s nomination. The Republican Party is not fielding candidates for mayor or council. In the U.S. Senate primary, Democratic and Republican vot-

ers each will choose between two candidates for the nomination to run for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez. Menendez, who is running on the Democratic Party ticket, is being challenged in the Democratic Party primary by Lisa A. McCormick of the Democrats for Change Party. Two men are seeking the Republican Party nomination to run for U.S. Senate - Bob Hugin, who is running on the Republican

Party ticket, and Brian D. Goldberg, who is running on the Mercer County MAGA Republicans ticket. In the 12th Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman is running unopposed in the Democratic Party primary for its nomination, and Daryl Kipnis is running unopposed in the Republican Party primary for its nomination. At the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders, three

Democrats - incumbent freehold-

ers Ann M. Cannon, Pat Colavita Jr. and Samuel T. Frisby Sr. - are running unopposed on the Democratic Party ticket. Michael Silvestri, Mary R.

Walker and Andrew Curcio are

seeking the Republican Party’s nomination to run for the three freeholder seats held by the incumbent freeholders.

East Windsor mayor delivers yearly ‘State of the Township’ By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

From new stores and warehouses to office buildings, East Windsor Township is on the rise and shows no signs of slowing down. That was the message delivered by Mayor Janice S. Mironov in her annual State of the Township address last week at the East Windsor chapter of the MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce luncheon. “There is a lot going on in East Windsor. The town is booming and it is financially strong, and we take a great deal of pride in that,” Mironov said. Retail is doing well in East Windsor, Mironov said. The town has attracted national retailers and restaurants, such as Kohl’s department store, Petco and Five Guys. Commenting on the recent ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Five Guys restaurant at the Shoppes at East Windsor shopping center on Route 130, Mironov said “it is wonderful” the town is attracting national retailers. “You really learn what is important. I haven’t had so many calls from residents since the opening of Kohl’s. In municipal government, you learn what is important to the people,” she said. Having Kohl’s open a store at the East Windsor Village shopping center on Route 571, soon after the retailer closed its West Windsor Township store, “shows how vibrant and attractive the town is. It is a reflection of where East Windsor is in the retail market,” Mironov said. The office and warehouse segment also is doing well in East Windsor, she said. Several companies have expanded and added more square footage, while new companies have moved in to re-

cently completed spaces. Mironov mentioned the 410,300-square-foot Gateway Twin Rivers office and distribution warehouse on Milford Road which is being leased by LG Electronics for use as a distribution center. The mayor also highlighted the redevelopment of the former National Lead Co. property on Wyckoff Mills Road. Modway Furniture plans to open a warehouse and distribution center at the site, creating about 150 new jobs, she said. While Mironov is pleased with the redevelopment of the former National Lead Co. site, she is most proud of the new 567,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center built by pharmaceutical company Aurobindo USA on Windsor Center Drive. Aurobindo is in the process of “ramping up” and is expected to bring 300 to 400 new jobs to the area, Mironov said. Combined with the 120 jobs that go along with its corporate offices located next door, “that is a lot more people who will shop and live in the community,” she said. But it’s not just all stores and office buildings in East Windsor, Mironov said, pointing to other achievements in the past year from new programs to help residents battling drug and alcohol addiction, to a new bicycle and pedestrian path that is inching closer to reality.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Say cheese! Remote cameras aid wildlife research A dozen years ago, wildlife experts were sure that the fisher – a member of the weasel family – was long gone from New Jersey. But a biologist using a motion-triggered camera proved them wrong. Believing fishers were back, the late Charlie Kontos, an adjunct professor and Ph.D. candidate at Rutgers, set up a camera along a trail in Stokes State Forest in Sussex County. The image captured by the “trail cam” in October 2006 clearly showed a fisher, its eyes glowing from the flash, climbing a tree at night. It was the first indisputable evidence of fishers in New Jersey in more than a century! Kontos was one of the first New Jersey scientists to successfully use trail cams to document the ex-

istence and location of rare species. Since then, digital technology has improved and costs have come down. Remote cameras are now an increasingly important research tool for studying wildlife, especially secretive and nocturnal species. Take the bobcat, for instance. These native wildcats, endangered in New Jersey, are among the state’s shyest species. A wildlife biologist could spend an entire career in the field without ever catching a glimpse of a bobcat! “They’re really elusive and seeing them in person is practically impossible,” said naturalist Tyler Christensen, who has made a specialty of photographing bobcats with remote cameras. “It would be pure luck.” Tyler’s photography has shown that the range

of bobcats in New Jersey is greater than originally thought. He’s used motionsensor cameras to not only document the presence of bobcats in various parts of New Jersey, but also study their behaviors and capture high-quality photos. “I’ve found bobcats in places where they haven’t been seen before, and observed really interesting behaviors that you wouldn’t see otherwise,” he said. For example, he’s seen bobcats carrying food in their mouths, cheek rubbing (“just like housecats”) to leave their scent on trees and rocks, marking their territory with urine and feces, and male bobcats following females. Tyler began four years ago with basic trail cams, which detect motion and record still photos or videos, day or night. However, the

infrared images produced at night – when most of New Jersey’s native wildlife is active – are grainy black-and-white shots. Wanting better images, Tyler started experimenting with “camera traps,” motion-activated digital single lens reflex cameras that take high-quality color photos. He now uses a combination of trail cams and camera traps to stalk his quarry. Today, Tyler has what may be the best collection of wild New Jersey bobcat photos - stunning images of wildcats playing in the snow, climbing on rocks, eating animal carcasses or stretched out on tree limbs. His camera traps have snapped images of many other species, including coyotes, possums, foxes, raccoons, bears, deer – and even an otter!

With trail cam prices coming down, Tyler encourages nature enthusiasts to try them out near their homes to see what wildlife shows up. Tyler lives in Somerset, just outside New Brunswick, and is constantly amazed at the wildlife that exists in in a park next to his suburban neighborhood. “We live a lot closer to wildlife than we might think,” he said. “Wildlife is surprisingly abundant in many places, and really good at avoiding people. Most of our wildlife is nocturnal.” If you’re curious about what animals are creeping around your home at night, try a trail cam! They’re readily available online and at outdoor and hunting supply retailers. To see some of Tyler’s best photos, check out his

Instagram page atwww. instagram.com/njnaturalist /. And if you click on the #cameratrap or #trailcam hashtags on his photos, you can view more camera trap and trail cam photography from around the world! Remote photography is a great example of how technology helps with the study and understanding of wildlife – and the preservation of the places most important to their long-term survival!

Obituaries

Elizabeth M. Wagner, 100 Elizabeth (Betty) Smith Wagner passed away peacefully Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at Parker at Monroe, Monroe Township after l00 full, active, meaningful years. Betty Wagner was born on the family farm in East Brunswick, New Jersey on October 22, 1917, daughter of Roman and Mary Oehl Smith and sibling of Isabelle Carstens, Marjorie Barnwell, Marion (Sister M. Camilla), Linus Smith, Lynette Ten Eyck, Ramona McKeon, Joseph Smith, and Justin Smith. Betty was a pioneer in many ways. She left the Smith farm to attend Duke University as one of Duke’s earliest female students, graduating magna cum laude in 1941. Following graduation, Betty embarked on a distinguished career as a professional librarian in New York City and Fremont, Michigan. In 1956, she earned a Master’s degree in Library Science from the University of Michigan. In April, 1971, Betty married the love of her life, William “Bill” Wagner. The Wagners settled into a historic farmhouse in Cranbury, New Jersey where Betty quickly and indelibly established herself as a renowned and respected pillar of the community. For nearly forty years, she worked tirelessly on numerous boards and committees, through “projects,” and by volunteering to promote and preserve Cranbury’s unique historic and cultural characteristics. She was a focused organizer, leader, and passionate advocate for historic preservation, notably serving for many years as President of the Cranbury Historical and Preservation Society. She was instrumental in the conservation of prime agricultural land in the township. In recognition of her many contributions to Cranbury, she was honored by local, state, and regional civic and government organizations, including being recognized in 1993 by the State of New Jersey for “outstanding contributions to the local history of New Jersey.” Betty took great pride in accomplishments, staying busy, and making a difference! In addition to being a champion for Cranbury village and township, Betty enjoyed traveling with Bill throughout the world, exploring interesting and exotic places near and far. Betty was a lifelong, devote Roman Catholic as a communicant at St. Anthony of Padua in Hightstown and most recently at St. James the Less Parish in Jamesburg. Betty was predeceased by her parents, siblings, and her husband Bill (February, 2018). In fact, Betty referred to herself as “the last leaf on the tree” from her generation of the Roman Smith family. She is survived by several generations of many adoring and caring nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. “Family” was important to “Aunt Betty,” who encourages us to stay connected, set goals, and be active, contributing members of our communities. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at Saint James R.C. Church, 36 Lincoln Avenue, Jamesburg, NJ. Interment followed at Holy Cross Burial Park, South Brunswick, NJ. Visitation for friends and family was held on Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at the A.S. Cole Son & Co. Funeral Home, 22 North Main Street, Cranbury, NJ. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Mrs. Wagner’s memory to Cranbury Historical & Preservation Society, P.O.

The county is looking for images that illustrate area heritage, economic vibrancy and cultural diversity and that include public buildings, historic sites, parks and events with or without people using those places. “This is a way for talented amateur photographers to help us spotlight the many great things that Mercer County and its vibrant communities have to offer,” said County Executive Brian M. Hughes. “If you enjoy taking photos, we invite you to show us Mercer County through your lens.” This is not a contest but an opportunity for amateur photographers who seek a broader audience for their work. The images could be used in editorial and commercial digital and print media promoting the County. The photographer’s credit line would appear in the media in which they appear, whenever possible. The county would have exclusive rights of the images and will not sell them. Participants must complete an agreement before submitting images. Instructions and requirements can be found online at ciephoto.com/PhotogDirex.pdf.

County seeks flags for decommissioning

Do you have an American flag that is tattered, soiled or otherwise unserviceable? If so, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes encourages you to dispose of it properly at the County’s annual flag decommissioning ceremony scheduled for Flag Day, June 14, at Veterans Park in Hamilton. 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 are 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. “One way we celebrate Flag Day is by demonstrating the proper way to retire an American flag,” Mr. Hughes said. “The flag of the United States symbolizes the values See NOTES, Page 7A

See story on Page 2.

ou might think a French play written in the 17th century would be hard for modern audiences to relate to, but The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s production of “Tartuffe” is fresh, funny and sharp. Its story of a man devoted to a con artist who uses religion as his currency will always be relevant, but this play also have a love story, betrayal, and one of the all-time great gossip sessions. It’s not hifalutin at all. In fact, “Tartuffe” is the the stuff of sitcoms. Orgon (Patrick Toon) is the patriarch who is enamored with Tartuffe (Brent Harris). He saw Tartuffe in church praying with such passion and theatrics that his prayers must be more sincere than other churchgoers. (It seems Orgon skimmed through Matthew). Everyone else in the family can’t stand Tartuffe, with the exception of Orgon’s mother, Madame Pernelle (Vivian Reed). They see Tartuffe for what his is, a moocher. He also has eyes on Orgon’s wife, Elmire (Caroline Kinsolving). But Orgon wants his daughter Mariane (Sarah Nicole Deaver) to marry Tartuffe, a tragedy for Mariane, who not only loathes Tartuffe but is engaged to Valere (Mark Hawkins). Raising the stakes is that Tartuffe’s son Damis (Aaron McDaniel) is in love with Valere’s sister, and if Mariane and Valere’s engagement is called off, Damis chances of being with the woman he loves are zero. So the family schemes up a plan, designed to show Orgon how Tartuffe covets Elmire, but that plan is ruined by the hotheaded Damis. Another key character is Dorine (Victoria Mack), a maid who is much smarter than the man of the house. An early, funny scene has Dorine updating Orgon about his family. As she tells him that his wife had a bad fever for days, Orgon asks “And Tartuffe?” “He’s round and red, bursting with health, and excellently fed,” the maid says, to which Orgon famously replies, “Poor fellow.” The scene builds as Dorine exaggerates Elmire’s illness, but Orgon is concerned only with Tartuffe.

Bonnie J. Monte, the Shakespeare Theatre’s artistic director, helms this production, running through June 10, an extension from its original planned run. Monte has assembled a top-notch cast, filled with actors who are sharp with funny lines (from Richard Wilbur’s famous translation) and also are terrific with physical comedy. As tension builds, so does the energy, and there are plenty of antics involving a closet people keep hiding in. Harris is brilliant in the title role. He brings a phony earnestness to the role, but holds back just enough that we could see Orgon falling for his act. He’s great in moments where Tartuffe has to weasel himself out of a situations. He’s a villain to be sure, but never so threatening as to take away from the comedy. Mack is great as Dorine, the servant, probably the smartest, and sharpest character in the play. She and Toon play off each other wonderfully. Toon makes a great Orgon, he isn’t the brightest guy around, but he’s not dumb, and ultimately has a good heart. The funniest scene involves Elmire pretending to seduce in Tartuffe, while Orgon hides under a table. Elmire does this to prove what Tartuffe truly is, and there are plenty of things said, and done, to show Orgon the truth, but he doesn’t expose himself. Kinsolving carries the scene, alternating her fake passion toward Tartuffe to her coded hints to her husband. Nikkie Delhomemme’s costumes are thrilling, setting the period with plenty of flair. And Brittany Vasta’s sets are beautiful. It’s an ornate, bright scene with offwhite walls, a marble floor and a threepanel paintin of cherubs floating in the sky. It would be shame to miss the “Tartuffe,” it’s a perfect kickoff to the Shakespeare Theatre’s new season. The Shaksepeare Theatre is located on the campus of Drew University, 36 Madison Ave, Madison.

COVER STORY by Anthony Stoeckert

All That Jazz at McCarter

ummertime, and the music is jazzy. McCarter Theatre is introducing something new this year with its “Jazz in June Festival,” series of four concerts. The lineup begins with a show by The Bad Plus, June 8. Next is a concert by Joey Alexander June 9, followed by Christian Sands June 14; and Fred Hersch June 15. “Summer is the prime time for jazz festivals, they are almost ubiquitous not only in this country but around the world,” says Bill Lockwood, McCarter’s special programming director. “In more ways than one, it is the summer festival circuit that keeps the world of jazz and its artists thriving, so I thought it was time for McCarter to join the club.” He adds that McCarter has never hosted any kind of music festival, and that presenting the concerts in McCarter’s smaller venue, the Berlind Theatre, makes perfect sense. “We have elected to dip our toe into the festival waters on a small scale, starting with the musical unit familiar to most audiences, the piano jazz trio,” Lockwood says. “Which is why our first festival incorporates four concerts spanning several generations of the format, and featuring artists who have made it their specialty.” The Bad Plus has played McCarter previously, in 2007. The group is known for its original music as well as playing pop covers. It recently released a new album, “Never Stop II,” with new member Orrin Evans. “Its music always defied categorization, searching for rules to break, every concert a kind of sonic adventure,” Lockwood says of The Bad Plus. “But the original trio was a model of cohesion and never played a gig with a substitute musician — that is, until this year. So it was big news in the jazz world when the group’s founding pianist, Ethan Iverson, stepped down after 18 years, and was replaced by Orrin Evans, a longtime icon of the Philadelphia jazz scene. Understandably, it’s been a big year for Evans, but he is no stranger to the jazz piano trio, since he’s been a band leader for over 20 years and has had his own trio, Tarbaby. “ Alexander is just 14 years old, and made his McCarter debut in 2017. “The word ‘phenomenon’ is a misnomer when it comes to his prodigious talent,” Lockwood says of Alexander. “It started when he played for Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center in 2014 at the age of 11; and prior to that New York debut, I had occasion to ask Wynton whom he thought was going to be the ‘next big thing’ in the piano jazz world,

Musicians scheduled to perform during McCarter Theatre’s “Jazz in June Festival” include Christian Sands (above) and Fred Hersch. and his answer without hesitation: Joey Alexander.” Christian Sands is also young, 28, and has picked up five Grammy nominations. “And what better mentor could you have than Christian McBride, with whom he toured as his pianist for six years,” Lockwood says. “It was McBride who first alerted me to Sands and said that he was on the cusp of breaking out on his own in a big way from his generation of jazz pianist colleagues, not only as performer but also as composer, ‘so get him while you can!&#039;” Sands also is taking over stewardship of the Erroll Garner Jazz Project, taking over from Geri Allen, who was a mentor to Sands. “Erroll Garner, whose [album] “Concert by the Sea” is the stuff of legend, was the first jazz artist I ever presented at McCarter,” Lockwood says. “That Christian Sands is providing a sense of continuity to one of jazz music’s most enduring, but oft forgotten, keyboard giants is welcome news, especially for those of us for whom ‘Concert By the Sea’ — followed soon by Dave Brubeck and ‘Take Five’ — is where it all began.” The festival will wrap up with a concert by Hersch, who Lockwood describes as the festival’s “anchor.”

“It is all too easy to call him an ’eminence’ of the field, so high in the esteem of his colleagues is he held,” Lockwood says. “And far from aspiring to membership in the pantheon of jazz royalty, he is the pantheon, which explains why I determined early on that his participation in our inaugural festival was essential — it’s where you start.”

McCarter Theatre is located at 91 University Place, Princeton. For tickets and information, go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-258-2787.

STAGE REVIEW

by Anthony Stoeckert

‘An Act of God’ at Bucks County Playhouse

avid Javerbaum’s “An Act of God” is a light, comedic fantasy that portrays God as a lot of people wish he could be. This a God with a modern sensibility who rattles off jokes as if he’s the host of a mild roast. How does explain evolution and geological evidence that the Earth is billions of years old? He planted the evidence, made it look that way—take that Neil deGrasse Pagan! God also talks about his “wrath management issues” — and the Book of Job? It’s funnier than “The Book of Mormon” and “The Book of Mormon.” “Act of God,” running at the Bucks County Playhouse through June 16, offers thoughts from God, who has taken on the form of an actor named Harry Bouvy (who plays the character). And he has a whole new set of Ten Commandments for us. The old set needs an update, it seems. A few commandments stay unchanged, but the edits include “That shalt not tell others whom to fornicate,” and by that? “I mean the gays,” God says. In fact, he did indeed originally envision Adam and Steve, a relationship that

started with Adam knocked out cold (“I Cosbied his nectar,” God says). But the snake and the apple made Adam realize what was going on. So if God is OK with homosexuality, how does he explain “thou shalt not lie with a man as one lies with a woman,” which is not a commandment but is found in Leviticus. Simple — that’s good advice: “When you’re with a man, you can straight-up lie, but if you’re lying to a woman, you need to be more subtle.” “Act of God” made its Broadway debut in 2015 with Jim Parsons as God. It returned in 2016 starring Sean Hayes. It’s becoming a popular choice in regional theater (George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick staged it last year, with Kathleen Turner playing God), likely because it’s so simple to stage. It also seems to be a show that draws stars — what celebrity wouldn’t want to play God? — but Bucks made a good move in avoiding stunt casting. The play informs us that God has taken on the form of this stage actor name Bouvy, who bears a resemblance to Stanley Tucci. Dressed in a light-blue shirt, sky-colored tie complete with clouds, off-white pants and gold-painted sneakers, Bouvy plays the role with confidence (which comes in handy when playing the Almighty), humor and a touch of humanity. This God is all-knowing, and he also knows about his own failings. The show hits home when God talks about Jesus. He starts off funny, Jesus was a middle child and acted like it, but after noting that his son died not only for our sins, but for the sins of his father, God commands us to honor our children. This isn’t a one-man show, as God is joined by two archangels. Ashley D. Kelley is all charm as Michael, who peppers God with some annoying questions. Joe Kinosian plays Gabriel, setting the mood for God throughout the show. Kinosian has been at Bucks before, in “Murder for Two: Holiday Edition” and in “The Nerd,” and he’s terrific, as always. The set is simple, a platform with a denim-blue couch and screen projection. Director Tracy Brigden sets a brisk pace (the show runs less than 90 minutes), and brings a good dose of heart to the show. “An Act of God” isn’t deep. I can’t say it’s a laugh riot, but I chuckled, often.

“An Act of God” continues at Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope, through June 16. For tickets and information, go to bcptheater.org or call 215-862-2121.

Sharing the stories that make Memorial Day Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. William Traubel, a Hopewell resident, West Point ‘66, and Princeton University ’72, has taken on a retirement avocation of communicating about the dead and bringing them to life. He is no psychic, but rather a medium for Revolutionary War heroes — a storyteller whose script is based on the events and people who fought and died for the establishment the United States of America. The speaker at the Spirit of Princeton Memorial Day Parade Ceremony, held May 26, Traubel — in both casual conversation and formal speeches — does a verbal reenactment of the triumphs and tribulations of the Revolutionary War soldiers with such earnestness and enthusiasm that it makes the listeners want to go to a grave site and say ‘thank you’ to the deceased soldiers. In Princeton, we can do just that. And on Memorial Day, I did. “Princeton is an ideal site to remember and honor those American veterans who gave their all to defend our Nation. . . to secure our freedom,” said Traubel in his comments at the Spirit of Princeton Memorial Day ceremony. He explained that there were hundreds of Memorial Day events taking place at sites where heroes dies in war zones. “Princeton has all of those characteristics,” he said. “Soldiers fought, died and are buried here, even unknown soldiers.” Soldiers of the First American Army and Marines fought in Princeton, Jan 3, 1777, ending the

“Ten Crucial Days” that began on Christmas 1776 with crossing of the Delaware River and defeating the British Forces in Trenton. “Those “’Ten Crucial Days’ were a tipping point in the Revolutionary War, [changing the course of the war] from seemingly endless losses to winning three battles,” Traubel said. He added that the first U.S. Marine to die in combat died during the Battle of Princeton. “Princeton has Unknown Soldier Graves behind the colonnade on the far side of the Princeton Battlefield,” he said. Even though I usually drive past the battlefield every day of the year, on Monday, May 28, I did not drive past. Because of the inspiring storytelling of Bill Traubel, I parked my car and walked up to the colonnade and absorbed the sight with a much greater appreciation for its significance in my country and my life. He noted in his Memorial Day speech that there is noticeably greater value in hearing and experiencing history on the ground where it occurred. Traubel’s career as a storytelling public historian is a new chapter in his life. It began once upon a time when, as a 13-year-old, he was inspired by his father’s self-taught expertise in American history (especially historic flags) and the family’s first road trip in the family’s first car — to West Point. “My dad wanted to be a tour guide at Independence Hall, but he was rejected, because he only had a fourth-grade education,”

Storyteller William Traubel at the Spirit of Princeton Memorial Day celebration, standing next to the Colonial flag. Traubel said, noting that George Washington never went to college. At the age of 13 and a selfdescribed “juvenile delinquent,” Traubel, who had inherited his dad’s passion for American history, was transformed by the tour of West Point and made up his mind that he would attend school there. And the rest is history. He graduated from West Point, became U.S. Army En-

gineer Officer, got advanced degrees in mathematics and engineering from Princeton University, rose through the ranks of the U.S. Army with worldwide assignments in command staff, construction, and facilities engineering. When he retired as a lieutenant colonel, he began his second career in facilities engineering. When he retired from Princeton in 2009 as director of

Princeton University’s Grounds and Building Maintenance, he began his third career — this time the only compensation being pure joy. Since retiring from Princeton in 2009, Traubel has fed his appetite for American Revolution history by serving as a trustee at Washington Crossing Park Association, a docent at Washington Crossing Historic Park, and a steward of the Revolutionary War Soldiers Graves at the Thompson Neely Historic Site. He is a founding member of the TenCrucialDays.org, dedicated to promoting the sites and venue of the Ten Crucial Days Campaign of 1776-1777, and is a member of the Swan Historical Foundation, whose mission is to encourage knowledge and appreciation of the American Revolution for the benefit of present and future generations. Standing on the steps of Princeton’s Monument Hall, Traubel — who has five grandchildren — gave my granddaughter Lily and me a tutorial in the Colonial flag, which he brought to the ceremony. The flag is the one that the Revolutionary War forces fought under, before America became a nation. “George Washington created the first American flag — he created and flew it on New Year’s Day 1776, when Americans were still British subjects seeking peace, not war. . . . Hence the British Union Jack,” Traubel said. “Washington used the all-red British flag, which included the See LOOSE ENDS, Page 11B

The Week of Friday, June 1, 2018T

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum, M.D.

Tips for encouraging healthy habits in children Encouraging healthy habits in children is one of the most important jobs for a parent — and typically one of the most challenging. Getting kids to eat healthy and get moving is often easier said than done, especially with the increasing use of computers, smart phones and tablets. So what’s a parent to

do? Start with these tips. Portion it out. In general, portion sizes should be “child-sized” until adolescence. Meals should include a protein and a variety of fruits and vegetables. A colorful plate is a healthy plate. Follow the 15-minute rule. It takes at least 15

minutes for the brain to catch up with the stomach and realize you’re full. Encourage your child to wait 15 minutes before going back for seconds, and if they do, make sure they include an extra helping of fruits and vegetables too. Remember sweets are treats. Even Cookie Monster knows that a cookie is a “sometimes” food. Sweets and sugary desserts should be considered treats to be enjoyed occasionally, not every day. Snacks should be healthy and include choices like fruit, nuts and vegetables. Also keep in mind that sports drinks and fruit juices can be loaded with sugar and empty calories. Ideally, children should mostly drink water and low-fat or fat-free milk. Control screen time. Limit screen time to onehour periods and designate media-free family time and media-free locations, such as bedrooms, in homes. Screen time before bed can interfere with a healthy sleep. In addition, too much screen time can increase the risk for obesity, negatively impact school performance and increase the risk for cyberbullying and exploitation. Make fitness fun. Children need at least 60 minutes of exercise a day, including both aerobic and strengthening activities,

Set small goals. If your child would rather lounge on the couch than run around outside, start out slowly. Gradually introduce physical activity into their regular routine, setting, small achievable goals each week.

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum

according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Organized sports provide one of the easiest ways for kids to get their exercise, but not every child wants to play a team sport. Make fitness fun by finding an activity your child enjoys. Activities like dancing, skiing or even simply hiking through the woods are all great exercise. Make it a family affair. Engaging in activities as a family can be good for your kids and you. Take a walk together after dinner, go for a Saturday morning jog or bike ride. Involve children in the kitchen, too. Allowing them to participate in meal planning, shopping and preparation will help them learn healthy habits.

Know when to say lights out. Adequate sleep is just as important as a healthy diet and physical activity. In general, toddlers need 12 hours of shuteye a night, elementary and middle school children need between 9 and 10, and high schoolers need at least 8. Establishing a bedtime routine, especially for younger children is critical to healthy sleep. Restrict electronics in the bedroom at night and do not allow a TV or computer in the room. Keep the bedroom cool, dark and quiet, and begin winding down at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Kids Marathon One fun and easy way for children to get moving is by signing up for the 10th Annual Kids Marathon & Fun Run hosted by Penn Medicine Princeton Health Community Wellness and Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center. The marathon consists of a 10-week training program in which kids in grades Pre-K through 8 walk, run or roll 2.5 miles a week at their own pace

and then gather on race day complete with a 1.2mile Fun Run, the final leg of the Kids Marathon. Participants receive incentive prizes for every milestone completed. Though training for the Marathon is already underway, children in grades Pre-K through 8 can still register. Race day is on June 24 at Educational Testing Service, 660 Rosedale Road, Princeton and starts at 10 a.m. Music, face painting, kids crafts, and other festivities will take place after the race. Refreshments will also be available. Parental permission is required. The cost is $25 for the Kids Marathon, and $20 for the Fun Run only. Proceeds benefit Princeton Health’s programs to promote wellness and prevent obesity and chronic disease in children. If cost is U a factor, eligible children H can receive free scholar- o o ships.

Loose Ends

Continued from Page 9B Union Jack as you see it. He had white stripes sewn on it to show the solidarity of the 13 colonies.” It was, however, a sweet but somber moment for me, because I was standing in the spot usually occupied by legendary community volunteer Ray Wadsworth, who along with Herb Hobler, led the charge for the establishment of The Spirit of Princeton organization responsible for the re-

emergence of the Memorial Day Parade and other civic events such as the Flag Day ceremony and the Veterans’ Day ceremony. At the beginning of the ceremony, Spirit of Princeton Officer Kam Amirzafari made an announcement that Spirit of Princeton Chairperson Ray Wadsworth was very sick and this year missed participating in the event that meant so much to him. For years Wadsworth used the powers of prayer

to arrange for good parade weather. All those who worked with Wadsworth over the years on the town’s civic events were hoping that the powers of prayer would result in a good outcome for him. Wadsworth , who would have reveled in Bill Traubel’s American Revolution storytelling, was never into telling stories about exemplary citizens, just being one himself.

Richard Burke REALTOR®, GRI, SRES, Broker-Sales Associate Office: 609-924-1600 | Cell: 609-529-3371

Email: rick.burke@foxroach.com | www.BurkeBringsBuyers.com

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

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

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

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

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

Q Q

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

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