Cranbury school board incumbents will seek to retain seats By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Three incumbents on the Cranbury Board of Education will run in the race for three seats in November, with no challengers emerging so far ahead of next week’s filing deadline. Board President Karen Callahan and board member Dominique Jones filed petitions with the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office to be on the Nov. 6 ballot. Peter Katz, the other incumbent, said on July 24 that he would be filing his petition on July 25.

The filing deadline is July 30. Callahan is seeking her third term on the school board. “I want to carry out the ongoing plans and work of the district we have embarked on,” she said by phone on July 24. “I enjoy working with the board we have now. We’re very collaborative and cohesive. Everyone currently on the board has something to bring to the table.” Callahan pointed to wanting to ensure Cranbury strengthens its relationship with the Princeton Public Schools, with which Cranbury has a send-receive relation-

ship and through which Cranbury students of high school age attend Princeton High School. She also said officials are due to take on their next long-range facility plan. Katz is no stranger to serving on boards of education. Before moving to Cranbury, he sat on the Upper Freehold Regional School District Board of Education, the Monmouth County district where current Princeton Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane worked before accepting his current job. In 2017, Katz was appointed

to fill a vacant seat on the board and then ran unopposed in a special election in November to serve out the remaining year of the term. “I love being on the school board. I’ve been in public service my whole life,” he said by phone. “I enjoy it. I want to give back to the community and I love doing something that can help the kids and help our town.” Jones has been on the board for five years. She said on July 24 that she wants to continue her service “because actually I think there are a lot of important things

happening right now.” She pointed to how the district’s grading and homework policies are up for review. She also touched on focusing on “the mental health” of students. “That is really a big passion of mine,” she said. If no other candidates file by the deadline, Callahan, Katz and Jones would be unopposed in the November election. School board members serve for three years and are unpaid.

Local teen’s Eagle Scout project eases navigating Hightstown High School By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

John O’Brien still remembers that “lost” feeling as a freshman at Hightstown High School, trying to find his way around the sprawling building. So to ensure no one else would have that same feeling, John designed and built a set of directional signs to hang in the high school hallways. The signs, which were installed last week, are part of John’s Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout project. The 17-yearold, who will be a senior in September, belongs to Boy Scout Troop 59. To reach the top rank of Eagle Scout, which has been achieved by 2 percent of eligible Boy Scouts since the rank’s inception in 1912, a Scout must come up with a project and carry it through to completion. And that’s what John has done. John, who is on the Hightstown High School swim team, was participating in a swim meet at North Brunswick Township High School when he noticed directional signs hanging in the hallways. “I was thinking about Eagle Scout projects and I saw the directional signs. I thought that was a good idea for a project. It really caught my attention,” he said. The directional signs will benefit anyone who visits Highstown High School - from freshmen to transfer students, parents, new teachers, substitute teachers and many others, John said. Once John received approval for his project, he set out to put it into motion. He purchased the materials, which included plywood, stencils for the lettering, sandpaper and paint. Then, he had to organize the

younger Boy Scouts in the troop, along with volunteers, to build the signs. Work began in earnest in November and it was completed earlier this month. “I thought it was just cutting boards, stenciling them, and painting them, and it wouldn’t be that bad. Then I got into the details, like the font size for the lettering. The devil is in the details,” John said. While John has held leadership positions in Troop 59, carrying out this project was a challenge. Although he had learned to delegate tasks, he never had to take complete charge of a project. Taking charge of the project meant John had to contact school officials. He had to arrange for the materials to be acquired, and then to lay out in detail how the project would go forward - what tasks each Boy Scout would undertake. “When you are leading a project on your own, planning is huge. You have to coordinate with the younger Scouts and the volunteers, and you have to instruct them on what to do,” John said. “I got more practice in delegating, and how clear I could make the instructions. It was really burned into my brain. I don’t think I would have learned this much until later, if I had not done this project,” he said. John said it was a “really good” learning experience for the Boy Scouts. Some of the younger boys had never used a paint roller, while others did not know about the different grades of sandpaper - from very fine to coarse and gritty. “I tried to make it a learning experience for them, too, for their Eagle Scout projects,” John said. He added that he learned a lot while he was helping older Boy Scouts in their Eagle Scout proj-

Cranbury Police Department to host National Night Out event By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

National Night Out returns to Cranbury on Aug. 7 at Village Park, the fifth year in a row for a local happening that brings the police and the community together. Food, music, bounce houses for children and a visit by a New Jersey State Police helicopter are on tap for an event due to run from 5-8 p.m. “It’s just a great night for all the citizens to come out and meet the local police officers,” said Cranbury Police Officer Michael Cipriano, who organizes A

National Night Out. Similar celebrations are held around county, seen as ways to build relationships between police departments and the communities they serve. “In Cranbury, we’ve always had a very positive interaction with our community. It’s just amazing,” Cipriano said. “When we decided to get involved in National Night Out, just the overwhelming support we received from the community just by them showing up, it’s unbelievable.” Cipriano is a patrolman in the police department and president of the police officers’ union. He

described himself as a “completely communityoriented police officer.” “When you’re out of the car and you get to know the people in your town, it just kind of makes your job as a police officer even easier,” he said. “You get to know the routines of the residents, their everyday actions, so that if something one day might be out of place, you would recognize it.” National Night Out is co-sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 68, the police union, and the township. Each year, attendance at the event averages 350 to 450 people, Cipriano said.

It runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the East

sion of under 50 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and improper safety glass. On July 17 at 3:51 p.m., an officer responded to Walmart, 839 Route 130 North, for a report of a shoplifter in custody. Upon arrival, it was determined that a 36-year-old woman from East Windsor concealed merchandise and attempted to leave the store without paying for it. She was arrested and later released pending court action. She was charged with shoplifting. On July 18 at 10:44

p.m., an officer responded to Challenger Drive for a report of suspicious occupied vehicle. During the investigation, a 21-yearold man from East Windsor, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were located in the vehicle. He was arrested and later released pending court action.

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

burg National Military Park in Pennsylvania and George Washington’s Mount Vernon. In New Jersey, this fund has helped establish, expand and improve public parks in all 21 counties – from small community parks and ballfields to national recreation areas and wildlife refuges like theDelaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Outdoor recreation is a powerful economic engine in New Jersey, generating nearly $19 billion inconsumer spending every year and supporting 143,000 jobs, $5.9 billion in wages and salaries, and $1.2 billion in state and local tax revenue. This economic engine will sputter if the funds run out. As our state’s population grows, it’s important that we continue to add public open spaces so that everyone can experience the great outdoors. Not convinced? Without the Land and Water Conservation Fund, these projects won’t happen: • Continued revitalization of the North Camden Waterfront Park, extending it by a half-mile with additional trails, picnic areas and spots for sightseeing along the Delaware River back channel. • Continued revitalization of Jesse Allen Park in Newark as a vibrant space for community gatherings, recreation and athletics. When completed, it will be Newark’s second-largest city-owned park, benefiting nearly 13,700 residents within a 10-minute walk, as well as residents in surrounding communities. • An addition to the Rockaway River Wildlife Manage-

ment Area in Morris County, connecting to 3,000 acres of preserved lands. This unique property flows into the Musconetcong and Rockaway River watersheds and protects water quality in both Lake Shawnee and Lake Hopatcong. Others include Liberty State Park, Spruce Run Recreation Area and the Pequest Fish Hatchery. Thecity of Paterson has a grant to build a trail along the Passaic River. The New Jersey Highlands region has benefited from this fund, protecting the drinking water for more than 6 million people, or nearly two-thirds of New Jersey’s population. New Jersey’s bipartisan Congressional delegation continues to be longstanding supporters of theLand and Water Conservation Fund. But the September deadline looms. Contact your Congressional representative today and urge him or her to support American’s most important conservation program and ensure that the Land and Water Conservation Fund is permanently reauthorized and fully funded. To contact your congressional representative, go tohttp://www.house.gov/ representatives/find/. Visit http://www.lwcfcoalition.org/ to learn more about the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Depth helps CP finish first at PASDA diving By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

For the coaches of the Community Park diving team, the number one goal is to get their members to learn and enjoy the sport. And, if along the way, that happens to lead to a championship, that is simply an added bonus. Last week, Community Park finished first as a team in the diving portion of the Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association championship meet, which it held on July 18-19 at the Community Park Pool in Princeton. CP finished with a narrow 430.5-420 advantage over Ben Franklin Swim Club, which is out of Lawrence Township, to capture the title. The Nassau Swim Club, which is based in Princeton, finished in sixth place with 144 points. “It was a great meet,” said Cathy Mallon, one of the CP coaches. “After the first few events or first day we were fourth and then we slowly crept up and it came down to the last event. Ben Franklin is an amazing team. Our dual meet was just four points between the two teams so that was really close as well. For diving, to have just a 10 point difference at a championship meet is very close.” CP picked up just one individual win at the meet, as Mia Bitterman won the Girls 6-and-under division. The key to victory for the Bluefish was their depth, which allowed them to pick up points at every age group. “It was a nice way to win,” said Nicole Arioso,

another of the CP coaches. “I feel like we cornered all the age groups. Every level helped contribute to the overall win. All the talents combined made for a bunch of little bright stars making one big bright star. “Collectively the talent pool was something that really helped to make the win possible. All of their hard work really paid off.” In addition to the victory from Bitterman, CP gained top five finishes from Xinle Cordle (third in the 8-andunder girls), Chira Petta (fifth in 8-and-under girls), Jonathan Blake (second in 8-and-under boys), Ada Kilian (second in 10-andunder girls), John Woodfield (fourth in 10-and-under boys), Charlotte Quick (fourth in 12-and-under girls), Justin Miller (third in 12-and-under boys), Coll Wight (fifth in 12-andunder boys), Ava Ramirez (fifth in 14-and-under girls), Brian Manners (third in 14-and-under boys), Zach Feola (fifth in 14-and-under boys), and Lizzy Hare (second in 18-and-under girls). In the Open Divisions, Quick was fifth in the 12-and-under girls, Wight was fifth in the 12-andunder boys, and Hare was third in the 18-and-under girls. “I am really proud of my kids,” Mallon said. “The 12-and-under boys open was the last event and we had a few divers and they gave us enough points to win the meet. It is really the depth of the team, not just having the top diver in the age group, that made the difference. It helps having the depth because the top 16 places score points for the team. So you can win every

event, but if you don’t have the depth it is hard to win as a team.” CP has a deep roster with just over 50 divers on the team. While that helped bring a championship, the bigger picture for the coaches was having so many kids interested in their sport. “Numbers have been small in some places, but we have seen diving as a growing sport that is alive and kicking,” Arioso said. “We’re teaching kids how to fly and it is fun.” The only event winner for CP was Bitterman, who won in the always enjoyable 6-and-under division. “Mia did great and that event is the most fun to watch,” Mallon said. “They are so cute. The whole meet is fantastic and a great experience. But the little ones are so fun to watch and see them compete and grow.” Arioso added: “I feel lucky to work with them. I love watching the kids learn and be eager to learn. Being part of that is a gift for me. I am just so proud of how far they have all come.” Nassau picked up some top five finishes as well in the meet. Arman Singhal (second in 10-and-under boys), Aruv Singhal (third in 10-and-under boys), Kimi Wei (fourth in 14-andunder girls), and Rachel Adlai-Gail (fifth in 18-andunder girls) all finished in the top five for Nassau. Rowland Lawver, who will be a freshman at The Hun School, was first in the 14-and-under boys division and in the boys 18-and-under open division. Lawver dives for Penn Brook, which is based in Pennington.

2017 Realtor® Of the Year – Mercer County

Here I am with my family. Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.

Cell: 908-391-8396 | Email: donnamurray@comcast.net | www.donnamurrayrealestate.com

. Tell us about yourself. A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek, which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.

. Tell us about your family. A. My husband Tom works for American Airlines as a 777 Captain Check Airman. He recently had the honor of serving as one of the four captains who flew Pope Francis during his U.S. visit. We have three children, who attended St. Paul’s School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School (’09, ’11, ’13) in Lawrenceville. Jonathan graduated Rutgers Engineering program and works for TD Securities, Abigail is a grad student at Rider going for a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, and Laurel is graduating Seton Hall in May 2017 and continuing there in the fall for grad school.

. What do you like to do for fun? A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many

nature trails in the area. I also love to entertain and enjoy volunteering in the community. Most importantly, I cherish when my family of five can coordinate our busy schedules to spend some quality time together.

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate? A. Real Estate is continuing to change quickly with the times. More listings will have interactive floorplans, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone pictures, etc., and the industry will continue to find new innovations for enticing buyers. Buyers search online, wanting to be equipped with as much information as possible before choosing to visit a home, and I anticipate that trend continuing with the aid of technology.

. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years? A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology. Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.

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

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

COVER STORY

by Ken Downey Jr.

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

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

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

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

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

Jul. 27th – Aug. 5th, 2018

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

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

Fitness is a way of life, love for Robert Murphy

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

and Research Park), at 7 Forrestal Road South. He is a fan of show-and-tell exercise only when it is followed up by action. Even though he can wax eloquently about Life Time’s “incredible” staff, equipment, fitness classes, indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and other amenities, “their value is how they interact with our members. Our equipment and trainers are so important because they enable people to live in the healthiest possible way and to the fullest. I derive most of my professional satisfaction from watching members use the amenities and watching my staff work with them to make a difference in their lives,” he said. Rob Murphy of Life Time Athletic Princeton He describes himself as “member-centric fitness facility professional,” who has delivered a “fitness experience ing myself happy,” he said. “She encouraged me to pursue to over 70,000 members…always putting the member what I loved most – being fit and inspiring others to find first. Fitness in my world should not be an obligation, or the joy in fitness.” something that you are forced to do by doctors or family He left his account managing job and embraced his members, but rather an activity you really want to do and passion by becoming a “personal enhancement coach and enjoy without a trace of dread…. I want to change ‘have’ personal trainer” at CanDo. With persistence and passion to work out to ‘want’ to work out.” he rose through the ranks to become the facility’s general After graduating from college with a B.A. in history manager, an opportunity to spread his fitness gospel more and a lot of experience as a hockey and lacrosse player, effectively and more broadly. Rob first pursued a career as an account manager for a He laughed off being dubbed the Pied Piper of fitness, large American food corporation. even though dozens of members and fitness professionals “I was making money, but my wife [a Pilates instructor See LOOSE ENDS, Page 11B whom he met on a blind date] noted that I was not mak-

Loose Ends Continued from Page 10B als have followed him from one fitness facility to another. He did not laugh off, however, the description of Life Time Fitness as a “Disney style fitness resort.” Just like Disney whose mission is to bring every individual the comprehensive and highest quality entertainment experience, “Life Time Fitness offers the ‘Healthy Way of Life’ experience through an array of health, wellness, nutrition, relaxation and entertainment services and programs,” said Rob who gave a healthy shout out to Princeton Forrestal Center executives, whose support, flexibility, and guidance enabled Life Time to create “the ultimate fitness experience.” When Rob is not working, he generally is working out. His leisure time with his two young daughters includes very little sitting-still time. He does a variety of exercises and sports with his two daughters, including pushups, squats and wall sits. Coming to work with Dad is far cry from sitting in a windowless office with a

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

MUSEUMS Princeton University Art Museum, on the campus of Princeton University, Princeton. “Frank Stella Unbound: Literature and Printmaking,” Between 1984 and 1999, the American artist Frank Stella executed four ambitious print series, each of which was named after a literary work that had a distinctive narrative structure: the Passover song Had Gadya, a compilation of Italian folktales, the epic novel Moby-Dick, and the illustrated encyclopedia Dictionary of Imaginary Places. Through these four bodies of work, Stella evolved printmaking projects of unprecedented scale and complexity that both transformed the artist’s visual language, through Sept. 23; Hours: Tues.-Wed., Fri.-Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Thurs. 10 a.m.-10 p.m., Sun. 1-5 p.m.
