Cranbury residents hit back at possibility of more warehouses By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Two more warehouses possibly being built in Cranbury has concerned residents who live near the proposed development site and their neighbors from Monroe Township, at a time when the residents say they have enough headaches living near a lot of warehouses. Residents packed the Cranbury Township Committee meeting on Aug. 13 to voice quality of life concerns they deal with and to speak up about a concept Garden

State Buildings, a subsidiary of Edison-based Summit Associates, has in mind for 18 acres between Halsey Reed and HightstownCranbury Station roads. A company representative could not be reached for comment. Deanne Napurano, of Cranbury, joined by her neighbors from both communities, told officials of the noise pollution, traffic safety, the shaking of their homes and other concerns that come with living in an area with constant truck traffic.

Regional school board determines uses for state aid windfall

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Flush with an unexpected $2.8 million in additional state school aid, the East Windsor Regional School District Board of Education plans to provide property tax relief, make repairs and hire more teachers for the 2018-19 school year. The district is receiving more money because of changes in the state aid funding formula. District administrators anticipated receiving $21.3 million in state aid when they prepared, and subsequently adopted, the 2018-19 school district operating budget. “We could use every dollar to hire (personnel) and to fix things,” board President Alice Weisman said during a July 25 special meeting. She added that “we should look to do as much as possible” while also providing tax relief.

Small school districts in the state like Cranbury should be merged into larger regional districts, said a panel looking to improve New Jersey’s fiscal health and make government more efficient. Mandatory school consolidation was one of a series of proposals released by the New Jersey Economic and Fiscal Policy Workgroup, a committee the state Legislature created. In a report issued last week, the panel recommended merging all K-4, K-5,

cials, who said there are no plans filed with the town. Further research found that concept drawings had been submitted to Monroe Township, she said. It was not immediately clear why a developer would have submitted concept drawings to a neighboring municipality. Napurano provided officials with drawings done for the developer for two buildings that would have a combined 329,000 square feet. Most of that space would be for the warehouses. Napurano said she and her neighbors would prefer to see the

land not developed, in a move that also would protect wildlife in the area. “Regardless of this particular plan, it’s any plan that must be suspect at this point,” she said. “We have reached our full capacity over there, guys.” Lorraine Moody Morris, of Halsey Reed Road, told officials what residents in that section of town are experiencing. “With each erected warehouse, the noise, the air pollution, the traffic congestion has increased,” Morris said.

Board members agreed to allocate $250,000 for property tax relief, which will result in a decrease of $10.34 for an East Windsor home assessed at the 2018 average of $258,691. The school district tax will be $5,398. The property tax relief will result in a decrease of $29.77 for a Hightstown home assessed at the 2018 average of $212,622. The school district tax will be $4,613. Turning to educational matters, the board plans to hire four teachers, spread among grades six through 12, to reduce class sizes. An additional kindergarten teacher will be hired at the Walter C. Black Elementary School to reduce class size. A bilingual clerk will be hired in the Personnel Department. There is extra money available to offer stipends to create three HIB specialist (harassment See WINDFALL, Page 3A

Cranbury Station section of town, a designated historic area, in a house that dates to before 1860. “Residents east of Route 130 are suffering, we are suffering right now,” she said during the public comment portion of the meeting. “We need your help.” Napurano was looking for officials’ aid in getting the residents’ concerns presented to the Planning Board, which would decide on any application Garden State Buildings proposes. She said neighbors noticed drilling going on at the property and checked with Cranbury offi-

K-6, K-8 and K-9 districts “into K-12 regional districts to improve the quality of education and promote efficiency.” “New Jersey faces a series of fiscal and economic challenges that threaten to undermine our ability to address the needs of our residents and invest in the programs and services that will move the state forward,” state Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney (D-Salem, Gloucester and Cumberland) said in a news release announcing the group’s report. Sweeney was one of 25 members on a panel that included past and present lawmakers from the Republican and Democratic political parties and policy experts. The report states school property taxes were $14.85 billion for the fiscal year ending in June “and made up 52.4 percent of the total property tax bill.” “While New Jersey ranks fourth in the nation in school spending per pupil, only 59.3 percent of that amount gets spent on instruction,” the report states. “New Jersey spends a higher percentage of its budget on support services, including general See MERGER, Page 3A

Latino festival to be held Saturday By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Aiming to showcase the diversity of the Latino community, the sixth annual Latino Festival of Hightstown-East Windsor is set for Aug. 18 at Rocky Brook Park in Hightstown. The event, which is free, will be held from 1-6 p.m. at Rocky Brook Park, 170 Bank St. The rain date is Aug. 25 at the park. The goal of the festival is to show off the many musical and cultural traditions of the Latino community, said Carlos Fernandez of the Hightstown-East Windsor Latino Cultural Committee. “The focus is on trying to put a human face and an artistic face to Latinos in New Jersey. Who are the immigrants? What are they all about? What did they bring to the United States?” Fernandez said. “It’s the beauty and the culture and the arts they contribute to the

American landscape” that the festival tries to highlight, he said. To that end, festival-goers can listen to musicians and watch dance groups from countries ranging from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Peru to Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico. “We use (the festival) as a way to bring the community together,” Fernandez said. “There are a lot of people from Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru and Mexico, among others. We want to bring them all together.” Many of the performers live in East Windsor and the Twin Rivers development, and others come from Springfield, Elizabeth and New York City, he said. The festival is not just music. There will be educational exhibits, food for sale, and arts and crafts activities for children. New this year is the soccer Friendship Cup, awarded to the winning team in the inaugural

Man’s best friend: Local animal shelter puts pets first By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

Clutching kittens as they ganswer calls, the receptiongists at the Small Animal Veterinary Endowment e(SAVE) animal shelter in eSkillman work as the de wfacto starting line for people looking to add a furry companion to their home. In the lobby, benches dedicated to SAVE animals ,like Audrey, the orange -tabby cat, give visitors an inkling into just how imporotant the creatures housed ,there are to everyone in-volved. So as National Clear the -Shelters Day approaches on Aug. 18, those at SAVE are hoping to help their feline and canine friends can find new homes. , This Saturday, shelters like SAVE across the country will do what they can to get the pets in their care into good, loving homes. . That generally means lower adoption fees, as well as a concerted effort to bring animal lovers into shelters -and raise awareness to the

“adopt, don’t shop” mentality. “It’s a great time to be in this day and age to adopt a homeless animal, because people are much more open to it,” Heather Achenbach, executive director at SAVE, said. “They used to think it meant [the animals] were damaged. ‘How did it get there? It must not be good.’ Or, ‘Oh it spent time there, it must be damaged.’ No they’re not.” SAVE — which was originally founded in 1941 by Princeton resident and veterinarian Dr. Cornelia Jaynes and her friend Emily Myrick — joined forces with the Princeton nonprofit Friends of Homeless Animals in 2006, and has been in operation in Skillman since 2015. It works with Princeton, Lawrence, Hopewell, Montgomery, Cranbury and South Brunswick Township animal control officers to “provide a safe haven for lost, stray, or abandoned cats and dogs,” according to its website.

on if that is an animal we want to put up for adoption. And it becomes our pet, and that’s when you see them on the adoption floor.” Not every cat cage or dog kennel run is filled, however, as SAVE brands itself as a limited admission shelter. While SAVE has a capacity for 100 animals — 75 cats and 25 dogs, Achenbach said the shelter took in 657 animals and found homes for 536 in 2017. The

remaining number of animals were either reclaimed by their owners, trap-neuter-returned, transferred to a rescue group, passed away at the shelter — such as a sick kitten — or are still at SAVE.

ebrated her one-year anniversary with the non-profit back in June, regularly walks through the various cat rooms, greeting each pet by name. Many of the cats, she said, come to the shelter via animal control or “owner surrender,” meaning that the animal’s owner passed away, or they can no longer keep them. “People find [cats] under their porches, in their sheds, in their backyards, under their car. So animal control is obligated to bring them here,” she said.

Similarly, many dogs are brought to the shelter from animal control, most commonly if they are lost. Because of this, 80 percent of dogs that come to the shelter are reclaimed by their owner, Achenbach said. Only 20 percent of cats are reclaimed. “If animal control brings us an animal, they stay with us for seven days — a lost or stray hold. That’s time for the owner to find that pet and claim it,” she said. “After the seven days, SAVE makes the decision

teorite that fell into the Chihuahuan desert in Mexico, or the 2008 Almahata Sitta meteorite that fell into the Nubian Desert in Sudan. Comet Swift-Tuttle was first recorded by the Chinese in 69 BC. Its orbital path brings it near Earth only about every 133 years. We will need to worry on about September 15, 4479, when it passes extremely close to our Earthmoon system. But every August we pass right through a dust and meteor cloud strewn through Swift-Tuttle’s orbital path. As the dust and tiny fragments fall through our atmosphere, friction with air incinerates the ancient comet fragments, lighting the night sky with shooting stars. When conditions are perfect, especially after 2 a.m., you might see one every minute! This year, the Perseids meteor shower started on July 17 and will conclude about Aug. 26, when our planet moves out of the Swift-Tuttle debris field. The greatest concentration of meteors is predicted for Aug. 11 through 13. During peak times, stargazers may see 60-70 shooting stars an hour. According to NASA, this August’s lunar cycle is optimal for viewing the Perseids. The new moon is on Aug. 11, meaning the skies will be fairly dark for several nights before and after. From Aug. 12-17, the waxing crescent moon will set before midnight, making for good viewing conditions in the early morning hours. Here are some tips for watching the Perseids: • Get away from light pollution. If possible, leave the city and suburbs, or at least find an unlit large open park or ballfield. Beaches, scenic overlooks, and the Pine Barrens can be excellent. If you live in a dark sky area and have an open back yard, stay home to watch! If you’re feeling ambitious, throw a shooting star party! • The best time to look is between midnight and sunrise, as the Earth’s rotation turns the upper atmosphere into the fresh, un-bulldozed path of comet debris. Use a reclining chair or blanket, and gaze up at the sky. Your eyes need about 20 minutes to adjust to the dark, so turn

off flashlights and be patient. Spend most of your time looking toward the constellation Perseus. Print out a star map for New York or Philly for the correct time and date to find Mirfak, the brightest star in Perseus, generally to the northeast. You can also locate Mirfak by downloading an astronomy smartphone app. • If you’re lucky, you’ll be treated to a steady shower of meteors streaking across the sky. Most meteors range from the size of a pebble to the size of a grain of sand, and they travel at 37 miles per second! You may see some especially bright meteors known as “fireballs,” brighter than the magnitude of the planet Venus. Rarer is a “bolide,” a type of fireball that explodes in a bright terminal flash at its end. You may wonder if any of these space rocks will fall to Earth. Yes … but not many and probably not near you. According to the American Meteor Society, 10 to 50 meteorites drop to Earth each day. “It should be remembered, however, that two-thirds of these events will occur over ocean, while another one-quarter or so will occur over very uninhabited land areas, leaving only about 2 to 12 events each day with the potential for discovery by people,” the Society said. Put another way, the odds are that any given onesquare-mile piece of land will have only one meteorite fall on it every 20,000 years. There are two documented meteorite/person collisions - 1954 in Sylacauga, Alabama, and 2009 in Essen, Germany. Both victims had only minor injuries. The dinosaurs weren’t so lucky. When an entire comet blasted into the Yucatan and Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, climate changes ended the Age of Reptiles, setting the stage for the evolution of all primates. If you miss the Perseids, you can see other meteor showers this year. The Orionid meteor shower – associated with the famous Halley’s Comet - will peak on theC night of Oct. 21-22; the Taurids on Nov. 10-11; the Leonids on Nov. 17-18; the Gemenids on Dec. 13-14; and the Ursids on Dec. 21-22.

Shelter Continued from Page 3A County shelters, or as far as Oklahoma. With overcrowding in animal shelters still an ongoing issue and puppy mills are still legal in some New Jersey counties, Auchenbach said SAVE combats the problem in a number of ways, including fostering some of their animals. “We like to let [the pets] have some time in foster homes so they are socialized with people well, it also keeps them out of the shelter environment,” she said. “That also leaves space for other animals, so it’s a revolving door.” SAVE welcomes shorter-term overnight and weekend fosters, as well. “It does tug at your heart, but we tell fosters and volunteers, you did the right thing, you gave them a good time, don’t take away from that,” Achenbach said.

“Do not do it because it hurts to put them back, if you hadn’t, they wouldn’t have had it at all. Take heart in that you did a really good thing.” The shelter occasionally lowers the prices of their animals — dog adoption fees range from $250 to $350 and $125 to $175 for cats — or through specials like “Black Cat Friday” around Thanksgiving and Black Friday. SAVE also leaves some cages and kennel runs available in case animal control stops by with a lost or stray animal. Unfortunately, this means they might have to turn away other cases, such as owner surrender. “I think for us, our biggest challenge is you want to help as many as you can, and if you’re full and someone’s calling with the saddest case, and you’re like, ‘I can’t help you today’;” Achenbach said. “Some of

the saddest ones are, ‘My parents passed away and they have these animals, I live out of state.’ We want to be able to provide a service to these people and most important, the animals.” To aide this, those at SAVE recommends the website Get Your Pet, founded by New Hope, Penn. resident Angela Marcus. The website allows current pet owners across the nation who can no longer keep or need to re-home their animal to put them up for adoption. Other users can fill out an application and potentially meet the animal. This, Marcus said, allows the pet to go from home to home, skipping the shelter all together. “A shelter isn’t a normal living environment for a pet,” Marcus said. “[The owners] get to decide who would be the best fit for their pet, so they get the peace of mind knowing that

is if there are legitimate environmental concerns that could potentially stop the project,” said Township Committeeman Daniel P. Mulligan III, who also sits on the Planning Board. “But other than that … they have the right to build.” Municipal officials will approach the property owner to see if there is a purchase opportunity for farmland preservation, Mulligan said. He said officials should look at municipal ordinances “to see if there’s anything we can do (to) make an impact with the trucks parking out there, things along those lines (and) obviously as well as with enforcement,

a consistent enforcement from the police.” The large crowd this week gave officials a chance to test out new guidelines to make the committee meetings run smoother. Officials asked members of the public to sign up if they intended to speak, used a timer to make sure residents did not exceed their allotted three minutes and kept the meeting room at the 49 person maximum capacity, as no one was allowed to stand in the meeting room. There was spillover in the hallway, however, as the audio of the meeting was broadcast to those who could not get a seat.

“We have a wonderfully diverse … group of concerned citizens out there, on both sides of the yellow line,” said Kathie Morolda, of the Monroe Township side of Halsey Reed Road. Township Committee-man Michael J. Ferrante sought to set expectations of what the town could do, or could not do. “We can request things like shade barriers, we can look at environmental Wthings,” he said. “But we fundamentally cannot ask the property owner to do something that is different than what it’s zoned for.” “At the end of the day, ,what it will come down to d

their pet is going to an environment that they’re comfortable with and can stay in touch.” SAVE also recommends Get Your Pet or shelter training classes if an animal is undergoing behavioral issues and the owner feels the need to re-home them. For Achenbach, an animal shelter should be a last resort for a pet that already has a home. “No pet that’s been in a home deserves to be in a shelter,” she said. “We do our best, but this isn’t what we want for any pet. But there are truly homeless animals out there.” Marcus echoed this sentiment, saying that her website is a “complementary service” to animal shelters.

“We want to help animals who are stray or victims of cruelty who have no other alternative,” she said. “It’s truly a benefit to the shelters.” To ensure the animals in the shelter go to deserving homes, an online or in-person application can be filled out, where two references and a call to the applicant’s veterinarian is required. If the applicant currently doesn’t own any other pets, a third reference replaces the veterinarian call. “We really try to help those who are trying to adopt on matchmaking,” Achenbach said. “We know when you walk out, and we feel like it’s a match, they’re probably going to stay in your home.”

She also said that the idea of “adopt, don’t stop” has been widely encouraged recently, taking the negative stigma away from shelter animals. SAVE currently uses social media like Facebook and websites such as Petfinder to advertise adoptable pets, and features their animals at local pet stores and events, such as Montgomery Fun Fest taking place on Sept. 9. Until then, Achenbach said, she hopes local residents consider adopting a homeless animal, especially on Clear the Shelters Day. “It’s a great national day to encourage people to adopt. I can say, anytime an animal goes home, we celebrate,” she said.

Obituaries

Andrea Fishman Andrea Fishman, actor, and beloved citizen of the East Village in New York City, died at home at the end of June. The cause of her death has not yet been determined. Andrea was born on January 7, 1951 in Hightstown, New Jersey, the first child of Louis and Rosemary Fishman. Always an insightful and extremely conscientious student with a zany sense of humor, Andrea was known for an almost insatiable interest in the people she met and her great empathy and generosity toward everyone. Friends from childhood remember her as never having said anything unkind about anyone. After graduating from Princeton Day School, she attended Sarah Lawrence College where her studies were concentrated in theater. After college, Andrea continued studying acting, living briefly in Boston, and for the remainder of her life in the East Village. She was very principled, and she had strong political views. Andrea was active in the anti-nuclear movement in the late 1970s, taking on a leadership role at the protest against the Seabrook, New Hampshire power plant. She later applied her organizing skills to protest her landlord’s refusal to provide adequate heat to his building’s residents, eventually leading a rent strike that resulted in a legal victory against the landlord. Andrea was also a longtime volunteer at WBAI radio, where she served on the Local Station Board. Andrea is survived by her sister Barbara Fishman of Hopewell, NJ; her brother Douglas Fishman of Cabin John, MD; a nephew, and three nieces.

‘A Shot In the Dark’ premieres at the Monmouth Film Festival

Shot In the Dark,” premiered at the Monmouth Film Festival on Aug. 10 at the Two River Theatre in Red Bank. “A Shot in The Dark” is a documentary following a St. John Vianney High School senior, Anthony Ferraro, while he hopes to become the first blind wrestling state champion. Filmed throughout the 2012-13 school year, Anthony was approached by his older brother, Oliver, who had the idea to track his brother’s story and show everyone about defying hardship. Anthony agreed and was then followed by cameras for most of his senior year at the high school, which is located in Holmdel. “It helped being blind,” Anthony said. “It really came down to my brother. He saw that this is not just a wrestling story; it’s more than that. It’s about not giving up and just dealing with adversity that you will always be given in life. I was just for-

tunate that my story was captured because everyone has a story to share.” Coached by Pat Smith and Tony Caravella (former outstanding head coach at Brick Memorial High School), Anthony went on to secure 122 career victories at St. John Vianney. He won two district tournament titles during his career. The film was thought of and initially directed by Oliver Ferraro, but when he needed funding and filming materials, it seemed like fate was at work when he met director Chris Suchorsky. Suchorsky wrestled with Smith at Seton Hall University. They both ended up becoming wrestling coaches at opposing high schools in the same district following their time together in college. But when Suchorsky realized he didn’t want to be a coach anymore, he lost touch with Smith.

‘Oklahoma!’ at Music Mountain Theatre

klahoma!,” Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first musical, was brought to Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville, where audiences were met with a musical and entertaining evening from director Michael Moeller. Taking place in 1906 in the title setting, cowboy Curly McLain (Harrison Pharamond) wonders onto the farm of Laurey Williams (Kristen VonWachenfeldt) in hopes of taking her to the box social dance that evening. Local women attending the dance will bring picnic baskets to be auctioned off to men throughout the town to raise money for a local schoolhouse. The men who win the auction for the picnic baskets also win a lunch date with the women who prepared it. Pharamond opens the musical with “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’.” Pharamond does not project enough, like other musical numbers throughout the production, but makes up for it with his acting. Throughout the entire production, Pharamond has you believe in his character fully and truly embodies an early 20th-century cowboy. When Curly arrives to the farm in hopes of courting Laurey, he is met by Laurey’s loveable Aunt Eller (Joan Hoffman). The two exchange a humorous banter until Laurey makes her entrance onstage. VonWachenfeldt, who dazzles with her lovely singing voice throughout the entire production, plays the young and hopeful farm girl who turns down Curly’s proposition to the box social after she feels that he has waited too long to ask her. Curly tells Laurey he has gotten the nicest carriage money can buy and the two break out into song with Aunt Eller (“The Surrey with the Fringe on Top”). But when Laurey keeps egging on Curly about the carriage, he claims he made the entire thing up. She exits the stage with the offer for the date to the box social still declined, not knowing Curly did, in fact, rent the car-

The farm hand Jud Fry (Karl Weigand), who is disturbingly obsessed with Laurey, asks her to the box social following those events. Laurey agrees to spite Curly, even though she is utterly terrified of Jud - which she admits to Aunt Eller later. In the interim, cowboy Will Parker (Matthew Robertson) returns from his trip from Kansas City. While away, Will won $50 from a competition at a fair. This is the same amount of money his girlfriend’s father, Andrew Carnes (Roger Madding), claimed he needed to obtain to marry his daughter, Ado Annie (Jaime Gedders). Little does Will know, Ado Annie has been seeing Ali Hakim (Rhett Commodaro), a Persian peddler, who seems to only be interested in one thing, but Ado Annie wants more. She confesses to Laurey she has feelings for both men. But after Andrew Carnes discovers his daughter with Ali Hakim, he forces him at gunpoint to

agree to marry Ado Annie. Back on Aunt Eller’s farm, Curly confirms Laurey is going to the box social with Jud. Trying to convince her to leave Jud in the wayside and go to the dance with him, Laurey continues to fear Jud and tells Curly she can’t break off the promised date. Curly, who refuses to take no as an answer, goes to Jud in the smoke house, where he resides, to try and convince him himself to back off Laurey. Curly tries to convince Jud to kill himself so everyone will realize how much they care about him. The conversation between the two of them eventually turns to Laurey and it becomes ugly. Curly leaves and Jud makes a promise to himself to make Laurey his bride. He breaks out into “Lonely Room,” and it was my personal favorite of the entire production. Weigand’s portrayal of Jud was the best part of the musical. He not only flawlessly portrays a mentally challenged, terrifying

and hulking farm hand, but Weigand has a tremendous singing voice, as well. He was truly the highlight of the production. After becoming confused with who she should take to the dance, Laurey purchases smelling salts from the Persian peddler Ali Hakim, who claims they come from ancient Egypt and anyone who smells them will be able to decide what choice they should make when faced with a tough decision. Laurey smells the salts before the dance and immediately falls asleep. In a dream sequence that begins with Laurey about to marry Curly, it quickly takes a dark turn when Jud appears and kills Curly. Jud drags Laurey off to a strip club and forces her to work with the rest of the dancers. When trying to escape, Jud will not let her go and forces himself upon her, pinning her down onto the floor. Laurey wakes up and is now sure Curly is the right man for her. But as the curtain closes on the first act, Jud arrives to escort Laurey off to the box social.

Honorable Mention

Deven Byrnes, the choreographer of the production, makes the musical just mesmerizing. Every dance number was completely in sync and the entire dream sequence was a wonderful ballet performance where you just could not look away. Music Mountain Theatre’s “Oklahoma!” would not be authentic without Byrnes. “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!,” continues at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179 Lambertsville, through Aug. 19.

The Amish Outlaws perform at the Middlesex County Fair on August 8.

Amish Outlaws perform at the Middlesex County Fair T he Amish Outlaws performed its wide range of music to the crowd at the Middlesex County Fair in East Brunswick on Aug. 8. The band, which just celebrated its 15th anniversary this July, performs music of various types - from Johnny Cash to Snoop Dogg. The Amish Outlaws love to surprise their audiences with what they will play next. The band began after four of the original members left the Amish lifestyle in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Amish practice a tradition called Rumspringa, where on a person’s 16th birthday, they have the opportunity to go out and live free of the Amish code and experience the “common” world. After concluding your Rumspringa, members decide if they want to return to their Amish lifestyle and be baptized into the Amish church. Most members return to the Amish way, but in some cases, they do not. “There’s a lot of reasons that I left be-

hind that kind of lifestyle,” Brother Eazy Ezekiel, the band’s bass player said. “The ultimate one is that the Amish believe, like a lot of religions do, that their way is the only way into Heaven. That anyone not born and raised Amish is basically condemned. When I met our drummer, Jakob (he’s one of my best friends and he’s Jewish), I just couldn’t believe that him and a lot of the good people who I met out here were going to go to Hell. It didn’t make sense to me; I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Even though that they were honest, loving and loyal, but because they were born into a different group they were going to be condemned. That was the ultimate straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Once I came out and made all these friends and saw the way that life was out here, I couldn’t close those blinders and go back into that world.” Like Ezekiel, his friend and former member of the Amish lifestyle, Amos Def, had the same feelings after leaving behind See AMISH OUTLAWS, Page 7B

Documentary Continued from Page 2B About 10 years later, the two reconnected on Facebook and Smith sent a video of Anthony wrestling to Suchorsky. Across the bottom of the video was a caption from Oliver Ferraro saying he wanted to make a film about Anthony and needed help producing. “I contacted Ollie. He was living out in California at the time,” Suchorsky said. “A few weeks later, Ollie came back and we basically decided that we would make a film following Anthony through his senior year trying to accomplish his goals.” Following the filming of the documentary, Oliver Ferraro, who had just moved back to New Jersey from California, passed away. But his vision lives on through his film about his brother. “My brother’s vision, as well as my vision, through this was just to help people and inspire and motivate people,” Anthony said. “It wasn’t about becoming the next state champion. That would have been unbelievable, but this is just reality. If it motivates just one person to get up and stop feeling sorry for yourself, it’s a win.” Anthony’s parents welcomed him wanting to wrestle. His mother, Sue, thought it provided him with more and felt it was a way for Anthony to act like the average teenager. “To watch him wrestle, it made me happy,” Sue said. “He was doing something. He had a goal, he was healthy. What didn’t make me happy was the pressure that I saw he had to endure. I think it was associated with the sport, as well as emotionally dealing with his visual impairment and trying to be just a normal kid at 16 years old. But wrestling was very healthy, and I think it was good discipline and it gave him the sense of accomplishment. Everyone needs that.” Anthony’s father, Robert, agreed. But he made sure to give credit, where credit was due. “It was really never hard to watch him wrestle,” Robert said. “Sue really deserves a lot of the credit because Sue’s pretty tough. I was the enabler; Sue was the tough one. Anthony’s success really comes from Sue because she has always said from the

beginning, ‘I raised my kids to fly the coop, and this one is going to fly the coop.’” Anthony always made sure to define the odds, and that was how he originally started to wrestle. “I was the type of kid when someone told me that I couldn’t do something, I said, ‘Watch me,’” Anthony said. “I just do things because I’m so stubborn and I don’t want people to tell me that I can’t. When people started saying that ‘You can’t wrestle’ - I was a really fat seventh grader, but I was going to figure it out. It gave me that drive.” Eventually Anthony did not become the first blind wrestling state champion, but he can’t say he didn’t learn anything along the way. “Losses don’t define you if you don’t let them,” Anthony said. “It’s how you bounce back from each loss and what you’ve learned from it. If you don’t take a lesson from each loss, it’s just a waste. If you take a lesson from each loss, you’ll learn from it as a person. We keep growing no matter what we’re doing.” Now, five years following Anthony’s completion of high school, he loves to play music, does work as a motivational speaker and is currently training for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, where he is learning a new craft in judo wrestling. “I learned one thing that has always stood out to me,” Anthony said. “The only disability is a bad attitude.”

Amish Outlaws Continued from Page 5B his former life. “Music was a big thing for me; travel and general curiosity about the world,” said Brother Amos. “Everything kept pulling me into different directions and none of it went back to where I grew up. It wasn’t so much as leaving as it was not returning.” But Ezekiel did make sure to point out there was nothing immoral with the Amish way of life. “The Amish lifestyle is great in a lot of ways, but ultimately it wasn’t for me,” Ezekiel said. Of the four original members of the band, three of them still play. Brothers Amos, Ezekiel and Hezekiah, who were all brought up Amish, met the band’s drummer Jakob after leaving the Amish lifestyle. Now the four of them are joined by Brothers Wyclef and Abel. “Amos and I grew up together,”

Ezekiel said. “He left after I did, and we met Hezekiah out here. Jakob, our drummer, he is the first ‘English’ friend I made, or non-Amish person. We started playing music together. Somewhere down the line I just thought that we should start a band together, and four of us being born and raised Amish, I thought that we should be called, ‘The Amish Outlaws.’ I wanted to embrace the way we grew up and how crazy life is out here.” Ezekiel, who had only heard snippets of nonsecular music before leaving the Amish lifestyle, was surprised to see what music had made him feel when he really started listening. “It was when I heard, ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd and ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ by The Beatles did music take on a new meaning to me,” he said. “I started off playing tuba, but it was way too heavy for me; so I

switched to bass. Honestly, I’m a bigger fan of listening to music than I am playing it. I do love playing it, but I just love music and the more I can be involved with it in my life the better.” The Amish Outlaws enjoy performing, but what the band members enjoy more is the people they encounter throughout their touring. “I have had a lot of bad jobs in my life and this isn’t one of them,” Ezekiel said. “It’s nice. We’re all friends, we get along, and my favorite thing about being out here and playing music is all the people we see out here and get to meet. We have people who come to see us three different times a week, and we become close friends. We don’t even consider them fans, we call them family.” For more information on The Amish Outlaws, check out their website: amishoutlaws.com.

ENTERTAINMENT BEST BETS

By Paul Hall

ummer movie season can be a whole heck of a lot of fun. As filmgoers, we are treated to the biggest stars, the biggest explosions and the most fun — sometimes all in the same movie. The Meg from director Jon Turteltaub and Warner Bros. presents us with some ridiculous throwback fun on a grand level. What if the bottom of the ocean as we know it today is not really the bottom of the ocean? That’s exactly what researchers aboard the Mana One are trying to figure out. When an expedition heads down and breaks through the layer of gasses underwater, it reveals another world teeming with creatures long thought extinct. Little could the crew know the danger that was waiting there. One of the creatures that quickly makes contact is a Megalodon, an ancient shark thought to be the largest that ever existed. Presumed extinct, it is a predator that fears nothing and can inflict damage on anything moving that threatens its personal

space. Only one man has ever traveled to these depths and confronted a Meg: Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham). To convince him to help the crew being terrorized below the surface might be impossible, but with this beast on the loose, it just may offer the perfect redemption for Jonas. Let’s be honest, The Meg is never going to win any awards for the best film of the year. There are moments that are closer to Sharknado than Jaws. But the combination of aspects of both makes for a fun, albeit ridiculous, adventure. Statham in the lead role brings a mixture of attitude and bravado that is necessary for his character. And yet, he never feels like he is taking his role too seriously. Heck, he’s fighting a giant shark that was thought to be extinct. Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) as an eccentric billionaire brings a humorous element to the film with his wisecracking nature. In fact, all of the characters take themselves just seriously enough to make the tension-filled sequences feel authentic. And it’s that authenticity which allows The

Meg to traverse the border of the ridiculous with style. A throwback to days gone by and a genre that rarely gets to perform on this level, the big budget keeps the effects just cheesy enough to be fun. I really had a good time with The Meg, though I’m not planning on going in the water any time soon. This great end-ofsummer addition is a fun ride for all the right reasons and begs to be seen in the

biggest and loudest theater you can find to feel its impact. Take a bite of The Meg‘s ridiculous fun — you’ll be glad you did. Paul’s Grade: BThe Meg Rated PG-13 Stars: Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson Director: Jon Turteltaub

Pam Hersh

Princeton sings praises of ‘Joint Effort’

he little elderly Jewish lady (yours truly), renowned in Princeton for her hats, put on one of her favorite “crowns” to go to church on Aug. 5. The visit that Sunday was to the First Baptist Church of Princeton. My purpose was not to commune with God, but rather to commune with my neighbors participating in a “Joint Effort Princeton Witherspoon-Jackson Community Safe Streets” event, an event that was hosted by a Princeton favorite son, John Bailey. Although I always had connected intellectually with the mission of the John Bailey’s “Joint Effort” summer program, my emotional, perhaps spiritual, conversion occurred as I was sitting – actually standing, shouting, and clapping – in the congregation. The pulsating and soulstirring music, plus the unrestrained joy of the people all around me, hit a chord in a way that no spoken words from a podium had done for me previously. Political consultant John Bailey, who spent his youth in Princeton, feels an unbreakable bond to Princeton’s Witherspoon-Jackson community that embraced and nurtured his family (divorced mother with five children) in the late 50s and 60s.

Based in Denver, Colorado, Mr. Bailey takes his “vacation” every summer by coming back to Princeton and giving back by producing a variety of events (youth basketball clinics, lectures, concerts, citizen awards ceremonies) over the course of 10 days. His goal is to celebrate the Witherspoon-Jackson residents who represent the culture and history and potential of Princeton’s historic black neighborhood, where I now have the honor of living. Knowing how much I adore music, Princeton Councilman Lance Liverman – who is chair of the Trustee Board of the First Baptist Church of Princeton, urged me to attend the Witherspoon-Jackson Community Gospel Fest – Stories of Black Voices Through Music and Songs. I sat in the last row of the church, closed my eyes, and pictured a different Jewish individual – a young composer from Brooklyn named George Gershwin, who attended a black Baptist Church in Folly Beach, South Carolina. His experience in the church led to his inspired creation of the brilliant score of Porgy and Bess. I share none of Gershwin’s genius, but I do share his connection to the highly charged, emotional, gospel music, punctuated with shouts and clapping of hands.

Even though I entered the sanctuary feeling a little tentative about being an interloper, my presence was embraced with the same warmth and welcome experienced by John Bailey when his family first came to town. No one cared about my skin color, my religious beliefs or my political beliefs – just about my ability to absorb joy with unfiltered gusto. The music exorcised chronic angst out of me, and, as a result, a grin replaced my anxious frown for the entire one-hour program. One of the performers at the music festival was keyboard player Samuel Frisby, executive director of the Trenton YMCA and longtime Mercer County freeholder. The music, which means so much to him and his family personally, also helps him do his professional jobs as an administrator and elected official, because the music, he said, is cleansing, restorative, loving and positive. Lance Liverman, like everyone in the congregation, became enveloped by the joyful music. He echoed Sam Frisby’s comments and added that the music conveys the spirit of love that “can be transformative –moves you to go forward in a better direction. People who are not part of the Baptist tradition have told me they want to have their funeral in our church because of the music of our Unity Choir.” The euphoria from the music, however, is transitory, even for Lance, who has been attending services at the church for nearly half a century. As a trustee board leader for two decades, Lance is concerned about the future of his church and the other predominantly black churches in the neighborhood. “Our church – all the churches in the neighborhood – are such a crucial part of our heritage, we can’t let them go away, but congregations are shrinking,” he said. Fortyseven years ago when Lance, at the age of eight, initially began attending First Baptist, the number of active congregants were nearly three times what they are today. Last year when John Bailey’ s summertime program honored the black churches in town, Lance remarked that “the history of …the black churches are stories of faith,

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B leadership, and community service and need to be told to current and future generations,” he said. “Sure, we can declare the buildings historic, but the beauty of what goes on inside those churches is what needs to be preserved. The churches have been key to the survival of the black residents in this town and key to keeping the culture and the history of the neighborhood alive. John Bailey’s efforts are heroic and so important, but he is here for only 10 days. We need to work on this all year long,” said Lance. Lance has ensured the fiscal stability of the church by guiding the church to purchase income-producing rental properties in the neighborhood as an investment. Even if the church stays on solid fiscal ground, Lance worries about losing more congregants who make it possible for the church to offer programs to feed and clothe the poor, connect people to their heritage – and relieve angst of a handful non-Baptists transformed by the its soulful music.

Like a Bullitt! Hot Cars of 1968

We Can Help! You don’t need an appointment for our fast, courteous service. Come by and visit, before it’s time to take that ride.

By ReMIND Magazine

he classic San Francisco car chase scene in the movie Bullitt featured Steve McQueen driving a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, affectionately known as the Bullitt, being tailed by a 1968 Dodge Charger. Originally, the full-sized Ford Galaxie was supposed to chase the Bullitt, but the car was too heavy for the jumps through the bumpy, mazy streets of San Fran. Made popular by the movie, the second generation Dodge Charger was introduced for wide production in 1968. Ford reintroduced the 2008 Bullitt after the Mustang’s revival in 2005. The Bullitt’s design was modified to mirror the classic ’68 shape featured in the movie. As in 1968, the car was stripped of badging, scoops and spoilers. The only location on the car boasting the name of this beast is the faux gas cap on the trunk. This limited run was only available in 2008 and 2009. Images of window stickers have been

popping up on the internet for a 2018 Mustang Bullitt, getting enthusiasts all excited; however, Ford denies the rumors. … more ’68 Muscle Pontiac GTO As the youngest division head in General Motors, John DeLorean (remember Back to the Future, anyone?) is widely known as the “father” of the Pontiac GTO. Some credit the GTO for starting the trend of muscle cars, and in ’68 the GTO was Motor Trend‘s Car of the Year. 1968 Chevy Camaro To compete with the Ford Mustang, GM launched the Chevrolet Camaro in 1967. Slight design changes to the grille and taillights were made for the 1968 Camaro. More than 220,000 1968 Camaros were made, signaling to General Motors that the public was hungry for American muscle cars.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. I love living in the Greater Princeton area! This area is blooming with culture, history and renovation, yet it is still a place where you can enjoy a quiet evening, as you would in a country estate. Princeton is also an international city. I have quite a few clients who relocated from other countries for continuing education or work, and I find joy in helping them settle in our town and feel at home as they transition from their homeland.

. Is there a certain community in the area which has become your main focus? A. I enjoy having a very versatile and expansive business throughout the area. Nonetheless, quite a bit of my focus goes to Princeton Landing. I have lived on Sayre Drive for over a decade and have sold over 300 homes there. Because my family and I call Princeton Landing our home, I am very knowledgeable about the market there. It is such a beautiful, park-like community with all of the amenities of a 5-star resort and close proximity to major roadways and Princeton Junction Train Station. Many of my clients have found their perfect home in Princeton Landing and I am happy to call them neighbors.

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. The Real Estate market in Princeton is thriving and staying consistent year-round. There is a lot of activity around the new construction projects which I am pleased to be representing. Also, there is a growing interest coming from local and international . What is your current focus is Real Estate? investors which is a great contribution to the stability of the market, A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming considering that investors are more likely to purchase during the New Construction in Princeton. It seems that quieter months in order to avoid bidding wars which are common almost every street I turn on, there is at least in Princeton. one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth. Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly of Princeton interested in new construction projects.
