Bridge closure a bane for Boro business
Mind control (and Twinkies) Cults, scams and eugenics: the disturbing history of Hopewell Borough’s mysterious castle
By Joe eMansKi
jemanski@communitynews.org
By Diccon hyaTT There’s a giant building that looms on the commanding heights overlooking Hopewell Borough. Its view is concealed from the town below by a stand of trees. But in the winter, after the leaves fall, passersby can catch a glimpse. The view is best from the graveyard next door. It’s a huge, strangely shaped mansion of brick, with two towers at its corners, one round and one square. It is, technically, a Victorian house, but everyone in town calls it The Castle. It’s the kind of eerie building that attracts urban legends: that it has secret tunnels; that it was once the headquarters of a cult; that it is like a maze inside; and that it has ties to the origins of one of a powerful corporation. Not only are these urban legends true, but The Castle protects yet stranger and darker secrets. The Castle was built by Webster Edgerly, a 19th-century See CASTLE, Page 12

From Pennington to the State House Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio has trod a steady path of civic involvement By Maya eashWaRan When Elizabeth Maher Muoio was sworn into the New Jersey General Assembly in 2015, she received her committee assignments for the coming term.

ture, she was was placed on two committees—Regulated Professions and Women and Children—out of the available 27. “You know, there’s only one woman on the Budget Committee,” she said to the speaker of the Assembly. When her next term began, Muoio was assigned to the Budget Committee, laying the stepping stones for her current role as New Jersey State Treasurer. Today, she oversees 14 divisions, handles a $38 billion budget, and works alongside an allfemale leadership team. Inside the Treasury office in Trenton are reminders of the political figures that have worked for the department throughout history. Documents
and photographs of prominent bureaucrats are framed and hung on the walls. Among these, Muoio’s photo stands out. She is one of a handful of women who have served in this office. Muoio, 56, has always been interested in government. “It wouldn’t have shocked me in high school to hear that I would have ended up in elected office,” she said. “I was really involved with student government in high school and college. So when we moved to New Jersey and I would read stuff in the paper about things going on in the community, I decided to get involved in the way I knew.” A lifelong Democrat, Muoio recognizes the essential role See MUOIO, Page 21

Mike Gray had a sense of what was coming before most people did. Gray, of Sourland Cycles in Hopewell Borough, had known for some time that the HopewellRocky Hill Road bridge over Bedens Brook, on the eastern end of the borough, was on the list of area bridges that were in need of repair. He had learned it while researching potential bike routes through the region. There were further hints when PSE&G moved its utility poles back from the road in January. “Then you knew sooner or later, this bridge was going to go,” Gray says. However, Gray and other business owners in the borough say they had no official word of the pending closure, from the county, municipal governments or anyone else, until signs went up shortly before construction was set to begin. Nor did they know until then that the project would take an estimated five months to complete. The road is closed to all traffic until work is complete. The impact of closing one of the only ways into town has been significant for many businesses in the borough, with many reporting declines rangSee BRIDGE, Page 11

Board of Education should rethink tax increase
I’ve been pretty quiet since retiring from the school board, but I feel I have to speak out in opposition to the district’s proposed 5.27% tax increase. During my six years on the board, there was unanimous agreement, regardless of political position, that there needs to be a balance between investment in our schools and the burden we place on our taxpayers. Following this principle we were able to keep the tax burden low (under cap) and take advantage of some of our surplus sav-

Hopewell Township has the opportunity to join an energy collaboration with other towns in Mercer and Hunterdon counties that would increase the amount of renewable energy supplied to Township residents, lower energy costs for electric customers, and fight the PennEast pipeline that is threatening to tear its way through Hopewell Township. The idea with green energy aggregation, as it’s called, is that towns band together to increase our purchasing power with electricity suppliers. Because there are so many customers bargaining as one, they can buy electric supply at a lower cost—and with a higher proportion of renewables—than would be possible for a single resident on her own (and because aggregation is done with an entire municipality, state law offers greater protections than single residents have when purchasing electricity on the de-regulated market). It’s like shopping in bulk at a warehouse store: because electric suppliers get more customers, they can offer lower prices. Further, because it decreases the entire region’s dependence on natural gas (see the collaboration with other towns), it hits PennEast where it hurts: its wallet. With less demand for natural gas, fewer pipelines that threaten

ings to achieve our funding goals. According to the March 2019 public hearing, the current Board of Ed is increasing the General Fund Tax by 5.27%. They are able to do this through a combination of: spending to cap; using a (health benefit) waiver to spend over cap; and using taxing authority to spend the amount below cap that previous boards did not spend. This is troubling and quite a departure from previous policy, but what makes it more problematic for me is this is happening in the context of decreasing enrollment. The board is asking for more money to support fewer students. Why? As far as I can see, simply because they feel they should tap into as much funding as they can regardless of origin or of current need, lest they lose access to these funds in the future. What they fail to mention is that the money they intend to get is not a surplus, but taxes that have yet to be levied. Hopewell Valley has a very large surplus that they could easily be used in part to fund their plans for the year. It doesn’t seem that unreasonable to suggest a more balanced approach to funding, using a mix of surplus money and tax levies that come in under or near to cap. School board member Adam Sawicki has suggested just such a measured, prudent path. This year, Hopewell continues to have the greatest enrollment decline in the county, and yet: Robbinsville, which could spend to cap, chose not to; Ewing, which could have added health benefit waiver spending, chose not to; and West Windsor-Plainsboro, which could have authorized spending previous below cap savings, chose not to. None of the other districts are lamenting “the loss” of taxpayer dollars that they could have charged. Finally, it is worth noting that there are many areas in the school budget that could be reduced through increased efficiency. This is especially evident at the high school level, where the number of class offerings over the last few years has doubled, with class sizes for many of these offering well under 15 students, some even in single digits. The district should eliminate undersubscribed options and look for other savings through efficiency, then consider using existing surplus funds before asking the already overtaxed citizens of Hopewell Valley to pay even more taxes.

Safe walking should be a community priority
At the Hopewell Township Committee’s March 11 budget meeting, committee member John Hart found the Safe Routes to School program worthy of his ire, saying the “safe walking thing is ridiculous.” You can see Mr. Hart’s comments for yourself at bit.ly/saferouteshopewell. The discussion begins at 1:32:40 and continues for less than five minutes. What irked him was the idea of Public Works employees taking the time to make the Safe Routes paths for kids to get
to HVCHS and Timberlane. Committee member Kevin Kuchinski started to say that it was our residents whose kids … But an exasperated Mr. Hart cut him off to offer this: “It’s always ‘Our residents, our kids,’ they don’t think about the price!” When you are on the Hopewell Township Committee, is it not always our residents and our kids who are the priority? And who doesn’t think about the price? The HTC has had four public budget meetings, and Mr. Hart has been announced as “not here” for two of them. Told at the March 25 committee meeting that busing costs parents, outside of certain circumstances, $500 a year if they live within a two-mile walk of the school, he offered no substantive response. The idea of dual-income families, like mine, surrendering $500 and time with our kids instead of seeing them off to school doesn’t make much sense, at least for those whose work schedules are fortunate enough to allow taking our kids to and from school. Add to that our cold days during the school year, and it should be no wonder that it’s busy in front of schools at drop-off and pick-up. It’s apparent, though, that Mr. Hart doesn’t understand that or simply doesn’t care. Doesn’t our community—including our kids—deserve a better advocate?

Longtime chiropractor Dr. Fogler also treating weight loss
William Fogler with his daughters Kyla, left, and Ava, hiking last summer in the Delware Water Gap.
Eighteen years ago Dr. William Fogler returned to his hometown, and opened up his first chiropractic office in Hopewell Borough. He then opened a second office above the Stop and Shop on Denow Road. Then six years ago he made the move to solo practice in the Pennington Market Shopping Center. “I am born and bred in Hopewell. It was a great place to grow up, and is a great place to raise a family”, Fogler said. He attended Hopewell Valley Schools K-12, and currently his two daughters go to school in the district. While growing up, Fogler was an active soccer player, swimmer, and track runner. He continued his education at the University of South Florida, majoring in business. “When I was in college I was dating a girl whose father was a chiropractor. Her father explained what he did from a health and wellness standpoint, working with healing a body. What he taught me made a lot of sense. He adjusted me, and in only two visits the restless legs I had since childhood was gone. I made the decision then, that’s what I’m going to do.” From the University of South Florida, Fogler graduated, with honors, as a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Now, in addition to chiropractic, Dr. Fogler is helping people safely and effectively lose weight. The program is called ChiroThin, a six week natural diet program designed solely for chiropractors to administer. “It is a whole food, low-glycemic, and anti-inflammatory diet,” explains Dr. Fogler. The program involves being monitored weekly to check the patient’s progress. In Dr. Fogler’s experience patients lose on average 21 pounds in six weeks and drop two to three dress sizes. The current record for the office is 45 pounds in just six weeks. “People are burning fat on this diet and losing inches,” Dr.Fogler said. “Because this eating plan reduces inflammation, many patients are also lowering their blood pressure and blood sugars, and reducing joint pain throughout their bodies. Many have been able to reduce or eliminate their diabetes medicine, because their bodies are starting to function as they are supposed to,” Dr. Fogler said. After the six weeks, patients are re-assessed. Dr. Fogler takes into account how much weight was lost, the patient’s lifestyle, and what their goals are moving forward. Dr. Fogler said, “The patients are able to keep the weight off after they finish the six weeks, because they have the tools to know how to do it. The program will get the weight off, but more importantly, it helps establish new eating behaviors for long term success.” As for Dr. Fogler, he continues to lead an active lifestyle and is always on the go, especially with his two daughters. If you’d like more information about the program, please call the office at 609-737-2006 or stop by in person at his office in the Pennington Market Shopping Center. You can also look up Fogler Chiropractic on Facebook or www.Foglerchiropractic.com. The consultation to see if you are a good candidate for this program is always free. Space is limited though, as Dr. Fogler works personally with each patient he accepts. May 2019 | Hopewell Express5
News & Notes Mayors express concern over proposed school budget Hopewell Township Mayor Kristin McLaughlin, Pennington Mayor Joe Lawver and Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul Anzano joined together in a statement to voice their concern over the Hopewell Valley Regional School District’s tentative budget, which is scheduled for a final public hearing on May 6 at 7:30 p.m. Previously, the mayors had issued a joint statement thanking the State of New Jersey for providing Hopewell Valley with the highest percent increase of school aid in Mercer County. Given that the Hopewell Valley Regional School District is experiencing the most significant declines in enrollment in Mercer County, the mayors suggested in their prior release that they were hopeful that Hopewell Valley municipalities would experience property tax relief through this increase in state aid. Instead, the board of education recently passed a tentative budget that includes a 5.27% general fund tax levy increase, which is more than double the increase of other Mercer County public school districts. In their statement, the mayors said: “We have always supported our schools and take great pride in their quality. It’s one of the key reasons that families choose to move to Hopewell Valley. As a group, we publicly partnered with the district to support its $36-million referendum several years ago.” “We were given assurances at the time by the board and administration that the referendum would provide a solid financial foundation for the future and help keep the school’s long-term operating budget in-check,” McLaughlin said. “The district’s own financial reports indicate that it is well positioned financially, without the need for a significant operating budget increase. As an example, increases for our outstanding teachers have already been factored into the district’s operating expenses. In fact, mediated fact finding has been completed and our teachers have shared that a deal is imminent.” “Why aren’t we seeing the promised savings from the referendum?” Lawver said. Anzano said he is concerned about the school budget and its effects on the Hopewell Borough residents, for the upcoming school year and beyond. “There is a spending trend that is difficult to justify, in my opinion, and I am interested in learning more of the reasons for the tax increase and the initia-
tives planned or implemented to slow that trend,” he said. “There is a process for preparing a budget and for the public to comment on it and that is at the school board level during the hearings. I would encourage every resident who is interested and similarly concerned to attend the school budget hearing on May 6.” During the five years ending June 2018, the mayors said, the school board was able to amass more capital reserve and surplus savings than other regular Mercer County school districts of similar size, according to their audited (and publicly available) fund balances. “There does not seem to be a pressing reason for such a large infusion of more taxpayer funded cash,” Lawver said. School board vice president Adam Sawicki voted against the school budget increase and offered an alternative budget proposal. “I recommend that the community consider this sensible alternative as it maintains the same programs and staffing levels as the Board’s tentative budget, while relying less on new taxes,” Lawver said. The mayors say the recommended alternative budget better balances use of surplus funds over the next three years. Sawicki has also suggested looking for other cost-savings and reducing known inefficiencies. According to the 2019 enrollment report for the Hopewell Valley Regional Schools, 291 seniors will be graduating this year, and in the fall 210 kindergarteners will enter district schools. Unless dramatic move-ins occur over the summer, there will be 80 (or 2.4%) fewer students. This adds to a multi-year trend that has seen enrollment fall by more than 500 students. Spending significantly more taxpayer money on fewer enrolled students is not responsible, the mayors said, and higher taxes may very well contribute to additional enrollment declines in the years ahead. Prior to this year’s proposed increase, HVRSD overtook other districts in Mercer County and now has the highest per pupil spending in the county. “We strongly encourage the school district not to compound this problem by imposing an excessive tax increase on residents,” McLaughlin said. The mayors encourage residents of Hopewell Valley to learn more by going to the school board’s May 6 public hearing. “I would encourage our residents to

Fairgrown Farm opens on Aunt Molly Road
Borough locals James and Alex Klett have opened a new communityfocused farm on Hopewell’s Aunt Molly Road. The Klett brothers’ business, Fairgrown Farm, grows seasonal vegetables using natural methods. Along with hosting the first-ever Hopewell Farmers Market on Broad Street, Fairgrown is offering farm shares to the residents of Hopewell Valley, Montgomery, and Princeton. The pair had been farming for several years in Montgomery when their growing needs prompted a search for new land. The decision to move to an 8-acre field on Aunt Molly Road was “obvious,” the brothers say, since the Klett family has lived in the Borough since 1963. The Kletts say their pristine pasture is untouched by the plow and the soil on the new farm is healthy and clear of any unwanted chemicals. Fairgrown is in the process of becoming a certified organic farm. The brothers say their crops will be grown while avoiding even pesticides that many other organic farms use. Fairgrown is now offering farm shares to those looking to support local farmers and get seasonal produce. Farm-share programs, also known as communitysupported agriculture, allows members to purchase a season’s worth of produce in advance, helping farmers pay for the high initial costs of planting. Fairgrown plans to offer both delivery and market share options. With delivery share, households will receive weekly farmer-curated boxes of assorted vegetables at their front door. Market-share customers will be receive a credit that can be used anytime at the Hopewell Farmers Market. The first crops of
broccoli, lettuce, kale and cabbage are expected to arrive in June. More information is available online at fairgrownfarm.com or by phone at (609) 731-6063.
2019 Stream Cleanups a success
Proudly serving the Mercer County community for over 15 years!
About 13,000 pounds of trash were removed from local rivers and streams by 690 volunteers during Earth Day celebrations on April 6 and 13 in The Watershed Institute’s 13th Annual Stream Cleanup. At the Watershed Reserve, about 70 volunteers removed 185 pounds of trash from around Wargo Pond, along the trails and down Wargo Road on April 13. Volunteers pulled shopping carts, rusted barrels, signs, diapers, cans, bottles and other items from our waterways. Plastics in all forms—from single-use drinks, bags, cups, food wrappers—was the most common trash item removed each year. Over the past 13 years, some 6,000 volunteers have removed more than 117,910 pounds of garbage.

TWW is meeting federal and state water-quality standards. We are pleased to report that our Disinfection Byproducts Reduction Plan, launched in the second half of 2018, has significantly reduced the levels of Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs), specifically Haloacetic Acids (HAA5s) and Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), in our drinking water. The levels—16.4 and 23.2 micrograms per liter (ug/L) respectively—are now below state and federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards, which are 60 micrograms per liter for HAA5s and 80 micrograms per liter for TTHMs. Take a look at our sampling data from February 2018-2019. We are maintaining water quality, strengthening our day-to-day operations and advancing important capital projects: rolling out our corrosion-control project and our Lead Service Line Replacement Program, which replaces the lead or galvanized water service lines at private residences with safer copper lines. And, we are finalizing the hiring of new customer service representatives to eliminate long hold times for our customers. Water-quality excellence. It’s our sole purpose.

Quilt show set for May 18
Hopewell Valley Quilters are planning their annual Pennington Day show to be held on May 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Toll Gate Grammar School cafeteria. Organizers say quilts on display will reflect a great variety of styles, from recently made quilts based on traditional patterns to contemporary works of fiber art. This year’s show will include three special exhibits. The quilters challenged themselves to make small quilts with “It’s Not Easy Being Green” as a theme. There will also be a display of antique quilts featuring the color green as well as creative interpretations of the show theme. A third special exhibit will show other hand crafted things quilters like to make with needles and thread. Admission to the show is $1, and organizers say proceeds will benefit Pennington Day 2019. Hopewell Valley Quilters is an informal group that has been meeting for over 35 years. The group meets both in the daytime and in the evening in the Hopewell Township branch of Mercer County Library. All are welcome. More information about the quilt group will be available at the show. Toll Gate Grammar School is located on the corner of South Main Street and East Curlis Avenue in Pennington. Entry to the show is on the north side of the school building. For more information about the show, contact Nancy Breland by e-mail (nbreland@tcnj.edu) or by phone (609) 737- 2527.
Hidden Gardens to be on display June 1
The Friends of Hopewell Public Library will host the “Hidden Gardens of Hopewell” on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The self-guided tour highlights some of Hopewell Borough’s beautiful and unique gardens, showcasing a variety of garden types and plants from eclectic to formal, and beyond. Tickets to the seven-garden tour of Hopewell Borough can be purchased in advance online at redlibrary.org or at the Hopewell Public Library, 13 E. Broad Street for $20. Tickets will also be sold at the library for $25 on the day of the event. The tour will be held rain or shine. Organizers say proceeds will go to the Friends of the Hopewell Public Library, a nonprofit organization that serves as the fundraising and advocacy group for the Hopewell Public Library. More than 90% of the funding for library materials and wi-fi access at the library are provided by donations to the Friends of Hopewell Public Library. For more information, contact redlibraryfriends@gmail.com or call the library at (609) 466-1625.
BRIDGE continued from Page 1 ing from 10 to 40 percent, with fears that it could get worse. Exacerbating the problem is Hopewell’s isolated location in northern Mercer County. The borough has relatively few roads in and out of town. The detour of Princeton Avenue to Cherry Valley Road to Province Line Road is 3 miles long, and the light on Cherry Valley Road at rush hour is a long wait under normal circumstances. “Customers come in and say, ‘Oh my God, how is this detour affecting you? It took me 30 minutes to get here from Princeton,’” Gray says. “We’re very grateful they’re making the trek, and we’re very grateful they’re concerned about us. We’ve had a few people ask us if we could stay open a little later because they can’t get here sooner. Of course we’ll wait.” Gray hasn’t crunched the numbers in terms of lost business yet, but says weekday traffic in his shop is definitely slower. “Weekends have stayed strongish, but it’s springtime in a bike shop,” he says. “If we’re not busy (now), we’ve got problems.” *** Two separate bridges cross the brook at the construction site. At the time the project started, one of the spans had a sufficiency rating of 58.2 out of 100, and was considered functionally obsolete. Both will be replaced with single-span, precast concrete. The county awarded the contract for the work on Jan. 24 to Midlantic Construction LLC of Barnegat, which had submitted a bid of $2,016,962.82.

Ellen Abernathy, of Boro Bean, says her café has seen its biggest decline in business in the 7 a.m. hour, when she’s used to serving commuters on their way to work. “That part we’re definitely taking a hit, but then later we’re doing fine,” she says. “We’re down a little bit, but I don’t think it’s tremendous.” But many businesses in town have seen measurable declines in sales since the road closed the second week of March. Jon McConaughy, of Brick Farm Market, estimates that he is down 30 to 40% compared to last year, and he says
CHINA CHEF RESTAURANT
other businesses, like Antimo’s Italian Kitchen and Michael’s Deli, are down as much or more. “Back of the envelope, collectively we’re losing somewhere between $1015K a day,” McConaughy says. “It’s really hard to come up with a real number because as a business, you expect to be up year over year.” McConaughy questions why the project was given a 150-day time to completion, considering the impact that the road closure has had on the community. Adding to his fears is the separate and even more onerous truck detour that has
been posted, requiring trucks to use Carter Road and U. S. 206 to get around the construction. “Some businesses are starting to hear from their suppliers they’re going to have to raise delivery charges, because volume is going down on the orders and they have to drive extra time to get here,” he says. The 150-day time to completion feels that much worse when people consider what happened with the Alexander Road bridge between Princeton and West Windsor. That bridge also had structural defects, but because of its importance in keeping traffic moving in rush hour, down in busy Princeton, it was repaired in less than two weeks. McConaughy says he has met with county officials to discuss the idea of expediating the Bedens Brook bridge repairs, but there is no process in place for such a thing, and so far he has been unable to make anything happen. Abernathy said she’s determined to stay positive. Although she didn’t know about the closure until a few weeks before it happened, she says she’s not sure what she would have changed if she had known. She has adjusted her staffing in response, but she says regulars still come in, maybe even more regularly in an effort to support the businesses in their difficult situation. “We’re trying to be as positive as we can and keep things going,” she says. “I do a lot on social media. We really can’t change the situation...we’ll get through it. “Once it opens up again, I think people will readily come back.”

CASTLE continued from Page 1 health guru who made his fortune selling mail order books through an organization he created called the Ralston Health Club. At the height of its popularity, the club claimed 800,000 members and included former American presidents as well as, supposedly, Queen Victoria herself. The club was so popular that Purina Mills founder William Danforth paid Edgerly to endorse his company’s cereal products, going so far as to enter a partnership with Edgerly and change the name of his company to Ralston Purina in 1902. Edgerly was clearly a notable person in his own time, yet, strangely, he is not the subject of any biography or history book. Before Ralston Purina was bought by Nestle in 2001, the company even took steps to erase Edgerly from its own corporate history, instead attributing the name to a fictional “Doctor Ralston.” The real history of Edgerly and The Castle would have likely been forgotten Webster Edgerly built his Hopewell mansion in the 1890’s over and if not for the work of an archaeologist around an existing structure. named Janet Six. Six grew up in northern California and dropped out of college at age 18 and eight years, Six lived and worked in the of Pennsylvania, Six chose to make a detailed study of Ralston Heights and moved to Hawaii, where she ran a sport turret of the old mansion. At first, the Castle’s inhabitants knew The Castle for her thesis. It was apparfishing boat. It was there she became friends with little about their home’s past. One hint ently the first time anyone, anywhere, Dawn Roberts, whose family had come came with the discovery of a Ralston had investigated the topic seriously. “When I first got to U. Penn, my into possession of a large, old mansion Purina company magazine in the attic in a place Six had never heard of called that mentioned a connection to Edgerly. adviser was like, ‘This cannot be absent Six, who was studying archaeology at from history. You must be looking in Hopewell, New Jersey. Years later, when Six returned to col- Columbia, was intrigued and began to the wrong places,’” Six says. “After five years, he finally conceded that this was lege, the Roberts family offered to let research the history of the house. Later, when she was studying for absent from history. That no one had her stay at The Castle in exchange for working as its caretaker. For the next her master’s degree at the University written about it, and it had been inten-
tionally swept under the rug.” Six spent years delving into the life and work of Edgerly. She soon discovered there were very good reasons that the Ralston Purina Corporation preferred to be associated with the fake “Dr. Ralston” to the real Webster Edgerly and the tenets of the Ralston Health Club. According to Six’s doctoral thesis, “Material Symbol: The Role of the Garden in the Transmission of Meaning,” Edgerly was born in 1852 and grew up in Massachusetts, the son of Rhoda Lucinda Stone, who named him in honor of the famous orator Daniel Webster. Edgerly graduated from Boston University with a law degree in 1876 and founded the Ralston Health Club that same year. The name of the club was a tribute to his mother. He began writing books for the Ralston Health Club under the pen name Edmund Shaftesbury. He was a prolific writer, churning out at least 80 titles. At first, the books focused on elocution and oration, and exercises to strengthen the chest. Shaftesbury’s writings found a ready audience of students who wished to improve their speaking and fortify themselves against disease. especially tuberculosis. Edgerly married, but left Massachusetts under a cloud of scandal after he suspected his young wife of having an affair. He arranged a sting operation at a hotel where the lovers were meeting and burst in on them. Six says he was then “run out of town,” (not for the last time in his life) and moved to Topeka, Kansas, where he met Danforth. He

later moved to Washington, where he lived across the street from scientific luminaries Alexander Graham Bell and Nikola Tesla. In addition to running the health club, Edgerly offered elocution and acting lessons, and wrote and acted in a number of plays. As the Ralston Health Club grew in popularity, so too did the scope of Edgerly’s advice to his followers. Over time it grew from a series of breathing exercises into something of a religion or even a cult. Ralstonism became a uniquely American combination of occultism, health fad-ism, hucksterism, and appalling levels of racism. In an attempt to understand the mind that designed The Castle, Six bought every Ralston title she could get her hands on from antiques dealers, collectors, and Internet auctions, in the end collecting 55 of the books. The writings describe an incoherent and scientifically deficient belief system that was nevertheless highly effective at making money for the author. The books were extremely expensive: One title, Higher Magnetism, sold for $25 in 1892, the equivalent of $650 today. By purchasing a book, one automatically became enrolled in the Ralston Health Club. Subsequently, members could advance through “levels” of the club by buying more books, with the goal of achieving immortality as a Level 100 Ralstonite. (“The highest real honor that can be conferred on any human being,” Edgerly wrote.) To recognize one another, Ralstonites wore black silk
Webster Edgerly, founder of Ralstonism and, as archaeologist Janet Six has unearthed, an unabashed white supremicist. armbands called Ralstonettes. Six says there was an element of multilevel marketing involved in how the Ralston Health Club was promoted. By buying four Ralston books, members received a fifth for free, and were encouraged to found their own local Ralston franchises. Edgerly also pioneered the art of advertising to children. Ads for Purina’s Ralston Breakfast Health Food offer free wagons to children who buy enough cereal, and call
on young readers to ask their grocer to stock Ralston products and pester their parents to buy them. Shaftesbury created an acronym to explain the RALSTON name: it stood for Regime, Activity, Light, Strength, Temperation, Oxygen, and Nature. The Regime was a series of activities designed to stop the leakage of “vital force” from the human body. This included refraining from walking in straight lines, only making smooth motions, and walking exclusively on the balls of one’s feet. “Sudden jerks or jars can cause a very expensive leak of vital force,” Edgerly wrote. “The blow upon the heel in walking is unnatural and jerky.” This resulted in a style of motion that looked odd to outsiders. And Edgerly evidently practiced what he preached. Six discovered a New York newspaper review of a play that Edgerly wrote and performed in which he played Christopher Columbus. The critic, unaware of the Ralstonite practice of toe walking, was baffled by the sight of a man with enormous calves mincing around the stage on the balls of his feet. Six says that when she lived in The Castle, she would break out Ralston books at parties make the guests go through the silly exercises found inside. These exercises were said to increase a quality that Ralston called “personal magnetism,” a phrase he coined, perhaps having been influenced by Anton Mesmer’s concept of “animal magnetism.” Edgerly asserted that if one’s personal magnetism were powerful

enough, he or she could communicate telepathically over great distances and even control the thoughts and actions of other people. Edgerly instructed his followers on every aspect of their lives, including how often to have sex (no more than once every eight days) and with whom. He prescribed that young men have sex with women who are old enough to be their grandmothers, and when they were old enough to marry, in middle age, they choose a bride about 20 years their junior. When Edgerly married for a second time at age 42, it was to an 18 year old. Despite this, the Ralston philosophy was remarkably generous towards women for its time. Edgerly encouraged women to garden and ride bicycles, and asserted that women naturally had more personal magnetism than men. While Edgerly was apparently less sexist than the norm, he was every bit as racist. “The dark side of the wackiness of Ralstonism is eugenics,” Six says. “He wants to castrate everyone of color and make a master race.” Edgerly’s writings consider whites to be a superior race, and all other races to be “antiracial.” He advocated that brown-skinned men be subjected to castration to prevent their passing their supposedly inferior intellectual capabilities along to their offspring (in Ralston’s book it was OK for white men to procreate with brown-skinned women, as women were thought only to pass their temperament, not their intellect, to See CASTLE, Page 14

CASTLE continued from Page 13 children.) On this subject, Edgerly was not an outlier In Edgerly’s day, the eugenics movement was abusing Darwin’s theory of natural selection to seek to breed an “improved” human race. Six notes that while this movement was taken the farthest by Hitler, in the United States, about 20,000 people were sterilized in the name of eugenics. “I believe in a new race. I believe that it should be strictly Caucasian because nature, the Bible, History and science speak plainly and conclusively on this question,” Edgerly wrote. As Edgerly’s fame and wealth grew, he decided to found a community where his followers could gather to learn from his wisdom, and where a new race could be established. He settled on Hopewell, where there was plenty of farmland, access to railroads, and a pre-existing infrastructure to serve his “modern, scientific, garden of Eden.” Beginning in 1894, he began purchasing land on the heights overlooking Hopewell, laying out a plan for “the future city of Ralston.” The city included 400 home lots, six small farms, and six palatial estates including his own. Notably lacking in the city of Ralston plans were fire stations, utilities, stores, hospitals, or public buildings of any kind other than an enormous “Temple of Ralston” at the center of the community. It seems Edgerly had pioneered another staple of modern American life: the sterile housing subdivision. Unlike many utopian communi-
ties designed around the same time as Ralston Heights, there was no pretense of equality: Ralston’s settlement was intended for “Capitalists from Philadelphia and moneyed men from New York.” The first building to go up was Ralston’s home, which was actually expanded outward from an existing house built by a Civil War colonel who fought for the U.S. The expanded house was a 27,000-square-foot structure built of exotic dark wood and faced with bricks imported from England. Six describes the layout as “a giant maze of interconnecting rooms and doors.” No two rooms are alike. The third floor was devoted to classrooms for teaching elocution. The overall effect of the building is unsettling. Six lived in the house for eight years. “It definitely had a resonance,” she says. “It had an energy. I don’t know how to explain it ... it had an effect on you. I brought my advisor there from Penn, and he got lost. It would disorient you. It was kind of a mystery house. ” The house features an odd addition, a small room that Six at first assumed had been stuck on after the house was done. But it turned out Edgerly himself had built it. Edgerly, who split his time between his Washington Home and Hopewell, claimed only to sleep one hour per night, which partly explains his manic work output. “It’s hard to write 85 books, even bad ones,” Six says. Edgerly’s furious, and, Six speculates, possibly cocaine-fueled typing evidently drove his young wife crazy, so he built an ancillary building where he could expound
See The Castle for yourself on June 1 The Castle is privately owned, but curiosity seekers will get a chance to look at it on Saturday, June 1, on the Historic Gardens of Hopewell tour. The tour will run from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. and includes the Ralston House, the “Buddha’s Garden of Second Chances” on its neighboring Castle Lane property. Tickets are available for $25 at the Hopewell Public Library. on the principles of Ralstonism without disturbing anyone else. As if the grand edifice of Ralston Manor did not sufficiently communicate the wealth and power of its owner, the estate included sprawling gardens and greenhouses. There were orchards, a vineyard, cottages, wells with windmills, water reservoirs, a water tower, a cement sidewalk network two miles long, an icehouse, a gazebo, and other outbuildings. The garden included continuously flowing ponds. Edgerly planted maples from Japan, spruce from Norway, and ginkgo trees from China. He cultivated tropical fruits and flowers. He would send garlands and fruit baskets down to the residents of Hopewell to overawe the townsfolk with his mastery over nature. Six, who combed through the
Hopewell Herald for mentions of Edgerly, said his publicity campaign appeared to work for a while. Edgerly’s wealth and gifts earned him goodwill in the town. But then he overplayed his hand, and embarked on a campaign of warning the town residents about the dangers of matches and the vulnerability of their village to the ravages of fire. To help remedy the scare that he created, he donated land for a new water reservoir, and offered to build it himself. Edgerly did a poor job building the reservoir, and it cracked within two months of completion, causing the town’s water to taste of asphalt. This episode led to Edgerly being run out of town for the second time in his life. He and his wife retained ownership of Ralston Heights, but moved to Trenton. His scheme of a racial utopia never came to fruition. Only 25 of the lots sold, and Six found no evidence that any homes other than Edgerly’s were ever built. Six said the real estate project likely failed because there was no employment nearby for anyone who might want to take up residence there, and that Edgerly was probably asking too high a price for the land. Edgerly died in 1926 while undergoing a colonoscopy in Trenton. The Ralston Health Club died out along with Edgerly, but its name was carried on in the Ralston Purina corporation. While it was best known for its pet food, Ralston Purina continued to make products marketed as fit for human consumption. In 1984, before it was itself gobbled up by Nestle, Ralston Purina acquired Conti-

nental bakeries, the maker of Twinkies. Edgerly’s wife moved back to Ralston Heights and sold off most of the estate, and lived in the mansion until 1955. Her own daughters continued to live in the great house, slowly selling off the remaining grounds piecemeal to stay afloat while the Castle fell into disrepair. Feral cats and wild animals moved in and the home took on a ramshackle appearance. Six says it’s likely that many of the urban legends originated around this time when the home was dilapidated. In 1971, one of the sisters lost the house in a poker game, Six says. The new owner, Craig Miller, spent $250,000 fixing it up but the bank foreclosed on the property in 1975. The mansion was vacant until 1979 when Sally Lee Roberts bought it at a sheriff’s auction and began further repairs. In the 1980s and 1990s, the home developed a bohemian reputation as some of the rooms were rented out to guests. Six says John Popper of Blues Traveler lived there while the band was just getting started. In 2009, the home was sold to Hope and Kevin Cotter, who further restored the home and now use it to host fundraisers several times a year. There is one last urban legend: that The Castle was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and that it has tunnels linking it to the graveyard across the street. Six said this is entirely possible. The owner of the older home on which Ralston Heights is built, Col. Gordon, did in fact fight for the Union in the Civil War. And Six said that she did dis-
cover bricked-off, rubble filled tunnels in the basement though she never fully explored them to see where they went. Six wonders if they were just service tunnels for servants to carry out their duties out of sight, or if they really were for the underground railroad. Six conducted an archaeological survey of the manor and the gardens, of which only ruins remain. She published her thesis in 2003 and subsequently wrote an article for Archaeology Magazine that kicked off renewed interest in the long forgotten story of Edgerly and Ralstonism. Since earning her doctorate, Six now teaches archaeology at the University of Hawaii. But she still wants to return to the subject of Edgerly someday and write a book about him that expands beyond the small slice of his life she uncovered in Hopewell. It’s a story that has an almost magnetic pull on Six and others around the world who have begun researching Edgerly. “It really is a twisted tale of magnetic mind control, castration, and Twinkies,” She says.

MUOIO continued from Page 1 government has in the everyday lives of citizens. “As a government, we need to be there for people, and we need to provide safety nets. There are always going to be people in need,” she said. “We are only as well off as the least fortunate in our towns, states, or counties.” She attributes her success today to the opportunities that she was given as a child and young adult. Growing up in Grosse Pointe, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, she played volleyball and basketball alongside her two sisters and attended the local public high school. Her mother taught physics at a nearby private school, and her father worked as a lawyer. She expressed gratitude for her parents’ support during her childhood. “We were raised with the idea that we could really do anything that we wanted,” she said. “We were lucky to get a great education, and we were always encouraged not to see any boundaries that were in our way with what we wanted to do in life.” At 18, she moved halfway across the country to Connecticut to study history at Wesleyan University. After graduation, Muoio found her passion in Washington working for Texas Rep. Jack Brooks. “There were a lot of young people out in D.C. You didn’t make much money, but you find roommates, you know,” she said, laughing. “It was a great experience.” Two years into working on Capitol Hill, she decided to pursue law school
at Georgetown at night to learn more community was Muoio’s motivation in about what she worked with all day in running for a seat on the Pennington Borough Council in 1997. “That’s the the Congressman’s office. “After work, I’d just walk across the way I’ve always done it. I’ve always gone Capitol lawn to class. It was an idyllic through government channels to solve experience for a young person like me these problems,” she said. “I’ve always who loved government and loved living liked the idea of solving problems that way.” and working in D.C.,” she said.

She is a strong advocate for women in politics and believes that the state needs more women heading local committees, especially given New Jersey’s high female voter turnout. “Having women in leadership positions sets an example for other women who want to step up and run,” she said. “I think that women have always worked really hard in party structures. Back in the day, we used to have envelope stuffing events in county headquarters and since then, women have always been stepping up to help. “Now they’re putting their names on the ballot, which is really exciting,” she added.

Bulldogs’ St. John not sneaking up on anyone this season By Rich Fisher There were those who felt that Tony St. John sneaked up on teams and just appeared out of nowhere last year, when he went 6-1 with a 1.21 ERA for the Hopewell Valley Central High baseball team. But St. John felt he had been there all along. “I thought since my freshman and sophomore year I was as good as everyone else,” said the senior right-hander. “It didn’t surprise me. Andy (Blake) and I were going back and forth for the number one spot all year. I knew when I pitched a complete game, (four-hit) shutout against Steinert earlier in the year, that’s when everyone realized I could be actually be up here. I always thought I was that good. That’s when I had the evidence, I guess, as opposed to just saying it.” St. John’s only loss was to Wall in the Central Jersey Group III finals, and he followed the high school season by going 7-0 for Hopewell Post 339 in American Legion play. “I might have been better in the legion season,” he said. “I had a lot more strikeouts in the same innings pitched.”
22Hopewell Express | May 2019
This year he was 2-0 in three starts through Hopewell’s 7-2 start, having forged a 1.47 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 19 innings. After he threw a two-hitter against Nottingham, coach Ken Harrison hoped the rest of his pitching staff had paid close attention because “he put on a clinic.” Like St. John, the skipper also knew he was getting a talented player last season. “As a JV player he threw a lot of innings for us,” Harrison said. “We knew he had the potential. It was just a matter of time before he matured a little bit and was ready for the varsity level. Last year we knew we were gonna get a special player. I think he kind of snuck up on everyone else but we knew what we had. This year we asked him to come out and be the ace. Every time he comes out we know we have a chance to win.” Despite his whiff-happy summer, St. John does not consider himself a strike-
out hurler. Last year he got by with a fastball and curveball and this season, he has learned to throw his changeup for a strike and will mix it in when necessary. “I’m a contact pitcher,” he said. “We have a good defense. I’m good at throwing to locations. I can’t overpower anybody. So, when you know that; there’s no point throwing your hardest. You just have to put it in spots.” St. John started in right field for the Hopewell Valley Cal Ripken All-Star team but it didn’t take long for a manager to notice his arm and move him to the mound. St. John helped his 10-year-old team to the Cal Ripken World Series, “where we finished fourth or fifth” and he won one game. Tony felt pitching on such a big stage at a young age helped his growth. “It just makes you feel like you’re bet-

ter than the other team,” he said. “When you have confidence it makes it easier.” His confidence shone through last year when he and Blake helped pitch the Bulldogs to their first Mercer County Tournament title in program history. With Andy now a post-graduate at Hun, St. John is the ace. “It feels good, knowing that everyone depends on me,” he said. “I mean, every pitcher feels that way. But it feels good that coach is lining me up against the best teams we’re gonna play.” Harrison considers St. John and Dylan Joyce One-A and One-B as far as starters, but added that, “We’re gonna lean on him a lot. He’s gonna get a lot of tough assignments. He’s got a really sharp curveball and his change-up is a really good pitch.” Not only that, but he is a Bulldog with a bulldog mentality on the mound. “His demeanor doesn’t change,” Harrison said. “He’s very intense internally, and very focused. You watch the way he walks around, nothing really bothers him. He knows how to pitch. He doesn’t let things bother him and you expect that from a competitor.” St. John recently decided to continue his athletic career and education at Bab-

“I guess the Babson coach took interest in my slim, tall body,” he said. “So he said ‘You throw pretty hard, you’ve got good mechanics. We can put weight on you, that’s no problem. You’ll be throwing real hard once you get here.’ TCNJ (The College of New Jersey) was pursuing me but I don’t know what happened, they stopped pursuing me. But I still found a great school.” St. John will major in Data Analytics but when asked what he will do with that degree, he laughed and replied, “I dunno. I’ll minor in finance too. If I don’t like it, I can always change it.” One thing that won’t change is his love of playing for the hometown team. In an ever-changing world of players forfeiting legion baseball for travel ball, St. John will return to Mike Coryell’s squad this summer. “Everyone says travel ball is the way to go,” St. John said. “I didn’t really want to do that. I had a lot of fun playing with my friends my whole life so I figured I’d just stick with it.” Which sticks St. John and Post 339 both in a happy situation. *** The varsity baseball team has games scheduled for Wednesday, May 1 (at Trenton); Friday, May 3 (Nottingham); Saturday, May 4 (Princeton); Monday, May 6 (Mercer County Tournament); Friday, May 10 (Voorhees); Tuesday, May 14 (at WW-P South); Wednesday, May 15 (Northern Burlington); Friday, May 17 (Princeton Day); and Saturday, May 18 (Montgomery).

The Village Learning School Parents have the right to expect a great deal from the childcare center their children attend and The Village Learning Center (TVLC) exceeds expectations. TVLC offers a safe, nurturing environment that fosters learning through discovery. Parents know TVLC is more than just a daycare. Children receive a solid educational foundation where skills are learned, respect is taught and happiness is shared. TVCL is conveniently located at 15 Yard Road, Pennington. Mary Innocenzi, CEO and Executive Director, states, “Over 35 years ago I had a vision to provide higher quality early child care for young children. I am proud to say that The Village Learning Center was voted best Child Care Center in the Tri County area and received National Accreditation just two years after we opened our doors in 1998. We are also extremely proud of our fantastic staff. Some of them have been with us for five, ten and even twenty years.” “We listen to what parents say about the challenges in finding superior child care,” says Innocenzi. “With summer fast approaching, TVLC is again gearing up to provide its unique summer camp experience. Families spend so much time and effort trying one camp after another, year after year. Art camp, science camp, sports camp, the list goes on. And year after year, parents feel they are forced into making a blind choice about what will capture their young child’s attention. “TVLC recognized the frustration and developed a summer program called Camp Discovery, which offers a wide variety of activities and learning opportunities all in one place.

We’re replacing lead water-service lines.
You’ve asked, "What should I do?" Here are some answers. Trenton Water Works is launching a $15 million capital project to replace lead and galvanized steel water-service lines in our system with our Lead Service Line Replacement Program. If your home was built before 1988, you should check the pipe connected to the water meter in your home to see if it is made of lead or galvanized steel (which also contains lead), materials that were widely used before they were banned. To learn how to identify your water meter and the pipe material connected to it, please go to twwleadprogram.com. If your home was built after 1988, it does not have a lead or galvanized steel water-service line. If you need additional assistance, please call our Lead Service Line Replacement Program hotline at (609) 989-3600.
Questions? Call our Lead Service Line Replacement Program hotline at (609) 989-3600. May 2019 | Hopewell Express27

A little history: Earth Day was founded by U. S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. Nelson was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his work. Today, Earth Day is more important than ever. The earth provides food to give us sustenance but the trees, plants, air and water also bestow energy for the entire ecosystem, which literally and figuratively gives us life. The quality of life in Hopewell Valley is better because the community supports and appreciates our earth. Earth Day celebrations abound in our schools, nonprofit organizations, corporations and in our hearts. Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space led clean-up days on land and participated in Earth Day celebrations at Bloomberg, Church and Dwight, and Bear Tavern Elementary school. The Watershed led stream clean-ups and educational activities. Lawrence Hopewell Trail led Earth Day activities for Bristol-Myers Squibb. D&R Greenway Trust partnered with the Hopewell Valley Historical Society to unveil a sign and call attention to the history of the land at St. Michaels Farm Preserve. Municipal leaders attended many of these events. The schools announced the tremendous number of students taking a pledge to support the environment. Superintendent Tom Smith shared that their Eco-Warriors will be recognized at their May 20 Board of Education meeting. Last year, they removed plastic straws and stirrers in school cafeterias. This year, students have been encouraged to use reusable water bottles and fill them at one of the more than 50 bottle-filling stations in our schools, resulting in decreased bottled water sales in the cafeterias. While Earth Day provides an opportunity raise awareness of the need to appreciate the abundance that the earth
provides, the real work must take place the remaining days of the year for everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle (especially reduce!) *** Last February, FoHVOS announced it has achieved national recognition, joining a network of over 400 accredited land trusts across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to professional excellence and to maintaining the public’s trust in their work. “We are a stronger organization for having gone through the rigorous accreditation program,” said Daniel Rubenstein, FoHVOS Board President. “Our strength means special places— such as the Ted Stiles Preserve at Baldpate Mountain—will be protected forever, making Hopewell Valley an even greater place for us and our children.” The real power behind FoHVOS is our desire to partner with the greater community to achieve lasting results. Our last two major preservations—Mount Rose and Woosamonsa Ridge—were led by NJCF and D&R Greenway, respectively, and both accredited land trusts. Under FoHVOS Community Conservation, we have joined forces with local municipalities, corporations, NGOs, and homeowner associations. Collaboration is our secret to success. Partnering with LTA on accreditation is a crowning achievement. On April 18, FoHVOS held an Earth Day celebration at Gravity Hill Barn in Titusville that recognized all who helped with the accreditation. Honored were Jay Watson, D&R Greenway Land Trust, Renee Jones, NJ DEP – Green Acres, and Anne Heasly, Sustainable Jersey. Many municipal leaders, including District 15 Assembly members Anthony Verrelli and Verlina Reynolds-Jackson came out to offer their congratulations. Lisa Wolff is the executive director of Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space. Email: lwolff@fohvos.org.

After over 40 years in the same house, we are moving. While it’s only from one end of Hopewell Township to the other, the effort is so immense that we could just as well be relocating to Ouagadougou. Moving, of course, brings to mind the words of my the inimitable Henry David Thoreau, nineteenth century New England philosopher and eccentric nut-case. In Walden, his treatise on building and moving into a one-room cabin in the woods, Thoreau wrote, “for what we do move ever but to get rid of our furniture.” And what a lot of furniture we have to either discard or move—dressers, beds, tables, desks, chairs, sofas. Why so much stuff? Speaking of furniture, a clear insight into our lifestyle is that we have a fair number of IKEA pieces. Assembling shelves and dresser with unpronounceable Scandinavian names so many years ago was a satisfying enterprise, all accomplished with a tiny two-headed hex wrench. Taking those same constructions apart is not so easy. I am not looking forward to blindly re-assembling those pieces since the directions were long ago thrown out. Thoreau also wrote, “men have become the tools of their tools!” So true, but does that mean I should toss some of my seven hammers, twelve pliers, thirty screwdrivers, four socket sets, five saws and 623 jars of screws and nails? Most painful to me is Thoreau’s admonition, “I am wont to think that men are not so much the keepers of herds as herds are the keepers of men.” He was speaking of oxen. I don’t have too many oxen, but I do have books, thousands of books. I started acquiring books in earnest while in grad school determined that I’d have so complete a collection that I’d never have to go to a library because every book I’d ever need would be on my shelves. My books occupy a “wall” (if you’ll excuse the expression) 13 feet high by 20 feet wide. Every great work of literature is at my fingertips, from Homer to Shakespeare to Lenny Bruce. While I love my books, we live in an electronic age where I can get most anything online. Furthermore, I am not going to read any of these books again. There are just too many other books that I’ve never read. Besides, I like going to the library. To some extent, we have been fol-
lowing Thoreau, and various charitable organizations have been benefiting from our attempts to reduce the load that we’ll be transporting to the new house. Gone are coffee urns, extra sets of dishes, a waffle iron, vases, cocktail shakers, food processors—all of which were either rarely or never used over the past 40 years. Surprisingly, many charities seem to be overwhelmed and are quite persnickety about what they’ll take. A friend recommended consignment stores as a way not only to ditch unwanted stuff but also to turn it into ready cash. However, every one of these places that I contacted seemed uninterested in household goods unless they happened to be something that belonged on the Antiques Roadshow. I am convinced they hoped I was some innocent fool trying to dispose of a piece of Impressionist Art, Civil War memorabilia or the Maltese Falcon, not assorted plastic containers. Four decades ago when we first moved to Titusville, we rented a truck, recruited a few friends, and moved ourselves. These days we own much too much to do the same thing. And, besides, I don’t have any friends. So now we have to find movers, expensive muscular behemoths, to place furniture and a billion boxes onto a van and take them off again. The saddest part of the move is abandoning my garden, which represents 40 years of minute attention. I know the contour and hue of every azalea and rhododendron, the location of every daffodil and crocus bulb, the exact composition of the soil in my vegetable plot and the location of every noxious weed. Each tree and shrub has been shaped by my expert pruning. Except for a few specimens, I can’t take it with me. I haven’t even touched on the burdensome process of selling our home. I was shocked to learn that we had to “stage” the house, a term that I thought only applied to summer stock theater, but which apparently means rendering one’s home so that it looks like a magazine illustration. Consequently, we spend no time in the house for fear of leaving drops of water on the sinks or a speck of anything on the floor. In our early twenties, my wife and I traveled comfortably around Europe for three months with no more than backpacks. What happened? I should have listened to the best of Thoreau’s lines, “Simplify! Simplify! Simplify!” Robin Schore lives in Titusville … for now.
