Teachers to retire
After 36 years, two to retire
from district. PAGE 2
Miracle Worker
to take stage
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
The Pennington-based volun-
teer theater company, The Pen-
nington Players, is putting on a
unique production called The
Miracle Worker, which details
the life of Helen Keller and her
encounters with her teacher
Anne Sullivan, at the Mercer
County Community Colleges
(MCCC) Kelsey Theatre from Feb.
1 to Feb. 10.
The play, which was written by
William Gibson, documents the
story of Keller and Sullivan, who
came to her familys home in Ala-
bama in the 1880s and taught her
how to communicate using the
manual alphabet, according to
vice president of production for
The Pennington Players and di-
rector Judi Parrish.
After she [Keller] got sick
when she was an infant (became
deaf and blind), her family didnt
know what to do with her; they
couldnt discipline her, and as she
got older, the family looked for
someone to come and basically
handle her, Parrish said. Annie
came from Boston and it was her
first time teaching. Through a se-
ries of events of trying to work
with her [Keller] and get through
to her in some cases, through
physical battles she taught her
that the manual alphabet she was
spelling meant something, which
was a big breakthrough.
The Miracle Worker stars 11-
year-old Cranbury resident Isabel
Kinney, who is also, coincidental-
ly, a puppy raiser for The Seeing
Eye. She received her first puppy,
a black lab named ALu, in No-
vember 2012, which will stay with
her for about one year until shes
ready to begin training at The
Seeing Eye.
We had auditions in October
[2012] and 15 or 20 girls came in,
and Isabel was the best of the
group; she really stood out, Par-
rish said. And it just so happens
shes a puppy raiser.
Kinney, who plays Helen Keller,
best known for overcoming her
adversity of being blind and deaf
and becoming one of the 20th cen-
turys leading humanitarians, as
well as the co-founder of the
ACLU, described what it was like
to defy everything she knows and
has learned to portray a person
who was deaf and blind.
When I first started playing
the role of Helen Keller, it was
hard for me to even imagine what
she actually went through, Kin-
ney said. Over time, I have
learned how to tune out my sens-
Special to The Sun
The Pennington-based volunteer theater company, The Pennington Players, is putting on a unique pro-
duction called The Miracle Worker, which details the life of Helen Keller, portrayed by Cranbury resident

After serving the Hopewell Val-
ley School District for 36 years,
teaches Mary Yeomans and Jack
Wolff will be retiring on Jan. 31.
Following is a snapshot of each
teacher reflecting on their years
of teaching.
Mary Yeomans
When Mary Yeomans started
teaching science in the Hopewell
Valley School District in 1976, the
high school had two break rooms
one for men and one for women
and Timberlane Middle School,
where Mrs. Yeomans began her
career, had one telephone for
teachers to use. She would receive
a long-distance bill from the office
each month for calling home.
I would get a bill for 17 cents
for calling my house in Bucks
County, she said. I got a bus
tour of Hopewell Valley my first
day that included Hillbilly Hall (a
restaurant-bar), Gravity Hill, and
not much else. There were very
few places to stop!
Yes, Yeomans has seen a lot of
changes in her 36 years in
Hopewell Valley. And on Jan. 31,
shell experience another big
change shell retire, leaving her
current position as district sci-
ence supervisor, grades K
through 12, which she has held
for the last seven years.
It was time, said Yeomans,
58, of her decision to leave.
She and her husband, who is a
retired building supply manager,
plan to travel and get involved in
volunteer work.
A physics major at Ursinus
College in Pennsylvania, Yeo-
mans took a job teaching 7th
grade science at Timberlane after
graduation. After six years at
Timberlane, she transferred to
Hopewell Valley Central High
School where she has been ever
since, except for two years of
leave when her second child was
born.
She has taught physics on the
honors, advanced placement and
conceptual levels at the high
school. She has a masters degree
in Curriculum Instruction and
Supervision, and she became sci-
ence supervisor seven years ago,
overseeing teachers and fostering
their professional development.
That is the part of the job she will
miss the most, said Yeomans
working with and training her
colleagues on the latest and best
ways to teach.
I love watching teachers
teach; it is just magical, she said.
The staff here is so profes-
sional and positive and caring,
and the parents are supportive,
she added. Our teachers go
above and beyond their work in
the classroom, often without com-
pensation. Their enthusiasm is
amazing.
She noted that the high school
has more students involved in sci-
ence classes than ever before, tak-
ing electives such as bioethics.
Yeomans said what she will not
miss is the ever-growing amount
of paperwork supervisors must
do as teachers and their lesson
plans must be evaluated more
and more frequently under state
law.
Among her proudest accom-
plishments, she points to the for-
mation of the high school Robot-
ics Club, which she coached with-
out pay for the first six years of
its existence. (A coach is now paid
a stipend, though there are still
many volunteer mentors.) That
is a club that actually sets kids up
for a career, she said.
And as Yeomans has watched
Hopewell change, so too has edu-
cation changed. The emphasis of
science education has shifted
from rote memorization to find-
ing information among the vast
amount available and solving
problems as a team, she has ob-
served. And while she notices
some students putting more aca-
demic pressure on themselves
than they used to, she notes that
school may not be more demand-
ing so much as that students are
more distracted than they used
to be, with many more activities
and, of course, the internet.
Kids are a little more worldly
than they used to be, she said.
Jack Wolff
When Jack Wolff started teach-
ing Social Studies at Timberlane
Middle School 37 years ago, he
was asked to write the new World
Cultures curriculum. And cur-
riculum development has been
one of the Social Studies Supervi-
sors passions ever since.
Designing a social studies cur-
riculum that helps our students
become productive citizens,
where they can apply their learn-
ing to todays world, is a worthy
goal, said Wolff, 60, of what
Hopewell students learn in social
studies and history.
Wolff, who became Social Stud-
ies Supervisor in 1987, will retire
on Jan. 31, and later this year will
move with his wife, also a retired
teacher, and his high school-aged
daughter to Southport, N.C. He
also has three grown children.
Wolff grew up in Woodbridge
and graduated from Pennsylva-
nias Bloomsburg University with
a degree in history/political sci-
ence. He has a masters degree in
Education Administration from
The College of New Jersey. He
currently teaches the class Glob-
al Issues and Awareness at the
high school, in addition to super-
vising social studies in Grades K
through 12. He has especially en-
joyed creating a curriculum in
which students see the connec-
tion between historic events and
current ones.
Examples of these connec-
tions, which his teaching staff
makes in the classroom, are com-
paring the French Revolution to
last years Arab Spring uprisings
in the Middle East, and compar-
ing Reconstruction after the U.S.
Civil War to reconstruction in
post-war Iraq. That kind of world-
ly viewpoint is what he hopes stu-
dents take away from their Social
Studies education.
Our kids are competing
against students not only in the
United States but also around the
world for jobs, Wolff said. This
district has always had high ex-
pectations for our students, and
will continue to have them as a
quality education becomes even
more essential in todays world.
Wolff, like Yeomans, said he
will miss his colleagues when he
departs. He may work in teacher
training at a college near his new
home. And he, too, remembers
the single-sex break rooms that
existed when he first started.
Oh yeah, those were infa-
mous, he said. I was there
when they took the wall (between
the two rooms) down.
Kind of like the Berlin Wall,
perhaps? Yes, exactly, Wolff
said.
Superintendent Thomas Smith
lauded the supervisors many
years of service.
As teachers and as supervi-
sors, Jack and Mary have dedicat-
ed their lives to this district and
we have been fortunate to have
them here, Smith said. Their
work over the years has laid a
strong academic foundation for
our district to build upon. They
leave a lasting educational legacy
and we are richer for it.
Next school year, the Science
supervisor position will be com-
bined with the Math supervisor
position into a single job, a STEM
Supervisor (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math). Social
Studies will be combined with
Language Arts into a single Hu-
manities Supervisor Position. In-
terim supervisors to replace
Wolff and Yeomans will be hired
for the remainder of this school
year, Smith said.

In the beginning of this month,
SERV Behavioral Health System,
Inc., a statewide nonprofit behav-
ioral healthcare organization
serving adults and children work-
ing to recover from a serious
mental illness or cope with a de-
velopmental disability, an-
nounced the election of officers to
the boards of three of its compa-
nies.
Titusville resident and regis-
tered nurse Grace Rarich was
elected as chair of the SERV
Achievement Centers, Inc. board,
which provides teaching, training
and support for individuals with
developmental disabilities and
youth with behavioral and emo-
tional challenges.
Rarich, who has been a mem-
ber of the board for the last seven
years, will now be chairing the
board for a two-year term.
Its a great organization, and
Im so happy to be part of it be-
cause it serves so many people
with mental disabilities, she
said.
According to its website, SERV
Achievement Centers services
are individualized and based on
an approach that utilizes the prin-
ciples of applied behavior analy-
sis in its treatment planning,
teaching and provision of servic-
es; and all services promote indi-
vidual responsibility, increase
self-reliance and teach individu-
als and their families the skills
necessary for living and working
successfully in the community.
Some of the services offered in-
clude transition group homes, su-
pervised apartments, respite
emergency services, treatment
family care, home-based services,
mobile crisis response, emer-
gency non-ambulatory services,
and intensive in-home communi-
ty services.
Rarichs first meeting as chair-
woman of the board was on Jan.
22.
It was a pleasure, she said.
The meeting ran smoothly with
the wonderful group of men and
women who are full of wisdom
and support.

Make Your
Valentines Day
Reservations!
Just in time for Valentines
Day, the Hopewell-Keroka Al-
liance (HKA) proudly invites the
Hopewell Valley community to at-
tend its Fifth Anniversary Gala
Celebration To Kenya with
Love at Hopewell Valley Vine-
yards on Saturday, Feb. 9 from 6
p.m. to 9 p.m.
Bring your valentine and cele-
brate a great cause in the warmth
of the vineyards tasting rooms
with delicious Italian and Kenyan
foods, local wines and live enter-
tainment.
The evening will feature a full
northern Italian dinner (includ-
ing four of the vineyards own
wines), a sampling of Kenyan
foods (donut-like maandazi, por-
ridge-like ugali, stewed kale and
chai tea), silent and live auctions
(the latter featuring a surprise
twist), door prizes and favors, and
live entertainment by talented
young performers from Penning-
tons own Hopewell Valley Cen-
tral High School (HVCHS). Net
proceeds from the gala evening
will benefit ongoing HKA infra-
structure-improvement projects
for residents of the Keroka area
of western Kenya in eastern
Africa.
Founded in 2008 and jointly
based in both Pennington and
Keroka, HKA New Jersey has
raised more than $75,000 in its
first five years. It is a tax-exempt,
non-profit, all-volunteer, charita-
ble organization, whose goals are
to build an ongoing humanitari-
an and cultural bridge between
the Hopewell Valley and Kerokan
communities and to improve the
health, education and infrastruc-
ture for the Kerokan people over
time.
In 2007, two local teachers
David Angwenyi (whose home
village of Nyanchonori lies with-
in the greater Keroka area) and
Dr. Lillian Rankel led the first
HVCHS Model WHO (World
Health Organization) student trip
to Kenya. The trip was life-chang-
ing for the trip participants;
and the need for action, made
clear.
Following that trip, HKA was
formed on Feb. 13, 2008, by par-
ents and trip participants who ei-
ther had heard about or seen first-
hand the poverty and depriva-
tions faced daily by the people of
Keroka. Since then, HVCHS stu-
dents and staff members and
Hopewell Valley community resi-
dents have visited Kenya multiple
times (with another student trip
planned this coming summer).
To date, HKA members have
funded a wide range of improve-
ment projects in the rolling, tea-
growing Keroka area, including
upgrading three miles of dirt
tracks to 18-foot-wide all-weather
stone roads, funding the materi-
als and labor to build a tea-buying
center to save villagers the time
and effort of walking more than
two miles round-trip with 40
pounds worth of harvested tea
atop their heads, completing the
construction of one new health-
care center and providing med-
ical equipment for a second cen-
ter, installing five 2,300-liter
rooftop rainwater-collection
tanks on school and community
buildings, providing a wide vari-
ety of educational and sports sup-
plies to local schools, and giving
the community 5,000 mosquito
bed nets, greatly reducing the in-
cidence of malaria in the area.
The Feb. 9 gala dinner repre-
sents both a celebration and a
fund-raiser. Gala tickets currently
are available for $85 each (or $100
each at the Patron level; or $150
each at the Angel level). Seating is
limited, and pre-registration is re-
quired.
Hopewell Valley Vineyards is
located at 46 Yard Road in Pen-
nington.

gala, please contact HKA treasur-
er Andy Jackson at (609) 737-8345

T
he problems facing the U.S.
Postal Service have been well
documented. Primarily, the
service will run out of money later
this year unless reforms are put in
place.
Unfortunately for the Postal Service,
its up to Congress to make those
changes. Good luck with that. If histo-
ry is any indication, at best it can hope
for a quick fix about 30 seconds before
the clock expires.
The Postal Service is losing millions
of dollars each day. A number of fixes
had been presented, including closing
some facilities, ending Saturday deliv-
ery and getting back some of the
money that the Service has con-
tributed to future retirees benefits.
Problem is, legislation addressing
these and other issues died when the
new Congress was sworn in earlier
this month. Now, everything has to
start again from scratch.
Pretty much all of the ideas put
forth, and some that havent gained
that much notoriety, hold merit. Los-
ing Saturday service wouldnt be such
a terrible thing. Its probable that some
consolidation among facilities is possi-
ble. And the Service makes a good
point when it asks for a return of the
benefits money, something that is
unique to the Service.
Its also possible to continue to mod-
ernize, finding ways to place more
services online, for example. Even
more creative: sell advertising on
postage stamps.
Whatever the bundle of solutions
eventually looks like, its fairly certain
that, despite talk to the contrary, Con-
gress will be in no hurry to do much of
anything. We just got past another fis-
cal cliff and debt-limit deadlines are
approaching quickly.
Unfortunately for the Postal Service,
and the millions of Americans who de-
pend on it, a decision probably wont
come anytime soon.
in our opinion
Starting over
The Postal Service has a new Congress and little time before money runs out
Postal problems
The U.S. Postal Service saw legislation
to fix at least some of its problems die
when the new Congress took office.
Now it has to start all over again. Given
Congress penchant for dragging its
feet on just about everything, no on
should anticipate a resolution to this
issue anytime soon.
Chiropractic office to raise
funds for Sandy Hook
Pennington Family Chiropractic, P.C.

nance of lamps, failure to signal

es in order to feel like I cant see,
hear or speak. When I am playing
Helen, I have to go inside of my-
self to try and understand what
she felt like. It has been challeng-
ing for me to go against my in-
stinct not to run into things and
to not use my peripheral vision so
I dont see objects that might be in
my way.
Kinney also explained how the
most exciting part of playing the
lead role is getting the chance to
work with Parrish and other cast
members.
Our director, Judi Parrish,
has taught me so much, and I
have had a lot of fun getting to
know Jennifer Nasta Zefutie, who
plays my teacher, Annie, she
said. Jennifer has made it easy
for me to understand what Annie
and Helen must have really been
like together. It is also really excit-
ing to get the chance to perform
in front of so many people.
Parrish, who was responsible
for guiding Kinney in embracing
Kellers character, detailed the
biggest challenge of directing the
play.
Ive never done a play where
someone is playing deaf and
blind, so that was a challenge,
she said. It was also challenge
for Isabel as well.
She also explained the main
challenges presented to Kinney,
which were equally as difficult.
The hardest part is not letting
herself be distracted by other
things going on, Parrish said.
She has to know everybodys dia-
logue even though she never says
anything because some dialogue
triggers movements and what she
has to do. She also has to be able
to use the manual alphabet to
spell words, and she learned that
really quickly. She worked ex-
tremely hard on all aspects of her
character.
Staying true to the theme of
the play, Parrish explained how
one of the performances on Feb.
9 will be ASL-interpreted, which
is the first play produced by The
Pennington Players that incorpo-
rates sign-interpretation.
In other areas of the state,
they will sometimes have a sign-
interpretation production, she
said. I felt this was a good play to
have the interpreters come out
cause it lends itself to it.
It may draw in people that
sometimes wont otherwise come
because, if theyre deaf, its hard
to come if its not interpreted,
and I have heard from some peo-
ple that there is an interest in
coming and seeing how the play
is interpreted, she added.
The Miracle Worker will run
for two weekends at MCCCs
Kelsey Theatre. Performances are
Fridays and Saturdays, Feb. 1,
Feb. 2, Feb. 8 and Feb. 9 at 8 p.m.;
and Sundays Feb. 3 and Feb. 10 at
