Miracle Worker
to take stageBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun
The Pennington-based volun-teer theater company, The Pen-nington Players, is putting on aunique production called TheMiracle Worker, which detailsthe life of Helen Keller and herencounters with her teacherAnne Sullivan, at the MercerCounty Community Colleges(MCCC) Kelsey Theatre from Feb.1 to Feb. 10.
The play, which was written byWilliam Gibson, documents thestory of Keller and Sullivan, whocame to her familys home in Ala-bama in the 1880s and taught herhow to communicate using themanual alphabet, according tovice president of production forThe Pennington Players and di-rector Judi Parrish.
After she [Keller] got sickwhen she was an infant (became
deaf and blind), her family didntknow what to do with her; theycouldnt discipline her, and as shegot older, the family looked forsomeone to come and basicallyhandle her, Parrish said. Anniecame from Boston and it was herfirst time teaching. Through a se-ries of events of trying to workwith her [Keller] and get throughto her in some cases, through
physical battles she taught herthat the manual alphabet she wasspelling meant something, whichwas a big breakthrough.
The Miracle Worker stars 11-year-old Cranbury resident IsabelKinney, who is also, coincidental-ly, a puppy raiser for The SeeingEye. She received her first puppy,a black lab named ALu, in No-vember 2012, which will stay withher for about one year until shesready to begin training at TheSeeing Eye.
We had auditions in October[2012] and 15 or 20 girls came in,and Isabel was the best of thegroup; she really stood out, Par-rish said. And it just so happensshes a puppy raiser.
Kinney, who plays Helen Keller,best known for overcoming heradversity of being blind and deafand becoming one of the 20th cen-turys leading humanitarians, aswell as the co-founder of the
ACLU, described what it was liketo defy everything she knows andhas learned to portray a personwho was deaf and blind.
When I first started playingthe role of Helen Keller, it washard for me to even imagine whatshe actually went through, Kin-ney said. Over time, I havelearned how to tune out my sens-

After serving the Hopewell Val-ley School District for 36 years,teaches Mary Yeomans and JackWolff will be retiring on Jan. 31.Following is a snapshot of eachteacher reflecting on their yearsof teaching.
Mary Yeomans
When Mary Yeomans startedteaching science in the HopewellValley School District in 1976, thehigh school had two break rooms
one for men and one for women and Timberlane Middle School,where Mrs. Yeomans began hercareer, had one telephone for
teachers to use. She would receivea long-distance bill from the officeeach month for calling home.
I would get a bill for 17 centsfor calling my house in BucksCounty, she said. I got a bustour of Hopewell Valley my firstday that included Hillbilly Hall (arestaurant-bar), Gravity Hill, andnot much else. There were veryfew places to stop!
Yes, Yeomans has seen a lot ofchanges in her 36 years inHopewell Valley. And on Jan. 31,shell experience another bigchange shell retire, leaving hercurrent position as district sci-ence supervisor, grades Kthrough 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 involunteer work.
A physics major at UrsinusCollege in Pennsylvania, Yeo-mans took a job teaching 7thgrade science at Timberlane aftergraduation. After six years atTimberlane, she transferred toHopewell Valley Central HighSchool where she has been eversince, except for two years ofleave when her second child was
born.She has taught physics on the
honors, advanced placement andconceptual levels at the highschool. She has a masters degreein Curriculum Instruction andSupervision, and she became sci-ence supervisor seven years ago,overseeing teachers and fosteringtheir professional development.That is the part of the job she willmiss the most, said Yeomans working with and training hercolleagues on the latest and bestways to teach.
I love watching teachersteach; 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 goabove and beyond their work inthe classroom, often without com-pensation. Their enthusiasm isamazing.
She noted that the high schoolhas more students involved in sci-ence classes than ever before, tak-ing electives such as bioethics.
Yeomans said what she will notmiss is the ever-growing amountof paperwork supervisors mustdo as teachers and their lessonplans must be evaluated moreand more frequently under statelaw.
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 paida stipend, though there are stillmany volunteer mentors.) Thatis a club that actually sets kids upfor a career, she said.
And as Yeomans has watchedHopewell change, so too has edu-cation changed. The emphasis ofscience education has shiftedfrom rote memorization to find-ing information among the vastamount available and solvingproblems as a team, she has ob-served. And while she notices
some students putting more aca-demic pressure on themselvesthan they used to, she notes thatschool may not be more demand-ing so much as that students aremore distracted than they used
to be, with many more activitiesand, of course, the internet.
Kids are a little more worldlythan they used to be, she said.
Jack Wolff
When Jack Wolff started teach-ing Social Studies at TimberlaneMiddle School 37 years ago, hewas asked to write the new WorldCultures curriculum. And cur-riculum development has beenone of the Social Studies Supervi-sors passions ever since.
Designing a social studies cur-riculum that helps our studentsbecome productive citizens,where they can apply their learn-ing to todays world, is a worthygoal, said Wolff, 60, of whatHopewell students learn in socialstudies and history.
Wolff, who became Social Stud-ies Supervisor in 1987, will retireon Jan. 31, and later this year willmove with his wife, also a retiredteacher, and his high school-ageddaughter to Southport, N.C. Healso has three grown children.
Wolff grew up in Woodbridgeand graduated from Pennsylva-nias Bloomsburg University witha degree in history/political sci-ence. He has a masters degree inEducation Administration fromThe College of New Jersey. He
currently teaches the class Glob-al Issues and Awareness at thehigh school, in addition to super-vising social studies in Grades Kthrough 12. He has especially en-
joyed creating a curriculum in
which students see the connec-tion between historic events andcurrent ones.
Examples of these connec-tions, which his teaching staffmakes in the classroom, are com-paring the French Revolution tolast years Arab Spring uprisingsin the Middle East, and compar-ing Reconstruction after the U.S.Civil War to reconstruction inpost-war Iraq. That kind of world-ly viewpoint is what he hopes stu-dents take away from their SocialStudies education.
Our kids are competingagainst students not only in the
United States but also around theworld for jobs, Wolff said. Thisdistrict has always had high ex-pectations for our students, andwill continue to have them as aquality education becomes evenmore essential in todays world.
Wolff, like Yeomans, said hewill miss his colleagues when hedeparts. He may work in teachertraining at a college near his newhome. And he, too, remembersthe single-sex break rooms thatexisted when he first started.
Oh yeah, those were infa-mous, he said. I was therewhen they took the wall (betweenthe two rooms) down.
Kind of like the Berlin Wall,perhaps? Yes, exactly, Wolffsaid.
Superintendent Thomas Smithlauded the supervisors manyyears 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 havethem here, Smith said. Theirwork over the years has laid astrong academic foundation forour district to build upon. Theyleave a lasting educational legacyand we are richer for it.
Next school year, the Sciencesupervisor position will be com-bined with the Math supervisorposition into a single job, a STEMSupervisor (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math). SocialStudies will be combined with
Language Arts into a single Hu-manities Supervisor Position. In-terim supervisors to replaceWolff and Yeomans will be hiredfor the remainder of this schoolyear, Smith said.

ValentinesDay
Reservations!
Just in time for ValentinesDay, the Hopewell-Keroka Al-liance (HKA) proudly invites theHopewell Valley community to at-tend its Fifth Anniversary GalaCelebration To Kenya withLove at Hopewell Valley Vine-yards on Saturday, Feb. 9 from 6p.m. to 9 p.m.
Bring your valentine and cele-brate a great cause in the warmthof the vineyards tasting roomswith delicious Italian and Kenyanfoods, local wines and live enter-
tainment.The evening will feature a full
northern Italian dinner (includ-ing four of the vineyards ownwines), a sampling of Kenyanfoods (donut-like maandazi, por-ridge-like ugali, stewed kale andchai tea), silent and live auctions(the latter featuring a surprisetwist), door prizes and favors, andlive entertainment by talentedyoung performers from Penning-tons own Hopewell Valley Cen-tral High School (HVCHS). Net
proceeds from the gala eveningwill benefit ongoing HKA infra-structure-improvement projectsfor residents of the Keroka areaof western Kenya in easternAfrica.
Founded in 2008 and jointlybased in both Pennington andKeroka, HKA New Jersey hasraised more than $75,000 in itsfirst 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 betweenthe Hopewell Valley and Kerokancommunities and to improve thehealth, education and infrastruc-ture for the Kerokan people overtime.
In 2007, two local teachers David Angwenyi (whose homevillage of Nyanchonori lies with-in the greater Keroka area) andDr. Lillian Rankel led the firstHVCHS Model WHO (WorldHealth Organization) student trip
to Kenya. The trip was life-chang-ing for the trip participants;and the need for action, madeclear.
Following that trip, HKA wasformed 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 ofKeroka. Since then, HVCHS stu-dents and staff members andHopewell Valley community resi-dents have visited Kenya multipletimes (with another student tripplanned this coming summer).
To date, HKA members havefunded a wide range of improve-ment projects in the rolling, tea-growing Keroka area, including
upgrading three miles of dirttracks to 18-foot-wide all-weatherstone roads, funding the materi-als and labor to build a tea-buyingcenter to save villagers the timeand effort of walking more thantwo miles round-trip with 40pounds worth of harvested teaatop their heads, completing theconstruction of one new health-care center and providing med-ical equipment for a second cen-ter, installing five 2,300-literrooftop rainwater-collection
tanks on school and communitybuildings, providing a wide vari-ety of educational and sports sup-plies to local schools, and givingthe community 5,000 mosquitobed nets, greatly reducing the in-cidence of malaria in the area.
The Feb. 9 gala dinner repre-sents both a celebration and afund-raiser. Gala tickets currentlyare available for $85 each (or $100each at the Patron level; or $150each 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.
For more information on thegala, please contact HKA treasur-er Andy Jackson at (609) 737-8345or [email protected]. To register for theevent, please mail a check madeout to HKA to: HKA, P. O. Box67, Pennington, NJ 08534.

The 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 thosechanges. 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 sucha 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 onpostage 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 overThe Postal Service has a new Congress and little time before money runs out
Postal problems
The U.S. Postal Service saw legislationto fix at least some of its problems diewhen the new Congress took office.Now it has to start all over again. GivenCongress penchant for dragging itsfeet on just about everything, no onshould anticipate a resolution to this
issue anytime soon.

es in order to feel like I cant see,hear or speak. When I am playingHelen, I have to go inside of my-self to try and understand whatshe felt like. It has been challeng-ing for me to go against my in-stinct not to run into things andto not use my peripheral vision soI dont see objects that might be inmy way.
Kinney also explained how themost exciting part of playing the
lead role is getting the chance towork with Parrish and other castmembers.
Our director, Judi Parrish,has taught me so much, and Ihave had a lot of fun getting toknow Jennifer Nasta Zefutie, whoplays my teacher, Annie, shesaid. Jennifer has made it easyfor me to understand what Annieand Helen must have really beenlike together. It is also really excit-ing to get the chance to performin front of so many people.
Parrish, who was responsiblefor guiding Kinney in embracing
Kellers character, detailed thebiggest challenge of directing theplay.
Ive never done a play wheresomeone is playing deaf and
blind, so that was a challenge,she said. It was also challengefor Isabel as well.
She also explained the mainchallenges presented to Kinney,which were equally as difficult.
The hardest part is not lettingherself be distracted by otherthings going on, Parrish said.She has to know everybodys dia-logue even though she never saysanything because some dialoguetriggers movements and what she
has to do. She also has to be ableto use the manual alphabet tospell words, and she learned thatreally quickly. She worked ex-tremely hard on all aspects of hercharacter.
Staying true to the theme ofthe play, Parrish explained howone of the performances on Feb.9 will be ASL-interpreted, whichis the first play produced by ThePennington 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 tohave the interpreters come outcause it lends itself to it.
It may draw in people thatsometimes wont otherwise come
because, if theyre deaf, its hardto come if its not interpreted,and I have heard from some peo-ple that there is an interest incoming and seeing how the playis interpreted, she added.
The Miracle Worker will runfor two weekends at MCCCsKelsey Theatre. Performances areFridays and Saturdays, Feb. 1,Feb. 2, Feb. 8 and Feb. 9 at 8 p.m.;and Sundays Feb. 3 and Feb. 10 at2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located
