lainsboro Library presents an exhibit of Pacrylic and mixed media paintings, hand- made jewelry, hand painted silk scarves, and crafts created by Vasundhara Bharatiya, a Plainsboro resident. The exhibit, rich with traditional Indian imagery, coincides with the annual Diwali workshops. An art recep- tion will be held on Thursday, October 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. Bharatiya’s paintings are heavily textured — giving them a slightly 3 D effect — and incorporate a variety of materials such as sand, beads, and threads. The artist is self- taught, and she credits her late mother with her art instruction and guidance. Bharatiya has lived in Plainsboro for the past five years with her husband and two children, who are students in the WW-P Olson experiments with what he calls the school system.

Despite being in great health, Stephen had a rare cardiac event while at the Center...

I can’t pick a word to describe how fortunate I am. Being a member of Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center has literally saved my life. I should have died on that fated day in April, but Center staff reacted quickly and knowledgeably. I am forever grateful to them. Before, during, and after my heart surgery, being a member at the Center helped. I was in the best shape of my life when this happened.”

Stephen has now returned to 5 hours of cardio and 3 hours of weight training per week, and hopes to add yoga to the mix!
