Group to perform I Love You Because
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
The modern-day musical love
story, I Love You Because,
which embraces the concept of
friends with benefits, is at the
Off-Broadstreet Dessert Theatre
in Hopewell until March 23.
The story, which is loosely
based on Jane Austen's Pride
and Prejudice, is about ]uptight
greeting card writer Austin, who
just had his heart broken. His
brother Jeff, who is played by
Hopewell resident John Berg-
eron, tries to help him take his
mind off his problems by arrang-
ing a double date at a local bar.
The plot is put in motion by
two plans," Bergeron said. "On
the boys side, my brother
[Austin] has just walked in on his
girlfriend cheating on him, and to
help him move on under the guise
of his girlfriend wanting him
back, I say, 'just go find somebody
else to make her jealous.' Then,
on the girls side, the female
Marcy has just been dumped by
her boyfriend and her girlfriend
[Nikki] gives her similar advice to
go have a rebound guy and get
over her feelings.
Although Austin and Marcy
are supposed to hit it off, Berg-
eron explained how they don't.
"It's set up like a romantic com-
edy where you expect that Austin

The following information was
provided by the Hopewell Town-
ship Police Department.
On Feb. 17 at 10:21 p.m., Officer
Sara Erwin stopped a red Jeep on
Route 29 near Grant Street for
failing to maintain its lane.
Erwin made contact with the
driver, a 34-year-old male, who
had a strong odor of alcohol on
his breath. After performing field
sobriety tests, he was placed
under arrest and transported to
police headquarters for process-
ing. He was charged with DWI,
DWI in a school zone, reckless
driving and failure to maintain
lane. This case will be heard in
municipal court. The passenger
of the vehicle, a 37-year-old fe-
male who was also the registered
owner of the vehicle, was issued a
summons for allowing an intoxi-
cated driver to drive her vehicle.
Her case will also be heard in mu-
nicipal court.
On Feb. 19 at 11:10 p.m., Officer
Alexis Mirra responded to the
parking lot of the Stop and Shop
at 800 Denow Road for a vehicle
driving erratically in the parking
lot. Mirra learned that a 2001
black Lexus operated by a 30-year-
old female attempted several
times to strike an individual with
her vehicle. She left the scene
prior to police arrival. Mirra
charged the woman with aggra-
vated assault by attempting to
cause serious bodily injury to the
victim. The woman turned her-
self in on Feb. 21, and her case
was forwarded to the Mercer
County Prosecutors Office for re-
view.
On Feb. 21 at 9:40 p.m., Officer
James Rosso was dispatched to
Pennington Road for a report of a
black Hyundai stopped in the
roadway facing the wrong direc-
tion. Rosso located the vehicle
and made contact with the driver,
a 32-year-old female. She was dis-
oriented and had a strong odor of
alcohol on her breath. After per-
forming field sobriety tests, she
was placed under arrest and
transported to police headquar-
ters for processing. She was
charged with DWI, refusal to sub-
mit to breath testing, failure to
maintain lane, reckless driving,
failure to produce documents,
DWI in a school zone, reckless
driving, and failure to maintain
lane. She was released to a friend.

The Hopewell Sun
To mitigate the amount of fu-
ture traffic caused by the Mar-
shalls Corner/Pennytown rede-
velopment project, Richard Orth,
senior consultant at the traffic en-
gineering firm Orth-Rodgers and
Associates, Inc., proposed the in-
stallation of two traffic lights
along Route 31 in Pennington
where the new village is to be
built.
The township committee hired
Orth to conduct a variety of traf-
fic impact studies to determine
which traffic calming measure
would best suit the area.
After further evaluation of the
firms original idea to control
traffic to place a roundabout in
the heart of the Marshalls Cor-
ner/Pennytown site and lower
the speed limit to 25 mph Orth
and his associates decided it was
more practical to alleviate traffic
by placing two traffic lights at the
intersections of County Route 612
(Marshalls Corner-Woodsville
Road) and County Route 654 (Pen-
nington-Hopewell Road) on Route
31.
A key concern of residents of
the area is the speed of traffic on
Route 654, Orth said.
Orth estimated that the rede-
velopment project which is cur-
rently proposed to incorporate a
community center, mixed hous-
ing (70 low- and moderate-income
units, as well as market-priced
dwellings) and commercial shops
would generate about 5,500 daily
trips, the majority of which
would come from the west side of
Route 654.
Since thats not a high number
in regard to daily traffic volume,
Orth described how the proposed
traffic lights would successfully
slow and control traffic that pass-
es through the new redevelop-
ment area.
To make residents aware of the
new lights, he also recommended
putting in graded pavement,
striping and flashing lights,
which would also slow traffic in
the area.
Along with the traffic lights,
Orth also proposed extending
pedestrian access to the 12 exist-
ing Marshalls Corner residents,
incorporating pedestrian access
within the site, providing for fu-
ture access to the Else tract on
Route 654, and extending the bus
routes from Route 31 to pass
through the new redevelopment

On Saturday, March 9, a horse
doctor, dentist and shoer will
make their rounds at Howell Liv-
ing History Farm. Besides seeing
some of the tools, techniques and
products that relate to horse care
as it was practiced during the
farms circa 1900 time period, vis-
itors will be able to meet a veteri-
narian, horse dentist and farrier
and even try their own hand at a
bit of horse doctoring.
Kids will be able to listen to a
horses heart through an antique
stethoscope, help determine the
age of a horse by counting its
teeth and assist farmers as they
check horses weights on a live-
stock scale, according to Kathy
Brilla, farm program coordinator.
During the morning hours, the
horse dentist will be checking the
horses teeth. From noon until 1
p.m., visitors can watch the horse
doctor give spring shots and
worming medicine to the farms
draft horses. A childrens craft
program, Horse Hoof Pen Hold-
er, will be offered from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m. for $4 each. Participation is
on a walk-in basis. Groups of
eight or more must pre-register
by emailing kbrilla@mercercoun-
ty.org. Children will be riding
high at Howell Living History
Farm on Saturday, March 16
when the farm's big workhorses
will be drafted for "pony ride"
duty. Riders will not sit on saddles
or ride bareback, but will sit atop
fully harnessed, three-quarter ton
workhorses. The horses won't
mind, according to the farmers,
since giving rides is easier than
pulling the plows and wagons
used to run the 130-acre "living-
history" farm.
The program is intended to
give children a taste of early 20th
century farm life. So, in order to
get a ride, children must first do
their farm chores. The rides will
be offered on a first-come, first-
served basis, from 11 a.m. until 3
p.m. Riders must be between the
ages of 5 and 12, no exception.
A children's craft program,
"Work Horse Pull Toy, is from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m. Projects take 20
minutes to complete and cost $4
each. Groups of eight or more
must pre-register for the craft.
Howell Living History Farm is
located at 70 Woodens Lane in
Lambertville. The farm is open
Tuesday through Saturday from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more infor-
mation, call (609) 737-3299 or

One in four girls and one in six boys will
be sexually abused before the age of 18.
The statistics shocked Hopewell resident
and Hopewell Valley CHS junior Kyle Ben-
nison, prompting him to launch a series of
education programs to make local commu-
nity members and leaders aware of child
sexual abuse prevention by learning how
to prevent, recognize and react. The ses-
sions will be conducted as part of Benni-
sons Eagle Scout project in coordination
with the Hopewell Valley YMCA. The edu-
cation program is based on the Stewards of
Children curriculum from the national or-
ganization, Darkness to Light (d2l.org), and
will be adopted as a community education
initiative by the Hopewell Valley YMCA,
ensuring the Eagle Scout project has a last-
ing impact on the community.
Stewards of Children sessions will be
held on March 9 at 2 p.m. at the Hopewell
Township Library, March 10 at 2 p.m. at the
Timberlane Middle School 8th Grade
House Center, March 18 at 6 p.m. at the Pen-
nington Presbyterian Church (sponsored
by the Recreation Foundation of Hopewell
Valley), and April 23 at 3 p.m. at the Tim-
berlane Middle School 8th Grade House
Center. Each session is free and open to the
public.

S
chool administrators through-
out the state were holding their
collective breath leading up to
Gov. Christies 2013 budget address last
week.
Where would state aid stand? was
the question on everyones mind. If
state aid went down considerably, how
hard would it hit the school districts
bottom line?
Come last week, though, these same
administrators were able to breathe a
sigh of relief when Christie an-
nounced that his budget proposal
would actually increase state aid
schools and, more importantly, would-
nt reduce aid to any school district.
Overall, Christies budget provides
for an $87 million bump in state aid to
public schools, up to almost $9 billion
total, which is a record high for the sec-
ond straight year.
But those numbers often are not im-
portant to school districts like ours,
which doesnt receive the bulk of state
aid to public schools anyway. What is
important to our district is that we
wont be seeing a decrease in aid from
last year.
The exact amount of state aid that
will be given to each district hasnt
been released yet, but once it is, its
likely to show that our districts aid
will be flat, year over year. While we
certainly could have used more help
from the Garden State, its comforting
to know we wont have to kick in more
money out of our already thin pockets.
So two thumbs up to Christie for
paying attention to one of the most im-
portant aspects of life here in New Jer-
sey our public schools.
in our opinion
Phew!
No school district will see a decrease in state aid
Its budget time
The school district will be releasing its
2013-2014 budget numbers, and the
impact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sun
will have all the details on the budget
when they are released. If you want to
share your thoughts on the topic, send
us a letter to the editor. Wed love to
hear from you.

Route 29 near Grant Street. The
driver, later identified as a 34-
year-old male, refused to stop and
travelled nearly 13 miles with Of-

point, Hoffman with assistance
from officer Lincoln Karnoff and
officers from Lambertville and
West Amwell, was able to remove
the man from his vehicle. He was
transported to police headquar-
ters for processing, where he was

area.
Also at the joint planning
board and township committee
meeting, Marshalls Corner/Pen-
nytown Task Force co-chairs
Betsy Ackerman and Ed Truscelli
presented a list of recommenda-
tions for the new redevelopment
area for Clarke Caton and Hintz
to incorporate into its final illus-
trative plan.
The recommendations includ-
ed making the redevelopment
area walkable, retaining the exist-
ing water features on the site, pro-
viding water and sewer access to
the 12 current Marshalls Corner
residents, building the communi-
ty center close to the interface of
Route 31, connecting the Penny-
town site to nearby trails and
fields, and encouraging energy
innovation and green-building
technologies.
There will be two more special
public meetings held by the plan-
ning board to further discuss the
matter on March 14 and March 21.
MARCH 6-12, 2013 THE HOPEWELL SUN 9
and Marcy are going to get togeth-
er, but there are various wrinkles
of their personalities clashing,
he said. And, Nikki and I provide
some comic relief as it moves for-
ward; we're a much more carefree
couple.
Another couple is also featured
throughout the show, whose roles
change from scene to scene.
Lifelong Pennington resident
Sandy Marie Ziolkowski, who
moved to Plainsboro two months
ago, plays the woman in the third
couple, and explained how they
keep the action going with their
multi-faceted parts.
In one scene, I'm the cocktail
waitress and he's the bartender.
In another, I'm the Chinese food
manager and he's the waiter. And
in another, I'm the neighbor and
he's the landlord, she said. It
kind of goes like that. Its like we
fill in as other couples. I dont
have a huge part in the show, but
all of these little characters that I
get to play bring this show alive.
A lot of times, I come in and Ill
only say three or four lines, but it
drives the plot and moves every-
thing along and thats a really
cool thing for me. I get to take
three-line characters and create
something really cool with
them.
Ziolkowski, who went to high
school with Bergeron, explained
how well the chemistry has devel-
oped between such a small cast,
which consists of only six people.
All of us didn't know each
other only I knew John but the
fact that we had such a short re-
hearsal period and have created
such a bond between the six of us
is like nothing I've ever experi-
enced before, she said. I've
never done a musical this small,
and to have that chemistry be-
tween the cast is really something
special. We help each other, work
off of each other, and the chem-
istry between the characters on
stage is incredible to watch and
has developed into something
that is going to be sensational.
Bergeron echoed Ziolkowski's
comments about the size of the
cast and detailed how it's essen-
tial that each cast member em-
brace and develop their charac-
ters.
I have worked with as few as
10 or 12 people and that's small,
he said. Doing a musical with a
full plot and sketched out charac-
ters with only six people really
puts a lot of pressure and impe-
tus to make sure that your char-
acter is really well sketched, and
that your relationships, especial-
ly in a play like this where its all
about relationships, that those
are understood and well por-
trayed.
Ziolkowski detailed how the
music is catchy, the plot takes you
from laughing hysterically to
tears, and the cast is the glue that
keeps the entire production to-
gether.
Each person is very dynamic
and really well-developed, she
said. I think it's going to be some-
thing people aren't going to want
to miss.
Because of the adult nature of
the topics and language in the
show, the production is geared to-
ward more mature audiences (14
years old and older), according to
choreographer and co-owner of
OBT Julie Thick.
It's a little bit more of a PG
show, she said. It's a lot fun, but
it reminds me of the TV show
Friends in a lot of ways.
I Love You Because is cur-
rently running on weekends (Fri-
