Sewerage
capacity
vote
May 8
By JIM WRIGHT
The Hopewell Sun
The Hopewell Township
Committee is planning a May 8
referendum for funding $4.1
million of additional sewerage
capacity with the Ewing
Lawrence Sewerage Authority.
The Committee on Feb. 14
voted 3-2 to plan for the May
date in order not to interfere
with school board elections on
April 17.
Mayor Michael Markulec,
Committeewoman Vanessa
Sandom and Committeeman
Allen Cannon voted in favor of
the May 8 date, while Commit-
teeman James Burd and Com-
mitteewoman Kimberly John-
son cast the dissenting votes.
I thought it made sense be-
cause the school board election
is nonpartisan, Johnson said.
The voters asked for this
referendum and they need to
have it on the terms that they
want it, Cannon said. We
want it as soon as possible, but
we dont want it to interfere
with anything else.
Resident Harvey Lester had
urged the committee to sched-
ule the election for May 8. He
also expressed concern about
voting districts being com-
bined in order to save money
Comedy celebrates romance
By JIM WRIGHT
The Hopewell Sun
Things just kind of fell into
place for Austin Begley to get the
lead role in The Game of Love
and Chance, just like things
kind of fall into place on the lat-
est play at the Off Broadstreet
Theatre in Hopewell.
Romance is celebrated in the
classic comedy by Pierre Mari-
vaux, in which the heroine, Sil-
via, learns her father has prom-
ised her hand to Dorante, a man
she has never met. In an effort to
discover the true ways of her in-
tended, Silvia disguises herself
as a servant. Unbeknownst to
her, her intended has done the
same.
Soon, Silvia, dressed as her
maid, Lisette, and Dorante, in his
valet Harlequins outfit, find
themselves flirting dangerously.
Its fun because this character
is a lot of things that Im not, Be-
gley said as his role of Dorante.
He is very proper and very ec-
centric. I work in the corporate
environment, but I like to have
fun. Its exciting to portray some-
one like that truthfully, but at the
same time, make fun of it.
Theater owners Robert and
Julie Thick got in touch with Be-
gley through Joe Farina, his for-
mer high school drama teacher.
By chance, Begely was looking to
get back into acting after a two-
year break in a capella choruses
and some acting in small films.
I was looking for something
to do, and this just kind of fell
into my lap, he said, taking a few
minutes before a recent rehears-
al. When someone offers you the
lead, you take it.
Katie Munley, of Raritan, ap-
pears as Lisette, Silvias maid. In
order to help Silvia, Lisette dis-
guises herself as her master, but
soon is in a quandary when her
own heartstrings are pulled.
Munley, who also serves as the
house manager at the theater
getting the tables set up and su-
pervising such aspects of the the-
ater as reservations was wrap-
ping up her day with the off-book,
no script rehearsal.
Its fun, she said of the act-
ing. Its good to play a character
that is playing a character.
Munley has performed in
three or four plays at the theater
since 2007.
She (Munley) was actually in
my dance class when she was
about 8 years old, she said. A fa-
miliar face at OBT, Curtis Kaine
of Princeton appears as Mon-
sieur Orgon, Silvias father.
Orgon starts as the only person
with knowledge of both sides of
the charade that is about to un-
fold. Newcomer Ryan Diminick,
of Ringoes, plays Harlequin, Do-
rantes valet. Harlequin, dressed
as his master, soon discovers his
own love interest in the house.
The play, Julie said, was origi-
nally set in the 18th century, but
has been pushed forward to
about 1900, since: It was harder
to come down the steps in those
big fluffy dresses.
Stuart Grow, of North
Brunswick, plays Mario, Silvias
uncle and, like Begley, has re-
turned to the Off Broadstreet
Theatre after working in Los An-
Special to The Sun

on the referendum, as resident
William Schoelver, who works at
the polls, pointed out that each of
the 12 districts in the township re-
quires four poll workers at $200 a
day.
Is the plan to fairly allow vot-
ers to make a decision or is it to
confuse them (by combining dis-
tricts)? He asked. If you want to
let it go to a fair vote, youll do it in
May and youll leave the districts
alone. Spend the $20,000 on democ-
racy. Its worth every penny.
Lester had earlier urged the
committee to choose the May 8
date so the referendum would not
interfere with the school board
election in April or the primary
election in June.
The school board election is
entitled to the full attention of the
voters, he told committee mem-
bers. The primary is entitled to
the full attention of the voters and
the referendum is entitled to the
full attention of the voters.
Johnson said voter confusion
should not be an issue, as polling
locations are clearly marked at
the top of ballots.
The school board elections are
not the proper time to have this,
Markulec said. They have
enough issues, and us bringing
this fight to their doorstep is not
appropriate.
Burd, however, felt the school
board election was the best time
to have the referendum, citing the
promptness of the referendum
and the cost savings.
Some may feel that $20,000 is a
drop in the bucket, but it is a great
deal of money. Savings are a sig-
nificant aspect of this, he said.
Township voters, he said, are
intelligent and would be able to
differentiate between the school

board election and the bond issue.
I think they are intelligent
enough to evaluate the issue, and
not make a decision based on a
knee-jerk reaction, he said.
The voters requested that they
get their say-so, Cannon said. I
think trying to figure out whats
in their minds is what got us to
this point in the first place.
The township must publish a
notice at least 55 days before the
special election, ensure mail-in
ballots are available, allow voter
registration up to 21 days before
the vote and publish notice of the
election at least 10 days ahead of
the date.
Seven days before vote is the
last day to apply for mail-in bal-
lots.
The Citizens for Tax Choice
successfully petitioned for the ref-
erendum, garnering 1,700 signa-
tures in 18 days in late December
after the township committee ap-
proved the bond ordinance by a 3-
2 vote on Nov. 28.
Burd, who was township mayor
at that time, said the agreement
with ELSA would cost taxpayers
about $15 per gallon of sewerage
compared with $67 if the existing
plant were upgraded.
Sandom said at the Nov. 28
meeting, however, that the excess
sewerage capacity the township
would be paying for would be
taken by developers and, What
we dont want is to encourage de-
velopment to pay off a debt.
Residents at the Nov. 28 meeting
had expressed concern that the
township committee had not com-
municated that the ordinance
called for a general-obligation
bond, and Sandom voted against
the ordinance for that reason and
the fact that capacity needs were
not entirely determined.
Township attorney Steven
Goodell said at the meeting that
the flow had to be reserved at
ELSA before the scope of the proj-
ects was determined and the
method of user assessment of the
fees.

Projects featured at science fair
The Toll Gate School cafeteria
was simmering with science on
Feb. 10.
During the inaugural science
fair, 60 Toll Gate scientists dis-
played 44 unique experiments ei-
ther with a partner or solo.
As a requirement to partici-
pate, all students conducted an
experiment that followed the Sci-
entific Method.
Co-chairwomen Francie Mc-
Manimon and Jen Tracy were
thrilled and inspired by the dedi-
cation of Toll Gators from kinder-
garten through fifth-grade.
There was a great variety of
creative and impressive science
projects, including Crystal Crisis,
Popcorn Madness, Playing in the
Rain, Fun Food for Squirrels,
Electrifying Juiciness.
The PTOs Nancy and Simon
Archibald, Trish Delehey, Kathy
Frederich, Dodie Hamblin, Lee
Herman, Xenia and Paul Morin,
Cindy Persichilli and Maryann
and Michael Swiatocha, all par-
ents of former Toll Gators who
served as project evaluators,
shared their time and expertise to make the science fair a positive experience for the students.

in our opinion
T
oday marks a special day at
Elauwit Media, publisher of
The Sun newspapers. We wel-
come West Windsor and Robbinsville
to our family.
These two additions bring our num-
ber of newspapers to 15.
We serve the communities of Had-
donfield, Moorestown, Cherry Hill
East, Marlton, Medford, Voorhees,
Washington Township, Shamong, Mt.
Laurel and Tabernacle in South Jer-
sey.
Now, in Central Jersey, we serve
Lawrence, Montgomery, Hopewell,
West Windsor and Robbinsville.
Most importantly, wed like to thank
everyone for the support we have re-
ceived over the years.
We started with one newspaper, in
Haddonfield, in 2004. Our goal always
has been to provide our readers and
advertisers with the best service possi-
ble. We strive every week to bring you
local news that is important to you.
From coverage of local meetings and
events to features on interesting peo-
ple and activities, we want you to look
forward to receiving your Sun in the
mail every week.
But the true measure of success has
been the involvement of the communi-
ties in their local Suns. We ask our
readers to send us news they want to
share with their friends and neigh-
bors. When students achieve greatness
in the classroom or on the playing
field or when civic groups work to
raise money for a good cause, we want
to hear about it and then tell every-
one else about it.
Weve managed to grow rapidly dur-
ing one of the most difficult economic
times in our nations history and
during a time that has been especially
difficult for many newspapers.
We want to continue to grow. And to
do that, we know we have to publish
newspapers that reflect the values and
priorities of the communities they
serve.
We thank you for your continued
support.

police report
The following items were taken from re-
ports on file with the Hopewell Police De-
partment:
A 49-year-old Lambertville man was ar-
rested and charged with possession of co-
caine and drug paraphernalia and posses-
sion of a controlled-dangerous substance
in a vehicle on Feb. 3 at 4:27 p.m.
Police say they observed a Chevy Silver-
ado strike a curbed median along Penning-
ton Road and weave in and out of the
southbound lanes An officer stopped the
car on Interstate 95 and spoke with the
driver. Further investigation found the
driver in possession of plastic bags con-
taining cocaine and various drug para-
phernalia. He was placed under arrest and
transported to police headquarters for pro-
cessing. He additionally was charged with
reckless driving, driving while suspended,
failure to exhibit documents and failure to
wear a seatbelt.
He later was released and this case will
be forwarded to the Mercer County Prose-
cutors Office for review.
A 38-year-old Trenton woman was ar-
rested and charged with drunken driving,
drunken driving with a minor in the vehi-
cle, reckless driving, failure to wear a seat-
belt, a child-restraint violation and driving
with a revoked license after being
pulled over Feb. 4 at 12:54 a.m. along Pen-
nington Road. Police said an officer ob-
served a Ford Expedition weaving in and
out of the southbound lanes, stopped the
car and spoke with the driver. Further in-
vestigation revealed the driver had an out-
standing warrant for her arrest out of
Trenton.
She was placed under arrest and trans-
ported to police headquarters for process-
ing. Further investigation found her to be
under the influence of alcohol. The woman
was later released to an acquaintance and
her case will be heard in municipal court.
Two passengers in the car a 51-year-old
man and a 34-year-old woman were ob-
served not wearing seatbelts and issued
summonses, and were also found to have
outstanding arrest warrants. They were
both placed under arrest and transported
to police headquarters for processing. The
man later was released on his own recogni-
zance on the outstanding warrant out of
Trenton. The woman was later released
after posting bail on the outstanding war-
rant out of Flemington Borough. The
seatbelt charges will be heard in
municipal court.
A 39-year-old Pennsylvania man was
charged with drunken driving on Feb. 9
after police responded to Route 31 on a re-
port of an erratic driver in a Ford pickup
truck at 3:34 p.m. Police say they stopped
the truck, and the officer detected an odor
of alcohol on his breath. After performing
field sobriety tests the driver was placed
under arrest and transported to police
headquarters for processing.
He also was charged with refusal to sub-
mit to a breath test, reckless driving, fail-
ure to maintain lane and failure to exhibit
credentials. He later was released to a rela-
tive and this case will be heard in munici-
pal court.
A 68-year-old Lambertville man was un-
injured in a one-car crash on Feb. 11 at 8:05
a.m. on Route 546. Police said the man was
driving a Subaru Forester, when lost con-
trol of the car after hitting a patch of ice.
The mans car left the roadway, went up an
embankment, and rolled over onto its roof.
A 50-year-old female passenger in the car
suffered a minor arm injury, which was
treated on scene by the Pennington First

geles from 1997 to 2002.
This is actually a very fun
character, he said of Mario. He
gets to provide everything. He
stirs the pot most of the time, and
thats a lot of fun.
Grows first play at the theater
was The Bakers Wife in
1994, and he is performing in
his 11th Off Broadstreet produc-
tion.
I grew up singing and acting,
the North Brunswick native said,
adding that the atmosphere at the
theater drew him home in a
sense.
This is like my second fami-
ly, he said. I always look for-
ward to working with Bob and
Julie, and I look forward to those
phone calls from them. This is a
great theater to work in and the
shows are always top-notch.
The Thicks founded the the-
atre in 1984.
Bob is an experienced per-
former with degrees in music
and a strong opera background,
and Julie is a former
gymnast/dancer who holds an
economics degree. Bob does most
of the directing, and Julie chore-
ographs the musicals.
Most of the productions, Julie
said, are the result of about 16 or
17 rehearsals, about half of
which are off-book, meaning the
actors have no scripts to refer to
and at that point are expected to
have memorized their lines.
The Game of Love and
Chance is the theaters
220th production, which always
is accompanied with desserts,
fresh fruit and warm coffee or
tea. There is a no-sugar-added
option for those on a restricted
diet.
The couple originally wanted
to open as a dinner theater, but
lacking the funds, they decided to
establish a dessert theater.
A year after opening, we
polled our audiences to see if
they would still come if we were
a dinner theater, Julie said.
They agreed, but said the pric-
ing would limit their attendance
to a few times a year and not
every show so we happily be-
came known as The Dessert The-
atre, Off Broadstreet Dessert
Theatre or New Jerseys Original
Dessert Theatre.
She said she is in the process of
sampling potential new sweets of-
ferings, something she calls my
favorite part of the job.
The theater has presented pro-
ductions ranging from Death of
A Salesman to such comedies as
Lend Me A Tenor, and musicals
from Chicago and Guys and
Dolls to such lesser-known mu-
sicals as Soup De Jour.
The theatre has repeated only
a handful of productions over the
years, Julie said, explaining that
a show is not repeated if it has
been run within the past 10 years.
We are lucky to have some of
the most faithful and loyal series
subscribers, she said. They will
be very open in their likes and
dislikes, and that honesty has
helped us to stay in tune with our
audiences.
The theater sometimes invites
audiences, including those who
may not have the means to pur-
chase a ticket, to dress rehearsals
just so the actors can get com-
fortable working in front of peo-
ple.
She credited the longtime suc-
cess of the theater, making her
hard work and that of her hus-
band pay off, to the passionate
actors that perform in our shows,
the dedicated subscribers and
people who buy single tickets,
and the small close-knit town of
Hopewell.
The latest comedy will run
weekends until March 23. Friday
and Saturday evenings, doors
open at 7 p.m. for dessert with an
8 p.m. curtain time. Sunday mati-
nees feature 1:30 p.m. dessert
with 2:30 p.m. curtain.
Admission Friday and Sunday
is $29.50, Saturday is $31.50.
There is a senior citizens-dis-
count ticket of $27 for Sunday
matinees.
All prices include dessert,
show and NJ sales tax.

A 32-year-old Hopewell man
was uninjured in a one-car
crash at the Mount Rose inter-
section on Feb. 11 at 8:18 p.m.
Police say the man was driving
a GMC Sierra when he attempt-
ed to make a left turn on to
Cherry Valley Road from Carter
Road. His car slid off of the
snow-covered roadway and into
a tree, causing damage to the
front and undercarriage of the
car.

snow-covered road and struck a
tree, causing damage to the

A 23-year-old Beaver Springs,
Pa., man was charged with
drunken driving after being
pulled over on West Broad

lice say an officer stopped the
car after observing it traveling
at 40 mph in a 30 mph zone dur-
ing a light snowstorm. The offi-
cer spoke with the driver, who

breath. After performing field
sobriety tests, the driver was

and speeding. He later was re-
leased to an acquaintance and
his case will be heard in munici-
