Yardley Players to perform Bye Bye Birdie
By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
This month, all the poodle
skirts, saddle shoes and gold
lam-wearing rock stars you can
handle are coming to Mercer
Community Colleges Kelsey The-
atre in West Windsor.
On July 20, 21, and 22, the Yard-
ley Players will present Bye Bye
Birdie, a musical set in 1958 and
inspired by the popularity of
Elvis Presley.
In Bye Bye Birdie, hugely
popular rock and roll star Conrad
Birdie has been drafted into the
Army, and is set to go overseas.
Before he leaves, his agent plans
to have Birdie sing one last song,
live on television, then kiss one
teenage fan goodbye.
Accordingly, Birdie ends up in
Sweet Apple, Ohio, to kiss Kim
MacAfee, and in the process, cre-
ates all kinds of drama.
Sixteen-year-old Sally Graham,
from Yardley, Pa., plays Kim
McAfee, the teenage girl chosen
for the kiss.
Kim is very sweet in the first
act, Graham said. She is a lot
like myself; shes sweet and naive
and doesnt really know whats
going on with modern stuff, and
she is trying to act older, but is re-
ally actually younger.
In the play, Grahams character
has just started dating her
boyfriend, Hugo, but the excite-

ouve no doubt passed someone
texting while driving. The per-
sons focus isnt on the road. In-
stead, its on spelling a word correctly
or getting that last comment in.
But a bill in the state Senate it
passed recently by a 38-0 margin
would hike fines for texting-while-driv-
ing considerably. And repeat offenders
would face stiff fines and a possible
drivers license suspension.
If the bill passes in the Assembly,
and Gov. Christie signs the bill into
law, a first-time offender would face a
fine of $200, up from the current $100
fine.
A second offense would run a mo-
torist a $400 fine, and a third offense,
$600.
A three-time offender would be
slapped with three drivers-license
points.
And a fourth-time offender would be
subject to a license suspension of 90
days.
We applaud this bill and want to see
the Assembly pass it and the governor
sign it into law.
Though New Jersey already has
tough texting-while-driving laws on
the books, a short ride on any of the
states major roads would reveal the
penalties are not yet tough enough.
Far too often, people recklessly pay
more attention to their texting than
they do the road.
And quite frankly, the larger fines
and the prospect of losing a drivers li-
cense for up to three months for repeat
offenders is the right penalty for this
kind of behavior.
Its bad enough in 2012 when people
drive while speaking on the phone
(without the use of a headset or blue-
tooth device).
But texting is clearly worse. And
more distracting. And its time people
who gamble with the lives of others
while driving and texting pay a hefty
price for doing so.
This bill must pass in the Assembly,
and the governor must sign it into law.
Swiftly.
in our opinion
Texting bill is on the button
Fines for sending messages while driving would double under new law
Will you still text and drive?
Despite the prospect of a much
tougher state texting-and-driving law,
we wonder if itll matter to local drivers.
Will you still text and drive if the new
law passes?

ment surrounding her appear-
ance on television with Conrad
Birdie leads her to doubt her feel-
ings for Hugo.
In the second act, she becomes
a little more rebellious, and starts
running away from home, and
does all these crazy things with
this Conrad Birdie guy, Graham
said.
The part of Kim MacAfee,
along with that of Conrad
Birdies agent, Albert, and his
girlfriend and secretary, Rosie, is
one of the main roles in the play,
requiring plenty of singing and
dancing, as well as acting, but
Graham is comfortable in all
three areas.
My favorite part is definitely
the dancing and singing, Gra-
ham said. I like acting, dont get
me wrong, but its not my
strongest. Id definitely consider
singing and dancing my stronger
points.
Graham said she is involved
with choir at Pennsbury High
School, where she attends school,
and also participates in high
school plays. She has been in-
volved in two Kelsey Theatre pro-
ductions prior to this one: Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat, and The Wizard of
Oz.
I like the feeling you get when
all eyes are on you, Graham
said. Its like a temporary high
that you get. Its so much fun.
Graham said while she doesnt
know if shell make theater a ca-
reer, she will definitely keep
doing it for fun.
I definitely want to keep doing
shows and acting, whether I make
a career out of it or not, Graham
said. Im not really sure about
that yet, but Ill definitely do
something in music because I
dont want to give that up.
Lorraine Perri, from Florence,
plays Rosie Alvarez, the girl-
friend of Birdies agent and song-
writer Albert Peterson.
Perri, a junior at Montclair
State University, is very familiar
with the part, having played the
part of Rosie in a production in
her senior year of high school.
Its so much fun to play it
again, I want to give it like a new
edge, Perri said. I want to make
it better; I want to make it differ-
ent than I did it in high school.
Perri said she started doing in
plays in middle school.
In sixth grade I was like, Huh,
Ill just give it a go, Perri said.
It stuck, and Perri has been
performing ever since.
Being on stage is just like an
escape from real life its my es-
cape from whatevers going on in
my life, Perri said. You eventu-
ally become the person, and its

equipment in the Physical Educa-

Centers atrium floor will be re-
placed, as will the entryway.
Making more efficient use of
existing space at the downtown
Trenton campus, buildings are
being renovated to provide a one-
stop Information Center with
computers where students can
register and work online, a new
science lab and a renovated sci-
ence lab, a new classroom with
state-of-the-art technology, a Ca-
reer Center, and new rooms for
student activities, independent
study and group work.
A newly acquired building in
Trenton, across Broad Street
from existing buildings, will add
needed space for programs in
Fashion Design, Fashion Mer-
chandising, and other visual and
digital arts. The building will pro-
vide space for future expansion of
health, science and business pro-
grams in Trenton.
Says MCCC President Patricia
Donohue, After listening to stu-
dent concerns, we are enhancing
what they will experience. They
will have a more open, more user-
friendly learning environment at
the Trenton campus.
Dedicated to helping students
succeed, MCCC offers free tutor-
ing, academic advisement and as-
sistance with state and federal fi-
nancial aid programs, grants,
loans and scholarships. Flexible
scheduling includes the tradition-
al 15-week semester plus semes-
ters of 10, eight and five weeks,
with day, evening and weekend
hours to accommodate most
schedules.
Continuing this fall are bache-
lors degree programs offered for
MCCC graduates right on the
West Windsor campus. William
Paterson University offers pro-
grams in Education, Liberal Stud-
ies, Psychology and Business Ad-
ministration, Fairleigh Dickin-
son University in Business, Hos-
pitality, Communications and
Criminal Justice, and Felician
College in Nursing.
New Jersey legislation ensures
that community college credits
will transfer easily to four-year
state colleges, and MCCC also
holds transfer agreements with
other colleges nationwide. Na-
tional statistics say that commu-
nity college graduates who trans-
fer to four-year institutions do as
well as, or better than, students
who begin there.
The college will host an Infor-
mation Session this fall for col-
lege-bound students and their
parents, focusing on how to begin
at MCCC and transfer for a four-
year degree. It takes place on
Wednesday, October 17 at 6 p.m. in
the Student Center on the West
Windsor campus, 1200 Old Tren-
ton Road. To register call 609-570-

lege experience for high-achiev-
ers. The program is open to eligi-
ble incoming freshmen. Honors

"We'll fix your drip in just one trip!"
just fun to portray someone elses
life onstage.
Perri said she considers
singing her strongest ability, but
noted that her part requires a lot
of dancing, which she has
learned along the way.
Ive never taken any struc-
tured dance classes, but this is a
strong dancing character so I
guess I fake it very well, Perri
said. When Im given a chal-
lenge, I like to step up to the plate
and achieve it.
West Windsor native Peter
Alexander plays Kim MacAfees
father Harry, who is baffled by the
response of the females around
him to star Conrad Birdie.
Its a fun part; I basically get
to have a meltdown for two hours
and then go home, Alexander
said.
Although the character is com-
ically over-the-top, Alexander
said he can relate to the part
somewhat, as he is a father him-
self.
Harry is really kind of crazy
everything kind of gets him
upset, Alexander said. Hes
very focused on his daughter
being pure and innocent, and this
kids listening to him. As a father
myself, I would love my kids to
listen to me more, but they dont,
so I definitely get in touch with
that aspect of it.
Alexander has a lot of experi-
ence onstage, though he said it
has been some time since he was
last in a performance.
Ive been an actor for years,
and was stay-at-home dadding
with my kids for about the past
five years and was dying to get
back on stage, Alexander said.
Alexander came across an au-
dition notice for the play, and to
his delight, is now back on stage.
I really love being in front of
an audience, Alexander said. I
like the storytelling aspect of it.
Its an incredible rush being up in
front of an audience and have
them enjoying what you do.
Seventeen-year-old Hamilton
resident Brent Tuccillo also loves
being in front of an audience.
I love acting, I love singing, I
just feel like I have a knack for it,
Tuccillo said.
Tuccillo plays Conrad Birdie,
who can make any female swoon
with the slightest of hip swivels.
Hes very stuck-up; this is
kind of like a parody of Elvis,
Tuccillo said.
It is obvious Tuccillo has fun
with the character. When asked
about his gold lam suit, he said,
I love it. My boots are going to be
gold too.
Although this is the first play
Tuccillo has been involved with
at the Kelsey Theatre, he has been
acting since seventh grade, he
said, and has performed in The
Sound of Music (as Captain Von
Trapp) and The Wizard of Oz at
Steinert High School, where he
attends.
I love just showing people my
talent, I love the applause at the
end, thats my favorite, Tuccillo
said. Im definitely going to do
some stuff with acting in the fu-
ture. I dont know if it will be a
main thing, but Im definitely
going to do something with it.
Tuccillo said he has enjoyed
his experience at Kelsey. Ive met
a lot of new people, he said. I
feel like Ive created a new fami-
ly.
Performances are July 20 and
21 at 8 p.m., and July 22 at 2 p.m.
Kelsey Theatre is located on the
colleges West Windsor campus,
1200 Old Trenton Road. Tickets
are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors,
and $14 for students and children,

JULY 18-24, 2012 THE ROBBINSVILLE SUN 11
By JULIE STIPE
The Robbinsville Sun
Along with farmers markets,
one other local food trend has
been picking up steam in recent
years: Community Supported
Agriculture, or CSA. It is now
possible to find farmers who offer
CSA programs almost every-
where, including Robbinsville.
CSA is a way for consumers to
buy local produce (and some-
times other foods as well) directly
from a farm. In short, a farm will
allow families to buy shares of
what the farm produces in a sea-
son. Consumers pay before the
season begins, and then receive a
certain amount of whatever the
farm is producing each week.
The program helps out farmers
by bringing in revenue early in
the season, when farms need it
most, and allows farms to share
the risk of farming with con-
sumers. It also lets farmers give
consumers whatever produce is
at its peak at the time.
For those buying shares of the
produce, a CSA is similar to a
farmers market: it provides
fresh, local produce (and some-
times other products like eggs,
meat and cheese) and enables
consumers to form a relationship
with a grower and to see where
their food comes from.
It can also encourage families
to try new fruits and vegetables.
Maybe you dont usually buy
beets and dont exactly have a go-
to recipe for them well, you
might just get a bunch in your
next CSA share. Some families
might not enjoy this forced cre-
ativity, but for others, its the most
exciting part of CSA.
Robbinsville is currently home
to two farms that participate in
Community Supported Agricul-
ture. Windy Acres Farm on Wind-
sor Road is a 10-acre farm owned
by Amy and Michael Giovanelli.
Im pretty sure we were the
first ones to initiate a CSA in Rob-
binsville, Amy Giovanelli said.
As well as benefiting the
farmer by providing him with
payment in advance, Giovanelli
said the program saves money for
members of the CSA.
A CSA is a lot cheaper than
going to a farmers market, Gio-
vanelli said. You get a lot more
quantity.
Giovanelli said she tries to pro-
vide each CSA member with a
fair amount of produce for the
amount paid without overwhelm-
ing anyone or causing food to be
wasted.
A full share (enough produce
for a four person family) at Windy
Acres Farm is $550, or $25 per
week, and a half share is $300, or
$15 per week.
Giovanelli said she sends out a
newsletter each Monday to tell
members what they will likely
find in their bags when they pick
up the produce at the farm.
Each week members get what-
ever is available, Giovanelli said,
but she also said she tries to give
members different kinds of pro-
duce each week.
For those worried about figur-
ing out what to do with unusual
produce, Giovanelli said the farm
doesnt grow anything too exotic.
I dont grow strange, bizarre
things, Giovanelli said.
At Windy Acres Farm youll
find beets, corn, potatoes, can-
taloupes, spinach, kale, cabbage,
zucchini, broccoli, peaches and
more, all hand-chosen by Gio-
vanelli.
I pick it and it goes right into
your bag, she said.

Windy Acres CSA program, visit
www.windyacressoap.com, or call
(609) 722-2122.
East Gate Farm, located on
Gordon Road in Robbinsville, is
owned by the DAmico family, and
also offers a CSA program. The
farms produce can also be found
at the Robbinsville Farmers Mar-
ket on Monday afternoons.
East Gate offers full shares for
$400; full shares may be split by
two families. The farm grows
spinach, collards, radishes, pep-
pers, tomatoes, lettuce, swiss
chard, eggplant, herbs, and more.

Gate Farms CSA program, con-
tact the DAmicos at (609) 259-2455
