Maire Tashjian and Amy Schindler of the two-woman band ViRAGO lead teens at the Mercer County teen arts festival in a drumming session
on the campus of Mercer County Community College.
Students participate in arts festival
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
On the quad at Mercer County
Community College in West
Windsor, kids are learning how to
drum, how to sew, how to juggle
and how to fold origami cranes.
Inside the college buildings, they
are playing instruments, giving
monologues, performing dances
and exhibiting artwork, among
other things.
The event is called the Mercer
County Teen Arts Festival, and
this year it drew more than 1,000
high-school and middle-school
students to Mercer County Com-
munity College.
At the event, students can have
professionals critique their art,
whether visual or performing;
they can participate in work-
shops for playwriting, for chore-
ography, for using a potters
wheel and for photography.
They can even perform at an
open mic caf, run by songwriter
and performer Spook Handy.
Handy encourages students to
sing, read poetry or play instru-
ments in front of their peers and
gives them tips on how to be an ef-
fective performer.
The festival is important,
Handy said, because it allows
kids to explore aspects of the cre-
ative arts.
Were taught an academic ap-
proach to growing up, Handy
said. There needs to be a space
for the creative approach.
Handy added that in his experi-
ence, people with backgrounds in
art tend to be the most successful
in business. Art also instills a
beneficial mindset on young peo-
ple, he said. Art is celebratory,
Handy said. Were we put on this
planet to consume or were we put
on this planet to celebrate?
When Handy talks to young
performers, he first tells them to
get out of their own way and let
the art come through. He also
tells them to pay attention to the
way the audience responds, so
that performing becomes shar-
ing, which makes the event par-
ticipatory for the audience.
Today, we have so much going

Free hair cuts for cancer sur-
vivors will be offered on Tuesday,
June 5 from 9 a.m.to 9 p.m. at
three Great Clips salons in Mer-
cer County (East Windsor, Nassau
Park in West Windsor and Hamil-
ton Marketplace) to support the
efforts of the Cancer Survivor
Beauty and Support Day.
In observance of the day, Great
Clips will join with other salons
nationwide to offer free hair cuts
for cancer survivors.
Last year, Great Clips at East
Windsor, Nassau Park and Hamil-
ton Marketplace raised $3,000 for
Childrens Miracle Network,
which directly benefits Childrens
Hospital of Philadelphia.
There are more than 10.1 mil-
lion cancer survivors in the United
States. This year, more than 1.3
million new cancer cases will be
diagnosed in the United States.
While many public-health initia-
tives address early detection, pre-
vention and control of cancer, pub-
lic health efforts to address cancer
survivorship are relatively new.
Salons, spas and schools can
provide survivors a wonderful
gift of support to honor cancer
survivors by offering free servic-
es to women, men and children
who have courageously fought
their battle with cancer.
For more information on the
Cancer Survivor Beauty and Sup-
port Day, call Denise Schiera at
(609) 553-3196.

in our opinion
M
emorial Day is behind us,
and summer has begun. Un-
officially, of course.
That means a lot of outside, sum-
mer fun is on the horizon. Carnivals,
festivals, concerts, you name it.
If you or a group youre working
with has something going on this sum-
mer, and you want a lot of people to at-
tend, let us know about it. Well be
happy to spread the word.
Providing this kind of hometown
news is a staple of coverage in all 16 of
The Sun newspapers. These events are
important to their respective commu-
nities. People come out and meet their
neighbors. New friendships are creat-
ed.
Were proud to bring this type of
news to your home every week.
But we need your help to be success-
ful.
When you receive your Sun in the
mail, were already working on the
next edition. Last week, when we had
short holiday deadlines, we were put-
ting the finishing touches on a num-
ber of the papers during the middle of
the week.
Thats why we ask you to submit
news about your event at least two
weeks in advance. That gives us plenty
of time to schedule it to be published
prior to the big day. If you want to
send a follow-up email to make sure
we received your announcement, that
doesnt hurt, either.
Please include all of the pertinent
information: where the event is and
when it takes place; any entrance fees,
a phone number or email address peo-
ple can use to get more information,
etc. Everything a person would need to
know to come out to your event and
have a good time.
We dont have a huge staff, so we
cant cover all of the events taking
place. Please feel free to take a few pho-
tos and email them to us afterward.
We want to help make your event as
successful as possible, and we want to
share memories of your event with
the community. Have a great summer.
Summer fun
Big event this summer? Let us know about it
Summer events
If you are hosting a summer event,
please let us know at least two weeks
in advance so that we can get the
information into the paper. Also, if
you take a few photos during the
event, wed love to see them, too.

tural entertainment, food, merchandise

on on our iPhones, Handy said,
that we forget to share with each
other.
Since performing in front of an
audience can be nerve-wracking,
Handy also tells kids to support
their peers during open mics and
other performances.
I talk to the audience about
being a good, supportive audi-
ence, Handy said.
Standing up to sing in front of
your peers takes guts, but submit-
ting visual art that is then cri-
tiqued in front of peers takes
courage too. Artist Sarah Stengle
has been critiquing two-dimen-
sional and three-dimensional art-
work for the festival for several
years now.
Stengle said she focuses on
being supportive of kids and
their work.
Its really important to stay
positive because theyre getting
critiqued in front of their peers,
Stengle said. Theyre really put-
ting themselves out there.
Critiquing is about being criti-
cal, Stengle said, but not in a neg-
ative way. Rather, she said, its
about thinking critically about
art.
Stengle said she often tries to
give kids historical background
for the art they create by telling
them about artists who are mak-
ing, or have made, art with simi-
lar materials or a similar idea.
I take their piece and I tell
them about something else in the
art world they might not know
about, Stengle said.
Stengle believes that the festival
is important because it levels the
playing field. Students who attend
the festival come from expensive
private schools as well as less well-
endowed schools, such as Trenton
Central High School, but each stu-
dent is given the same opportuni-
ties to exhibit their work and talk
to professionals.
Trenton Central High
Schools arts program is under-
funded, Stengle said But these
are kids who have a lot of things
to say.
Only two of the sculptures
Stengle critiqued were from Tren-
ton, she said, but one of those was
one of the strongest in the show
in terms of communicating an
idea and a vision, Stengle said.
Another role of the festival,
Stengle said, is to help teens see
art can be a lifestyle and a career.
People dont meet career
artists often, Stengle said.
When they do meet them, she
added, its in a classroom setting.
At the festival kids are able to
meet many talented artists who
make a living with their art.
Sculptor Kate Graves agreed.
It helps people see that its a
totally valid choice in life,
Graves said. Graves has certainly
made art her choice in life, hav-
ing exhibited sculpture at the
Arts Council of Princeton, Art-
works in Trenton, and Grounds
for Sculpture in Hamilton.
Permanent installations of her
sculpture can also be found in the
Capital Health Center in
Hopewell, on the D&R Greenway
and on the campus of Princeton
University.
Although Graves usually
works in metal sculpture, she also
quilts. At the festival she runs an
ArtStop booth for kids to learn
what quilting is about as well as
the basics of using a sewing ma-
chine.
These two interests may seem
difficult to reconcile, but Graves
disagrees.
Welding and sewing are not
that different, Graves said.
Both activities are about piec-
ing things together, Graves said,
whether it be two pieces of metal
or two pieces of fabric.
There are choices involved,
Graves said. Youre combining
two different things.
Being creative seems to be a
passion for all of the artists tak-
ing part in the festival, whether
teens or adults, and Graves is cer-
tainly no exception.
Theres nothing Id rather do,
Graves said.
Festival levels the playing field, says artist

West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu
Hsueh is pleased to announce the
creation of the Mayors Economic
Advisory Group. The purpose of
this group will be to foster eco-
nomic development in West
Windsor. The group is currently
comprised of 11 members who
represent a cross-section of the
West Windsor business and resi-
dential community. Hsueh will
serve as the groups chairman.
The group held its first meet-
ing on May 8 to discuss goals and
objectives, and to develop a work-
able action plan to implement
them. At present, the group will
focus on the following objectives:
to facilitate communications with
business-oriented organizations
and the business community; to
secure support for new business-
es from established businesses;
and to provide the ability for es-
tablished businesses and poten-
tial new businesses to interact
with township operations.
In its discussions, the group
emphasized the importance of
supporting existing businesses as
well as attracting new ones, and
recognizes that additional objec-
tives may be added in the future.
In order to facilitate these ini-
tial goals, the groups first action
item will be to develop a website
in conjunction with the town-
ships website.
The new site will provide a sin-
gle, reliable and informative cen-
tral location to attract and pro-
mote new and existing business-
es, while offering valuable infor-
mation for businesses and resi-
dents alike.
Some examples of the type of
information the group hopes to
provide include: a complete list of
West Windsor businesses and em-
ployers; resident and
employer/employee demograph-
ics; West Windsor-Plainsboro
School District data and rank-
ings; a description and links to
cultural, recreational, and his-
toric venues in and around West
Windsor, as well as the numerous
higher educational facilities in
the area; complete and up-to-date
maps; real estate availability, both
commercial and residential, as
well as information about utili-
ties that operate in West Windsor;
and complete and current infor-
mation on West Windsors status
as an important regional and na-
tional transportation hub.
In light of this, the group dis-
cussed ways to help beautify the
train station area, such as better
signage, and additional landscap-
ing, and is considering how to in-
volve local groups in these projects.
The group plans to meet bi-
weekly to develop ideas and pro-
ceed with its action plan items,
and will be inviting various
speakers and organizations to
present ideas and foster commu-
nication. A representative from
the Princeton Regional Chamber
of Commerce will be attending
the groups next meeting as an in-
vited guest speaker.
The next meetings are Wednes-
