In the speech, the mayor dis-cussed the townships experi-ences during Hurricane Sandy.Hsueh outlined the roles of thepolice and fire departments, vol-unteers, public works and town-ship officials during and after thestorm.

Hurricane Sandy was an un-precedented disaster, and it is for-tunate that the township wasspared the destruction and devas-tation that New Jersey Shorecommunities suffered and contin-

ue to suffer while they rebuild,Hsueh said. The timely prepara-tion for the storm and prompt re-sponse and clean-up afterwards isdue to the emergency manage-ment efforts of West Windsor po-lice, fire and emergency medicalservices personnel, volunteers,public works, Senior Center per-sonnel and township officials.

Everyone working togetherhelped to keep residents safe andmake it through the hardshipsand inconvenience caused by thestorm.

Hsueh explained the steps thetownship has taken since thestorm to better the emergency re-sponse in the future, includingthe establishment of emergencyfacilities such as a new warming

center.With a new emergency back-

up generator and a dedicated nat-ural gas line at the Senior Center,it will serve as a reliable locationfor our residents experiencingpower outages, Hsueh said.Currently, the municipal build-ing is equipped with Wi-Fi, whichallows our residents and visitorsto use laptop computers andtablets inside the building.

In the address, Hsueh also dis-cussed plans for sustainability

upgrades to the townships mu-nicipal complex.

Consultants have been re-tained to develop a proposal andplans to upgrade the municipalcomplex into a green complex inorder to reduce utility costs andpromote accessibility for servic-es, Hsueh said. For example,the annual utility bill at the cur-rent municipal building current-ly costs more than $84,000 a year.

However, with new energy savingtechnology, we anticipate at least30 percent, or $28,000, in savingsof the utility costs per year in thefuture.

Hsueh said the updates wouldnot be paid for with tax dollars.The money for the project wouldcome from other township rev-enue sources.

This is what non-recurringrevenue like liquor licensesshould be used for, Hsueh said.Better investments in capital im-provements to save expendituresin the municipal budget, thus re-ducing taxes.

Hseuhs address also coveredthe historic preservation effortsthe township has undertaken inthe last year.

I am very proud to announcethat the Schenck farmhouse con-structed in the early 18th centuryand the Dutch barn which origi-nally dates back to the 1750s arefully restored at the Schenckfarmstead, Hsueh said. Afterspending $700,000 over 20 yearsfor renovation of these two im-portant buildings, plus a repro-

duction of a 1900 carriage houseand the restored 1890 one-roomschoolhouse, which originallystood on Clarksville Road, thiscompound will stand on this siteto tell the story of West Windsor.

Hsueh said the township is inthe process of constructing rest-room facilities on the site, andsaid that major constructionwould soon be complete, and theSchenck Farm would be officially

open to the public.At this point, Id like to thank

the West Windsor Historical Soci-ety for their involvement not onlyin the restoration and mainte-nance of these structures, butalso collecting so many historicalitems, Hsueh said. All of theseare very important for future gen-erations growing up in this com-munity to better appreciate theagricultural roots of West Wind-sor.

Cabaret hits the Kelsey Theatre stage in April

In November, New Jersey voters

will have the opportunity to ap-

prove a bill that would increase the

states minimum wage from $7.25 per

hour to $8.25 per hour, starting in Sep-

tember 2014. An approving vote would

also kick in automatic cost-of-living in-

creases each year based on the Con-sumer Price Index.

In his State of the Union address

this year, President Obama recom-

mended raising the minimum wage to

$9 per hour. If Congress approves of

that measure, it would take effect na-

tionwide.

Not surprisingly, though, small busi-

ness owners in New Jersey are over-whelmingly against raising the mini-

mum wage. The New Jersey chapter of

the National Federation of Independ-

ent Business showed that 93 percent of

its members oppose the move. NFIB

Director Laurie Ehlbeck called the re-

sults one of the most one-sided shes

ever seen.

And it should be no surprise as to

why.

The states, and the countrys,

biggest current employment problem

isnt that workers are paid too little; its

that there arent enough jobs available.

Raising the minimum wage, forcing

small business owners to spend more

money, is not a solid tactic to encour-age hiring. The focus should be on in-

centivizing small business owners to

hire more workers, not to pay their

current workers more money.

The governments logic is misguided

if it believes that the reason that un-

employed workers wont take entry-

level jobs is that the salary isnt high

enough. Thats part of the problem,

true, but thats mainly because our

government is incentivizing people not

to work,with the structure of unem-

ployment benefits being what theyve

been for so long now.It would be a shame for a bill like

this to pass at a time when the states

job market just reported positive gains.

The state Labor Department reported

recently that New Jersey gained 66,400

jobs in 2012, the largest such jump

since 2000.

Sure, were still way off the pre-re-

cession employment rate, but at leastits a start.

Our local and federal governments

need to find a way incentivize small

businesses to hire, instead of burden-

ing them with yet another added cost

of doing business.

in our opinion

Put people to workCreating more jobs, not raising minimum wage, is the answer

Your thoughts?

Do you plan on voting for or against thestate constitutional amendment thatwould raise New Jerseys minimumwage by $1 to $8.25 per hour?

sixth grade, I discovered finger-style guitarist Tommy Emmanuelon YouTube and became hooked.I had studied classical guitar withmy teacher up until then.

Finger-style playing is aunique method that allows theguitarist to play the melody,rhythm and bass parts simultane-ously, while adding percussion.

It allows me to play all the

parts of a band, Wong said.Wong began to compose andperform at age 13.

I composed and released myfirst album, Fly Me to the Moon,when I was 14, he said. Sincethen, Ive been touring the NewJersey, New York and Pennsylva-nia regions.

The album features six originalsongs, and six cover songs thatWong arranged for finger-style

guitar. His orginial songs are jazzbased, and also include elementsof blues, rock, country and classi-cal music.

Wong said he doesnt let hisperforming interfere with hisstudies.

During the school year, I gen-erally stick to playing one show amonth, he said. During thesummer, though, I play showsevery week. Im currently book-ing my summer 2013 tour.

Wong will be playing at theWest Windsor Arts Center onApril 6, opening for songwriterAvi Wisnia.

What makes this show specialis that I will be opening for AviWisnia, who is an amazing singerand songwriter, Wong said. Idiscovered him a couple yearsago, and I love listening to hismusic. I also get to perform at theWest Windsor Arts Center, whichis my favorite venue in WestWindsor.

Wong said he hopes to becomea professional musician, and tour

internationally. Many differentmusicians and guitarists inspirehim.

Besides Tommy Emmanuel, Iam also influenced by guys likeChet Atkins and Jerry Reed, hesaid. Im also a jazz player, so Ilisten to people like Django Rein-hardt and Wes Montgomery. TheBeatles are also a major influenceto me for composing.

Tickets for the show, which be-gins at 8 p.m. on April 6, are $20for general admission, $18 forArts Council members, and $15for students, seniors and groupsof five or more.

The West Windsor Arts Centeris located at 952 Alexander Roadin Princeton Junction.

Artistic vision comes in all col-

The 107 works by 88 artists in-clude paintings in oils, acrylicsand watercolors, as well as sculp-tures and mixed media collages.

The Gallery at Mercer is locat-ed on the second floor of the Com-munications Building on theWest Windsor Campus, 1200 Old

Trenton Road. Directions andgallery hours are available atwww.mccc.edu.

The winners of 16 awards wereannounced at an opening recep-tion on March 13. Participating inthe awards ceremony were Coun-ty Executive Brian Hughes andMercer County Freeholder PatColavita, representing the MercerCounty Cultural & Heritage Com-mission, which co-sponsors theexhibit. Also presenting was WestWindsor Arts Council Executive

Director Arin Black, who selectedtwo West Windsor artists, ReneeKumar and Janet Fulton, from 14West Windsor artists featured inthe show.

Said Hughes, This is an oppor-

tunity to celebrate the arts and

how they bind us all together.Added Colavita, whose brotherJim was an art professor atMCCC until his death in 1996,There is so much that takesplaces in the arts. Its a place fortrue freedom of expression.Artists are unsung heroes. Thefame is in your creation. Manyof the winners acknowledged theenduring influence of Jim Colavi-ta as they accepted their awards,noting they had once been his stu-

dents.In her welcome, Gallery Direc-tor Tricia Fagan observed thatvisitors are invariably awed bythe work of those who live amongthem in the county. This is avenue for the countys talent andhas also helped to create a countycollection through Mercer Coun-ty Cultural & Heritage Commis-sion Purchase Awards, Fagansaid.

Fagan explained the imageused on the exhibit postcard is

Waterfall, a painting by AlAronson that was one of the Pur-chase Award winners from lastyears show. She noted that the2013 exhibit is dedicated to Aron-son and two other artists, Tito Ca-

scieri and Elizabeth Ruggles, who

died in the past year.Hamilton resident John Szabo,

a 1987 alumnus of MCCCs Adver-tising Design program, earnedthe Utrecht Art Supplies Best inShow award for Unfit Survival,one of two paintings he had ac-cepted for the show. Attributinghis inspiration to science fiction,Szabo said he captures themesthat suggest the world is going inthe wrong direction.

Sometimes I touch on political

themes. I get my ideas out on can-vas, Szabo said, adding that hebegan doing pencil drawings ap-proximately five years ago, whichhas progressed into painting onlarge canvases. He said the vali-dation that comes from winning aprize spurs his creative energy.He works full time as a conceptu-al designer for The RoyalGroup, which is based inChicago and has an office inHamilton.

MCCC alum Bill Plank, a re-

tired art teacher who now pur-sues painting full time from hisLawrenceville studio, has been se-lected for the show numeroustimes and says its always special.He was especially pleased that

Guadalupe Reyes, one of his for-

mer students from HightstownHigh School, is also in the show.Reyes is a Mercer Fine Arts stu-dent who will complete her asso-ciates degree in May. Reyes Lati-no-inspired works reflect her eth-nic background. Her oil paintingViva La Vida Con FridaKahlo" earned an HonorableMention.

Inspiration sometimes origi-nates from the most unexpectedplaces. Trenton resident Arlene

Gale Milgrams Dark Thoughts,a mixed media on wood that re-ceived an Honorable Mention,was inspired by Milgrams hav-ing broken a bone recently. Thisis the last in a series of six piecesthat suggests systems fallingapart and incorporates imageryof scars and bone totems, Mil-gram explained.

Mic Boekelmann, of Princeton,didnt have to look far for inspira-tion for her two paintings selectedfor the show. They are portraits of

her children, Max, 14, and Luisa,8, who attended the exhibit withtheir mom and say they wereproud to be her models and to beincluded in the show. Boekel-manns painting Max won a

Jurors Choice Award. This

show is a nice opportunity for theart community, she said. Boekel-mann works out of a gallery inHopewell, a space she shares withseveral other artists.

Said Princeton resident Priscil-la Snow-Algava, a past awardwinner whose monoprint Dancefor Oneself was accepted for thisyears exhibit, This is my fa-vorite show. I like the space. I al-ways feel good when I come here.Its an honor to be part of this

community of artists. Retiredfrom teaching, she now pursuesher art full time in a studio spacein Princeton.

Margaret Miller, ofLawrenceville, winner of a Mer-cer County Cultural & HeritageCommission Purchase Award forher oil painting Autumn Tide,said the show was a wonderfulfirst experience. She said she wasthrilled to have won a prize andbeamed when another visitordeemed her painting the best

work in the show. She notes thatshe has taken art courses atMCCC in the past and had fo-cused on crafting before recentlyturning her creative energy topainting.
