Rowers vie for spots
Two local rowers will try out

West Windsor residents
with homes near the Mercer
County Community Colleges
proposed 45-acre solar farm
project along South Post and
Old Trenton Road are becom-
ing increasingly anxious as
the project appears to be going
ahead despite efforts to halt it.
Council members and con-
cerned residents discussed
possible courses of action dur-
ing a work session at a West
Windsor Township Council
meeting on June 25.
Since residents argue that
aspects of the solar farm proj-
ect have changed since the
project was initially approved
by the Mercer County Plan-
ning Board, councilman
Bryan Maher suggested that
the council and residents write
a letter to County Executive
Brian Hughes, asking that ap-
proval of the project be with-
drawn or a stay be put in place
until the plan could be re-
viewed again.
The only thing that would
satisfy me, and, I think, these
residents, is for Brian Hughes
to say I want this stay of exe-
cution; were not breaking
ground until everybodys ques-
tions are answered to their sat-
isfaction, said Maher.

At the West Windsor Arts Cen-
ter, the environmental arts por-
tion of the centers Multi-Arts
Camp has been so popular that
the center has added a camp en-
tirely focused on environmental
art this year, said West Windsor
Arts Center Program Director
Corinna Bisgaier.
The kids loved it so much,
Bisgaier said.
The concept of environmental
art is simple, though broad.
I kind of define it in a couple
of different ways, Bisgaier said.
Making art outside, or making
art out of natural materials, or
making art out of natural materi-
als outside.
At the West Windsor Arts Cen-
ter, environmental art can take
the form of examining and draw-
ing leaves, building teepees in the
woods, creating patterns on the
ground using flowers, or clearing
paths through the woods.
It was Bisgaiers idea to intro-
duce environmental arts activi-
ties into the camp. Last year was
the first year such activities were
included, but Bisgaier said she
has known about the concept for
some time.
I grew up in rural North Car-
olina, and when my dad was a kid,
his family and another family al-
ways used to play in the woods to-
gether and build stuff, Bisgaier
said. One of the kids my dad
used to play with basically midlife
quit his career and became an
artist.
The playmate of Bisgaiers fa-
ther was Patrick Dougherty, now
a sculptor known worldwide for
his whimsical hut-like structures
built out of tree saplings, many of
which look something like human
bird nests.
I helped him down at Grounds
for Sculpture where Dougherty
was a sculptor-in-residence so I
knew this was something people
do, Bisgaier said.
Kids at the arts centers camp
dont create anything quite so im-
pressive, but the environmental
arts activities get them outside,
give them the opportunity to exer-
cise their imaginations, and teach
Special to The Sun
At West Windsor Arts Center multi-arts camp, kids create environmental art inspired by artist Robert
Smithson. BELOW: Sebastian Silva and Vedant Nair record their observations of the woods during the

Registration now open for
field hockey umpire course
Learn a new skill and earn $50
per hour umpiring field hockey.
Registration is now open for
the evening summer course of-
fered by Mercer County Commu-
nity College and taught by Cris
Maloney, editor of USA Field
Hockeys Ask the Umpire fea-
ture and author of the book,
Field Hockey: Understanding
the Game.
Maloney, a former high-level
player and certified umpire
coach, said: The best new um-
pires can be college or high
school students and recent gradu-
ates with reliable transportation.
Anyone with recent playing expe-
rience is hard to beat. Of course,
older individuals who are fit, fast
and willing to learn modern offi-
ciating can step in and really help
kids play to the best of their abili-
ties. Folks without strong field
hockey backgrounds can con-
tribute at the sub-varsity and
middle school level. Theres some-
thing for everyone as umpires are
needed at every level middle
school, high school, club and col-
lege.
Maloney's students have
ranged in age from pre-teens to
retirees. Theyve officiated at
middle schools and high schools
and gone on to umpire the game
at the college level as well as the
National Futures Champi-
onships, National Hockey Festi-
val, California Cup and the USA
Junior Olympics.
The course, which is also ap-
propriate as a refresher for expe-
rienced umpires needing some
up-to-date training, will take
place July 9 to 12, from 6 to 8:30
p.m. The tuition is $40. Materials
cost approximately $30. USA
Field Hockey membership is $85.

The following items were taken
from reports on file with the West
Windsor Police Department:
On June 10, at 5:04 p.m., officers
were dispatched to the Wegmans
Store in Nassau Park in response
to the report of a fleeing shoplifter.
Upon arrival, offices say they
learned that a shoplifter, later
identified as a 28-year-old
Lawrenceville man, allegedly left
the store without paying for multi-
ple DVDs and CDs, valued at $341.
The man, police say, then ran
through the parking lot, got into
his vehicle, crashed into a vehicle
parked next to his with its driver
inside it, and fled the area. Weg-
mans loss prevention was able to
provide investigating Patrolman
Jason Jones with the vehicles
registration and Jones was able
to track the man to his address in
Lawrenceville. Jones responded
to the address and placed the man
under arrest, report said.
The man was taken to head-
quarters and processed for the ar-
rest, and was issued a criminal
summons for shoplifting and traf-
fic summonses for reckless driv-
ing, failure to report a motor-ve-
hicle accident, and leaving the
scene of a motor-vehicle accident.
He was released on his own recog-
nizance and given a court date.
On Wednesday, June 13, at 8:05
p.m., Patrolman Jany says he
stopped a black Nissan at Mercer
County Community College on
Loop Road for not having a front
license plate, failure to signal a
turn, and for an inoperable rear
brake lamp.
Upon meeting and speaking
with the driver, later identified as
a 20-year-old Hamilton man, Jany
says he discovered the man was
in possession of marijuana. He
was placed under arrest, taken to
headquarters and processed for
the arrest and was issued a
criminal summons for possession
of marijuana (under 50 grams)
and traffic summonses for failure
to signal a turn, failure to mount
a front license plate, failure to in-
spect the vehicle, and possession
of CDS in a motor vehicle, accord-
ing to reports. The man was re-
leased on his own recognizance
and given a court date.
On Wednesday, June 20 at 10:14
p.m., Patrolman William Jones
was dispatched to Route 1 south-
bound at the entrance to Nassau
Park on a report of a motor-vehi-
cle crash. Upon his arrival, Jones
says he found a Ford SUV over-
turned in the grass median area.
Upon meeting with the driver of a
vehicle, later identified as a 52-
year-old Doylestown, Pa., man,
Jones observed several signs of
impairment. Because of the
minor injuries sustained in the
crash, the man was taken to Capi-
tal Health System, Regional Cam-
pus, by the Twin W Rescue
Squad. The man was issued traf-
fic summonses for drunken driv-
ing, reckless driving and careless
driving and given a future court
date, according to reports.
On Thursday, June 14 at 1:14
a.m., Patrolman Silcox stopped a
black Nissan on Route 1 at Wash-
ington Road for failure to keep
right and speeding. Upon speak-
ing with the driver, later identi-
fied as a 20-year-old Robbinsville
man, Silcox says he noticed the
odor of marijuana coming from
the interior of the vehicle. A fur-
ther investigation revealed a bag
of 19 individually wrapped pieces
of chocolate candy believed to
contain marijuana, two prescrip-
tion pills and a soda can altered to
conceal items. The man was
placed under arrest, taken to
headquarters, and processed.
He was issued criminal sum-
monses for possession of CDS
with the intent to distribute, pos-
session of over 50 grams of mari-
juana, possession of prescription
drugs and possession of drug
paraphernalia.
The man also was issued traffic
summonses for speeding, failure
to keep right and operating a
motor vehicle with too many pas-
sengers on a provisional driver's
license. He was released on his
own recognizance and was given
a court date, police said.
On Monday, June 18 at 8:33
p.m., Patrolman Jones stopped a
red Chevy SUV on Route 1 north-
bound near Nassau Park for fail-
ure to maintain lamps and ob-
struction of view for the operator.
Upon meeting with the driver,
later identified as a 22-year-old
North Haledon woman, Jones
says he noticed the odor of mari-
juana coming from the interior of
the vehicle. A further investiga-
tion by the officer revealed the
woman was in possession of mar-
ijuana within the vehicle. She
was placed under arrest, taken to
headquarters and processed.
She was issued a criminal sum-
mons for possession of marijua-
na (under 50 grams) and was re-
leased on her own recognizance,
pending a future court date.
On Wednesday, June 20, at 12:22
a.m., at Route 1 northbound and
Harrison Street, Patrolman Sil-
cox says he stopped a Ford operat-
ing without any lights on and for
failing to maintain a lane of trav-
el. Upon meeting with the driver
of the vehicle, later identified as a
37-year-old New York City man,
Silcox says he observed several
signs of impairment.
The man was requested to per-
form several field-sobriety tests,
which police say he failed. The
man was placed under arrest and
taken to headquarters, where po-
lice say he refused to provide sam-
ples of his breath for analysis.
The man was issued traffic
summonses for drunken driving,
DWI refusal, operating a car with
no headlights, failure to maintain
a lane, failure to travel in the
right lane, and reckless driving.
The man was released on his
own recognizance and was given
a court date, police said.

in our opinion
F
rom all of us at Elauwit Media
to all of our loyal readers, we
wish you the happiest and
healthiest Fourth of July.
As rough as things are in our coun-
try our economy is still poor, unem-
ployment is extremely high and the
Phillies cant seem to win a baseball
game anymore things could be a lot
worse for us.
A quick glance at the world around
us reveals just how fortunate we are, as
Americans, to have the freedoms we
do. And lets face it, these freedoms we
often take for granted.
Imagine, for just a moment, what it
must be like to live in Syria.
Imagine what it must be like to live
in China, where we recently learned of
how real and barbaric the nations one-
child-only policy really is.
Imagine what it must be like to live
in Egypt, where theres still instability
and a lack of confidence in the nations
parliament.
We live in a nation where, despite
our differences, we manage to co-exist
peacefully for the most part.
We live in a nation where our Con-
gress and where the office of the presi-
dent have functioned and survived for
236 years.
We live in a nation where, for the
most part, were free to do as we please.
This simply isnt the case in many
corners of the world.
Today, we give thanks for the liber-
ties won for us hundreds of years ago.
We give thanks for the many women
and men who have made incredible
sacrifices to protect these freedoms in
battle in Afghanistan and Iraq and
countless other places in the Middle
East and abroad.
We remember their families who,
like they, have also made sacrifices by
saying goodbye so we can do things as
simple as having a barbecue sometime
today.
Finally, we give thanks for all that
America is and stands for. It may not
be perfect, but a quick glance of the
news shows: life could be much worse.
Happy Fourth of July
A quick look at world news a reminder of how fortunate we Americans are
Independence Day 2012
July 4, 2012 today we give thanks
for all the liberties we have as
Americans. We give thanks for the
sacrifices our miliary continues to
make. We give thanks that we are
American.
Special to The Sun
June 3 was National Can-
cer Survivors Day, the date
The Machestic Dragons
choose each year to hold
their annual Dragon Boat
Festival, Paddle For Pink, in
Mercer County Park, West
Windsor. The event in-
volved dragon boat racing,
cultural entertainment,
food, merchandise vendors,
a silent auction of 50
prizes, ceremonies, a DJ
and a 50/50 raffle all to
benefit breast cancer char-
ities in New Jersey. This
year, 44 teams (nine teams
were comprised of breast
cancer survivors) partici-
pated. The event was
sponsored by volunteers
from New Jersey first
breast cancer survivor
dragon boat team The
Machestic Dragons, and
raised funds to help those
affected by breast cancer
rehabilitate their bodies,
minds and spirits. For more
information, visit
www.machesticdragons.org
or paddleforpink.org.
Paddle for Pink held in West Windsor
them some basics about art, Bis-
gaier said.
The getting outside part is im-
portant, in Bisgaiers mind, espe-
cially with a generation that
spends the majority of time in-
doors interacting with technology.
For me, I feel that getting into
nature is critical for everyone just
to be happy and to be a fully
formed individual, Bisgaier said.
I think you have to have a con-
nection with nature, and I think
this is almost an excuse to look at
things in a different way and to
look at things really closely.
Many of the camps environ-
mental arts activities take place
in the woods across the road from
the arts center. In the woods, kids
have cleared and delineated paths,
set up a gathering area complete
with stumps for seats and created
other clearings to represent hous-
es, rooms, fireplaces and even
pools as part of camp projects.
The kids would be fine playing
outside, Bisgaier said. Its not
necessary to have the level of in-
struction that we have, but it ele-
vates the conversation to more of
an artistic conversation.
The work the kids do with natu-
ral, three-dimensional materials
also provides them with an un-
usual artistic experience. The
skills that they develop are very
different artistic skills than you
would develop in something like a
drawing class, Bisgaier said. Its
almost close to engineering be-
cause theyre really working on
building and balance and use of
space.
The projects also involve team-
work and cooperation. Kids work
on projects like building a fort,
clearing paths or creating designs
in groups.
Its a lot about the process of
the work and the conversation
thats happening while theyre
working and problem-solving,
Bisgaier said. Theyre figuring
out how something is going to bal-
ance or how theyre going to move
something thats really heavy.
Since art created outside of nat-
ural materials tends to be tran-
sient, Bisgaier said, councilors
and teaching artists constantly
document kids creations through
photographs and videos. They
also keep track of how kids in the
camp respond as they create and
learn.
If theyre thinking through
something thats really interest-
ing, we want to make sure we
write down their words, Bisgaier
said. This helps all of us who are
very much learning about kids all
the time were constantly talk-
ing about how to better support
them and better work through the
process.
A number of teaching artists
are involved in the centers multi-
arts camps. Jane Craven Proulx
teaches much of the environmen-
tal art portion of the multi-arts
camps, as well as the entirely en-
vironmental art camp in August.
Proulx teaches art in the West
Windsor-Plainsboro High Schools,
and taught with the arts center
last year as well.
Proulx ties together art made
inside with art made outside, as
well as with nature. Part of the
camps classes on patterns in-
volved looking at leaves, drawing
and identifying them, then find-
ing leaves outside and incorporat-
ing them into a larger work of art.
We looked at leaves and identi-
fied them, and then we were doing
drawings just breaking down the
leaves into patterns and repeats so
they could identify them, Proulx
said. Now were trying to find
what leaves belong to what trees.
Tomorrow were going to put
them together so they make one
big pattern with all of our leaves.
The environmental art compo-
nent of the multi-arts camp seems
to be a favorite among kids, which
bodes well for the arts centers
first wholly environmental art fo-
cused camp later this summer.
Camper Mariamme Latif
Estafan has attended the arts cen-
ters camps for years, and is espe-
cially enthusiastic about the envi-
ronmental art aspect.
Its a lot of fun because we go
into the woods and we do stuff.
Sometimes we use things in the
woods, and we use them in other
crafts, she said, adding, Jane is
a really good teacher.
Along with drumming and
weaving some other activities of-
fered at the multi-arts camp
camper Luke Potts said that build-
ing things in the woods is definite-
ly one of his favorite parts of the
camp.
Yesterday we got to have
groups of three and we got to
make our own fort, Potts said.
We made a fort with a jail and a
bench and we surrounded it with
rocks.
Campers Hannah Goldschmidt
and Helen Heuer are definitely
hooked on environmental art.
I like going in the woods,
Heuer said.
And I like drama and going
into the woods, said Gold-
schmidt.

JULY 4-10, 2012 THE WEST WINDSOR SUN 9
Herbert said Brian Hughes does
not have the power to stop the
solar project.
Its up to the Mercer County
Community College, Herbert
said.
Herbert said the colleges
board of directors has the most
binding authority over the col-
leges actions and might be able to
execute a stay on the project.
Council members suggested
that residents record specific,
provable instances in which the
college has not held to what it
promised. Herbert told residents
he would incorporate those in-
stances into a letter to the col-
leges board of directors and to
Hughes.
Herbert also praised residents
for their careful record keeping
and documentation.
Youre one of the most capa-
ble objector groups Ive ever
seen, Herbert said. Youre un-
believable; I give you a ton of
credit.
West Windsor resident John
Church suggested that going to
the county executive and board of
directors might be unproductive.
It seems to me that Mercer
County Community College must
report to the state Board of Edu-
cation, and the state Board of Ed-
ucation must report to the secre-
tary of state in New Jersey, and
the secretary of state in New Jer-
sey must report to Gov. Christie,
Church said. Thats your chain
of command. You should go
there.
Council members agreed.
Then well send it up this chain
of command and CC all these
other guys, Maher said.
Maher also suggested residents
move quickly in putting the letter
together.
You want to get this out fast;
theyre seriously going to break
ground in a couple weeks,
Maher said.
