Christmas Pageant Ever," which
kicked off Mercer County Com-
munity College's (MCCC) Kelsey

tresses and truly embraced the
Christmas spirit, according to di-
rector and 26-year teacher at
Notre Dame High School Diane
Wargo.
The show, which was presented
by The Kelsey Players and Toma-
to Patch, told the story of a couple
struggling to put on a church
Christmas pageant because they
decided to cast a family of six
delinquent children the Herd-
mans in the Sunday school
Christmas play against the
Special to The Sun
In the family-friendly comedic Christmas tale that kicked off Mercer Community Colleges Kelsey The-
atres holiday season on Nov. 16, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, one of Gods angels is shown be-

The non-profit organization
that financially assists Lawrence
Townships schools, the Lawrence
Township Education Foundation
(LTEF), recently awarded 18
grants totaling more than $51,000
to all of the Lawrence Township
Public Schools.
The grants, which will be used
to fund new and innovative pro-
grams in each of the schools,
were submitted by district teach-
ers and cover a broad range of
disciplines including physical ed-
ucation, music, science, reading
and speech therapy, according to
Executive Director of LTEF Ivy
Cohen.
Cohen detailed all of the ways
the grant money is going to be
used by Lawrence Intermediate
School (LIS), Lawrence High
School (LHS), Lawrence Middle
School (LMS), Slackwood Ele-
mentary, Lawrence Elementary
and Ben Franklin Elementary.
At LIS, fourth graders will re-
ceive an Academy of the Go as-
sembly presented by the Acade-
my of Natural Sciences, fifth
graders will receive new interac-
tive language arts center activi-
ties, and sixth graders will re-
ceive books for a summer reading
program. New percussion instru-
ments were also given to LIS to
enhance the music program.
At LHS, athletic, school and
community events will benefit
from the new sound system in-
stalled in the gymnasium, and a
basketball rebounding machine
will be installed in the physical
education department for stu-
dents and athletes. There will also
be a new online video library, reg-
istration for academy students to
attend the New Jersey Model
Congress simulation, and multi-
ple sets of Senteo responders to

Trenton-Mercer Airport
selected by Special Olympics
Mercer County Executive
Brian M. Hughes recently an-
nounced that Trenton-Mercer
Airport (TTN) has been selected
as the Host Airport for the 2014
Special Olympics USA National
Games to be held in Mercer Coun-
ty from June 14, 2014, to June 21,
2014.
The selection was first an-
nounced by Cessna Aircraft Co.
officials at the 65th annual Na-
tional Business Aviation Associa-
tion Convention in Orlando, Fla.
With the selection of New Jer-
sey as the site of the 2014 Games,
Cessna started looking at area
airports that could host the Cita-
tion Special Olympics Airlift.
This airlift, made up of volunteer
pilots and their companies Cess-
na Citation aircraft, provides ath-
letes and coaches with round-trip
flights from their hometowns to
the site of the competition. Work-
ing with the Special Olympics,
Cessna Aircraft Co. started this
volunteer effort in 1985 and con-
tinues to spearhead it today. Cess-
na selected TTN due to its great
aviation facilities and proximity
to the athletic events, which will
take place at various sites in Mer-
cer County. It is expected that
more than 200 aircraft will be in-
volved in the transportation of
athletes to and from TTN for the
Games.
This is a wonderful opportu-
nity for the Airport and the Coun-
ty as a whole, Hughes said. The
Special Olympics is an interna-
tionally known organization dedi-
cated to helping challenged chil-
dren meet their fullest potential
on the field of competition and in
life. Being part of this effort is a
calling of the highest order, and
we readily accept the challenge.
We have a great airport, and
we know it, he added. TTNs se-
lection by Cessna helps to under-
line that fact to a much broader
audience.

A
lot of things impact the econo-
my, perception perhaps being
one of the greatest influences.
We often hear about consumer confi-
dence and why it is essential to get
things moving in the right direction.
When consumers feel secure in their
job and finances, they are more likely
to open their wallets and spend more.
The added dollars help the economy.
A couple of weeks ago, the New Jer-
sey Business & Industry Association
announced that business confidence in
sales, employment and profits has
climbed to a five-year high. According
to a press release, almost one in five
businesses responding to the groups
annual fall survey anticipate hiring
more workers in 2013. When you sub-
tract the percentage of businesses an-
ticipating job cuts, the net percentage
of companies anticipating the need to
hire additional workers is 8 percent,
the highest in five years.
To put it into more perspective, the
percentage of confident companies in
2005 was 19. In 2009, it was a minus 3.
Now, we have to point out that the
survey took place about a month be-
fore Hurricane Sandy so there proba-
bly is some sentiment change. The bil-
lions of dollars in damage from the
storm no doubt hurt the economy.
But the overall positive business sen-
timent is reason to rejoice.
If the survey is accurate, more peo-
ple will be purchasing goods and serv-
ices next year. Businesses will be mak-
ing more money, and, in turn, will be
hiring more people to get the job done.
Good news such as this has been a
long time coming. Clearly, the economy
isnt zipping along as it was back in the
aforementioned 2005. But it also is
showing a lot of signs of life. More
businesses saying they feel good about
their future is a really big sign.
So let the holiday season carry on.
Its off to a great start. More jobs and a
stronger economy no doubt are on the
holiday wish lists of many residents
this year.
in our opinion
Confidence builds
News that more businesses are confident about the future should be celebrated
Back in business
News that businesses in New Jersey
are feeling more confident in their
futures and anticipate hiring more peo-
ple next year is the holiday gift a great
number of residents wanted.
church members will.
Wargo explained how the story unfolds
in a quaint community where the people
aren't keen on change and are afraid of
people who are outside of the norm.
"The lesson learned is that we need to
look beyond our preconceptions of people
and accept those who are different," she
said. "When we step out of the box we live
in, we'll find the good in all and ultimately
experience the 'best Christmas pageant,
ever.'"
The performance showcased a number
of younger actors and actresses, who were
all responsible for putting together the
pageant, including one of the troublemak-
ers in the play, Ollie Herdman, played by 8-
year-old Lawrenceville resident Hayden
Clark.
"I love being in plays," he said. "I was in
'Twas the Night Before Christmas' for two
seasons at Kelsey Theatre. What interested
me about this is that I have a big role in
this show."
Clark explained how the Herdmans may
come off to be troublesome children, but
actually have some interesting attributes
to add to the pageant's dynamic.
Another younger actor and
Lawrenceville resident Jack Granahan,
who played Charlie Bradely, explained how
he was the initial cause of the problem in
the show because he introduced one of the
Herdmans to the church.
"The show teaches the giving spirit of
Christmas, but the show is more funny
than it is serious," he said. "I loved per-
forming in it."
Another Lawrenceville resident, Faith
Fonseca, who played the Angel of the Lord
in the pageant at the church, explained
how the most unique aspect of the show is
that a poor, tough family learns the true
meaning of Christmas.
"This famous play was made into a
movie years ago," she said. "It is a classic."
Wargo explained how the show truly
embraced the chaos of the holidays, which
she also dealt with when working with the
25 children cast. However, she also noted
that the children were easy to work with
and added unexpected, interesting tidbits
to the show, which ultimately made the
show one-of-a-kind.
"I am the luckiest director around work-
ing with these talented kids," she said.
"During the audition, I worked to get to
know the actors, and we did a lot of acting
exercises so that I could see who would re-
spond to improvisation, was creative and
worked well with others. It really worked
out. There are three scenes where I had to
choreograph chaos amongst the children,
and these children took the direction and
kept the chaos controlled and contained,
yet fun. I would cast these children again.
I've really enjoyed working with them."

The Mercer County Library
System is holding a special food
drive during December to help re-
plenish local food banks depleted
in the aftermath of Hurricane
Sandy.
To date, the response has been
so strong, with donations arriving
from as far west as Ohio and as far
south as Virginia, that the library
has had to make weekly deliveries
of donations to local service or-
ganizations, rather than simply
deliver the donations at the end of
the collection period.
On Nov. 15, a delivery van full
of donations food, clothing,
toys, books and a $1,100 monetary
donation arrived from Ohio at
the Ewing Branch. Unloading of
the donations took staff more
than 30 minutes to accomplish.
The individuals from Ohio had
come across the library as a col-
lection point for Sandy victims on
the Internet.
To witness this type of com-
munity response has been ex-
traordinary, Mercer County Ex-
ecutive Brian M. Hughes said.
We have seen a dramatic in-
crease in donations since the
storm, and to see donations come
in from other parts of the country
it truly demonstrates the magni-
tude of peoples generosity.
The collected nonperishable
food items will be distributed to
the Crisis Ministry, Mercer Street
Friends Food Bank of Trenton,
HomeFront of Lawrence, the Rob-
binsville Food Pantry, and Rise
A Community Service Partner-
ship in Hightstown. Anyone
wishing to donate items may do
so at any of the nine branches of
the Mercer County Library Sys-
tem, located in the municipalities
of East Windsor, Ewing, Hight-
stown, Hopewell, Lawrence, Rob-
binsville and West Windsor.
Some of the most-needed items
are canned fish and chicken,
shelf-stable milk, peanut butter,
canned vegetables and potatoes,
cans of fruit, non-sugary hot or
cold cereals, pasta, boxed maca-
roni and cheese, dried beans and
rice. Household goods and cloth-
ing are not being accepted. Addi-
tional information regarding col-
lection and a list of items that are

In his final academic year and
after more than four decades
teaching at Mercer County Com-
munity College (MCCC), Fine
Arts and Art History Professor
Mel Leipzig will present a series
of four lectures on the painters
and the people he loves the
most.
Leipzig, a renowned artist
known nationally and interna-
tionally for his realist paintings,
will present the first of his series,
Costume and Textiles in the His-
tory of Painting, at noon on
Wednesday, Dec. 5, in Kerney Hall
(Room 229) at MCCCs Trenton
campus, located at 102 North
Broad Street.
This slide lecture will focus on
clothing designs for men and
women, a topic of particular in-
terest at the Trenton campus due
to the growing popularity of
MCCCs new Fashion Design pro-
gram, available only in Trenton.
Leipzig said a robust arts commu-
nity in Trenton, as well as the
new program in Fashion Design,
made Trenton a natural location
for the lecture series.
Clothing designs in artistic
works provide unique insights
into the subjects time in history,
culture, and values, he said.
Clothing, accessories they all
tell a story, about the artist as well
as the subject.
Leipzigs lecture will feature
works by Sassetta, Ghirlandaio,
Bronzino, Velazquez, Vermeer,
Boucher, Ingres, Manet, Whistler,
Eakins, Vuillard, Matisse and
Pearlstein in a journey that en-
compasses the Renaissance, Man-
nerists, Baroque, and Rococo pe-
riods.
Other lectures, scheduled for
spring 2013, include African-
American Painters: Horace Pip-
pin and Jacob Lawrence, on
Wednesday, Feb. 6; The Great
Painters of Spain, on Wednes-
day, March 3; and Portrait of a
College: Paintings by Mel
Leipzig, on Wednesday, April 10.
All lectures will be held from
noon to 1 p.m. in Kerney Hall at
the MCCC Trenton campus.
Leipzig has been a professor of
Fine Arts and Art History at Mer-
cer since 1968. He has works in
permanent collections at the
Whitney Museum of American
Art, the National Academy Muse-
um, and the Cooper Hewitt Muse-
um, as well as the New Jersey
State Museum.

opportunity to visit the Metropol-
itan Museum of Art will also be
available for commercial and
practical arts students.
At LMS, a new literary maga-
zine is going to be published and
music students will receive on-
line subscriptions to record their
performances.
At Slackwood Elementary and
Lawrence Elementary, new pro-
grams will be provided to assist
in speech therapy. Also at Slack-
wood, there will be a family en-
gagement program entitled Real-
izing the American Dream.
Funding for professional develop-
ment will also be implemented in
all lower elementary schools.
Lastly, at Ben Franklin Ele-
mentary, a greenhouse will be
added to the newly established
S.N.A.P. learning space and exer-
cise ball chairs will be placed in
one of the schools classrooms.
The foundation, which just
completed its fall 2012 grant cycle,
awards grants to schools three
different times throughout the
year, according to LTEF Board
President Paul Schindel.
Theres the fall grant cycle
and spring grant cycle, which
award grants to the individual
schools for projects that are spe-
cific to those schools or in some
cases, schools collaborate so they
all benefit for those programs,
he said. The winter grant cycle
is where we receive grant applica-
tions from the district for district-
wide initiatives.
Schindel detailed how the
LTEF has a very specific and de-
tailed grant application process,
where each application is thor-
oughly reviewed several times by
different individuals, starting
with the school principals and the
LTEFs Grant Review Committee
(specifically designed to review
grant applications), and then by
the LTEFs trustees and the
LTEFs board members.
These individuals look at a va-
riety of aspects, such as the
grants goals and objectives, suit-
ability, longevity and appropriate-
ness for funding (be it full, partial
or none).
This year, Schindel explained
how the LTEF received 25 grant
applications with a requested
total of $102,000, and awarded 18
grants for a total of half of that
amount.
Schindel detailed how the
LTEF receives substantial fund-
ing from ETS and The
Lawrenceville School, which have
both been annual donors since
the foundations inception, as
well as many other organizations
and businesses in the community
and outside of the community.
However, he also explained
how the grant money comes from
multiple other sources, including
community members.
In some ways, the most impor-
tant sources are the parents and
other community members who
donate to LTEF, he said. They
dont count for the greatest
amount of dollars, but that par-
ticipation is key because it shows
the willingness of people in town
to make an investment in our
children, in the school district,
and in the results that the district
generates.

the LTEF or for anyone wishing
to donate, visit ltefnj.org.

Mel Leipzig: Mostly Recent
Works is at the Gallery at Mer-
cer County Community College
(MCCC) through Thursday, Dec.
27. Eighteen works by the inter-
nationally renowned artist who
has taught at MCCC for more
than four decades will be on dis-
play. The Gallery is located on the
second floor of the Communica-
tion Building on Mercer's West
Windsor campus, located at 1200
Old Trenton Road.
Gallery Talks will be presented
by Professor Leipzig on Wednes-
day, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. and Wednes-
day, Dec. 12 at noon. The exhibit
will be the backdrop for a Winter
Solstice Concert featuring My
Three Suns, an improvisational
jazz ensemble, on Thursday, Dec.
20 at 6:30 p.m. All events are free
and open to the public.
Leipzig, who has taught art
and art history at Mercer since
1968, will retire from teaching in
May 2013 to pursue painting full-
time. According to Gallery Cura-
tor Tricia Fagan, the exhibit has
been conceived as a tribute to
Leipzig.
We wanted to do something
that would honor Mel, in a tiny
way, for all he has brought to the
college and to the much larger art
community in the region, she
said. This exhibit is a result.
Its clear that Leipzigs work
as an artist has finally taken cen-
ter stage in his life and he relishes
the opportunity to focus more
and more time on his painting,
Fagan added. And, he certainly
has paid his dues as an impas-
sioned and dedicated professor
over the past 45 years. How many
lives has he touched? How many
artists has he inspired? An aston-
ishing legacy.
She noted that Leipzig specifi-
cally requested that this show not
be a retrospective, but rather
should focus on works completed
in the last few years, including
several that he completed only re-
cently. Several paintings will fea-
ture Mercer professors, including
MCCC Theatre Program Coordi-
nator Jody Person and the cast of
the colleges student production
of Hedda Gabler; another fea-
turing Mathematics Professor
Art Schwartz in the classroom;
and Leipzigs just-finished paint-
ing of Andrea Lynch, associate
professor of Computer Concepts
and Business.
Gallery hours for this exhibit
are Sundays and Mondays from
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and from 5 p.m.
to 7 p.m. For more information,
call the Gallery at (609) 570-3589 or
visit the Gallery website at
mccc.edu/gallery.
