    Arlina Cai, a senior at Mont-gomery High School, recentlywon several awards for her paint-ing, Vermeer, in the nation-wide contest for teenagersknown as the Scholastic Art andWriting Awards.

    The contest, which is in its

    90th year, gives students ingrades seven through 12 the op-portunity to be recognized fortheir creative talents. There are

    28 different categories of art andwriting students can apply to,with the chance of either earn-ing scholarships or having theirworks exhibited or published.

    The Alliance for Young Artists& Writers was founded in 1994 topresent the awards and to giveteenagers this national platformto portray their works, accordingto the organizations website.

    The awards have some note-worthy winners, including AndyWarhol, Sylvia Plath and RobertRedford.

    There are two types of awardsin which students can be recog-nized regional and national.Less than 1 percent of the partic-ipants who submit work to thecontest receive medals, Cai said.

    Every four years, there is a big,

    big election in New Jersey that

    costs candidates lots and lots of

    money. Gubernatorial candidates ad-

    vertise hard and heavy throughout the

    state, spending boatloads of cash in the

    New York City and Philadelphia metro

    markets.This years election for Garden State

    governor is extra special because the

    incumbent, Chris Christie, is thought

    to be a leading candidate for the Re-

    public nomination for president in

    2016.

    Before that is a possibility, though,

    he will have to beat his Democratic op-

    ponent in New Jersey this November.

    And, even before that, hell have to

    defeat his Republican opposition for

    the gubernatorial nomination, Seth

    Grossman, an Atlantic County lawyer

    and political veteran.

    While the focus of this election has

    already been on Christie and top Dem-

    ocratic candidate Barbara Buono, both

    must make it through next Tuesdays

    Primary Election before they can com-

    pletely turn their focus to Novembers

    General Election.

    Buono, a state senator from Newark

    who has been representing the 18th

    Legislative District since 2002, will

    square off against Troy Webster, an

    aide to the mayor of East Orange.

    If Buono and Christie succeed next

    week, as many expect, theyll officially

    turn their focus on each other, letting

    the money, and muckraking, fly.

    Both parties have already begun tel-

    evision ad campaigns, and the number

    of ads and ferocity of the content will

    surely pick up as Novembers election

    approaches.

    Its an unfortunate reality of cur-

    rent-day electioneering, especially in

    this state.So expect your TV sets, your radios

    and your newspapers to be filled with

    political advertisements over the next

    six months until an official governor is

    named.

    In the meantime, get out and vote in

    the Primary Election next Tuesday,

    June 4, if youre a registered Republi-

    can or Democrat.

    In addition to the gubernatorial elec-

    tion, there are also elections for the

    General Assembly, state Senate and

    local governing bodies. This is your

    first chance to let your voice be heard.

    Campaign season has begunWith Primary Elections next week,let the advertising begin

    Your thoughts

    Do you plan to vote in next TuesdaysPrimary Election? If so, why? If not,why? Send us your thoughts in a letterto the editor.

    Drift, owner of Daube Farm. I'meverywhere in town and peoplesay they can't believe we didn'thave it last year, so a lot of peopleare looking forward to it thisyear. The local people really sup-port it.

    Drift, who has been holding

    the event on his farm since its in-ception, came up with the idea tobring a rodeo to town to generatemoney for local charities.

    I was the only farmer aroundwho had horses, and everybodyin town was looking to raisesome money for local organiza-tions, he said.

    There are a lot of charitiesaround, so my wife and I, whocompete a lot with our horses,were in Texas and went to theFort Worth Stock Show and

    Rodeo and happened to meet theguy that headed it. He was verynice, and we were talking to himabout fundraisers, and he told methe show was a fundraiser for allof the local kids programs. So,he said, why don't you try it backby you? and I thought it was anawful good idea because there arecarnivals and all these things youcan do, but nobody's ever seen arodeo.

    The first year Drift brought therodeo to Montgomery Township,it was a hit. He held a three-dayevent, with a total of four shows,where he sold between 3,000 and4,000 tickets and raised $18,000 insponsorships.

    Thats how it ended up start-ing and it just kept getting big-ger, he said.

    However, since the cost of run-ning a three-day rodeo was rela-tively expensive $28,000 whenhe first started it he decided tocut it back to a two-day event fea-

    turing two shows.It has raised a lot of money

    over the years, Drift said. It hasprobably raised around $500,000since it started. Its been great.

    This year, the MBA was look-

    ing for a fundraiser to host, so itapproached Drift.

    They were curious if theycould work with us, so I said,sure, he said. Theyre han-dling the advertising and money.

    Jennifer Pierce, president ofthe MBA, explained how theMBA pursued the rodeo as anoth-er one of its local initiatives.

    When the MBA first started [21/2 years ago], our first initiativewas to shop local, but we were

    also talking about what cause wecould participate in to give backto the community, she said. Wewanted to try to make a differ-ence and have a cause we couldcall our own, so, when the rodeowas cancelled last year, I came upwith the idea to have that as ourcause.

    It draws people in from allover New Jersey, Pennsylvaniaand Delaware, so we figured wecould use the rodeo to bringmoney from outside of Mont-

    gomery to help Montgomerys or-ganizations.

    The MBA acquired severalsponsors for this years event, in-cluding 1st Constitution Bank,Belle Mead Co-Op, AIMS, Mas-sage Envy, Princeton Back &Spine, Tigers Tale and FultonBank. Additional sponsorshipsare still available.

    The MBA has also pinpointeda selection of local non-profitsthat will be receiving funds fromthe proceeds of the event, includ-ing The Crawford House, Mont-gomery EMS, MontgomeryWomans Club, Eden AutismServices, Global Communities ofSupport, The Montgomery PBA,Rocky Hill First Aid and RescueSquad, and the Drift ScholarshipFund at Montgomery HighSchool.

    This is a huge fundraiser; itsnot just a show to make money,Pierce said. It has always beenand still is a fundraiser for Mont-

    gomery charities. Thats whywere doing this.

    The rodeo will begin at 7 p.m.on Saturday, June 8, with gatesopening at 5 p.m. On Sunday,June 9, the show starts at 3 p.m.,

    with gates opening at 1 p.m.Tickets are $15 for adults and

    $12 for kids. Children under 3will be admitted for free. Onsiteparking is $5.

    Tickets can be purchased at 1stConstitution Bank, Technician X,Village Shoes, Utopia for Pets,KiKi D's, Belle Mead Garage,Window Accents and Flooring,The Tigers Tale, Massage EnvySpa and Jersey Fresh Photos.They will also be available at the

    event.For more information on the2013 Montgomery Rodeo, go toshoplocalmontgomery.com ornjrodeo.com.

    Gold Key awards.She also received a Silver

    Medal, the second-highest awardon a national level, which recog-nizes works that demonstratehigh honors for Vermeer.

    I like to paint famous worksof art in a reinterpreted style,

    Cai said.I find that it makes it easierto experiment with differenttechniques when I have a setsubject. I painted the girl withthe pearl earring because I've al-ways been fond of the painting,so it made sense to make my ownversion.

    Cai also submitted one of herother works to the contest lastyear, which was recognized witha Silver Key, the second-highestlevel of achievement on a region-

    al level that recognizes approxi-mately 10-15 percent of all re-gional submissions. I've beendoing art since I was a little kid,

    but started painting last year,she said.

    My art teacher wants her stu-dents to submit their paintingsin the competition, so I did. Idon't really care for the awards.It's nice to be recognized, but Idon't feel like it validates me.

    As each year passes, the pro-

    gram grows with increased par-ticipation from students andcommunities across the country.In the past five years, submis-sions have topped 700,000, andstudents have been eligible formore than $25 million in awardsand scholarships, according tothe website.

    Bands from all over performedat the Music in the Parks Festival

    BY ANITA LOUIE

    Special to the Sun

    On May 11, the crowd washushed as the announcer steppedon the stage. The audience was amotley crew of rain-drenched stu-dents, each displaying a schoolshirt. Mr. Heller had a stuffedmonkey piggybacking his neck.

    The day before, 11 bands hadtraveled all the way from Indiana,New Jersey and Virginia to per-form in the Annual Music in theParks Festival at Palmyra HighSchool in Pennsylvania. From 9a.m. until 10 p.m. on May 10, theaudience had seen a huge meltingpot of music by the time Mont-gomery took the stage. Mr. JeffWoodworth conducted the seventhand eighth grade choirs perform-ing an astounding variety ofmusic including 100 Years,Benedictus, Amani Utupe,

    Seize the Day, O Nata Lux, and

    Viva la Vida. I was extremelypleased with the performance,Woodworth said.

    In a different venue, the presti-gious Montgomery Jazz Band, di-rected by Mr. Ron Heller, enteredthe stage amid cheers. They awedthe crowd with a fantastic rendi-tion of Sioux Falls Fusion andHard Right before the seventhgrade concert band entered underthe direction of Dr. Adam Hackel.The seventh grade performed AScottish Portrait and cuts fromthe musical Jekyll and Hyde.

    Afterward, the eighth gradeband with conductor Heller start-ed off with a lighthearted song,Sundance, before finishing offMontgomerys performances withLongford Legend.

    The young musicians, satisfiedwith their outstanding perform-ances, then hopped on buses back

    to the hotel where they stayed the

    night, celebrating with friends.Bright and early the next morn-

    ing, the students headed out toHershey Park, where they had ablast rocketing upside down onroller coasters and trying out theirskills in arcade games despitesome light showers.

    However, the highlight of theday was yet to come. Around 4p.m., the musicians assembled andheaded to the nearby HersheyArena for the Music in the Parksceremony. Representatives fromeach ensemble were sent down tothe middle of the arena whileeveryone else sat waiting withbated breath. The scoring systemwas explained the bands wouldbe graded with a rating of Poor,Fair, Good, Excellent, or Superior.To Montgomerys delight, all theensembles took home a trophy forExcellent.
