The township is moving for-
ward with the Cranbury Road
Pedestrian Improvements proj-
ect, and will be providing a copy
of its request for proposal for res-
idents to view prior to going out
to bid.
Most residents were in favor of
the projects progress at the
Township Councils last meeting
on Sept. 30, but were discouraged
by the rumors that have been cir-
culating throughout town in re-
gard to the RFP.
Silvia Ascarelli, member of the
West Windsor Bicycle and Pedes-
trian Alliance, said residents
have been hearing that the RFP
includes looking at whether to
make Cranbury Road one-way
from Millstone Road to Route 571,
as well as making Clarksville
Road a one-way street.
Township Administrator Mar-
lena Schmid cleared up the ru-
mors, briefly detailing the options
the township is considering for
the project.
The goal of the RFP is to ex-
amine the existing conditions on
Cranbury Road from Route 571 to
the Plainsboro border, and to
come up with alternative con-
cepts and costs of providing safe
pedestrian and vehicle facilities,
she said. This could be side-
walks, bike lanes, multi-use paths
or possibly making Cranbury
Road one-way in either direction.
This and traffic studies will also
need to be conducted.
Schmid said the Council re-
ceived the draft of the RFP with
comments from the Mercer Coun-
ty Engineering Office on Sept. 27,
and have passed it along to the
township engineering depart-
ment for review and to incorpo-
rate the countys comments.
The RFP is a large study, and
it currently will call for three
open public meetings to be con-
ducted, which will allow for pub-
lic review and comment, she
said.
Residents urged the Council to
provide a copy of the RFP for
them to view and provide feed-
back on once its completed, al-
though the process doesnt nor-
mally involve residents, accord-
ing to Township Attorney Mike
Herbert.
Although Council isnt legally
bound or required to provide the
RFP for the public to view, Her-
bert said he would post a copy of
the RFP on the townships web-
site sometime during the second
week of October.

October 17th, 18th and 19th
The following information was
provided by the West Windsor Po-
lice Department.
On Sept. 1 at 12:07 p.m., a 47-
year-old male secreted $287.13
worth of meat underneath his
jacket and fled a store without
paying. The man was arrested for
shoplifting. It was later deter-
mined he had an active warrant
out of Bucks County and was
transported to the Mercer County
Work House.
On Sept. 2 at 5:10 p.m., a 21-
year-old female concealed various
food items and a book in her
handbag and then attempted to
exit Walmart in Nassau Park Re-
tail Center. She was arrested and
charged with shoplifting. She was
later released pending a future
court date.
Between 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 19
and 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 20, un-
known actor(s) entered a Massa-
chusetts residents unlocked 2013
gray Chevy Malibu and stole the
vehicle. The vehicle was parked
in the Taylor Court parking lot at
the time it was stolen. The vehicle
is valued at approximately
$26,000.
On Sept. 21 at 3:42 a.m., Patrol-
man VanNess stopped a 2008 red
Dodge for speeding. While con-
ducting an investigation as a re-
sult of the traffic stop, the driver,
a 23-year-old male, provided Van-
Ness with false information re-
garding his identity in an effort to
avoid arrest for active warrants
out of Trenton Municipal Court.
He was arrested and charged
with hindering apprehension.

catering firms.
Job placement has been partic-
ularly successful for a range of
students who have completed this
program, said Jorge Maldonado,
chef and five-year program direc-
tor for CTI.
Our graduates are working in
restaurants, and some are work-
ing at Princeton Universitys cafe-
teria, he said. For me, that
makes me feel good; theyre able
to excel and take my name with
them.
Maldonado, who came to
America from Guatemala more
than 20 years ago, followed his
passion for cooking, working in
an array of hotels before one gave
him the opportunity to go to the
Culinary Institute of Arts and be-
come a certified chef.
I love teaching people how to
cook, he said. And, I got a great
opportunity coming here [to
MCCC] because I got to change
the whole menu, transform the
program and take it to the next
level.
Maldonado made an ordinary
program into something that
makes his students want to come
to school every day, he said.
Before I came here, the menu
was nothing to get excited about,
he said. So when I came to
MCCC, I brought some of my
ideas here from my experience
working with private companies.
Now, I can dedicate my time to the
students and the quality of food
its supposed to be. I want stu-
dents to have pride in themselves
and their work and be excited to
come to school.
Maldonado creates all of the
breakfast, lunch and dinner
menus two weeks in advance,
sometimes taking ideas from his
students, who create every meal
that comes out of the kitchen.
We do Chinese, French, Indi-
an, Mexican, everything, because
people like all different things,
he said.
More notably, he brings up-
scale, expensive dishes to the
campus for prices that are un-
heard of.
One day, the students concoct-
ed grilled salmon topped with
crabmeat, served with sauted
vegetables, rice and bread for
only $7.50 a dish that would nor-
mally run well more than $20 at a
restaurant.
Maldonado said he strives to
keep the dishes between $5 and $7
so everyone can enjoy a nice meal
for a reasonable price.
Its a lot of running, but its
very exciting, he said. Im very
glad everything is working out
and that Ive had this opportuni-
ty.
Although Maldonado prides
himself on exposing students to
all aspects of cooking, this isnt
the only thing the students are
benefitting from at the Trenton
campus.
For the last two years, theyve
also had the opportunity to work
hands-on with another seasoned
chef, Matt McElmoyl, who owns
and runs Oliver a bistro in Bor-
dentown.
McElmoyls BYOB restaurant
serves local fusion cuisine, con-
sisting of French, Italian, Asian
and Mediterranean.
I do everything but make
pizza, basically, he said. Its all
seasonal and local produce. I
work with farmers; I run the
farmers market in my town so I
know all of the famers. I also run
a burrito stand at the farmers
market.
McElmoyl is a graduate of the
Academy of Culinary Arts in At-
lantic County and has been a
valuable addition to MCCCs CTI
program, bringing his extensive
experience and reputation to the
Trenton campus.
McElmoyl has graced different
restaurants throughout the coun-
try, heading kitchens at Renault
Winery and Chef Volas in At-
lantic City, and assisting in other
places, such as Lacroix at the Rit-
tenhouse Hotel and Novelty in
Philadelphia.
He was also selected from
among 5,000 chefs as one of the
nations top culinary talents for
the inaugural edition of the book,
Best Chefs America.
At MCCC, he teaches a Hospi-
tality 101 course two days each
week, and also assists in the
kitchen to help the students exe-
cute what they learn in the class-
room.
Its a good way to learn its
real hands-on, he said. Its not
like I have a class and I say, were
going to make chicken cordon
bleu today. Its like were actually
doing things and making meals.
Though McElmoyl enjoys run-
ning his own restaurant, he said
hed love to receive a full-time po-
sition at MCCCs CTI program, if
possible.
I cant run my own restaurant
forever, he said. Im working 70
hours each week and its too
much. Ive been doing it since
1994 and Im pretty tired. It wont
be that soon, but sometime in the
future.
At the West Windsor campus,
MCCC offers associate degrees in
culinary arts and hotel, restau-
rant and institution manage-
ment, as well as several credit cer-
tificate programs. The credit pro-
gram in West Windsor has a stu-
dent restaurant that offers a gour-
met soup-to-nuts meal on desig-
nated days during each semester.

each of the campus courses, go to

Various culinary degrees offered at MCCC West Windsor campus
assured them that they would
have a say in the overall project.
This Council is united as far
as what we want to see achieved
on Cranbury Road, he said.
Weve made it clear to adminis-
tration that every option is on the
table. In order for us to make a
concerted analysis of whats
being put before us, we want
everything; we dont want the
scope of the RFP to be limited to
two or three items. We want
everything there so we can look at
it and make an objective interpre-
tation of what were seeing, but
more importantly, for everybody
to have an ability to look at it just
like we get to look at it.
Youre going to be part of that
process. There might be some
miscommunication between peo-
ple, but I can assure you that this
Council is united when it comes
to this issue, and we want to make
sure this gets accomplished soon-
er than later, he said.

ote them out office all of
them. That seems like an ap-
propriate response to the fed-
eral government shutdown that began
the first day of October and, as of this
writing, was still in effect.
Its pathetic. It truly is. We the peo-
ple of the United States of America
voted these people into Congress to
represent our best interests. But in the
name of their political party, and not
in the name of those who they repre-
sent, they have failed to reach agree-
ments to balance the nations budget
and decided to shut down.
As a result, more than 2 million fed-
eral workers will see their paychecks
delayed, and its possible that 800,000 of
those people might never get repaid.
That is because, of course, as is typical
with our government, the politicians
arent affected by their own decisions,
while those whom they represent
must bear the brunt of it all.
A government shutdown in reali-
ty isnt a complete closing of doors. By
law, certain agencies must operate
with unsalaried employees. That in-
cludes agencies that deal with nation-
al security and also those that manage
benefits such as Social Security pay-
ments. So, in effect, these people are
forced to work, with no pay, just be-
cause the politicians whom they chose
to represent them are deciding to play
party politics instead of coming to an
agreement for the good of the people.
This is just one example of how the
shutdown affects these politicians
constituents. The longer it drags on,
the worse it will get. Veterans may not
receive benefits. The Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention will halt
its flu program, right as flu season be-
gins. Small business financing could
be seriously damaged. And the list
goes on.
Politicians nowadays dont seem to
care about whats good for the people.
They only care about their own party
line whether it be Republican, Demo-
crat, Tea Party or otherwise. Thats
sad, and it negatively affects all of us.
So the only response we, as citizens,
can make is to vote them out of office.
Bring in new people who care about
the people they represent and not the
party to which they belong. Bring in
new people with new ideas who want
change and welcome compromise.
This partisan political culture we
live in needs to stop.
in our opinion
Partisan politics at its worst
The government shutdown is a disgrace

How is the political shutdown affecting
you, if at all? What are your thoughts on

Municipal tax rates have fallen
under Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh
I recently read claims that Mayor Hsueh
has raised taxes more than 130 percent
since taking office in 2001. The truth is the
tax rate has gone down slightly from 0.04
percent in 2001 to 0.038 percent in 2013. I
also read a post by Hemant Marathe that
the municipal budget increased 131 per-
cent from 2001 to 2013. This amount is un-
verified, and I believe it to be untrue, but if
the municipal budget did in fact increase
131 percent and the tax rate for West Wind-
sor residents has decreased, that sounds
like fantastic fiscal management to me.
Using an influx of quality business rata-
bles and securing funds other than West
Windsor resident taxes is ideal. And dur-
ing the same time period, West Windsor
has maintained an AAA bond rating and
has made many infrastructure improve-
ments. Imagine a corporation increasing
revenue and improving value and services
while charging customers less? What
shareholder wouldnt want a CEO capable
of doing that?
In many of the same posts, Ive seen
mention of the reduction in the school tax
rate. People should understand it was
Mayor Hsueh who was instrumental in re-
ducing the school tax rate. In 2007, Mayor
Hsueh successfully negotiated with Peter
Cantu (Plainsboro mayor) a change in the
formula of how West Windsor would pay
for its portion of school tax versus Plains-
boro. It took effect in 2009 and effectively
reduced the school tax burden for West
Windsor residents to this day.
Mr. Marathe has bragged about the
school budget, which increased by 40 per-
cent under his term as school board presi-
dent. To put that in context, that is almost
twice the entire municipal budget. If hes
going to take credit for the school budget
(voted on by the public, incidentally), then
perhaps he should take credit for the fact
that High School South dropped in the
rankings from 16th in 2010 to 62nd in 2012
and High School North dropped from 29th
in 2010 to 32nd in 2012 (New Jersey Month-

America Online ranked West
Windsor Township the No. 1
Town in America to Raise a Fami-
ly. As Anthony DeCarlo said so
perfectly, The past 10 years have
been a period of tremendous im-
provement in infrastructure;
youth sports facilities, senior cen-
ter improvements and a new arts
facility. All this coupled to one of
the best financial positions of any
township in the state.
Given that municipal tax rates
have fallen under Mayor Hsuehs
administration and West Windsor
continues to be a fantastically
successful full service town, I am
supporting the Moving Forward
Together team of Shing-Fu
Hsueh for mayor, Kamal Khanna

Marathe will help
enhance West Windsor
I had the special opportunity to
serve as superintendent of
schools of the West Windsor
Plainsboro Regional School Dis-
trict for four years. During three
of those years Hemant Marathe
was elected board president by
his fellow board members.
It is my observation that He-
mant was an exceptional board
president. He worked hard at the
job, helping the board function ef-
fectively. Hemant has many skills,
some of which were evident as he
appointed the board committees,
encouraged them to complete
their work and report back to the
total board for review and action.
The school district and its opera-
tion is a complex organization.
The board plays a crucial role in
its success. An exceptional board
president helps the board and the
school district do its job. Hemant
was that exceptional leader. He al-
ways trusted others to do their
job in a manner that represented
the best interests of the students
staff and community. His expec-
tation was that we would always
be able to verify our recommen-
dations and actions taken. He was
a strong leader who guided oth-
ers, without being dogmatic, and
listened for input from many
sides. At the appropriate time, he
was decisive.
I think our best leaders encour-
age input, listen carefully, build
consensus, if possible, and take
action. Hemant exemplified that
during my time as superintend-
ent.
Hemant cares deeply about the
community. He and his family
have developed firm roots and
good friends.
The wonderful people of West
Windsor have certainly not
moved to the community because
of its beaches. It is due to excep-
tional schools, availability of
transportation and a community
always striving to be better. He-
mant will help enhance all of that
and much more. He will be an ex-
cellent mayor.

Vote Moving Forward
Together team Nov. 5
I am a resident of West Wind-
sor for 32 years, and am writing to
support the Moving Forward
Together team in the coming up
November election of the town-
ship officials.
To be honest, we chose to settle
in West Windsor 32 years ago not
only because of the excellent
schools, but also because of other
overall good quality amenities of-
fered by the community. While
recognizing the service records of
Mr. Marathe in the West Windsor-
Plainsboro School Board, I be-
lieve the high reputation of our
school system existed long before
Mr. Marathe took over the school
board presidency.
Over the years living in West
Windsor, I volunteered to serve on
various township committees
and have had the privilege of
working with Mayor Hsueh,
members of various committees,
and some township employees
and consultants. During the
course of these services, I found
Hsueh, with his past career with
the state government, is highly
capable and efficient in commu-
nicating local issues in West
Windsor with state officials or
even our elected representative in
congress which led to the success-
ful completion of various safety
and environmental pollution con-
trol related projects, such as the
construction of the Alexander
Bridge/roundabout, cleaning of
the Grovers Mill Pond, just to
name a few. Under his tenure in
the past 12 years, he also accom-
plished various community-ori-
ented historical, cultural and
open space preservation projects.
In my opinion, with the check
and balance of the township
council in the past, Mayor Hsueh
has led the township in the right
direction.
Although Mayor Hsueh has
helped make West Windsor a bet-
ter place to live, there are some
who may not be satisfied with
where we are today. With the re-
election of Shing-fu Hsueh as
next mayor and Mr. Kamal Khan-
na continuing to serve in the
Council, as well as election of Mr.
Eric Payne as a Council member,
I believe the team will be able to
help make West Windsor an even

better place to live for all of us.
Lets vote for the Moving For-
ward Together team on Nov. 5.

Vote for Hsueh, Khanna,
Payne this November
Building a vibrant community
and keeping it moving forward is
hard work. It requires ongoing
commitment and constant align-
ment with the needs of the com-
munity. Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh
has amply measured up to this
task. He and his running mates,
Councilman Kamal Khanna and
Eric Payne, who is seeking elec-
tion to the council, are committed
to making the West Windsor com-
munity a friendly place to live,
work and play. Most of us who
live in West Windsor know the
mayor well and are aware of the
many contributions he has made
during the past 12 years. Married
with two children, he has been a
resident of the township for more
than 28 years. He is a professional
engineer and planner and has
been a board member of several
New Jersey state committees.
Under his leadership, West Wind-
sor has achieved leading status at
the state and national level. West
Windsor is the first town in the
state to be recognized as Green
Town USA. Working with differ-
ent levels of government and pri-
vate institutions, he has success-
fully obtained commitment for
more than $108 million of fund-
ing to reduce the burden on tax-
payers. His prudent management
of the township funds has earned
the community an AAA bond rat-
ing. Additionally, he has im-
proved the infrastructure of the
township by completing the con-
struction of the Alexander
Bridge and the restoration of the
Grovers Mill Pond. His vision for
the future is to maintain a strong
financial foundation, continue to
improve the infrastructure and
focus on attracting high tech com-
panies and research institutions
while maintaining the ranking of
the Most Family Friendly Munic-
ipality.
Khanna, the mayors running
mate, has been a resident of West
Windsor for more than 35 years.
He has been a member of the
council since 2009 and has served
as the president of the council for
two consecutive years. He brings
to the council a solid business
management background and a
proven track record of stable
taxes. He has also served as mem-
ber/liaison of the Zoning Board,
Affordable Housing, Planning
Board and other township com-
mittees. His business experience
has been a great asset in making
the running of the West Windsor
government more effective and ef-
ficient.
Payne is a fourth-generation
resident. He has played a leader-
ship role as the founder of Smart
Traffic Solutions. As a former air-
line pilot, he understands the
meaning of making decisions
under pressure and to collaborate
with his colleagues to resolve is-
sues in an efficient manner.
Together, Mayor Shing-Fu
Hsueh, Councilman Kamal Khan-
na and Eric Payne bring a high
level of experience and diversity
to the township. A vote for them
will be a vote to keep West Wind-
sor moving forward and will as-
sure that the best days of our
community are ahead of us.

Mayor Hsueh gets things
done in township
I moved to West Windsor in
1999 to be close to my family and
enjoy my grandchildren growing
up. I did not realize at that time
that this choice was much more
fulfilling. I became acquainted
with many of the wonderful peo-
ple that live here, one being our
present Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh.
My quality and enjoyment of life
improved tremendously. I learned
Tai Chi, as taught by Mayor
Hsueh, met many interesting peo-
ple and joined the improved sen-
ior center, a particular focus of
the mayors efforts. I keep very
busy there, taking computer
classes, chair exercises, music ap-
preciation, lectures and attend
many more of their programs. I
also enjoy growing Jersey Fresh
veggies in the West Windsor Com-
munity Garden nearby.
Safety and security was anoth-
er issue, especially driving. The
infrastructure improvements
that this mayor has obtained for
the township are unprecedented.
Many intersections have been
made safer Clarksville and
North Post roads, three intersec-
tions on Meadow Road from
Clarksville Road to the most re-
cently, Canal Point Boulevard,
Old Trenton Road and Village
Road East and more, phenome-
nal. Restriping the roadways has
also helped. The security in West
Windsor is very satisfactory, due
to the efficient and technically ad-
vanced police force. Our
crime rate is low. I feel safe living
here.
We now can fish in the Grovers
Mill Pond. The mayor got the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to
dredge it and restock it with fish.
The awful smell is gone from the
neighborhood. This accomplish-
ment was due to the mayors on-
going positive relationships with
county, state and federal agencies,
saving us tax dollars. He has done
that also with the jug handle
issue on Route 1, connecting with
the DOT commissioner.
This mayor gets things done.
His track record is impressive. To
get more details, I suggest you
Google Moving Forward Togeth-
er and especially click on the
Gallery where you can see it in
pictures.
I recommend you vote for the
West Windsor Moving Forward
Together team of Mayor Shinh-
Fu Hsueh, Councilman Kamal
Khanna and Council Candidate
Eric Payne on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
