Community comes together for student

By HEATHER FIOREThe West Windsor Sun

Sept. 19 will go down in the his-tory books at High School Southas a landmark, as hundreds of

students and community mem-bers came out to the schools var-sity boys soccer game to Play forJuan, a special game dedicatedto one of the teams players whowas recently diagnosed with can-cer.

Juan Pena-Velasquez, a juniorat HSS, was diagnosed with Os-teosarcoma the most commonhistological form of primarybone cancer in his humerus in

June about two weeks beforeschool ended last year.

Its common mostly inteenagers, he said. Basically, it

happens when the person growstoo fast. The cells in the bonesstart going crazy and start mak-ing mistakes, which is when the

bad cells start growing. Some peo-ple lose their limbs and othersdont.

It all started with progressivelyworsening pains in his arms,when Pena-Velasquez thought he

just pulled a muscle while work-ing out.

When he went to the doctor toget it checked out, they recom-mended him to St. ChristophersChildrens Hospital in Philadel-phia, where soon after, he learned

it was cancer.Since then, Pena-Valesquez has

been enduring several sessions ofchemotherapy each week, whichhave shown positive results, hesaid.

It's going good, he said. Itshard, but the doctors are tellingme the tumor is reducing. It's notthat bad, so that's good enough for

The Hearing Loss Associationof America is hosting its 6th an-nual Garden State-NJ Walk4Hear-

ing on Sunday, Oct. 20 at MercerCounty Park West in West Wind-sor.

The goal of the walk is to raiseawareness about hearing loss,while also raising funds for advo-cacy and critical programs andservices offered by the HLAA, ac-cording to Suzanne DAmico,northeast region Walk4Hearingcoordinator.

Its really a day of fun, shesaid. We're there to make money,but we also want to raise aware-ness and have a good time.

To make it a day of fun, theHLAA incorporates a variety ofchildrens activities, includingface painting and bouncy houses,as well as giveaways and prizes.

Candy, popcorn and refresh-ments will also be served, alongwith a full breakfast before thewalk and a picnic lunch after thewalk.

The 5K Walk (3.1 miles) beginsat 11 a.m., with check-in at 10 a.m.The walk will feature state-of-the-art hearing technology, includingcaptioned walk announcementsdelivered via smartphones.

Last year, the walk drew about600 people, a 50 percent increasefrom the prior year, DAmicosaid.

Were already seeing an in-crease this year, she said. Weraised $68,000 last year. Our goalis $75,000 this year, and weve al-ready raised 33 percent of that, soI dont anticipate us not reachingour goal.

The Walk4Hearing was createdin 2006 by the HLAA to raiseawareness about hearing loss as apublic health concern and toeradicate the stigma associatedwith it. Hundreds of walkers par-ticipate so that people of all agescan get the programs, supportand services they need to meetthe challenges of hearing loss.

Individual walkers and teamsinclude families, friends, co-work-

New Jersey residents are rich.

Really rich. Were the second-

richest state in the nation, be-

hind only those people two states to

the south in Maryland.

The median household income for

New Jersey residents is $69,667. Thats

pretty good news.

The bad news: That number is

boosted in large part by the states

ridiculously wealthy families. More

than 11 percent of families here have

an income of more than $200,000 per

year.

On the surface, the Garden States

ranking of No. 2 on the list of wealthi-

est states, compiled by 24/7 Wall St., is

a positive sign to our economys health

and future prospects. Dig deeper,

though, and youll see a much differ-

ent story.

New Jerseys unemployment rate

was 9.5 percent in 2012, one of the

worst in the country. The national av-erage was 8.1 percent. The state above

us on the rich list, Maryland, had a

low unemployment rate of 6.8 percent,

for example. Even worse, the number

of people on food stamps increased

from 8 percent in 2011 to 9.3 percent in

2012.

That is not good news.

Still, our outlook is getting better. As

of August, New Jerseys unemploy-

ment rate was 8.5 percent, according

to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Thats the lowest mark since March

2009, when it was 8.3 percent. It also

closed the gap between the national

unemployment rate, which sat at 7.3

percent in August.

But New Jersey needs to help busi-

nesses create more jobs. While the

state gained 60,300 jobs in the past 12

months, it lost 1,500 in August. From

July to August, more than 12,000 work-

ers stopped looking for work and left

the workforce.

Thats not good, either.

Gov. Christie recently revamped the

states business tax breaks in an effort

to add more jobs, but how effective

that will be might take time to tell. Its

a good first step, as any incentive to

add more jobs is a positive step, as

long as the state isnt digging a deeper

debt hole.

The bottom line is our workers need

more jobs because the fact is that,

while a small percentage of New Jer-

sey families are rich, most are still

struggling.

in our opinion

Were rich!!Well, at least some people are

Your thoughts

What, if anything, should our stategovernment do to incentivize businessesto add more jobs?

Hsueh, Khanna, Payne willmove West Windsor forwardThank you, Mayor Hsueh, for your long-

held vision for West Windsors fiscal, envi-ronmental and social well being; your lead-ership and perseverance over the pastyears for achieving these visions; your con-tinued commitment to these visions asyour goals for West Windsors future; yourdecision to dedicate the next four years asmayor to making these visions a reality;your judgment in forming the best possibleteam to accomplish these visions Kamal

Khanna, council member since 2009,whose voice of reasoned judgment hasalways balanced voices of destructive di-visiveness during council meetings; andEric Payne, a fourth-generation WestWindsor resident, who will bring to coun-

cil added know-how and support for resi-dents issues, such as traffic and trans-portation; and your benefit to West Wind-sor for securing funding for infrastructureimprovements because of your past posi-tions and contacts in county, state and fed-eral governments.

We feel strongly that Mayor Hsueh,Kamal Khanna and Eric Payne will contin-ue to move West Windsor forward togetherfor the benefit of all residents.

Louisa Ho will do what is bestfor West Windsor schools

I am writing to express my support of

Louisa Ho for School Board representativefor West Windsor.I first met Louisa more than 10 years ago

when we were both serving on the districtscholarship committee, have worked withher on booster club and post-prom activi-ties, and observed her leadership in Scout-ing for years. Louisa brings her intelli-gence, organizational ability and creativityto all she does.

It is clear in reading her bio that Louisais well qualified for the position. She hasan engineering degree from MIT, 15 yearsof business management experience and a

good understanding of the school district.But, the quality that I feel is most impor-

Beyondher perspective as a parent, shehas developed an understandingof the district as a volunteer ontwo School Board ad hoc commit-tees in the past few years. Overthe past five months, as an ap-

pointed member of the board,Louisa has demonstrated a com-mitment to learning all she can inorder to make the best decisionsfor all. Louisa is one of those peo-ple who volunteers not for whatshe can get out of it but for whatshe can give back. I am glad shehas chosen to share her manyskills with the school district. Iencourage you to join me in vot-ing for Louisa Ho for SchoolBoard on Nov. 5.

Former WW-P School Boardmember

Hemant Marathe hasproven leadership ability

We have lived in West Windsor

since 1998 and have known He-mant Marathe for almost that en-tire time.

Beginning when our now-adultdaughters were friends and class-

mates in grade school, and con-tinuing as our younger child hasprogressed through the WW-PSchool District, we have wit-nessed and appreciated Hemantscommitment to our school com-munity. As our youngest prepareshis college applications, the out-standing national reputation ofthe WW-P School District is a di-rect reflection of Hemants lead-ership skills and dedication bothas a member of the Board of Edu-

cation and as its president fornine of his 12 years on theboard.

One concrete example of He-mants foresight and leadership ishis support for the successful andrecently completed initiative toinstall lights at the districts highschool athletic fields. As boardpresident, Hemant supported theeffort headed by West Windsorresidents Patrick Boyle andManny Efstathios to install state-of-the-art athletic lighting at

South and North at absolutelyzero cost to the communitys tax-payers. In the short time nowsince the installations have beencompleted, we can tell you theyare a resounding success. To thebenefit of both the student body

and taxpayers, full efficiency cannow be obtained from the Astro-turf fields as practices do nothave to end at dusk. Friday nightgames are now a reality and are a

wonderful, family-oriented activi-ty.

Hemant Marathe has proventime and again his leadershipabilities as WW-P Board of Edu-cation president. He has earnedyour support to be the next WestWindsor mayor. It is time for achange we urge you to cast yourvote for Hemant Marathe and histeam on Nov. 5.

Township needs new,proactive leadershipMayor Shing-Fu Hsueh needs

to step aside and let some newblood take the township forward.I feel that several serious actions(or lack of) indicate poor judg-ment on his part, contrary to hisclaims.

Most notable is the solar farmthat was built on open spacelands next to the Mercer CountyCommunity College over the ob-

jections of the local residents andfor which the taxpayers havetaken on the financial responsi-bility. It is a blight on the land-scape, which the area residentsprotested vehemently to no effect.It is heading to be a financially

unsustainable project due to thedrop in revenue from sales ofelectricity in a falling market.Taxpayers will bear the burden ofany shortfall in revenue.

The Grover Farm is a sad storyof government inaction, inepti-tude or worse. How can he haveallowed a viable farmhouse to fallinto such disrepair that it willhave to be torn down? It couldhave been leased and generatedrevenue, but was allowed to be-come a financial burden instead.This is government at its worst.

Our township needs new,proactive leadership, notthe same old inaction and inepti-

tude. J. Thomas Boyer

Mayor Hseuh knows howto get things done

We have a vibrant townshipand it is just getting better.

Under Mayor Hsuehs leader-ship, we have seen great improve-ments. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, I at-tended the ribbon cutting for theWest Windsor History Museum atthe Schenck Farmstead. It was

another clear exampleof why we need to reelect ourmayor and why our township con-tinues to make great improve-ments.

This mayor knows how to getthings done. He knows what is

important, how to work with alllevels of government and he lis-tens to residents to address theirconcerns and issues. He providessteady, professional, financially

responsible leadership.Listed below area some accom-

plishments that the mayor hasbeen an initiator, a sponsor or asupporter of our triple A Bondrating, stable municipal taxes,and well functioning govern-ment; the Farmers Market; thetransformation and redevelop-ment of our downtown Route 571with new businesses in the Wind-sor Plaza, Rite-Aid and theplanned improvements for the

Ellsworth Center; the Arts Coun-cil; the Senior Center; the addi-tional parking for West Windsorresidents at the train station; theWest Windsor History Museum atthe Schenck Farmstead; town-ship-wide infrastructure im-provements, including AlexanderRoad Bridge and Meadow Road;vision of sensible redevelopmentand long-range planning for WestWindsor; and attracting morebusinesses, such as Black Rockand Otsuka Pharmacy to the

town.With all the above, the mayor

and his team still have muchmore to accomplish. We can trulybecome one of the best townshipsin the state and the country.

me.Because of his success through

one of the most grueling aspectsof cancer recovery, Pena-Ve-lasquez is now preparing for sur-gery to remove the remainingtumor in his bone and replaceit with metal, which will hopeful-ly rid him of the cancer indefi-nitely.

I'm thinking pretty positive ofeverything. My surgery should bewithin the next couple of weeks,he said. There's this kid in thehospital that has the same thingas me, and I talked to his parents

because he just got surgery theother day, and he's OK. He's talk-ing, he's awake and he's beengreat.

While Pena-Velasquez has beengoing through the strife of cancerfor the last four months, his team-mates, schoolmates, teachers,coaches and doctors have all beensupportive, he said.

I have several oncologists atSt. Christophers, but my primarydoctor is Dr. Gregory Halligan.Everything is perfect, and every-body is great over there, he said.Mr. Fisher [coach of varsity soc-

cer team] keeps checking in allthe time, too.

Rodrigo Trevino, Pena-Ve-lasquez best friend and fellowteammate, gave a speech at thePlay for Juan game, stating that

hes one of the best people heknows.

He means a lot to differentpeople, but to me and a bunch ofother guys, hes like our brother,he said. And like those of youwith siblings know, its hard to

just stand by as your brother orsister struggles from somethinglike cancer. Its events like thiswhere we all come together as aschool that defines character. Andall I can say is that Im proud to bepart of the Pirate family. We allplay soccer for different reasons,but tonight, we play for Juan.

Varsity soccer coach BryanFisher also lent homage to Pena-Velasquez, while handing over a$3,000 donation check, accruedfrom the sale of Play for Juan t-shirts and wristbands in school

and at the game.This is a wonderful night, he

said as he had everyone in thebleachers at the game stand.Were all going to be with youevery step of the way in yourfight and we love you.

Pena-Velasquez said the game,a 2-1 victory for HSS, uplifted himduring this time in his life, whichis exactly what he needed.

The game was amazing. Ithelped me a lot and the team alsomade me think more positively,he said. It was a really specialnight and a really emotional

night. I wore the team shirt formy last chemo session, and quitefrankly, I wear it everyday. Theteam gave me a big push forward.Those guys mean everything tome.
