East Windsor honors its top employees By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Three East Windsor Township employees - a police officer and one support staffer each in the Construction Department and the Department of Public Works - were honored as the 2017 Employees of the Year by Mayor Janice S. Mironov. The Employee of the Year award is an opportunity to recognize people in the East Windsor Township family who have worked hard and are considered to be outstanding members of the team, Mayor Mironov said. Nominations for the Employee of the Year in the Administration, Public Works and Law and Public Safety units are made by the employees, Mayor Mironov said, adding that “(East Windsor Township) is very fortunate to have so many excellent employees. We are grateful to them for doing a great job.” One of those employees is Susan Protonentis, whose first job in East Windsor Township was a part-time position in the Recreation Department, Mayor Mironov said. She was soon hired as the full-time technical assistant to the Construction Official. She has since earned professional certification in that position. Protonentis “stepped into the position” and has done an outstanding job in a very busy office, handling a difficult assignment, Mayor Mironov said. Her colleagues say she has done an excellent job and that is why they nominated her, she said. “Anyone who knows East Windsor Township knows that there is a whole lot going on in the Construction Department,” Mayor Mironov said. “It is a very busy department. There has been a building boom in the last two or three years, and there is tremendous activity. The telephone rings off the hook.” Protonentis is in the “front line” in the Construction Department when contractors or residents visit the office, Mayor Mironov said. Sometimes, visitors raise simple questions or may just need a permit. Protonentis tries very hard to help them. Over in the Department of Public Works, Anna Eaves was the choice for the Employee of the Year. She is the administrative assistant in the department, which is a key department in the township. Eaves is always seeking to de-

She has taken on additional responsibilities, such as organizing Recycling Day events and helping to plan the annual Adopt-A-Spot wrap-up event. “Anna has really grown into the position,” Mayor Mironov said. Eaves said that she works for the “best department” in East Windsor Township municipal
government. “Anytime I need help, I’m lucky. No one tells me they are too busy to help. It really is a team and I am glad to be part of it,” Eaves said. The Police Officer of the Year is Detective Phillip Melhorn. He began his career in the East Windsor Township Police Department as a patrol officer, and was promoted to detective last year. As he progressed in his career,
Detective Melhorn was trained as an evidence technician and also served as a field training officer for new police officers. He has displayed a positive attitude and is very knowledgeable, Mayor Mironov said. “Detective Melhorn is a role model for younger officers. It is special when someone shows the qualities to become a role model,” Mayor Mironov said, adding that “it speaks volumes” that he has

matured into an outstanding police officer and is someone that other police officers seek to emulate. “It is really rewarding to watch a young police officer go down the path and improve his skills,” Mayor Mironov said. “I had the opportunity to watch Detective Melhorn progress, and it is really satisfying. He is very level-headed and professional in approaching the issues.”

East Windsor taking nominations for Weiss award By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
At a time in their lives when they could be traveling or enjoying the grandchildren, some senior citizens have opted instead to volunteer their time and expertise. Mayor Janice S. Mironov and Township Council be-
lieve there is at least one East Windsor Township senior citizen who is doing so, and they want to honor that person with the Sylvia Weiss Senior Citizen Award for Outstanding Service as a Volunteer. Mayor Mironov and Township Council are accepting nominations for the annual award, which will be
presented during a ceremony in May in conjunction with Older Citizens Month. The deadline to apply is April 12. “The award recognizes a senior citizen who has exhibited outstanding service through volunteerism to the community by way of the schools, religious institutions, service organizations or directly to the public,” Mayor Mironov said.
The late Sylvia Weiss, for whom the award is named, was instrumental in forming the township’s senior citizens program. She served on Township Council and chaired the New Jersey Commission on Aging. The award was established after Weiss’ death as a means to honor her legacy. Weiss, who moved to East Windsor Township in 1972, was 101 years old when she
died in 2016. Nominees must be at least 60 years old and live in East Windsor Township. Their service - in leadership or direct service - may be on behalf of senior citizens, the schools, churches, service organizations or the general public. A nomination form is available on the township website at www.east-windsor.nj.us or by contacting
the Municipal Clerk’s Office at 609-443-4000, ext. 237. The completed form should be mailed to Sylvia Weiss Senior Volunteer Award, attn.: Mayor Janice Mironov and Council Members, East Windsor Municipal Building, 16 Lanning Boulevard, East Windsor, NJ, 08520.

MERCER COUNTY NOTES County seeks help with location of potholes
Mercer County takes pothole repairs seriously. While crews regularly patrol our roadways, they simply cannot locate every pothole. That’s why we are asking for your help. If you see a pothole on a Mercer County roadway, report its location to the county dispatcher by calling 609-530-7510, providing specific information about the location of the pothole including helpful landmarks, travel lane direction, adjacent addresses and any information that could assist the county in locating and repairing the pothole. If you are not certain the road in question is maintained by the Roads Unit, refer to our County Routes and Roadways webpage for listings by municipality: http:// www.mercercounty.org/ departments/ transportation-and-infrastructure/highwaydivision/county-routes-and- roadways.
