PRINCETON Jim Cordiano, who served in the Navy from 1967 to 1970 aboard the USS John F. Kennedy doing air traffic control aboard the aircraft carrier, was recently surprised with a gift in honor of his military service.

Now living in Robbinsville with his wife Sandra of 44 years, the 70-year-old veteran said they finally decided to hire a professional to clean the windows, a chore theyd been doing themselves for years.

He said, "We saw an ad for Window Genie and thought why not try them out. While on the phone, Robin (the owner) said they offered 25 percent off to veterans, which we thought was great. It wasnt until it came time for me to pay when she surprised us and told us the cleaning was on her. It blew my mind. I thought she was kidding."

On Thursday, Sept. 11, Robin McKenna, of Belle Mead, and her team at Window Genie of Princeton surprised the local Vietnam War era veteran with a free window cleaning at his home. Ms. McKenna said she and her staff are dedicated to giving back and keeping an active presence in the community because, "it gives us a chance to connect with the people in our hometown."

"I told him we offer discounts to veterans, which we do but since his appointment was on Sept. 11 I felt it was only right to tell him this ones on me," Ms. Mckenna said.

"Im a born and bred Jersey girl and always knew when I opened this business that Id continue finding ways to give back and grow the business through meaningful customer relationships," Ms. McKenna said. "When I learned Jim was a veteran I couldnt wait to surprise his family with a free cleaning. Its the very least we can do to say thank you for his service."

As far as how the cleaning service was, Mr. Cordiano said, "I like the results. Window Genie has a very satisfied customer. The team finished our house in less than three hours...Ive already handed out some business cards to neighbors because I want to help a business that deserves it."

This isnt the first time Window Genie honored a veteran.

"In the spirit of Memorial Day a few months ago, we offered a free cleaning to another local Vietnam War era veteran," Ms. McKenna said. "This customer had Window Genie out to his home to clean some windows on his patio because he was planning a surprise birthday party for his wife. Upon learning about this mans military service, and knowing how special the party was that he was planning for his wife, we were touched. We were happy to tell him thered be no bill this time. We do this to show our gratitude and build a relationship with customers that lets them know we care about them and are truly appreciative of their military service. Were not just a window cleaning business, were here to make a difference in the community whether its by sprucing up someones home or making their day a little brighter with the gift of a free cleaning."

Window Genie is a locally owned and operated home service franchise specializing in window cleaning, window tinting, pressure washing, gutter cleaning and more. Ms. McKenna is the owner and her business serves the central New Jersey areas surrounding greater Princeton as well as Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

A RALLY will be held in Hamilton today as the national campaign to retain the federal renewable energy target (RET) gathers momentum.

A RALLY will be held in Hamilton today as the national campaign to retain the federal renewable energy target (RET) gathers momentum.

Portland wind turbine tower manufacturer Keppel Prince believes the campaign is making headway and the RET will be retained in some form.

Keppel Prince general manager Steve Garner said he had taken heart from media reports that federal industry minister Ian Farlane was willing to negotiate with Labor for a RET but at a lower target.

I am cautiously optimistic based on minister McFarlanes comments so far, Mr Garner said.

He said between 100-130 jobs at Keppel Prince were at risk if the RET was scrapped. Concerns about the future of the RET escalated last month after a report to the federal government recommended the target be abolished. Keppel Prince workers will be among those at todays midday rally in front of the Hamilton Performing Arts Centre.

Also taking part will be Merino electrician Ricky Lane, who said scrapping the RET would force him to drastically reduce the hours of an employee who works in renewable energy.

Mr Lane said solar energy had brought jobs and investment to the south-west and the government should be getting behind it, not trying to shut it down.

Todays rally has been organised by an alliance involving Solar Citizens, the Clean Energy Council, Australian Solar Council, the Solar Energy Industries Association and the Australian Wind Alliance.

Supporters rally for the RET in Hamilton

You know things are bad in Ukraine when even people who risk radiation poisoning for a living decide the countrys too depressing to live in anymore.

For most of their adult lives, Andrey and Marina Komelkov were happy working in the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation because their jobs at the nuclear cleanup site paid well. But then the war with pro-Russian separatists started hundreds of miles to the east and they became convinced the countrys corruption-fed cycle of economic and political crises will never end.

So, determined to give their daughter a better life, they piled into their battered Russian-made minivan last month and moved to the dictatorship across the border: Belarus, said Andrey, 39. If the couple feels at home in their new village, thats because it was built, like their previous apartment in Ukraine, just outside the Chernobyl radiation zone to relocate residents of the region after the reactor meltdown in 1986.

We really like the stability in Belarus, Andrey said in an interview in Masty, 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of Belaruss capital Minsk and 300 kilometers north of the Ukrainian capital Kiev. Some people call President Lukashenko a dictator, but how would he manage people without being one? said Andrey, who was born in Russia and blames anti-government protesters in Kiev for unleashing the latest round of chaos.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, center, gestures next to Russia's President Vladimir Putin, left, and Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko as they meet in Minsk on Aug. 26. Lukashenko, in power more than 20 years and shunned by the U.S. and the European Union, is seeking to position himself as regional peace broker to help end the worst standoff between Russia and its former Cold War foes in decades.

Lukashenko, in power more than 20 years and shunned by the U.S. and the European Union, is positioning himself as a peace broker to help end the worst standoff between Russia and its former Cold War foes in decades. Hes hosted talks between the belligerents in Ukraine twice this month, including the one in Minsk that led to a cease-fire on Sept. 5.

Officials in Belarus, a country of 9.5 million people, say more than 3,000 Ukrainians have arrived since Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea in March and Lukashenko, 60, said his brotherly arms are open to fellow Slavs seeking to escape the ensuing war. The conflict has claimed more than 3,500 lives and driven what the United Nations says is at least 615,000 people from their homes, about 340,000 of whom have fled the country, mostly to nearby Russia.

Suspect in driveway paving scam has day in court

Paving of the east side of Carpenter Road is scheduled to begin today, Sept. 25, and will limit driveway access to the east side of the road while the concrete pavement is being placed.

The east side of the northbound lane will be paved Thursday and, depending on the weather, paving of the outside lanes is scheduled for the remainder of the week. Paving will begin at the Washtenaw Avenue intersection and continue south to the Packard Road intersection.

Once that process is complete, the contractor is scheduled to begin work on the concrete curb and gutter, driveways and the sidewalk.

Earlier this month, work on the five-lane road was shifted as the west side of the road was paved and the project entered stage two. Construction of the road has left one lane open in both directions.

Lane closures remain the same for the project and an alternate route for traffic is suggested using Packard Road, Golfside Road, and Washtenaw Avenue.

The project began late after a mix-up in paperwork delayed the start of construction. The project is expected to last until November.
