FIRE TRUCK ORDINANCE
At Monday’s Hightstown Council meeting, bond ordi nance 1997-26 authorizing and appropriating $350,000 for the purpose of a new fire truck will come up for second reading and adoption. The truck is needed to replace a truck that is over 25 years old and needs to be replaced. Hightstown Co. No.1 is made up of volunteers who have dedicated their time and effort to the safety of this town and its inhabitants. This company has won many awards and have an excellent record around the state. There are some members on council who are against the purchase of this fire truck. One member has stated the company should depend upon East Windsor fire compa nies more. There is excellent mutual aid between the two commu nities. But Hightstown Engine Co. is right here AND CAN REACH LOCAL FIRES MORE EASILY AND FASTER THAN ANY OUTSIDE COMPANY, NO MATER HOW GOOD THEY ARE. If you have a fire, you want aid fast and FAST IS THE WORD FOR Hightstown ENGINE CO. NO. 1 Suppose the town had to pay fire fighters, that would be very costly. The town would have to pay fighters 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and with all benefits.

It looks as though the branch may be open before the end of October, but no one has set a firm date yet. The new entrance on Franklin Street will be handi capped accessible, and there is a hose spigot near the War Memorial allowing the flower bed there to be watered more easily. These are only a few of the changes in store for patrons of the brick structure which the County has taken gone to great lengths to expand at this limited site while keeping the build ing’s original character. The old children’s section which looked out over the lake has been expanded, with the partition walls at either end removed so that the room now extends all the way to include the old magazine room as well as the old community room.

Now the Jamesway sign on the building is gone, and within the last low days the sign at the mall entrance has been stripped almost bare, possibly leading motorists to suspect that the mall is empty. “Now it looks like nobody's here" lamented Michelle Caponi of Michelle's Country Kitchen. "It’s so sad.” The banner advertising the Hast Windsor Cinema (the original marquee blew down in the spring and has yet to be replaced) is also gone. Frank Scarpaci. owner of Attitudes Hair and Nail Design, in business for 25 years as of this coming October 3rd, says "We’re all wondering why" the sign was taken down, adding "They never let the peons know anything."

The leasing agent for the owner, Ralph Richards, stressed that they were actively pursuing a prospective lessor for the retail space, a regional store similar to Caldor’s or Kmart, but he would not release the name lor publication. Me also indicated that the person in charge of maintenance was on vacation. The rundown look of the mall is in marked contrast to the work going a little farther north across route 130, at the site of the soon to be completed Town Center Plaza. Three of the current tenants in the mall confirmed that they intend to move across Route 130 to the new Town Center Plaza in February or March: Marty’s SIkk' Outlet, Dress Bam, and Pickwick "Village. Michael Lukowitsky, owner of Pickwick Village, in business there for 25 years, indicated that he was anxious to move: “We pay high maintenance and there is little to show for it.” Pointing to the now bare sign at the mail’s entrance, he added that the mall has deteriorated steadily over the past 25 years, and that his maintenance costs will be lower in the new location. The new Town Center Plaza will house a new, greatly expanded ShopRite, as well as a 12 screen first run theater and video arcade, a first for the area. The departure of ShopRite from the property adjacent to the “Jamesway mall” (as it was often known) is bound to have an impact on remaining merchants. Many of the merchants at the East Windsor Town Center mall estimated that Jamesway’s closing cost them between 20-25% in reduced sales. For some there was no impact. Patty Kaplan of the Fashion Bug said that counter to expectations their business actually went up, possibly due to a lack of competition in the area. They added a men’s department and last year’s business was up about 20% over 1995. Charlie lucolino of Mr. B’s Pizza (in business for 25 years) was more sanguine: “I would be lying if I told you it wasn’t lough.” But he plans to slick it out. hopeful that a new anchor tenant in the Jamesway location will bring in business: “Tell them Mr. B’s stays here” he says. East Windsor has three major multi-tenant malls, each one advertising itself as the “center”: The Windsor Mights Center, recently renovated and awaiting a new Staples store and an expanded Super Fresh; the ailing East Windsor Town Center; and the soon to be completed Town Center Plaza. Merc is how the “center” malls compare as to acreage, assessments, and total taxes to be paid for the 1997 tax year;
ACRES ASSESSMENT TAXES Windsor Mights Center 16.173 $6,152,000 $203,385.12 East Windsor Town Center 12.3 $9,200,000 $304,152.00 Town Center Plaza * 35.54 $3,554,000 $114,495.24
*NOTE: Town Center Plaza’s assessment reflects only the land value, since the improvements are not yet complete. A partial assessment may be made for this year if the mall is completed before the end of the tax year.
The old Jamesway store (above) Is now nameless, as is the sign at the entrance to the Hast Windsor Town Center which now is completely bare. Michael Lukowitsky (above center) of Pickwick Village thinks the condition of the sign is reflective of the mall’s deterioration over the last 25 years, and is moving across the street early in 1998. At the Fashion Bug (upper left), however, assistant manager Alice Camejo and manager Patty Kaplan say business has Improved even in Jamesway’s absence, and they plan to stay. Charlie lucolino (left) of Mr. B’s Pizza says “Tell them Mr. B’s stays here” at the old Jamesway mall. Meanwhile, the new Town Center Plaza may ojien before year-end. Above is the main entrance to the new ShopRite at the Town Center Plaza. Photos and story by Curtis Crowell Page 6 THE HIGHTSTOWN GAZETTE Thursday, October 2,1997
