Monroe - The township hopes a green initiative will encourage more residents to consider investing in eco-friendly driving options, such as hybrid or all-electric vehicles, it said recently as it unveiled its first-ever electric car charging station.
During the annual community Green Fair, Cooper Electric donated 240-volt charging equipment for the station, which is municipally operated and maintained.
The township chose to install the station on library grounds.
Why the library?
“The library is a prime location for several reasons,” said Monroe’s mayor, Gerald W. Tamburro. "It’s centrally located in the Township.”
Safety also “weighed heavily” into the decision he added.
Moreover, the library sits adjacent to police headquarters and the parking lot is well lit.
Recently, a few other charging stations have cropped up on local roads in nearby communities like East Windsor, South Brunswick and Old Bridge, but are “still few and far between," noted township representativeour site has become a link within the county’s growing chain of stations,” Monroe Council President, Steve Dalina, said.
"Monroe is doing its part to help reduce carbon emissions.”
Local advocates have also begun the process of registering Monroe’s station with The U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, a division that acts as a resource to help residents and commuters find alternative fueling stations along traveled routes.
Karen Polidoro, Chairwoman of Monroe’s Environmental Commission, said that if the station catches on, the township would consider more stations in the future.
The station is slated to attain "Silver Certification" by Sustainable New Jersey, an organization that provides tools, training and financial incentives to green communities.
Monroe’s electric car charging station is marked by a large green logo; you will find it in the exterior section of the library parking lot located at, 4 Municipal Plaza.
New Jersey is projecting over 2 million electric cars on the road within the next 20 years.

Cedar Grove - Andrew J. Renda, of “Renda & Voynick,” a law firm that really wants to help you.
Renda and his partner, John S. Voynick, have virtually redefined the meaning of individual attention in personal injury law.
They are known for going beyond, and winning.
While anyone can say, “clients come first,” the two work with you closely and are there to support you in times of crises.
They do not delegate to paralegals or associates who work under them. Clients always work with an experienced personal injury trial attorney.
While they have been approached several times about merging with larger firms, they have repeatedly declined, said Renda, who formed the partnership nearly three decades ago with Voynick.
As certified civil trial attorneys, the firm leverages nearly 60-years of combined litigation experience.
The two gained invaluable experience defending large insurance and Fortune 500 companies prior to going out on their own.
This gave them an important knowledge base to draw from. They asked: “How are personal injury cases are defended by the other side?”
In short, it instilled a desire to represent the “David’s” against the corporate “Goliaths” of the world, they said.
“We are not afraid to stand up to the insurance industry, and we have done so successfully year after year,” Renda said.
It does not matter what caused your accident. Renda and Voynick thwart the strategies and tactics commonly used by insurers to minimize or avoid liability.
The firm is widely respected by judges, lawyers, and insurance companies for obtaining multimillion dollar recoveries.
Renda and Voynick were recently named as “Super Lawyers” in the area of plaintiff personal injury by New Jersey Monthly magazine for the 13th consecutive year.
Both Voynick and Renda are certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as Civil Trial Attorneys, a very small and distinguished group of lawyers.
Three years ago, Voynick was named president of the Northern New Jersey Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (Renda had already been a longtime member.)
Renda & Voynick are located at the Canfield Office Park 912 Pompton Ave., Suite B-2 Cedar Grove.

The K.A.R.S. TEAM!!! (Umang seen in this photo on the far left) “SPECIALIZING IN ALL KINDS OF IMPORTED AND AMERICAN CARS”
EDISON--In an exclusive interview granted to www.NJnewsjersey.com we interviewed the owner Umang Soni of Krishna Auto Repair Service also known as K.A.R.S. Before we cover the exceptional quality and service of Krishna Auto Repair Service we want to let you know it is centrally located at 1699 Oak Tree Road alongside the popular Raceway gasoline station. They specialize in all kinds of Imported & American cars. Umang Soni has been an Edison resident since 1989. Prior to that Umang Soni grew up in Jersey City, NJ. Ever since his youth it was clear Umang has had huge a passion for cars. He recalled times when his parents brought their car to various auto repair shops that caused the family a lot of frustration and inevitably much stress for the family. He knew enough about auto repair at the time to know that some of these repair shops were not honest and that was when he knew one day he would treat people and their cars with honesty and integrity. Umang said,”Many times people just wanted to get their car issue resolved so they could resume their daily routine. Unfortunately, for my parents and many others in my neighborhood these repair shops fixed things that were unnecessarily replaced or repaired things that were not broken. I saw how this practice caused a lot of unnecessary financial stress on many of their customers. It was during this experience I knew I could do much better. My customers trust me because I let them know what has to be repaired. If there are issues that may be a concern in six months or a year, I tell them and they appreciate my honesty. Umang mentions "this has been my approach with my customers and the main reason they keep coming back to see me in the future is they become my repeat regular customers." Umang attended school in Jersey City and after his graduation he attended Lincoln Technical Institute in 2002 where he continued to hone his skills as an Auto Mechanic. After his graduation from Lincoln Technical Institute, Umang Soni put his master mechanic skills to work. Fast forward to 2005 Umang realized his dream of helping anyone and everyone that he could. It was in 2005 that he became the owner of Krishna Auto Repair Service. At that time it was a Gulf station. His immediate goal was to develop the business by winning over ever customer by displaying his highly talented skills in automotive repair along with his unwavering integrity and honesty. It is also worth mentioning that Umang along with his staff are very personable and friendly to their customers. If you want to experience Krishna Auto Repair Service for yourself stop in and ask for Umang and his highly skilled staff of auto mechanics after your next fill up of gas at the Raceway gas station at 1699 Oak Tree Road in Edison, or call and speak to Umang Soni.
