Restaurant serves up fresh produceBY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun
For almost half a century, 45years to be exact, the Candelafamily has been running a suc-cessful Italian restaurant in thequiet residential area of EldridgePark in Lawrenceville.
Known as Candelas, thisquaint, yet hectic Italian eaterycontinues to draw residents fromall over Mercer County, as well asstudents from one of its most pop-ular client bases, Rider Universi-ty.
Owner Vito Candela acquiredthe restaurant in 1968, 20 yearsafter it was originally built. Onlytwo years later, in 1970, Candeladecided to expand his business.He got the idea to make a varietyof hoagies, put them in a bag anddrive over to Rider College be-fore it was designated as a univer-sity to sell to students.
The first day, I made 20 hoa-gies and brought them over toOlson Hall [one of the dorms],
he said. I sold them for $1, andbefore I knew it, they were gone.So, the next day I made 60 hoa-gies, and then more each day. I gotup to 120 hoagies, where I coveredthree to four buildings each day.Thats how I started my reputa-tion with Rider.
Whats unique to Candelas isthe secret garden in the back of
HEATHER FIORE/The Lawrence Sun
Candela owners Francesco Frank Candela and Pietro Pete Candela are shown in the restaurant kitchen, where they spend the majority oftheir time.

Candelas is located at 22 Lawn Park Ave. in the Eldridge Park section ofLawrenceville. The restaurant is located right behind Tastee Sub Shop, which is located on Route 206.please see VEGETABLES, page 6

BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
Township Manager RichardKrawczun and Municipal Engi-neer Jim Parvesse met with resi-dents of Darrah Lane on April 1to address various questions andconcerns regarding the repavingof the road, which is scheduled tobegin this summer.
Several months ago, residentsof Darrah Lane asked the town-ship committee to consider com-
pleting a Complete Streets pro-gram for the area, a policy thatwas adopted by the NJ DOT in2012. The Complete Streets pro-gram is designed to protect thesafety of bikers, walkers, transitriders and drivers.
Roads are built to safely accom-modate a variety of transporta-tion modes and users of all agesand abilities. Complete Streetsare planned, designed and con-structed to blend with the localcommunity, while meeting trans-
portation needs, according to theNJ DOTs website.
The last time that topic wasdiscussed, there was a decision tocreate a policy where the resi-
dents would be notified and havethe opportunity to be met with sothey could ask questions, Kraw-czun said.
Residents were sent an inform-ative letter 30 days prior to theApril 1 meeting and there was agood exchange of information,Krawczun said.
The residents main concernswere speeding and installingspeed humps on the road, whichwere found to be unfeasible sinceDarrah Lane is used as a main
road for police transportation.There were also suggestions
about striping the road to slowtraffic, as well as the creation of acrosswalk at the intersection ofGlenn Avenue and Darrah Lane,both of which will be incorporat-ed into the townships plan.
The striping will happen afterthe construction takes place andwill be similar to that of BergenStreet, where there is a widershoulder that is striped.
A wider striped shoulder and
making the travel lane smallershould slow traffic and address alot of the residents concerns,Councilwoman Cathleen Lewissaid.

In professional sports, winning is
everything. Winning is the only
thing. Second place is first loser.
As former NFL head coach Herm
Edwards famously said in a post-game
press conference when he was with the
New York Jets: You play to win the
game. You dont play to just play it.
Thats the great thing about sports:
You play to win.
Players, coaches and front office per-
sonnel are paid to produce success on
the field, and they are judged by the
level of that success.
Its not silly, and its not immature.
Professional sports rally cities, rally
countries. They are a source of great
pride and passion, and fans spend
handsome sums to support their
teams.
The more successful the team, the
more passionate the fan base. There-
fore, the more successful the team, the
more money it makes.
Unfortunately, this emphasis on win-ning at all costs has seeped down to
amateur levels of sport. Collegiate
sports especially at the highest lev-
els have become about winning at all
costs, too, because they are big money
generators for universities. The more a
team wins, the more its players and
coaches are profiled, and the more like-
ly those players and coaches will earn
big contracts.
This was never more evident than
last week, when tapes of former Rut-
gers University basketball coach Mike
Rice surfaced, showing Rice who was
fired last week throwing balls at play-
ers heads, yelling at players and utter-
ing homophobic slurs during prac-
tices, all, apparently, because he want-
ed to win.
Debate has raged over whether colle-
giate athletes are really amateurs any-
more, or whether they should be paid
for their efforts, above and beyond
scholarship money. That debate is for a
different day.
The dangerous part of this story, is
how this culture of winning seeps its
way further down the chain to youth
sports, at high schools, travel teams or
even Little Leagues.
The lure of big money in sports is
hard to ignore even this far down the
ladder, and its easy to lose focus on
what sports are really about building
leaders, fostering a sense of communi-
ty and teamwork, and having fun.
So coaches, ADs, administrators and
players, never forget that winning isnt
everything, winning isnt the only
thing, and second place isnt first loser.
in our opinion
Win or die? Lets be realYouth coaches, parents and kids: Dont lose focus on what sports are all about
Just win, baby!
With our society focused on winningat all costs, how do we send the propermessage to our kids involved in youthsports? Tell us your thoughts on thetopic.
the restaurant, which produces a surplusof fresh vegetables every year.
Since Candela lives above the restau-
rant, he began planting his own vegetablesshortly after he began running the restau-rant.
Since then, his plants have flourished,giving him bountiful servings of variousvegetables such as tomatoes, zucchini, yel-
low squash, peppers, eggplant and cucum-bers, which are used in some of Candelasdishes.
It depends on if we get a lot of some-thing, said Pete, one of Candela's sons.Last year, we got a lot of zucchini, so wefocused some dishes around that.
In past years, Candela's has also utilizedother vegetables that come from the gar-
den, incorporating them into the specialdishes Pete and his brother Frank createon a monthly basis in the spring and sum-mer.
"Last year, I had about 10 tomato plantsthat grew," Candela said. "Sometimes, if I
see that the tomato plants are really grow-ing, I'll go over to the farmer's market andpick up a few more to plant."
Candela begins planting his variety ofvegetables during the second or third weekin April, and they start to bloom in the be-ginning of June. He only plants vegetablesthat are generally used in Italian cooking.
Candela, who immigrated to America
from Sicily in 1959, used to work in con-struction, but found that his age had ahuge impact on his ability to find work inthat field.

When youre young and ableto move, you get a job quickly, butif youre older, youre going to bethe first one out and the last onein, he said. So, one day, I got inthe car and was determined tofind another career.
And that he did.While driving around
Lawrence, Candela stumbledupon the restaurant, and eversince, it has all been history, he
said.Candela has always run a fami-ly business, and about 12 yearsago, he handed the torch over tohis two sons, Pietro andFrancesco, better known as Peteand Frank, who run the daily op-erations.
Pete, the younger of the two,explained how he was born intothe business, having workedthere since he was 15 years old.
It was my first job and myonly career, he said. I tried to do
other things, but its always betterworking for yourself.
Frank has been working theresince he was 20 years old.
Both brothers explained howthey devised the restaurantsmenu, which incorporates a vari-ety of simple, natural ingredientsas well as all of the essential
meats chicken, veal and seafood.When we got this place, it was
a one-page menu, front andback, Frank said. Now, its four
pages.Candelas features all the clas-
sic Italian dishes, including pastaand pizza, as well as some special-ty dishes, which Frank and Petemake up each month.
We usually do specials everytwo weeks, but sometimes once amonth, since it may take us a lit-tle longer to make up the dishes,Pete said.
Two of the local favorites in-clude homemade lasagna and
chicken parmigiana, which haveone thing in common Vitoshomemade marinara sauce.
Customers come in for the
homemade sauce, Candela said.I make the sauce three timesevery week. I use plum tomatoesand some special ingredients.
Candela uses the same saucerecipe for all of his pizzas. Can-delas also uses local meats andingredients, which mostly comefrom Trenton. The two main com-panies they utilize includeDutchs Meats, Inc. and P>rading Company.
Its mostly authentic, Sicilianfood, Pete said. We try to keep itsimple. Although Petes two chil-dren are only 3 years old and5 years old, he hopes that theyll
be able to take over one day.They have a ways to go, buthopefully theyll decide to keepit, he said.
