Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • June 3, 2009 Emmanuel asks... Glen Rock even supply the teabags! Tea parties can be as elaborate or as simple as you would like. Some folks are holding an English tea complete with scones, finger foods, and a selection of teas. You are also invited to honor moms by attending our “Moms: The Unsung Heroes” Stroll-A-Thon to be held Sunday, June 28 in Ridgewood from 8 to 11 a.m. Call us for details. From one of our ECF moms: “My name is Suzie and I am the mother of a child with cancer. My son, Jake, was diagnosed at age six with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Jake’s journey ahead would consist of bone marrow biopsies/aspirations, lumbar punctures, blood draws, X-rays, scans and chemotherapy. After many delays and hospital stays, Jake completed 3.5 years of treatment. He began his new life after cancer. However, on January 16, 2007, a year and a half after completing treatment, we were told Jake’s cancer was back. His brother Colton wasn’t a bone marrow match for Jake, so it was decided chemotherapy would be the course of treatment. A year and a half later, it was clear that Jake’s treatment wasn’t going according to plan and it was decided that Jake would receive an unrelated bone (continued on page 20) Can You Help? Our hat’s off to the Midland Park Library for doing a food collection for the next week. We thank Grace Nursery School in Wyckoff for the contribution of groceries, gift cards, and movies. The Glen Rockbased civic group called WICS, Women in Community Service, gets our appreciation for their ongoing support. Father’s Day is now on the horizon. You can honor Dad by making a contribution to the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation in his name. Please call us for details. We are also asking readers to honor ECF mothers who have children with cancer. Motherhood is a 4-29-09 karen/janine demanding job in normal circumstances, but with a child in EmmanuelHelp3x.75(4-29-09) cona chronically sick and life threatening dition, life 3 x .75 can become unmanageable and out of control. We strive to ease the burden for these moms with a package of support, but in order to provide our services we need your help. You can participate in three different ways: Make a contribution in honor of your mother, and we’ll send a card noting your gift; ask for a Tea Party Packet from our office and learn how you can hold a tea party with friends to support ECF; or privately raise a cup in your own home to honor ECF moms. We will Fred Stahman takes over as police chief Acting Glen Rock Police Chief Fred Stahman will officially take over as chief of police this week and will take his oath of office at the June 10 meeting of the Glen Rock Council. A veteran officer in Glen Rock, Stahman replaces Chief Steven Cherry, who accepted a mandatory age-related retirement in May. Chief Cherry, a combat support veteran of Vietnam, had announced his retirement several months in advance and worked with Stahman for a smooth transition. At the May 27 meeting, the Glen Rock Council introduced an ordinance establishing a salary range of $100,000 to $142,000 for the police chief. The council also introduced an amendment to the ordinance to facilitate construction around Glen Rock High School. That amendment would delete the parking prohibition on Emerson Road from a point 25 feet east of Hamilton Avenue to a point 25 feet west of Hamilton Avenue and from a point 25 feet east of Belmont Road to a point 25 feet west of Berkeley Place. The ordinance will have its hearing at the June 10 meeting. J. KOSTER Van Langen wins scholarship Mary Van Langen, a senior at Glen Rock High School, was one of 30 New Jersey students to win a $2,500 scholarship given by the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association. Van Langen received the check and a plaque at a luncheon in Monroe Township last week. The scholarship, which requires applicants to write an essay, is given to a student who demonstrates strong contributions to extracurricular activities other than athletics. All secondary school principals are invited to submit the name of a high school senior who demonstrates leadership as a nominee. “Selecting winners from over 200 applicants was indeed a difficult task,” said Mindy Milavsky, chairperson of the Student Leadership Committee of the NJPSA. “Each applicant has impeccable credentials and serves as a role model for all New Jersey students.” �� Hair Care �� Total Design & Maintenance Service ��
