Waldwick April 21, 2010 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • Page 3 Republicans fail to file; will wage write in campaign Two Democrats filed last week to be on the primary election ballot for the two available seats on the Waldwick Borough Council. The Republican candidates, however, will have to wage a write-in campaign in the June primary to get on the November election ballot. The Democrats, Franklin Jaegge and J. Patrick Hunter, are trying again after an unsuccessful run for the council last year. The Republican incumbents, Thomas Giordano and Don Sciolaro, failed to file by the April 12 deadline, blaming the omission on a filing mistake, according to Republican Chairman James Toolen. “We had all the signatures, but we filed the papers incorrectly at the local level. It was a filing snafu on our part, which we will rectify by writing-in the candidates in the Primary. Don and Tom will be on the ballot in November. They are doing a good job, and they have our full support to continue on the council,” he added. “Don and I are a team, and we are definitely running for re-election,” said Giordano. “We are very excited to be able to continue to serve Waldwick and dealing with the many difficult issues that we are facing, and we look forward to the “campaign,” he said. Hunter, 31, is a life-long resident of Waldwick and a 1997 graduate of Waldwick High School. He received a BS in marketing from Ramapo College in 2001 and an MBA in finance from Ramapo College in 2005.

He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, and serves as an usher at the Church of the Nativity in Midland Park. He is also a member of the Waldwick Democratic Club, and the Waldwick and Wyckoff chambers of commerce. Employed by Mercedes-Benz USA for over 12 years, he is currently the Pre-Owned Sales Manager for Mercedes Benz Manhattan. He is also the co-owner of Wyckoff Cycle, LLC, and a licensed real estate agent with Halcyon Enterprises Inc, a division of Abbott and Caserta Realtors. Jaegge has resided in Waldwick for 50 years, and has served on the Waldwick Fire Department for 48 of those years, including three terms as chief. In 1971, he was instrumental in organizing the Junior Fire Brigade. Jaegge has also served as Waldwick’s civil defense disaster coordinator.
