Page 14 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • June 16, 2010 Area Last week, area voters cast their ballots in support of the Republican primary candidates. With the ofﬁcial support of their party, those candidates will now prepare to run in the November general election. Independent candidates do not appear on the primary ballot and have until the day of the primary to announce their candidacy. Allendale Incumbent Republican Mayor Vincent Barra received 197 votes in his party’s primary. Incumbent Councilman Ari Bernstein received 188 votes and incumbent Councilwoman Susan Lamonica received 186 votes. Both council members are Republicans. No Democrats ﬁled for election in that party’s primary this year. Saddle River Two three-year seats are available on the Saddle River Borough Council this year. Republican incumbent Karen Mastriano and newcomer Dr. Warren Boardman each received 189 ballots. No Democrats ﬁled for their party’s primary, and no Independents have stepped forward to challenge the Republicans in November. Upper Saddle River Upper Saddle River’s Republican council candidates Dr. Jonathan Ditkoff and Dr. Thomas Hafner received 188 votes and 185 votes, respectively. No Democrats ran this year, and no Independents have announced their candidacy. Waldwick Waldwick’s Democratic voters cast their Emmanuel asks... ballots in that party’s primary, and Republican voters cast write-in ballots for the GOP council incumbents. Democrats Franklin Jaegge and J. Patrick Hunter are again seeking election to the borough council. They received 107 votes and 106 votes, respectively, to earn their party’s nomination. The Republicans, Thomas Giordano and Don Sciolaro, failed to ﬁle by the April deadline, blaming the omission on a ﬁling mistake, according to Republican Chairman and Mayor Emeritus James Toolen. In a joint statement, Giordano and Sciolaro thanked their supporters for writing in their names as the Republican candidates. “We are honored once again to be on the November ballot as your choice for council. As in the past we will continue to serve our community and all residents to the best of our ability,” they said. Hunter, 31, is a life-long resident of Waldwick. He is employed by MercedesBenz Manhattan. Jaegge has resided in Waldwick for 50 years, and has served on the Waldwick Fire Department for 48 of those years. Now retired, he was general trafﬁc manager for GEC Marconi for 35 years. Giordano, a 21-year resident, is seeking his third term on the council. He is a licensed funeral director. Sciolaro is completing his second threeyear term. An 18-year resident, he holds degrees from Seton Hall and Fairleigh Dickinson and is the CEO of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

He is about to enter sixth grade after spending some time on home instruction because of his illness. When he is not in the hospital for chemotherapy, Bobby likes to spend his 4-29-09 karen/janine time at home on the computer and playing with Legos. Since there are no kids his EmmanuelHelp3x.75(4-29-09) age in his neighborhood, he has to play by him3 x .75 self. He used to enjoy the interaction with friends in school, but now he has to ﬁnd his own fun. Bobby’s dad works, and his mom has taken on the full-time role of overseeing his medical care. Bobby has one older brother who will be entering high school at the end of the summer. Because of the income loss this family faced with mom out of work, they could use gift certiﬁcates to any chain grocery or department store. Our case worker is helping them ﬁnd alternate resources, but your help is still needed. They have requested summer clothes for Bobby (adult size medium T-shirts). Bobby also likes board games of all types. We are able to make a difference with families like Bobby’s with your contribution to the Family Financial Assistance Program.
