Glen Rock April 6, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 3 Glen Rock’s Doris Ciaramella was honored for a lifetime of volunteerism by Assemblywoman Nellie Pou as part of a Women’s History Month celebration. Ciaramella, best known in recent years as the Glen Rock Borough Council’s liaison to the Glen Rock Senior Citizens, has also been a volunteer for three decades at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood and Saint Catharine’s Church in Glen Rock. “I have found that when I volunteer, I get more than I give,” Ciaramella said. “I wish more people would volunteer.” Ciaramella seldom misses a council meeting and helps schedule and promote events of interest to local seniors and other people with special needs. “Women’s ideas and actions have served to motivate millions of people throughout the years, thereby establishing new levels of expectations and daring the next generation of young women to reach Ciaramella honored for lifetime of volunteerism for higher goals,” Assemblywoman Pou said. “Through their invaluable service, these women have made history in their communities.” Ciaramella said that her mother, who left Switzerland as a teenager, was her role model for fearlessness and responsible citizenship. She said she was surprised and grateful to have received the award. The gathering at the Paterson Museum was attended by about 100 people and Ciaramella was one of 11 women honored. Assemblywoman Elease Evans, State Senator John Girgenti, and Representative William Pascrell and members of the Passaic County Board of Freeholders were present. Ciaramella is a graduate of East Side High School in Paterson and a long-term Glen Rock resident. Before her work as a local Glen Rock and Northwest Bergen County area volunteer, she also worked with Paterson’s fire departments. Her husband, Captain Anthony Ciaramella, served for many years on the Glen Rock Police Department. J. KOSTER Area Outside is now open.

In March, New Jersey Transit held a preconstruction meeting with Ho-Ho-Kus officials in anticipation of the two-week repair project the company had planned for an April 1 start. The company subsequently advised that the work would be delayed until April 8, but later advised that the job would be on hold until New Jersey Transit could secure the necessary materials. Cirulli said New Jersey Transit now anticipates the project will begin some time in August. Warren Avenue repairs delayed New Jersey Transit plans to replace the section of tracks now located in the Warren Avenue roadway and will repave the street. Cirulli noted that New Jersey Transit had been asked to coordinate its work with Bergen County, which is still in the midst of repairs to the Warren Avenue Bridge. The goal, Cirulli said, was to have New Jersey Transit finish its project while the county was still at work on the bridge. However, given the latest delay, Cirulli said the bridge project will likely be completed before the work on the tracks begins. The Warren Avenue Bridge was closed to all motorists and pedestrians in the fall of 2010 so county crews could begin a complete refurbishment of that structure. ������������������������������ ������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������� ���������� ������������������������� ����������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������� ������������ 10% off all 2011 5-piece sets, Up to 50% off last year’s sets OUTDOOR FURNITURE * Offer expires 05/01/2011. �������������������������� ���������������������� ���������� and free local delivery* skibarn.com
