Glen Rock May 30, 2012 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 3 Democrats, Republicans to endorse candidates by John Koster Two Democrats and a Republican have filed for their parties’ primary elections, which will be held June 5. Glen Rock Council incumbent Joan Orseck and Howard Fox, a veteran of a previous election bid, have filed for the Democratic primary, while Republican council incumbent Carmine Nogara filed for the GOP primary. Two three-year seats will be available on the council in November’s general election. Fox, who ran for council last year, is an expert in electronic communications and operates multiple businesses. During his 2011 campaign, Fox pointed out that the borough had, in his opinion and some others, been somewhat backward in promulgating electronic communications and in scheduling recycling. Fox said this led to street litter when the materials to be recycled were put out at the wrong time. The 2011 vote count was tense, but the Republicans won. The 2012 budget, however, contains provisions for improvements to electronic communications. Nogara, who is seeking his second term, is a financial professional and a long-time volunteer with the Glen Rock Fire Department. Council members on both sides of the spectrum cite his financial knowledge in budgeting activities. He recuses himself from votes on the fire department budget. Orseck is a registered nurse and teacher of nursing. The incumbent is now seeking her third term on the council. She was once part of a 3-3 council balance between Democrats and Republicans, but attrition wore away at the balance and Orseck is now the lone Democrat on the governing body. An advocate of youth and senior services, Orseck is committed to controlling taxes without serious loss of services.
