November 14, 2012 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • Page 21 Waldwick Watch ‘The Charmer’ program rescheduled Charles Buckley and Richard Muti, authors of “The Charmer: The True Story of Robert Reldan -- Rapist, Murderer, and Millionaire -- and the Women Who Fell Victim to his Allure,” will present Reldan’s story at the Waldwick Public Library on Thursday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. This event was rescheduled due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Reldan, a handsome, personable charmer of the Ted Bundy mold, had an engaging, friendly smile that promised a charming personality and inspired trust. Over the next 20 years, that smile caused a dozen or more unsuspecting women to drop their guard and place themselves under the power of one of New Jersey’s most ruthless criminals. Deputy Attorney General Buckley spent 25 years as one of New Jersey’s top trial prosecutors, acting as a modernday legal Paladin and crisscrossing New Jersey to try the most difficult cases. Buckley was the prosecutor who finally convicted Reldan after two previous murder trials had ended in failure. Muti spent 19 years as a successful trial prosecutor and taught writing, American government and politics, criminal justice, and history at three New Jersey universities. “The Charmer” is Muti’s third book. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Harvard Business School, and Rutgers Law School, and a former Navy pilot. In his hometown of Ramsey, he is a member of the school board and a former mayor. The program is free and open to the public; however, space is limited and advance registration is recommended. A book signing will follow the program. For information, call (201) 652-5104. Rabies Clinic announced The Waldwick Board of Health and Northwest Bergen Regional Health Commission will hold a free Rabies Clinic on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The clinic will take place at the department of public works, 19 Industrial Park in Waldwick.

The vaccine will provide three-year immunity for cats and dogs 12 months of age and older who have been previously vaccinated. Cats and dogs ages three to 11 months, and animals over one year old who have not received the vaccine, will require re-vaccination in one year. The state health department encourages owners of animals whose vaccinations will expire in 2013 to have their pets vaccinated this year to ensure a good overlap in immunity.
