Library sets programs for adults The Mahwah Public Library offers a variety of free programs for adults. Seating is provided on a “first come” basis. Learn basic point and shoot digital photography at a workshop on Tuesday, May 22 at 7 p.m. Betsy Coyne, “the PC Teacher,” will offer information on basic camera operation, how to use the memory card, how to set the scene mode, and how to get movie images onto a computer so they can be edited, shared, and printed. “Arlington Cemetery: Stolen Hallowed Ground” will be held Wednesday, May 30 at 7 p.m. Now the resting place of over 300,000, Arlington Cemetery was once owned by a national enemy. War dead were buried on the estate so it would never be inhabited by a traitor again. Tom Ainsworth will present the fascinating history of this national cemetery. Raised in a military family, Ainsworth holds a bachelor’s degree in speech-theater media and performs a wide spectrum of roles from Shakespeare to Yeats. He has spent 20 years as a Civil War re-enactor living both Union and Confederate impressions. On June 3 at 2 p.m., author and former Ramsey Mayor Richard Muti will discuss his new true crime book “The Charmer: The True Story of Robert Reldan -- Rapist, Murder, and Millionaire -- and the Women who Fell Victim to his Allure.” “The Charmer” chronicles the career of serial rapist/murderer Robert Reldan, a handsome, personable charmer of the Ted Bundy mold. Over a 20-year period, Reldan’s charm would cause 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. Muti spent 19 years as a successful trial prosecutor and has taught writing, American government and politics, criminal justice, and history at three New Jersey universities. “The Charmer” is his third book. Co-author Charles Buckley spent 25 years as one of New Jersey’s top trial prosecutors and is the prosecutor who finally convicted Reldan after two previous murder trials had ended in failure. A book signing and question and answers session will follow Muti’s program. The library is located at 100 Ridge Road in Mahwah. Call (201) 529-READ for details.

Annual Fishing Contest announced The Township of Mahwah will host its 23rd Annual Fishing Contest on Saturday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to noon at Silver Creek, located at the corner of Airmount Road and Airmont Avenue. Prizes will be awarded to Mahwah anglers, ages five through 13. Proof of residency is required at registration. The event will be held rain or shine. Drainage project (continued from page 3) and the installation of about 1,000 feet of pipe, the roadway would have to be shut down each day for about six hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but it might be open every night if that does not cause an increase in the cost. Boswell explained, however, that the project could be staged during the time the schools are out of session, and said he would explore that potential timeline. Roth urged him to find a way to do it when the schools are closed. Council President John Spiech, who is a member of the township’s volunteer fire department, voiced concern about getting a ladder truck across town in a fire emergency during the construction. He suggested it might be necessary to park a fire truck on the west side of the underpass on West Airmount Road during the day, or to park one truck on either side of the underpass. Boswell agreed to discuss that possibility with the fire department.
