Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • January 16, 2013 Wyckoff Two trustees resign from K-8 school board by John Koster The 2013 reorganization meeting of the Wyckoff Board of Education saw the resignation of two trustees, leaving two seats vacant. Dr. Jill Mortimer, superintendent in Moonachie, and Catherine Runge both resigned at the Jan. 7 meeting. Board members and Wyckoff Superintendent of Schools Richard Kuder praised the two resigning members and regretted their departure. Dr. Mortimer said she needed extra time to concentrate on helping the Moonachie district regroup after the substantial problems caused by Hurricane Sandy. Residents who wish to be accepted as board members were urged to submit letters stating their eligibility and listing their credentials by Jan. 16 to Business Administrator Alan Reiffe at 241 Morse Avenue in Wyckoff. Wyckoff had a contested election last year, but in several prior years, appointments had to be made because not enough candidates filed for board seats. Robert Francin, an attorney with a background in business administration, was elected president of the school board and Lisa Martone was elected vice president. Reiffe was reappointed as school board secretary and Kuder was appointed assistant board secretary. Wyckoff police officers arrested four men who were first spotted in a car in the Hartger’s Jewelers parking lot. A 26-year-old Brooklyn man was charged with possession of stolen property, theft, use of a fraudulent identity, use of a fraudulent credit card, and with an active warrant. He was sent to Bergen County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. The other three Brooklyn residents were charged with possession of stolen property and theft, and one was charged with providing false information. They are scheduled to Charges filed against Brooklyn men appear in municipal court on Jan. 23. Sergeant Michael Ragucci and Patrolman Kevin Kasak responded to the call at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 3. According to the caller, four young men were in a car in the Hartger’s parking lot. The police located the men in the Walgreen’s lot on Wyckoff Avenue. Each man had a different story about why they were in Wyckoff. All were in possession of stolen gift cards, iTouches, an iPad, and a GPS device, which they said they purchased on the street in Brooklyn.
