February 13, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 7 Glen Rock Young architects & engineers test their skills by John Koster Students from Glen Rock High School’s architecture and engineering course used fiction to vector into fact last week as they met at the Glen Rock Library to confer with the staff and design a “new library” for the borough. The new library is clearly fiction. The library reconstruction completed in 2006 with the last-minute help of David Bolger and the local Masonic Lodge is a source of considerable pride to the borough, and the building is not slated for a real-life overhaul. The premise of the fiction is that Glen Rock would be funded for an entirely new building on the existing lot, and the students from Tim Shea’s class toured the library, spoke with the staff, and measured the aspects of the library’s physical plant, including shelves and windows, to draw up tactically accurate but financially fantastic plans. “The Glen Rock Public Library has received a grant to build a new building on the current site of 315 Rock Road (Block (continued on page 14) Dr. Kathleen Regan has been appointed interim superintendent of the Glen Rock School District and will cooperate with prior interim superintendent Raymond Albano for the immediate future. Dr. Regan had served as the district’s director of curriculum and instruction until her appointment as interim superintendent last week. Predictions elsewhere that a fulltime superintendent would be appointed failed to materialize. Albano, who has served as an interim superintendent in a number of demographically similar districts in the Pascack Valley area, announced his resignation to the Kathleen Regan named interim superintendent apparent surprise of board members. He remains on retainer on a daily basis to ease the transition. Dr. Ron Verducci, the last regular superintendent, also retired ahead of schedule in 2012. Dr. Regan is noted for her development of an arts program in the school system and for reaching out to parents through an Internet site. Her appointment officially runs through March 15, but board members reportedly expect to have a full-time superintendent on the roster in the near future. J. KOSTER McGara DeWan, Christina McRare, and Yalana Zhengh measure a shelf at the library as part of their project.
