Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • October 30, 2013 Waldwick Trustees run unopposed Waldwick school trustees Daniel Marro, Sr. and Dawn Monaco are run- ning unopposed for the two open seats on the Waldwick Board of Education. Marro has been a board member for seven years. He said he wants to keep part in the ongoing progress the board has been making within the past year or so, such as full-time kindergarten and the renovation and completion of the classroom buildings at the Julia A. Traphagen School. “I feel it is important to provide the best environment possible for our children to learn in, and clean, up- to-date buildings provide such an environment. Also, keeping up with the current and growing technologies available today would be greatly ben- eficial to future generations,” Marro said. “I would like to keep being an integral part of the continuing growth and prosperity of the Waldwick School District and all it has to offer now and in the future. And that future is our children!” he added. Monaco, who took over as board president in September, is running for a third term. “I am proud of the contributions I have made during my tenure, and I believe I can continue to make more contributions to the district for this addi- tional term,” said Monaco. “Currently I have two children in the high school, in both general education and special education. I have had one child in each elementary school; therefore, I feel I have varied experience within the Waldwick school district,” she added. Marro, a 20-year resident, has a degree in Criminal Justice and Politi- cal Science from Kean University. He has been employed by the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department for 24 years and currently holds the title of Deputy Work Release Administrator. Additionally, he recently became vice president of PBA Local #134. An 18-year resident, Monaco holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Villa- nova University. She is a peer support partner with Family Support Organi- zation of Bergen County and a family resource specialist/trainer with State- wide Parent Advocacy Network. Public Health Center marks 30 th anniversary Lions Club President Randy Reveley displays the proclamation to Lions’ members present at the rededication ceremony. No Lions Club members who worked on the construction of the Waldwick Public Health Center were present at the rededication of the building last week, all having either retired to other climates or passed away, but a full contingent of current Lions members, past and cur- rent public officials and residents turned out to the official celebration last week. The stand-alone facility was built as the Lions’ 25 anniversary project and dedi- cated Oct. 22, 1983. Mayor Thomas Giordano presented Public Health Nurse Carol Shepard and Lions President Randy Reveley with a proclamation calling the center the icon of the community, and praising Shepard for being “the keeper of the place who does whatever it takes for the health and well being of residents.” “You are the Waldwick Health Center,” Reveley told Shepard, noting that no other town around has a facility like it. Previously, the nurse had worked out of the old town hall on Prospect Street, which was not barrier free, and had to roll out the scale and other equip- ment out of a closet to receive patients. The Lions have upgraded the center through the years, and the town has used grant funds to provide barrier-free enhancements, particularly necessary due to the large senior population that uses the center. The parking lot was recently resurfaced. Located on White’s Lane adjacent to the ambulance corps building, the health center has an office, and two examina- tion rooms off a welcoming waiting room.
