Trustee Patricia Canzoneri-Callahan says she uses her late husband's words for guidance as she is sworn into office Monday night.
It was an emotional night at Village Hall Monday as newly-elected Trustee Patricia Canzoneri-Callahan was sworn into office to finish out her late husband's term. It was around this time last year, that Jim Callahan was taking the same oath of office, surrounded by his wife and four children, after he had won a fourth term on the village board. Just 52 days later the 42-year-old lost his brief battle with cancer. "It's a little bit bittersweet for me because Jim Callahan is not here with us this evening," Gail Wakefield, co-chair of the village's celebrations committee, said at the start of the program. "I miss him terribly, he's my friend and always will be, but I'm so happy that his wife is here this evening as our newly elected trustee…

Malvernite Tom Grech encourages his neighbors to vote for the Malverne Independent Party candidate on March 20.
Dear Neighbors: As a Trustee of the Malverne Public Library for the past several years and a resident of Malverne for over 10 years, I believe I know and understand how the Village works. I also know who rolls up their sleeves and gets things done while looking out for the taxpayers. I am writing to request your support to elect Trustee Patricia Callahan. She understands that working together with others is a sign of strength, that promoting laws and ordinances that keep the small town feeling of Malverne is a good thing and that governing a Village such as Malverne requires good judgment along with an open minded perspective. Sincerely, Tom Grech
