Scott Garrett Reintroduces Bill to Rename Waldwick Post Office in Marine’s Honor
Apr 12, 2013
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05) reintroduced legislation (H.R. 1458) today to honor fallen Marine and Waldwick native Joseph D’Augustine by renaming the United States Post Office building located at 1 Walter Hammond Place in Waldwick, NJ the “Staff Sergeant Joseph D’Augustine Post Office Building.”
“Words cannot describe the gratitude our community and our country has for Joseph’s selfless commitment to protect his fellow Marines and the freedoms of the United States of America; he is a true hero,” said Garrett after reintroducing the legislation in the House. “On behalf of New Jersey’s 5th District and the Waldwick community, I believe that the Waldwick post office should be renamed to honor this young man and remember his final sacrifice forever. May we never forget Staff Sergeant D’Augustine’s bravery in the line of duty and the family and friends he left behind.”
Staff Sergeant Joseph D’Augustine was killed in action in the Helmand province of Afghanistan on March 27, 2012. D’Augustine, a 2001 Waldwick High School graduate, was assigned to the 8th Engineer Support Battalion of the 2nd Marine Logistics Group out of Camp Lejune and was a specialist trained to dismantle bombs and land mines. D’Augustine was on his fourth tour of duty overseas and his second in Afghanistan.
Garrett has received support from the entire New Jersey delegation in the House of Representatives, and all are cosponsoring the bill.
>Waldwick officials to expand scope of Ho-Ho-Kus Brook fix

Waldwick – Borough officials have decided to expand plans to shore up the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook embankment by including the removal of rocks and sediment that has built up under a bridge on Wyckoff Avenue.
John Delia became the second homeowner this summer to seek the Borough Council’s help in containing water in the brook, the flow of which he said is being constricted by debris.
“This is a hazard to the people in the area because if we get nailed with another hurricane even close to Floyd, we’re going to get hit pretty badly,” Delia told the council at a meeting Aug. 9. “This is something serious. It’s getting worse year by year.”
