Final Chance to Nominate Wilmington's People of the Year

We've had several nominations for who made this a year to remember in Wilmington, and there's still time to make your selection.

As we look to prepare our Athlete of the Year, Person of the Year and Teacher of the Year articles for next week, we are looking for input from our readers.

Among the entries we've had for the Person of the Year are Paul Cardello for his work with iPods for Wounded Veterans, Lou Cimaglia for his contributions to Veterans Services, and now retired Town Manager Mike Caira for finishing up decades of service to the town.

Several residents also nominated Kevin MacDonald, who has clashed with town officials throughout the year. MacDonald has been a key figure in the appeal of the Wilmington High School project, which is currently in Superior Court.

There are also plenty of great choices for Teacher of the Year, as well as Athlete of the Year.

To make your selection, all you have to do is tell us who you select for each category in the comments section below, or in the comments section of our original Year in Review article.

If you don't feel comfortable making your nomination in the comments section, you can also e-mail Local Editor Matt Schooley at matthew.schooley@patch.com.

We will let you know who Patch selected early next week.
