Meetings on hospital plan put on hold

The Ridgewood Village Council will not hold any meetings until fall on a change in the master plan that will permit The Valley Hospital to double in size, council members decided Wednesday.

Councilwoman Bernadette Walsh suggested weighing in on the plan as early as June and devoting several meetings over the summer to the amended master plan, all of which would be scheduled well in advance so the public could plan accordingly, she said.

However, Mayor Keith Killion and the rest of the council opted to wait until the fall to conduct meetings to give residents ample opportunity to attend meetings.

“My feelings were, we’ve waited long enough,’’ Walsh said Thursday. “We’re kind of putting everyone on hold.’’

>RIDGEWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS :ANNUAL PARENT SURVEY TARGETED FOR NEXT WEEK

>RIDGEWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS :ANNUAL PARENT SURVEY TARGETED FOR NEXT WEEK

Once again, the Ridgewood Public Schools will be conducting a survey to determine parent/guardian opinions on a variety of topics related to the district. A similar survey was last conducted last June, at the end of the 2009-2010 school year.

The purpose of the brief survey is to gather parent and guardian’s opinions on district schools and the education Ridgewood students receive. The survey is divided into five sections: school climate, academics, extracurricular activities, facilities and communications. Also included is a section covering the Skyward student information system, newly implemented this school year. The data collected will be shared with the community and will be used by the Board of Education as part of its evaluation of district policies and practices.

Parents will be receiving the surveys next week via e-mail. They will receive one e-mail for each school their children attend, which will include a link to access the survey. Parents will be instructed to complete only one survey for each school that their children are enrolled, regardless of the number of children attending a particular school. For example, if a household has two children enrolled at a district elementary school and one child at the high school, links to two surveys will be send to each parent.

Responses to survey questions will remain completely confidential.

A dedicated e-mail address has been set up to take questions or concerns at [email protected].

>Give charter schools a chance, association chairman says

Charter schools are the research and development arm of public education and deserve a chance to prove they can succeed where public schools have not, a charter schools advocate told attendees Thursday at the annual Metropolitan Business and Citizens Association Scholarship Luncheon.

Every day, family pets are targets in homes where there is domestic violance, animal advocates say. And the emotional trauma of their suffering extends to their owners, who often choose not to leave their batterer because they fear for their pet’s well being. (Baxter, The Star-Ledger)

>Jobless claims jump points to slowing recovery

>Jobless claims jump points to slowing recovery

On Thursday May 5, 2011, 5:00 pm EDT
By Lucia Mutikani

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The number of Americans filing for jobless aid rose to an eight-month high last week and productivity growth slowed in the first quarter, clouding the outlook for an economy that is struggling to gain speed.

While the surprise jump in initial claims for unemployment benefits was blamed on factors ranging from spring break layoffs to the introduction of an emergency benefits program, economists said it corroborated reports this week indicating a loss of momentum in job creation.

New claims for state jobless benefits rose 43,000 to 474,000, the highest since mid-August, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Economists had expected claims to fall.

>National Home Prices Double Dip

>National Home Prices Double Dip
Published: Thursday, 5 May 2011 | 12:02 AM ET Text Size
By: Diana Olick

It’s official.

Home prices have double dipped nationwide, now lower than their March 2009 trough, according to a new report from Clear Capital.

It was inevitable, and it was predicted (by me for sure) that a surge in sales of foreclosed properties and a big push by banks to facilitate short sales would force home prices down dramatically.

Sales of bank-owned (REO) properties hit 34.5 percent of the market, according to the survey, resulting in a national price drop of 4.9 percent quarterly and 5 percent year-over-year. National home prices have fallen 11.5 percent in the past nine months, a rate not seen since 2008. Add short sales, where the bank allows the borrower to sell for less than the value of the mortgage, and prices have nowhere to go but down.
