Tiger Team : Why isn’t the Village Council moving more quickly to adopt these common sense recommendations
Tiger Team : Why isn’t the Village Council moving more quickly to adopt these common sense recommendations
The Village Council is contemplating an evaluation process for Gabbert. But, the Financial Advisory Committee Report recommended establishing a “metrics-based” management system for ALL employees and layer out a simple method to begin that process, without reinventing the wheel, over a month ago.
Why isn’t the Village Council moving more quickly to adopt these common sense recommendations that should have been implemented years ago? Since the report was presented over a month ago, the Council has not even mentioned it publicly, let alone outlined a process to evaluate and adopt its recommendations.
I was shocked to learn of the fiscal challenges facing Ridgewood. Yet, many residents seem more concerned with political sideshows in town than the solvency of Ridgewood and the ability of its taxpayers to afford its la k of spending discipline. Was the committee a political stunt or can we expect real change to our village management process? What is going on Village Council members????

Sen. Robert Menendez and the mainstream media: Malfeasance?
Posted by Erik Wemple on February 7, 2013 at 3:46 pm
Matthew Boyle is standing by his story.
On Nov. 1, Boyle published a piece on the Daily Caller site titled “Women: Sen. Bob Menendez paid us for sex in the Dominican Republic [VIDEO]“. To sort of nail down the story, Boyle conducted an Internet-video interview with two Dominican women who attested to having been (under)paid to have sex with Menendez and to having been treated both affectionately and indifferently by him.
The Daily Caller story introduced some terms now referenced frequently in hard-nosed coverage on the Democratic New Jersey senator. The romps, it reported, took place around Easter 2012 at Casa de Campo, a pricey Dominican resort. It noted that Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor and campaign donor to Menendez, had a place at Casa de Campo. Also: Melgen’s plane around Easter 2012 took a trip from Florida to the Dominican Republic, with a detour through a private New Jersey airport near Menendez’s home. The senator recently had to reimburse Melgen $58,500 for free trips he’d taken on the aircraft, and a Senate ethics inquiry is homing in on the case.
To the readers of the Daily Caller, the prostitutes are anonymous, with video-fuzzing technology masking their faces. “Both asked that their identities remain obscured for fear of reprisals in the Dominican Republic,” says the piece.
That very anonymity is the reason why other news outlets, including the Associated Press, have called the prostitution allegations against the Democratic New Jersey senator “unsubstantiated.”
Unsubstantiated to other outlets doesn’t mean unsubstantiated to Boyle. “I talked to two of the prostitutes, I saw their faces, I heard their voices…and I know their names,” says Boyle, who has jumped to Breitbart.com since the Menendez story. “I’m not going to release [the names] because given the violent and dangerous nature of the business down there, these women are in jeopardy.”

NEMO: COLD RELATED INJURIES . . .
NEMO: COLD RELATED INJURIES . . .
Frostbite: Damage to body tissue caused by that tissue being frozen. Warning signs include loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities, such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, or the tip of the nose. If symptoms are detected, Get medical help immediately ! If you must wait for help, Slowly re-warm affected areas. If the person is also showing signs of hypothermia, warm the body core before the extremities.
Hypothermia: Low body temperature. Warning signs include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If a person’s body temperature is below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, Immediately seek medical attention.
IF MEDICAL CARE IS NOT AVAILABLE:
•Begin warming the person slowly, warm the body core first. If needed use your own body heat to help.
•Get the person into dry clothing and wrap them in a warm blanket covering them completely, including the head and neck.
•Do not give the person alcohol, drugs, coffee, or any hot beverage or food; warm broth is better.
•Do not warm extremities (arms & legs) first! This drives the cold blood toward the heart and can lead to heart failure.
Strain from the cold and hard labor may cause a heart attack.
•Avoid overexertion, such as shoveling heavy snow, pushing a car, or walking in deep snows, especially if you are not in peak physical condition.
•If you must shovel snow, take it slow and lift small amounts, especially when removing heavy snow, slush or ice.
Food & Drink Food provides the body with energy for producing its own heat. Keep the body replenished with fluids (water and juice; limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol) to prevent dehydration.
How to be prepared at home:
• Keep a battery powered radio and extra batteries for news and official broadcasts.
• Store food that can be prepared without an electric or gas stove.
• Stock emergency water and cooking supplies
• Have flashlights, battery-powered lams and extra batteries in case of a power outage. Candles and matches can be a fire hazard
• If you have a wood stove or fireplace store a good supply of dry, seasoned wood.
• Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure your family knows how to use them and knows fire prevention rules
• Keep in touch with elderly neighbors or family
Be prepared if you go out:
• Wear layers of thin clothing instead of single layers of thick clothing
• Avoid overexertion. Cold weather puts an added strain on the heart. If you add unaccustomed exercise, such as shoveling snow or pushing a car, you may risk heart attack or stroke.
• Mittens are warmer than gloves.
• Wear a hat; most body heat is lost through the top of the head.
• Cover you mouth with scarves to protect your lungs from directly inhaling the extremely cold air.
Winter driving tips:
• If you must travel, take public transportation whenever possible. If you must use a car, take winter driving seriously. Travel by daylight, and keep others informed of your schedule. Drive with extreme caution; never try to save time by driving fast or using back-road shortcuts.
• Make sure you car has fuel, and is equipped with chains or snow tires
• Keep you car “winterized” with antifreeze. Carry a “winter car kit” that includes a windshield scaper, flashlight, tow chain or rope, shovel, tire chains, a blanket, a bag of sand or salt, a fluorescent distress flag and an emergency flare in case you are trapped in a winter storm. Keep extra outerwear and pre-packaged food in the car. Make sure you windshield wipers are working properly and there is windshield washer fluid in the car.
If a blizzard traps you in your car:
• Pull off the highway; stay calm and remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you.
• Turn on your emergency flashers and hang a distress flag fro the radio aerial or window.
• Do not set out on foot unless you can see a building close by where you know you can take shelter. Be careful; distances are distorted by blowing snow. A building may seem close but be too far to walk in deep snow.
• If you run the engine to keep warm, open a window slightly for ventilation. This will protect you from possible carbon monoxide poisoning. Periodically clear away snow from the exhaust pipe.
• Exercise to maintain body heat (by clapping and moving around) but avoid over exertion. In extreme cold, use road maps, seat covers and floor mats for insulation. Huddle with passengers and use your coat as a blanket.
• Never let everyone in the car sleep at one time. One person should look out for the rescue crews.
• Be careful not to use up battery power. Balance electrical energy needs — the use of lights, heat and radio — with supply.
• At night, turn on the inside dome light, so work crews can spot you.

Feds to host Ringwood forum on Ford cleanup
Sunday, February 10, 2013

The Record
Two of the nation’s top environmental officials are scheduled to attend a public meeting in Ringwood on Monday where residents say they are growing weary of waiting for a cleanup of the 500-acre site where Ford Motor Co. dumped contaminated waste more than 40 years ago.
Mathy Stanislaus, the assistant administrator from the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and Judith Enck, administrator of the EPA’s Region 2, are planning to hear residents’ concerns and recommendations at a meeting at a local church.
“We want to get back to the community and give them the opportunity to raise concerns with senior officials,” said EPA spokeswoman Bonnie Bellow.
Ford Motor Co. used the Ringwood site as a dumping ground in the late 1960s for paint sludge and industrial waste generated by a manufacturing plant it operated at the time in Mahwah. During that period, the factory produced millions of gallons of paint sludge.
While the cleanup has removed tens of thousands of tons of paint sludge and tainted soil, contamination remains in some areas.

Car Slams Into Bus On East Ridgewood Avenue – No Injuries Reported
February 10,2013

Ridgewood NJ, A NJ Transit bus destined for New York City was rear ended by a Mercedes SUV on East Ridgewood Avenue near South Pleasant Avenue late Saturday evening. The bus driver and his six (6) passengers all escaped injury, as did the Mercedes SUV driver.
Ridgewood Police Department patrol officers directed traffic at the scene while members of the Ridgewood Fire Department attended to a minor fluid spill, and disconnected the SUV’s battery to minimize the risk of fire.
Damage to the bus was limited to the left rear bumper and fender; the Mercedes appeared to have been totaled and was removed by flatbed tow truck.

Ridgewood NJ, By now many of you are aware the Village Council members have given their preliminary OK to the plan, part of a statewide initiative to create a smoke-free environment in all public parks.
One Question , whats next ,banning Slurpee’s , large sugary drinks , loud dogs, big cars , seat belts for dogs in cars , haven’t we all had enough of this nonsense all ready? Or has person freedom become something to fear ?
Any doubt with anything I say just ask Mayor Bloomberg . Lets face it there is virtually nothing you can do in your life that wont raise eyebrows with someone .
Any chance anyone even remembers that personal freedom means personal responsibility . Our country was founded on the idea of limits to government intervention on ones personal life . I know that’s a very old fashioned idea.
With the absolute mess we find ourselves in in this country , do we really want to concede all our personnel freedom of choice to a government that on a good day barely knows what time it is . Do you really want the Village Council telling how to live your life?
So again I ask what are they going to ban next?
