Ridgewood NJ, The Sponsor Show is the most popular annual event at the Ridgewood Art Institute, providing sponsors an opportunity to acquire a beautifully framed original painting, from the collection donated by our outstanding artists and instructors. In addition to wonderful landscapes and still lifes, several of our professional artists offer the chance to commission a portrait or pet painting. On the night of the Gala Drawing, the name of each sponsor is randomly called to choose their favorite painting. For only $275, become a sponsor and begin creating your painting “wish list” at our Opening Reception, or anytime during the exhibition dates. Proceeds from the show go directly toward the Institute’s efforts to promote fine arts in our community.

“C’mon James – you’ve gotta be kidding !
Our Village leaders have years of tried and true methods to solve problems:
1) If you’re a friend of a Village employee, Council or Board member you either:
A) get to come up with the solution that helps you (Think “Horse farm”), and/or
B) deny there’s a problem and do what you want (think wall in front of the Greek place), and/or
2) If you’re an employee, you:
A) either try bullying people (think Roberta); and/or
B) take what you can get, then say your sorry and keep some of the profits (think Parking meter collector).
Now along comes you, preaching heresy and wanting to use facts to solve a problem! Just think of what would happen to our well-oiled Village methodologies if we used facts and logic? “
“Free hugs in Van Nests Park tomorrow at 10:00 am for those disappointed by Mueller finding no Russian collusion. Hope you realize the premise was ridiculous.”

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Fire Department personnel responded to the 300 block of Cedar Avenue for a reported electrical fire in the attic of a two-family home. Although the small fire had been extinguished prior to the arrival of fire fighters, heavy smoke filled the home’s attic area and required the use of a smoke ejector to clear it.
An adult male resident of the home complained of smoke inhalation symptoms and was evaluated by Ridgewood EMTs. It is not known whether he required ambulance transportation to a local hospital. The fire appeared to have originated in an electrical power strip and extended into a nearby wall. Property damage was minimal.
