>Blog Readers look for Answers on Downtown Parking
>
From my understanding Ridgewood has some parking issues. Well I propose instead of placing ugly parking meters on residential blocks close to downtown that we place a ticket machine
at the ends of each block.
at the ends of each block.
Why build a parking deck when you have space already?

>FIELDS MEMBER-AT-LARGE NAMED
>Ridgewood resident Jeff Gluck was appointed by the Board of Education to serve as a member-at-large on the Village’s Fields Committee. Gluck will serve a three-year term.
Mr. Gluck’s public comments from the 9/13/2006 Village Council Meeting:
Jeff Gluck, said that he and his wife moved in six years ago. They were very pleased to be able to take advantage of the programs offered for their children at the Glen School. He said that he objects to the use of the field from 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. because this is family time and time to do homework. He stated that as a child he played various sports but when the sun went down, everyone went home and he doesn’tunderstand why that concept has been lost. He said that the policy should be no practicing or games when the sun goes down.

During a new show on “Weather,” scientists from the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia will actually make a cloud and rain indoors. Another highlight is “The Good, the Bad and the Bugly,” an interactive show from Horizon pest control experts. Other demonstrations include BotBall, a soccer game played by prototype robots constructed by a team of RHS students, and how cocoa beans are made into chocolate by a Wayne Hills High School student. Visitors are also invited to bring rocks of unknown origin for the resident mineralogist to identify.Super Science Saturday again will feature such traditional favorites as the Great Paper Airplane Contest, making your own creations at the “tinker table” and live model rock launches on the high school football field.

Super Science Saturday is a non-competitive event designed for fun, learning and the appreciation of science and technology in our daily lives.For more information on Super Science Saturday, including ideas for science presentations or to sign up to exhibit, please contact www.supersciencesaturday.org.

>the fly on the wall wonders…..
>Parks and Recreation Master Plan – Draft Report Received by Village Officials But Not Yet Available For Public Review
The Ridgewood Village Council and the Board of Education (BOE) jointly authorized a study of all Village and BOE owned athletic fields and parks by Schoor DePalma, Inc., a leading engineering and consulting firm.
The project’s objective was to review all active recreation sites and conservation areas within Ridgewood. This “master plan” process also reviewed all currently offered athletic and recreation programs, including numbers of participants.
Schoor DePalma representatives have made recommendations about future needs, suggested changes in use, and potential property developments in a report that has just been received by the Village Manager’s office.
Although this “master plan” report was paid for by taxpayers, the Village Manager’s office has indicated that it will not be made available for public review until members of the Village Council and Board of Education get a chance to see it.
The fly wonders: 1) How long taxpayers will be kept waiting, 2) If it’s legal to keep the report under wraps just because our elected officials haven’t seen it yet, and 3) What changes in use and property developments were recommended.
>Seasonal Employment
>Applications are being sought for the many summer positions available with the Parks and Recreation Department including Day Camp Director, Day Camp Counselors, Graydon Pool Lifeguards, Concession Attendants, Security Attendants, and Badge Sale Attendants.
