Ridgewood NJ, It turns out much to our disappointment   that vodka isn’t an effective substitute for hand sanitizer, which is apparently a thing that some people have been asking vodka makers. If all you have is vodka, just wash your hands normally and enjoy a nice drink.

Village Manager poo poos the installation of poopie bag dispensers in Village parks

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Watch and listen to Ridgewood Village Manager Heather Mailander’s publicly televised, 4 1/2 minute diatribe concerning the proposed purchase and installation of dog waste (poopie) bag dispensers in selected Village parks. Clearly this Village employee (yes an employee; not an elected official) does not like dogs and made every attempt to poo-poo the implementation of a simple program that many nearby municipalities have fully embraced. Thankfully, the Village Council did not heed her advice and will continue their discussion of poopie bag dispenser installations at a later date.
