Painmaikapuka, the great rock, Glen Rock

Researched and written by historian Kevin W. Wright, 2015.

Glen Rock NJ, ever wonder where the rock in Glen Rock came from according to the Bergen Historical Society, the rocky residue of glaciation comes in all shapes and sizes, from sand grains and clay particles up to abandoned boulders of often wondrous size. The most conspicuous glacial erratics in our neighborhood, seated in isolated splendor, earned names and had their likenesses published on postcards. Such is the story of the lonely stone-faced giant, Painmaikapuka, better known as the Glen Rock.

Glen Rock Officials Condemn Swastika Incident At School

The Mayor and Council condemn any and all acts of hate. Hate speech and hate in any form is not welcome in Glen Rock.

While the Superintendent and BOE are the appropriate lead on the response in the schools to this incident, we have offered our help and support in any way that they deem necessary.

In the wake of this incident, we urge our community to come together; for us all to speak with our children and our neighbors; to discuss the impact of our words and actions on others, whether or not the intent is malicious.

As a governing body, we will continue to work with the Superintendent and the schools as appropriate, to reinforce the culture of empathy and inclusion that is the hallmark of our community in Glen Rock

the Fly spy’s Ridgewood Councilman at Glen Rock Pride Event

61745262 10218795210860302 4938768673033682944 n

the fly has noticed Ridgewood councilman, who left the Ridgewood Pride event very soon after it began (and long before the flag was raised on the new pole) , went to the Glen Rock Pride event where he was photographed in a bromance embrace with Hans Lehman, husband of Jan Philips. So nice that this elected official is more interested in the event at another town than the one he swore to represent.

Reader Comments On Night Time Solicitations in Glen Rock

” No permits should be issued by police to allow people to be bothered in their own homes. I would jump a mile if my doorbell rang after 8 PM when I wasn’t expecting anyone. I would not respond, but then there’s the chance that your house is being cased to see if anyone is home, so supposedly you’re better off yelling “No thanks!” Why should the burden fall on a person in his or her own home? All such permit requests should be denied, including political movements and fundraising. I believe this will eventually happen and I hope it’s not because of some awful incident. Sorry, but it’s a new world and the sanctity of the privacy of one’s home must be respected. Fundraising efforts should be directed elsewhere. “

Glen Rock Police Warns of Continued PSEG Scams

48371286 2530060620368069 5911190156936740864 n1

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Glen Rock NJ, the Glen Rock Police Department reminds you that Public service, electric, gas and other utility scams continue to be reported to the GRPD. Please educate your friends and family. These cases are next to impossible to investigate and usually involve suspects outside the United States. Our best defence is helping others recognize the red flags and prevention. If in doubt, call the service company directly using a phone number off your bill or call the GRPD and ask us to take a look. These suspects use fear and pressure to try and demand you act without stopping to think a moment. If you feel uncomfortable, take a minute to check on what the person on the phone is telling you. This goes for anyone who comes to your home or business as well. High pressure tactics are designed to get people to act before thinking things through. Be safe.

Report Fraudulent Activity : If you think you may have been a victim of a scam, call us at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734) and then file a report with your local police
