“Damn it . The current council cannot stop the building. The current building was put into law by the Three Amigos. And it is a damn rotten lie to say the current council is negotiating for more building. They stopped the Kensignton Assisted Living Center from being built on Chestnut street. YOU YOU should go over and kiss their feet for stopping that. The Kensington corporate execs. tried very aggressively to build in Ridgewood. They tried a couple years ago; they came to a council meeting; and then a few months ago they tried again; they came to a council meeting with a big speech about how their business, assisted living center, would benefit Ridgewood businesses and give a lot of tax dollars to the Village of Ridgewood. But ya know what, Deputy Mayor Susan Knudsen stood strong and said NO NO NO. It would be too crowded for our Village. Deputy Mayor Knudsen and Sedon voted against the multi family housing a fewyears ago, but the Three Amigos outvoted them.”

Infants and younger children may not be physically able to escape a dangerous situation, such as a locked, parked car. In the summer heat, a car can quickly become extremely hot inside. Here are some steps you can take to beat the heat.

” I think the building owner OR the shopkeeper should take care of them. I don’t think that village employees need to do this. It is not that big a deal to get a flat of impatiens in May and plant them, water them a couple of times a week, come on. And as for the ones filled with weeds and cigarette butts, shame on the shopkeepers who can’t take five minutes in the morning to spruce them up.”
