Ridgewood NJ, Age Discrimination is Live and well in Ridgewood. Earlier today the Village announced that it was closing the Glen School Pickleball Courts and the Tennis Courts until March 22. However they will keep the tennis courts at Somerville open for Tennis only. The PB Courts are frequented by many people. However many seniors use the Courts. Its their only form of exercise during Covid. This was done by the village in an arbitrary and capricious manner without any public comment. The fact that other like venues remain open is discriminatory. The fact that lacrosse soccer baseball and tennis are allowed to remain open clearly is a contradiction. The Ridgewood Pickleball Association has 153 members The bulk are seniors. This unilateral action by the Mayor not the Recreation Dept. clearly indicates that she has no concern for the Seniors in her community. Please reach out to the Mayor and have her rescind this order

Ridgewood NJ, responding to reports of juveniles congregating on the parking garage’s top level.  Recently, a report was received of juveniles hanging over the ledge on the top deck taking photos/videos.  Someone on social media reported that his employees were hit by snowballs thrown from the top deck.  Ugly as it might seem (with respect to appearance and expense), is it time to consider the installation of safety fencing around the top deck’s ledge?

A mistake that many of us tend to do is presuming that disasters will never happen to us. We’re all guilty of thinking of natural disasters such as hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, such as the recent outbreak of the coronavirus, as far-away problems that we never have to deal with. However, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. With such disasters, the likeability of lacking access to freshwater, food, or electricity is extremely high. There are many steps that you can do to prepare yourself for these misfortunate events.
