Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Water is seeking to identify the companies behind the chemical contamination of its water supply know as PFAS .
PFAS do not occur naturally, but are widespread and extremely persistent in the environment. They are man-made chemicals that have been used to make carpets, clothing, fabrics for furniture, paper packaging for food and other materials (e.g., cookware) resistant to water, grease or stains. They are also used for firefighting at airfields and in a number of industrial processes.
While Ridgewood Water is working to identify specific sources, and has retained a California-based law firm to potentially sue over the expensive costs of meeting new state and federal water quality standards.
Rome is Burning and we are writing story books about a leantoo shed close to not having any heat nor light , a filthy facility that the NJ Transit should rebuild in brick and
offer some protection from the elements ; that can be cleaned ,then locked at night like a real town.We need to check the water in this town..it’s getting a bit to wobbly intellect
wise. They keep shifting the happy together talk to avoid dealing with the real issues that are hard to address manage and take intelligent approach to.Happy Holidays Ridgewood a town worth fighting for …2019 needs a more realistic plan on cost containment and cancelation of massive Hudson st garage plans in order to cut our longer term losses .
Ridgewood NJ, after the recent flap at the Winterfest over cutting in line by “VIP’s “, the Ridgewood blog suggests the Village of Ridgewood set up a database and establish a list of Ridgewood “VIP’s ” .
Since the Village seems to be the home for so many “VIP’s” , the list could contain the names and the reasons for the VIP status . After all most of the public is often unaware as to the importance of many of the so called “VIP’s ” and a documented with explanation with foot notes would be extremely helpful .
The list could be called the ” Village of Ridgewood :Legend in your own mind ” , a commission could be convened to create the list and those that make the cut could be given a letter of recommendation signed by the Village Council and a medal or crown to wear so as not to confuse the common folk.
This would entitle the “VIP’s” to cut in line ,drive 50 mph over the speed limit ,get in car accidents and not have their picture taken , make money off of taxpayer grants, get below market rents for high density housing , hang out with the 3 Amigos ,philander, be a bigot, and get to call other residents derogatory names from the dais .
The public would also be asked to defend the VIP’s no matter how rude , stupid or abusive their behavior maybe. The public would also be called on to make excessive excuses for the VIP’s who the rules no longer apply to.
If the public does not comply the VIP’s can act belligerent and attack anyone the calls out their bad behavior .
Ridgewood NJ, just a reminder there should be no expectation of privacy in the public domain, and the rules are for everyone ,”VIP’s ” and all ,so let all try this holiday season to slow down , stop texting , call an Uber , say hello to our neighbors ,look both ways before we cross and of course treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves .

Ridgewood NJ, We are well into the 2018 holiday season. Black Friday is over. Cyber Monday is over. But holiday shopping is far from over. The seasonal shopping tidal wave won’t break for weeks to come, and this means you can expect big crowds at the malls and frequent home deliveries to online shoppers.
Unfortunately, this season of giving also inspires those who mistakenly think it’s a season of taking. During this time of year, package thieves target neighborhoods, seeking to steal unattended packages delivered while you’re away or at work. Our patrols are on the lookout, but there are a few steps you can take to avoid becoming the victim of package theft.

Dr. Roberto Rivera was also acquitted of a charge of creating a risk of widespread harm, while the jury was hung on two weapons charges. Authorities arrested Rivera in November 2012 after a raid of his home uncovered large amounts of materials that can be used to make bombs and instructions on how to construct homemade explosives. Two assault rifles and ammunition had also been seized. During the two-week trial, prosecutors said Rivera started researching chemicals and homemade explosives after being radicalized by the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011.
