Ridgewood NJ, Al Roker CoHost of NBC’ TODAY SHOW, will sign his new book: Ruthless Tide at Bookends in Ridgewood Tuesday, May 22nd at 6:00pm.
Ruthless Tide, The Heroes and Villains of the Johnstown Flood, America’s Astonishing Gilded Age Disaster by Al Roker
A gripping new history celebrating the remarkable heroes of the Johnstown Flood—the deadliest flood in U.S. history—from NBC host and legendary weather authority Al Roker
Central Pennsylvania, May 31, 1889: After a deluge of rain—nearly a foot in less than twenty-four hours—swelled the Little Conemaugh River, panicked engineers watched helplessly as swiftly rising waters threatened to breach the South Fork dam, built to create a private lake for a fishing and hunting club that counted among its members Andrew Mellon, Henry Clay Frick, and Andrew Carnegie. Though the engineers telegraphed neighboring towns on this last morning in May warning of the impending danger, residents—factory workers and their families—remained in their homes, having grown used to false alarms.
At 3:10 P.M., the dam gave way, releasing 20 million tons of water. Gathering speed as it flowed southwest, the deluge wiped out nearly everything in its path and picked up debris—trees, houses, animals—before reaching Johnstown, a vibrant steel town fourteen miles downstream. Traveling 40 miles an hour, with swells as high as 60 feet, the deadly floodwaters razed the mill town—home to 20,000 people—in minutes. The Great Flood, as it would come to be called, remains the deadliest in US history, killing more than 2,200 people and causing $17 million in damage.
In Ruthless Tide, Al Roker follows an unforgettable cast of characters whose fates converged because of that tragic day, including John Parke, the engineer whose heroic efforts failed to save the dam; the robber barons whose fancy sport fishing resort was responsible for modifications that weakened the dam; and Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, who spent five months in Johnstown leading one of the first organized disaster relief efforts in the United States. Weaving together their stories and those of many ordinary citizens whose lives were forever altered by the event, Ruthless Tide is testament to the power of the human spirit in times of tragedy and also a timely warning about the dangers of greed, inequality, neglected infrastructure, and the ferocious, uncontrollable power of nature.

NJ doesn’t “Hate Business”
They just love to TAKE and SPEND.
They TAKE from those that have (like robbing banks because that’s where the money is) and then they SPEND to get votes, enriching themselves and their friends along the way.
You see as soon as you believe you can TAKE from those that have, there is nothing to stop you from TAKING more and more. All that is needed is a new excuse to TAKE.
Even ultra liberal NY gov Cuomo is super-pro-business…
Just look at the “START-UP NY” program implemented by some of the biggest liberals in the country…
No taxes for 10 years, other tax incentives, direct access to academic research for free, etc, etc.
.
This is typical liberal M/O/ … say one thing in public (Big Business is bad) then do something totally opposite usually to line the pockets of your friends. (See also global warming).
.
Even RW engages in this hypocrisy(see Aronsohn, et. al.)
.
But NJ politicians are too stupid to support business… they actually believe the liberal utopian lie.

Ridgewood NJ, I can’t imagine there being much else to do on this rainy Saturday, so why not stop by the big multi-family garage sale at the Ridgewood Co-op and brighten a gloomy day by getting great deals on kids’ toys, gear, clothes, games, books, housewares and more—plus you’ll be supporting the Ridgewood Co-op!
The sale runs from 9 AM – 3 PM, despite the crummy weather! Address is: 100 Dayton Street, right in town.
I have lived in NJ all my life and am self employed. My business is not limited to this state, and most of it is in other states. When I discuss the taxes and anti business attitudes of this blue state, they always wonder how anyone can survive and prosper here. I explain to them how our politicians are owned by the unions, and they hand out big salaries pensions and medical benefits that are unsustainable . They chased most of the folks out of the state who had disposable income with the estate tax. Despite it being changed to concur with federal tax amounts, it’s still unfair because unless you give money to a spouse or child, it’s taxable. I will bequeath my $$$$ to nieces and nephews , and the only way nnj can’t tax me is if I change my residence to Florida (which I will)
When the state is run by elected officials who have never run a business they are clueless. Prieto is a building inspection official , Sarlo is employed by the biggest highway contractor (beneficiary of tax $$) and Sweeney is a union steelwork. Granny Weinberg thought she was the smartest one in the room and invested her money with Bernie madoff. That explains the state finances
I think it is too late for NJ to recover and our house will be on the market very soon. NJ offers a lot to people who have good paying jobs but the high taxes just don’t make sense unless you are using the public school system. The debt burden is out of control and while It is not right that the state has not contributed to the public pension system, the public pension system needs an overhaul. Those promises and deals the union struck were unsustainable in the long run. Begin by eliminating the pension abuse of padding in the final years, payouts for unused sick time and eliminating eligibility for part time employees. Long gone are the days when public employees’salaries where lower to compensate for delayed remuneration in the form of a generous defined pension and medical benefits.
Ridgewood NJ, 2018 Bergen County Historic Preservation Awards – The Dedicated Life honoring Isabella Altano, recipient 2018 Preservation Leadership Award, posthumously. Isabella worked tirelessly to save the historic Zabriskie-Schedler Jersey Dutch framed house.
“Isabella Cirilli Altano, 63, Ridgewood, New Jersey. Born in Molfetta, Italy, she came to America in 1969 at 15, settling in Jersey City, where she met her future husband, Brian Altano. The couple has been married for 39 years. Isabella earned an A.A. from Bergen Community College (B.C.C.), a B.A. from Columbia University, and a Masters in Architecture from Pratt Institute. She practiced architecture in Bergen County, specializing in educational facilities and hospitals. She was also an adjunct professor of Design at B.C.C., where she taught for 20 years. An indefatigable community activist, she spearheaded the drive to preserve the Zabriskie Schedler House in Ridgewood and have a park constructed on the property. She was also on the Board of Directors of the League of Women Voters of Bergen County and a member of the Ridgewood Planning Board and the town’s historic commission.”
Early (Dec. 2016) detection, and accurate characterization, on this blog, of the early stages of Voigt’s politically-motivated demonization of Knudsen and Sedon prepared Ridgewood for what was to come during this past campaign. Subequent exposure by this blog of the coordinated plans and behavior of Voigt, the three amigos (plus Sonnenfeld), Vagianos, and the others mentioned, ensured that Ridgewood residents would stay “in the know” and avoid the enormous mistake of voting for Harwin or Willett. THAT SAID: Absent the salutory intervention ofTheRidgewoodBlog.com, radical progressive tactics would have been successful in deforming Ridgewood’s local political scene and Voigt would now be planning to enjoy his upcoming stint as our mayor. We are really very lucky that free speech is prevailing here. Don’t take it for granted.
