Ridgewood NJ, Dogs are permitted at Habenickel. According to ordinance 212-29, dogs are only prohibited at Citizens Park, Graydon Park, Maple Park, Pleasant Park, Twinney Pond Park, Van Neste Park and Vets Field. Of course the RWD News had a photo of someone with a dog in Van Neste a week or two ago. And Aronsohn and Hauck had their dogs at Van Neste for some dog parade thing. So the rules are broken all the time. Was the kid badly hurt at Health Barn? Dog bite wounds can be very nasty. Dogs who bite are nasty.
You are correct that the dogs are permitted at Habernickel – but watch this how Paul, Roberta, Albert everyone laughed at a neighbor in front of over 100 residents and told her that she was breaking the law by walking her dog in that park.
Roberta flip-flops more than GW Bush. When the neighbor complaint that permitting kids in the passive area will affect her dog walking, they laughed at her because that suited them at that time to silence her. When HealthBarn wanted to install a dog feeding station for their marketing, Roberta allowed her, and they responded to a resident that “read the code, dogs are allowed”.
I think they lied to this speaker about dogs in the park as obviously from the above article they are!!! The laughter was the many many residence who came out to voice their concerns about this business and use the park. They crowd found it funny and were actually laughing at the past mayor and Roberta because apparently they do not know the rules…only the ones they break!!
I want to know if it was Stacey’d dog who bit the child and I want to know why Foberta Sonanfeld waited until the end of the meeting to bring it up. I know it was the managers report time but that could have been discussed sooner.
I heard there was a big dog bite at HealthBarn last week? Can anyone confirm? I heard it was just under the eyes ON the face and it was BAD?
Whose dog was it? ANtines? A dog bit often results in mandatory euthanasia of the animal. We deserve to know what happened.
Yes if someone can confirm that would be great. It is not shocking that it happened since habernickel park is now filled with healthbarn private clients. By this I mean children paying healthbarn directly. Not Ridgewood. Yet Roberta calls it a partnership. Yet it is just a tenant/ landlord relationship. No reports of profits from healthbarns business coming to Ridgewood parks and rec. I hope because of her ” so called ” partnership Stacy doesn’t advise her client to sue Ridgewood too!
And yes 9:42 the laughter was directed at Roberta and crew. Because dogs are allowed and there are many many families that come here just to walk their dogs freely. And they always clean up after themselves. More than I can say for the business and their ridiculous tent, blue tarp and signage
Did any official ever call Jim Abma to ask why Health Barn was no longer located there? And didn’t the council say in July that they were going to revise the ordinance to incorporate all municipal parks, as should be the case?
This is an issue?
Two beautiful dogs…I miss my German Shepard…
7:10 pm – lying to residents is. Isn’t it?
7:10. Lying is a huge issue! No?
Maybe you noticed the NJEA and the FOP is trying to criminally bribe Senate Leader Sweeney to advance legislation favored by unions. That’s a real issue. Dogs at a Village park? Not so much.
Well 8:37, if it was your child who was bitten on the face I think you would be a tad more concerned.
