Happy Father’s Day from the Ridgewood blog
the Ridgewood Blog says a Big Thank You on this Memorial day
On this Memorial Day weekend, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who are grieving. May we, as Abraham Lincoln famously said, “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain–that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom–and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
The Ridgewood blog would like to challenge our readers and all residents to read as many books as possible for 2020, Lets build a smarter Village!

Ridgewood NJ, Last night at the Village Council meeting, Rich Calbi gave an outstanding (and comprehensive) report on how the Water Company is keeping our water safe and is complying with (and exceeding) EPA guidelines. He is a great guy, very thorough and although he was speaking about scientific details, it was easy to understand. Also, it is very helpful that the powerpoint slides are broadcast on the live stream to us at home. I have been at meetings where you cannot even begin to see what is projected on those relatively small screens. Thank you Mr. Calbi for your hard work on our behalf.

Reader says We Need Cameras
Yes, placing at least a temporary camera in places where problems have been identified would make a lot of sense and cost very little. We are so lucky to have curbside trash pickup FREE roughly twice a month. There is no excuse for this laziness and yes, commission of a crime. The trouble is that once trash begins to accumulate, it’s seen as a free zone. Not true. We should all care about our parks.
