A Catholic bishop is slamming the campaign of pro-abortion candidate Hillary Clinton over recent emails from her top campaign staff trashing Catholic voters.
Bishop Thomas Tobin says Hillary Clinton’s radical proportion position is one of the several issues he has problems with the Democratic candidate on but he’s also very concerned about the recently leaked emails from WikiLeaks that show top Clinton staffers calling Catholic voters “severely backwards.”
Tobin said the emails “reveal the existence of a toxic, anti-Catholic prejudice within the Clinton campaign.”
“The messages marginalize faithful Catholics, ridicule Catholic beliefs, and promote ideological division in the Church,” Bishop Tobin wrote. “They call for the ‘end of a middle-ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic Church.’ In light of the widespread anti-Christian, anti-Catholic prejudice rampant in our culture today, should we be at all surprised by this vitriol?”

Pilot program is meant to test out ride-hailing as a solution to last mile challenge
by Andrew J . Hawkins Oct 3, 2016, 10:56a
Lately, Uber has been positioning itself as the ultimate solution to the eternal challenge of shuttling people between transit hubs and their homes, also known as the “last mile challenge.” To that end, the ride-hail giant announced today that it struck a deal with the suburban town of Summit, New Jersey, to launch the state’s first subsidized commuter program.
Under the deal, Uber will offer free or extremely cheap rides to commuters who have struggled to find parking at Summit’s New Jersey Transit station. In exchange, the city, which is 30 miles from Manhattan, will subsidize the rides, paying Uber directly to cover the costs of the trips. The city says the deal will help free up nearly 100 parking spots at the transit station, as well as keep it from having to spend millions of dollars to build additional parking.
“As an alternative transportation option, ridesharing is not new,” said Summit Mayor Nora Radest in a statement. “But our program is the first of its kind in the United States to use ridesharing technology as a parking solution. Our innovation has the potential to shape how municipalities think about and implement parking options in the future.”
Speaking of pedestrians being struck, have you noticed that whoever compiles the police blotter appearing in The Ridgewood News and the Suburban News no longer provides any information about motor vehicle accidents, including incidents involving pedestrians who were seriously injured after being struck by vehicles? Obviously, someone is trying to hide the fact that traffic congestion in Ridgewood is getting worse. I wonder who is behind this deception and why. And why does The Ridgewood News in particular fail to find this information out from other sources? Or is one hand washing the other.

Ridgewood NJ, C. Augustus Jerez is a longtime New Jersey resident, raised in Montclair and presently residing in Butler. After graduating from William Paterson University with a degree in Business Administration, Mr. Jerez studied at the Art Students League in New York City. There he studied with, and was class monitor for, both Robert Beverly Hale and Gustav Rehberger. Studying with Mr. Hale, the human anatomy was the center of focus. Studying with Mr. Rehberger, the focus was on being able to capture the human form quickly while gracefully depicting its elegance and beauty through form and composition.
After several years of figurative study at the Art Student’s League, Mr. Jerez directed his attention to painting. At the Ridgewood Art Institute in Ridgewood, New Jersey, he studied and monitored Arthur Maynard’s evening oil painting classes. Mr. Maynard was a disciple of the famous League instructor, Frank Vincent Dumond. He guided Mr. Jerez through the process of putting life into his art, landscape, seascape, still life or portrait.
Mr. Jerez captures the life of the subject by identifying the essential components of an object or scene and depicting them in the most simplistic manner to convey complete realism without neglecting the artistic elements of form and strong composition. He uses prismatic color and light effects in his paintings to create a sense of distance and drama while capturing both the weather conditions and the specific time of day.
His paintings have been exhibited nationally and are in many private collections. He was an exhibiting member of the National Arts Club, a member of The Hudson Valley Art Association, The Ridgewood Art Institute and a life member of the Art Students League. He is the recipient of many awards including The Lambertville Historical Society’s Friend of the Arts Award, The Ridgewood Art Institute’s Weber Marine Award and The Hudson Valley Art Association’s Prestigious Frank Vincent Dumond Award. Mr.. Jerez now teaches at The Ridgewood Art Institute.
Self taught at a very early age, Ms. Sgambati began her formal art training at 21 years old when she took her first oil painting class at the Ridgewood Art Institute in Ridgewood, NJ. She knew immediately that this was her medium and studied the whole of the subject including still life, floral, landscape, seascape and portrait painting. Her principal teachers were Arthur Maynard and Frank Giovinazzo. Four years later she was invited to join the faculty and taught adult and teenage classes for seventeen years. Her move to Vernon Valley, NJ opened up an opportunity for extensive plein air painting. Other opportunities for outdoor study took place in Monhegan Island, ME, Warwick and Chester NY, the Pocono Mountains and Bucks County, PA, the Hudson River Valley and towns bordering the Hudson River. Landscape painting became her passion and her love for the Hudson River School painters is evident in her work. Elaine furthered her art education at the Art Students League of New York, which brought her the opportunity to exhibit in this area, mainly the Salmagundi Club, the World Trade Center, Lever House and ABC Studios. Sales and commissions followed this exposure as well as representation in major galleries in the tri-state area.
For more info on this exhibition, please call Ms. Sgambatti at 973 869-9914 or Mr. Jerez at 973 953-5027

Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Art Institute, a prominent player in the perpetuation of Classical Realism today is proud to host an oil painting demonstration by esteemed painter and instructor, John C. Traynor.
Traynor has won numerous awards, including the Frank Dumond Award from the Hudson Valley Art Association and the Medal of Honor from the Salamagundi Club, of which he is an honorary member. John was also recently inducted into the Delbarton School of Honors and he has reached the level of Copley Master from the Copely Society of Boston. John is a skilled painter of every genre: landscape, still life and portraiture.
His unique blend of realism and atmospheric impressionism sets his work apart. Many people can recognize a “Traynor Painting” by it’s brushstrokes and unique feeling. Part of his success is connecting emotionally with others through his work. People are often reminded of moments in their life or memories of the past. His use of light and atmospheric effect is found in many of the Old Master paintings, such as the American Tonality painters and the French Impressionist artists. There is a richness and fullness to his work that is “old world” yet contemporary with his unique style.
Please don’t miss this rare opportunity to observe the creative process at work. This free event is worthwhile to both artists and art enthusiasts. All are welcome.

Ridgewood NJ, This garbage can is overflowing with dog-poop that has been carefully bagged by the responsible owners. But the can is totally jammed.
The Dunham Trail which runs between Grove Street and Spring Avenue. It seems dog owners and dogs always get such a bad rap from the haters in town……but here you have a clear example that the owners are absolutely trying their best to pick up all the poop, even from a woodsy nature trail, yet no one empties the garbage can.
Whose responsibility is it to empty the cans in the Village parks?

These people purporting to having their children make “their own” statements need to better consider the long term impact of having their children make public fools of themselves. Remember how awkward we all felt when that kid stood up at the council meeting and stammered and fumbled his way through his parents speech for him as he told the adults on the dais that they were on the take? Where were his parents?? That will require years of deep therapy to overcome for sure.
Redshirting is the practice of postponing entrance into kindergarten of age-eligible children in order to allow extra time for socioemotional, intellectual, or physical growth. This occurs most frequently where children’s birthdays are so close to the cut-off dates that they are very likely to be among the youngest in their kindergarten class. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirting_(academic) )
A gifted athlete will always shine. Parents hold back because they think that one more year will make their kid a gifted athlete. Doesn’t work that way.
A ridgewood parent held his son back because the boy was small. Got news for them, dad is small too. One year won’t make him taller.
I have heard of parents holding back in 8th grade. Manipulating the system. And yes, taxpayers pay for the red shirting. One year 2 eighth grade best friends were magically held back at the expense of taxpayers. I don’t know if the gamble paid off. Never saw the names in the sports pages.
Do you think all day K will stop this problem? It is just another gift for a minority of taxpayers. Taxes are the gift that keep on giving.

A long-pending class action lawsuit brought by Midland Park, Wyckoff and Glen Rock against Ridgewood Water is scheduled for trial beginning Nov. 1 in state Superior Court in Hackensack.
Officials said last week that a final mediation attempt on Friday, Oct. 7, failed to produce a resolution, landing the case on the court docket.
