Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Police Department: As Humans expand their living areas and Fox expand their range, contact between the two is inevitable. Most of the time, Fox go out of their way to avoid humans. In urban areas the Fox are changing their behavior because of human behavior.

The most serious problem is that the animals have become very use to people because they find food left on our properties. As they lose their fear of people they will approach people looking for more food, and may put themselves in hazardous situations that they would normally avoid. That means close garbage cans lids tightly, do not leave any food outside.

Researched and written by historian Kevin W. Wright, 2015.

Glen Rock NJ, ever wonder where the rock in Glen Rock came from according to the Bergen Historical Society, the rocky residue of glaciation comes in all shapes and sizes, from sand grains and clay particles up to abandoned boulders of often wondrous size. The most conspicuous glacial erratics in our neighborhood, seated in isolated splendor, earned names and had their likenesses published on postcards. Such is the story of the lonely stone-faced giant, Painmaikapuka, better known as the Glen Rock.

The Mayor and Council condemn any and all acts of hate. Hate speech and hate in any form is not welcome in Glen Rock.

While the Superintendent and BOE are the appropriate lead on the response in the schools to this incident, we have offered our help and support in any way that they deem necessary.

In the wake of this incident, we urge our community to come together; for us all to speak with our children and our neighbors; to discuss the impact of our words and actions on others, whether or not the intent is malicious.

As a governing body, we will continue to work with the Superintendent and the schools as appropriate, to reinforce the culture of empathy and inclusion that is the hallmark of our community in Glen Rock

the Fly spy’s Ridgewood Councilman at Glen Rock Pride Event

61745262 10218795210860302 4938768673033682944 n

the fly has noticed Ridgewood councilman, who left the Ridgewood Pride event very soon after it began (and long before the flag was raised on the new pole) , went to the Glen Rock Pride event where he was photographed in a bromance embrace with Hans Lehman, husband of Jan Philips.  So nice that this elected official is more interested in the event at another town than the one he swore to represent.
