What To Do If You’ve Experienced An Accident Because Of A Rideshare Driver
When it comes to dealing with car accidents, it gets very stressful, more so if it is an accident that involves a rideshare driver. As soon as the accident happens, you get into shock; therefore, it might be challenging to think straight. It is not easy to understand an accident from a rideshare angel. When you get involved in an accident, as much as it is unexpected, try to remain calm. With rideshare, there is no guarantee that you will get to your destination safely. After getting involved with a rideshare driver, the steps you take are essential since they may affect your overall health and your ability to recover compensation.

Village of Ridgewood : information on the oppressive heat and humid weather that will continue through this weekend
Dear Ridgewood Blog,
We would like to share information on the current oppressive heat and humid weather that will continue through this weekend.
Local Cooling Centers –
Ridgewood Library – 201/670-5600
BC Administration Building, Hackensack, NJ – 201/336-7300
NW Bergen Senior Center, 46-50 Center St., Midland Park – 201/445-5690
The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a Heat Advisory…which is in effect until 8 am EDT Saturday. An Excessive Heat Watch has also been issued. This Excessive Heat Watch is in effect from Saturday morning throughSunday evening.
* Heat index values into this evening…100 to 103.
* Heat index values Friday…100 to 105 degrees.
* Heat index values Saturday…around 105 degrees.
* Heat index values Sunday…around 105 degrees.
* Timing…highest heat indices in the mid to late afternoon.
* Impacts – The combination of the heat and humidity will increase the risk for heat related health issues…especially for the elderly…those with chronic health problems such as lung and heart disease…those working outdoors…and other heat sensitive groups of people.
Precautionary/preparedness actions – Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 100 to 104 degrees for two consecutive hours.
An Excessive Heat Watch means that the combination of heat and humidity could create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible…reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends…family members and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work the occupational safety and health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by Heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency…call 9 1 1.
We hope this information is helpful providing information that will make these next few day more comfortable for you.
Best,
Jeremy Kleiman, Coordinator
Office of Emergency Management

Sen. Paul Sarlo Bill Move to Limit Public Access to Information and Limit Transparency
The Record: Transparency first
STATE SEN. Paul Sarlo is concerned about what he calls “nosy-bodies.” We are more concerned about transparency. And a bill Sarlo introduced early this year would greatly limit the public’s access to police videotapes. This is a misguided idea.

Information before Ridgewood Parking Garage referendum vote was confusing
Information before referendum vote was confusing

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Details on garage were ‘confusing’
To the Editor:
When the village manager and council asked residents to vote on a non-binding resolution to build a parking garage, it did not tell voters what they voted on had little bearing on reality. We were told to look at the village website for a description of the garage, financial plans, the Walker study, etc. for facts before voting. The words “draft” was on the rendering and “preliminary” on the financials, so voters really didn’t know what they were voting on, yet the ballot was specific. On the basis of the wording on the ballot, residents by a 2-1 margin voted yes. The town was very careful to use the words “non-binding,” but I doubt many understood the ramifications, that nothing on the website, in the plans, in the financials was definite. Yet we were told just the opposite.
All the money spent on the plans and financials was only for an “idea” of what was planned. All the details, the explanations, the reasoning taxpayers would not be responsible because of the very detailed financial plan, were not accurate.
Residents were told time and again to look at the website for details before they voted. There was nothing “non-binding” about that. The picture on the “Vote Yes” signs for the garage was a partial rendering of the presentation to the public. Yet in a statement made on Facebook, both the manager and a council member said the vote was just to give an “idea” and in fact there was no decision about size, cost, etc. I don’t think voters knew when they voted. If there was no decision, why spend time, money and signs for this. The goal was to gauge public opinion, but the time, the signs, the letters urging the vote, was time better spent working with neighborhoods on more urgent matters.
It appears we have a council more dedicated to public relations than to good government. This is discouraging to say the least.
Mayor Aronsohn, in his recent Ridgewood News column, excoriated the author(s) of a flyer for what he characterized as inaccurate information. On the other hand, he sent a robo-call to residents urging them to vote yes, stating he was doing this at his own expense as a private citizen. So it was all right for him to do this, albeit he wasn’t anonymous (to his credit) with inaccurate information, but it was not all right for an anonymous flyer to be sent with accurate information? “Non-binding” usually refers to the number of votes pro and con, not on votes based on inaccurate information entirely. The council has turned this on end.
This is a further example of confusing information, vague ideas stated as facts, backpedaling, decisions made without public input. This is not transparency or good government. We deserve better.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all the unsatisfied neighborhoods got together to figure out a way to make our council and manager more transparent?
