BRIDGEWATER — A family was ordered to pay a school district more than $38,000 after it was discovered that a student was living outside of the district’s lines, the Commissioner of Education recently determined.
The parents, identified only in state documents as “M.K.,” were ordered to pay a full year’s tuition, or $38,329.20 to the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District.
But even wealthiest counties can improve in some ways while the poorest do surprisingly well in some aspects of education, health, and safety
Advocates for Children of New Jersey’s annual Kids Count report on the state’s counties has a different look, but the same basic message: wealth makes a difference when it comes to the education, health, and safety of children.
The organization released today its 2017 profiles and rankings based on a dozen measures of child wellbeing. Rather than give each county an overall rank, ACNJ rated the counties in four areas: economics, health, safety, and education.
There is no top-ranked county this year — last year, Morris took that spot. But the three counties with the best ratings in all those areas were also the counties with the highest median incomes for families with children: Morris, Somerset, and Hunterdon. Meanwhile, Cumberland, Essex, and Camden counties had the three lowest ratings, and all have median incomes below the state average, with Cumberland’s being the lowest at about $52,600. Cumberland had been ranked last in the recent past.

Ridgewood NJ, A 9-year old boy riding his bike escaped serious injury after being hit by a vehicle exiting the Kings Plaza Shopping Center located at 112 North Maple Avenue, Ridgewood on Sunday evening, 07/09. Ridgewood PD issued two (2) summonses the driver involved in the incident. The youth, who complained of an ankle injury, was observed being walked to a Ridgewood EMS ambulance waiting nearby. Ridgewood FD also responded to the scene.
Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood blog received these safety tips courtesy of Ramon Hache ,Keller Williams Realty . Summer is the season for grilling. However, an average of 8,900 home fires involving grills, hibachis, or barbecues occur each year in the United States. In 2014, 16,600 patients went to emergency rooms due to injuries involving grills, and 1,600 children under age five suffered thermal burns, caused by touching a hot surface. Safety aside, grilling-related fires cause about $118 million in property damage each year.
Clearly, it’s important to keep safety in the forefront when enjoying all that your grill has to offer.
Here are a few common sense reminders on keeping your family and your home safe:
Keep the grill well away from your home and deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
Remove grease or fat buildup from the grill and in trays below the grill.
Never leave your grill unattended, and keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill at all times.
Always make sure the lid of a gas grill is open before lighting.
If using starter fluid for a charcoal grill, use only charcoal starter fluid, and never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquid to the fire. Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.
If your charcoal grill has an electric starter, use an extension cord.
When finished grilling, let the coals cool completely, then dispose in a metal container.

Ridgewood NJ, according to State Farm Insurance U.S. drivers are just as likely to have a claim involving a collision with deer, elk or moose than they were last year, according to new claims data from State Farm. The odds drivers will have a claim from hitting one of those animals is 1 out of 169, the same as it was in 2014.
In Bergen County the Deer seem to be everywhere. An estimated 1.25 million claims happened in the past year resulting from these collisions. There’s no silver bullet to keep large animals like deer, elk, and moose off highways and roads. Some drivers insist that deer whistles work, though the Information Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) says no scientific evidence supports that claim.
Studies and field tests show that roadside reflectors do reduce crash frequency somewhat, but as of now there’s no foolproof method to keep animals off our roads.
What may help:
Stay alert. Pay attention to ‘deer crossing’ signs. Scan down the road and off to each side. Be especially watchful in areas near woods and water. If you see one deer, there are probably several others nearby.
Be especially vigilant during peak season. Though collisions can happen any time of year, fall is peak time for deer-car crashes because it’s both hunting and mating seasons, forcing deer to roam outside their normal territory.
Use headlights smartly. At night, use high-beams when possible to illuminate the road’s edges. If you see a deer far ahead, flick the brights on and off multiple times. Deer tend to fixate on headlights, so flashing them may cause the animal to scurry away.
Watch out at mealtime. Pay particular attention between dusk and dawn, when these animals usually venture out to eat.
Brake as necessary. If you think you have time to avoid hitting the animal, reduce speed, tap the brakes to warn drivers behind you, and sound your horn. If there’s no vehicle close behind you, brake hard.
Don’t swerve. If a collision seems inevitable, don’t veer off to avoid the animal. Your risk of injury may be greater if you do.
Maintain control of the vehicle. Report the collision to the police and your insurance company.
Always obey speed limits and wear seat belts.

The amount of conflicting advice there is on how to bring up happy and successful children can make your head spin.
Parents often find themselves questioning how strict they should be with youngsters and how much independence they should allow them.
Now a new book by psychologists says our approach is wrong – because we’re training them to be computers, reports NPR.
Ridgewood NJ, Neighborhood electric and communication services were disrupted when a large tree fell on High Street in Ridgewood during an early morning storm on Saturday, 07/08. Ridgewood Police and Fire department units responded. No injuries were reported and property damages appeared to have been minimal.
A plan to build a new passenger rail tunnel — and repair the existing one that’s now falling apart — will cost nearly $13 billion and could, perhaps, be completed in late 2026, according to a draft environmental impact statement released Thursday.
That $13 billion represents an increase over the original estimate of the project, which was routinely pegged by officials as somewhere in the $8 to $10 billion range.
The original estimates were “a very conceptual number,” based on a project that was, at the time, only 1 percent designed but is now at 10 percent design, said John Porcari, interim executive director of the Gateway Program Development Corporation.
“My kids tried RBSA softball camp for the first time and LOVED it. I highly recommend it. The counselors taught them great skills. The great thing is it was only $90 a week. You can also pay extra for private lessons for hitting, fielding and pitching.”
I’m writing today on behalf of the Ridgewood Village Council regarding modifications to the Glenwood Road traffic patterns as described in the Memorandum of Record DOT Docket No. 06-2017CM Warren Ave (Brookside Avenue) dated May 31, 2017. It is the Village Council’s position that closing the roadway in its entirety, or limiting to one-way traffic, would have a severe and deleterious impact on the immediate surrounding residential community and the nearby Ho-Ho-Kus business district.
Restricting Glenwood traffic flow would force other, already stressed, Ridgewood roadways to absorb displaced traffic to the detriment of Village residents and visitors. It’s important to understand Ridgewood is a walking community and how additional traffic on congested streets might compromise the safety of pedestrians, especially children walking to and from Village schools. Additionally, Glenwood area commuters may choose to abandon the Ho-Ho-Kus train station and instead opt to utilize the Ridgewood train station, an area now choked with excessive traffic. A recent traffic study of the Ridgewood train trestle underpass indicated more than 18,000 vehicles traversing the two-lane roadway daily. The roadway has far surpassed maximum vehicular capacity and, even with limited sidewalks, children walk daily to and from three area schools. Closure, even partially, would land lock the entire section of Ridgewood residences and force extended travel onto the only other east-west roadway, West Glen Avenue, which is already strained. Undue hardships will be placed on Ridgewood residents with school aged children living east of the Glenwood Road “S” hill as they will be forced into a longer, more circuitous, drive to school. Insurmountable economic hardships will be shouldered by small mom & pop stores operating in the Ho-Ho-Kus business district; data suggests more than 30% of shop patrons live above the Glenwood Road “S” hill. Any change to the traffic pattern will have an adverse impact on area small businesses.
The Village does acknowledge current site conditions present safety concerns resulting from substandard signage, roadway markings and enforcement. Before altering the current traffic flow, the Village proposes a less impactful and less costly approach by implementing the following safety measures:
o Enhanced signage placed prominently and before oversized vehicles enter the roadway
o Increasing fines and enforcement for oversized vehicles in violation
o Painting double yellow lines on the Glenwood Road “S” hill defining lanes and for traffic calming
o No U-turn signs and No Stopping or Turning on RR Tracks
o Increased fines and enforcement for reckless driving within a designated proximity to railroad tracks
o Erecting height restriction barriers o Observations suggest the existing barriers, used for when a train is arriving, be extended the full width across the roadway
Ridgewood is open to any additional suggestions your team may have to help maintain the current traffic pattern while ensuring the area remains safe for everyone. Perhaps a trial period of suggested modifications that could be monitored and increased later if necessary without implementing the drastic changes proposed. This approach will allow stakeholders to determine the effectiveness of these measures and will provide additional information about how to proceed.
In closing, I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful attention to the many comments from Ridgewood residents pertaining to this matter.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration of the Village’s concerns and our proposal.
