Ridgewood NJ, through the Duffield STEAM Initiative, the Epilog Fusion Laser machine was recently installed in the RHS Innovation and Makerspace Lab. This machine has a high-speed laser, as well as a large cutting area (24″x24″x10″), enabling students to create larger projects or work on multiple smaller projects at one time. The camera registration system gives users a real-time image of the engraving table so projects can be quickly and accurately positioned. Another great feature is the LED touch display which makes the laser easier to use and operate. And, this new laser can engrave and cut a variety of materials including wood, acrylic, fabric, cork, rubber, slate, glass, and more! The Epilog Fusion Laser will expand the fabrication capabilities of our facilities and programs. Stay tuned for more news from the Duffield STEAM Initiative.

Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Police Traffic Safety Bureau has had multiple incidents where we have made motor vehicle stops for unsafe driving and have found High School students without a license and in possession of only a permit. These students have been driving to and from school as well as driving around after school, without being accompanied by an Adult Supervising Driver, as required by law. After having conversations with the student drivers, as well as parents in the community and the school, we have found that this is considered an acceptable practice by some parents and students. We cannot stress enough how unsafe and illegal this is. We see an excessive amount of dangerous and risky driving associated with unlicensed drivers. We would like to take this opportunity to inform both the parents and the children the consequences of these actions.
