Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood blog has picked up chatter that the 2014 plan for a 90-foot baseball field was still on at Schedler.

According to Mayor Ramon Hach the plan for 90-foot baseball diamond was discarded in 2016. The Village Council decided to move forward with a new design that was proposed by the Schedler Ad hoc Committee in 2017. The new design includes a protective berm, a playground, a walking path, 44 parking spaces, restrooms and a 75×50 yard multi-purpose which will take up about 1/4 the space of a full-size baseball field. The presentation can be accessed with this

Hello Ridgewood, If you notice some lamps and lights and firecrackers tonight and tomorrow night at some of your neighbor’s homes, they are most likely celebrating the festival of lights, called Diwali. The main Diwali festival is tomorrow, Sunday, October 27th, when we lit lamps to celebrate the victory of good over evil and victory of lights over darkness. This year is special as Ridgewood schools have declared “no homework / no test” policy for this weekend

Who proposed and who authorized the donation from Friends? What allows Friends to use donated funds in ways other than what is indicated on the webpage?
