Pictures from the 4th of July Parade will be up this sometime afternoon!
>Dear Friends:
On the eve of the anniversary of our nation’s independence, as we prepare to enjoy family and friends, parades and picnics, and, of course, fireworks, let us all take a moment to remember the men and women who make our freedom possible. If you know a soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine who is serving now to keep this nation safe or if you know a veteran who has made the freedom we now enjoy possible, please take a moment to say thank you.
May God bless the men and women in uniform, and may God bless America.
Sincerely,
Scott Garrett
Member of Congress

>Unsung Heroes :This is a new column on the Ridgewood Blog devoted to all those people who most of us only notice when something goes wrong ,but most days things work so we never pay any attention.
The Street Department wants you to know that they are getting the town spruced up for the 4th of July parade ,by patching roads, sweeping the streets, cleaning storm drains. Also, puting out 350 barricades thru the parade route, so there is safety. On rainy days and storms they constantly are cleaning low line areas to compile with the regulations so there is no additional flooding in the streets.

Kristine Di Grigoli Paige a Ridgewood resident has been known as primarily a performance artist, having performed publicly since July 25th, 2002. Recently she has put more of her focus and her energies into translating her life’s experiences into art. Her first project was the completion of the “B&W” (Black and White) series and the start of her new square foot series “Eyes”. Her travels, friends, and music all play a significant role in her work, including her life long obsession with mysterious veiled women. She generally works with acrylics, a habit formed by painting in front of live audiences and needing a quick drying time. When studying an image she alters it to borrow its structure, its shadow, and provide her interpretation. The outcome will provide movement of emotions sometimes indescribable but likeable. Currently she is attracted to texture, giving some of her work a three dimensional quality. She often uses bold colors and will challenge tradition in order to express herself. Her work is modern in style but is often more significant by what it makes you feel. A painter by day a Club Photographer by night and once the sun goes down she puts down her brush and pallet and takes up her newest love photography. Frequently on evenings and weekends she can be found in New Jerseys hottest night clubs capturing youthful exuberance on digital images and recording this generations efforts to define itself. “Life of an Artist” Kristine Di Grigoli Paige Solo ExhibitionWorks from 1997-2006 June 22-July 6th, 2006 First Open Reception Thurs. 6/22/06- 5pm till 9pm
