>Concerned Residents of Ridgewood Update – June 30 2010

Thank you for your continued support of Concerned Ridgewood Residents in our efforts to address the changes in the Village of Ridgewood’s Master Plan.

Please be patient and confident in the knowledge that we have been meeting to strategize and explore all of our options, including possible legal challenges. As a result of mobilizing hundreds of people for last Monday’s meeting: media coverage broadcast our call for help throughout the Village and garnered even more support from residents all over town. Your support continues to be critical to maintain the momentum and the interest.

We need to be realistic about what our options are and this takes time to fully investigate. On the backs of every patient at Valley (through high health insurance premiums, co-pays and other out of pocket charges), Valley Health Inc. has very “deep pockets” to pay for legal resources. While Valley can call on its $350 million cash surplus, CRR needs to rely on donations from the community.

Therefore, if legal action is taken we need to be laser focused. You can help now by getting the word out that we need funds. In order to mount any legal challenges we must be well funded and well organized machine. Donations, large or small to CRR permit us to move forward with appropriate legal counsel.

In the meantime, once again, please be patient while we structure our response and challenge to the change in the Master Plan. Many people in good faith are working diligently on this. Additionally, to the many who responded to the email call for help researching, organizing and assisting: Thank you! Once more detailed plans are in place, people will be needed.

Finally, there has been a great deal of speculation and conversation about possible Village Council candidates. For the moment our attention must be focused on the most critical and timely issues. The filing deadline for the elections is in September so it is likely prudent to review any and all candidates after the filing date.

Once again, thank you for your tremendous efforts and your continued support!

>Valley Renewal : Ridgewood Residents were BAMBOOZLED!

There will never be a redo. Ridgewood Residents were BAMBOOZLED! Ridgewood Residents have been DECEIVED! The original venue (for 6/21) of BFMS was moved to GWMS less than 2 business days before the meeting (afternoon Thursday 6/17). By this point the PB certainly should have coordinated the plan with the BOE/BFMS. How could there be such a serious breach of communication? Residents calling BFMS that afternoon (around 2pm)found no principal or administrator available to answer questions about this conflict. Multiple and differing excuses came for the PB and the BOE.

At first glance this could be construed as an honest conflict and so off to GWMS we will go. But let’s face it, on June 21 as people were planning to go to GWMS for the meeting an afternoon email, sent from the planning board, that no parking would be available near GWMS sent residents/ taxpayers scrambling to carpool. Meanwhile, Valley was already mobilizing employees to fill the auditorium.

Still let’s not be too cynical: some residents did arrive early and sat in the auditorium to save seats for friends and family. But they were kicked out by Joe Scala of GCA Services Group by order of Angelo DeSimone as authorized by the Planning Board. Scala, who was nasty to residents said he was ordered to secure the auditorium. Residents were forced to stand in the unsecured and sweltering vestibule as Valley Employees were herded in. The residents were being outnumbered quickly by out-of-town Valley employees. At one point a Village resident asked Scala which door would be opened for the public to enter the auditorium. She was told the door we (residents) were standing closest to would be opened as it was closest to the GWMS main doors. When the doors were finally opened it was those in front of where the Valley employees stood. The door by the residents remained locked and they began knocking asking someone to open the doors. A resident went in with the Valley group and opened it for her fellow resident/taxpayers. By this time half of the room was already filled by Valley. Meanwhile police from all over the county were mobilizing!

Cynical? Distrustful? Disbelieving? Suspicious? Don’t kid yourself there will be no redo. This was a concerted effort to suppress the Voices of the Villagers of Ridgewood.

Signers of the Declaration of Independence :

Richard Stockton
1730-1781

Representing New Jersey at the Continental Congress

https://www.ushistory.org/DECLARATION/signers/stockton.htm

by Ole Erekson, Engraver, c1876, Library of CongressBorn: October 1, 1730
Birthplace: Near Princeton, N.J.
Education: West Nottingham Academy, Graduate of College of New Jersey. (Lawyer)
Work: Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, 1774; Elected to Continental Congress, 1776
Died: February 28, 1781

Richard Stockton was born near Princeton, on October 1, 1730. He attended the West Nottingham Academy under Dr. Samuel Finley, and then earned his degree at the College of New Jersey (Now Princeton) in 1748. He studied law with David Ogden of Newark. Stockton became an eminent Lawyer with one of the largest practices in the colonies. He was not much concerned with politics, but applied his talents and person to the revolutionary cause when the day came. He was appointed to the royal council of New Jersey in 1765 and remained a member until the government was reformed. He was a moderate with regard to Colonial autonomy. He argued that the colonies should be represented in the Parliament. With the passage of the Stamp Act, such arguments were overcome by colonial backlash. In 1774 he was appointed Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. In 1776, the New Jersey delegates to the Congress were holding out against Independence. When news of this reached the constituents, New Jersey elected Richard Stockton and Dr. Witherspoon to replace two of the five New Jersey delegates. They were sent with instructions to vote for Independence. Accounts indicate that, despite clear instruction, Justice Stockton wished to hear the arguments on either side of the issue. Once he was satisfied, the New Jersey delegates voted for Independence.

Stockton was appointed to committees supporting the war effort. He was dispatched on a fact finding tour to the northern army. New Jersey was overrun by the British in November of ’76, when he was returning from the mission. He managed to move his family to safety, but was captured and imprisoned by the British. He was not released until several years later, badly treated and in very poor condition. He lost all of his extensive library, writings, and all of his property during the British invasion. He died a pauper in Princeton at the age of 51.
