>Troop 4 Invites Cub Scouts in Ridgewood to an Open House on Wednesday, February 10th.

>RIDGEWOOD, NJ—Despite celebrating their 100th anniversary this month, the Boys Scouts of America have come on hard times here in Ridgewood. With six cub scouts packs and only two Boy Scout troops, many young scouts are falling by the wayside. However, recently, a group of Eagle Scouts have come together to help revive the traditions and values that formed the foundations of their lives and are in the midst of reorganizing and rebuilding Troop 4.

On Wednesday February 10th from 7:00p.m. to 8:00p.m., at the West Side Presbyterian Church on 6 South Monroe Street, Troop 4 will hold an open house for cub scouts looking to continue in scouting.

Under new leadership from experienced Eagle Scouts, Troop 4 hopes to set a new standard of excellence within the scouting community.

“With the other Troops in Ridgewood meeting Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, there are many kids that are looking to join scouting but can’t make those meeting nights,” said Anthony Chirdo, District Executive for Northern New Jersey Council of the Boys Scouts of America. “It’s good to see Troop 4 reorganizing with new, young leaders, all in their mid-twenties, who are willing to meet on Wednesday nights to take in some those kids.”

Between 2001 and 2002, six scouts from Troop 56 in Elmwood Park achieved the monumental Eagle Scout rank. After several ceremonies attended by local congressmen and women, mayors, chiefs of police, and numerous community members, these scouts went off into the world where they received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in such fields as Engineering, Political Science, Accounting, History, Writing and Information Systems.

Now these eagles have flown home.

“We all started as Tiger Scouts with Pack 8 in Elmwood Park and just kept going,” said Anthony Scotelaro, one of the new leaders of Troop 4. “Through scouting we created this great bond and friendship that helped us push through those tough times when we wanted to quit because of sports or one of us got a car or whatever.”

“If it wasn’t for that bond maybe half of us or none of us would have become Eagles and maybe none of us would have even graduated college.”

For scouts who sign up with Troop 4 at Wednesday’s open house they will receive a free copy of the Boy Scout handbook. They will also get to meet and talk with several members of the troop’s new leadership, view an Eagle Scout memorabilia display, and learn more about the goals of the new troop.

“We definitely encourage parents to get involved with the troop,” said Scotellaro. “We want parents and family to realize that everyone is invited to get involved to help these young scouts advance toward Eagle and become self sufficient young men.”

“I know for sure that identifying animal prints and tying knots have not been helpful in the rest of my life,” he continued. “But the discipline, the values, the teamwork skills and all those things you gain by doing these activities I know for a fact has been a part or my life and certainly the other guys as well.”

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation’s foremost youth programs of character development and values-based leadership training. To learn more about Troop 4’s open house on February 10, please contact: Dan Cappello at 201-458-2955 or [email protected]

>Many "STEP UP" for Bergen freeholder

>
At least 9 Republicans file to run for Bergen freeholder

Midnight marks the deadline for potential freeholder, county executive and sheriff candidates to file letters of intent with the Bergen County Republican Organization. With less than seven hours to go before the deadline, nine have filed to compete for the party nod for three freeholder seats, two for sheriff and just one for the county’s top post.

“I personally have never seen this kind of number,” said Bergen County Republican chairman Bob Yudin. “It’s very good – it’s encouraging. Its shows how vibrant the BCRO is now. It shows a rekindling of interest. It’s an excellent number of people, many of them elected or former elected officials.” Republicans, fresh from picking up two freeholder seats in November, can take control of the freeholder board if they win all three seats that are up this year.

Competing for a chance to run for freeholder are John Felice, a former River Edge councilman and son of former Assemblyman Nicholas Felice; John Mitchell, an independent consultant who has run unsuccessfully for council in Cliffside Park several times; Raymond Herr, a former Fairview councilman and a candidate for Bogota council last year; Jeff Bader, a councilman from Woodcliff Lake; Rosina Romano, the former mayor of South Hackenack; Frank Valenzuela, the mayor of Rochelle Park; John Criscione, a former Fort Lee councilman; Maura De Nicola, the mayor of Franklin Lakes; and Ken Tyburczy, the chairman of the Bergen County Young Republicans. A tenth candidate, Montvale resident Arthur Lavis – who ran for freeholder in last year’s primary on gubernatorial candidate Steve Lonegan’s line – has also submitted a letter of intent. But Yudin said that he has not yet filled out a statement naming Yudin as the campaign manager for the purposes of bracketing – a precondition to run in the convention. “As far as I’m concerned, my position is that he hasn’t completed his application,” said Yudin.

>Global Warming Hoax : Leaked climate change emails scientist ‘hid’ data flaws

>Exclusive: Key study by East Anglia professor Phil Jones was based on suspect figures

How the location of weather stations in China undermines data

https://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/feb/01/leaked-emails-climate-jones-chinese

Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the centre of the leaked emails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based.

A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia’s climatic research unit has found evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced.

>’We’ve been had!’ Indian Magazine Rips Global Warming: ‘The Hottest Hoax in the World…A pack of lies, it turns out’

>The Hottest Hoax in the World

It was presented as fact. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, led by India’s very own RK Pachauri, even announced a consensus on it. The world was heating up and humans were to blame. A pack of lies, it turns out.

https://www.openthemagazine.com/article/international/the-hottest-hoax-in-the-world

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrarywise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see? —Alice in Wonderland

The climate change fraud that is now unravelling is unprecedented in its deceit, unmatched in scope—and for the liberal elite, akin to 9 on the Richter scale. Never have so few fooled so many for so long, ever.

The entire world was being asked to change the way it lives on the basis of pure hyperbole. Propriety, probity and transparency were routinely sacrificed.

The truth is: the world is not heating up in any significant way. Neither are the Himalayan glaciers going to melt as claimed by 2035. Nor is there any link at all between natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and global warming. All that was pure nonsense, or if you like, ‘no-science’!

The climate change mafia, led by Dr Rajendra K Pachauri, chairperson of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), almost pulled off the heist of the century through fraudulent data and suppression of procedure. All the while, they were cornering millions of dollars in research grants that heaped one convenient untruth upon another. And as if the money wasn’t enough, the Nobel Committee decided they should have the coveted Peace Prize.

But let’s begin at the beginning. Mr Pachauri has no training whatsoever in climate science. This was known all the time, yet he heads the pontification panel which proliferates the new gospel of a hotter world. How come? Why did the United Nations not choose someone who was competent? After all, this man is presumably incapable of differentiating between ocean sediments and coral terrestrial deposits, nor can he go about analysing tree ring records and so on. That’s not jargon; these are essential elements of a syllabus in any basic course on climatology.

You cannot blame him. His degree and training is in railroad engineering. You read it right. This man was educated to make railroads from point A to point B.

>Councilman Keith Killion said. "But it’s a combination of things that make it a perfect storm.

>
A Bergen County downtown that could use an economic boost

By Joseph R. Perone/The Star-Ledger
January 18, 2010, 7:45AM

https://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2010/01/a_bergen_county_downtown_that.html

Stores are leaving Ridgewood at an alarming rate as the economic downturn — combined with long-standing issues such as high rents and lack of parking — continues to punish the village’s downtown, according to a report in The Record.

Up to five businesses have closed or merged with other stores in the Bergen County town in the past month. And the business exodus isn’t over, merchants say.
Cardventure and Artventure are closing in February, Irish Eyes Imports, which has been in town for 20 years, is bolting for Westwood and boutique shop Happy Tuesday will shut its doors this month.

“Some want to blame this on the [lack of] parking,” Councilman Keith Killion said. “But it’s a combination of things that make it a perfect storm. It’s the proximity of the malls, the rents and the landlords, Internet shopping … and the economy. To say it’s just one incident is being unfair.”

The Plot Thickens : Ridgewood’s downtown voted Bergen’s best

>The question is: Are these papers being truly objective or are the articles an attempt to placate the Village Council and bring an end to the antagonism between it and the President of the Chamber of Commerce, who happens to be the son in law of the owner of the North Jersey Media Group? If the answer is the latter, then we can only look to the Blogs for any kind of truth about what goes on in the Village!

Ridgewood’s downtown voted Bergen’s best

>Reader calls on BOE and VC to ,"EITHER STEP UP OR STEP THE HELL DOWN!"

>OH MY GOD! I can not believe what I am hearing (or reading)! Did someone just say that if they bid it out then there will be more noisy garbage trucks driving through the town??? I think the NJ Transit buses make more noise but I guess because a good number of us have or still rely on them that’s not an issue huh? Besides, a noisy truck is not a valid reason for the BOE to be held hostage to the VC or vice-versa.

The bottom line is this: The Village Counsel AND the Board of Ed are BOTH FULL OF CRAP. The BOE should have NO dependence on the Village’s budget and nor should the Village be dependent on the BOE (to provide work for Village employees). Let the BOE bid it out. And let the Village do what they have to. Furthermore, since when has the idea of cutting back on employees in the worst economy since the Great Depression become such taboo? And can someone tell me when did running this town become a God Damn popularity contest? If it means saving money for the taxpayers than it should be done with no remorse.

Running this town is serious business, and it should be planned out and executed as such. And as much as it may effect one’s life, the truth is that this is nothing personal to those who may be let go, this is business. It was business to the millions of American’s who have been let go from their jobs since Sept of 2008 and it’s no different now. As soon as emotions intertwine with business is the very instant dumb comments and even dumber decisions are made. Tough times call for tough measures!

Now is a better time than ever that someone in Village Taj maHall needs to grow some damn balls and do something that will insulate the taxpayers and it’s retail establishments from any additional increases! And again, if it means loud garbage trucks on the road so be it because if that is someone’s biggest fear than I will show you someone who thinks elitism in the new black! When in reality, elitism is a sure sign of complete and total ignorance!

I can understand and respect the efforts and I know I don’t want to see anyone lose their job, but if that’s what it takes to slow the death spiral of this town’s debts THAN DO IT ALREADY. We don’t need to be Nostradamus to know that with a new Governor calling the shots who has already told us to be ready “to feel the pain” it is NOT going to get any better before it get’s worse.

So to Village Hall and the B.O.E. I say to you: EITHER STEP UP OR STEP THE HELL DOWN because the voters in this Village are sick of these cunning stunts that result in nothing but us tax payers getting screwed yet again! As Thomas Paine wrote in “The Crisis” (how fitting huh?) “The cunning of the fox is just as murderous as the violence of the wolf.”

HOOOOLY CRAP!!! AMEN!!! NOW WHERE’S THE TYLENOL

>NJ Voters Reject Majority Of School Bond Referenda

The results from yesterday’s school bond referenda are encouraging for New Jersey taxpayers. Under consideration were 14 measures across 9 districts totaling approximately $293M. Among these, only two were approved by the voters.

Referenda Passed

•Cumberland, NJ approved $9,960,123 in bonding to replace roof and install solar panels at high school.
•Montague Township approved $395,125 in new bonding for partial roof replacement and repairs at elementary school.
Referenda Rejected

The following are a few of the bond measures with the highest price tags that were rejected:

•Edison Township: $137,068,139 in bonding for renovations to 13 schools; $29,775,888 in bonding to build a new elementary school.
•Pennsauken Township: $34,665,986 in bonding to demolish an elementary school and construct a new school
•Wood Ridge: $14,922,540 in bonding for additions and renovations, including new classrooms and science labs, boilers, solar panels, and roof repairs; $10,388,543 in bonding for additions and renovations, including new classrooms, window replacement, electrical upgrades
These results are a strong sign that New Jersey voters are no longer willing to tolerate more borrowing, debt and higher property taxes.

In contrast, in 2009 there were 81 school bond referenda and only 33 were voted down.

>BOE to Village Council: “Please don’t charge us for refuse removal services.”

>A routine audit performed by management of the Village’s sanitation department revealed that the Village has provided refuse removal services – dumpster pick ups – free of charge to all Ridgewood schools, and the BOE offices on Cottage Place, for an as yet undetermined period of time (years, not days, weeks, or months though).

Village Council members, seeking to close monumental gaps in the municipal budget, have directed the BOE be charged for garbage pick ups beginning on or about July 1, 2010. Costs for these services are rumored to be in the neighborhood of $24K per month.

During Wednesday evening’s Village Council Work Session, Village Manager Kenneth A. Gabbert, PhD. publicly advised Council Members that Ridgewood Schools Superintendent Daniel Fishbein, Ed.D. has formally requested the Council consider providing refuse removal services to BOE facilities on an on-going “no charge” basis.

Dr. Fishbein informed Dr. Gabbert that if Village Council members insisted on implementing a “charge for services rendered” policy, the BOE would be forced go out to bid for garbage collection services.

Additionally, it is rumored Fishbein suggested to Gabbert that if the BOE was forced to bear the costs associated with refuse removal, it could result in the layoff of two (2) teachers, and the Village Council would surely “take heat” for such an occurrence.

During Wednesday’s Village Council Work Session, Council members publicly directed Gabbert to proceed with plans to bill the BOE for any refuse removal services provided by Village sanitation employees. The Council members present were unanimous in their belief that despite Ridgewood taxpayers footing the expense for garbage removal regardless of who does it, services should be budgeted and paid for by the using organization.

Privately, some Council members were reportedly incensed by Fishbein’s suggestion that the BOE would try to pin blame for any teacher layoffs on the Village’s insistence that gratis dumpster pick ups must end. One Council member is rumored to have said that if the Council was forced to continue picking up BOE garbage for free, two (2) police officers would be laid off and the Council would blame the BOE.

Don’t you just love it!
