>Student charged in connection with fire at Ridgewood High School

A 16-year-old Ridgewood High School (RHS) student was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of arson in connection with a fire Tuesday afternoon in the boys bathroom of the school’s north science wing, according to a spokesperson with the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.
Students were evacuated from Ridgewood High School after a fire was reported in a boys bathroom on the second floor of the north science wing.
The student, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, is alleged to have started a fire just after 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 4 by using a “Zippo style lighter” to ignite toilet paper in a stall’s dispenser, according to the BCPO report. The arrest followed an investigation by detectives with the BCPO’s Arson Squad along with detectives from the Ridgewood Police Department.

Expressing Elvis – Jan 8 Celebrating Elvis Presley’s Birthday in Poetry and Song
Ridgewood, NJ – January 8, 2011-“Elvis Presley is Alive and Well on Lincoln Avenue in Fair Lawn, New Jersey….” So reads the title of a poem by Maria Mazziotti Gillan.
On that same road but a little farther north — in Ridgewood — Elvis will be coming back. He will be alive and well — in poetry and song.
Since you may have wondered what to do after the New Year’s hoopla has quieted down, and after all the bowl games have been played, why not come out to get your own Elvis on?
Poets, we are sure that everyone has an Elvis poem or two. In honor of Elvis Presley’s birthday, why not join poets Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Laura Boss, James Gwyn, and others as they share their poems that include Elvis.
The event is on January 8, 2011, from 1-4 pm at Ridgewood Christian Reformed Church, 271 Lincoln Avenue, Ridgewood, NJ. Plenty of free parking. A large space to accommodate all manner of bards and balladeers. Express Elvis in verse or in any variety of expression. Come on out to listen or to participate. Tune up your guitar. Dust off your jumpsuit. It will be a memorable afternoon. It’s free. All are welcome.
UPDATE: Just thought you might like to know about a great new addition to this Saturday’s line-up. Not only poetry, song, but food as well! We’re excited to announce that Chef Jesse Jones(winner of Bergen County’s Ultimate Chef Competition, 2010). He will be contributing his culinary talents and unique style of Southern Cuisine to present a tasting of Elvis Presley’s favorite foods. Yes, we will be serving fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches!
Note to Poets: If you’d like to participate, please submit your intent to James Gwyn at [email protected] by Dec. 31st so he can get a reading list together. (In other words, RSVP.)
Note to Singers: Acoustic, please. There are some mics, but best to bring your own. (Also, please RSVP.)
Note to Impersonators: Calling El Vez. Is he still playing in town?

>Village trying to clear up confusion over post-snowstorm garbage pickup
Tuesday, January 4, 2011
BY MICHAEL SEDON
THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Staff Writer
Following the post-Christmas snowstorm and the end of 2010, normal Village of Ridgewood operations resumed after logistical confusion left some residents holding the garbage bag to start 2011.
The village missed some garbage pickups following the snowstorm last week.
Last week’s snowstorm caused the regularly scheduled garbage pickup for Monday, Dec. 27 to be moved to Tuesday, said Frank Moritz, the village’s Director of Operations.
“When the snow came on Monday, we couldn’t pick the garbage up,” he said. “Everything is back on schedule now the way it should be, and it’s all in the (village) calendar” which was mailed to residents this week.
Snow removal took several days to complete, Moritz said, noting that the last remnants of the snowstorm were cleared from village-owned sidewalks on Sunday, Jan. 2, in time for the start of school after Christmas break.

>My calendar arrived today and I noticed something …
My calendar arrived today. I still use the printed version so I can quickly see if garbage, recycling, etc. needs to go out before bedtime.
As I was scrolling through the pages, I noticed mine was printed wrong! I have 2 February grids and no December grid!!
Apparently this year-in, year-out task still hasn’t been perfected

Fire at RHS
Parents,
It was necessary for us to evacuate the building today at 2:35pm as a result of a fire in a workroom on the second floor of the Science wing. The fire department managed the situation and informed us when we could re-enter the building. Since some of the building was closed due to water and smoke, students with classes in the Science wing were directed to the campus center until the fire department allowed us to enter that area. Students were instructed to pick up their belongings in the Science classroom and exit the building. The area is being cleaned and will be prepared for school tomorrow. All scheduled activities for this evening will be conducted as planned.
Thank you,
John A. Lorenz
Principal
