Ridgewood NJ, YWCA Bergen County is holding its September WEN is Now: Women’s Empowerment Network event, “Clean Out Your Closet, Clean Out Your Life”, on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 from 8:30 to 10:00 am at 112 Oak Street, Ridgewood.
Clutter is not only your old ideas, toxic relationships, bad habits and stalled moments. Clutter also refers to the 15 pairs of black pants in 5 different sizes that live in your closet, taking up space in your life and stealing energy from your day. Clutter is anything that stands between you and living the life you most want to be living. Many women put self-care last on their list of priorities. Take a “time out” to SHOP YOUR CLOSET. In so doing…you will also SHOP YOUR LIFE!
Together, we are going to look in the mirror to do both a closet and personal audit to determine 3 key things: What’s your story? What needs to go? What’s next?
Presenters Randi Levin, CPC, Founder & CEO of Randi Levin Coaching; and Martha Fickinger, President of Style Venture Inc. and a Club Level Stylist for W by Worth; will discuss what to keep in your closet and in your life, what to donate and let go, and what to restyle and reinvent. This workshop is for the woman who wants to embrace change and feel confident in her personal life choices as well as in strategically aligning her overall look. Our goal is to create “GO TO” looks for every occasion, eliminate unnecessary personal and physical clutter, and to create a strategic wish list for growth and renewal.
Get the personal and professional growth you seek with exclusive opportunities for WEN is Now Membership. Annual WEN is Now Memberships are available at $150. Memberships include one-year basic YWCA membership, members-only discounts for women’s empowerment programs, and a tax deductible donation ($100) toward vital YWCA programming. Per event rates for monthly WEN is Now programs include $15 for non-members and no charge for WEN is Now members.

What’s really concerning is that these supporters of Roberta, et al is their acceptance of government that proclaims transparency yet goes to great lengths to lie and trick residents. Regardless if you really want a garage or high density apartments, tolerating the lies, deception and trickery makes you compliant. Actually, many of these supporters went to great lengths to assist Roberta, Paul, etc. because they wanted to ‘win’ the garage issue, etc. These supporters are no better, and their display of loyalty to the dishonest, lack of integrity regime that is gone is pretty pathetic. Thank goodness the majority of people are not like these supporters. Good prevails.
Ridgewood NJ, On Saturday morning the underpass on East Glen Ave will be closed from 7am until 3pm for utility work. Detours will be in place at Oak Street and North Monroe Street. Police officers will be stationed at intersections around the detour to assist with keeping traffic flowing.
there’s a running theme on this blog of having people minimize the significance of an event to try to make the conversation stop. (It seems to have the opposite effect.) Here’s a scenario that did NOT go down. A fervent resident presses a literally-pay-to-play-baseball check upon an official, who smiles, hands it back, and says, “We know how much you want this mondo field that the Schedler neighbors have good arguments against. If we go with it, believe me, we’ll come to you for a big donation. Until the council has voted to proceed, however, naturally you can see that we can’t accept any money. Think how that would look! And of course we wouldn’t be allowed to let it sit around without cashing it–there’s an ordinance against that–yet cashing it prematurely would give the wrong message about how the council makes its decisions. opening village government to valid criticism and potential lawsuits. That wouldn’t be good! See you at the Daily Treat!”

NEWARK — Former Rutgers student Dharun Ravi has won his appeal seeking to overturn his convictions in the Tyler Clementi webcam case.
The appellate court sided with Ravi’s attorneys who argued he never should have been charged with bias crimes and all of his convictions should be reversed. The decision also ordered a new trial, even though Ravi has already served his 30-day sentence and three years of probation.
“It’s far from over,” Ravi’s attorney Steven Altman said Friday morning. “I’m extraordinarily pleased with the decision. I haven’t spoken with the Ravi family yet, but I can only imagine they’re pleased as well.”
Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Water wants to remind you that Stage 2 water restrictions are still in force.
In accordance with the Codes of the Village of Ridgewood, the Boroughs of Glen Rock and Midland Park, and the Township of Wyckoff, Stage II water restrictions in Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Midland Park, and Wyckoff, New Jersey are in effect beginning June 23, 2016 until further notice.
Residents, businesses, governmental agencies, and all other water users must adhere to Stage II of the restrictions shown on our website,water.ridgewoodnj.net.
If your address is an odd number, you may irrigate on Tuesdays and Saturdays only. If your address is an even number, you may irrigate on Wednesdays and Sundays only. A handheld hose may be used at any time including Mondays. No irrigation is allowed on Mondays, Thursdays, or Fridays except the use of a hand held hose.
The restriction level had to be increased to Stage II because water is being consumed at a greater rate than the supply system can sustain, thus reducing the amount of water in reserve for fire fighting and other emergencies.
Compliance with the Stage II restrictions will reduce the likelihood that more severe controls will be needed. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Violators will be subject to a fine and court appearance
Ridgewood NJ, During Wednesday evening’s Village Council Work Session, Deputy Mayor Michael Sedon confirmed that former Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld had failed to adhere to NJSA 5:31-3.1 when she chose not to deposit a check for $100k from the Ridgewood Baseball Softball Association (RBSA), made out to the Village of Ridgewood. According to Mr. Sedon, Sonenfeld put the check in either a “safe or drawer,” where it remained for an undisclosed period of time (likely weeks or months) before being returned to the RBSA.
It is believed the $100k was intended to serve as a donation for construction of a then planned 90 foot baseball field on the Schedler property. However, despite the submission of an Open Public Records Act request, no official documents were ever produced in connection with the donation, its subsequent return, nor any stipulations associated with it.
Receipt of the check was mentioned during at least one (1) open public meeting of the Council, but there was never any open discussion about why NJSA 5:31-3.1 (funds to be deposited in authority’s legal depository within 48 hours of receipt) wasn’t being followed, nor why the check was being returned.
Ridgewood NJ, A dump truck became entangled in several utility wires on Thursday afternoon, 09/08 after its bed accidentally raised up while traveling eastbound on Grove Street near Stevens Avenue in Ridgewood. Cable TV, electric, and telephone services were interrupted to many nearby residences in the process. Two (2) passengers in the truck were trapped until firefighters and a PSE&G trouble shooter were able to confirm that their exit from the passenger compartment would present no life hazard. The truck’s driver had safely exited prior to the arrival of emergency responders. Grove Street was closed in both directions between South Pleasant Avenue and South Van Dien Avenue for several hours following the crash. The truck was able to drive away on its own power after cables were removed by cable TV, electric, and telephone company technicians. No injuries were reported in the incident. Ridgewood PD issued eight (8) summonses in connection with the mishap.
“Spot on about Healthbarn. Now at last nights meeting the owner oddly lawyers up and threatened to take legal action against the town and residents! From my understanding it is the noise, buses and lights that this business brought into the neighborhood that people are upset about but yet now there is an underlying threat of a law suit. The new valley hospital!”
“Yes I saw the law suit underlying threat and the friend of Healthbarn who claimed to be so educated on town events should be embarrassed to have spoken out on the behalf of a business that may sue the town.”
“Healthbarn business in a neighborhood park. This was done by the village manager for a friend. That contract has to be re visited quickly. How it even happened is astounding. Healthcare is making money off of tax payers dollars. We tax payers are financially supporting this business that operates in our park.”
Ridgewood NJ, several readers have asked “What we’re all these comments in the council meeting about a raffle at Mt Carmel with a $25k prize. Those comments were perplexing.
It seemed to be implied by Mr. Halaby that there was a fix in and that is why the Mayor won the raffle.
The fact is the church was in Glen Rock, not Mt. Carmel. And the suggestion by Mr. Halaby that the raffle was rigged was pathetic and highly insulting to the church. What by the way did that have to do with anything? Just reaching for something ridiculous to attack the Mayor, and attack the church while he was at it.
Perhaps the opposition should take there own advice and behave civilly or maybe the council should morve to ban several residents from speaking at Village council meetings for “trolling”.
