Dear Kasschau Shell Concert friends!
What a summer this has been! The Summer of Jo was one for the record books!
The Kasschau Memorial Shell Committee in Ridgewood was thrilled to be able to offer our Summer Concert Series despite the challenges brought to our community by Covid-19. Many acts returned to our beautiful outdoor stage and many were new additions to our lineup! All were thrilled to be on stage performing, and the “physically distant” audiences appreciated the varied styles of music and enthusiasm of the bands.
Our season began with a special dedication to our former chair Jo Delaney who passed away in January. Mayor Susan Knudsen issued a Proclamation by the Village Council in gratitude to Jo and her family for her many years of volunteerism in Ridgewood, and declared this to be the “Summer of Jo” at her beloved Kasschau Shell.
The Committee proudly awarded the Kasschau Memorial Shell Scholarship to Ms. Stefanie Hass, Ridgewood High School Class of 2020. Stefanie will be pursuing instrumental music education at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.

Fagan, who is an associate lecturer a Goldsmith University specializing in behavioral science, said, “Our research showcases the profound impact gigs have on feelings of health, happiness and wellbeing – with fortnightly or regular attendance being the key. Combining all of our findings with O2’s research, we arrive at a prescription of a gig a fortnight which could pave the way for almost a decade more years of life.”

A Note to the Council About the Library’s Expensive Proposition to Gut Itself and Start Over

Bike_Ridgewood_Public_Library_theridgewoodblog

The following note was sent to the Village Council with a copy to the Village Manager.

Dear Council:
It is my impression that the library director and board are asking the Council to pave over part of Veterans Field for parking so that they can increase services further and build a performance venue at the library.

This is a bad idea–no, a terrible idea. Our parks have already been largely given over to sports. What’s left must be considered sacrosanct. As the temporary custodians of the village, you make decisions that will last for decades or forever. You are responsible for holding firm on this. I believe such a decision would be wildly unpopular.
