Professor John McCarthy provides specific strategies to get athletes, coaches and parents on the same page. Referring to the three entities of sports as co-dependent parties, McCarthy uses Yogi Berra’s career and his own life experiences to illustrate how sports done the right way can enhance everyone’s life.

What the stinking h*ll is this? Forget bias based on “sexual orientation.” How are normal, red-blooded American citizens going to be forced to overcome their biased attitudes towards people who think so little of their personal dignity as to allow themselves to be used by Orwell-inspired officeholder to try to impose such an unnatural uniformity of opinion in people living in their “environs?” This is big-time progressive liberal social engineering that self-respecting U.S. citizens should reflexively vomit right back out. Do they think Ridgewood is tied in with Democratic machine politics? How else would they try to force this crap on us?
the whole thing is very creepy and yes Hudson County Machine Politics
It’s truly baffling how anyone could have a problem with this.
as soon as you take on the Council Majority’s consistent bad behavior at the council meetings then you might gain an ounce of credibility
The next round of comedic hypocrisy spewed by our Mayor and is not-so-civil running mates is upon us. They must have forgotten to put something in about discrimination against ethically challenged local politicians.
An increasing number of people are taking on the council majority at meetings.
Somebody please explain why we are looking at 1,000 Pro-Parking Garage “Vote Yes” Signs stuck in every available piece of dirt in the CBD and elsewhere? Would an equivalent number of “Vote No” signs be welcome in all the same places? If not, why not?
I was in town Saturday night. The parking garage signs were sticking out of planters. It really made it look like a shanty town.
Thank you Chamber
Agreed re garage signs, an awfully shabby display of naive enthusiasm for an equally shabby proposal to install a garish garage in the middle of town. And don’t be fooled by the quaint notion that we are putting a “parking deck” in the middle of town. Its a garage, plain and simple. Giving it a name out of the Greenwich Ct playbook does not make it any less repulsive.
“If a municipality does not know the actual cost for operating, maintaining, repairing, enforcing, and collecting
from its parking facilities, it cannot know the net revenue derived from parking fees, or whether its parking fee structure
is appropriate.”
Although somewhat dated, this report hits home.
