Important municipal election TOMORROW, Tuesday, May 10
In Tuesday’s municipal election, Ridgewood voters will choose three fellow residents to serve on the Village Council for the next four years.
To preserve and protect Ridgewood by moving forward cautiously and thoughtfully, we recommend voting for:
ROW 1 Jeffrey VOIGT
ROW 4 Bernadette COGHLAN-WALSH
ROW 6 Ramon M. HACHE
Polls will be open from 6 AM to 8 PM on Tuesday, May 10.
These independent candidates are not running as a team. They are neither beholden to the current “council majority” nor supported by developers.
Please click “X” next to the three candidates with little slogans above their names on the ballot in three languages.
Every vote counts. In 2012, the die was cast by fewer than 10 votes.
Hoping for a large turnout!

The only things “clear” with the Preserve Graydon Coalition is that they apparently don’t mind swimming in murky water with anyone (from any town) with a checkbook. I really wish however gets elected will address the sorry state of the “plake”.
Who did they back four years ago? How’d that work out? Make you wonder…
The best thing about Graydon might just be that you will never see Aronsohn, Hauck, Pucciarelli, Willett, Weitz, or Brooks there. I mean never.
On the other hand, Mike Sedon is there almost daily with his son, Bernie Walsh is a regular…..regular people enjoying a beautiful park.
Is it possible that Aronsohn doesn’t know how to swim?

Mike, like many parents with young kids, and I assume no backyard pool, bring their kids to Graydon in the summer. Its good that they have an option on hot days. What’s curious is how very few of the kids that are brought to Graydon when they’re young keep going when they hit about 10. Why is this? My guess is that by that age they realize the “plake” isn’t that cool (or clean) anymore. I’m sorry, but the water kinda gross, please address it instead of trying to “market” the place to newcomers to town and beyond. “It’s clear” the water isn’t clean.
Make sure your neighbors vote….H-W-V….save our town from the pillagers !
7:46–Not true. Weitz is there on weekends and his wife and kids are there like every day. Not to let facts interfere.
My kids loved to go to Graydon. Their friends were there too.
Parents program their kid’s summers more now. Sports camps to tire them out. So, not as many kids around to just swim and be kids.
The “murky water” people must not get out much. Lakes and ocean water are not the same as a chlorinated swimming pool. Should we shut them all down? Anyone can install a pool like a large chlorinated bathtub.
How do people like that manage in the real world?

Kids after summer sports camps would flock to Graydon IF the water was clean! Please don’t scape goat over scheduled kids and try to misdirect attention from the sorry state of the “plake”.
Regarding your comment about “managing in the real world”: The first step to making Graydon better (i.e. cleaner, safer, financially self sufficient & better attended by Ridgewood residents) is to admit there is a problem with it in it’s current state and work together as a town to come up with solutions! Catch phrases like “It’s clear, we love Graydon” are obviously silly (the water is FAR from clear) and draw attention to the preservationists willful blindness to the problems facing the park.
The water is clean. What contaminants are you talking about?
9:04- I’ve heard that the water is not “clean” for 30 plus years ! Completely false. Get your facts straight.
9:04-I’ve lived here for 30 plus years and every year I hear the water at Graydon is not clean. Forget what it looks like, IT IS CLEAN ! What sand bottom “pools” do you know of are crystal clear ?
So we should vote doc Walsh and Sedon because they go to Graydon?
Next cycle of Torment.Concrete pool would be terrific.Great for property values and the kids could really benefit with real safe swimming races and .professional swim lessons in a clear pool setting outdoors!,! Let’s face it ice skating rarely happens outside of historic postcards and real estate promotions.
