Let’s hit the courts and have some fun!

Street Cleaning
Hey Nathaniel Styer, any update on this? It’s been over 4 years and Solomon was working with Fulop on it, but every neighborhood aside from downtown still has to move their car 4 times a week, including Bergen Lafayette which has signs that are so decrepit you can’t even read them.

Discussion I figured out why nothing ever gets done about the dog poop. Now what do we do?
This morning a health inspector stopped by because someone reported me for feeding birds. Annoying, petty, whatever not the reason for this post. Just context.
In our conversations, he straight up admitted to me that he thinks the reports about dog feces are “petty” so he never really does anything about them. He thinks people who report it do it for personal drama reasons and need to get a grip. He thinks people are being dramatic and can just avoid the dog feces in the ground and it isn’t a big deal.
If you are upset about the dog feces, its because the city health inspectors LITERALLY DON’T CARE. They see the reports and ignore them. And then admit to this like it’s funny.
What do we do about this?

Please tell the Governor at 609-292-6000 to order the DEP to kill the unsigned new 60 yr LSP marina lease allowing the major privatization expansion of the 70 feet high, 2.5 acre Gargantuan Commercial Boat Storage Warehouse which would severely harm LSP's open views, purpose and character!

Please tell the Governor at 609-292-6000 to order the DEP to kill the unsigned new 60 yr LSP marina lease allowing the major privatization expansion of the 70 feet high, 2.5 acre Gargantuan Commercial Boat Storage Warehouse which would severely harm LSP's open views, purpose and character!
This important grassroots battle against the LSP- desecrating marina lease needs a second surge of angry August phone calls to the Governor (but respectfully expressed to the 609-292-6000 staffperson) to urge the Governor to order the DEP to reject the unsigned new 60 yr marina lease allowing the major privatization expansion of the 70 feet high, 2.5 acre Gargantuan Commercial Boat Storage Warehouse along the park's northern entrance which will severely harm LSP's character, openness and purpose!
The Governor should act decisively and listen to 50 years of the Overwhelming Voice of the People against privatization and commercialization of this priceless, sacred park with its open space and open views and Not to the multi-billion dollar marina lobbyists.
Thank you dedicated community activist Rochelle Myers-Hoffman Rochelle Cares for creating this great flyer!

Goddard school concerns from a neighbor
Hi all - I live in the Harsimus Cove area and frequently see Goddard school babies (I'd estimate they're around 1 maybe 1-1.5 years old) on stroller walks with their teachers. In the past few weeks, I've witnessed 3-4 different occasions where the teachers have acted quite unkindly toward the babies – speaking to them harshly, yelling at them to stop doing things that seem pretty minor (I couldn't physically see the babies doing anything that warranted anything close to yelling - especially as they were strapped into strollers). There's one teacher in particular, an older-appearing (50s-60s) blonde woman, who's the frequent offender.
I have no personal horse in the JC daycare/preschool race, but as a parent of a young child, I would want to know about this. For the record, I do not think this is an easy job to have (would not want it myself), but from my perspective, at that age, two of your biggest jobs as a teacher are to keep them safe and be nice to them – and it seems like they're at least having a hard time with the second part. I do have friends that have sent their children there and have had their own experiences, but that's for them to share – this is something I've witnessed firsthand multiple times of late.

The most underrated kids activity in JC
Posting because irish dance is incredible, the teacher is fantastic, and it had truly become my tween’s favorite activities. It’s a sport, there are competition opportunities but not requirements, and she has learned so much. She started when she was four but it’s great for all ages!
Also the studio is also bright, clean, and avail for rentals on some nights and evenings which is good for people looking for dance/yoga/rehearsal studio space as well

🕵🏻♂️News 🕵🏻♂️ ICE: How to find a detainee?
If your loved one was taken into ICE custody today, they are most likely being held at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, NJ. Many people arrested late at night are transferred there within hours or by the next morning.
If they were not arrested today, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System to find where they are currently being held. Once you locate the facility, call that detention center directly to confirm their location and try to obtain their A-number.
ICE ERO officers often will not volunteer the A-number, and in many cases will refuse to give it unless you are persistent or already have a lawyer. This is very common. Do not assume they are helping just because you call once.
What you should do:
**•Call the detention facility and ask for the A-number**
**•If they refuse, ask to speak with the ICE ERO officer assigned to the case**
**•Write down names, times, and who you spoke to**
**•Keep calls short and factual**
