Page 10 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • April 28, 2010 Ridgewood Pease Parking restricted to library building tenants The Ridgewood Village Council has restricted parking in the Pease Library’s off-street parking lot to anyone other than the tenants paying for office space in the building. A fine scale for violation of the restriction has also been established. The ordinance sets the parking area on the east side of the Pease Library fronting Garber Square for tenants who lease office space in the building, and for visitors at their offices. The lot provides spaces for nine tenants or visitors and for one handicapped-accessible only tenant and visitor space. The fee scale provides for fines of $50 per violation for the first five violations in any given calendar year, $75 for the next five violations, $100 for the five after that and $125 for any violation after the fifteenth violation. After serving as Ridgewood’s only public library from its opening in 1923, the Pease Library was relegated to the role of auxiliary library after the library on North Maple Avenue became the principal library in the 1960s. After the older facility’s hours were gradually reduced, the Pease Library was brought back into Ridgewood service in 1999, when Tropical Storm Floyd flooded the police station on the ground floor of the municipal building. Pease served as police headquarters for six years. Recent plans to lease the library as an archive or to house the collection of the Bergen County Museum fell through. Ultimately, Ridgewood philanthropist David Bolger agreed to restore the building, allow use of the foyer to village residents, and lease the remaining space to commercial tenants with the money to be forwarded to the Ridgewood Library. The reconstruction was completed to general acclaim in 2009. J. KOSTER Helping paws Dr. Elizabeth Holley, first grade teacher at Willard School in Ridgewood, visited Shirley McCabe’s Health 7 class at George Washington Middle School to discuss her experiences with her therapy dogs. Health students Maddy Schoenfeld and Sophia Candrilli selected therapy dogs as the topic of their research project and were delighted to have the opportunity to discuss the topic with an expert. ������������� ������������������� ��������������������������������������� �������������������� ����������������������������� ������������ ����������������� ���������������� ����������������������������������������� The Scotts Annual Program Provides Nutrients Your Lawn Can Grow On!
