Cell tower (continued from page 3) schedules, but also for how a delayed morning schedule would impact the paid enrollment, from residents of Ridgewood and other towns, which is needed to operate Graydon. “Graydon is about building a community. Graydon is a family tradition,” Cariddi said. Resident Marcia Ringel, who successfully urged a few years ago that Graydon maintain its lake-like appearance, but with better water quality, concurred with Cariddi. “This would be historically unprecedented and we believe a huge mistake,” Ringel said of the delayed openings. “I am very concerned with what seems to be an antimarketing program.” Ringel urged that the pool be opened at 10 a.m. each weekday morning once the season begins, that the 3 p.m. early season opening be forgotten, and that Ridgewood senior citizens be given free admission rather than a discount. “I was told the seniors wanted to pay because they wanted to be united with the community,” Mayor Killion said. “If it was up to me I wouldn’t charge seniors. I was out-voted, but not by this council.” He agreed, however, that the 13 late openings now on the village website had not been authorized by the council and said he would inquire as to how they got there when Village Manager Ken Gabbert returns to his office. Resident Boyd Loving urged that the delayed openings in June be stricken from the Ridgewood website immediately, but Mayor Killion said he wanted to examine how and why the hours were described as they are. “This council is faced with a very difficult fiscal year,” Mayor Killion said. “Nothing goes through unless the council goes through with it. We have the final say.”
