The 3 E's
Everyone is familiar with the 3 R's; reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic.
In Ridgewood, residents have learned about the 3 E's.
Eminent Domain - the Soccer Association expects to use the new Rec Policy as a means for quick approval on permits which include language allowing lights, sound systems etc. Refer to page 14 (sections F and H).
Field Envy - recently other towns have added new Field Turf facilities; Mahwah, Franklin Lks, Oradell, Tenafly and Paramus.
Entitlement - the soccer gang exhibits an attitude of entitlement that makes us nauseous.
But I must defer to my college Ethics professor, Father Al Jolson SJ....the Ends should never justify the means. Just say 'no' to lights and tearing out wooded tracts !

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use the pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time; a tremendous whack.
