the fearsome effects of entropy


I am watching a little squirrel scratch and bite himself on the tree stump in our courtyard. I miss the tree, and surely the squirrel does, too. To make matters worse, the apartment building directly across from us -- the one that used to be partially hidden by the foliage -- has been repainted an awful, unsightly terra-cotta color reminiscent of the worst excesses of the American Southwest. If all of this new money and new interest is really pouring into Jersey City Rising, why does everything around me seem to be deteriorating?

The Journal has continued its thorough coverage of Arborgate with two pieces -- one an account of Rikki Reich's jailhouse stay, and another about the City Councilman's bail-posting adventure. Unsurprisingly, the police account of the arrest differs dramatically from Rikki's own: the Department claims she struck an officer. I missed the confrontation, so I can't say for sure, but it seems unlikely that Rikki could have posed a threat to anybody in uniform. I suppose that at some point a judge will weigh in, too, and it'll all be he-said-she-said until then, (and probably considerably after then).

Elsewhere Downtown, the wave crashes on. Here on Grand, the first structures that will eventually become the gigantic Liberty Harbor North complex are being glued together and propped up at the side of the road like a great billboard advertising the future. Fourteen blocks to the north, Hamilton Park awaits its own inevitable transformation. A woman named Sheila Kirven wrote to me on Monday, asking if I knew anything about plans to convert the old St. Francis Hospital into condominiums and rental units. I told her I didn't. She pointed me to the website of a local watchdog group. Construction and demolition are spectator sports.

6 ways to prevent child abduction;
1. Never leave your child alone in a public place, car, or stroller.
2. Point out a safety house or houses in your neighbourhood, where children can go if they are in troble.
3. Check older friends of your child and all potential babysitters.
4. Do not use clothing or toys with your childs name on it. A child will less likely fear someone who knows his/her name.
5. Always accompany your child to a public restroom.
6. Keep an up-to-date color photograph of your child. a child I.D, and medical and dental history, and have your child fingerprinted. Child Abduction is a growing concern and there are simple precautions that you can take to help safeguard your children.
