Jeeze! If our Mayor was insulted by someone on Council, it seems to me he should be able to take care of himself. If he wasn't aware that he was being insulted, that is another matter. I've always liked Hank, so I'd rather hear it from him. All this…

Tax increase for Ridley Park Approved

As the snow began to fall, the wind was howling inside Borough Hall last night as Borough Council passed the 2010 budget and increased the taxes of Ridley Park residents. With a 5 to 2 vote, Council approved the 2010 budget that increases the per capita tax, raises the real estate tax, and passes along the County sewer tax that the County hands down to the Borough.

With the outside temperature in the upper 20's, the heat inside the Borough Hall was on high during the meeting. In a perf… Continue

Preparing for snow picture taking

There's a big snow storm predicted tomorrow and that means we'll have lots of opportunities for taking snow pictures and uploading them onto RidleyParkOnline. While a fresh snow fall produces an abundance of breathtaking backyard Ridley Park subjects, it's actually pretty tricky to take a good picture of snow. Besides the hazardous conditions for your equipment, the reflections off the bright snow can wash-out your pictures and you'll end up with gray snow instead of capturing the emotions of th… Continue

Borough Council still working out budget kinks

Council Finance Chairman Suzanne Murtha, at last week’s meeting, said the final budget for 2010 is still being worked on and council hopes it can be passed at its Feb. 2 workshop meeting.

Council President Bob Berger read a statement at the meeting in which he contends the borough accounts were nearly $20,000 in arrears when the new council was officially sworn in on Jan. 4. He said in December the previous council announced there would be a tax decrease in 2010.

“However, the reality is that… Continue

Refinishing interior woodwork

I am in the process of refinishing a staircase. The interesting thing is that old-time woodwork was finished in shellac or lacquer and not varnish. Varnish was used on floors but not doors, trim, and stairways. So that means if you want to refinish that old, blackened, and alligatored woodwork, you don't need paint and varnish remover and do the old slop and scrap gig. All you have to do is put denaturned alcohol or shellac thinner on steel wool and rub and the old blackened finish comes right o… Continue

Book recommendation: Fool by Christopher Moore

If you are looking for an irreverent, bawdy*, laugh-out-loud funny take on Shakespeare's King Lear, try this book. Now it's confession time: I have never read King Lear, so I don't know how closely (if at all) Moore's novel follows that classic. But this story of Pocket, King Lear's fool, and his dealings with the king, his daughters, and the country at large is really a lot of fun. I experienced it by means of an audiobook (available through our very own Delco Library System), and the reader wa… Continue
