BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Excitement is building in Bloomfield for the April 8 total solar eclipse. And although the town’s residents aren’t among the 32 million Americans living in the “path of totality,” they can still catch a partial glimpse of the celestial rarity.

In the United States, the path of totality extends from Texas to Maine, but each of the 48 continental states will see some of the solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon slips between our bright star and Earth.

In the Bloomfield area, the moon will cover about 90.6 percent of the sun at the peak of the eclipse, according to a NASA map that is searchable by ZIP code.

Here are the local details for the eclipse:

The total solar eclipse starts in Mexico, entering the United States in Texas and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, as well as small parts of Tennessee and Michigan, before entering Canada in southern Ontario through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton before exiting continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

If you plan to take in the total eclipse of the sun on April 8, the right eye protection is crucial for safety. Sunglasses won’t cut it.

Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the moon completely blocks the sun’s bright face and only solar corona visible, it is unsafe to look directly at the sun without specialized eye protection to block harmful solar radiation, according or NASA.

Amazon has a wide collection of NASA-approved solar eclipse glasses, and the American Astronomical Society has more vendors whose eclipse glasses have been certified as safe. Wherever you acquire protective eyewear, it should meet or exceed the international safety standard of ISO 12312-2:2015.

One other safe way to view the eclipse is with a do-it-yourself pinhole projector that shows the sun on a nearby surface. The American Astronomical Society has pinhole projector DIY instructions.

Eclipse chasers who plan to photograph the event or view it through binoculars or telescopes need to take precautions, too.

“Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury,” NASA said.

Also, solar filters protect the camera’s imaging sensor as well as correct for the exposure, according to camera maker Nikon. See Related: How To Hear The Eclipse When It’s Unsafe To View It, Even With Protective Eyewear

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The average homeowner’s property tax in Bloomfield increased 2.01 percent last year, the latest state data shows.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs recently released the 2023 tax tables for each municipality in the state.

In 2023, the average Bloomfield homeowner paid $11,561 in property taxes on a home valued at $353,851. Here are the previous four years for comparison:

Some experts have pointed out that a high tax bill doesn't necessarily mean a homeowner is getting ripped off – it depends on what you get for the money.

“While no taxpayers in high-tax jurisdictions will be celebrating their yearly payments, it's worth noting that property taxes are largely rooted in the ‘benefit principle’ of government finance – the people paying the bills are most often the ones benefiting from the services,” researchers from The Tax Foundation recently wrote.

It’s easy to make comparisons between municipalities based on their average tax bills. But if you take a look at a town’s “effective tax rate” – the amount of property tax paid relative to a home’s value – a much different story emerges.

Many of the wealthier towns in Essex County often pay a significantly lower effective tax rate, a trend that some local pundits have called attention to in the past. Read More: Tax Gap In Essex County; Many Wealthier Towns Pay Lower Rates

Taxes and home values have gone up steadily throughout New Jersey over the past decade, regardless of what political party is in the governor's seat.

Venezia Recommends Pay Raises For Bloomfield Council, Mayor

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Bloomfield Town Council may be getting ready to give its members – and the town’s mayor – their first pay raise in decades.

During this week’s council meeting, former mayor Michael Venezia – who was recently sworn in to his new post as a New Jersey assembly member – recommended that the council “get the ball rolling” on an ordinance that would give themselves a pay bump.

“Since this is my last meeting, I felt that I should start the ball rolling to increase the mayor and council compensation,” Venezia said.

In 1984, the salaries stood at $7,000, and that’s where they still are today, Venezia said.

“I am giving a recommendation of raising the council salary to $12,000 a year and the mayor salary to $18,000 a year,” he said, telling his former colleagues that “the ball is in your court.”

Venezia added that he is also recommending that future raises be tied to the Consumer Price Index to adjust for inflation on a yearly basis.

A council ordinance would have to be passed on first and second readings to finalize any salary raises. The issue is expected to be raised again at the next council meeting on Monday, Jan. 22.

Two council members commented on Venezia’s recommendation on Monday.

Nicholas Joanow – the council’s senior member at 15 years of service – thanked Venezia for broaching the topic. He acknowledged that asking the public for a pay increase isn’t always a popular idea. But it’s something that’s long overdue, he said.

“I don't think anyone but anyone would accept a job position with the understanding that you would remain at that same salary for 15 years,” Joanow said, asking Bloomfield residents to “walk in our shoes” and recognize that his peers often devote time on the weekends and evenings to their jobs as council members.

Joanow added that council members are often asked to make contributions to local charities and attend community events on their own dime.

Councilwoman Wartyna Davis – who said she wasn’t aware that a seat on the council comes with a stipend when she first ran for office – also spoke in favor of raising council and mayor salaries in Bloomfield.

According to Davis, if the current salaries had been adjusted for inflation since the last time they were raised, they would be at nearly $21,000.

Davis also acknowledged that raises for local elected officials can easily become a political issue, and that “you don't want it to be weaponized in a way against you.”

“But I think it does benefit us to really think about how to do this in a fair way,” she said.

Council meetings are held at 7 p.m. in the council chambers on second floor of the municipal building, 1 Municipal Plaza.

Defying the "grass ceiling," Bloomfield will soon have its second woman-owned marijuana dispensary when Blue Oak opens its doors.

Patch Staff

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Some experts have warned about a “grass ceiling” in the legal marijuana industry, which has seen chronic gender-based disparities in the past. But soon, Bloomfield will be home to its second woman-owned cannabis retailer when Blue Oak Dispensary opens its doors to the public.

Bloomfield’s newest cannabis dispensary – which is located at 1025 Broad Street – will celebrate its grand opening from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25. The event will include a ribbon cutting ceremony, music, prizes, donuts and hot drinks by the Glazed and Confused food truck (RSVP online here).

Following the grand opening, Blue Oak will be open seven days a week (9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday).

Founder Danielle Wildstein said the goal is to “create a nurturing atmosphere” that promotes unity and well-being.

“We're dedicated to offering a safe, inclusive and welcoming space where people can explore the positive impacts of cannabis on their well-being,” the New Jersey native said.

Like many other cannabis entrepreneurs in the Garden State, Wildstein wasn’t always in the 420 business.

According to a news release from Blue Oak:

“Owner and CEO Danielle Wildstein leverages over two decades of multifaceted expertise and a master’s degree in human resources in the business world. From her beginnings as a management consultant at Accenture, Danielle excelled in diverse roles, contributing significantly to mergers and acquisitions, clinical trials, new drug launches, and supply chain integration for her pharmaceutical clients. She then transitioned to chief of staff positions supporting titans within the retail, film and fashion industries.”

The entrepreneur is now hoping to put that mélange of work experience into action at Blue Oak. And that includes going beyond simply providing people with a well-appreciated bit of greenery, she says.

“We're here to empower our community through cannabis education,” Wildstein said.

Blue Oak isn’t the only woman-owned marijuana dispensary looking to make a difference in Bloomfield.

Nightjar – a women and minority-owned dispensary located at 549 Bloomfield Avenue – held a grand opening in January with a pledge to “take cannabis out of the shadows and into its prominent place in our community.”
