[AsburyPark] The value of forums
From Local Cities, Global Problems: Jane Jacobs in an Age of Global Change But the influence of communication technology is beginning to have an impact at the neighborhood scale as well. Jacobs wrote that "word does not move around where public characters and sidewalk life are lacking." Now it does. There are the people paused at the top of the subway stairs, occupying two spaces at once, one physical, one virtual. And in neighborhoods around the countrythis one in particularcommunity online message boards and blogs are thriving, entirely in parallel with news passed stoop to stoop. The "in parallel" part is crucial. Outside.In, a website designed to gather and organize neighborhood news, published a list of "America's Top 10 Bloggiest Neighborhoods." What was striking (but perhaps not surprising) is that all were living examples of the kind of places Jacobs championed: Clinton Hill in Brooklyn, Portrero Hill in San Francisco, Shaw in Washington. If the physical form of a neighborhood is conducive to community, so is its virtual form. But the other striking thing about the list was that all the neighborhoods were in a state of changegentrifying or recently gentrified. It's certainly demographic: a neat and obvious alignment of hipster and blogger. But it also means that the newly emerging character of these places is being forged, at least in part, online. These are incontrovertibly real-world neighborhoods, but their community is as virtual as it is physical. With each year, we get better at navigating between the two. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] VOTE NO ON QUESTION THREE, AND ALL THIS NOVEMBER
TRENTON â" The coalition pushing voters to approve the state borrowing $200 million to preserve land in the state said yesterday that recent ads railing against the ballot question were "deliberate lies" and "vicious, false attacks." The Keep it Green Campaign, made up of 90 pro-preservation organizations, looked to debunk claims made by Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan in recent ads and columns saying the program would take property from homeowners unwillingly, replace single-family home construction with high density housing and raise taxes. While the funding would have the state add more debt, Jeff Tittel, director of the state chapter of the Sierra Club, said local towns looking to buy land to preserve rely on state money for reimbursement. "Without the state match, local property taxes would have to go up higher to buy those pieces of open space those towns want to buy," said Tittel. After learning of the coalition's statements, Lonegan responded, "To say that it won't raise taxes is an insult to the taxpayers of the state." "The state's at a breaking point, we can't afford any of this nonsense anymore," said Lonegan, who lost a bid for the Republican nomination for governor in 2005 and now heads the state chapter of Americans for Prosperity. " . . . When it comes to land use, we have to let the free market decide and not the government, not the planners of Trenton." If approved, the measure provides stopgap funding for one year of purchases, state fiscal year 2009, which begins next July. It would provide $109 million for open space, $73 million for farmland preservation, $12 million to buy flood-prone areas and $6 million for historic site preservation. The state, which the group says loses 40 acres per day to development, has about $170 million left to last until then. The Legislature is expected to look for a longer source of funding in the upcoming lame-duck session. Yahoo!

These guys are democrats, Lonegan is a republican. Tax payers can not afford any more state spending for pet projects, especially where eminent domain can be applied in an abusive manner.

[AsburyPark] Re: Do what belmar did
The police dept. does need help. I'm going to redescribe the results of my phone call the other night when I called about the kids smoking pot in the park; 1) Me - I call the PD and make the report 2) Me - I call a few minutes later to find out what happened. The PD said they found nothing and let them go. I expressed concern that one of them looked me directly in the eye. Dispatcher pretty much blows it off and says I have nothing to worry about, we know who these three are. They don't ask me for any personal information. Is that how a PD is supposed to operate? I don't think so. 3) Next day, on a bike ride. Same three kids in CH smoking pot. One of them stares me down on the north side of CH Does anybody else see a problem with this. Now, when you smoke pot, you reek. I called the PD about a minute after encountering the kids. They had to reek. Did the PD even make a complete search of the 3 kids. I sincerely doubt it, because they were gone from the scene pretty quickly. Conclusion - The kids have no fear of getting busted, and the PD let them go. And I have to live with the knowledge that the kids know who I am, but the PD doesn't even know my name. That sounds like a major problem to me. I'm fed up. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.

[AsburyPark] Last Night's BOE meeting
Dear Group Members, This is a report on the Asbury Park School Board meeting of Thursday, October 18. As only one member of the BOE, I am obliged to say that I do not speak for the board. As meetings go, this one was relatively short (7 to 9:10 PM) and almost rancor-free! The public was given the opportunity to speak on agenda items, and no member of the public came forward at that time. The administrators responsible for curriculum gave us a 20 minute presentation on the testing results for the district. Overall, the results did show a slight improvement in some grades, a substantial increase in others, and flat or even a small decrease in isolated cases. There was enough of an improvement, believe it or not, for the state to say that we have met "A.Y.P", that is adequate yearly progress for the first time in many years. Of course, what is adequate progress for the state is just rising from the depths that we had plumbed. But it is progress nevertheless, and it must be built upon. Donna Muzzicato, the new director of curriculum, gave us a presentation on what each school in the district is doing to correct past deficiencies and to improve instruction. (In my view, improving instruction and increasing test scores are not necessarily synonymous, and we are off to the best year in a long time in all of our schools, especially the Intermediate School and the High School. But we have a long, long way to go.) Mrs. Sanders and I did get into a bit of a tussle in reference to the new Math Program for grades 3, 4, and 5. She regretted our disposal of "Communicator Math" and I cheered the fact that it was gone and replaced with a more traditional program, namely McGraw-Hill. "Communicator Math" is now used fully in only one other district in New Jersey, namely Jersey City, the home of the originator of the program, a favorite with the State. When the time came for the public to speak on non-agenda items, four members of the public came forward. One said that not all teachers had received materials and books yet. Mr. Parham, the Acting Superintendent, said that he personally would see to it that the situation was remedied the following day. The other comments pertained to the Little League, which our closed session was to be about, and others asked us to set a date for a community forum on the QSAC report and to improve communication with the public via a newsletter. Our closed session lasted about 20 minutes and when we returned, voted to give the Little League the green light to go ahead with their second phase, pending resolution of typical Asbury Park deed restrictions and submission of a site plan that has already been prepared. Danny McKee and the rest of the parents and friends (and the kids, of course) of the newly revived Asbury Park Little League should be commended for working so hard and jumping though all the bureaucratic hoops presented to them. Their determination in this often-frustrating place is very admirable. When it came time for comments from the Board, I expressed my dismay at the firing of the woman who had done so much to put the SPOT program (our school based youth services program at the high school) in such good shape last year. She was summarily fired by the outside agency that the State of New Jersey forced us to outsource the program to. They had said our kids would lose those services at the High School unless we handed the program, which was finally going very well, over to an outside agency to run inside the high school. Some board members, including myself, voted to do so when that agency said they would retain the woman who had run it so well. With no warning at all, she was fired this month. I would hate to think that this was a "bait and switch" tactic to get approval, fire the director, and then replace her almost immediately. We do not treat our own employees in this manner, and we expected, perhaps naively, that no one running a school program for our kids in our high school would treat their employees so abruptly and without any due process whatsoever. Some of the BOE members asked our administrators to look into the situation and report back to us. Frank D'Alessandro Yahoo!

1. Go after the landlords for actions of their tenants (which I think is a stretch) - Park a police car (loaded - guns, dogs, vests, lights) in front of known problem areas - day after day, night after night. 2. see belmarrentals411.com - and their map. http://www.belmar.com/rentals/Map.asp 3. Then go back, how many "problems" are at Housing Authority units? Then face the facts - you have a great new (yes, great and new) effort going up AND you have a West Side (mostly) that is in deep, deep, trouble. So forget what the partners did or didn't do or whose gay or the bullshit fighting amongst council members you know why - cause it's all bullshit. The Police Department needs help. The schools need help. Take some of themoney the school gets and give it the police department. Bring in other towns to assist. Time to take control. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Fatally.
Like I said. It's IRAQ in AP. Time to bring in troops and some bulldozer and rebuild. Take a few hundred million that's getting tossed out over there and pokceted and toss it here and let some stuff get done and let some money get stolen. How muych worse can it be? AS for the cameras, the city should just rent some big seach lights and stick on Springwood, in front of hinges, down bangs and drive around with them on. A start. Otherwise, you'll have channel 2 here doing a story with their cameras on a "stalled" development and springsteen will be writing a new song. Bring in the tanks. Yahoo!

- Drive down springwood and around Ave a to the neptune border/ridge etc. I did the other day because I had to. Look at the barrack housng that was constructed many moons ago. Sure, it's housing, but maybe it's time to start knocking down the village and building new subsidized housing. Yea, I'm saying spend more government money and building more of a community instead of the old chicken coop housing. - more green a place for kids to run vs in the street. I don't know if thats the answer or if there will EVER be one, but a bulldozer is a start. HOw are you going to attract business to Springwood if the guy/gal behind the counter doesn't feel safe. You don't want storefronts with solid steel doors or people working behind bullet proof glass just to sell a soda. Massive crackdown, day in day out. Pretend its Iraq.

She called me around 10:40 to say she just heard gunshots someone screaming and then the sirens. Another friend confirmed it this morning. It's getting really ridiculous something truly has to be done. The other problem is that it's not just happening in AP. Gang violence is happening all over. We the older generation are afraid to stand up to it. We will make our comment to others and via emails but no one is willing to stand up and fight as it may put themselves or their families in harms way (for which I can't blame anyone for not doing) but we will soon have to stand up to these idiots who have no value for life or else we will have to go into hiding until our knight in shining armor rescues us. - Original Message From: Jack Pitzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 11:46:56 AM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: another shooting in ap Yikes.

[AsburyPark] Re: group
Thanks Sharon! I have a feeling that proper lighting would solve the problem in Library Square Park in a hurry. It's not so much that it's overrun with drug users, but there is definitely something bad going on there on almost a nightly basis now. The main reason I'm aware of it is because I walk my dog there virtually every morning, and every morning the fountain area has new empty drug bags and new empty liquor bottles, and now people are using the damaged fountain as a garbage dump. I hate it, and I'm sick of it. The park is for everybody. But nobody wants to walk around in a mess, and children should not be exposed to what goes on there. I can imagine a little kid picking up one of those drug bags and wondering "what's this?" The problem isn't just partial to the fountain area, it's also in the surrounding shubbery and trees. I've seen used condoms, condom wrappers, human excrement. I've seen people peeing there after dark too. And the litter problem just makes me want to cry. I will never be able to understand the mentality of people who think the world is their garbage can. Another thing I've been noticing increasingly is that people seem to think that the fountain is their ashtray as well. It disgusts me. For contrast, I like to walk my dog in the park in Ocean Grove on the other side of the footbridge. There's a very similar fountain there that has been transformed into a beautiful garden display. It's well lit at night, and that park is always much cleaner. One thing that bothers me is that the PD either knows that the park is dark at night and is dragging their feet about it, or they are unaware of the problem, which would shock me because I know people call in when they spot trouble. There seems to be some kind of disconnect in our city about where the PD is patrolling at night. I've mentioned this before concerning The Met Hotel porch. If you were to take a look there right now, you'd see lot's of empty beer cases, beer cans, cloths etc. Obviously somebody has been partying there at night. I've also been in touch with the Asbury Park Historical Society, and they are trying to get somebody from JCPL to fix the lights, and somehow that's taking a long time as well. And let's not forget, the APHS got donations to fix the fountain, install sprinkers etc. Wouldn't it be a good idea for the city to have done something to protect that investment of peoples donation money? Unfortunately, nothing was done, the fountain is a mess, and the vandalism continues, as recently as last week. I also think that the destruction of the 3 globes on the top of the fountain may have been done by kids who were told to do so by local drug dealers. It's to the drug dealers benefit to have the park dark at night. And it light of recent arrests that showed that west side heroin dealers were using young children to sell drugs, it's pretty obvious that this is entirely possible. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "2fine4u" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -I wish you'd run for office!

[AsburyPark] New Place to Send the Homeless - Ocean County Churches
Churches will form network to provide help to the homeless Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 10/19/07 BY MATT PAIS MANAHAWKIN BUREAU Post Comment STAFFORD Are you your brother's keeper? A group of southern Ocean County clergy looking to start an outreach program for the homeless are certain the answer is in the affirmative. Representatives of more than two-dozen congregations packed King of Kings Community Church on Thursday night to hear information about the national Interfaith Hospitality Network, a branch of which they hope to establish locally. "This is a beautiful concept, and I think it is going to provide a real way to start to deal with homelessness here," said the Rev. Patrick J. Sharkey, pastor of King of Kings. The Interfaith Hospitality Network, headed by Summit-based Family Promise, seeks to help low-income families in search of stable housing. It calls for a group of 13 to 18 congregations within a single region to band and create a rotating hospitality schedule by which each house of worship hosts between three and five families for one week at a time. While rotating among host sites, program participants have access to a single "day center" in the immediate area where they may spend the hours between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. showering, caring for young children and seeking employment. They then return to eat donated meals and sleep at their designated host site. "It's a wonderful program. It takes a lot of people working together to get started, but once it does, it works," said the Rev. Liz R. Waid, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Little Egg Harbor. Waid has seen the program launched at churches in Gloucester County and in New Brunswick. The results have been positive, she said, and bringing Family Promise to southern Ocean County would be just as successful. "There's a lack of services here and the need isn't going away," she said. A survey conducted by Southern Ocean County Hospital's own Interfaith Health Services group in 2006 found about 100 families between Lacey and Little Egg Harbor either homeless or at risk of losing their their home. That number is likely to climb in the future, said Joanne Leichte, who directed the survey. "Affordable housing seems to be an issue in our area. The cost to live here has gone up and as this area has gotten more populated, for the working poor, it begins to be difficult to secure stable housing," Leichte said. At St. Francis Roman Catholic parish on Long Beach Island, the need to address homelessness has never been more apparent. Brother Kevin Kriso said the parish's human services department fields at least one call daily from someone in need of housing. "Every day we're on the phone, and it's just heartbreaking because we don't have anywhere to send them," Kriso said. Sharkey hopes kick-starting a hospitality network is the answer. He already has oral commitments from more than the requisite 13 congregations needed to establish a new network, and senses a passion to do more among those manning existing food pantries and outreach centers. "It's something we're very excited about," he said. In addition to giving shelter to the needy, the program provides families with access to social workers as well as transportation to and from day centers. The network also coordinates the set-up and transportation of beds from each weekly location. "The best part of all this is it's been done before. It works," Sharkey said. Organizers say a chapter needs start-up funding of between $90,000 and $125,000, much of which can be obtained through state or federal grants. Volunteer congregations then need to budget about $200 per host week, which happen between three and fives times annually depending on how many groups are involved in a rotation. Rather than tackle the broad issue of homelessness with a single sweeping plan, the Family Promise method narrows the scope of those eligible for the program. There's no room for substance abuse or severe illness, but plenty of help for parents or guardians with children but no roof over their head. "When you hear homeless, immediately your mind shifts to the guy holding a sign that says, "Will work for food,' " said Tom Cioffi, board president of Family Promise's Gwinnett County, Ga., chapter who spoke at King of Kings Thursday. "But it's also the people who got into a car accident and fell behind or whose house burned in a fire and now they have no where to go. Those are the folks we want to help." Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Open Space Bill Rigged
TRENTON — The coalition pushing voters to approve the state borrowing $200 million to preserve land in the state said yesterday that recent ads railing against the ballot question were "deliberate lies" and "vicious, false attacks." The Keep it Green Campaign, made up of 90 pro-preservation organizations, looked to debunk claims made by Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan in recent ads and columns saying the program would take property from homeowners unwillingly, replace single-family home construction with high density housing and raise taxes. While the funding would have the state add more debt, Jeff Tittel, director of the state chapter of the Sierra Club, said local towns looking to buy land t o preserve rely on state money for reimbursement. "Without the state match, local property taxes would have to go up higher to buy those pieces of open space those towns want to buy," said Tittel. After learning of the coalition's statements, Lonegan responded, "To say that it won't raise taxes is an insult to the taxpayers of the state." "The state's at a breaking point, we can't afford any of this nonsense anymore," said Lonegan, who lost a bid for the Republican nomination for governor in 2005 and now heads the state chapter of Americans for Prosperity. " . . . When it comes to land use, we have to let the free market decide and not the government, not the planners of Trenton." If approved, the measure provides stopgap funding for one year of purchases, state fiscal year 2009, which begins next July. It would provide $109 million for open space, $73 million for farmland preservation, $12 million to buy flood-prone areas and $6 million for historic site preservation. The state, which the group says loses 40 acres per day to development, has about $170 million left to last until then. The Legislature is expected to look for a longer source of funding in the upcoming lame-duck session. ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
