Re: [AsburyPark] Re: where'd everyone go?
Hey if places like Coney Island and Brazil where thousands of people walk and hundreds of people ride bikes can do it so can Asbury Park. Yes, they can designate a bike lane and enforce a speed limit on it. While I did see people on bikes this weekend, a lot of them were respecting others walking,I did see a few who did not. I see no reason we can't have a bike lane as long as the police enforce it. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
[AsburyPark] Re: Happy ~MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND~
--- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, 2fine4u [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, to all our Veterans. Monday, Americans will pause to remember Veterans, from ALL wars. I can't help, but think of the Poem, In Flanders Fields and the wearing of the Poppy, the Memorial Flower. If you see a Veteran, with a bunch of red paper poppies, please give a donation. The funds, from the donations, are used to fund coffee parties at the VA Hospitals, in East Orange, Essex County, Lyons, in Morristown, Veterans Haven, in Cumberland, Creative Arts Festival, for disabled veterans and many other worthy causes, for veterans or the families of veterans. Moina Belle Michael, (8/15/1869-5/10/1944), also known as The Poppy Lady, initiated the use of The Flanders Field Poppy, while serving in the overseas, YMCA War Workers Hamilton Hall, Columbia University, New York City, when the idea came to her, on Saturday, before Armistice, Nov. 9, 1918. She resolved to wear a red poppy, of Flanders Fields as a sign of remembrance and tribute to all who died in Flanders Fields and in the war. Through this idea, the Poppy became universal and permanent, in the national life of the English Speaking world, as a Memorial Symbol, to the men who died for their country. On August 12, 1920, at the Georgia Convention of the State Department American Legion, the Poppy, was a dopted as the Memorial Flower and on September 29, 1920, it was adopted by The National American Legion. In 1921, The American Legion Auxiliary, was organized and they too, adopted the Poppy, as their Memorial Flower. In May, 1940, The National Executive Committee, of The American Legion, as recognition for the benefits resulting from Miss Michael's idea, voted her a Citation for Distinguished Service. Miss Michael, was born near Good Hope, in Walton County, Georgia. This Poppy fact, is being furnished, because a veteran, interviewed by the Coaster, didn't know the origin, of his own Memorial Flower. The Poppy Chairmanship, was the very first committee, I chaired, 20 years ago, when I joined Frederick Dempsey Post 266. The Post, was chartered in Asbury Park, in 1922, after Frederick Dempsey, an Asbury Park resident, of Embury Ave., now a part of Neptune Township. He died in 1918, fighting in France and is buried, in hallowed ground. Every year, a wreath, is placed on his grave, with the use, of Poppy funds. If anyone goes to Veterans' Park on 5th Ave., the Post, has a placque, among all the others and until 2002, was still chartered, in Asbury Park. Post 266, is the host of the Memorial Day Parade and refreshments, will be served afterwards, at 240 Drummond Ave., Neptune. All are invited! Sharon G.

[AsburyPark] Re: where'd everyone go?
Yesterday, I took a bike ride to the boardwalk, fully prepared to dismount and walk my bike. As I was doing so, about 5 bicycles passed me and the 3 cops that were hanging out at the entrance to CH. The cops were deep in conversation and didn't even notice the bikes passing by. I walked my bike about halfway to the Casino, and after noticing about 2 dozen other cyclists riding by, I got on my bike and rode the rest of the way, passing 2 more cops. I noticed that the beach rules sign has been updated to show the new hours that riding is allowed, but why aren't the police paying any attention? The person who posted earlier about the cyclists riding all over the boardwalk is correct, but he needs to realize that if the people don't know what the rules are, and if those rules aren't being enforced then how are they to know they are doing anything wrong. To me, a bunch of other cyclists on the boardwalk says it's ok to ride there. I really don't understand why a simple bike lane hasn't been painted on the boardwalk. AP has an opportunity to be progressive with bikes on the boardwalk and promote responsible bike riding. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, dfsavgny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, firemer@ wrote: Spent a nice Sunday on the Boardwalk enjoying the nice weather and taking in all the sites. My only gripe is that there were cyclists riding in all lanes of the boardwalk, some at really fast speeds. If the council decides to allow bike riding on the boardwalk during prime hours, then there has to be a dedicated lane for all bike riders so the pedestrians can feel at ease and not have to be worried about being hit. If we are not going to allow bike riding on the boardwalk during prime hours, then the no bike riding rules need to be strictly enforced. Had the same thought and conversation this weekend.

[AsburyPark] Mario - APP Response to Pallone
Keeping jobs in Asbury Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 05/29/07 Story Chat Post Comment Metro Homes, which is building the Esperanza high-rise on the Asbury Park beachfront, is helping the city's redeveloper meet its pledge to hire as many city residents as possible for construction jobs. Many of the 50 to 60 workers have been screened by the city's nonprofit job training agency and are gaining valuable experience, and income, working on the condominium project. The hiring system employed by Metro Homes for the project is working the way the city had envisioned. But area labor unions and Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., have their own agendas. Even though union members have worked on other phases of the project, they are upset Metro Homes is not paying the nonunion workers the prevailing wage the hourly wage plus contributing to the worker's pension and benefit package. As usual, it's all about money. One organizer said a first-year apprentice in his dockbuilders, pile drivers and foundation workers union would be paid $14.10 an hour, plus $22 an hour in pension and benefits. He said the nonunion workers on the Esperanza were getting $18 an hour. If we don't take a stand now, we are going to see the continued deterioration of who works on these sites, Pallone said at a protest at the Esperanza last week. The critics are failing to look at the big picture: allowing qualified Asbury Park residents to benefit from the city's revitalization and gain experience in the construction trades. It is vital for the city's economic health that its residents find good jobs. Metro Homes is reaching out to city residents, through the Asbury Works job training program, in accordance with its commitment to the redevelopers and the city. Only a small number of city residents are construction trades union members. The unions should develop their own outreach to bring more residents into their fold and provide the training they need to advance. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Crossing Ocean Ave
Ocean Ave looks great with the striping, etc. I am even encouraged by the striped walkways at corners for pedestrians. Thus far the two way traffic has not presented a problem as expected, however, it is early in the season. On Sat i did almost get hit by a car that was traveling the old one-way (northbound) but which was going way too fast and did not stop for us in the walkway. Luckily a police car came by and they pulled the car over. Let's put the orange cones out at the pedestrian walkways like they do in other towns indicating that it is state law to yield to pedestrians. Rethink a two-way stop sign at the bend near the Empress. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Emory Street - Why are the drug dealers still in biz
The other night, I took a long bike ride all over Asbury. After cruising up and down Cookman, which is looking great, I took a turn down Emory street to head home. I was approached several times by drug dealers on bicycles, asking if i wanted anything etc. I see these same dealers on bikes in my neighborhood all the time. I wonder why this crap is still going on. I know AP has enough trouble to deal with, but how is it that obvious drug activity like that is allowed to continue? And back to the subject of cameras, there are many areas in our city that could benefit from having them. It's pretty depressing to think that Cookman is doing well, yet 2 blocks away it's drug city. I think Asbury needs to work on new ideas on how to deal with it's social problems. Yahoo!

The zoning board will reconvene tonight to consider the application for the variances sought by the Market Street Mission. More important testimony will be heard tonight by the board. I encourage all those who oppose this mission to attend this hearing. The stakes for Asbury Park are rising. This evangelical men's shelter is already attracting homeless individuals to Asbury's streets, parks and boardwalk. These people are are not Asbury residents, former or otherwise. It is no coincidence that these individuals have arrived in town now that the Mission begins operations. Safety and quality of life for all Asbury Park residents is being jeopardized.

May 29, 2007 The Crime Rate Drops, and a City Credits Its Embrace of Surveillance Technology EAST ORANGE, N.J., May 28 — Detective Robert Harris starts patrolling the raw streets of this worn-down city before he even leaves the parking lot at Police Headquarters. After climbing into his patrol car last Thursday, Detective Harris flipped open his dashboard-mounted laptop computer and, with a few clicks, was able to access live images of the streets ahead from video surveillance cameras. A few more clicks, and he could view up-to-the-second police reports in this city of 70,000, which within the past half decade posted crime rates as high as twice the national average and where an average of five cars were reported stolen every day. And if that were not enough, electronic listening devices mounted around the city send an electronic signal to alert officers within seconds of a shooting. “This is something else,” Detective Harris, 30, said with a smile. The convergence of those technological crime-fighting tools is in large part the reason why police statistics show that the crime rate here has declined by more than 50 percent in the past three years, East Orange officials say Mr. Cordero has made a crackdown on so-called quality-of-life crimes a priority — the hope being that attention to relatively minor issues like loitering and curfew violations by youngsters will deter such infractions from evolving into more serious crimes. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Emory Street - Why are the drug dealers still in biz
Sometimes the public see things that are wrong, obvious things. It makes you wonder why, or how police can't see this? There are lots of things police are kept busy with, so its understandable sometimes. But when you see things right out in the open, and there are police ridding by... why arn't they picking up on the same things the public are? - Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.
