Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Little League
Sound to me the Board is the problem. As you mentioned here the Board has to take the first step. Rather than placing blame maybe this is where they can start. Why is the state official here to begin with? Possibly from over spending, poor results etc. Again with all the money this school system takes in, why are these kids playing in such poor conditions? I am not pointing out any one person, and sadly they continue to get elected. But I believe if the residents were paying for the schools via property taxes, there would be change due to discontent. Since the state is funding, I guess that is why they are here. - Original Message From: asburycheech [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 2:48:52 PM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Little League --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, asburycouple asburycouple@ ... wrote: It is amazing to me that something that seems to have always been so broadly supported by the people of this city (who usually never agree on anything) is being scuttled by an attorney and a monitor who don't live here. Aren't there so much more important issues that the school board attorney and monitor should be focused on - like the fact that we are still paying Dr. Lewis or the fact that the school performance needs tremendous improvements? That's what the monitor was brought in to fix - not this. Are the real problems just too hard? Is that why the monitor has chosen to focus here instead - to justify their existence without having to tackle the real and hard issues? This is just another bad joke on the people of Asbury Park. We can never seem to help ourselves, but clearly those who are supposed to help from outside can't or won't either. Stopping the Little League isn't helping anyone. Do I have your permission to read your statement at the BOE meeting next Wednesday? Anyone else also who would like their statement of support for the Little League read into the record, I would be happy to do so.

He does not have the power of prior restraint. He is in essence the viceroy of the Commissioner of Education and ultimately the governor, but until the BOE is removed we are still the elected officials here. What this man is doing is disenfranchising the voters of Asbury Park, and in his zeal, to put it charitably, he is reaching back even to the bond issue of 1997, which promised a refurbished little league field where it is now as part of the two million dollars voted on by the citizens of Asbury Park. He is indeed a miracle man who is not only bringing together people who have not been able to work together for years, but is changing the past as well. The people of Asbury Park voted for the Little League Field to be there, and that's where it should remain. We do indeed need a first class facility as well at the Intermediate School. These kids have been playing on a disgusting moonscape there, much to the shame of the BOE and the people responsible for maintaining that field. But do not let the state monitor/viceroy/ czar confuse the issue. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. In time we can and must have decent facilities at both sites. But now it's the long-suffering Little League's turn to get the improvements at the present field that they have worked so hard to pay for and work towards. A man who has been here five minutes, forces us to pay him a ridiculous amount of money ($600 a day plus expenses five days a week, 52 weeks a year, all while he continues to pull down a hefty pension) to put forth edicts like some potentate out of Zanadu could better spend his time and our money helping to solve problems that are really problems; and we have enough of those to keep anyone busy for a lifetime.

It's already well documented. Amazing with all the money pissed away, you cant have a couple patches of grass to play ball on. I'll buy the grass seed. YOu know what, in addition to what's been raised for THIS project - whyh should it have to be raised at all? Why should it be? It should be funded from the BOE, the the city. Grass seed, sprinklers, clay and lime. How much was stolen in years past on the variuos stadium projects? How much? It's pretty nice you get people to donate big chunks of $ to do something that the state already paid for. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: As if life weren't depressing enough...
Isn't it ironic? Tom was terriffic, back when the Mets were Amazin', the Yankees had Mister October, Reggie Jackson and other superstars, who were wiry, rather than buffed up! I met Daryl Strawberry, while I was at a luncheon, last year and he's still wiry, can probably still hit a bat, has a winning personality, gave me his autograph, because I gave him words of encouragement and told him to get his act together, because I believed in him, as do so many others! I gave him my Mama speech, the kind, older Black elders, are prone to do, when they love someone. I loved Thurmon Munson, tragically killed and I loved it, when Baseball was just a game, my boys played over in Neptune, in the Pony Leagues at the SAME ballfields, on Jumping Brook Road and Old Corlies ave. They looked like 2 little bobble-heads, in their uniforms! I began getting my tan in March, when the season opened. My youngest son, played Babe Ruth, until he entered Glassboro, now Rowan. I now follow Legion Baseball and was at the All-Star Game at Monmouth University, back in the summer. I was thrilled to be amongst kids from Monmouth County playing against Ocean County. Not caring who won, but the sportsmanship being taught that day. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, justifiedright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, 2fine4u sharon_b283@ wrote: It also seems to me, that they beat the hell out of Barry Bonds, while overlooking Andy Pettit, the Rocket, who injected his, into his buttocks and others. You are correct Sharon. Clemens in particular should be treated exactly as Bonds. Bonds is the most dominant post world war II hitter, ditto for Clemens as pitcher. Both would have made it to the HOF without juice. Both has that tell tall sign of juicing by having their numbers get better in their late 30's and early 40's. Both are blowing the hell out of everyone else's records, unfairly. The Olympic governing body does it right - they stripped Marion Jones. If baseball were as pure then Bonds, Clemens, Pettitte. Tejada, etc. would all have their rings and records stripped. Hitters and Pitchers? Hammerin' Hank and Tom Terrific are still my heroes. Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] So with all due respect, what part of that didn't you understand
Kevin Martin, Chair of the FCC is proposing to re-regulate radio and TV. So what that means is more of that canned public service and religious programming on Sunday mornings when no one is listening the way it was in the good old days. That didn't provide anything you described either. Another proposal they plan on bringing back is Minority Tax Certificates. If you sell a broadcast facility to a minority group you get a certificate, as a seller, that will reduce your capital gains obligation to the IRS. They did away with these during deregulation.
