Re: [AsburyPark] How others see Asbury Park....
The bishops bleed blue and black, it's team spirit i guess. We can't take away from the fact that these kids get a crappy education and crappy school management, the one thing they do well is football.You could have taken that money and thrown it into the school but it would have just been misappropriated anyway and none of the kids would have benefited. At least this way the handful that work hard for something (even if it's sport) benefit. If they're required to go to school and keep up their grades to play maybe it will encourage others.

Re: [AsburyPark] AP Pop Warner / Donations
Hi It's so funny - i was just thinking this morning when the email came through. Hope you guys had a great vacation, can't believe the summer is now over and reality sets in. Asbury Park Pop Warner Not sure if you know colleseum gym (Carmelo) but he donated too which was really nice. We're 2 games into the season and i cannot tell you a great job the coaches do, this is first year of tiny mites (5,6,7 age group) and the coaches are great and the kids love it, there's 30+ kids enrolled. I can't believe that most of these guys do this and just donate their time without kids on the team for the love of the game and community spirit. Anyway, thanks for the remind and the donation, it's really appreciated.

I just posted a response on the APP website to those who were critical of this project. Here is what I wrote ### Let me preface my comments by saying that I am a former City Councilman in Asbury Park and that I coached for one season at the high school. For people who do not live in Asbury Park and do not work with the kids in the city, I think it is difficult to grasp how little leverage teachers and community leaders have over kids here. Basically, many of the kids in town feel they have nothing to lose, thus the poor graduation rates, crime, gangs, etc. To turn this tide, that leverage has to be created. Now, some might say, it has to start with the families. If this is your response, I would say that you are very much out of touch with the reality that we face. Too many families here are horrifically dysfunctional at best (i.e. this is not a starting point). So, why does having a good athletic facility make sense to address the broader social and economic concerns that have been raised by critics here? 1. You create a first class football program and now the kids have a shot at something through football - college. They do not want to lose this. They love the game. The game can carry them beyond Asbury Park. They now have something to lose - thus, we adults have leverage. Go to class, get good grades, don't get arrested, etc. This all starts to make sense to them when they have something to lose. 2. You keep those good athletes engaged and passing their classes, now they are eligible for other sports - basketball, wrestling, baseball. Now you have them locked into positive activities year-round. Keeps them off the streets. 3. These kids are natural leaders. They are either going to lead in something positive or something negative. Once they start leading in the positive stuff, the other kids will follow, now you start to build real momentum and you have a shot at turning the ship around. So, while a $700k outlay for a field may seem like a lot at first glance, it must be seen as an investment in turning around decades of crime, failure and neglect. Would you rather spend the $700k up front with a plan in place like the above or would you rather keep the cycle going and pay $50-100k per year per kid to have them locked up at Jamesburg? I could go on with the positive potential of this facility and will if asked, but I think readers should get a sense of why this is a very good thing for the AP community and for state taxpayers that are underwriting much of the school and municipal budgets in Asbury Park. I, like many others, want AP to become fiscally self-sufficient, this field, as strange as it may seem, can be a catalyst to move the city in that direction.
