Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Pickelball anyone?

I am not saying I agree with putting a skatepark where a tennis court is,
but a skatepark will benefit our community and children. Its been proven to
reduce crime, and improve graduation rates among HS students in urban
communities throughout the country.

Check out the Tony Hawk Foundation or Rob Dyrdeks foundation. They do great
work.

With that said, given the increase in local kids skating, a skatepark would
be a great asset to Asbury Park, however, putting it in a unused tennis
court is not the answer.

 The Tennis Courts at the Middle School are not used for tennis ... But...
 A presentation was made tonight by an organized Skateboard group to use the
 courts for skateboarding...

[AsburyPark] Tennis Courts...

2013-04-04 Thread oakdorf
let's go back for the reason for the tennis courts - 

 - something like to bring the community together give the kids blah blah

 - somewhere maybe 5 years ago they paid people to engineer it etc etc  - 
probably another million for a 100,000 or less job. Just a guess.

tennis program only appears to exist for grades 5-8 according to rec info on 
city website. so I guess after 8th grade nothing exists?

I think the tennis courts should be utilized for what they were intended for 
and they should be named the Serena and Venus Williams Tennis Courts.

and then someone can start FB pages to save the serena and venus williams 
tennis courts in asbury park  

as for pickle-ball - it would be a great use there. ONE tennis court = TWO 
pickle-ball courts. 2-4 players  or 8 players.

[AsburyPark] I would tell our friend Mario to vote for whomever he likes.............

2013-04-04 Thread ediththeelephant666
I would only caution that a vote for the incumbents, may be tatamount to 
securing passage on the Titanic. 'Uniting Asbury Park' is simply a positive 
phrase. I like the concept. It is certainly not a declarative statement 
steering anyone to a political conclusion. Anyone who thinks that...needs a 
stiff drink! Have a nice day!

[AsburyPark] Dictatorship rears its head at Asbury Towers.........

2013-04-04 Thread ediththeelephant666
Did you happen to see the letter Ms. Rachelson wrote to the Asbury Park Sun. 
That is the fine internet media outlet edited by the astute and quite beautiful 
Ms. Mulshine (daughter of the legendary Star-Ledger columnist, the great Paul 
Mulshine). It is part of the Tri-City news' media empire. It seems Ms. 
Raphelson is reincarnating the spirit of Benito Musselini. She is clearly 
mandating that every voter in the Towers must vote for the One AsburyPark 
ticket for council. She also wants to prohibit any other candidate from 
speaking to the Tower electorate. Now, I personally think everyone should have 
the right to vote for whomever they want without being bullied. I also believe 
all 22 candidates should have equal access to the Towers electorate. That is 
the law. I think Ms. Rachelson has overstepped her bounds and an inquiry should 
be made to the ACLU to investigate the matter. I hope this doesn't lead to 
potential litigation against Ms Raphelson and the Tower directors. Perhaps the 
fine people whose reputations have been besmirched should investigate. Wasn't 
the Towers recently refurbished with money from HUD. That's a federal agency. 
Should Attorney General Eric Holder's office be contacted? This may be very 
serious. Anyway, I would expect the nice people on the OneAsbury ticket to all 
together publically rebute this un-Constitutional behavior. It just isn't 
right! If the OneAsbury group does not condemn this act I personally will 
question their moral fortitude as to whether they are fit for the council. Have 
a pleasant day!
