[AsburyPark] Re:"Swan" Clarification
Thanks, Mario, for the additional details on the Black Swan book. But you didn't tell me if you agree with Taleb's current prediction. That was my question. I still say Charles Morris' book, Trillion Dollar Meltdown, is equally prophetic. If I remember correctly, before I read Morris's book I read by means of an introduction to it that Morris helped develope the software used by the Masters of the Universe to create these structured products. But the software was eventually misused by the industry. His book predicts the whole collapse. BTW, for those who didn't see it last night, 60 Minutes on CBS reported on the fact that these toxic assets by and large had no direct link to the mortgage industry anymore than betting on a football game derives any security from the finances of the 'underlying' team. So my earlier posts on this have been validated. Now what? How's this suggestion for fiscal stimulus: Why don't the government wizards remove income limits on how much people can earn in addition to their social security? Yes, Social Security levels are precarious too, but... Right now, the Late Boomers, as we're called, can't afford to collect our social security and carry our mortgages because of the outmoded limit placed on what can be earned on top of it. This would be a less intrusive way of securing mortgages, avoiding more foreclosures and possibly even boosting consumer spending.

[AsburyPark] Re: Why Doggett and not Conover
Hi Tommy - That's because the Conover case was moved to Somerset County for investigation, to avoid a conflict with Monmouth which would've been both his employer and his accuser. When the grand jury delivered the indictment, the case had to be moved under the Attorney General's office, because Conover's alleged crime wasn't committed in Somerset. Since the AG's office doesn't distribute press releases like the county prosecutors do, none was distributed on Conover. I got the information because, after reading the Monmouth County release about Doggett, I actually called the Mon. Cty prosecutor's office and asked for a status on Conover's charges. As a result, I was faxed information from Matt Murphy of the Somerset County Prosecutor's office, who was for this purpose made a deputy attorney general. I did see that Bob Jordan of APP did post a story on Conover yesterday. I'd have to go back to see if that one mentioned Doggett though. I should've added to my story that Conover is represented by Alton Kenney. Kenney's in Jordan's report, saying that his county car was "inoperable," so Conover borrowed a private vehicle. And it was gas for official use that he pumped into the privately owned car. What bothers me is that whether Conover is convicted or not, no one has looked into his handling of Asbury Park's emergency management. On the County Emergency Coordinator's web site the office bragged that it has a 100% record -- all municipalities in Monmouth County had current emergency plans filed with the office. When I looked at our plan, which required an afternoon of sitting outside City Manager Terry Reidy's office to gain access to the plan, all I found was a stack of loosely piled pages with information on some of them dating back decades, with the names of companies to call some of whom went out of business years ago. Dead people to call. Someone has to look into this. How many shore communities are in a similar situation? I know the AP fire chief is working on getting the report together, but last I asked -- a year later -- it still wasn't ready.

[AsburyPark] Re:Asbury Glory Days
Are you aware that the pool area you're referring to is required by law, by our own ordinance, to be a public swim club? There are certain realities involved in providing for the needs of all age groups - as in 'the public' - which have to be met. My remarks were not based on any aversion to luxury. I'd love to lounge around a nice spot like that. But the public pool, public club, is a hoop the developers must jump through in order to gain the right to build the private, one would hope lucrative, swim club up the boardwalk to the north. At the planning board meeting the principals mis-spoke several times, calling the plan a "private" club. The design can be easily seen as a private looking club, inadequate for serving a large public, especially since it is for the purpose of satisfying this obstacle and getting on with the private club that they hope will seal the deal for the sale of the remaining condos -- adjacent to the site of the future private beach club. This makes sense if you think of it from the perspective of Asbury Partners' interests in this retail LLC, which it has established with Madison Marquette. The Partners can't get their percentage (I've heard 5% down from 7%) of the sales of the condos or the per unit pay back on their infrastructure outlay - about $20k a unit -- which are guaranteed through their contracts with the developers, until those condos close. Also, the Partners retain the retail interests in the condo developments. I don't know what deal they made with MM for a portion of the retail business on the boardwalk. But this is also an incentive for the Partners to encourage MM's plans for the pavilions. So there's considerably more pressure to move ahead with the pavilions than meets the eye. It's not just the coming beach season. Maureen Maureen Nevin Asbury Radio -"The Radio Voice of Asbury Park" -Silenced by the FCC, but why?? 88.1FM - "6" Years on the Air!!

[AsburyPark] Re: The plan needs
I forgot to mention the Wonder Bar and my glee to see that it's coming back in my 2 cents posted on Asbury Radio. Like to get your feedback. This is basically what I posted: Motolla's Plans Stir Hope & Questions The president and financial head of Madison Marquette Investments, Gary Motolla, must have mined every big name in the area over the past few months to put together his star-studded cast for the boardwalk's revival. We don't see any clunkers among the names we recognized, but are saddened not to see Eddie Gaspar's restaurant in the First Avenue Pavilion (formerly The Tides) missing from the press release and news report. Maybe we missed it. We'd like to see more transparency in these announcements and plans. The announcement yesterday was termed a “press conference”, but we didn't get the feeling there were a lot of press questions answered, from the report by Nancy Shields in the APP, and we don't see anything in the Star-Ledger today. Channel 12 had a report last night, which seemed pretty much a replay of the press release with some local shots of the boardwalk. What's nagging at us -- We agree wholeheartedly with Mottola that the city can't come back without a concerted effort to stimulate all its facets, including things seemingly as diverse as the downtown business district and our educational system. Mottola's willingness to take on the residential developments, since Charles -- tear down that old historic carousel house, it's in my way -- Kushner decided to dump Wesley Lake and run is wise, too. How can you say come and have a great time when those empty windows are gaping at tourists like so many open mouths? But what about the impossible deal Asbury Partners left hanging in the air, which amounts to tentacles that remain in the project long after the property deed is signed over? We're talking about, in addition to the per unit development rights of about $100k per, the 7% piece on the sale of every unit, and $20,000 per unit for the infrastructure improvement reimbursement, and the Partners’ retention of all commercial rights on the sites. This is the piece of the story that never gets discussed. When we’ve brought it up, we’re quickly hushed up. This is why the developers have been trying to achieve mission impossible - build quality units with skilled labor with the best materials, and sell at market rates, while giving the Partners their share -- and ride out a Recession, and a credit and real estate Crash. No wonder it caved in. In the Press, Hugh Lamle, of MD Sass, a partner in Asbury Partners, hinted at needing to help Dean Geibel of Metro Homes, whose building the Esperanza is now suspended in animation, a cold reminder on the same piece of land as the famous symbol of the last fiasco. "He got caught in this national financing debacle," Lamle's quoted saying. Was it the “national debacle” or a far more local one? Perhaps the Partners' Mission Impossible Deal? He can’t do much about the national economy but is Lamle willing to change this impossible agreement? Loosen the handcuffs? Mottola is quoted saying he needs to negotiate a subsequent redeveloper agreement with the city for the boardwalk plans and an agreement on the Kushner properties. Is this when the tentacles of the existing contracts with Asbury Partners will bare their slimy barbs? Isn't the city itself, mum at yesterday’ s press conference, also negotiating yet another agreement with the Partners -- the global settlement agreement? Was Kushner's decision to pull out prompted at all by his unwillingness to fork over 7% of the sale of the Wesley Grove units to Asbury Partners? Twenty-two have been sold; we'd like to know if 7% of those sale prices went to the Partners. It's time the residents and officials of Asbury Park knew the details of these deals. And, by the way, where is Cherokee Investments? Last time we looked they were 50% of Asbury Partners. Don't they have a say in this? Our former redevelopment attorney Jimmy Aaron said Cherokee put $30 million into the Partners’ pot. Did they sell their share? If so, who bought it? We have a right to be in the loop, because it is our taxes, our businesses and our homes on the line. If we're entering a new phase with Madison Marquette let’s be sure we're on equal footing. We can't be if only some parties know the details. Otherwise the plans sound wonderful.

[AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park cop loses gun
Hi Everybody - I put together some notes on last night's Council Meeting and Pete posted them up on AsburyRadio.com last night. Thanks, Pete!! I should've added that Werner Baumgartner had a very sober take on what worked out to be a passionate argument on whether the police were making enough effort to communicate with Spanish speaking residents. Werner noted that last night's visitors to the chamber were there because of a terrible tragedy, the murder of an Hispanic man. But proposed the answer is not to add foreign language speakers in reaction to, say, a Russian, Haitian, German, or other victim. "All ethnic groups are important," he said. "And there's a common language they can share" to ensure unity. So Werner was subtly encouraging all to share the English language without making that tired, xenophobic sounding battle cry of "English-Only". Kudos to Werner!!

Werner is very upset about Shields' use of the quote from Werner about having not been thinking clearly because he'd taken a painkiller. She didn't say that he'd taken it because he was recovering from a motorcycle accident. That's really irresponsible. I just can't picture her doing the same to John Loffredo. Got to get back to work.

Thirdly, Werner called to ask that I post something to thank all of those who have come forward to express their outrage at this sentence and general sympathy for his situation. He is very heartened by the outpourings of support and offers to help him finish the renovations. He was moved to a dorm setting today with about 60-70 beds in a huge room with a common area in the middle. And he's got his own PIN number so that he doesn't have to borrow a fellow inmate's PIN to make his collect calls. And, he is being represented now. Tommy DeSeno has taken his case.

[AsburyPark] Re: Werner Confined 22 hrs/day
Just got another call from Werner. He was taken out of the holding area yesterday (Sat.) at 11 AM and placed into Pod A-1 in the Monmouth County Correctional Institute, Freehold, where he is confined 22 hours a day in a 2-man cell with three people in it. He gets two hours out of the cell, one at a time, but the hours are chosen randomly. One cell-mate must sleep on the concrete floor. Werner alernates between the floor and sleeping with a toilet in his face. Werner slept on a concrete floor in the holding area, prior to being processed, which included an injection for tuberculosis. There was no choice - the nurse said, "you have to take it," says Werner. She was reluctant to tell him what it was for. The move to the Pod means Werner has to wait, possibly a week, for his own PIN number to make the only calls he's allowed to make - collect. For now he must borrow another inmate's PIN to call out. And the calls cannot be made to cell phones. Werner says he obtained the refinancing necessary to comply with the repairs the city wants him to make on his house. He showed this documentation to municipal court Judge Apostolou along with the contract with 3C&G, a Middletown contractor, for the first phase of the repairs. He planned to select other contractors for subsequent work as things progressed. Ironically, the first payment on the refi was due yesterday. If he can't get payments made during his 45-day incarceration he may go into default on the loan. Why is Judge Apostolou being so severe? Residents of A.P. know a few property owners that have owed far more in code violation fines. A lawyer who works regularly in Asbury Park municipal court tells me he's frequently frustrated at how Apostolou "lets junkies out of jail all the time. And, this is over a porch!" But, this same lawyer says that the court saw that Werner had yet to start the work, which it saw as "inexcusable". Werner explains that it took a long time to secure financing because he has no income other than his rents and a $35,000 lien, he knew nothing about, surfaced in the process. The court wanted him to pay the lien and contest it later. But Werner didn't have the money to pay it and held that it was illegitimate Was Werner singled out last Friday? Hardly, a source close to the court says the judge sent lots and lots of people to jail Friday. Was he having a bad day? If the jail is overcrowded it may work to Werner's advantage. When he does get out, Werner better check out that 911 call that started all of this. Certainly his reputation was damaged by the false accusation that a body was in his basement. There should've been an official apology, since the department should've listened to the tape -- and when it did listen after the home was inspected, it should've taken a very public step in undoing the damage to Werner's privacy and reputation. What excuse can there be for not doing that? For now Werner must beg for a pencil, since inmates aren't allowed to have money on them; yet they must buy everything, including something as minor as a pencil. Nagging questions remain. The judge only had before him the fines and the prolonged timeframe with which to pass judgment. However the officials who have made a cottage industry out of pursuing Werner - one property owner in a city of blighted properties - know if their motives are objective -- or not. Is the law being applied equally here? Everyone in this city - regardless of how they feel about Werner Baumgartner, must ask their officials: was the incarceration of Werner Baumgartner an equal carriage of justice? Or an attempt to silence any public critiques of the city and its developers?

"AsburyCouple" I understand what you're saying about Werner's confrontational posture. But Frank is right. If the judge had no alternative, why not opt for the an ankle bracelet. The correctional facility they sent Werner to actually monitors the bracelets. So why not simply use that to send him a message? In light of this it certainly looks like intimidation to me.

Re.

Doesn't seem to me like James is a big property mogul type. So might wonder where that slick strategy came from. I've been asking the Ledger to come to Asbury to look at this waterfront deal for years with no luck.

[AsburyPark] Re: The Fireworks Are Hanging over Little Eden Tonight
Absolutely, the "negotiations" on the "agreement" have to be in the open. The deal between the partners and the city was passed into law. How the city can exempt talks about amending that law under the contract negotiation clause, which they've done before, is beyond me. If someone would take that case on, I think they'd win. This is the job of the established press. They have the attorneys on retainer. But they'd rather go on about the success of the OPRA laws. OPRA is great. But how can they ignore the obvious, which is that once these private meetings result in public records, most of the damage is already done. Yes, then we can examine the details of the disaster later. Hmmm. Dan, I want to know more about these different tax ratios. That was your thread, right?

[AsburyPark] Re: Madison Marquette Answers to Your Questions
I'm amazed by the Press' reaction to this MM deal with Asbury Partners. The editorial board interview was a cream puff job. No financials -- again!! The only way to be confident of the partnership is to know what they're in for - a dime or a dollar. What's the commitment? Is there an out clause? Do we get to see this contract - ever? And, why should it cost AP anything? Can you say Breach of Contract? Does anyone recall the Dispute Resolution Agreement? Isn't this allowing the Partners to dodge another commitment and more deadlines? Tell me where it's not so. Another round of negotiating is necessary, says Bruno. Another round of private - out of the public eye talk among the principals - who don't include you or me. This basically allows the City to acquiesce instead of pressing its rightful legal position with the Partners. Now the City will be one more entity removed from enforcing its rights. Gees, only a lawyer like Faiella could feel comfortable plunging into a tangled web like this one. Oh, that's right, Faiella is the Partners' lawyer. What did the editorial board story say, Lamle is a 50% partner? Lamle? We know that Cherokee is a 50% partner. So who's out of the game? Or is the Press just playing loose with the facts again? As in oh they declined to discuss the financial end of this reportedly $150 million investment. The financials are the story!!! How does the City enforce its interests in this deal if it's between the Partners and MM? Sure I'm glad somebody got out there and cleaned up and prettied up the 5th Av pavilion and opened businesses there. What's not to like? But this city isn't a little girl to be told, "Don't look a gift horse in the face." This is just the time when we should be looking that horse straight in the eye. As we used to say, we've been down so long anything looks like up. But this is just the time to be most wary. Just tell me why the city is giving anything up now. We've got a signed deal - two signed deals. Why should we make a third? Isn't it allowing the Partners to square the deal with MM? If so, the City is giving the Partners the equivalent of millions to give to MM in order to buy the Partners’ way out of their hole with the City. Well?

[AsburyPark] Re:Surf's Up, but the Water is Brown
Think it's important to note that this excerpt from the Times is the LA Times and it's about a Calif. beach -- not A.P. I got your point, Mario, but someone else may not catch it on a fast read. >From what I heard tonight it sounded like the sewage got a chlorine bath and boot out to the ocean - 1700 feet out. DEP says the ocean shoreline water's fine. So the word is that there never was a pollution cause to close the beaches, just a precaution. Now, ques.: how long does it take for fecal matter to make its way back from a point 1700 feet offshore? I'm wondering, which process didn't the 'matter' undergo? Item: Asbury has a secondary treatment plant, which means the stuff is treated with primary and secondary processes. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I took environmental science in college, terciary care was considered the way to go, mainly because everyone thought it was time to stop dumping sewage in the ocean. So with the millions that we've bonded on that same plant, lots of times for improvements to the plant, why don't we have the most current technology in there? Maybe the science failed for the terciary stage somewhere down the line after the textbooks were written. Anyone know?

On Asbury Radio's concerns of the past year and longer about the lack of an emergency response plan for Asbury Park, may we call your attention to the realities discussed in today's editorial in the APP. Whether you agree with the proposed fund or not, you may want to ask Asbury's leaders to show a little more initiative in getting the plan finished. "Hurricane modelers predict that a Category 3 hurricane that makes landfall in Asbury Park would put Newark Liberty International Airport under water. The devastation caused by such a storm would not only wipe vacation homes off the shoreline, but destroy block after block of the homes of low- and moderate-income families who happen to live long distances from our coastline. The destruction of Tropical Storm Floyd, which affected towns throughout the state, would pale by comparison."

Dan - Thanks for posting the Faiella articles from the Ledger. I put something up on AsburyRadio.com this morning, but I'm still learning how to manage that website. Not to blow my horn or anything, but I tried to read the council information about Faiella before they ever voted the redevelopment agreement into law, which, thanks to Shangazi, I still have on tape. James Aaron, our attorney for redevelopment, was quick to respond to me that my comments about Faiella were irrelevant to the item under discussion - The Waterfront Redevelopment Agreement with Faiella's clients, Asbury Partners. So the council did have a chance to put the breaks on, between Weldon's admission (he was gone before that night) and the Star-Ledger stories I held in my hand, referring to his being let go by Sharpe James from his job as deputy mayor, and thrown off his Newark Economic Development Corp by his own board of directors.

[AsburyPark] 110th
On the 110th... Well, I guess you could say the city had a birthday and shared its cake with everyone!! That's nice. And the Historical Society's remaining members dressed up really cute. I noticed Ruthanne, Doug, Johna, and Robert T.'s costumes - all very nice and festive. Trouble was that there wasn't anything else dressed up. Of course the rag time band was in their red suspenders and made a really nice addition to the affair. Maybe they should've had dancing. Maybe they did after the cake was handed out. We left after our cake. (A few people saw an unavoidable parallel to Marie Antoinette's fateful remark. Would that Imus would lose his, oh well, we're much too civilized now I guess.) On the other hand, the tables lining the entrance to CH were staffed by sales people for Metro Homes. You fill out the contact info and get a nice black bag that says 110th and Esperanza on it. So you have a momento and they have a potential buyer for the Esperanza. After all, we're told Esperanza underwrote the anniversary - right? Although, the UEZ gave money toward it as well, didn't it? Does anyone see the entire 4th ave pavilion as a giant ad? Granted it's more attractive than the decrepit, neglected pavilion beneath. The carousel cake was a bit of a misnomer, since the carousel itself - the roof of which was a dead ringer for Asbury's own remaining... - sat on a box, not a cake. The cake was actually a whole bunch of sheet cakes on long tables, which in total held the 110 candles that were lit by dignitaries, each to his/her own candle. I didn't see the man from the Food Network. Were we supposed to meet him in person? The chocolate was delicious! After the cake everyone was to move on into the Paramount for the movie about the history of Asbury Park, which was produced by a woman from Conn. for NJN and neglected to include the only official historian of Asbury Park. That historian loomed ghostlike on the perimeter above the bleachers, video cam in hand, recording even this manufactured event. I'm glad that NJN's "Greetings..." included many interviews with figures from the West Side. That was a good thing. But hasn't everyone already seen this 30 min. film?

Whatever happened to Asbury Radio? Well I thought you'd never ask, Allen. The weekly show was like doing a feature article a week and so took considerable time from my revenue producing work. For most of the past 6.5 years my freelance work suffered and so did my bank account. Just prior to the first FCC visit to WYGG, I took an office job. My boss allows me to work four weekdays and Saturday, affording me one weekday to do my freelancing. It's working out quite well. The same cannot be said for the show, which hasn't aired since Nov. 16th. This letter, below, that I sent to Sen. Menendez on March 20th, will explain the current status. I recently got a response from Cong. Frank Pallone to a similar fax I sent him, on Feb. 12th. He said his office had asked the FCC's enforcement bureau to look into it. If I don't hear anything by April 8th, I should give him another call. This isn't satisfactory since the station's temporary permit expires April 7th. Pallone had no response to that information. I know you've been critical of my show in the past, Allen, but I would hope that you and other critics could still appreciate the importance of this threat to free speech - and no, I still don't know who is behind this. March 20, 2007 Re. FCC Intervention in WYGG 88.1FM Dear Senator Menendez: I have had a radio show, Asbury Radio (previously Restore by the Shore and Restore Radio), on WYGG 88.1 FM, which would've been on the air 7 years this June. The station is a low-band, minority owned arrangement that broadcasts largely in Haitian Creole. (Abner Luima bought and held the license until recently.) In mid-November Steven Desena, a field engineer with the FCC based on Varick St., in NY, claimed to be driving by our studios at 601 Bangs Ave., in Asbury Park. Mr. Desena gained entrance to the building and examined the antenna without WYGG present. DeSena phoned the station manager, Jean Guy Henry, and pretended to be a cable installer who needed the transmitter turned down to work on the roof. He then summoned Henry to the roof and brow beat Henry to try to get him to turn off the transmitter. Eventually, according to Henry, Desena turned off the transmission himself, which I’m told is a violation of FCC rules. The station remained off the air from just before Thanksgiving until February of 2007. Desena told Henry he’d have to move the station, which he did during January. The station was relocated to a house owned by and adjacent to the French Haitian church at 414 Asbury Ave. The FCC granted a temporary permit to allow the station back up on the air, but that permission expires in early April. The management gradually reintroduced programming to the station, with the exception of my show. Henry told me in March that he’s afraid that my show is the real target of the FCC’s attentions. (Desena visited again at the new location on Jan. 28th.) This makes three or four visits to a 100-watt station in roughly two months. Despite this, there is no record on the FCC's web pages for listing Notices of Apparent Violation. On a recent visit, Desena reportedly asked specifically about my talk show and, granted this is second hand, told Henry that it may be the public’s right to talk about this stuff but they (?) don’t like it. Desena told Henry that all guests have to sign in, have to be listed prior to show time as well, with their topics and how long they intend to be on. Is this really Federal FCC Regulation? I can clearly see where such rules would have a possibly chilling effect on free speech. My second question is: Can you find out who or what formed the initial catalyst for Desena’s visit in November? By the way, it may mean nothing, but my last show to air over WYGG was about the awakening potential of voters from Asbury Park’s West Side. Naturally, this protracted situation has only given fuel to speculation. Other subjects covered on my show have been random violence against Latino workers, Eminent Domain, Abolition of the Death Penalty, environmental and tenants' rights, etc. Again, if you could confirm these FCC requirements; and if you could find out the reason for the FCC’s spontaneous visit and termination of the signal, I would be most grateful. Best regards, Maureen Nevin, Host - Asbury Radio March 20, 2007
[AsburyPark] Re: Another Done Deal
Easy Werner. I tried to make the same point this morning and got screamed at about how this town has stood still for 20 years and at least it's better than nothing, and yada yada. Doesn't anyone understand that we're saying if the BC could get fair value, why shouldn't everyone else? The difference? The BC was free to sell on the open market. Everyone else has to sell to Asbury Partners. The sellers are a captive market. Message to others who don't get it: See Principles of Free Market 101 I'm glad Ahn got a good price - it's good for Asbury, too. Likewise, when sellers get shafted it's not good for Asbury Park.

[AsburyPark] Re:Restaurant plans move ahead
So the story of the day is restaurant plans for HoJo moving ahead. After I got through fuming at the fact that most of the maneuvers of late, before the council as well, have been to force down the throats of the planning board a plan to rehab the lower level of the 5th Ave pavilion in slap-dab scenario, I realized the bigger issue. At the last planning board meeting I said that I thought the push for the quick and dirty rehab was an effort on Asbury Partners to woo MM into signing their contract. But it seems now that MM, having given up on the Partners fullfilling their contractual obligations to the City, has joined their chorus in asking the planning board for the same makeshift-style rehab. Once again, time is of the essence. Hurry, hurry, no time to deliberate or get us to go with what we've agreed to do in the past - what we're contracted, o bligated to do. Just give us this break now and we'll love you for it later. We'll make you happy wait and see. Where have I heard that one? Back to the article. The Big Issue is that there isn't any restaurant deal sealed yet. Thank you Nancy for making that clear. It's March in two days. Not only is it impossible to do any decent rehab by Memorial Day - well if you were really committed and didn't mind double spending to make it happen... Sure, Fishman has spared no expense so far... But what legitimate restauranteur is going to commit now to breaking their necks to install and have staffed and operational a new restaurant, built to someone else's directions and specifications, by Memorial Day? How can they commit to open in a space they haven't even seen? I'm not talking about a shell - a workable environment that they don't have to adapt at all! Would anyone on this board take such a chance? So I can only assume that this is not about opening a restaurant. It's about letting Asbury Partners do that slipshod job they've always intended to do. This is about keeping Asbury Partners from missing their deadline and being held to their obligation to open a restaurant there by Memorial Day or be in default. It's always a big hurry - the budget won't balance unless we sell them this now... Remember that one? How about, "Hurry, no you can't ask any more questions the planner has to fly back to Florida now." Well, you know what? We can take our time and find our own restauranteur and designer/builder and produce a very nice restaurant ourselves with the space we take back from the Partners for default and the fine they have to pay us. Planning Board - stick to your guns. Matt Berman - you were so right, don't buckle now. Terry Reidy, you said it like it is. The plan didn't make sense. Don't rush folks, cause it won't be done to satisfaction anyway. We've waited this long for results. We'll wait to get it done right.

So the city has been sending two members of the council to all these meetings, after which the subcommittee reports to the council what it has observed -- and yet the city still doesn't know the terms of the deal... And neither does the public. Guess we'll just have to wait to see how much information Asbury Partners and Madison Marquette decide to give Nancy Shields. I just can't wait for my first installment. Can anyone read the Sunshine Law? And, in response to city attorney Fred Raffetto, this would not be the first time a panel of judges has found the city guilty of violating the spirit of the Sunshine Law.

Hinge - I'm not sure what I'd need to do the show over the net with call-ins, multiple mics for guests, etc. If you could give me some guideance, I'd appreciate it. Certainly for shows like the ones I did with authors calling in from various parts of the country to discuss their books, it would work just fine. But on most of those I had a studio full of people to ask questions of the authors, which made it more interesting. Still I can see where I could make one on one interviews work for now. But, Mike has said the net really isn't as popular for listening to talk radio yet. So I guess I'll have to weigh the set up costs against the rest - when I get them nailed down.

[AsburyPark] Re:What will happen to Asbury Radio & WYGG?
Thanks for asking about Asbury Radio. Rather than repeat the whole litany, suffice to say an FCC rep claimed to be "just driving by" 601 Bangs and noticed the antenna on the roof - how many feet up is that anyway? (we were on the 7th floor) didn't look right. So he went up there. He returned to the building, under the guise of being a cable guy (more strangeness) and pulled the plug on WYGG. It's important to note that WYGG had been situated at 601 Bangs for more than 6 yrs. So the FCC guy tells WYGG it has to move, because the building is too high for the antenna height afforded by its license as a 100 watt station. The station had been operating powered down to 50 watts, to compensate for the extra height, which I understood to be a compliance measure by the station. Now in it new location on Asbury Ave, the station's antenna is said to be too low. (There's probably a fairy tale or fable to fit this scenario, but none comes to mind at the moment.) So they issue the temporary permit to WYGG to allow it to resume. BUT the station must now obtain approvals from the city to raise the antenna, which Andre Willis says requires zoning board approval. For those who don't know or don't remember, Mr. Willis is the same city official who swore out a warrant for my arrest for photographing - instead of purchasing photocopies - of the blue prints for the Paramount Homes' development, North Beach. Mr. Willis later withdrew his objections and wrote an apology, which I hope means that WYGG will be treated without prejudice in this matter. There is a deadline of April - I believe 7 - by which the antenna must be at the height req'd by the FCC. Will the petition to be heard by the board be delayed? Remains to be seen. Will the board allow the antenna? Don't know. As for whether the council played a part in our being thrown off the air for two months, I don't believe they'd have had to pull to do so - even if they were so inclined, which I really doubt. Mike Hemeon tells me such a request would have to be made through someone with pull on a federal level. This isn't impossible either. Since Asbury Radio examined numerous issues - local, national and international in scope - it's hard to say which of our critics could've 'dropped the dime', as they say. Maybe it was a proponent of the death penalty who didn't like our having a convicted killer talk about what it was like to spend 18 years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Maybe it was a local, county or state official who has influence at those levels, who didn't like our asking direct questions about how they do or don't do their job. These days when you're examining issues with no restrictions or monetary considerations, you invite the devil. Then again, maybe it was all just a big coincidence. Meanwhile, we're evaluating restarting Asbury Radio if it will only be for a few more weeks. Maureen Maureen Nevin Asbury Radio -"The Radio Voice of Asbury Park" 88.1FM - "6" Years on the Air!!

[AsburyPark] Re: Madison Marquette
Perhaps if the council wasn't handling these 'contract negotiations' between Marquette and the Partners in private sessions through its 'subcommittee' - supposedly to avoid violating the Sunshine Law - we wouldn't have to speculate about the status of the Partners' negotiations with Marquette. Why isn't anyone else asking why the secrecy? The reason our lawmakers made contract negotiations an exemption from the open meetings law was so that the governing body could deliberate its strategy in private - so that the other party to the deal wouldn't know the strategy. Can someone apply that reason to this situation, because it evades me. How does the city benefit by meeting with the very parties involved in the contract and leaving ONLY the public out? Then, of course, the subcommittee reports back to the full governing council - again in executive or private session. It's another clear violation of the act. Nancy, having covered nowhere else but Asbury Park, is apparently at a loss for a reference point. She must think this is how legitimate government is conducted. Not.

I asked, essentially, if the role of elected officials should be to screen their comments for publicity reasons. The guests each said that they didn't want their public officials acting as PR people. The sound is up on www.asburyradio.com right now.

[AsburyPark] Re: history buffs
Oak - Think you're mixing apples and oranges. Oral histories - which I guess would be called blogs? - are quaint and can contain reliable information. Historians though, while certainly not infallible, are expected to follow professional guidelines. I don't think we want to make the mistake of not drawing a distinction between the two. Otherwise we'll just have the ministry of disinformation. As for Fred, why aren't you grateful that someone cares enough to try to maintain a consistent record of this city's proceedings? Is it the - don't confuse me with the facts - syndrome?

[AsburyPark] Re: Madison
A little more on The Partners' new PR firm, which also represents Cherokee Investment Partners and K. Hovnanian. From the web site - www.winningstrat.net, which is headed by Jim McQueeny, a veteran on-camera and print journalist. The firm obviously has influence on Capitol Hill. BTW, Aaron told us two years ago that Cherokee had made a $30 Mn investment in the Partners. I still hold that the citizens of Asbury Park have a right to know who the partners are and the share each has invested in our city. Before launching Winning Strategies, McQueeny served as chief of staff and spokesman for U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, as well as a White House Bureau Chief and reporter for the Star-Ledger in Newark and an on-air correspondent for a New York City television station. In addition, McQueeny has written articles that have been published by outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and Newsday, among other publications. He is a columnist for New Jersey Municipalities magazine and a member of the Board of Contributors for NJBIZ. McQueeny is also the host of Power and Politics, a weekly political show on News 12 New Jersey. WSPR is a member of the Winning Strategies Circle of Companies (Winning Strategies). WSPR offers a range of expertise such as strategic issues counsel, media relations, Internet technology services, corporate positioning, crisis management, media training, issues management and public affairs for an array of national and New Jersey-based clients, including Cherokee Investment Partners, ProtectingAmerica.org, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, K. Hovnanian Companies and Verizon New Jersey. The Winning Strategies Circle of Companies provides public relations, marketing, interactive and government affairs services from offices in Newark, Trenton and Washington, D.C.

[AsburyPark] Re: Asburycouple....
Speaking of binding contracts; I was feeling pretty good about those 106 units at North Beach having been through attorney review until I remembered that attorney review just means lawyers have approved the contracts -- it doesn't mean the deals have closed. And until they've closed, it's like the fat lady hasn't sung yet, you know. I would like to see the construction moving a little faster and hear that the master deed, which will allow the condos to start closing, has been filed.

[AsburyPark] Re: Anybody know what happened at Council meeting?
Actually, I don't think it was BS. There seems to be something going on. It's obvious the council wants to stall on it. Think we need to praise the council when they do something we like. If there are motives we don't know about, should we let that hold us back. Sometimes positive reinforcement is the only tool we have. Big question now though is who bought the Berkeley Carteret???

[AsburyPark] Re: Ocean Mile - The Deal Reading at Paramount Last Night
Allen - The Black Box gave my script to Ari and Larry to assure them they had nothing to worry about in allowing the group to produce my reading in Asbury Partners' Paramount Theater. It apparently worked, since the Partners pulled in their claws and let the show go on. (In fact, the theater's staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.) However, the Friday before the reading Deputy Mayor Jimmy Bruno and City Manager Terry Reidy told me they'd also obtained copies of the script and read it. Jimmy said he told Larry he shouldn't let me perform the reading in his building. Jimmy said Larry explained his views that it was a matter of artistic freedom and free speech. Jimmy didn't agree. Would we have had more people at the event? If Jimmy and Terry were curious enough about the screenplay to obtain their own copies, had they not obtained them they would've had to attend the reading to find out its contents. By their absence from the event and Jimmy's vehement disapproval I believe it's not a stretch that those who court the favor of city hall, employees included, would also want to avoid the event. That's my rationale. However, I was very pleased with the remarkably large turnout of people, including those from surrounding communities. Thanks for inquiring.

[AsburyPark] Re: Another of NJ's Finest
Lynch - 25 years gone by. 25 years ago, I had sources telling me how Lynch and his cohorts were operating the redevelopment of New Brunswick. One was a N.B. cop. One was an accused arsonist with 30 arrests on his record. I interviewed him in jail. One more reference to the wonderful job Lynch did in New Brunswick and I'll be ill. Any politico who comments about his successes and how these "proceedings" have marred an otherwise brilliant career should be investigated themselves. Back then, I wrote a story about the working poor in New Brunswick who were frozen out of their apartments, so that the code official - a political hack - could post the condemned sign on the door. Can't occupy a building with no heat or hot water. Tenants would pay their rents only to have the collector take off with the money. Then they'd be evicted for nonpayment.One family was burned out of the apartment they rented in a building owned by the police director's cousin. The magazine article was called "The Other 30-percent", after the quicky poll the city hired Eagleton Institute to do in reaction to my NYT's piece. The NYT's piece is up on the web under, 'Who is Asbury Radio?'. The magazine piece won a journalism award. (The Eagleton poll had showed that 70% thought redevelopment was good for New Brunswick.) A lot more needed to be written, but my jailhouse source clammed up after a contract was put out on him. I wasn't alone though, he also refused to testify in court, which earned him an extra 6 mos. on his sentence, which he served in Trenton. The Hungarian community that gave New Brunswick some of its rich history was largely forced out by the tax concessions Lynch made to his cronies. The minorities and low income people were forced out to Franklin. Urban Removal. 25 years later, Lynch finally tripped up a la Al Capone. He didn't pay his taxes. That allowed Christie's office to come in and do the job the state and local authorities wouldn't touch and tell the story the press for decades wouldn't report. Does that make anyone in New Jersey feel warm and fuzzy?

[AsburyPark] Re:Tonight on Asbury Radio
We have a last minute cancellation. The moviemakers for Dykeotomies won't be able to make it. In their place I'd like to have a discussion on the recent Star-Ledger article about Alfred Faiella, who Newark locals referred to as "The Shadow Mayor", which is available online. I have a link on AsburyRadio's home page. As attorney for Asbury Partners, Faiella has actually composed our ordinances and other official documents. His fax identifier has appeared on many of them - NEDC. Please call in -- 732-775-0821 or 775-6203 and voice your opinions. Then Maire Martello leads an important discussion on redevelopment on Lawrence Avenue in Ocean Grove. Her guests include Herb Herbst is the president and ceo of the Jersey Shore Arts Center on Main Avenue in Ocean Grove, Jamie Nieradka, who with his wife Ann bought their home in OG in 2004 after falling in love with it while visiting there during summer vacation. They are expecting their first child in June. He’s a vice president of electronic marketing at Alliance Bernstein in NYC. Dawn Popoff is a ten year resident of Ocean Grove and the wife of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Agent, Michael Popoff. Her family has been coming to Ocean Grove for five generations. She is currently a reference librarian at Monmouth U. Kevin Chambers is Maire's former neighbor when she lived on Atlantic Avenue in Ocean Grove and is a historian and former president of the Historical Society of Ocean Grove. And, Steve Palmer who lives on Webb Avenue in Ocean Grove and was one of the first people notified of the proposed condo project. Also invited were Neptune Mayor Tom Catley, who did not return the phone call, and Sean Braitling, the land acquisitions rep with Regal Homes, told Maire he was going to be out of town and didn’t think anyone else at Regal Homes would be available. Hope you can make it!!

Re: [AsburyPark] Master Plan
Werner - Thanks for alerting us. Can you elaborate a little more on the consequences and perhaps suggest what action we can take at this point? You say the master plan is misrepresented. What law covers this? Is there any recourse? Thanks for giving up your time to cover these meetings.

This is the most important document that provides vision and recommendations for redevelopment of the City.Two (2) people showed up to comment. TWO...That is just so sad, the public seems to to be completely uninterested in civic participation.Several items should be of concern:- It is being recommended that land use Zoning be changed to merge the P2 (Municipal) and P4 (School) Zones. There will be no distinction between City Property and Board of Education Property.- The Historic Preservation Element makes no mention of the destruction of the Palace. It does not address that the current ordinances are not enforced. Current historic districts are falsly described.- The document claims that the waterfront redevelopment will be bicycle friendly. In reality the narrowed streets and diagonal parking will make it more dangerous and leave no space for bike lanes. Many of the public comments, such as these, were just brushed aside as insignificant.Overall, the Master Plan was a great undertaking, but when it misrepresents the City, either by ommision or the distortion of facts I get very concerned.

Re: [AsburyPark] NYTimes' piece
This story cried out for a letter to the editor. People are calling up this story all over the world and not getting all the relevant facts. Ex: By saying the property owners interested in preservation want to save a deli, the story is not only inaccurate, it erodes the credibility of the preservationists. BTW, Laura Jewel's husband, Ken, whose "Blue Grass Jam" on 90.5 rocks, fell in love with The Baronet during an impromptu tour on Saturday. So Asbury Radio wrote the following: Dear Ms. Edgerley - (NYT Metro Editor) Reporting on Asbury Park is a nightmare on the best day, so your John Miller did a fine job. But I must point out three things in an otherwise excellent piece: 1 - John's reference to the elements that stopped construction on the Carabetta building, which we call C-8, failed to include the colossal bank failures of the period - the late 1980s. 2 - In his interview with Council member John Loffredo, who favors condos over preservation of the entertainment facilities here, John did not include the fact that Loffredo is a real estate agent, who represents properties in Asbury Park. 3 - John grouped the deli with the 1913 Baronet Theater that locals are trying to preserve. The owner of the deli property is not fighting condemnation. In fact, she's trying to sell her property to Metro Homes, developers of the hi rise that will replace C-8. (Whether she gets to sell her property in the open market, or has to surrender it to the redevelopment rights holder, Asbury Partners, who will in turn sell it to a "sub-developer" such as Metro, will reveal much about whether this city is trying to get the best for its citizens, or simply placating the Partners. Thank you for your attention to these points.

Re: [AsburyPark] Zaro's orders
Tom - I wasn't questioning Lehrer, so maybe your reply wasn't meant for me. But, I was asking about conflicts with having the same firm handle the distribution of properties in the city (and redevelopment zone) in which it is contracted to supply legal advice. You didn't tell me your opinion on that, did you? As for the order, the spokesman at the attorney general's office was going to fax or email that to me, prior to his hanging up on me for asking him to explain why it is or isn't a conflict. He made a veiled threat that he could be cooperative or not, depending on whether I pressed my question. Since I've yet to receive the order, I have to assume he made good on the threat. And these are the people charged with upholding the public's rights As for posing the question to the judge himself, it's fairly accepted practice that reporters don't call judges, and certainly not to question their decisions. Looks like we're going to be spreading this courtesy to all levels of government pretty soon.

Re: [AsburyPark] Chamber/Merchants Suggestion
Tommy - That wasn't the solution offered when I was on the board with Stu. We wanted a discount membership that would include Chamber and Merchants Guild membership and for the Chamber to act as an umbrella organization. The merchants need the chamber, because the name and institution have national and even international presence. Gilmour put Stu down for the suggestion, then proposed it himself after Stu was gone. Maybe you were thinking of Gilmour's flavor? I don't know whether he had some different wrinkles.
