[AsburyPark] Another Whitewash
Ironic - shortly after my prior post regarding the defacing of our classic buildings I see a report about the Asbury Lanes... Note the before and after photos... what a shame. http://asburyparksun.com/new-color-new-coat-of-paint-at-asbury-lanes/ http://asburyparksun.com/new-management-takes-over-at-asbury-lanes/ I have heard the ... 'cleaning it up'... explaination far to often over the years. Poorly informed management. A brick building is supposed to have visual interest... texture, patina,.. a natural appearance. Painting brick is a bad idea on many levels, aesthetics, maintainance issues, moisture retention.not at all preservation minded. :-( Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another city fighting landlords and rentals...
Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino has been dogged by allegations he's too soft on crime. Last Tuesday he sent out notice of a press conference announcing a new crime task force. The venue: the street in front of a rental property. There, Menino announced his new wave of crime fightingfocused on landlords. (kind of what belmar did in the past) It's a way to blame (or make liable) the landlords for the actions of the tenant's... FULL ARTICLE: http://goo.gl/Df5ZX Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another look at benefit cuts...
Lets take a couple examples from the real world. My dad always told me tough shit - this is the real world. that was the same thing he told his bio students that wanted to get into medical school, but didn't bother to study for a test. Tenant 1: Rent is $1350 per month. Her share of that is about $175 or 7.7% of the total rent. Two kids. Gets a 3 bedroom apt. Dad is being taking care of as well in M county Jail. both are white. Tenant 2. Temp assistance program. Runs 18 months+ will then switch over to Section 8 Program. Temp assistance pays 100% of rent of $1500. Now tenant pays about $100 of that. 3 bedroom apt. Tenant will never have a job. White. Tenant 3. 4 kids. 2 with 2 different dads. Works. Tenant pays 35% of her rent. A housing authority pays rest. Tenant 4. Pays 18% of the rent of $1350. Watched me mow lawn in 90 degree heat. Gave me a bottle of water (poland spring). Did manage to get up and pick up stuff from yard so I didn't just mow it over. I fill out FAFSA forms for college. it's just an exercise. Like I tell my kids: 1. I didn't join the service. 2. I'm alive. 3. I graduated hs and college. 4. I always worked. Always. 5. I saved or invested what I made every chance I got. 6. I have a retirement account. 7. I stayed married to your mother. 8. I never beat her. 9. I never went to jail. so in a few weeks, my son goes off to one of two schools. PACE in the lead. Luckily, I managed to drill SOMETHING into his head and he wound up with a $13k scholarship. A shame Room and Board in the city is $5600, Meal Plan is $1400, and tuition is $16,000 plus a few other fees. thats for the 1st semester. I couldn't drill enough into his head to make him a super genius to get a free ride. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another reason why paid parking won't achieve it's potential
Two shootings in Asbury Park, Neptune leave two men hospitalized Shots rang out twice within three hours Thursday night, in front of Asbury Park and Neptune homes less than a mile apart, sending two local men to the hospital, prosecutors said. The shootings were the latest in a string of gunfire incidents in and around the southwest section of Asbury Park in recent weeks. The first occurred around 8:47 p.m., when Shamere Reed, 18, of Summerfield Avenue in Asbury Park, was shot once in the back on the sidewalk in front of a residence in the 1400 block of Asbury Avenue, according to Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Marc LeMieux, director of the Major Crimes Bureau. Reed was taken to an area hospital, where he is listed in critical, but stable condition, LeMieux added. The second incident occurred around 11:32 p.m., when Kavon McMillon, 21, of Neptune, was shot multiple times in his mid-section in front of a residence in the 1200 block of Heck Avenue in Neptune, LeMieux explained. McMillon also was taken to an area hospital, where he is listed in critical condition, LeMieux said. Since Memorial Day, there have been eight other incidents involving gunfire in and around the same neighborhood. One man was killed by gunfire and shots were fired into or at cars or houses in four incidents including shots fired into a car just around the corner from Thursday's Neptune shooting, on Atkins Avenue. Anyone with information about Thursday's Asbury Park shooting is urged to call Asbury Park Detective Javier Campos at 732-774-1300 or Prosecutor's Office Detective Delisa Brazile at 800-533-7443. Anyone with information about Thursday's Neptune shooting is urged to call Neptune Detective Jeremiah Clarke at 732-988-8000 or Prosecutor's Office Detective Pamela Ricciardi at 800-533-7443. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another lost opportunity for AP
I took the meaning of blew it again as referring to the lost opportunity to install the NJ Hall of Fame in Asbury Park. The entire 'Pony Block' should have been designated for such a use instead of being zoned for condos. The Casino complex could have been a nice venue for such an enterprise also, although I still believe its strength is in being a multi-use entertainment/event/sports facility. Also keep in mind that the Fame of Asbury Park extends far beyond music into Religion, City Planning, Use of technological innovations, Sports, Amusements History, Sanitation and Health, Theater, Fire Safetyetc. An opportunity to become a world class museum/destination that works with the identity and heritage of the City instead of against it as the current condo/retail plan does. Yes the City Blew It. What's really sad is that few are willing to stand up and say so in spite of all the evidence. To quote from my document: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/files/WernerAPNJ/ PreservationPlan.pdf Preserving the Character and Sense of Place of Asbury Park ...1. The traditional commercial, entertainment and educational aspects of the waterfront should be the first priority: This is what Asbury Park is known for around the world and this will be our greatest economic asset in the long run if developed properly That was my recommendation as City Historian a bit more than 7 years ago based not on nostalgia but on the best practices regarding economic development.

[AsburyPark] Another POV: TCN - All Paper, No News
All Paper, No News 23 Dec 2008 From http://tinyurl.com/7b6rol People who are into journalism and newspapers and the web and the death of print have been all a-twitter over the NY Times story today about the triCityNews, a little alt-weekly in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I spent a good bit of time in Monmouth County years ago, when I was a consultant and had a client there, but unfortunately my tenure in the area predates the triCityNews' era of journalistic service to the community. So I was interested to see what was so notable about this little paper. The Times bemusedly profiles the little alt because, it claims, the triCity shuns the web. They quote Dan Jacobson, owner and publisher of the paper, at some length in the piece. I've concatenated all of Jacobson's quotes in the article together here. [...] In all of his quotes about the web and his business model and other newspapers and his big, beautiful full-page ads, Dan Jacobson never once mentions serving his community, researching a story, publishing information of any utility or value to his audience, or actually committing any act of journalism. That's not to say Jacobson doesn't value journalism. It's just that it's absolutely clear that his priority is his advertisers. Thus, I submit that the triCityNews, while certainly a paper, is likely not a newspaper. I would ask for clarification or rebuttal, or seek evidence to dispute this conclusion by looking in the paper itself, but that's not possible for those of us not physically located in its distribution area. I would invite Mr. Jacobson to respond in person here to this assertion, but I don't want him to compromise his apparent belief that the audience he serves doesn't not seek clarification of information through the web. I do, however, invite David Carr to explain his belief that this constitutes a ray of light in [his] e-mail [sic] inbox. I won't hold him accountable for the headline on the story; we all know to blame the editors for that. But even a lighthearted story should have at least its fundamental assertions somewhat resemble the truth. And, as a minor side note to Mr. Jacobson, whom I suspect may read the response on the web despite his contempt for our medium: The word plog is currently the subject of a trademark application by Amazon.com. They are an online concern that has apparently found a way to make money merchandising products online, even when they aren't making use of big, beautiful full-page ads. Just as someone will succeed in doing in Asbury Park, someday soon. **One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. Try it now.

[AsburyPark] Another POV: TCN Coverage Like the Dew
From Recovering Journalist: Jumping to the Wrong Conclusion (a professional POV) a Comment following it (Somewhat testy - lol): http://tinyurl.com/77zc3h New York Times media columnist David Carr, who is staking out a position as a staunch defender of the primacy of the traditional newspaper, has come up with a doozy: a small weekly community newspaper in New Jersey that claims to be thriving. In fact, Carr says, The TriCityNews of Monmouth County is prospering precisely because it aggressively ignores the Web. Well, not precisely. In fact, probably not much at all. The TriCityNews' owner and publisher, Dan Jacobson, is proud of his print-only stance, Carr reports. Why would I put anything on the Web? Carr quotes Jacobson as saying. I don't understand how putting content on the Web would do anything but help destroy our paper. Carr and Jacobson have jumped to the wrong conclusion about what makes the TriCityNews a success. Indeed, many small community papers, with and without Web sites, are doing just fine, and will continue to do so even as larger newspapers founder. That has nothing to do with print, or the Web. It has everything to do with the fact that these little papers cover their communities closely–and have little or no competition in doing so. Web or not, their readers have almost no place else to go. The well-publicized storm that's roiling the newspaper business isn't really affecting many of these smaller players. When we talk about newspapers in trouble these days, we're primarily talking about metro dailies, which are being pummeled on all sides by competition from national news sites, bloggers, craigslist, hyperlocal sites, Yelp, and others. There are generally myriad other ways to get most of what's in most dailies. Want international news? It's everywhere. National news? Ditto. Sports? Ditto, plus ESPN. Entertainment news? Same thing. The one franchise the big metros can still defend, usually, is local news– and even there, they're probably spread too thin. In fact, they're spread so thin that they're often undercut by small community papers like ... the TriCityNews, which covers news and arts in the area around Asbury Park like the dew, as the saying used to go. In fact, the TriCityNews has staked out an even narrower niche, as an alternative community weekly with an edge. (Its almost non-existent Web site shows a copy of the paper sitting atop a toilet.) So it's a little offbeat, and doubtless a nice alternative to Gannett's Asbury Park Press, its nearest daily competitor. And the Asbury Park Press is no slouch at local coverage itself. That unique local angle is what makes the TriCityNews a success, whether or not it has a Web site. (Ironically, because its alternative audience probably skews young, it may actually be limiting itself by not reaching that audience online.) Indeed, it's tiny (10,000 circulation), keeps its editorial costs low, offers affordable advertising and has annual revenue that's probably a rounding error for a paper like the Asbury Park Press. Comparing its situation to the problems of big dailies is really apples and oranges. Long after metro dailies wither away, small community and alternative papers like the TriCityNews are likely to continue in print (and on the Web), because they're providing unique, focused content to their narrowly defined audiences (and advertisers). If there was a way to get the same stuff from an online (or print) competitor, these papers would face a lot of the same structural pressures as their larger cousins. And they're still feeling the same pinch from a lousy advertising economy, nonetheless. But their success really doesn't have anything to do with whether they're distributed in pixels or dead trees. It's the nature of their content that makes the difference. So contrary to what Carr and Jacobson believe, the secret to the TriCityNews' success probably isn't that it fiercely eschews the Web. It's that it's fiercely local. Comments: Not so fast, gentleman. To call Tri-City a community paper is an error and doesn't do justice to community papers like the 2 River Times and The Hub which truly cover the community. Mr. Jacobsons version of community coverage is to borrow stories from these papers, slam the local daily paper and other weeklies, and launch personal attacks on it s reviewer when there is a negative article about one of his advertisers. He doesn't cover meetings, thereby relying on second hand accounts of what went on in the tri-city towns and tends to beat the same old dead horse topics which are the only ones that he is familiar with. He's never met an advertiser or developer he didn't want to shill for. Tri-City wishes it was the NY Press or Village Voice, in reality it is a freebee, that one finds stacked on top of the trash can in the local pizzeria (how fitting). It

[AsburyPark] Another NYC example of gentrification - Florent closes
Have any of you ever been to Florent, which until yesterday was a 24 hour a day oasis of great food, cool people and reasonable prices in the now hip and trendy Meat Packing District of NYC? It was one of my favorite places to eat in the entire world. It was forced to close because the area has become so upscale that the owners of the building upped the rent to a staggering $30,000 a month! Here's a link to the NY TImes article - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/nyregion/30florent.html?hp I know that this doesn't directly relate to AP, but today I heard that McCloons is offering a $22 burger, which is just plain highway robbery. It makes me wonder if people would just order something that outlandish just to show off. Meanwhile, you can get a great burger on the boardwalk at Jonnie-G's for $3. I bet in a blindfold taste test it would be hard to tell the difference. To me, the $22 burger on our boardwalk is a sign of things to come. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, while the redevelopment will make the boardwalk look great, it's would be a terrible shame if our boardwalk becomes too pricey for the people that live in the city, believe in the city and aren't gazillionaires.

Others are sped along in the name of progress, safety or simple neglect. The problem is they're nonrenewable resources. Preservation of historic buildings, bridges and other structures tends to favor the grand, the notable and the notorious. But small farm houses, barns, bridges, windmills and other ordinary items provide important insight Without them, we get a distorted, romanticized view of the past. Plain-Jane looking hay barns or toll roads or mining camps are easily overlooked in the shadow of more majestic artifacts It's only when you look around and see these things are disappearing, you think 'Oh, maybe we should hold on to these.' Not every ranch, outbuilding or bridge can or should be saved, historians say. Already, more than 80,000 properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places The listing, though, is only an honorific designation and doesn't provide specific protections. That tends to come at the local level, often through zoning But there are never any guarantees the place will survive. _Preservation efforts fall short, many historical sites disappear - USATODAY.com_ (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-06-28-historical-sites_N.htm) **Gas prices getting you down?

This is the second court reversal affecting property in the central downtown area of Belmar. Last July, another state appellate court ruled that the landmark Freedman's Bakery, which sits outside the mall and was to be razed, was not blighted.'' not only that, but the master developer left as well and Belmar, other then what was torn down, looks alive and well to me.

[AsburyPark] Another Twist on BAD Lighting.
Noticed tonight that the small signs along the Ocean Ave sidewalk of ConHall have been lit up. I mean LIT UP to the point of being a distraction and diminishing the natural beauty of the building. I had hoped that good sense would prevail and the simple incandescent lamps in the archways would be the defining feature on the front of ConHall. A beautiful series of arches and columns. It is not to be. Another example of TOO MUCH light for no legitimate purpose that erodes the intrinsic beauty of Asbury Park. Not to mention a National historic Site. Really sad that attention to such a simple detail can not be found in the acts of those charged with caring for our beachfront. Werner Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Another Twist on BAD Lighting.
I havn't posted on the board in a long time, weeks, if not longer. Nice job on pointing that out Werner. I noticed what you spoke of a few days ago. For anyone who's not sure what's being spoke of; the square wood framed display cases that read Paramount have been lit up. Lit up to the point where their brighter then a flood light! I think the bulbs have always been inside the boxes but were never turned on? Not sure.. I like the idea of lighting them up, however the lights currently being used are too bright. As bright as they are, they don't even light up what needs to be scene! It's a blinding light around the perimeter of the box. Charlie __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another draw AP has to steal from
Is what most here say they don't want: The New Outlet center that will slowy rise from the cornfields of exits 100/102 and Routes 33/66. Here's the best reason to get Asbury Ave cleaned up, so you can bring in shoppers from the center to the downtown/boardwalk. If it were me, I'd try my hardest to work with the developer to get the thing named asbuy outlet centers or something (missing the park, I know) Great opportunity to bring people in who have come to spend money. Also a bit west of that are new luxury apartments going up. The Standard Supply Center will go one of these as well. Lots of land there. Yahoo!

Bruce Almighty If rock is dead, nobody told the Boss. * By Hugo Lindgren http://nymag.com/nymag/author_87 Springsteen in the seventies. (Photo: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images) Amid the effusion of praise that greeted /Born to Run/ upon its release in 1975, Nik Cohn attempted, in this very magazine, to puncture the myth of Bruce Springsteen. Cohn wasn’t acting completely alone. The New York /Times/ had just published a 2,000-word diatribe against the man not yet known to the world as the Boss, accusing him of fakery, sentimentality, and assorted other crimes against rock. But Cohn was more damning. While admitting that he enjoyed the album for its pomp and “mock-tragic” vision, Cohn declared Springsteen “essentially irrelevant. The rock-and-roll dream that he so avidly celebrates is dead. Understandably, the people who have raised him to godhood find that hard to accept, for it means the death of their own youth. So they manage one last fling.” It’s fair to say that history has proved Cohn wrong. /Born to Run/ has stood up as the archetypal rock album of the seventies, just as /Born in the U.S.A./ may well be the archetypal rock album of the eighties. But Cohn wasn’t crazy or deluded to view Springsteen as an artist trading in spent tropes of youthful rebellion. What he misjudged was the ability of anything else to fully displace those ideas. Disco, punk, post-punk, hip-hop—they all failed to drive Bruce into total obsolescence. He is still here, in his leather jacket and Levi’s, manhandling his beat-up Fender and packing every arena he plays. Do all these people know rock is dead? They don’t give a shit. But now that Springsteen is pushing 60, you have to wonder, how much longer can he play the guitar-wielding rock hero? His release last year of a Pete Seeger tribute album, though hardly his first foray into folk, suggested an artist in transition, perhaps to a quieter, more contemplative phase. But the raucous, vaudevillian shows he played on the Seeger tour were anything but contemplative. Now he’s back with /Magic/, his fifteenth album, for which he’s regrouped with his arena-rocking pals, the E Street Band. On the first song, “Radio Nowhere,” the guitars kick right in, and he starts hollering about his need for “pounding drums” and “a world with some soul.” It’s nothing terribly exciting—the main riff has the /faux/ edge that you used to hear from alternative-rock bands making their major-label debuts—but Springsteen sounds genuinely engaged and pissed off. Unfortunately, he doesn’t quite keep it up. Though his voice is strong and sincere throughout the album, most of the material has a certain karaoke-like vibe. All but “Radio Nowhere” and the gentle, melancholic title track have what sound to my ears like obvious antecedents in his back catalogue: You’ll Be Comin’ Down = Lucky Town Livin’ in the Future = Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out Gypsy Biker = The River I’ll Work for Your Love = Thunder Road Last to Die = Roulette The rote familiarity of the material is compounded by the fact that the E Street Band tackles every song—and that’s the word, tackle, as in football—with, at best, dutiful competence. Their skills are suited to huge places. The rhythm section pounds away as if every room has the intimacy of Madison Square Garden. And all apologies to Clarence Clemons, but I’ve heard better saxophone playing on subway platforms. A license to tour, that’s what this album really is. Once upon a time, bands toured to support albums; now they release albums to support tours. And at this point, Springsteen’s appeal is only partly about music. His boomer fans revere him also as a role model—of how to grow old with integrity, how to get rich without going soft, how to not lose all your hair, how to not get fat, how to not turn into someone who would embarrass your younger self. It’s not eternal youth he symbolizes so much as a version of middle age that you wouldn’t be afraid to look at in the mirror. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another Done Deal
Asbury hotel bought for $16M Berkeley-Carteret to reopen shortly Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 02/28/07 BY NANCY SHIELDS COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU Post Comment ASBURY PARK New York real estate investors Joseph and Jacob Chetrit bought the Berkeley-Carteret Oceanfront Hotel on Tuesday, paying $16 million for the historic 248-room building on the city's waterfront, the broker who handled the sale said. Patricia Kobble said she represented both the buyers and sellers Daniel and Ike Ahn in the deal. She said the Chetrit brothers want to get the hotel closed since late last fall refurbished, restored and reopened as soon as possible, although she did not know if they could do it by Memorial Day. They've ordered everything I saw the wallpaper, the furniture they're ready, Kobble said. As fast as they can get it done, that's as fast as they will open. The brothers' company, the Chetrit Group, based in New York, has large real estate holdings around the country. Joseph Chetrit headed a joint venture of partners who bought the Sears Tower in Chicago for $840 million in 2004. Kobble said she saw Joseph Chetrit's interest in the Berkeley- Carteret, built in 1925, as a natural. He's in the hotel business and he likes beachfront hotels that's what his specialty is, she said. If true, that's a big boost for the waterfront redevelopment and the city, Deputy Mayor James Bruno said. I'm hoping they can work together with Madison Marquette and Asbury Partners to bring the north side of Convention Hall, the boardwalk area, back to life. It looks like everything's falling into place. The new owners are working on a plan to buy additional property to provide parking at the hotel, said Kobble, who handled the sale working for Prudential but said she has just switched to Portfolio, a small agency in Lakewood specializing in large commercial sales. Joseph and Jacob Chetrit could not be reached for comment. Nor could the sellers, Daniel Ahn and his son, Ike Ahn. Daniel Ahn, a Queens-based entrepreneur, bought the hotel in December 1998 for $5.1 million plus $181,000 owed in back taxes. Ahn and his family refurbished the Berkeley-Carteret and kept it open through the years that the city's waterfront plans were being created, approved and financed. Boardwalk will be busy With this sale going through, and a commitment from the new owners to get the hotel back on line for this summer, we're going to have work under way all along the beachfront, City Manager Terence Reidy said Tuesday. He said that Metro Homes plans to open a new sales office in the Fourth Avenue Pavilion to sell condos in the 224-unit Esperanza high rise. And Madison Marquette, the national retail developer is working to open a new restaurant in the vacant Howard Johnson's by Memorial Day. Reidy said the Berkeley-Carteret sale comes a week after Madison Marquette signed a deal with developers Asbury Partners to lead the development of the entertainment and retail sectors of the waterfront project. Madison Marquette has said their work over the next five years will be a $150 million to $200 million investment. This announcement today, coupled with Madison Marquette a week ago is huge, Reidy said. Absolutely huge. Once again, despite what people are saying about the real estate market, it shows confidence in the city of Asbury Park and the future of our city. Ahn had bought the hotel from the Maharishi Maheshi Yogi, whose organization bought it in 1994 from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for $1.85 million, of which $625,000 was for the hotel and the remainder for back taxes and liens. At that time, the property was assessed at $3 million. The maharishi planned to use the hotel as a Transcendental Meditation university and holistic health care center. The city did not allow those uses. The maharishi had to maintain the hotel's primary use as a hotel. The owners in the mid-1980s were a group led by local businessmen Henry and Sebastian Vaccaro, who restored the hotel but ended up in bankruptcy. C Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another Town Trying to Pass the Buck to Others
Habitat homes well-deserved Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 12/1/06 As someone who has worked building homes for Habitat for Humanity, I was appalled to read Howell Mayor Joseph DiBella's statements regarding affordable housing in Howell: We'll be saying, 'Oh, good news, Habitat for Humanity is going to build in your backyard.' And we'll hear, Why did you pick where I live?' (Howell won't ID land for housing, Nov. 13.) It is obvious DiBella has never seen one of the quality-built homes that Habitat constructs, homes that are a credit to their neighborhoods. But even more obvious from the tenor of his statements is that he wants no affordable housing in Howell at all, preferring to pay Lakewood and Keyport to assume Howell's obligation to build such badly needed homes. Contrary to what many people think, recipients of Habitat for Humanity homes do not have homes given to them. They must have a job, a good credit rating and the ability to pay a mortgage and taxes on their homes. They also have to put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity, helping to build their owns homes. These people work locally in our hospitals, schools and offices. They can't just afford to buy one of the McMansions that towns in Monmouth and Ocean counties seem so eager to add to their tax rolls. Perhaps DiBella and his fellow Planning Board members should educate themselves about how Habitat for Humanity operates before they denigrate them so publicly. Martin Glassman Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another shooting in Asbury.
I heard this happen with my own ears yesterday. ASBURY PARK A city resident was shot in the shoulder Sunday afternoon while he was standing outside a home in a residential neighborhood, police said. Jahmere Crooms, 18, was shot outside of 408 Comstock St., Sgt. Todd Wilson said. Crooms was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where his injuries are not believed to be life-threathening, Wilson said. Crooms gave police few details about the shooting, saying only that he was hanging out when he was shot, Wilson said. Connie Davis, who lives at the southeast corner of Comstock and Bangs streets, said she was sitting in her living room when bullets whizzed into her home. Right now, I'm just happy to be here, said Davis, who is considering moving out of her home of four years. And to think that this happened in broad daylight on a Sunday. Wilson said he could not verify that Davis' home had been shot at. Another neighbor at the intersection, who wished not to be named for fear of retaliation, said she was selling clothes outside of her son's home with several family members when she heard gunshots and saw several people running north on Comstock Street. What could we do? We just ran inside, she said. People say this corner is pretty hot. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another of NJ's Finest
Power broker Lynch pleads guilty Former state Sen. John Lynch pleaded guilty this morning to corruption charges, admitting he secretly took tens of thousands of dollars from a contractor who wanted his help developing state parkland. In a hearing in federal District Court in Newark, Lynch pleaded guilty to theft of honest services through fraud and tax evasion. The plea capped an 18-month investigation, coming only days before prosecutors were expected to seek an indictment against the Democratic Party leader and onetime Senate President. Under the plea deal, Lynch agreed to accept a prison term of between 33 and 41 months. In doing so, he avoided a trial on potentially more charges that, if proven, could have jailed him for more than twice as long. Lynch admitted that he broke the law when he accepted consulting payments from officials at Dallenbach Sand Co., a company that sought state permission to buy and mine parkland in South Brunswick Township at the same time Lynch was a state senator. He took between $120,000 and $200,000 from the company between 1998 and 2002. He failed to report $150,000 in income on his 1999 taxes. The project was never completed. The money was quietly funneled to Lynch through Executive Continental, a Tinton Falls consulting company that he formed with Jack Westlake, his friend and business partner. Westlake, 76, was expected to plead guilty today to tax evasion. Lynch arrived in court at about 11:10 a.m. He pleaded guilty to the two counts around 11:45 a.m. The U.S. Attorney's Office is expected to hold a press conference about the plea later today. And Lynch will issue a public a public statement. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another scary crime in our town
From the Asbury Park Press. I posted this earlier, but it still hasn't shown up on the board. ASBURY PARK A Long Branch man who recently served 30 months in prison for an attempted murder in Florida tried to rob the Super Discount store at 700 Main St. Tuesday night but was shot in the stomach during a struggle with the store clerk, police said. Adrian Miller, 23, walked into the store about 6 p.m. with a handgun, Detective Capt. Anthony Salerno said. During the attempted robbery, the store clerk, Wonil Pak, 59, of Ocean Township confronted Miller. They struggled, and the gun went off with three shots fired, one of which hit Miller in the abdomen, Salerno said. Miller fled the store on foot and made it a few blocks before he collapsed in the 1100 block of First Avenue, Salerno said. Police found Miller there after being alerted by someone at the store. One of Miller's shoes had come off and was left in the store, Salerno said. Miller was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. He sustained a very significant wound, but at this time his condition is stable, Salerno said about 4 p.m. Wednesday. Miller is charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and possession of a weapon by certain persons, meaning, in this case, possession by a convicted felon, Salerno said. Miller is under guard in the hospital, with bail set at $355,000 bail. Salerno said Miller was convicted in Florida in 2003 of first-degree attempted murder. He was sentenced to three years and served 85 percent of his time, Salerno said. Miller also was arrested last week in Jersey City and charged with weapons possession, Salerno said. The store clerk will not face charges, police said. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another day, another reason to fear out town...
Below you'll find the text from an article in the APP about another scary crime in our town. In a somewhat related note, I had an interesting conversation with an AP police Sargent about the prostitution problem that plauges my neighborhood. He stated that prostitution is a misdemenor, and that the women arrested basically look at their arrest and brief jail stay as a vacation. He also stated that the AP police dept. is understaffed and overwhelmed, which I believe they are. That being said, what I don't understand is that if there police is short on staff, why do I see groups of police patrolling the boardwalk, but not patrolling the areas such as my block which is a well known crime area. Wouldn't it make sense to have a stonger police presence in an area known to be frequented by prostitutes, their pimps and their associated drug dealers. I guess I can answer my own question, because my neighborhood isn' the only one that is plauged. My second question is this. If prostitution is a misdemenor, then what kind of crime is being a john. We've all seen programs like Cops in which they bust the johns. Why don't they set up a program like that in AP. I guess we don't have the staff to handle that. In conclusion, where and how will AP get the needed extra police to help solve our problems? Where will the money come from to do so? Do we have to wait till the money starts flowing in once Asbury Partners completes their development and people start moving in?

[AsburyPark] Another Facility?
WINIFRED CANRIGHT HOUSE 615 FIRST AVENUE ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY Phone: (732) 988-0260 FAX: (732) 988-0264 There is an acute shortage of housing and support services for indigent people living with HIV/AIDS in New Jersey, particularly in the rural and inner city areas of the state. First there is a general statewide lack of affordable housing for impoverished individuals. Second, the majority of people with HIV/AIDS in New Jersey continue to be intravenous drug users and their partners, most of who live in poverty and are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Often they have no transportation and are too ill to work. Some may obtain temporary shelter in a motel or hotel where support services are unavailable, making it difficult to access healthcare, food and assistance for the related healthcare problems and histories of chemical dependency. Moreover, most shelters are reluctant to take individuals with HIV/AIDS because of the health- related problems. Under the charge of NJAC, Winifred Canright House will provide transitional housing, healthcare and support services so desperately needed by homeless people living with HIV/AIDS. Program stays are normally nine months to one year, however a client may reside at the program for up to two years if necessary or until they are able to become self-sufficient and acquire suitable permanent housing. Services will be provided on a daily basis for up to twenty eligible clients who have HIV/AIDS. Program staff will maintain working relationships with referring agencies interview prospective clients and maintain a waiting list. Upon admission the Case Manager will conduct initial interviews with the client to assess their immediate needs and obtain records from the referring agency/agencies. Within two weeks of admission a medical and social needs-assessment will be conducted and a Program Plan will be in place. Program Plans include budgeting issues, substance use treatment, mental health counseling, transportation needs, employment (if feasible, determined on a client by client basis), medical issues and long- term housing options. If, for medical reasons, employment is not obtainable, the Case Manager will aid the client in applying for monies elsewhere (social security, disability, HOPWA, etc.). The Program Plan will include long and short-term goals with the goal of each client becoming self-sufficient and obtaining suitable permanent housing. During their stay, clients will receive nursing services and meet weekly with their Case Manager to review their progress and identify any new needs or discuss any other issues that the Case Manager and/or client deem necessary. As needed, individual, group or family counseling sessions will be arranged. Program staff will network with local and statewide groups monthly and attend local AIDS and/or housing coalition group meetings in Monmouth County. Program staff will also maintain relationships with local NA and AA representatives to ensure the continuance of client participation both at the program and off-site. Administrative staff will continue to represent the agency on statewide HIV/AIDS related coalitions. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Another reason for a pure sales tax and no income tax
Title: Another reason for a pure sales tax and no income tax For those who think the rich always pay their fair share of taxes, read this from the NY Times today. Tax Cheats Called Out of Control http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/01/business/01tax.html?hpex=1154491200en=e09ef4772e1f3fddei=5094partner=homepage *** I still wish we could have an honest debate nationwide over the idea of abolishing the income tax in favor of a pure sales tax. I think that it would not only make our lives easier (no April 15th nightmares anymore) but would bring more money (or at least the same amount) as our current system. __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Asbury park home Asbury park nj Asbury park hotel Asbury park foreclosure Asbury park real estate YAHOO!

[AsburyPark] Another Politician talking out of his ass (NYT)
Bloomberg Says Power to Seize Private Land Is Vital to Cities By DIANE CARDWELL Wading into yet another contentious national debate, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg came out vigorously yesterday in support of the government's right to seize property by eminent domain, and said Congressional attempts to limit those powers would have dire consequences for the nation's cities. His remarks come in the wake of a 2005 Supreme Court decision establishing the right of localities to seize properties for economic development projects. That ruling set off a firestorm that has spread across the country and in New York, where the potential use of eminent domain has drawn opposition in such projects as the proposed Atlantic Yards complex in Brooklyn. You would never build any big thing any place in any big city in this country if you didn't have the power of eminent domain, Mr. Bloomberg said, speaking at a ground-breaking ceremony in Times Square, which was redeveloped in part through government condemnation of private property. You wouldn't have a job, neither would anybody else standing here today. None of us would. Of late, Mr. Bloomberg has ramped up efforts to influence a range of national policy issues including immigration and gun control. But on this issue he is taking a position that could be at odds with the feelings of New Yorkers wary of development or suspicious of government efforts to seize private property. The mayor is most concerned that the pending legislation would cut off all federal economic development funds to state or local governments for up to two years if they use eminent domain in private development projects. Bloomberg administration officials warned that passage of the bill in Congress could, at a minimum, mean the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars and almost 100,000 jobs for the city. There are some in Albany and Washington, Mr. Bloomberg said, who do not appreciate the crucial importance of eminent domain to our ability to shape our own future. They mistakenly equate it with an abuse of government power, and ignore the benefits that come to us all from responsible development of formerly blighted areas. The bill, passed last year by the House of Representatives and now pending in the Senate, is one of many federal and state measures aimed at constraining the government's power to seize private property that have been proposed or adopted in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling. Since the ruling, which upheld the authority of New London, Conn., to condemn homes to allow for private redevelopment, conservative and liberal members of Congress have joined together to fashion new federal limits on eminent domain seizures. At the same time, lawmakers in nearly every state have advanced bills and amendments, addressing an issue that is often emotionally fraught among their constituents. The vast, overwhelming majority of Americans are opposed to using eminent domain, said Dana Berliner, a senior lawyer at the Institute for Justice, a leading advocate for curtailing its use. There's still in the United States a very strong ethic that you work hard so that some day you or your children can own a home, she said, adding that using eminent domain for private development makes a mockery of those aspirations. The only people who are really supporting it are government, planners and the developers that take advantage of eminent domain, she said. In New York, for example, the proposed use of eminent domain by the developer Forest City Ratner to bring a basketball arena and a swath of residential, office and commercial towers to the Atlantic Terminal area touched off fierce opposition, especially in surrounding neighborhoods. The concept, though, proved unpopular elsewhere as well. A New York Times poll in April 2004 found that only 18 percent of city residents favored the construction of a new basketball arena in Brooklyn it if it required the demolition of homes and businesses. (Forest City Ratner is the development partner of The New York Times Company in building its new Midtown headquarters, a project that itself involved government condemnation of private property.) To the Bloomberg administration, however, the wheels of economic development would grind to a halt without the use of eminent domain. Low-cost housing developments like the Nehemiah homes in East New York, Brooklyn, and Melrose Commons in the Bronx would not have been built and Times Square would remain the poster child for a seedy, dangerous, unattractive, porno-laced place, Mr. Bloomberg said. City officials also argue that New York State law protects property owners from abusive uses of eminent domain because it requires property to be designated as a blight before it can be seized for private development and because people have access to the courts. But many critics dismiss that argument. New York's blight designation is a joke, Ms. Berliner
[AsburyPark] Another part of our Heritage destroyed.
There is a very attractive 20's era brick building on Main Street just north of Franks Deli. Storefronts faceing Main and a nice residential entrance faceing 6th. I've been watching it's rehabilitation with great expectations, new windows, repointed brickwork, restored storefronts in the future. Yesterday it was being painted white. Yes, this beautiful brick building that has survived for decades and conveyed a sense of history and heritage about our city is being painted white. Another piece of the City's architectural heritage whitewashed over. How ironic that the new ownership was highlighted in the Tri-City News several months ago and hailed for doing the right thing to restore this site. I can only think of one explaination - ignorance.

[AsburyPark] Another part of Heritage scrapped
Demolition of the Park Cinema (Lyric Theater)started this morning. Another landmark and part of Asbury Park's entertainment heritage thrown in the dumpster. Some will say 'thank God - its about time' simply because a XXX business took residence in the building in resent times. I always saw the potential of redeveloping the entire block to incorporate the Palace, the Theater and the Hotel (Talking Bird) into a destination/tourism experience. Imagine historic rides alongside virtual reality, a museum with an authentic theater actually in use. You could have stayed a weekend and eat in a restaurant overlooking the Lake. Food for thought: had such a plan been started 4 years ago as part of a preservation and restoration based ethic we would now have a major ratable and huge positive press. Not to mention people coming into town and spending money along with the jobs created for local residents. Alas, there is no preservation ethic here, nor has there been any good planning that addresses Asbury Park's strengths and how to use them to maximum benefit for the City. Look up Heritage and Destination Tourism as it relates to historic preservation. Well, back to the theater for more photos, since that's all that will be left.
