[AsburyPark] Asbury Park, Europe the future

2012-04-08 Thread Dave
With all due respect to Hinge and Werner (both of whom i respect for their 
posts, intelligence, knowledge and passion about the town, particularly werner 
who is extremely knowledgable on a number of topics), it is important that we 
realize that Asbury is not continental Europe and that ironically is a good 
thing.  While gorgeous in architecture and history, the socialistic aspects of 
Europe have effectively brought the continent to its knees in a terrible 
financial crisis that in many ways is far worse than the housing situation that 
we went through here.  The crisis in that content will continue to plague them 
for years to come and while all of us love Europe for its splendor, it is 
unfortunately a great place to visit but one who's future is troubled by its 
financial situation which will be an albatross for years to come.  

I too wish that Asbury could be completely restored to its former splendor.  
However, i am also aware that i have to balance that desire with the pragmatic 
aspects of the current and the future.  Both in regard to economics and social 
change.  While historic theatre's are romantic and whimsical to think about, we 
live in a world of iPod's and Facebook.  Sometimes change is scary but it is a 
part of moving forward in history.  Just like Asbury was transformative in its 
beginning, it should be so again.  When reading the history books, the town was 
forward thinking with indoor air conditioning in the paramount or a train line 
over sunset bridge that took patrons downtown for shopping.  in the 1920's this 
was futuristic stuff.  We need to think about what is forward thinking now and 
attempt to tie it appropriately to our past.  One size does not fit all.  

I for one think the town is on a very promising path of resurgence.  Asbury has 
done extremely well though a brutal economic downturn.  With no help from a 
very failed redevelopment plan, the town has found a way to claw itself further 
along house by house, business by business.  Crime is obviously a very serious 
problem and one that needs to be addressed.  So where do we go from here.  
Importantly, the economy is starting to rebound and the housing market has 
found its bottom although their is likely to be a shallow upturn rather than a 
resurgence.  As werner has talked about i think the town's resurgence has its 
roots in music and entertainment.  I'm glad bamboozle is coming to Asbury and 
anything we can do to promote both music and entertainment should be applauded

how can we blend the past and the future?  While i agree with Werner that the 
loss of some of the historical treasures are a tragedy, i also realize that the 
economic realities made it so.  that being said, i think the historical 
artifacts and building that are left such as convention hall or the beautiful 
casino building should be brought back to their historical glory.  This is an 
enormous economic undertaking and needs to be considered in light of 
reformation in the context of a return on invested capital.  Even back in the 
1920's, the architects of the buildings did not think they were going to be 
built for beauty alone without form of purpose.  

I am a bit discouraged regarding the posts i read on this site.  I find that 
every post is castigating madison marquette for all of their transgressions.  I 
want to say that i have zero affiliation with madison marquette and only have 
spoken to their representatives over an errant vodka soda one summer evening.  
i agree they have made some mistakes but as a homeowner in this town i am 
thrilled that they are here, undertaking an enormous monetary  investment and 
trying to bring the town back in spite of its challenges.  I know that given 
the circumstances most people would have cut bait at this point considering the 
investment and I for one am glad MM has not.  I'm not sure what the alternative 
is.  It's always easy to criticize but always more difficult to offer 
solutions.  

I'm not sure if anyone from Madison marquette reads this board.  Or if any of 
the more involved citizens of Asbury would be willing to get involved.  I think 
it would be a great idea to bring together an ad hoc group to discuss potential 
improvements to the redevelopment and or town under the concept of cooperation 
and not attack...  effectively a brain storming group where no idea was stupid 
and attacks on the past, future or status quo were avoided in lieu of ideas 
about what could be better.  With an understanding that economics matter, money 
isn't free flowing and that change has to be made in the context of pragmatic 
realistic decision making.  Also, the AP police department does an excellent 
job but any suggestions from them as to how we could all get involved and help 
would be appreciated also.  If anyone is up for it, please feel free to respond 
to the post and we can take it from there.  

Regards,

Dan S.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Bartender Mix-Off

2012-02-12 Thread hmelissar

Hello all,

Does anyone know if the Bartender Mix-off at Convention Hall is happening this 
year? I have looked online, even on the AP 
Boardwalk Facebook page, and called Madison Marquette, but there is never any 
answer there. It's usually in February. Thanks.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park High's football team

2011-12-06 Thread mkdown13
Just wanted to put this out there for the AP Group –

I think we all agree that Asbury Park is a city in transition and that many 
improvements are needed on a number of fronts.  But some times we get so 
focused on which restaurants are opening and closing, crime, the parking 
issues, the city government, etc, that we miss little news stories that 
highlight some of the good things that happen in town.  On Saturday, Asbury 
Park High's football team beat Florence 42-18 to win the Group 1 championship – 
our team may be smaller than most others it plays against and usually 
outnumbered, but the heart, soul, and passion of this team is incredible (it 
was especially touching to see the kids holding up the photo of John Key – 
their coach who was killed earlier this season – out of love and respect for 
someone who tried to make a difference with these kids).  Our city can be proud 
of.

Dear Lynn, 



Did you have a flooded basement, a dark house and a loss of hot water
this past hurricane?

 

Please join us this Friday night, September 9th, as we hear from the
general manager of Asbury Electric,  Shaun McHugh.  He will explain all
of the new and various options for backup power and generators to the AP
Homeowners Association.  Hurricane season is not yet over and blizzards
may be just around the corner once again.  Generators are now becoming
more affordable, but the options can be confusing.  Please join us for a
short power point presentation and learn more about available options
for your home.  Please bring all of your questions as well.

 

We will also map out the topics for the meetings for the balance of the
year, with the input from members.

 

We look forward to seeing you this Friday, September 9th at 6:30pm in
the City Council Chambers.

Asbury Park, NJ – The Asbury Park Oysterfest has become one of
Asbury's biggest festivals, says Asbury Park Chamber of
Commerce Executive Director Jackie Pappas, stretching over three
days and turning water-lined Lake Avenue into one long funway of
oysters, restaurant sampling, non-stop music, children's rides and
amusements, over 100 crafters and gift vendors, and cold beer and wine
stops, connecting Asbury's exciting downtown to its beautiful
oceanfront boardwalk.

The festival runs Friday, September 9 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday,
September 10 from 11:00 a.m. to 8 p.m.;   Sunday, September 11, from

Now in its 5th year, the Asbury Park Oysterfest is known for drawing
thousands.
Richie Tarzian, President of The Passion Group, a national event
management group based in Asbury Park which has coordinated the Asbury
Park Oysterfest since 2009 says This is a huge, fantastic event
which we expect will draw 35,000 to 40,000 visitors. Some people might
think September is the end of the season but if you really know the
Jersey Shore, you know that September marks the best month to enjoy all
that Asbury Park and the Jersey Shore have to offer.  The Passion Group
is thrilled to once again be producing The Asbury Park Oysterfest and
celebrating all that's good at the Jersey Shore – oysters and
other delicious food from the area's top restaurants, the amazing
legacy that's made Asbury Park a musical landmark, and tons of
family fun with crafts, rides and other amusements. There's
something for everyone, set in a clean, well managed event venue.

The Passion Group will coordinate seven festivals along the Jersey Shore
this summer, making it the leader in producing New Jersey's summer
celebrations.

NEW SPORTS LOUNGE
With Ice cold Coors Light along with other specialty craft beers, there
is no place you would rather watch the Rutgers game on Saturday or your
favorite NFL team on Sunday than our all new Sports Lounge. Located in
the heart of the event with HD plazma TV's and high top tables
throughout, this is no doubt going to be the place to be for all you 
Oyster-Eating Sports Fans!

OYSTERS, OYSTERS  MORE

Ragin' Cajun, Irene's Cuisine, Jersey Shore BBQ, Chippies and
more festival favorites, plus an oyster eating contest with celebrity
judges and oyster shucking.

MUSICAL LINEUP
Random Test, Michael Patrick's Ring of Fire Band (A tribute to
Johnny Cash), Dub Proof, The Matt Wade Band, Refuze, Josh Zuckerman plus
more musical acts will perform. DJ Bacardi Ardi and Rob Bush will be

of musical talent, says Jackie Pappas, Executive Director of the

music all weekend long – just what everyone expects from Asbury
Park. Erin Patrick will wow the crowd with the national Anthem and
a moment of silence on Sunday morning, in memory of 9/11.

Our craft and vendor area is its own outdoor mini mall, with handmade

artful beer steins, photography, jewelry, even mini massages and
temporary tattoos.

  THE OYSTERFEST SUPPORTS
The Boys  Girls Clubs of Monmouth County provide a safe place for young
people, especially those who need our help the most, close to home,
where they can receive programs and services that will help them realize
their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park bicycle thieves

2011-06-10 Thread Hinge
Last night at 7 pm I surprised a would be bicycle thief who was in the process 
of trying to steal my bicycle seat/seat post. This happened in broad daylight. 
I was leaving my apt with my dog when this little shit heard us coming down the 
stairs, and I saw him with his hands on my bike. He ran away before I could see

Re: [AsburyPark] Asbury Park bicycle thieves

2011-06-10 Thread cbrianwatkins
Huge problem right now? That's what they told me 3yrs ago when I had 3bikes 
stolen in 8days (recovered 2 of the 3, one bike the following day in front of 
my house, and my vintage rat rod 5 MONTHS LATER)


A teacher in APHS who lives down the street from, has told us on several 
occasions these kids consider any bike in AP theirs. She also told us 90% of 
the bikes we see these kids on are stolen

I have had a kid tell me to my face while on my vintage 1970 ross apollo that 
he was gonna take that shit right from me

Last night at 7 pm I surprised a would be bicycle thief who was in the process 
of trying to steal my bicycle seat/seat post. This happened in broad daylight. 
I was leaving my apt with my dog when this little shit heard us coming down the 
stairs, and I saw him with his hands on my bike. He ran away before I could see 
his face, but I did see him join a group of three other kids on BMX bikes, and 
they all sped away. I called the APPD and they confirmed that this is a huge

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Triathalon Sunday!

2011-06-08 Thread martin_kerri
The Asbury Park Triathalon is coming to town and Second Life Bikes has been 
recruited to staff the volunteers.  This helps us financially and gives us 
great exposure in the race community.

We are looking for people to help us early Sunday morning to pass out water and 
marshall the race course.  Meeting near Stella Marina at 5am.  You will be done 
by 9:30am.  Being up that early and watching the triathletes is actually fun 
and inspiring.

Contact me at ke...@secondlifebikes.org or 732-776-6878 if you can help us, 
help the triathalon, help AP.  Pass on to any other civic organizations or 
groups who could donate their time.

Thanks,
Kerri

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Homeowner's Meeting: Tomorrow Night!

2011-03-24 Thread Daniel Weiss
Dear neighbors, friends, acquaintances and strangers,

 

Tomorrow night will be HUGE as Tom Gilmour might say. The new Monmouth County 
prosecutor, Peter Warshaw, is coming to speak to the Asbury Park Homeowner's 
Association. We need a huge turnout so that they will see and meet all of us 
and take Asbury Park as seriously as we do. We have many dedicated people in 
our county Prosecutor's office. This is your chance to have your questions and 
concerns answered, and it is a wonderful and unique opportunity for them to see 
our diverse and changing community. This could be a pivotal meeting. This is 
the time for all of us to be united and to show them that there is a critical 
and growing mass of residents who truly care about our great city. 

Whatever your plans may be tomorrow evening, I urge you to make your Friday 
night revolve around this meeting. We need all of you to be at City Council 
Chambers no later than 7pm. I hope we have hundreds of people present. We are 
all busy people...and we all have crazy schedules, but our Executive committee 
of the APHOA has gone to great lengths to get the County Prosecutor's office to 
agree to come here, and on a Friday night!

 

I am begging and pleading of each and every one of you, whether full time 
resident or part time resident, city official, gay, lesbian, straight, curved, 
etc. to all come to this meeting. Please also urge your fellow homeowners to 
attend as well. Please see the link below for more information.

Thank you and we hope to see you tomorrow evening!

 Well, i'm feeling reckless today so let's throw out some ideas.  Since  
 iStar owns the property but not the development rights then why don't we 
 restart  our redevelopment.  Why not find those old plans in City Hall that I 
 keep 
  talking about and dust them off.  It actually would be a very workable 
 plan  today.  A combination of residential and commercial and if I remember  
 correctly no where near 3000 units.  It was also designed so that  individual 
 builders could bid on each section which had specific guidelines as  to 
 number of residential units, square footage of commerical and minimum dollars 
  
 to be spent.
  
 Now, here's the brilliant part--once we have a redevelopment back in place, 
  why can't we simply take back the iStar properties by eminent domain, 
 based on  current market value?  Crazier things have been done on this 
 beachfront  (like my property taken when there wasn't even a plan to develop 
 the  
 site).  And, hopefully any City property owned by Asbury Properties had  
 reverter clauses (dare we hope that was done).
  
 just my 2 cents worth...
 

Lets expand on those thoughts. iStar owns SOME of the property outright, but 
currently has the right to acquire additional property through eminent domain.

Lets assume that the redevelopment contract can be voided due to default which 
would leave the redevelopment plan intact. The plan could then be amended to 
change which properties are to be acquired along with zoning, land use, 
densities, etc.

The prior plan (which I have a copy of) is certainly a better model than what 
we have now. Unfortunately the Wesley Grove project is already there which 
would need to be worked around. In any case a new plan is an absolute 
necessity, lets talk about that later. Planing will be critical to get out of 
this mess.

The City could itself exercise eminent domain for the traditional purposes such 
as parks, streets, public amenities... The current foundation of the C8 site is 
a parking garage which would qualify as a public amenity - eminent domain it 
and then sell the air rights above it for private development. Public/private 
partnership without the ridiculous land banking and third parties.

Implement that concept in strategic locations along with independent 
development according to the new plan. Force istar to develop its parcel or 
face condemnation such as the Empress scenario.

Werner

Asbury Park blaze sends firefighter to hospital

ASBURY PARK — Firefighter Jason Fazio,  seriously burned in a midmorning 
fire on Main Street, was in critical condition  at the St. Barnabas Burn 
Center in Livingston Monday afternoon, city officials  said. 
 






Fazio, 41, acting captain of the truck company on the  shift, went into the 
400 Main St. building which contains 12 second-floor  apartments and stores 
on the first floor at the corner of Main Street and Bangs  Avenue, across 
from the city post office. 
No one was home in the one apartment that was gutted in the fire.

(http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=B3Dato=20110110Kategori=MULTIMEDIA02Lopenr=101100801Ref=PH)
  

Fazio was in a room in that apartment, which flashed over from the heat. He 
 dove out of the second story apartment to save himself, Fire Chief Kevin 
Keddy  said. 
Fazio suffered fractured bones secondary to his burns, Keddy said. 
Fire officials said they were waiting for medical authorities at the burn  
center to give an assessment of Fazio's conditions. Earlier reports were 
that it  was at least second-degree burns, Mayor Ed Johnson said. 
Fazio's injuries happened on his 41st birthday. He was hired as a 
firefighter  in 1994. 
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, the county Fire Marshal's Office,  
and state Division of Fire Safety, were all investigating the fire Monday. 
The cause of the fire was still being determined. 
This is a big puzzle we're putting together and until we put all the 
pieces  together, we aren't going to have all the answers,'' said Garrett 
Giberson, the  city fire official, said. One apartment next to the gutted 
apartment 
also was  damaged from the fire as well as a first-floor restaurant. 
In all, families from four of the apartments went to hotels, or homes of  
friends or relatives Monday night, said Leo B. Pratte, chief disaster and  
logistics officer for the American Red Cross, Jersey Coast Chapter. 
Residents from all of the apartments who were home Monday were housed and  
given food by the Red Cross at the nearby City Hall Council Chambers. 
Our immediate concern is for the health and well being of Jason and for 
the  comfort of his family and safety and safe lodgings of the apartment 
residents,''  Johnson said.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park gets $11.75M in state aid

2010-09-17 Thread oOoOoOo
ASBURY PARK — The city has learned it will receive $11,750,000 in state 
transitional aid -- the extra money the state Department of Community Affairs 
funnels to distressed cities each year.

Gov. Chris Christie required municipalities to go through a fairly rigorous 
application process this year and Asbury Park appeared to meet or exceed some 
of the requirements to show the city's need, demonstrate what Asbury is doing 
for itself, and meaningful proposals to regionalize services, city officials 
said.


The city can now adopt its 2010 budget of $40 million, possibly at its Oct. 6 
meeting. Asbury Park asked the state for $14 million. Last year, it received 
$10.5 million, the year before $12 million. DCA notified City Manager Terence 
Reidy Thursday night.


I think it speaks to the progress we're making in Asbury Park,'' said Mayor Ed 
Johnson Friday morning. We have a brand new governor, we have economic 
challenges around the state, funding is limited and I think this is definitely 
a vote of confidence in Asbury Park, not just the government, but the community 
itself.''


This aid gets us to the 2-yard line on the overall impact on the tax rate,'' 
Reidy said. What I'll be doing over the next couple of days with the finance 
director is to work our way back through the budget and bring a recommendation 
to the governing body.''


The city was looking at a $12.2 million shortfall on the budget. The new aid 
does not cover an arbitration award of about $700,000 to pay raises the past 
three years that police have won. City municipal workers and firefighters have 
not received raises during that time.


DCA officials could not be reached for comment Friday morning but it appeared 
they have not yet released the transitional aid figures for all towns.


Reidy said the application process held all municipalities to a higher standard 
for receiving the aid this year.


Asbury Park was able to show the need, that goes without saying,'' he said. 
Even more importantly, we were able to demonstrate we have been taking very, 
very bold and effective measures to close the gap, lower our overhead and 
increase our revenues.''


Some examples of Asbury Park doing better at helping itself include the 
increase in beach revenue from $35,000 seven years ago to $750,000 this past 
summer, Reidy said.


And, in putting in new parking meters on the beachfront last year, the city 
went from no revenue for parking to $270,000 last year and $370,000 so far this 
year.


Like many other towns, Asbury Park laid off some of its work force. People 
retiring are not being replaced.


Reidy said he requested in the application process to work with the governor 
and DCA Commissioner Lori Grifa to use Monmouth County as a model on how to 
regionalize services.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park on foxnews.com

2010-07-26 Thread oOoOoOo

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2010/07/23/asbury-park/

Unmarred by chain stores and the sameness that seems to afflict beachside 
communities nationwide, Asbury Park is a historic Jersey Coast gem where Beaux 
Arts and Victoriana architecture unapologetically stand side by side. As you 
stroll you'll discover that at its heart, Asbury Park - which it's acceptable 
to call AP - is a cluster of mom and pop businesses and other concerns that 
keeps the past alive through wonderful kitschy details.

Asbury Park was once a place Presidents vacationed, but along the way - after 
1970 riots and a spell of political corruption - AP fell into a state of urban 
decay. Locals silently thank Bruce Springsteen for planting the earliest seeds 
of urban renewal by naming his 1973 sophomore album Greetings From Asbury 
Park after playing around town for several years and having had the courtesy 
to grow up in nearby Red Bank.

A car's not necessary if you're striking out from the New York area - ride a NJ 
Transit train to the Asbury Park stop and head straight up Cookman Avenue to 
the Boardwalk -  AP's highlights are within a square mile of here. As you 
stroll Cookman you'll have your pick of pre-boardwalk munchies but if you want 
to head straight for sand, most local restaurants deliver directly to the 
beach. Here now, the other Jersey Shore.

5… Take a walk on the boardwalk.

The boardwalk greets you with a large yellow-and-black sign with a 
patina-covered copper schooner sitting atop it, which might remind you that one 
of maritime's worst tragedies ever took place just outside AP's famous 
Convention Hall in 1934. The Morro Castle cruise ship's library caught fire and 
it resulted in 180 people losing their lives. It took a few months for local 
authorities to get the remnants of the ship out of the water just east of the 
AP Convention Hall. A granite monument was placed on the grounds just in front 
of the boardwalk sign to commemorate the tragedy's 75th anniversary in 
September 2009.

In its glory days, the Boardwalk was famous for rides and other family 
attractions – including the Tilt-A-Whirl and Madam Marie's psychic hut, both 
glorified in Springsteen's Fourth Of July Asbury Park (Sandy) lyrics. Madam 
Marie's - smack dab in the center - is one of the few original Boardwalk 
attractions still standing. The late Marie Castello actually garnered a New 
York Times obituary when she died on June 27, 2008. Family members have since 
taken over the business and are available for consultations (732-775-5327). 
Legend has it that The Boss maintained a long-running friendship with Madam 
Marie, stopping in now and again to chat - and he has stated that the Madam did 
predict his success.

At the Asbury Park Galleria you'll encounter eclectic souvenirs including items 
emblazoned with the image of Tillie - a roughly-painted portrait of a girl 
who oddly looks like The Little Rascals' Alfalfa. You'll also spot Tillie's 
likeness on the wall of the Wonder Bar (1213 Ocean Ave., 732-502-8886). Kay 
Harris, the owner of the Galleria, is AP's friendly unofficial historian and 
she can give you some good advice on the town's must-sees.

2…Trot over to the Stone Pony.

The Stone Pony (913 Ocean Avenue (corner of 2nd and Ocean Aves., 732-502-0600, 
stoneponyonline.com) is one of the most famous rock venues in the world. 
Springsteen put it on the map and stars like Patti Smith and Keith Richards 
have fought to keep it open in more trying times. The Stone Pony still brings 
in the big names and in the late afternoon you can see the rock tour buses pull 
into the parking lot just across the street as sound check time approaches.

The boxy 36-year-old club is so small that you can hear the show clearly 
standing outside its front awning. The big name talent sells out fast and the 
original ambiance remains. The Pony is not just about rock and roll, though - 
many blues artists take the stage, plus on Wednesdays there are country shows 
presented by Jersey radio station Thunder Country 98.5 and on Thursdays there 
is Open Artist Night, which features all genres of music.

1…This casino's not about gambling.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park schools hire security manager

2010-07-24 Thread asburysteve
 
_By NANCY SHIELDS_ (mailto:shie...@app.com)  •  STAFF WRITER • July 22, 
2010  
ASBURY PARK — The city Board of Education has hired former  city police 
director Louis Jordan as a part-time security manager to oversee the  school 
district's security and 18 security guards. 
 






Jordan will make $30,000 in the 12-month position. 
School Superintendent Denise Lowe said Thursday it is a  new position, and 
one of her early questions after taking over as superintendent  last year 
was why the district didn't have someone in charge of security. 
Part of the position is training, safety assessment,  assessing our 
needs, she said. Lowe said Jordan comes with the expertise needed  to train 
the 
security staff and work with parents. 
Jordan served as Asbury Park's police director from  2002 to 2005 but did 
not get his contract renewed after using a quasi-military  approach, with new 
titles and new honorary positions to make his officers more  accountable. 
He ended up prompting resentment and opposition from both the  majority of 
his superior officers as well as the rank and file, and could not  hold on to 
his job. 
But through the years, Jordan has held the deep respect  of many city 
families. He has made children a priority in his work and was an  investigator 
for 14 years with the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office,  specializing in 
bias crime and gangs. Before that, he was a Neptune police  officer from 1980 
to 1987.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park looks to have its own new hit with Exit 102

2009-01-15 Thread MarioAPNJ
 
Filming for the final full version will take place this spring in the  Asbury 
Park Area.
 
Excerpted from  _http://tinyurl.com/794zoa_ (http://tinyurl.com/794zoa) 
 
Exit 102 is a gritty gem of a film that takes the viewer back to the  golden 
years when loyalty and honor was the code and meant way more than  carrying a 
glock and wearing your baggy pants down off your ass. It showcases a  better 
time for many and is centered on the vibe of a close knit community on  the 
brink of life changing turmoil. 
The premiere took place in November at the Paramount Theater and was an  
outstanding success. Peter and Ran told the packed house that they had received 
 
full funding (14 million dollars) and are ready to go full bore. Madison  
Marquette’s Meagan Olivera told me that attendance numbers were around 1,000. 
It  
was great to see that the whole town turned out to support and cheer so wildly  
as the screen lit up. To me it represented a triumphant sounding for a town  
that’s weathered everything and survived. I’d like to think of the  
representation of the film as Leonardo made its mark with Clerks, and  now 
Asbury Park 
looks to have its own new hit with Exit 102.  For  further information go to

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Roastery for Christmas Gifts.

2008-12-11 Thread Paul Vail
I love plugging the Asbury Park Roastery. I am addicted to the
product. We drink a pot of it a day at home. My favorites are
COSTA RICA and EL SALVADOR. Both have a lot of flavor without any
trace of bitterness. It's the only coffee I drink black.

At ten bucks or so a bag, these are great for stocking stuffing or
gift exchanges. I think Ali is making gift baskets with teas and
hot chocolates too. A great way to promote Asbury Park to business
associates and family back home.

And by the way, any Asbury Park restaurant that is not selling Ali's
coffee is missing out.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Help Needed!!!

2008-12-10 Thread Michael W. Brim
From the AP Press - Online

Dear List Members:

ASBURY PARK - City police are seeking extra help this year from anyone who
can give a new toy for a child, ranging from infants to 17-year-olds, in the
annual Toys For Tots program.

Sgt. Connie Breech said the number of applications from families in need
doubled this year from 200 to 400 and donations are slim. The Asbury police
program is in its 10th year.

We're in a little of a crisis this year,'' Breech said today. The need for
toys and gifts is far exceeding the donations we've received so far. We're
asking for extra help from anyone -- from friends of Asbury Park.''

New toys should be dropped off at the police station. Families who applied
pick up the toys the Saturday before Christmas and take them home to wrap
them.

These are the times when it's most important for communities to come
together and support those most in need,'' City Manager Terence Reidy said.
This is a good way to demonstrate it. Any contribution made goes directly
from you to a child.''

Breech said if people prefer to send cash or a check to her at the police
department, the address is 1 Municipal Plaza, Asbury Park, 07712. A tax
receipt is available for donations.

For more information, call Breech at (732) 774-1300.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park 14 Winston-Salem Yet to Score

2008-12-07 Thread justifiedright
Update: Blue Bishops advance at Pop Warner Super Bowl, 14-0
SARAH WEBSTER STAFF WRITER • December 7, 2008

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA — The Asbury Park Blue Bishops Junior Midget 
team Sunday advanced to the second round of the Pop Warner Super 
Bowl, beating Winston-Salem, N.C., 14-0, in an opening-round game at 
the Disney Wide World of Sports complex here. The Blue Bishops now 
move to the second round Wednesday when they will meet the Santa Ana 
(Calif.) White Monarchs, a 26-0 first-round winner over the Holy 
Cross (Tex.) Knights.

All the Asbury Park scoring came in the first half as two key punt 
returns by Myles Martin set up the two Blue Bishop scores that 
proved to be the difference.

The Blue Bishops took an 8-0 lead with 6:38 left in the second 
quarter when Martin returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown. Asbury 
Park converted a two-point kick to take an 8-0 lead. In Pop Warner, 
a successful PAT kick counts for two points while a run counts 1 
extra point.

Later in the second quarter, Asbury Park added another score, taking 
a 14-0 lead at half time. Tyrice Beverette ran 10 yards for the 
touchdown. The extra-point kick was no good. The touchdown was set 
up when Martin took another punt return 55 yards to the Winston-
Salem 20-yard line.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park to get $90G more from developer for land

2008-11-05 Thread mark07712
ASBURY PARK — The city has agreed to sell a triangular-shaped piece 
of beachfront land at its north end to developer Asbury Partners for 
$490,000, an amount determined by an appraiser several years ago.

An appraiser for the developer at the time valued the parking lot 
site at $170,000, an estimate that set off sharp criticism of Asbury 
Partners from some residents and officials, who said the city should 
get millions based on how the land would be developed.

According to a city resolution approved last week, the property had 
to be appraised for its value at Aug. 1, 2001, when the city and 
Asbury Partners were starting their venture to rebuild the 
beachfront.

Asbury Partners had already paid $400,000 as the city and developer 
attempted to reach an agreement on the final price over the years. 
The city will get the last $90,000 it is owed.

My thing is that it's been hanging out there, and we need the 
revenue, Deputy Mayor Jim Bruno said Tuesday. That's what it was 
worth.

According to the waterfront redevelopment plan approved nearly two 
years after the Aug. 1, 2001, valuation date for the land, the land 
will be a residential site. The City Council also is expected to 
approve street changes to make the triangular lot a buildable lot.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Then Now double CD

2008-10-17 Thread Mario

Asbury Park Then And Now - chronicles the music of the shore's musicians
===   Tracks and
artists listed at Amazon:  http://tinyurl.com/6zrplk
http://tinyurl.com/6zrplk   5 Stars --  What's on Asbury Park
Then  Now double cd release, October 7, 2008
This double CD contains 46 classic and new tracks from 1963 to 2008 with
all of the original creators of the Sound of Asbury Park. Eight never
before heard tracks with 5 members of the E Street Band backing shore
legend Stormin' Norman, plus Nicky Addeo  The Night Owls, The
Jaywalkers, The Motifs, Harry Ray  The Valtairs who later became a
member of Ray Goodman and Brown, The Soul Set, The Joyful Noyze,
Stormin' Norman  Steel Breeze, The Uniques, Tony Maples, Barbaroso and
The Historians and more. This is the history of the whole sound that
started Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny who took it to
another lever. If you like the Jersey shore sound, good music and
history to go along, Asbury Park Then  Now is the best double set on
the market and just out!

===
From the the October 17 issue of Two River Times,  Story and Photo by
Andy McDonough
Norman Seldin's new CD set Asbury Park Then And Now features some of
the Jersey Shore's finest musicians.

Who can tell what will make the history books and what won't? Local
musician and music producer, Stormin' Norman Seldin seems to have an
idea. His two-CD collection of the music of Asbury Park is being played
worldwide. It's crazy, says Seldin, holding up a list of the top ten
hits of a popular German radio station. Two cuts from his CD by
Barbaroso and The Historians are among the top hits for Rockin' Rollin'
Rheinwelle this week. We're getting requests for this music, he says,
from around the world!

Seldin knows the shore music scene, perhaps better than anyone, having
been active as a player and producing concerts since his early teens.
With the exception of tours to the Mississippi Delta and some large
venues where he has shared the stage with
greats including Roy Orbison, The Temptations and Jackie Wilson, Seldin
has been a regular on the shore music scene with his bands. In addition
to his early bands, like The Soul Set, he has recorded over the years
with some of the shore's best known acts, including The Valtairs, Nicky
Addeo, The Uniques, Tony Maples, The Shondells, Babaroso and the
Historians, and the Motifs, managing many of their scheduled
appearances.
Always producing and recording music, in the 1980s Seldin hit the
recording studio with many of the area's best players, including a few
who have gone on to receive international acclaim either as members of
Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band or with formidable acts of their own,
like Southside Johnny Lyon. Those sessions were never released until
Seldin compiled them with classic recordings from the Asbury scene and
some current recordings on Asbury Park Then and Now. The CD set boasts
46 cuts with some famous personnel, but also some of the local artists
who stayed behind to keep the Jersey shore music scene alive. We have
well over 250 hours of digital remastering invested in this project,
says Seldin, But it is worth it to hear some of these great songs again
sounding so good again.

In addition to classic Doo Wop sounds on the CD set, Springsteen fans
will find eight never-before-heard recordings with E Street Band members
Garry Tallent, Clarence Clemons, Max Weinberg, the late Danny Federici,
and Roy Bittan, from 1980s recording sessions. Seldin sings lead, with
local guitar legend, Billy Ryan, on guitar and harmony on I Wanna Rock
'n' Roll by Southside Johnny. Plus, you can hear Clarence Clemons'
first studio session with Seldin's band, Joyful Noyze. There are also
features by Nicky Addeo, the Motifs, the Jaywalkers and more.

In a new book from Rutgers Press, Local Heroes, author Anders Martensson
and photographer Jorgen Johansson focus on the myths, legends, and
romantic visions of Asbury's music scene. The book delves into the
backgrounds of the widely popular artists, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van
Zandt, and Southside Johnny Lyon, whose names are now inseparable from
the town that launched their careers, but the author also devotes seven
pages to Seldin and his bands that helped to forge what became known as
the Jersey Shore sound - what some have come to call SOAP or the Sound
of Asbury Park.

Asbury Park Then and Now is available locally at Seldin's Trinkets, 2
West Front St. Red Bank (732-741-6990) or Jack's Music Shoppe 30 Broad
St. Red Bank (732-842-0731) or can be ordered online at Amazon.com.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park v Howell

2008-10-16 Thread justifiedright
Very intriguing Pop Warner game on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 if you 
are interested. 

PLEASE READ THIS (particularly the bottom!):

Don't know if you've heard about Asbury Park's Pop Warner this year.  

At one point in the season, not only was every team at every level 
(mighty might, jr pee wee, pee wee, jr midget and midget) undefeated, 
BUT EVERY GAME AT EVERY LEVEL WAS A SHUT OUT. Wow.  Not sure if 
that's even changed.

For some reason, many kids from Neptune are playing for Asbury.  
Neptune's program seems decimated.  I heard they had to drop one 
level completely, and when the mighty might team I coach in Howell 
went to play them, Neptune forfieted for not having enough players.  
Anyone know what's up with that?   Sharon??

Anyway, Howell also has an undefeated team (not sure if it is pee wee 
or jr midget).   They happen to be playing an Asbury team on Sunday.

I'll be spotting the game for the announcer.  The announcer will be 
Mike Clark, who graduated APHS with me and coaches with me here in 
Howell.

HOWELL WILL BE PACKED WITH FANS!  They moved this game from Saturday 
because Saturday is Howell Day and the fear was so many people were 
going to the game that Howell Day would be a bust.

Accordingly, to keep Howells 12th man off the field, the Asbury 
Park kids are going to need many people to come cheer for them, so 
pass this around and come if you can.  

Show some Asbury spirit and come support the kids.

Everyone's welcome.

Should be fun and a great game.

Here's where:

Howell Pop Warner Complex

GSP (N)/(S) Exit 98 Route 138 West, which turns into Interstate 195 
West. Continue 2 miles to Exit 31A, Monmouth County Route 547 South. 
Go 1000 feet to the traffic light and turn right onto Old Tavern 
Road. The complex will be approx. 500 feet after the railroad 
crossing, across from the Law Enforcement Center, and Library.

Route 9 (Optional) (N)/(S) to Aldrich Road East, and continue to the 
end. At the yield sign, bear right on Windler Road, and continue 500 
feet to Oak Glen Road, turn left. Around the 1st curve, turns into 
Old Tavern Road. Proceed ½ miles, and just past Preventorium Road, 
field will be on the right, across from Law Enforcement Center.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park court swamped by parking tickets

2008-08-30 Thread Jack Pitzer
Asbury Park court swamped by parking tickets
Larger signs ordered to acclimate beachfront visitors to pay stations
BY NANCY SHIELDS • COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU • AUGUST 30, 2008


ASBURY PARK — City officials Friday said they will order and post larger signs 
— perhaps 
12 by 18 inches — directing people to the new beachfront pay stations at each 
intersection, where they can pay for the newly numbered parking spot they 
parked in.

Police have issued hundreds of parking tickets since Asbury Park began 
enforcing metered 
parking on the beachfront two weeks ago. The cost of a ticket for not paying to 
park is 
$26.

Smaller signs now are posted in the middle of each block, but it will take more 
to get 
people to adjust to paid parking in Asbury Park once again, officials said. 
Municipal Judge 
Mark T. Apostolou let municipal officials know that his court is being swamped 
with the 
tickets and something needs to be done.

Asbury Park has not required people to pay for parking in most places for many 
years, in 
part because the old meters broke and never were fixed.

With the revival of the beachfront and downtown, the city moved to collect 
parking 
revenue and has set up about 2,100 numbered spaces on the beachfront to be 
governed 
by the pay stations. People enter the number of their parking spot and pay 
either with 
coins, bills or a credit card. The cost is 50 cents an hour.

City officials Friday could not say how many tickets have been written in the 
two-week 
period. Anthony Nuccio, the director of social services, who is filling in for 
City Manager 
Terence Reidy while Reidy is on vacation, said he was told that several hundred 
tickets 
were written each week during that two-week period.

But an update for the full two weeks was not available, he said.

Nuccio said the city is addressing individual concerns or glitches people may 
have 
experienced operating the pay stations.

People should hold on to their receipts but do not have to put them in their 
car windows. 
Police monitor what parking spots have been paid for both on hand-held 
computers or at 
headquarters and can issue tickets when a numbered space has not been paid for 
but a 
car is parked there.

City Engineer Brian Grant is in charge of monitoring the new system and said 27 
pay 
stations are up and operating. There are five more to be installed, and Grant 
said three of 
those may be placed on the boardwalk so people can feed additional money if 
they have 
gone past their time limit. A person can pay for a parking spot at any pay 
station.

Paid parking is enforced from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Parking on Ocean Avenue is 
limited to three 
hours before a customer has to pay additional money. Parking on the east-west 
avenues 
in one block to Kingsley Street is limited to six hours at a time. Parking on 
Kingsley is 
allowed up to 12 hours at a time.

When a person wants to get additional time for a spot, they should enter the 
space 
number and the ID number on their receipt, Grant said.

The city bonded to spend about $428,000 for the 32 pay stations and is paying 
debt 
service of $55,000 per year. In future phases, the city will install the pay 
stations at other 
sections of the city, including the downtown and Main Street.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Boardwalk and Olympic Baseball in article....

2008-08-19 Thread oakdorf
Interesting commentary in this article the other day.

.The cab driver looked at my map, the Wukesong Baseball Complex circled in 
pen, and 
smiled. He nodded, said something in Chinese, and we were off. Ah, a summer 
night in 
Beijing. What could be better than Olympic baseball in the twilight smog?

Except that the cabbie took me to the air pistol range.

Okay, let me get this straight: People shooting targets like they're trying to 
win a stuffed 
giraffe on the Asbury Park boardwalk ... that can stay, but baseball has to go?

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Metal Container Shops

2008-07-19 Thread njshoregirlap

I'm going to Rant so be prepared folks!

I live in Asbury Park. Lots of good things are happening here finally.
Unfortunately I need to complain and I do that very well so I'll
refrain from whining.
Some background. I am a City Planner by education. I took many classes
on Architecture and Urban Design . The focus of 3 Senior papers in
college was Waterfront Development, so I have the credentials to complain.

I haven't printed pics yet, but who ever heard of using shipping
containers painted white as storefronts?  My God they are
hideous!!!  They dot the vacant spots between the pavillions (which
are looking great by the way)
I am not sure how much the rent is for these hideous containers
whatever it may be is too much. 

I took a walk with my boyfriend this morning to get a first hand look
at the progress.  I wanted to give the developers time to get things
rolling and be objective when I viewed the boardwalk.  I'm sorry but
whatever good feelings the improvements on the pavillions impart, they
are immediately crashed by these god awful trash boxes.  Ugh!

In a few weeks, you will have to pay to park for the boards and beach
:  50c /hr. I think patrons will need alot more to draw them to the
beach and stay while paying 50c/hr for shipping box shopping. Just a
thought.

Another criticism:  try having shops open at 7:30 am... lots of people
are on the boards, running , walking , biking .  Get some of the foot
traffic $$$.  I sure was thirsty and could have used an ice drink or
even a breakfast sandwich.  There is a restaurant at the end of the
boards that is open year round (good idea) .  

I love the miniature golf course.  It looks great and people are using
it. I'll be there next weekend!! I can't golf , but I love mini golf.
 They are still building the waterpark...can't wait for that either. 
Good things coming there.

Yes Virginia, there is a new Asbury Park. But it needs some help!!!

A David Byrne view of development

nothing But) Flowers--Talking Heads

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park ?

2008-07-14 Thread wernerapnj
100 years ago they understood planning, why not now?

( http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/10537.html )

...they wished to affirm their confidence in Chicago's future while
still contending that there were costs and even dangers in simply
letting current trends continue

The Plan expresses this belief in its first chapter when it posits
that thoughtful people agree that the age of planning was at hand. The
moment was ripe to bring order out of the chaos of rapid urban growth
through carefully considered systematic changes. It then observes that
the American city, and Chicago preeminently, is a center of industry
and traffic. This observation is the justification of the Plan's
emphasis on improving commercial facilities, transportation, traffic
flow, and general convenience. Since a productive urban labor force
required places to play and rest, the planners also believed it was
necessary to consider parks and recreational facilities. Proper design
was a vital consideration in more than a narrow functional sense. A
proud city, after all, like any self-respecting human being, has a
dignity to be maintained. Besides, good order is essential to
material advancement.
---

Note that Asbury Park was designed 40 years before the above
description. Imagine if those principles had been applied to the
Redevelopment Plan of today.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park on the MOVE

2008-07-14 Thread John Lorenzo
It has gotten too crowded TOO fast! Bikes are now banned after 12 Noon 
on the boardwalk! Not even at night or after 6PM. 6AM - 12 Noon ONLY. 
The beach was packed this past weekend even with the water being too 
rough to swim. The restaurants now in Asbury Park simply blow away 
anything in Ocean Grove - I should know - I live in Wesley Grove - 
there is not even any visitor parking around the building Saturday 
night. Some of it could be OG Pavilion shows but Moonstruck is going 
head strong - Crust  Crumble is my new pizzeria - a good pie. I have 
yet to have a bad dinner on Cookman - what is going on here ...

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park crime rate remains lower than in previous years

2008-07-13 Thread Jack Pitzer
Asbury Park crime rate remains lower than in previous years
BY NANCY SHIELDS • COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU • JULY 13, 2008

ASBURY PARK — A downturn in crime that made last year the best in the city in a 
decade is 
continuing so far this year, according to reports for the first half of 2008.

Police Chief Mark Kinmon released statistics through the end of June showing 
one murder 
compared with three at the halfway point last year. There were reports of 69 
robberies 
compared to 86 halfway through 2007, two rapes compared with six at the same 
time last 
year, and 62 aggravated assaults compared with 74 as of June 30 last year.

The reduction in homicides, if it continues, is significant, following the high 
of eight in 
2006 and six last year. The city, like many urban communities, was hit hard 
with young 
people, often gang members, shooting and killing each other.

We feel we're making a lot of progress on the gangs, Kinmon said. The county 
(Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office) continues to be a big help.

He said the increase of the city police officers to 90 has been important as 
well as 
assigning city police members to the county gang task force, the FBI's gang 
task force and 
the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force. The city police budget had a $1.75 
million increase 
this year, which included money for 14 positions added to the department in the 
past year 
and a half.

Car thefts were down to 24 from 42 reported by the end of June last year. 
Burglaries were 
about the same, at 120 so far this year.

Anytime the numbers are down, we are happy, the chief said. We've started 
strong for 
the first part of the year. We want to finish strong.

We have the right people in the right positions and we have to keep the heat 
on, said 
Deputy Mayor Jimmy Bruno. The street crimes unit, which is doing one heck of a 
job, has 
to continue. If we have the resources, we'd love to increase the police 
department even 
more.

A significant increase this year came in larcency, with 252 reports the first 
half of this year 
compared with 164 for the same period last year. Kinmon said the increase 
reflects a hot 
trend, here and elsewhere, of stealing navigation Global Positioning Systems 
(GPS) from 
cars.

We made several arrests around the beginning of May, and it seems to have 
dropped, the 
chief said.

Kinmon said city patrol officers and detectives are taking policing to a new 
level. For 
example, he said, there have been 25 driving-while-intoxicated arrests as of 
June 30, 
compared with 12 last year. And there's been an increase in traffic summonses.

At the same time, the data shows a downward trend in narcotics activity. As of 
June 30, 
there were 214 reports of drug activity compared with 273 half way through last 
year. The 
total reports of drug activity in 2007 was 515, half of the total 1,038 in 
2006, Kinmon 
said.

Narcotics arrests were up — 450 arrests compared with 405 halfway through 2007.

Simple assaults were up from 220 to 255 for the first six months, and criminal 
mischief 
was up from 276 to 310.

Disorderly conduct incidents were down from 2,003 the first half of last year, 
to 1,835.

There's a lot of work to be done and we have a long way to go but Im very 
pleased with 
the direction the department's going, Kinmon said.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park BW Dollars

2008-02-22 Thread dfsavgny
Thinking of pitching this to MM.

Asbury Park BW Dollars

Print your own money which can be spent anywhere on the boardwalk.
Stores have to give change back in the same AP currency. When you
exchange your money for AP BW currency it registers you for a weekly
drawing of say $500 (also awarded in AP BW currency). Or you can make
it daily drawings of $100. Set a minimum (say $25 converted to AP BW
dollars) for the drawing. Encourage spending on the BW and keep
dollars there.

Just watch for the counterfeiters.

Asbury Park preservationists trying to form commission
By Nancy Shields • COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU • January 29, 2008

 ASBURY PARK — Donald Sammet, the city's director of planning and
redevelopment, will speak on forming a historic preservation
commission at the Asbury Park Historical Society's annual organization
meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at the library, 500 First Ave.

Johna Karpinski, who is expected to continue as the society's
president, wants a commission to be established to help save some city
buildings under threat of demolition.

Karpinski has worked to try to save the long-vacant Metropolitan Hotel
on Asbury Avenue and the downtown Charms Building.

She said in a telephone interview that she was very encouraged that
Gary Mottola, president of investments for Madison Marquette, the
beachfront redeveloper, is going to try to save the Charms Building.

It seems as though they're really committed to moving forward, even
in this economic and real estate environment, Karpinski said.

The historical society also is sponsoring an Asbury Park memorabilia
showcase in the library's reading room.

The exhibit contains memorabilia from society trustee Don Stine's
Antic Hay book business that will be displayed in a 13-foot glass
showcase in the library room, Stine said.

There's going to be Victorian, business and rustic souvenirs, like
deer-foot letter openers, old plates, boot lace tighteners, Victorian
ceramics, clamshell purses and a sort of traveling makeup mirror,
Stine said.

For more information, call (732) 774-4590.

I thought both buildings were way beyond preservation.  Then I saw  this.  
An amazing story about the restoration of a building which was in as bad  
shape as the Metropolitan.  A Herculean task.


The Eldridge Street Synagogue on the Lower East Side is a place where  
thousands worshiped, but which time and indifference almost destroyed. We  tell 
the 
story of this landmark building that would have been destroyed had  it not 
been for the efforts of a few dedicated preservationists.

Only bad memory of the Charms Building.  At one point, it contained  the 
local offices of the IRS.  The random audit notice announced that the  name of

YES, a historic preservation commission is need for Asbury Park!

A great deal of work is needed to preserve properties here!  In September 2005 
the Asbury Park Historical Society listed two sites which needed to be saved 
(Casion/Heating Plant; Metropolitan; Charms/Elks; The Ambassador; 5th Ave 
Pavilion; Baronet, et al; Savoy; Convention Hall; Steinbach Bldg; The Jersey; 
Stone Pony; 3 houses on Webb (2 on 6th 1 on 7th); Belmont/Atlantic; 
Berkeley-Carteret; Winsor Bldg on Main  Bangs; Library Square; North AP Train 
Station; Post Office' The Brittwood; Geo Wurt's [306 8th]).

One property listed as lost on the September 2005 inventory was the Park Cinema.

The Society also need to look at the historic buildings in other parts of the 
city as well as the ones listed above.

Asbury Park couple jailed, accused of having drugs, porn around children
BY ED JOHNSON • STAFF WRITER • JANUARY 18, 2008

ASBURY PARK — An Asbury Park couple remain in the Monmouth County Jail after 
sheriff's 
officers 
charged them with endangering the welfare of their three children by possessing 
narcotics, narcotics paraphernalia, and pornography in the children's presence.

Lynette K. Solomon, 37, and Shawn D. Solomon, 42, were both arrested Thursday 
at 1254 
1/2 Washington Ave., by a team of sheriff's officers serving a warrant for 
failure to pay 
child support, said Cynthia Scott, a spokeswoman for the Monmouth County 
Sheriff.

While at the location the officers determined Lynette Solomon was also wanted 
on an 
outstanding traffic warrant from Freehold Borough, Scott said.

An arrest affidavit by Sheriff's Officer Donna Gonzalez said the officers 
determined 
narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia as well as pornography was present and 
accessible 
to the children, ages three, nine and 15.

The items were described in the arrest warrant as present and accessible to 
the children. 
The narcotics were also described as being used in the children's presence, 
according to 
the arrest warrant.

The Solomons were each also charged with possession of crack cocaine.

The couple have each been ordered held in lieu of $30,000 bail, Scott said.

The children were turned over to their grandparents and the state Division of 
Youth and 
Family Services was notified to investigate further, Scott said.

Asbury Park police chief chases down suspect
BY MICHELLE SAHN • JANUARY 11, 2008

ASBURY PARK — In October, Asbury Park Police Chief Mark Kinmon ran a marathon. 
On 
Tuesday, his run in the city was more like a sprint, but it ended with the 
chief catching a 
man wanted on warrants.

Just before 2 p.m. Tuesday, Kinmon was driving down Washington Avenue with 
Police 
Inspector Chris Van Buren when they heard a radio transmission in which 
Monmouth 
County Sheriff's Officers Randy Morgan and Roger Miller were requesting help 
from city 
police.

Morgan and Miller work in the fugitive unit, and they were attempting to take 
Brian 
Hester, 36, into custody on outstanding warrants. But the Brooklyn N.Y. man ran 
from 
them and headed to a house on the 400 block of Ridge Avenue, the chief said.

Kinmon and Van Buren were just a few blocks away, so they headed to the house.

As the sheriff's officers went inside, the chief and inspector checked the 
exterior. 
When Kinmon went to the north side of the property, Hester jumped out of a 
first floor 
window, landing on the ground in front of the chief.

Kinmon said he told the 36-year-old he was under arrest, but Hester bolted, so 
Kinmon 
chased him.

As the chief ran through the backyard, he fell over a pile of debris behind a 
tree, 
but he got back on his feet and continued to chase Hester through several 
backyards, he 
said.

Kinmon caught the Brooklyn man on the 500 block of Ridge Avenue, and then 
turned him 
over to the county sheriff's officers.

The chief suffered cuts to his left hand, arm, shoulder and knee in the fall 
during 
the foot chase. But those injuries do not compare to the way he feels after 
running the 
26.2 miles of a marathon.

I'm in much worse shape after a marathon,'' he said, laughing.

As for Hester, he was being held today in the Monmouth County Jail in Freehold 
Township, on a Monmouth County Superior Court warrant alleging he failed to 
appear in 
court on a drug charge, as well as an outstanding Asbury Park municipal court 
warrant, 
and charges of obstructing the administration of law and being a fugitive from 
justice from 
New York State, where he was wanted on a parole violation.

His total bail was set at $61,570, authorities said.

ASBURY PARK — City police Sgt. Amir Bercovicz can't find his gun and reported

when he came to work at 4 p.m. Monday, Police Chief Mark Kinmon said today.

Kinmon said Bercovicz had his gun when he left work at 10 p.m. Sunday. He 
realized it 
was missing Monday afternoon.

It's embarrassing - embarrassing for him and for us,'' Kinmon said. It is a 
vital piece of 
equipment, and we take every precauation to ensure things like this don't 
happen. We're 
doing everything we can to locate the gun and get it back. We're working with 
him to 
retrace his steps.''

Kinmon said police are entering information about the lost gun in the national 
computer 
network to let other law enforcement agencies know.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Guardian Angels chapter forms

Guardian Angels flying in for  safety

In wake of murder, Asbury Park chapter  forms

By CHELSEA  MICHELS
TOMS RIVER BUREAU  
Soon a new group will watch over the city. 
The Guardian Angels, a worldwide organization dedicated to providing and  
maintaining safety, will visit Asbury Park today to start a chapter in the city 
 
to deal with crime and safety, and help in the murder investigation of Cesar  
Torralba, who was shot outside his Sixth Avenue apartment on Christmas Eve. 
Founder Curtis Sliwa and 12 Guardian Angels will visit the site of Torralba's 
 murder today and will help patrol the streets, after receiving several 
requests  from concerned residents, according to Sliwa. 
This is the least we can do, said Sliwa, who started his group in 1979 and  
now has chapters in 102 cities and 11 countries. He said most requests came 
from  residents of Monmouth County complaining about problems on Main Street in 
Asbury  Park and Broadway in Long Branch. 
Many who asked for help are Spanish speakers who are victimized because of  
their inability to speak English and intimidated not to cooperate with the  
police, he said. 
City Manager Terence Reidy said Asbury Park welcomes the Guardian Angels and  
hopes for an effective coupling of communication and coordination. He said 
that  Chief of Police Mark Kinmon will meet with Sliwa before the Sixth Avenue  
visit. 
The Guardian Angels have done a lot of good and have been around a long  
time, Reidy said. It's important when any organization comes into town that  
they work with the officials. I trust their sincerity, and they just need to  
connect with the city, the Police Department and the Prosecutor's Office. It's  
all about coordination efforts and communication. 
There won't be any vigilantes in Asbury Park, he added. 
The group hopes to address several problems in the area, including the rising 
 juvenile gang problem, intimidation of Hispanic residents who do not speak  
English, and random, violent crimes that go unsolved, he said. 
Residents have to join and get involved, he said. It has to be local  
people who join and continue to deal with the day-to-day community. 
The volunteers can make a citizen's arrest if they witness a crime. 
First Assistant Prosecutor Peter Warshaw said there was no new information  
regarding Torralba's murder.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park police warn residents to lock their cars after break-ins

2007-12-13 Thread Jack Pitzer
ASBURY PARK — Police are warning residents to lock their cars after a string of 
vehicle 
burglaries in the city.

Thieves stole handbags and a credit card from three vehicles in various parts 
of the 
city between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Detective Capt. David Kelso said. In 
each 
instance the cars were unlocked, he added.

In an earlier incident, a car window was smashed and a GPS system was stolen 
from the car, 
Kelso said.

We're just reminding people to lock their cars. A lot of times these thieves 
are 
just looking for a car that's open and easy to get into, Kelso said. He also 
reminded people 
not to leave valuables where they can be seen in the car.

Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call Asbury Park Police at 
(732) 
502-5770 or the department's tip line at (800) 799-8280

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park zoners vote against christianity and for homosexuality

2007-10-17 Thread Kevin Brown


God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged 
natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also 
abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for 
one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received 
in themselves the due penalty for their perversion (Rom 1:26-27).
 
So even though homosexual desires feel natural, they are actually 
unnatural, because God says they are. He also calls all sexual 
involvement outside of marriage immoral. (There are 44 references to 
fornication--sexual immorality--in the Bible.) Therefore, any form of 
homosexual activity, whether a one-night stand or a long-term 
monogamous relationship, is by definition immoral--just as any abuse of 
heterosexuality outside of marriage is immoral.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park police looking for man who assaulted and robbed city resident

2007-10-02 Thread Hinge
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 10/2/07

ASBURY PARK — A robber pulled a gun on a city man, struck him in the head and 
stole 
$10 and a set of keys, police said.

Around 10:30 p.m. Friday, the 48-year-old victim was on the 500 block of Grand 
Avenue 
when the robber approached him and asked him for a light, police said.

When the victim pulled out his cigarette lighter, the robber grabbed his arm 
and then 
pulled out a revolver, said Capt. David Kelso.

The victim grabbed the gun and wrestled with the robber, but the thief punched 
victim in 
the jaw, said Kelso.

The victim fell down, but wrapped his legs around the robber and continued to 
wrestle 
with him.

That's when the robber struck the victim on the head with the gun several 
times, then 
reached into the victim's pants pocket and stole $10 and a set of keys, said 
Kelso.

The robber broke free of the victim's grasp and he ran way, heading north on 
Grand 
Avenue, toward Library Park.

The victim was treated at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune for 
abrasions.

The robber was described as a black man, who was about 25- to 27 years old, 
wearing a 
black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and two baseball caps -- a black and 
yellow hat with 
the letter P on the front, and a red, white and blue Giants cap.

Officer Chenice Wesley responded to the scene, while Detective Steven Ramseur 
is 
handling the follow-up investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call 
Ramseur at 
(732) 502-4587 or the department's tip line at 1-800-799-8280.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park schools get fiscal monitor

STATE DECISION: Based on repeated problems in audits
Asbury Park schools get fiscal monitor
Posted by the _Asbury Park Press_ (http://www.app.com/)  on  09/26/07
BY _NANCY SHIELDS_ (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
COASTAL MONMOUTH  BUREAU _Post  Comment _ 
(http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20070926Category=NEWSArtNo=709260408SectionCat=NEWS01Template=p
rintart#comments)  
ASBURY PARK — A state Department of Education financial monitor will soon be  
working in the city's school district, and will exercise veto power, if  
necessary, over the administration and school board to improve financial  
operations. 
Repeated fiscal problems over the years triggered the state's decision,  
announced Tuesday, which was made under the School District Fiscal  
Accountability 
Act, known as the Willingboro Act. 
Asbury Park will be joining Willingboro, Camden, Paterson, Irvington and  
Pleasantville in having such oversight. The monitor arrangements have replaced 
a  
previous state initiative of taking over the running of poorly performing  
districts. Under the new system, the local school board remains intact but its  
financial decisions need the monitor's approval. 
Once the monitor is in, the state has its presence in the district, the  
monitor has a presence and looks at all of the things happening there, Deputy  
Education Commissioner Willa Spicer said. It is the conclusion that the state  
needs a presence in that district. 
The district has had a state intervention team working with school  
administrators, but that team did not have the authority of a fiscal monitor.  
The 
district is working to address areas that need to be improved under a new  
monitoring method called the Quality Single Accountability Continuum, or  QSAC. 
But officials said the move to have direct control for some period of time  
over the district's finances is not connected to QSAC. Katherine Attwood, the  
state assistant commissioner for finance, cited repeated or serious problems  
found in the district's audits. 
Asbury Park's educational system has been in severe distress for at least a  
decade. During the past year, the school district struggled with acting  
superintendents coming and going while current Schools Superintendent Antonio  
Lewis remains suspended with pay for more than a year. 
The infighting in the district continues over jobs — from administrators on  
all levels to coaching jobs. 
Board member pleased 
It's about time, Board of Education member Garrett Giberson said of the  
state monitor coming in. It's absolutely great and something that's long  
overdue. I think the monitor will be able to lead board members in the right  
direction. 
Let's face the facts, Giberson said. Our administration is in chaos, and  
it all centers around the investigation of the current superintendent. . . . 
We  are literally being held hostage. 
Before the board suspended Lewis right just prior to classes beginning last  
September, he had started to face opposition from the still relatively new  
business administrator, Aiman Mahmoud, who was prepared to leave if Lewis  
stayed. 
Mahmoud seems to know what he's doing, Giberson said. He's our money man,  
a pretty savvy guy when it comes to finances in the district. What messes 
he's  cleaning up from the past is another story. We all know that messes can 
linger.  It takes a while to straighten out. 
Board kept in dark 
Robert DiSanto, board president, said he was concerned that the decision to  
send in a monitor had not been discussed with the board. 
We were completely in the dark regarding this, DiSanto said. Nobody's  
communicated this to us at all. . . . We are making changes best we can to make 
 
it best for our district. 
Keisha Frazier, a 32-year-old parent with five children in the school system, 
 said she welcomes the state's help. 
A monitor would make sure everything's going smoothly and the kids are being 
 taught what they're supposed to be taught, she  said.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park: Ignore the Intimidation

2007-09-16 Thread Mario

Asbury Park: Don't fall for this scenario. Pretexts, grandiose
claims, exaggeration, intimidation

Intimidating Cites, Zoning Boards et al.

http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hamilton/20061130.html
http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hamilton/20061130.html

Excerpts (but the full text at link above is eye opening):


In local property disputes, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized
Persons Act (RLUIPA) has ushered in the era of the three-ring circus.
What is missing in all three rings is integrity.

The First Sideshow: A Fraternity Deems Itself Apostles of Peace and
Unity

RLUIPA licenses religious landowners to trump zoning laws, even when the
religious practice that is substantially burdened is not central to
the religion at issue. In other words, any precept that is even remotely
related to some religious belief of some kind can trigger RLUIPA
protection….

While the government may not challenge the truth of religious beliefs,
it may challenge the sincerity of the claimant. Sincerity challenges are
part and parcel of standard free exercise doctrine, so there is plenty
of precedent for such a challenge.… nothing more than a pretext
intended to circumvent valid zoning rules ….

If the religion is indeed proven to be a pretext, then the
constitutional right to the free exercise of religion is not implicated,
and the rule of law applies.

The Second Ring: Religious Landowners' Organizations Intimidate Zoning
Officials

In the second ring of our RLUIPA circus, we have towns and cities being
terrorized by overzealous organizations representing religious
landowners. Even before litigation is filed, such organizations are
making grandiose claims about their win record and their proven
ability to drain city resources through RLUIPA's attorneys' fees
provisions.

Local officials and governments, though, need to take a deep breath
before they permit themselves to be cowed by such tactics. Recently, in
Tiburon, CA, the Becket Fund sent just such a letter, intended to
intimidate the Town Council into permitting a local, established
synagogue to put on an ambitious addition in a tightly-plotted
residential neighborhood.

Towns and cities need to read such letters carefully. For example, the
letter threatens attorneys fees, implying they could be ruinous, by
offering the following case citation, among others: Congregation Kol Ami
v. Abington Township …..

the Becket Fund charged that there was anti-Semitism in the denial of
the synagogue's original, expansive proposal. Their website, trying to
prove discrimination, went on to claim that this was the only synagogue
in Marin County, which is patently untrue….

Derek Gaubatz, Director of Litigation for the Becket Fund for Religious
Liberty, applauds the ruling, saying Make no mistake, this was a huge
victory for the congregation and the First Amendment in Tiburon.

This sort of public relations hyperbole, combined with the Becket Fund's
predilection to count settlements (which always include a disavowal of
liability by the defendants) as victories, makes this second ring of
our circus a hazard for all towns, cities, and their communities.….

The Third Ring: Attempts to Invoke RLUIPA to Protect Non-Religious Land
Uses

…. Integrity plays a role here as well. RLUIPA is an invitation to
exaggerate or fudge actual building needs, but religious leaders -
regardless of the legal advice they receive - need to consult their own
consciences before unleashing their lawyers.

So who do we blame for this three-ring circus, which is destroying
relationships and neighborhoods? Congress. You cannot blame the
religious entities, because they are simply taking what Congress gave
them. But you can certainly take Congress to task for never considering
the needs of residential neighbors abutting religious land users with
ambitious expansion plans or nonreligious landowners with lively
imaginations.

the Rule of Law: Books: Marci A. Hamilton,Edward R. Becker
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0521853044/findlaw-20

A Balanced Look at Righting Judicial Incompetence

Hamilton isn't on a crusade against religion, religious organizations,
or religious people….She is opposed to using religious freedom as
justification for destroying entire neighborhoods. She is opposed to
using religious freedom to justify forcing our prisons to spend
millions of dollars accommodating dozens of different religious meal
restrictions, religious reading requirements, and the demands of new
religions formed for the express purpose of gaming the system. Buy
this book for no other reason than to read the lists of lunacy on page
157 - 161, and you have spent your money well.



[AsburyPark] Asbury Park - Why a Big Name or Offices are needed

2007-09-15 Thread oakdorf
1. Raff's and their tomato basil soup. Not a national but like each place in 
town, brings in a 
whole nother set of folks. And FAMILIES. 
2. Daytime - you need OFFICE WORKERS in downtown during the day. 10 people 
walking 
around isn't enough.  Take Dan's idea and if he has someone, rework muni plaza 
with CITY 
Office, BOE Offices (neat in the same place), retail and OFFICE space. 
3. NATIONAL retail. IF there is one retailer or lunch guy in AP that doesn't 
want a national 
retailer in, then they need a better idea. One retailer could do more for 
marketing the 
business district then Jewell or any marketing would be able to do. Now the 
question would 
be where could they go?? Well, it's a shame Raff's is where it is. So it will 
be up to MM to 
make it work -all the way into cookman. That includes Wesley Phase II/III to 
fill in the gap. 
That should be done now, during the slump to bring cookman and wesley 
together. If it 
means removing the MK and Phoneix, then let her go. Plant grass and mulch it 
or fence it 
off.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park - The focus of this group

2007-09-14 Thread Hinge
I joined this group because I wanted to talk about Asbury Park, and learn more 
about the city, 
it's citizens, it's past, and it's future.
In the past year, it's been fairly obvious that the cities administration, 
Asbury Partners and 
Madison Marquette visit this group, and upon occasion the things discussed here 
actually 
have an effect on the city.
We've made friends, we've helped people, and in a small way, we've even helped 
the city.
To overwhelm this board with discussions that have nothing to do with the city 
undermines 
the group itself. That's why I made the simple suggestion that we create a 
group so that local 
people can discuss other things, like politics, and religion.
Why is that a bad thing? Our country and media is already overwhelmed with 
political 
discussions etc. My only desire was to shift the focus of the group back to the 
reason it 
exists in the first place. If anybody is angered or offended by that desire, I 
apologize.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park R R R R

2007-09-14 Thread Kevin Brown
 
 
Religion:
Asbury Park was founded in 1870, when the mile-long, untouched 
beachfront was purchased for $90,000 by James Bradley, a devout 
Methodist, who had been persuaded to buy the property as a buffer 
zone between the pious seaside tent city of Ocean Grove, NJ and its 
neighbor to the north, Long Branch, where you could indulge in 
dancing, drinking, gambling, and horse racing. Bradley had made his 
fortune as a brush manufacturer in New York City, and thought he 
could make Asbury Park into a successful enterprise as well, by 
attracting upscale, Protestant tourists with wholesome amusements and 
fresh saltwater air. He named his seaside utopia after Bishop Francis 
Asbury, the founder of the Methodist Church, but added the Park to 
denote it as a place for fun. It's one of the inherent contradictions 
that has characterized Asbury Park ever since.

Real Estate:
James Bradley ran his town more like a kingdom than a city; he 
actually owned the boardwalk until 1905, and would personally patrol 
the beach to ensure that visitors were attired in suitable bathing 
costumes (no skin showing) and behaving properly (no alcohol, 
dancing, or public displays of affection.) Bradley donated prime 
tracts of real estate to Protestant churches, and he insisted on wide 
boulevards, multiple parks, and modern sanitation, which gave it a 
distinctively charming scale. It is still a city where you can walk 
everywhere and see the ocean from blocks away. Now, real estate 
developers are planning to build high rise residential condominiums 
along the beach front, and it's an open question as to whether Asbury 
Park will retain its jewel-box quality for much longer.

Race:
Like most American cities, Asbury Park was segregated by race and 
class well into the 1960s. From the beginning, blacks and immigrants 
were relegated to their own district, in a separate, shadow city 
quite literally across the tracks. There, on the West Side, there 
were stores, restaurants, shopping – everything needed for an 
existence – and one of the most exciting music scenes on the Jersey 
Shore. Springwood Avenue is where ragtime was first heard in Asbury 
Park; where blues and jazz musicians flocked to hear and play the 
latest hot sounds, and where, during the golden age of Swing and 
Rhythm  Blues, there was a club on every block. Those clubs exist 
now only as memories, as nearly all the businesses and homes on the 
West Side were burned out and destroyed when riots swept through in 
1970. To learn more about the artist who created the Springwood

Ragtime:
At the turn of the century, ragtime was sweeping the country. It was 
irresistible music, this hybrid of African-American syncopation and 
European melodies. But ragtime was a forbidden taste to the upright 
Victorian tourists who vacationed in Asbury Park – it was associated 
with saloons and dance halls, after all, and was considered to be 
dangerous to one's health. But when a young trombone virtuoso and 
composer named Arthur Pryor introduced ragtime to John Philip Sousa, 
the new music began to acquire a patina of respectability. Pryor 
later formed his own band and made Asbury Park his home base. 
Thousands of visitors flocked to the band shell every summer to hear 
Pryor and his band, who became hugely famous as performers, and also 
recording artists. While Pryor is little known today, he was truly 
Asbury Park's first musical superstar.

Description
A moderated group for discussions  (reasonably) limited to Asbury Park, New

be 
removed. While an  attempt will be made to avoid censorship, truly

being removed, 
except for  bouncing in which case removal will be automatic. By joining this 
group  you agree to these terms.


To date only 32 members.
 
I would prefer a moderated group requiring profiles -- i.e., no anonymous  
postings.
 
Looks like that doesn't appeal to most folks.

have an effect on the city.
We've made friends, we've  helped people, and in a small way, we've even 
helped the city.
To overwhelm  this board with discussions that have nothing to do with the 
city undermines  
the group itself. That's why I made the simple suggestion that we create a  
group so that local 
people can discuss other things, like politics, and  religion.
Why is that a bad thing? Our country and media is already  overwhelmed with 
political 
discussions etc. My only desire was to shift  the focus of the group back to 
the reason it 
exists in the first place. If  anybody is angered or offended by that desire, 
I  apologize.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Bid Rig defendant pleas guilty

Vinnie Baker faces up to 20 years in prison
Posted by the _Asbury Park Press_ (http://www.app.com/)  on  09/12/07

STAFF WRITER 
NEWARK - Vincent E. Vinny'' Baker, the former owner of an Asbury Park  
restaurant, 
pleaded guilty today to laundering $15,000 he received from an  FBI operative 
during 
Operation Bid Rig,'' an undercover sting operation  that resulted in 
corruption 
charges against more than 20 public  officials.

Baker, 63, told U.S District Court Judge Jose L. Linares that  he received 
the 
cash in May and June 2001 from Robert Duke'' Steffer, the  FBI's cooperating 
witness who was posing as a demolition contractor. In  return for the cash, 
Baker 
said today I issued (Steffer) a check on two  occasions for $6,750 each,'' 
for a 
total of $13,500. The difference of  $1,500 was Baker's fee'' for laundering 
the 
cash.

In exchange for  his plea, the U.S. Attorney's Office will dismiss bribery 
charges against  Baker upon his sentencing. Judge Linares set sentencing for 
Dec. 
19. Baker  faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

With that in mind...   I'll throw out a little ad for a show we're  
putting on this Sunday in Asbury Park.

It's called Twisted Covers and it features local artists covering a  
pair of tunes by a particular artist and throwing in one of their  
originals as well.  This Sunday we are spotlighting the career of  
Bruce Springsteen.  We have a tremendous lineup that will run through  
songs from Bruce to help celebrate his birthday a week early.

The show is free and runs from 6pm to 9pm at the Twisted Tree Cafe on  
Cookman Avenue.

If you ever wanted to see some of the best performers in the local  
area, this is a great place to start.

Hi Group Members,

Here's a Back to School project we can all get behind, I hope. 
Tee Lesinski (Barbara's sister) is spearheading this effort and has
asked that I pass this along to all the folks I know.  If you'd like
to help and would like to drop some of these items off at her porch,
please call her (732-775-5246) or e-mail her ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in
advance.  She can even arrange pick-up if you prefer.  Let's all help
to get this school year off to a really positive start.  Thanks!
 
 Frank D'Alessandro

Here's Tee's message: 

Hello everyone,

The Community Development Department/City of Asbury Park is hosting
their 3rd Annual Back to School Block Party, Saturday August 25th.  
Along with fun, food and music, at the end of the event they hand out
1,000 book bags to the children.
In speaking with Denise Brown, one of the organizers, I asked if they
have school supplies to put into each bag.  They do supply pencils.
The day to prepare the book bags is a week before the event,  that's
Saturday, August 18th.
So I ask all of you, can 1,000 book bags be supplied with supplies in
18 days ? ( list below)
I know it is a huge task, but it is possible.  
If anyone is interested in joining me let me know, email me or call me
at 732-775-5246.

Thank you, Tee
 
PS.  You can also call Denise Brown, Department of Community

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Images at Wikipedia

Asbury Park Images at Wikipedia

1. Just some observations I've made recently. Reuters reports that
Wikipedia is now the top online news and information destination,
according to Nielsen//NetRatings. Online encyclopedia Wikipedia has
added about 20 million unique monthly visitors in the past year. In May,
Wikipedia had 46.8 million unique visitors, up 72 percent from June
2006, NetRatings said. Wikipedia also has finished on top of the news
and information category every month this year -- ranking ahead of
Landmark Communications' Weather Channel site by an increasing margin --
topping out with a disparity of about 10 million visitors in May.

2. As I understand it, the rank of results at Google is based on what
sites users are visiting. Right now, a search for  Asbury Park
will show Wikipedia ranked as number 3 or 4 out of approximately
2,000,000 hits.

3. Here is the main entry about our city: Click here: Asbury Park, New
Jersey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbury_Park%2C_New_Jersey  Overall, not
fully representative of The Rising of Asbury Rising.

4. Here are the current comments at the talk page for that
entry at Wikipedia: Click here: Talk:Asbury Park, New Jersey -
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asbury_Park%2C_New_Jersey

===

Talk: Asbury Park, New Jersey, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Negativity

Is it just me or do the photos in this suggest a lot of negativity?
Crumbling, dilapidated, vacant these are all used in the captions
of the photos and suggest the demise of the town. However, the article
doesn't talk about a decline and, instead, focuses on redevelopment.
What are the views on this? The photos seem to suggest one point of view
(that Asbury Park's a piece of crap [pardon the French]) and the article
suggests another (Asbury Park: Getting' better every day). Thoughts? 12
January 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree-- the same thoughts passed through my head as I read it.
Perhaps some new photos are in order? 17:56, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

have you ever been there?

talk it up all you want, this city is positively terrifying.

=

I'm hoping (suggesting) that the powers that be* have some
content and images that more accurately reflect our progress at this
time. Various news sources, marketing, and real estate interests have
recently published many terrific images (E.g., Paramount Theater
renovations, the new Hobo's, parades, et al.) They show us in a more
positive light than what you'll see there now: the old
Beirut-by-the-Sea stuff.

It is not very difficult to edit a Wikipedia article or comment on the
talk or discussion pages. Much easier, less time and effort than it took
to carry out this year's a fantastic Road Trip event.

Hoping that the professionals* with expertise in this area might add
this to their To Do Lists.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Police investigating shooting of 17-year-old girl

2007-05-16 Thread Hinge
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 05/16/07

ASBURY PARK — Police are investigating the shooting of a 17-year-old city girl 
who was 
hit by a bullet Monday as she sat in the back seat of a vehicle, authorities 
said.

The girl, whose name was not released, was still in the hospital Tuesday, but 
her 
injuries were not considered life threatening, police said.

Around 9:15 p.m. Monday, the girl was in the back seat of a vehicle that was 
also 
occupied by two other people. The driver pulled out of the parking lot of the 
McDonald's 
restaurant on Main Street and turned left onto Sixth Avenue, police said. As 
they headed 
east on the 800 block of Sixth Avenue, shots were fired into the vehicle, said 
Capt. David 
Kelso.

The girl was struck in the shoulder, he said. Neither the driver nor the 
front-seat 
passenger was hit, Kelso said.

Police are still trying to determine if the bullets were fired by someone who 
was 
standing on the street or who was in another vehicle.

The investigation is being handled by city Detectives April Bird and Terry 
Williams, along with Detective Louis Zuppa of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's 
Office.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at (732) 502-5770 or the city's 
tip 
line at 1-800-799-828

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park BOE Election

2007-04-17 Thread asburycheech
Dear Group Members,

Thanks to all of the Asbury Park residents who voted in the Board
of Ed election.  As you know there were five seats in contention, and
those winning were Garrett Giberson, Barbara Lesinski, Tom Pivinski,
Adrienne Sanders, and myself.  No matter whom you voted for, I am
deeply appreciative of all those who participated in the democratic
process.  I am also grateful for the hard work of APAC which resulted
in such an excellent showing.  Marie Castro, a really terrific lady,
came in fourth out of the eight people (or nine if count the candidate
who ran as a write-in) who ran for a three-year term.  Mrs. Sanders
ran unopposed, although there were reportedly several write-in votes
cast in opposition, including at least one for Sanjaya!  Thanks again!

A  photographer's daughter preserved her father's archive of hundreds of 
black and  white negatives. The Images are of a media neglected population of 
people living  in Asbury Park, New Jersey's West Side. She shares her memories 
about the people  and places captured in the photographs that were taken almost 
seventy years ago.  

The Author/Photographer Madonna Carter Jackson has selected over 200  
photographs that document the varied influences, innumerous contributions of  
social, 
civic, and community pride. You will see an amazing visual display of  
pictures from the 1940's through 1980, some of streets and avenues that no  
longer 
exist in the one square mile town on the Jersey coast. Readers of all  ages 
will enjoy and relate to the reminiscing and will without a doubt, have  
memories 
of their own sparked by the display of nostalgia regardless of where  they 
live. African American's sought to find a better life during this period,  and 
you will be able to see life being lived lovely through this pictorial  journey 
as seen through the camera lens of Joseph A. Carter, Sr. (1917-1980)

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park Bike Pedaler - Worth Quoting

2007-02-19 Thread dfsavgny
One learns quickly that when merchants are constantly endangered and 
harassed by the community they serve, that's just the way it is (sort 
of a: what did you expect, it's Asbury? attitude); but shake up a 
council member, and now we have a problem!

It should be noted that the climate for this gang to exude it's mayhem 
was set by the fact that the lights on the boardwalk were out for 
several blocks; not to mention that the constant battle between the 
partners and the city certainly played a hand in the lack of (city 
provided) security on the boardwalk (controlled by the partners; with 
their own ongoing lack of proper security). I don't know if it's the 
city's or the partners' responsibility to light the boardwalk, but I 
lost my life savings as a result of their failure to do so for a few 
hours. As a pioneering merchant, caught in the middle of their 
differences, one's safety and business potential are seriously 
compromised.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park police seek two robbers

2007-01-17 Thread Hinge
Another incident also occured last night. My next door neighbor observed a man 
getting 
into her car while she was walking her dog. She confronted him, he claimed 
sorry, wrong 
car and fled the scene.

ASBURY PARK: Police are searching for the two robbers who stole cash and a cell 
phone 
from a city man inside the stairwell of an apartment building, authorities said.

About 7:20 p.m. Sunday, the 30-year-old victim was walking down the first-floor 
stairwell 
at the Miramar Apartments building on Webb Street, Lt. David Kelso said.

Two men approached him, and one placed a gun to his head and took $170 from the 
victim's pants pocket, police said.

The robbers then began to leave, but as the victim removed his cell phone from 
his 
pocket, the armed robber snatched it from him, Kelso said.

The robbers left the apartment complex on bicycles, police said.

One robber was described as tall and the other was shorter, both were around 18 
or 19 
years old and wore black hooded sweat shirts and black baggy pants, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Terry Williams at (732) 
502-5770 or the 
department's tip line at 1-800-799-8280.
