[AsburyPark] Re: APPress, in Da Hood
-Sorry, I haven't been here long enough to know that. Lived here 13, Neptune, 20 and So. Belmar 1-1/2 yrs, but 35 here in Monmouth County. Since Asbury is not going to do it, I think that a group of us should start a center or school where children of color and other, can come and learn about themselves. It does no good to sit here and type out these diatribes. It can begin with one! A journey of a thousand miles begins with 1 step. If you'd like, we can talk about it. I'm not for blaming anyone, because when we come together, we make a difference! I know the young lady, that is trying to get some peace in her neighborhood. I knew her as a kid, growing up in Neptune. Life deals you a hand. It's how you play your hand, that decides the winner. I get so sick of hearing people complain, rather than act. I don't mean you. There aren't enough around, like you, who care, but if we come together and give those kids a couple of hours a week, with something to look forward to, we can make a difference.

[AsburyPark] Re: APPress, in Da Hood
In 35 years, I don't remember that corner, ever being totally empty, except in a hard blowing rain, or a blizzard and since I have to pass that corner from time to time, it's disgraceful, that parents have to be intimidated, if they speak out. It's really sad, that so much effort, is being spent on redevelopment, of the boardwalk, when you've had an epidemic, right on that corner. When youths have to resort to selling drugs, rather than working at a regular job, there's something wrong, with the system. The rationale, is why work for$5.25, when you can rake in, as much as the market will bear? Funny thing, is you seldom see a patrol car, there. I'm not condoning the sale or use of illegal drugs, just wondering, how the system failed these kids. I read that the school board had to cut back on programs. Why is Asbury Park, with all of its' problems, shortchanged? When the education budgets of other districts seem to be making it, why isn't Asbury Park? Doesn't the Board, employ an Attorney? If so, what does the Attorney do? Who makes up the budget? Why isn't this district, up to stuff? Not blaming the board, just wondering! Why can't Asbury Park keep a high school principal? Why are saleries, for Principals and Superintendant, so high? I remember when the President of the United states only received, $200,000 a year? Is it me? Does anybody know? I know that minority children, are suffering, from a lack of caring, no trade schools, to steer under-employed youth, etc. I don't see the military, as a way to avoid poverty, with this endless war going on. The rich, send the poor to fight wars, they themselves wouldn't suit up for, wear flag lapel pins and call themselves Patriots and when you disagree with them, YOU become a threat and to them, a terrorist, just for disagreeing. There's a whole lot of desk-hawks out there, so keep on supporting, whatever it is you support. You strap a uniform on poor black and white youths, cheer them on to the front and when they come back in body bags, or lame for life, you avert your gaze away from them, so no, the military, is not the way. These kids, can learn how to be electricians, plumber's, carpenters, chefs, or any myriad of alternate professions. Whatever hapened to that Jobs program that the council wrote a resolution for? Swept under the rug? I don't read or hear anything about it, so do citizens have to hold their feet to the fire? Inquiring minds want to know! Where's that UEZ money? Isn't that what it's for? Jim Keady is only one person but he IS making a difference! Too bad, others don't see our children as the prioity they ARE! Asbury Park will continue to have the BAD rep, they've carried, at the expense of other kids, who DO make it! I KNOW that Asbury Park kids, are good kids.
