RE: [AsburyPark] Re: Recreation
Actually when I was a kid in Long Branch I was our block's pogo stick champion! The sad thing is now kids never go out to play---Every night we played dodge ball, hit the bat, hide and seek, jingle jump or had handmade go karts with no brakes we would ride to the bottom of the hill. That was such great fun! After walking to St Michaels Church on Sunday we would go to Takanassee Lake and with a stick, string, cork and a safety pin look for worms so we could spend the day fishing! Other days we would stick our little thumbs out and secretly hitchike to the Long Branch Boardwalk to play pinball. Sometimes we would explore the grounds of monmouth College or ride our bikes to Elberon Train Station for candy. I have such great memories of those days!No matter where we were the one important thing was Never Be Late For Dinner or you were in big trouble!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: recreation
That money did not come from charitable donations. Also the simple fact some children can't afford to pay the beach admission price and the distance and dangerous highways they would have to travel to get to the beach. The waterpark is still not enough recreation. It's just a step in the right direction. - Original Message From: wernerapnj [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 1:51:09 PM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: recreation --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: find all those tax dollars and all that charity money for all those programs in AP.

Tell that to the kids who enjoyed the facility during the hot summer days. The money was spent and nothing can be done.

That amount of money could have endowed a recreation program including transportation. Or several facilities could have been built to serve many more children. Its not about the Park its about the value received for the money spent. Werner Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: recreation
I guess it would be better not to waste it on a recreation water park when the kids can hang out on the streets and find another form of entertainment like drugs and gangs, then we can waste more public funds building more jails with revolving doors where the kids can go and learn bigger and better forms of entertainment - Original Message From: wernerapnj [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 3:35:06 PM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: recreation --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, Allan Peterson nnjallans1@ ... wrote: Tell that to the kids who enjoyed the facility during the hot summer days.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: recreation
If that is the case, we got an 800,000 water park for only 400,000. Not bad. The money is spent why cry over it now? Unless one is involved in water park construction or knows there were multiple bids and the lowest was not selected for a reason, why complain? I understand getting the most for the money but there must be decisions being made today that could be voted on and changed. - Original Message From: justifiedright [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 5:06:42 PM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: recreation Jack I'm tryig to remember back, so don't take this as a rock solid account. I remember specifically the state coming up with the second $400K if we put up the first half. As to the first half, I don't know if that was acutally Asbury's money either, or money we got from some other grant. Recollection fuzzy. I recall there was a use it or lose it date connected to the money, but again I don't remember for which half that was. I am certain though that AT LEAST half of it was state money, which we had to use or lose. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, Hinge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Houston, we have a problem... --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, wernerapnj wernerapnj@ wrote: --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, wernerapnj wernerapnj@ wrote: Do you make the most of your funds or do you waste it?

In this post, you are lying. Terribly I might add, since your lies are so obvious. Let's take a look. You say: Now those who think that recreation has no place at the table (Tommy, Allan)... Huge lie. The criticism leveled was that recreation is not an appropriate response to a shooting. No one said it doesn't have a place at the table. You're lying about Allan and me. Give Allen an apology - I don't want one. Not that I owe you any proof of that, but while you sit on your arse crying on this board, I've been assisting Van Buran with the PAL boxing program. That's recreation, but I'm not going to claim that program is a proper response to a shooting. Keady exploited shootings by asking for money for his pet projects right as the shootings occurred. Disgraceful. You didn't see Van Buren and me do that. Recreation is not what prevents a scumbag from shooting. Police action is. Then you say this... can disagree with the APPD on this. Take them to task as you did JK. ...And you paste this from the press: Pugh died at a time when police, the city and some volunteer "groups have strengthened programs for city youth — from biddy basketball to boot camp to swimming and Police Explorers."We think we're taking a lot of positive steps," said police Inspector Chris Van Buren. That's Chris agreeing with me. Anyone who made it past remedial reading in a Brooklyn grammer school can see that. He is telling the press not only do we have recrecation - we've strenghened it. Yet the shooting still happened. He is taking my postion, not Keady's postion. So you're lying about Van Buren. Next to that, you posted this: But the recent gun violence reflects the lack of programs available the past two decades for the older teenagers and young adults, whose formative years often became shaped by struggling schools, few job opportunities and little recreation. You were trying to pawn that statement off on Chris Van Buren. That's you lying again. That quote was Press reporter's opinion, disagreeing with Chris. Now, I could have written this whole post without calling you I liar. I could have said either I disagree or you are mistaken. I decided to go your way. Stop lying. __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Asbury park nj real estate United state flag Asbury park nj Asbury park real estate United state travel Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Recreation
Dan's quote: "Tell Allan not to hold his breath. I only apologize when I am wrong." then in this message you say you "should not have placed me in that camp". As far as the tourism I asked if there was a plan? All I wanted to know if the 1% goal was just somthing said or was there action. As far as meeting Keady to speak about the issues, that was an off list email that he had sent to me. How and why is this of your concern - Original Message From: dfsavgny [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.comSent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 12:48:58 PMSubject: [AsburyPark] Re: Recreation --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, Allan Peterson nnjallans1@ ... wrote: Dan, Larry Fishman is not the only asshole (your words). You can twist this anyway you want but the fact is I did not say there was "no place" for recreation.You're right, you did not say that so I should have not put you in that camp. But let's be honest, you're on Keady a few days ago about tourism plans. Then you pick up the recreation bit. I've already proved in the past what I perceive as your bias to Asbury Radio. It's no big deal. You can feel whatever way you want and you can say it. And I or anyone else can call you on it.Have you taken Keady up on his offer to speak with you? You will get more answers about his plans and thoughts from him than from this forum. At least you will get HIS answers instead of Tommy's version. You may not like them but you will get them. BTW, if you should be tempted to tell me to follow my own advice about contacting council members I have criticized here, I could wallpaper 20 houses in AP with unanswered emails and letters I have sent them. __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Asbury park nj real estate United state flag Asbury park nj Asbury park real estate United state travel Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Recreation-Dan's lying
[EMAIL PROTECTED], In reference to your comment: I wouldn't disagree with someone just because they are affiliated with the Democrat party. I look at what they stand for. There are some Dems I like. Can you cite any specific posts or columns to support that? In my column it's not the rank and file Dem who goes to work everyday and loves his country that I write about. I often make that distinction in my column. So, you know who loves his country and who doesn't, eh? Can you cite any specific posts or columns where you make that distinction? You'e Decider #2 I guess. Deciding who's a patriot and who's not. I take on the extremists on the far left. Extremists?For starters:Like John Murtha who joined the Marine Corps in 1952, then volunteered and served again in Vietnam, who opposes abortion, and is rated A+ by the National Rifle Association?You blasted him with that simplistic mantra of "Cut and Run!" Will this week's column accuse Kevin Tillman now of wanting to "cut and run." If these are extremists, then Keady's in good company. When's that column coming out where you'll recommend, as you did me, to read books by that "bomb the Supreme Court" gal, Coulter? __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Asbury park nj real estate United state flag Asbury park nj Asbury park real estate United state travel Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
