AUG 21 - DEVELOPMENT ON WESLEY LAKE

Four members of Citizens for Wesley Lake and Brian Hegarty, president of the Shark River Cleanup Coalition, chat with a representative of Kushner Companies, the developer planning to build up to 740 condos and townhouses on Asbury Park's border with Ocean Grove. Kushner has no one available for the show, but has agreed to answer written questions. We've posed them to Paramount as well. When we receive the answers, we will also post them here. Listen to this show now

Questions for the developers:
1. According to Storm Water Center.net, 67% of contractors are out of compliance with regulations. Non point pollution such as run off from lawns and impervious surfaces is the number one degrader of water quality in NJ. The pending CAFRA application drainage plan calls for 17 runoff outlets: 9 into Wesley, 6 into Deal, and 4 into Sunset Lake. We can’t find any references in the plan or CAFRA application that refer any filtering devices for these outlet points. We of course would hope to see references to state-of-the-art filtration devices. Would Kushner (and Paramount) be willing to put in storm septors or Vortechnics units at each of its runoff outlets?

If yes, do the developers plan to file these plans with the Freehold Soil Conservation District prior to breaking ground?

If no, to either part, please explain your justification…

2. Kushner’s representative, Matt Sprung, said there would be no non-point pollution from the roofs. Such drainage from roofs – including pigeon and other wild life excrement - is a major concern in this area.

What about Kushner’s roof designs will keep this effluent from reaching Wesley Lake?

High fecal coliform counts in Wesley Lake, would eventually end up in the ocean closing our bathing beaches, which is happening right now in Wreck Pond, in Spring Lake. Will this run off end up closing our beaches? What are Kushner and Paramount doing now to ensure that we’re not getting into the same situation?

3. Added lawns pesticides and fertilizers down storm drains into lake, causing nutrient loading in the water body, algae blooms, additional sedimentation and decreased levels of dissolved oxygen. Are Kushner and Paramount willing to put in environmentally friendly landscaping? If yes, will you let us help with the design? If no, please explain your justification.

4. Even to the casual observer, Wesley Lake’s bulkheads are busting at the seams and Deal Lake’s are in need of repair as well. Violent vibrations caused by compaction, a natural part of construction, would further stress these bulkheads. Would Kushner and Paramount Homes be willing to set up a fund now to help restore these lakes?

July 24, 2003 - Justice Deferred - The Weldon Mystique

and Bob is Back!!  "Ask Bob" Stevens Returns from Hilton Head to tell us all about 'his summer vacation'.

Justice Deferred -Listen now - The Weldon Mystique - For the 5th time since admitting to 3 counts of extortion, former mayor of Ocean Twp & City Manager of AP, Terrance Weldon, has beaten the odds: His July 22 Sentencing was Put off till September. [Note: as of 1/22 Weldon is still a free man.] Ironic for a man who once prided himself on daring exploits. Is it the ultimate in brinksmanship?  In the same span of time that Wall St execs have been exposed and carted off to jail, Weldon still shops and dines enjoying his pension, his $67,000 unused vacation/ sick pay and his freedom.-  -    Who is Terry Weldon? 9 months after pleading guilty to extortion, he still elicits loyalty from pols and childhood friends alike. Have the Feds too Fallen Under the Weldon Spell? Is he the Teflon Weldon? Restore invites Weldon friends and foes this week to explore the man who shepherded the redevelopment plan for one of the last parcels of Ocean front acres on the Jersey shore into signing scant minutes before resigning his public posts in shame. Call 732-774-0779 if you want to participate in this discussion, or call in live to Restore this week 775-0821. Voice your opinion - This is America.

Historic preservationist Rich Fernicola makes a point, while Loch Arbor resident Melanie Nowlin & Ocean Twp Council candidate Rob Morley listen. They were asked: What effect has Asbury's Doldrums had on its neighbors? What do they hope to see here? What's their worst nightmare? Will Asbury's neighbors help to promote a sustainable recovery - or continue to look the other way??      That's Rod Cole on the SoundBd

The Rap Sheet is heard on this 11/21 show: Rap Sheet

Yo Yo -- Listen Up!!

Old Weldon needs money
Don’t no one think that’s funny?

Here’s a man lookin at pullin down twenty
Lost his company car (and maybe his pension)
But since AP put twelve grand in his pants Last Friday
He can now split to the highway
An island, a principality that sees his way

But that won’t be nec-e-ssary
Since an invisible hand got Kate and Jim Writin' their letters
like so many mercy-nary

Clemency, leniency, decency – give the man a break!
No matter how bad he be in Ocean
In Asbury Park he wern’t on the take!
-Nov 21, 2002 -Maureen Nevin

HOW DA MAKE ASBURY PARK COME BACK AGAIN
WELDON WAS THE MAN WITH THAT PLAN
HE GOT THINGS DONE

HE TOLD THE COUNCIL JUST CHILL
FBI AINT FINDIN NO STASH IN MY CRIB
THEY JUST LOOKIN STILL
BUT OVER IN THE TOWNSHIP
WELDON STEP IN SHIT
THAT COUNCIL OUR COUNCIL
NEITHER WERE THINKIN –

WHEN
WELDON WAS WINKIN


CAUGHT UP WITH THE TERRY

BUT BEFORE HE GO

MONEY FROM THE CITY GOIN TO PAY
HIS OFF TIME/

August 8 - 2002 - Musician Paul Brubaker

He reminds some people of Elvis Costello and Marshall Crenshaw. Whatever, you'll call Montclair's Paul Brubaker a great new talent.

Meet him here in the webstream version of Restore or on www.paulbrubaker.com Check out Paul's thoughts on Asbury, Bruce & The Today Show:

1. July 30, 2002-Asbury Park. There were two stars of the show last Tuesday: The Boss and the city that made him, Asbury Park. I didn't get into Convention Hall, but stayed among the good folks on the boardwalk that overlooked the beach where throngs of people camped out for two days before the big Today Show concert. From outside the hall, I heard Bruce's show-new stuff from the new CD, then the set ended with "Glory Days." Good choice, hearing a simple joyous ode to happy times can feel like bread from the heavens. But it wasn't until later that day when I would understand just how appropriate the song was for that day.

As the TV crews and helicopters cleared, and the weary crowd thinned I walked downtown to find the Insomnia Cafe, where I will be performing this week. I made it there before it opened, so with time to kill I walked across the street to find an art gallery, Sulli Studios. It was showing wonderful photographs of Stone Pony regulars including Bruce and the E Street Band, Marshall Crenshaw, and John Entwistle. I bought a small photo of Southside Johnny for my friend Brad, and they were nice enough to hang a flyer in their window to promote my gig. Back across the street, I met Michael who gave me the gig at Insomnia. His place was rocking with people, trying to get a cup of coffee to help get them through the rest of the festive day. He still managed a friendly smile and handshake as I thanked him for the gig.

I later decided to go to the Stone Pony where local bands played all afternoon. On the way there I met folks from The Black Box Theater and El Lobo Negro Art Gallery, and it was clear that the Asbury Park was shining again. When I got to the Stone Pony I made new friend named Rich, who had seen a couple of more shows than me. He compared the day to the vibe he felt at the original Woodstock festival, and said that it had been a while since he had seen anything like this. Indeed, I had never seen anything like it. A whole city transformed on a sunny Tuesday morning by a huge bolt of optimism sent by their favorite son. I couldn't help but feel great from being there.

It truly is wonderful to have the chance to perform, to write and record music, and to make friends with your guitar. But on that day, it was the greatest feeling in the world to be a fan. A long time fan of Bruce Springsteen, and a brand new fan of Asbury Park. Glory Days are here again. Listen to Paul on the air~
