Jersey girl Ashley Dupré.
The company that ran into trouble for the asphalt it laid along River Road in Fair Haven last year is in the news today in connection with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s hooker.
Thomas J. “TJ” Earle, the vice president of Earle Cos. of Farmingdale, had the misfortune to arrive at and leave the Gramercy Park Hotel in Manhattan with call girl Ashley Dupré (nee Youmans) just as a pack of paparazzi was parked outside hoping for a glimpse of Lindsay Lohan, according to Fox News.
The New York Post broke the story with this:
The pretty woman, 23, and 35-year-old Thomas J. “TJ” Earle were spied ducking into the Gramercy Park Hotel, where they rented a room Tuesday after a long day drinking, dining, shopping and snuggling together in limos around the Big Apple, sources told The Post.
The two then separately left the Gramercy the next afternoon, after spending much of 24 hours in each other’s company. They walked out of the hotel 10 minutes apart, seemingly to avoid being photographed together.
Dupre, the curvy prostitute known as “Kristen,” whose trysts with Spitzer led to his resignation, then hopped into a black Range Rover and sped off. She refused to answer questions from a reporter. A closed-mouthed Earle caught a ride home in a black Chevy Suburban.
Within two hours, Earle, who is vice president of The Earle Companies construction business, showed up alone at his McMansion in Wall, NJ. He parked in back, went inside and then walked upstairs to a room where his gorgeous blond wife, Alisa, was waiting.
The paving and recycling company Earle runs with his two brothers ran into some speed bumps in Fair Haven last fall for asphalt it put down so thickly that it nearly met the tops of the curbs. Mayor Mike Halfacre and the council ordered the company to do the job over in order to get paid for its part of a $516,000 makeover at the intersection of Fair Haven Road. The job was quickly redone, but as Halfacre reports on his blog tonight:
At our last Council Meeting, we authorized the Borough Attorney to make a claim against the performance bond of Earle Asphalt Paving for defects in the River Road Streetscape project.
He adds, in response to a redbankgreen inquiry:
As I understand it, the first step in forcing performance in a public
contract dispute is to make a claim to the bond company that they did not
perform under the terms of the contract.We are not satisfied with their performance, so we are seeking the bond
to either force them to redo the road entirely, or pay for someone else
to do it.
Earle Asphalt was also a party in the first major court test of New Jersey’s limits on “pay to play” political contributions last month.
Earle Cos. was founded in in 1968 as a small paving business by Earle’s father, Walter Earle. Here’s an excerpt from the ‘values’ section of the company website:
At the Earle Companies, we understand that our reputation for honesty and integrity took many years to build, but that it can be destroyed in just a few moments. For nearly 40 years, we have been known and respected for the honest and fair manner in which we conduct our business and ourselves. It is a value that has roots in the very core of our organization and is an integral part of our success.
A married philanderer from swanky Monmouth County gets busted? I love this!!
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall once he arrived at home to face Alisa Earle. I hope she gave it to him but good, the dirty dog.
Alimony…a cheated wife's best friend. Get him, Alisa!
ha…talk about a bad day!!! Imagine pulling up to your swanky rendezvous only to find yourself surrounded by paparazzi & the NYPost. Karma is a bitch.
Is Red Bank Green becoming a gossip blog? I would trade my Nintendo Wii for a night a passion with her.
Has anybody read Mayor Halfassed Blog. Why doesn't the mayor stick to screwing up the police departments, instead of commenting on the personal problems of an outside contractor. As far as I remember there was a paving problem and the company fixed it and apologized. Thats more than you have done for Fair Haven, Mayor. And moving forward try to act like a Mayor and not a schoolgirl on prom night. You are embarrassing.
Hey Mickey…I think you'll need a few more Wiis.. From the March 13 New York Times:
"In the affidavit, the woman the Emperor’s Club called Kristen is described as 'an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.' She apparently was booked at about $1,000 an hour, placing her in the middle of the seven-diamond scale by which the prostitutes were paid up to $4,300 an hour."
So, at about $300 for the minimum Wii packaage, you are looking at about 20 minutes of her time…far from the night you're after, which would run more like 8 grand. Sorry, dude!
Mayor Halfacre, why would you add to the misery this family is going though? They have small children. They need to be left alone to try and work things out. Don't use these situations for your political baloney.
If you want to be mayor, act like a mayor.
Valid point, Taxpayer, and I have taken the post down.
"Hipocrite", please get your facts straight. Their attempt to fix the problem failed, and when we tried to discuss further repairs, they "lawyered up" and we are now being forced to take legal action.
dont blame other people, blame TJ…he makes matters worst by lying to his wife a second time..but i bet this wasnt the first tryst…once a cheater, always a cheater…the headline on the Post should have read TJ Hooker…LOL…
Hey Mickey…keep your Wii. I saw her in person and she's not that special. You can get a girl just like her (w/ out the miles) at DJais, Joey Harrisons or any other sleazy shore meat market for a couple of Red Bulls and Vodkas.
Now that Mrs Earle…vavavoom!!!
DJais, !! ha my friend Ken told me only dumb blond guidos go there
Wow, what a great day for the young practicing professional criminal from New Jersey…All this free "pubilicity" and she even gets her picture posted on our beloved green…"And who said crime doesn't pay Batman?" We forget the fact that she basically is glorified criminal…She's a glorified sleazy hooker. Tell me does she pay taxes on that income of hers?…Why isn't anyone going after her for tax evasion? And why are we sending a message to young girls in our society that says: Sure kids, sleep with a governor, get paid, get caught and get to be on a TV show to boot. And while you're at it sleep with some other guy's wife so she can cry in her coffee. I hope Earle's wife has a great lawyer and an even better bodyguard. (Just keep the martini glasses away from the woman scorned!)
As a young lawyer I really feel the need to weigh in on Halfacre's (now retracted) blog post.
Like Pringle in Belmar, these sort of actions are not only inappropriate, but truly call into question one of the most valued characteristics of an attorney: Good Judgment
Csn some please at least paraphrase Halfacre's comments? I missed them before he took them down and am concerned as a Fair Haven taxpayer. Thanks.
He wanted to know where that boat is she is on
The only thing the mayor did was to attach the link to the NY Post article and mention that one of the people involved is the principal in the company hired by Fair Haven to do the paving work. Earle Asphalt. His headline read, "It's a Small World" or something like that. That's all. He did attach two NYPost photos: one of the gal pal and one of the Earle guy. The mayor added not comments, if I recall correctly.
Interesting management style Mr. Mayor. You have a beef with the Earle company so you dump on the owner's hanky-panky activities. Did you and Pringle attend the same class on mayoral motivational tactics or the same comedy school?
Now maybe if you can put a private detective on the big guns at JCP&L.
Padrone, it doesn't much matter how we all feel to the Borough councils of Fair Haven or Red Bank. Its a good old boys club. Pringle should have been fired on the spot, and Hardacres posts are becoming alarmingly more childish and pathetic. He should be voted upon for removal, as should Pringle.
With the appointment of Mayor Pasqual Menna I had hoped for something more, someone who would move away from the good old boys club and do the right thing. Take a stand Pat, play the machine, "there before the grace of God" or Marley 'War'. Hitler probably said I'm sorry at the end, I didn't mean to offend anyone, It was all a joke. So probably did Sadam. Hatred begins with one word one action and then blossoms into an awful mess. Its a shame that John Curley couldn't get in on this.
Please don't trivialize the death of millions of innocent people by comparing silly or even offensive acts to what killers like Hitler and Saddam did.
"…asphalt it laid". Deliberate double entendre, RBGreen? Enough said.
Watching Chris Hedges on c-span. We are a nation of murderers. Our boys over there (God help them) are murderers. WAKE UP PEOPLE
Fair Haven Council member Chrsitopher Rinn does not limit his good deeds to the Borough. He certainly has a knack for making others feel uneducated, unwelcome, underappreciated. What a jerk.

Correct me if I'm wrong….Wasn't it one of the Fair Haven Police Officers who was on traffic detail that pointed out this paving mistake to Earle? Was there not a building full of Boro Employees across the street? Was there any supervision of this job? Give us another good excuse Mayor. Go ahead. I'm waiting.
Must be nice to live in a Glass House Mr. Mayor. Maybe you should keep your blog posts to something more appropriate like recycling & leaf & brush pickup.
Please don't trivialize the death of millions of innocent people by comparing silly or even offensive acts to what killers like Hitler and Saddam did.
I never meant to trivialize the deaths of millions of Jews, Russians, Gypsy's, and others during the Holocaust, If you thought so then I apologize, but the fact is that racism and hatred do become from one word and then it grows. Pringle should be at the very least censored if not fired for his raciest remarks, and Hardacre should grow up.
Thanks Rinnster. What about FH Council member Gilmour. (see attached link) Suspended from his job in Asbury Park. "Suspension was imposed for failure to perform duties, conduct unbecoming and neglect of duty", according to APP. Your families all must be so Proud!

One more note of interest. If you post a comment on Mayor Halfacre's Blog, it won't post until the mayor approve's it. Why bother !!!! Don't have a comments option.
