PLANNING BOARD TO HOLD DO-OVER

Fitzpatrick, steveGovernment watchdog Steve Fitzpatrick says public inattention could lead to more traffic and parking problems in Red Bank.

A  recommendation to let developers build 40 units where they're now limited to 16 is one of several that Red Bank residents will get a second shot at commenting on Wednesday night.

That's when the planning board, at the direction of Mayor Pasquale Menna, takes another stab at soliciting input on suggested changes to the master plan, the policy document that guides zoning regulations.

The do-over of sorts comes after pressure from lone-wolf activist Steve Fitzpatrick, a 50-year-old retired Long Branch firefighter who lives on Hudson Avenue. Last month, he urged Menna and the borough council to re-open the public hearing because the sole session conducted by the planning board followed nearly six-months of closed-door discussions and landed on a Monday night 10 days before Christmas.

"A lot of things like this happen — the meeting notice is a tiny blurb on a back page of the Asbury Park Press," says Fitzpatrick. "And the meeting was held right in the heart of the holiday season."

If more people knew what was being proposed, more might be as alarmed as he is about what's on the table, Fitzpatrick says.

WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?

Where_02.05.09_IR

Last week’s ‘Where Have I Seen This?‘ featured three views from the site of Shrewsbury’s Allen House, a history-drenched property that dates to the late 17th or early 18th century and functioned for many years as a tavern.

Now maintained by the Monmouth County Historical Association (and open for free tours May through September), it’s at the northwest corner of what’s known as ‘the historic four corners’ intersection of Broad Street (Route 35) and Sycamore Avenue.

RCDS ROCKS OUT FOR SANDY GROUND

BandieraRCDSBon Jovi guitarist and Jersey Shore music legend Bobby Bandiera (center) joined students Anthony Flora, Kyle Ward, Max Kyrillos, Glen Wise, James Ruggiero and Dillon Butler during the recent Rock Out for Sandy Ground Benefit Concert at Rumson Country Day School.

Press release from Rumson Country Day School

The afternoon of Sunday, April 27 was a warm and sunny spring day, but The Rumson Country Day School was also turning up the heat in the Blake Gymnasium, where 250 people assembled for a benefit rock concert. The student-driven benefit was the brainchild of RCDS eighth grader Max Kyrillos, who got the idea from the 12-12-12 relief concert in New York City. Together with a group of fellow RCDS classmates, the student volunteers planned the Students Rock Out for Sandy Ground Benefit Concert, organizing everything from concessions to crowd control, and raised more than $9,000.

Net proceeds will help the Sandy Ground Project to build 26 new playgrounds that are a living memorial to each victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Karen and Joe Burke from the Where Angels Play Foundation were at the event, as well as Mark Jones, Vice President of External Affairs for JCP&L, who presented a check for $1,500. Alumni parent, J. Robert Small, parent of Elizabeth Small ’12, generously offered a matching challenge grant of up to $1,000. Mr. Small started Helping Highlands Survivors, a charity organization that has worked closely with The Sandy Ground Project to raise funds for the Daniel Barden Playground in the Highlands.

Bobby Bandiera of Bon Jovi fame made a special appearance and gave the teen musicians the thrill of playing with a famous rock musician for a great cause. The noted guitarist was also part of another legendary New Jersey band Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The concert also featured two local teen bands including Max’s band, The Stone Bullets, and Ardvark Smile, a popular local band from Middletown and the musical duo of RCDS teacher Tom Scott and RCDS security officer Tom Mancuso.

STAVOLA, PLANNERS SPAR OVER PARKING LOT

By DUSTIN RACIOPPI

Going into Wednesday night’s Red Bank Planning Board meeting, it appeared that a few questions might finally be answered concerning the gas station-turned-private-parking lot across the street from borough hall, the biggest being: when might an approved store and apartment project be built there?

Not anytime soon, was the answer. 

At issue though, was the matter of whether to allow the property owner, Stavola Leasing, to operate a parking lot on the site in the interim. And the matter turned into a subject of a heated exchange between board members and Stavola representatives.

A BUNCH OF GALS WHO TRI, TRI, TRI

ocean-swimMembers of the Jersey Shore Tri Gals take to the ocean on a training swim Wednesday. (Click to enlarge)

Twenty years ago, in the early days of the Danskin Triathlon, it used to take weeks or months for the event to get fully booked with participants.

This year, all 1,000 slots for the Sandy Hook edition of the swim-bike-run women’s series were filled in a matter of hours.

The event, and the clubs that feed racers into it, just keep growing, said Fair Haven’s Pam Mancuso, self-appointed “queen” and co-founder of the  Jersey Shore Tri Gals. The club, launched in 2004 with just four members, now has some 130, 65 of whom will be in the Danskin race.

“A couple of months ago, half these women wouldn’t even put a toe in the water,” Mancuso said of a group of about 18 women getting ready to join her on a training swim in rough surf at Sea Bright earlier this week. “Now, they’re attacking the water.”
