End-Year Review

The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, What a dust do I raise!
- The Fly on the Wheel, Aesop's Fables

We live in interesting times. As I’ve shifted most of my energies to the school board, the blog has suffered but the school board has taken a new direction. The Matawan-Aberdeen School District now takes guidance from the school board, as it always should have, and the school board is providing that guidance.

This year’s top four blog pieces are, appropriately, a scandal that rocked the town, my election, and the tragic passing of two our youngest and finest, Daniel Cleary and Jawann Brown. Still, traffic is certainly down from the days I investigated the school district and township. That’s fine by me. Readership was always a means to an end, not an end in itself. The blog averages over 5,000 visits a month and has an estimated 5% penetration rate, more than any other local news outlet excluding the Independent and APP.

Ms. Hayward and I had a campaign slogan, “A break from the past,” and this school board has certainly done that. The political lines have disappeared. Ms. Hayward and I have never been together in the minority. Nor have Ms. Rubino and her running mate, Mr. Ruprecht, ever voted together in the minority. Nor have two Matawan representatives ever been in the minority.

Equally important, much of the tension is gone and board meetings are often lighthearted despite the serious issues before us. We laugh and joke, something I had never seen at prior board meetings. We work well together.

My mother always taught me to reach for the sky but settle for the moon and that’s been my experience on the school board.

At the end of July, I listed three goals I had brought to the board. The first was to hold board members accountable, the second to ensure graduates were college-ready, and the third to hold the line on tax increases. Here’s what we got – Split votes are recorded as such in the minutes so people can quickly research how board members voted on “controversial” issues. The board has effectively endorsed the recommendations of the college readiness committee. And the board has set a goal of limiting tax increases to 2% or below.

Writing skills, another board goal, is now being stressed across grade levels and courses. The board has also adopted an objective measure for school performance.

As for my crusade against the “cheap and easy” online degrees, the administration has agreed to request sample coursework from applicants for salary adjustments to determine the degrees were actually “earned”. (Work will be reviewed for verification purposes, not for quality.) One word of warning, though – If any instructor is currently enrolled in one of the “cheap and easy” online schools, be sure to complete your degree and request your salary adjustment before a new contract is adopted. As the board attorney said at the last meeting, there’s no guarantee these degrees will be recognized in the new labor contract.

The technology department is laying the groundwork for providing parents the necessary tools and information to become full partners in their children’s education. That same foundation can later be used for massive data mining to determine the factors for success and failure..

The board voted unanimously against funding collaboration pairs. Dr. Delaney has fought against “paying teachers for speaking to each other” and this practice has been terminated.

We finally have a mission statement that actually holds the district accountable for results. We’re also rewriting and posting all our board policies. When I objected to enacting policies that were already covered by law, Mr. O’Connell argued we needed the policies as an easy reference for the public so they could hold us accountable. He’s right and I’m glad the board followed his lead.

After two years of complaining and millions of dollars later, we got preliminary results from the RTI program; they weren’t good and I doubt it will survive next year’s budget cuts.

Performance goals have still not been established for the superintendent but he and the administration will surely be held accountable for meeting the board goals. I would prefer a mathematical guide but it’s very unlikely the board would ever use one. I have a draft formula for my personal use and I still plan to publish it once the board goals have been finalized.

Next on my list are curriculum reviews and developing additional streams of revenue.

All in all, I’m pleased. Like the fly on the wheel, I can’t claim any great accomplishments but I’m enjoying the ride and I’m grateful to Aberdeen for the opportunity to serve.

Hate to rain on your celebration but it was before you were elected that the board voted to send out the policies to be rewritten, to purchase the parent program for technology and had a 0% tax increase. But I will credit you for your votes to give 7% and 9% increases to administration, and to promote a fellow board members spouse without a timely application or an in person interview. The tension may be relaxed between board members but your "cheap and easy" type statements regarding teachers has caused moral to plummet. Good Luck with those contract negotiations.

Joey the sycophant strikes again...

Extolling the ideas of your fellow BOE members, which were implemented before your election... Talking about how the BOE is just one big love-fest since you and Liz arrived, but neglecting to mention that no one will support any of your ideas or second your motions... Perhaps you should ask Mr. O'Connell if his ass hurts after you kissed it so hard in your year-end post...

Just so you know, Joey... We've pasted your picture next to "sycophant" in our dictionary... You're a joke and we're a third of the way to 2012...

For those who don't remember, AA is the "pseudo-intellectual" who didn't know the meaning of "sycophant". That's why he now carries a dictionary.

Happy new year and best of luck with your vocabulary.

Aberdeener said...

First Anon,

Your memory is a bit cloudy. The school district hired Strauss Esmay to rewrite the policies in April 23, 2008. So, what took so long? None of the policies were reviewed until the current board.

As for the technology department, are you referring to the one directed by a high school graduate? You think she was capable of managing a major technology initiative? The current board appointed a director with a PhD, somebody who actually knows something about technology.

Yes, there was a 0% tax increase. What role did the board play in that? None that I know of. Nor do I recall the board objecting to the massive tax increases in years past.

When was the previous time this board ever set district goals by which the community could hold us accountable? I can't recall and I bet neither can you.

Here's an idea. Why don't you list the prior board's accomplishments? I'm sure we'd all be interested.

For those who don't remember, Joey Warren is the joker who ran unopposed for the school board last year. That's why he's on the BOE until 2012.

Happy new year and best of luck in 2012 when I promise you won't run unopposed...

--Actual Aberdeeners

P.S. Mark my words, Joey Warren won't run for re-election in 2012 once he sees someone running against him. He will cite the fact that he'd like to focus on... blogging, being Mr. Mom, not mowing his lawn, fill in the blank...

Joey,

You fault the technology director for only having a high school degree, yet tell us that Jerry
Donahue ( with the same degree,but I'm sure a much smaller GPA) an asset to the board? come on, I've heard him speak and frankly, he is an embarrassment.

Aberdeener said...

AA,

Once again, thank you for your comments. :)

For the past six months, I've been saying I have no desire to serve beyond one term but now you pretend to be clairvoyant in predicting I'll do what I said I'll do.

Too funny.

As for Gerry, I believe I can speak for him when I say neither one of us feel he'd be qualified to be the tech director. :)

Anonymous said...

Joey,

You think this blog has a 5% penetration rate?!? Do you really think that 5% of the 20,000 people in Aberdeen read this blog?!? HAHAHA! You can't be serious...

You really think this blog reaches 1,000 people? And you think each of those people only visit the site 5 times per month to make up your 5,000 visits?!? HAHAHA! I personally visit this site 3-5 times every weekday to check for people ripping you and your idiotic BOE...

If you told me you had a 1% penetration rate, I'd believe you. Based on Aberdeen's population of 20,000, that would be 200 people each visiting this blog 25 times per month. But, to tell us that you rival the Independent or APP with 5% of Aberdeen reading your blog is self-agrandizing lunacy...

But, I guess I've come to expect that from you...

Please debunk the foregoing or tell me I've miscalculated something because if you think there are 1,000 people reading this blog, then you're an even bigger moron than I thought...

Aberdeener said...

It's good to know my blog attracts the best and brightest in Aberdeen.

Let's see - if you clicked on the link in the posting, you'd have seen my site traffic.

I get over a 1,000 unique visitors a month. That means unique IP addresses, as in households, offices, and the like.

Aberdeen has about 7,500 residences. A 5% penetration rate would be 375 residences.

Did you get all that or do you need some more help with the math?

Anonymous said...

Stand up for yourself Joey. No one else will. People like you and Gerry and some others are seen as puzzling outsiders by the few who support the status qou. Yet these are the same people who defend and support that scumbag Norman Kauff.

Anonymous said...

Btw, your new mission statement is just as vague as the last one. "If students fail to excel" than the board has failed. What's the meaning of the word excel"? There's the scapegoat for this and every board following. I think we should make the kids memorize and recite the mission/vision as they salute the board. Yeah that will make a difference.

Anonymous said...

Clever response regarding Jerry. Truth is that the man isn't qualified to be a board member either, unless being a simpleton is one of the requirements.

Anonymous said...

Personal attacks against Mr. D. who has been elected by the majority of Matawan residents despite your ignorant attacks. Get a life or run for his post.

Then you too can have simpletons like yourself attack you for caring and being concerned for the education of our children. I was surprised you knew how to spell simpleton though. Soon you can get your GED. Good work!

Thank you for all your support.

Gerry ran unopposed as always. He also voted on the appointment of his wife's supervisor as well as her tenure. In addition he voted on the superintendent's appointment and increase even after the ethics lady told him at last Dec. meeting not to do review of sup. Then surprise, surprise his wife gets a recommendation for full time employment, then quick telephone interview day of vote and BAM she's in. Joey surprised you supported that "break from the past".

For someone so knowledgeable, I'm surprised you forgot that I voted against Gerry's wife's appointment to a full-time position.

Do your unique IP Addresses include Dynamic IP Addresses which may be from the same computer?

Aberdeener said...

Google Analytics tracks IP addresses, not computers. IP addresses are provided by the telecommunications carrier (i.e. cable, phone companies) and tend to be fairly static over large periods of time.

The site generally gets about 1200-1500 unique visitors a month. I think it's a fair assumption that 30% of those visitors represent unique households in Aberdeen.

Anonymous said...

I check from home and at work, I bet others do the same. I think a 5% rate may be a little high. I would bet it is closer to 3%. I would guess others do the same and spouses may also do that too.

Aberdeener said...

The blog receives about 1200-1500 "unique visitors" a month but you believe that only translates into 250 local households? How do you get that?

Norm said...

It was wonderful. Thanks for asking, good talking to you.

MAYBE THERE IS HOPE AFTER ALL????

I TOOK THE FAMILY TO UNCLE PHILS CHEESESTEAK SHOP FOR LUNCH. ON THE WAY I TOOK NOTICE THAT THE BIG DEVELOPER SIGN IS MISSING OFF OF THE FENCE ON CHURCH STREET. MAYBE MAYOR TAGLEARENI HAS REALIZED THAT A SIGN FOR A DEVELOPER WHOSE FAILED PROMISES TO AN INTERESTED PUBLIC DESERVES TO BE REMOVED FROM PUBLIC VIEW. EITHER THAT OR THE DEMOCRATS USED THE SIGN AS A VOTING TOOL FOR SENIORS TO MAKE THEM THINK THEY WERE WORKING ON THEIR BEHALF.

MAYBE THEY PUT THE SIGN AWAY FOR THE VINCE ELECTION IN TWO YEARS ? EITHER WAY WE ARE GLAD THE SIGN IS GONE. IT TRULY WAS A REMINDER OF MORE PROMISES NOT KEPT BY OUR LEADERSHIP.

NOW IF THEY CAN ONLY EXPLAIN WHAT THE ANCHOR GLASS DEVELOPER IF WHAT THEY PROMISED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

CtyRdBessie said...

As far as the factory on cliffwood ave is there any agreements with that developer as to waht they will do. If so is there a time frame where they have to move forward. It seems that promises not progress is what the public gets. Failed promises to us while the candidates campaigns get cash to allow the builders fraud to continue. Just wondering if i am alone in my thoughts. Dont make me a part of your slander for asking.

Hope in the new year depends on said...

Question of the day:

How many of the same unqualified, Kauff attached supposed professionals will be RE-APPOINTED at the swearing in tomorrow afternoon ?

To quote Governor Corzine:

The too cozy relationships with municipal level service professionals that get appointed year after year is the root of all of the corruption at the local level. John Corzine 2009

Tomorrows votes may be proof of that to the 10th degree. Right Normy?

So much for Fred Tagliarini and his courses on governmental ethics that he has supposedly taken. Google Fred Tagliarinis name and wait until you see what comes up. Freddie must have been absent on the day the class was taught about political bosses and corruption.

Good luck Freddie Boy. Or is it Normys boy now? We will know after tomorrows appointments are voted on you can be sure. If all of them vote to keep the gravy train rolling onto Justice Lane it is over. Perhaps Freddie will shock us all and he will stand up for the people he and the others recently elected will swear an oath to. An oath in which are included the words I swear to God. God is not spelled Kauff Freddie.

Here is a hint Freddie. The name Norman Kauff is nowhere in the oath you will take tomorrow afternoon. Stand up against evil Freddie. Stand up for the people you will swear to serve to the best of your ability.

Duke said...

Whatever the reason for taking down the sign on Church Street may have been, it was weathered from years in the sun and hot and cold. Tatters had developed in it. In the recent wind, it had torn loose from the fence and was waving in the wind.
Good riddance, as it was beginning to look like one of those "grand opening" signs remaining on businesses that went out of business.

Anonymous said...

Hope in the new year pay attention.
The votes were cast by Normy.
The appointments were insured by Normy to feed his corruption. The deal was done long ago and the public has nothing to do with the part of the oath that says to the best of my ability. They give up their independent ability the day they say yes to Normy. And we wonder why politicians and politics is really just the first four letter curse word in life. Forget the word god as that means little to those who instead swear their allegiance to Normy.

Thanks for the food Norm said...

I'll tell you one thing the spread they democrats put out at todays organizational meeting in Aberdeen was really good. As to the previous posters you can all relax and know that Aberdeen and its leadership is once again corrupt thru and thru. The same professionals are once again holding the purse strings and will insure they get all our money. If you were holding your breath to see if the newly elected would stand up and be accountable for the thievery of the past you will be sadly mistaken. No one said a word about the professional appointments. Kauff reigns supreme.

Anonymous said...

I for one agree the sign on church street was a disgrace. Just as much of a disgrace as the fact that all the lies surrounding the supposed development for seniors is only more Kauff bullshit. What has he ever accomplished? I'm waiting.

This just in from The Land of Make Believe News Room...

Sources say that Norm did a lot of bad things to Aberdeen, and that he is very corrupt.

The sources refused to be identified, but said they had solid proof.

When asked what the proof was, they said they read it from other anonymous sources on the Aberdeener website.

One source, who did identify himself as Mr FU Kauff stated " All the proof is right there for all to see, if someone posted it on the Aberdeener, it MUST be true"

I am tired of looking across the street and seeing that unsightly thing for sure. It seemed some time back under the last manager that it was moving in the right direction. Anyone know why it is stalled. Let us know if you know. I also see much criticism and name calling remains on the blog against Mr. K and his supporters. To that I say keep it up. What have they ever really done ? Let us know if you know on that one as well. At a new years eve party my neighbors were discussing the hopes some of them had for the newly elected.

BREAKING NEWS.....

From the Childrens Television News network..


Our sources are telling us that Norm will be visited by big brawny men in black 4 door sedans. These big brawny men will have FBI on their clothes. When asked for more information, the sources couldn't or wouldn't provide any.
This may possibly be related to the takedown of Norm, that was predicted by these sources last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that.
It should also be noted that Norm has in the past been named as a suspect in the murders of Mr. Hooper, JFK, John Lennon, Malcolm X, and Jon Benet Ramsey.
Norm has also been accused of a shakedown in a parking lot located somewhere in the Land of Make Believe, and of causing global warming.

We will keep you posted as more developments in this story come in.

Chew on thes King Friday said...

KIng Friday your wit and disregard for the obvious truths is laughable. So ignore these few tidbits while you deny, deny and once again deny.

One* Building on Cliffwood Ave. sat vacant under Kauff and Corren for over fifteen years only being a ever present blight and minimal tax benefit to the town. Why Corren and Kauff let the property sit idle and being a drain on the community only they know the truth.

Two* Corren retires and Kauff hires Stuart Brown. Brown gets the exact same building and others up and running and even gets big plans from the new owners for the development of the site. Those plans are shown to all of us who live nearby. Brown gets the buildings made safe and opens them up for warehouse and shipping. Best of all they are once again paying taxes now as a functioning business site while Kauff unfortunately sinks his teeth into possible any and all $$$ that may come from the site actually being developed if ever.

Three* Kauff tries to get Corren brought in as a developmental consultant to keep watch of Kauffs interests $$$$$$$. Corren does not last long in that position as he is seen as a political liability after Kauff having hired Brown because of Browns vast developmental expertise. It is unknown how much it cost the taxpayer to have Corren around to watch the Kauff $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Four* Rumors abound till today that connected legal representation by the firm of Lesniak and Leasniak these family ties are to the developers friend State Senator Lesniak and of course all are once again closely tied to Kauff and his $$$$$$. This close association and Corren being brought in was all to give Kauff political credibility and the inside track for CM&E $$$ and all of Kauffs other close personal leeches interests $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Five* Brown interrupts the $$$$$$ to Kauff and the other leeches all related to CM&E projects. Brown also properly and ethically advises all responsible parties as to the parking lot shakedown of the developer attached to another dormant property near town hall by Kauff. That project was another property that Brown gets up and running that Corren and Kauff allowed to be dormant and unsightly during their reign of terror.

King Friday I have got to take my son to his basketball game. Chew on these facts for awhile. By the way all of the above is 100% true as always. Isn't that right Kauff.

Anonymous said...

How can these be facts when you yourself acknowledge: "Rumors abound till today"?

PEACHTREECOMMUNITY said...

TRUE is an understatement. All of it is true. Every single one of your past, present and newly sworn elected officials know it to be 100% true. Their minions denials and assertions that we are all liars is all the proof I need. If Kauff is not all the things posted here where is the lawsuit? Where is the denials by any of these elected officials under their real names. many of them have come on and denied, wrongly blamed and criticized those of us who know the true level of their and Kauffs corruption. The only thing is they will never expose themselves as they already know they are liable for not turning Kauff in about the parking lot shakedown. Just like the lawyer in south jersey who is now under indictment for padding his government pension by sending underlings to municipal council meetings and billing his own higher rate of pay. This and far more is the guilt of Kauff. The more his minions deny the more that will come out. Here is a hint. What former town attorney is once again orchestrating the towns portion of developmental deals while also getting paid by the same developers he is negotiating with? Is negotiating developmental deals from both sides of the table legal or ethical? We shall soon see.

NEWSFLASH!!!

From The Land of Make Believe Newsroom...


Our sources deep inside the L of MB prosecutors office have learned that a secret indictment is going to be unsealed today on Norm.

Chief among the charges is the infamous parking lot shakedown alleged to have happened in the parking lot behind Mr. Hooper's store several years ago.

Also, Norm is rumored to be going down for the shooting last year of Forgetful Jones that occured in Oscar's garbage
can.

Norm is still the main suspect in the kidnapping and rapes of Miss Piggy, and Janice from the Muppet Show, but DNA evidence was ruled inadmissable by Judge Gonzo, due to prosecuting attourney Kermit T. Frog's conflict of interest resulting from him particpating in the chain of evidence.

You heard it here first

King Friday said...

UPDATE...

The indictment of Norm was released today by Asst. Prosecutor,The Count.

When asked what was in the indictment The Count stated

"ONE! ONE! Count of bribery for the bribe at Hooper's store"

TWO! TWO! Counts of kidnapping and rape for the rape he, and members of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band commited on Janice and Miss Piggy.

THREE! THREE! Counts of witness tampering, due to the threats he made to national heroes, THE TRUTH, Pinehurst Dong, and Edgeview Turd, who were key players in bringing Norm to justice. Norm allegedly sent known organized crime figures Sam the Eagle, and The Swedish Chef to their houses to intimidate them not to testify. When asked by this reporter about the charges against him, Swedish Chef replied " Bork Bork Bork!!"

Norm said...

Like you don't know. You know damn well I wear the orange jumpsuit wen we roleplay prison rape. All you have to do is look in the mirror at the head of the bed when I'm ramming you from behind.

Play ball said...

Norm just admit it you are ALWAYS outclassed and more when funnies like the Coren prison care package list get posted.

Face it Norm pretender your lame.

Your damn good at defending the guilty though.

MORE KAUFF BULLSHIT said...

Outclassed is an understatement. These low life and corruption defending idiots know they are worse then Mark Coren and his crimes against children. This is easily proven since the Kauff people allow the political leeches and hangers on to prey on taxpayers and negatively affect their families in a manner that is far more damaging then any pedophile could. F em all I say.

Who is defeding Coren you dimwits? People are mocking you idiots for accusing all of the town council for everything under the sun! It is funny how you don't even get that? Keep up the funnies King.

gaston_guy said...

I've been reading this Kauff saga for some time now. It's true that Kauff and his corruption are real, all too real.
Yes, he should be led away in shackles, but let's get real here. This guy covers his tracks extremely well. Even the CME "screwups" like Gerard Ave are calculated to make more money for CME which is kicked back to Kauff and the Democrat machine.
The best way to take him down is to deny him control. This opportunity was missed last fall when the Republicans lost. So now, we must wait until 2011. If he doesn't control the town, no money and no power.

Anonymous said...

oh what some guy called gaston said it is true, I change my mind. NO EVIDENCE! Keep the entertainment coming, Kauff your day is coming, I know, I know we have all heard it before!

WooleyStBK said...

The evidence on Gaston was in my front yard for months. So here is what happened to us over here in Vinci land. CME Engineering told Aberdeen that they owned the property along the edge of the parkway on Gaston. Aberdeen did not own it and CME was very wrong. CME started and was paid for all design plans and the contractors were hired clearing the site and placing curbs and everything else totally screwing up our street. Then all of a sudden the parkway people came in and asked what was going on on parkway property.

OOOOOOOPS egg on the faces at CME. From what we were told it happens alot that CME screws up municipal jobs and then CME gets paid to fix their own screw ups. No wonder governmental contracts are so expensive when we pay for such questionable services over and over again.

The best part of the story was that they tried to by my neighbors property for a dollar. That was until he asked about the monies that Deputy Mayor Gumbs and her family got for a road project in there area of Aberdeen. That was just the same as my neighbor when the Gumbs group had to give up their property.

Anyway no one was held accountable. No one was accountable to the contractor being delayed and stopping work and no one talks about how much it cost the taxpayers for the contractor to leave the site and come back six months later and fix the CME screw ups again. We lived with a real mess from the CME mess and for what.

That is proof positive to the doubters since I lived it.

I heard that cme bought off vinny with a tractor trailer load of Ronald Reagan's secret hair coloring

Anonymous said...

Tha is funny. But only Vins hair dresser knows for sure. He used to drive that old car of his with a towel wrapped around the
headrest. Some of us used to laugh about it when he pulled up to the games. It makes him feel so young? My wife laughs at it every time we see him. As long as he is happy. i have been bald so long I forgot I had hair.

Kauff get yourhandoutofmypocket said...

Vinny has been bought off all right but it was much more then hair dye for his deaf dumb and blind allegiance. Lets see there was the two big properties he was gifted next door to his house. Gifted we should remember without any limitations. That allows him to sell off the properties and cash in. Cash in like that never happens in our state. Political people like Vinci using there official position to make money for themselves. That never happens. Sure it doenst. Then Vinci got the three quarter of a million dollar intersection to keep a few people from driving down his street. Then there was the consulting monies posted on here that had Vinci paid off to run for office in town. What was it that Vinci got paid. Anyone remember. Now according to the paper in my driveway Vinci is the new deputy mayor under Tag. I hope I can be at the first council meeting Vinci has to run as the Deputy Mayor. With all the things Vinci would have to do it would be a sideshow for sure. I watched Gumbsy try to do that once and boy was that histerical. Look for Vinny to be absent if Tag can't make it to a meeting. That would leaveg Vinci in charge. You would think with all of the years of experience sitting there doing nothing Vinci would be able to run a meeting so easy. Then again it does not involve numbers that has always been Vincis best trait. Jets won by the way. What was the numbers on that one Vinci.

Warrendrhadenough said...

Vinci in charge? That is laughable. Is that change supposed to make us think that Vinci and his cohorts have some new found independence from all things
Norm ? Next thing they will want us to think is that they actually work on the behalf of us the taxpayers. Sure they do ? That is about as true as me being able to move right into that long promised senior complex on Church Street tomorrow morning.

We are in week two of the new year and from the pictures in the independent newspaper it looks like some lawyer gets all the glad handing and respect. Who is she and why all the handshaking and kissing up to her by the newly elected ?

Pleaseanswerthe10Mr.Kauff said...

It seems that the Kauffkins are DEAD SILENT since WooleyStBK posted. Seems that is just another post about giving all of us just one more example of the CME mistakes under Norm.

Maybe the delay on an official Kauffkin response has occurred this time as Norm is not around to tell his soldiers what lie to post next. You just never know do you?

As for the picture of the woman in the paper at the swearing shaking hands that is identified as an Attorney I myself think it is Norm in drag. Maybe our former manager Correna has been sharing some his prison beauty secrets with our Norm?

NEWSFLASH!


NORM ESCAPES!!!
By Elmo Monster, staff writer


Norm was busted out of Fraggle Rock Penitentiary earlier today by members of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band, and the Black Widows Motorcycle Gang. Fraggle Rock Warden Emmet Otter stated that approx. 30 members of the gang attacked the convoy transporting Norm with automatic weapons while they were attempting to get Norm to the prison from the Sesame Street courthouse after being sentenced to 500 years.

Sesame Street Police Chief Oscar T. Grouch ha no comment at this time. Our sources tell us that Chief Grouch has sought out the help of Batman, and the Hulk to recapture Norm.

BITCHES!!!

F U Norm said...

Norm:) it is a good thing they closed Marlboro. Wait that is also a property that has supposed to have been developed just like all the ones in Aberdeen that Kauff sits on top of. Just more studies by CM&E for the taxpayers to be over billed for. Right Norm:)

Makes you say hmmmm said...

The Normy pretenders will not respond to Wooly or anyone else. They can't. They know every word is true. All they can do is deny, deny and once more and forever deny. How else can you explain Vinny being so quiet when right in his backyard his own neighbors lived with the CME mistake and what looks like a cover up by those in leadership Vinny included. Knowing Vinny one would think he would have been up in arms and quick to represent his area. Then again it was not an election year for Vinny. That may explain a whole lot of what Wooly said and how long the mess lasted.

Long gone from Aberdeen said...

It technically was Vinci' side yard. It was also unfolding at the same time as the Vinci intersection was being installed. We all know what a crime that was. The fact that the intersection needed a traffic light was obvious. The fact that Vinci has arrogantly walled off his street and pressured vast amount of monies to be spent without any real purpose other then Vinci wanted it. That was the real sin. Then again if Vinci was complaining to you day after day after day you would give in just like Freeholder Clifton had to and spend over 650K just to stop Vinci and his complaining.

County Road business owner with ? said...

As for long gone from Aberdeen and that posting above I commend that you stay in touch with our problems and the questionable decisions of our local leadership. The above example of the intersection is just a drop in the bucket. Just now in the newspaper I read an article that says that the Affordable housing funding is drying up. We are having our own problem with local leadership trying to put all their affordable housing requirements in one area, my area to be exact. Our leadership is trying to put 250 maybe more affordable units right near my business and such housing will only cause me problems in securing my venue. If one looks at affordable housing and its true effects it brings a host of problems that gets little attention other then from the police. Welcome to my nightmare and know that I am watching this housing fight very close. The article shows that Aberdeen has a trust fund balance of $1,977,320.53. When leaders show they care more about themselves and overpriced intersections, can we really trust them to spend almost two million dollars wisely and protect the residents and business owners like me from the problems affordable housing has brought with it historically? I am not pointing fingers as I am just trying to protect my business. To put all such housing in one area is wrong on many levels. To waste or give away large amounts of money for self serving reasons is likewise worrisome. I have already been contacted by area residents who are watching this just as closely as myself. As my father used to say we shall see what we shall see.

What a wonderful place this is.

Kauff can kiss my ass said...

How can the last two posts not answer even what WooleyStBK said. Did BK mention anything about the D's? The post was about a possibly expensive and embarrassing mistake that an employed professional service was paid for and then possibly paid again to correct their mistakes. The fact that the engineers may have been paid for mistakes they themselves caused to occur should cause major angst for anyone living here. Likewise the fact that our town council let it happen and may have not sought accountability is no less troubling. Yes there is that dirty word that all politicians and others despise. ACCOUNTABLITY

For the two posts above to portray the plight of BK and his neighbors as some petty political show, is likewise insulting. So to the anonymous posters above just keep avoiding the substance of such postings along with the millions of our tax dollars that are similarly wasted and wrongly controlled by an unelected rat bastard named Norman Kauff.

Anonymous said...

I'll address WooleyStBK's post.

1) No where in the message is Norm mentioned. Instead it only refers to a mistake allegedly made by CME.

2) The message infers that CME made the mistake. Yet, there is no evidence of this cited.

3) The message infers that CME was paid to correct their own mistake. Yet, there is no evidence of this cited.

4) The message states that WooleyStBK has been told that CME messes up alot. Source of that information? Surprise... surprise... surprise ... no source is given! Who needs them.

5) The message states WooleyStBK's neighbor was offered a $ 1.00 for their property. No name of a neighbor is given. Evidential value of this allegation? NONE. Again, who needs proof.

Seems to me WooleyStBK's message was pretty useless, and contained nothing but allegations.

Once again, say something anonymous on here, and it must be fact. Provide proof of those allegations???? Who needs proof! If it was on the Aberdeener, it must be true.

Tonight...on AMERICA'S MOST WANTED...

We're going after one of the most dangerous and elusive men on the planet, Norm.

As you the viewer surely know by now, Norm was busted out of Fraggle Rock Penitentiary the other day.

This mean s.o.b. is suspected in such heinous crimes as, the assasinations of JFK, MLK, John Lennon, Malcolm X, and many more. Norm has ties to many notorius groups, such as the Bloods, Hells Angels, Al Queda, and the Manson Family.

Norm's numerous underground contacts throughout the world make it extremely difficult to track him. But get him we will.

Tune in tonight at 9 for America's Most Wanted.

WooleyStBK said...

Try this anonymous doubter.

Get in your car and go past the Oakshades ball field on Gerard Avenue. Stop and talk to the owners of the first house on the right with the half moon driveway. It is the first house as soon as you pass the dugout and the ugly storage trailer coming from Lloyd Road. Their yard is fenced in and he keeps two boats on trailers in his yard.

Ask them if they were told that they would be paid $1.00 for the part of their property that was needed for the road improvement. The $1.00 purchase price was told to them by a representative of CME Engineering. We looked at the decals plastered on the side of their small pickup truck long enough to know.

When my neighbor was told about the $1.00 price he brought up the prices paid by the town for the County Road property of Ms. Gumbs and a few others were paid in the past. By the way he got that info off of the Aberdeener.

That is what you get for your engineering tax dollars in this town. Feel free also to ask them how long we all had to live with the dirt dust blowing into our houses and covering our cars and the pooling water and bumpy road.

Feel free to ask about all the parking that was supposed to be installed across the street from our houses. Parking for the intramural sports teams to use.

If you want a good slice stop in at La Strada and ask the owner how much extra he had to pay in fees to the same CME.

Leaving for Carolina in the morning. See you in a month.

Anonymous said...

Are you trying to tell us that your neighbor was offered $ 1.00 for his property by a mysterious unidentified individual who you learned was actually a CME representative based upon decals on his small pickup truck?

LOL! Was he dressed in black and wearing sunglasses at night as well?

Now I am truly believing we are dealing with the land of make believe.

Off the train and what a busy night it seems it has been. Between the school board stuff and all the info about the ball field. The best one is the guy or girl who even doubt the people who lived with the problem and tell their story with real examples and even the house of the man that was offered a dollar for his property. The next best was the post from anonymous who laughed at BK for telling saying that the offer came from a man driving a cme work truck. I myself watched the same exact kind of truck when they did my street last year. Am I a liar too now? Did I imagine seeing a cme truck and was mistaken the several times i found myself talking to a cme employee as well when they were working there all those months? Let me know what my senses have gotten wrong. It seems anonymous has all of the answers. All the wrong answers that is.

Norm Free in 2010 said...

Guys, I usually believe a lot of what I read on here, but even I am having trouble buying that Aberdeen is now making offers to purchase property through guys in unmarked pickup trucks.

Offers to purchase property are always down through attorneys. I know, because I myself have received such an offer, which came via certified mail, and which was signed by our illustrious Township attorney.

I laughed at the offer and just threw it in the garbage. I was not about to accept it when I know from this page the amount of money paid to Gumbs in the past.

We really don't need to make up stories about unmarked pick-up trucks when there are so many clear stories of corruption and deceit out there for us to share.

Seriously, the Township offering residents $1 for their property to improve a road is quite a tall tale. Those offers go by certified mail from the Township attorney and the property owner must be given "just compensation" under eminent domain.

Further, I get pizza at La Strada all the time and I believe the house you're referring to had a large Dem sign up during the election. Guess the homeowner couldn't have been too upset with the Township if he was supporting its incumbent party...

It happened and you know why it did? You did not stop at the house and ask. This house had no sign for either party. Another lie.

tick tock tick tock said...

I find it laughable that the defenders of all things Kauff find it hard to believe that a homeowner was told that their property was needed for a road improvement program and then told by a CME worker in a CME vehicle parked in front of their house that they would be paid $1.00 for said property.

Then again these exact same defenders of all things Kauff have no problem with Vinny Vinci buying two pieces of property right next to his house for $1.00 each. Property bought somewhat secretly until posted on the aberdeener of course. Property bought form the same town Vinci is a council member in. the other piece of property was said to be bought Garden State Parkway for $1.00. Was the no restrictions snafu that is almost always imposed on others like Vinci who purchase property from our town also mistaken?

You can't lie fast enough for those examples. Or can you? I can almost hear the phone being dialed to ask Kauff for instructions on how to respond.

It is not us who are wrong it is Kauff. Tick tock tick tock.......

Can anyone smell the double standard the doubters are putting in the air? Smells like Kauff to me. Go wipe now Kauffkins.

Speaking of Kauff I have to go take a Kauff right now.

Anonymous said...

I don't think there was any scoffing done. All I see is an absurd allegation that CME drives around town in unmarked vehicles that can only be determined by reading decals on their side and offer property owners $ 1.00 for their property.

As someone else noted, offers for property are not made by mysterious CME representatives dressed in black. They are made by certified mail from the Township attorney.

That's a Fact Jack!

SHUT THE F UP said...

DID YOU STOP BY THE HOUSE AND ASK THE MAN WHO WAS REEEEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLY
ADVISED BY A WORKER FROM CME THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE PAID $1.00. FOR HIS PROPERTY.

IT DID HAPPEN JUST AS THE PROJECT STOPPED FOR MONTHS, CME SCREWED UP AND GOT PAID FOR SCREWING UP, ABERDEEN DID NOT OWN THE PROPERTY, GUMBS GOT OVERPAID FOR HER PROPERTY AND KAUFF RUNS ABERDEEN. IT IS CALLED THE COUNCIL KNEW AND DID ZIP ABOUT IT.

I agree stand at the town council meeting and air what you have, we are not mind readers. Show up, call the press, call the government official, FBI, district attorney, someone. Don't type on this blog about what a neighbor told you, have them show up. Is it not important to us, you, them? They are the ones who are letting down this town, stop keeping secrets if this things are true.

Gerard paving questions said...

Maybe the circular driveway and other paving they got shut them up. God knows that never happens to people. Ask yourself why they got a circular driveway and both his property and his neighbor got a massive driveway probably 75 feet in length. Was it for their silence? I don't know? All I know is when I got my driveway they came up less then half way unless I wanted to pay more. In this economic time who could afford that? No one offered me a circular driveway. Just another conspiracy I guess the usual doubters will say. But just explain the size of the driveway for one thing and maybe why it went all of the way up the property fences. Just a cme gift for keeping silent perhaps?

Anonymous said...

Or, perhaps he agreed to pay more for a circular driveway when the contractor came and asked?
Anon 1/18 @ 9:31 a.m.,

You got half a driveway because you clearly didn't want to pay more...

Isn't that a more likely scenario than an improper exchange of a driveway for land or whatever ridiculous conspiracy you're implying?...

CambHH said...

Was the circular driveway applied for. I was advised I had to apply for a wider driveway and got raked over the coals for it. You would have thought I was trespassing on town property the way they came after me. Typical government thugs. They said my contractor should have told me that it needed approval from them. How about the town offices informing the taxpayers of what we need to improve our properties.

Anonymous said...

How about calling the "town offices" and asking what you need to do before digging up your front yard and putting in a new driveway?

Everytime I have work done to my house, I check with the Township's construction office. That's how you avoid "being raked over the coals."

But, sorry I guess the "town offices" should have anticipated that you wanted to put in a new driveway and come to your house to explain what paperwork you should fill out. I mean it would be really easy and efficient for the "town offices" to monitor home improvement projects at all 5,000 houses in Aberdeen and call you to make sure you and your contractor aren't a couple of morons...

Liars all of them said...

CME headed up the project. FACT!
CME had the contractors for the town put in the driveways. FACT!
Property owners lived with mess for months while their very own councilman ignored it for months. Ignored it as a good little Kauff soldier of course. CME messed up really big on that one and got paid for screwing up really big. That is the CME way. You can bet Kauff and the democratic party got their shares as well.
