Smoke at the Firehouse

I’ve always had the good sense to avoid writing about Aberdeen Township’s police department and its two fire districts. However, last February there was a heated altercation in the firehouse at the corner of Church and Lloyd (Fire District #1). The time had come to have a look.

Although I have spoken with a number of people, I cannot obtain any documentation regarding the incident since it is a personnel matter. However, I believe that fire district chief, Lou Auriemma, acted in a manner unbecoming an officer and he should have, at the very least, been reprimanded by the fire commissioners. Furthermore, I do not believe the district chief is supported by a majority of his command. Although I have heard many wonderful stories about Chief Auriemma, the only chief that firehouse has ever had, I think it’s time for a change in leadership.

Notwithstanding the above, the fire commissioners chose to ignore the incident and there is no consideration of relieving Chief Auriemma of his command.

As for firehouse shenanigans we can talk about, there is some of that. (Full disclosure: When applying for my certificate of occupancy, the fire department dinged me for $2,000 in repairs for small violations that passed inspection when I purchased the house four years earlier, plus requiring a certified inspection for my chimney.)

For starters, the fire commissioners voted themselves an eye-popping 36.5% raise to $5,460 a year. That august body includes our honorable councilmen Vinci and Lauro. Apparently, Vinci needed the money after losing his consulting gig. (Is Councilman Lauro related to Samuel Lauro? Sam is on the fire district payroll as well.)

Vinci, by the way, is transferring his house and his ill-gotten land to his daughter. Looks like he’s freeing up some money to buy another place.

Chief Auriemma only works 20 hours a week. However, the ordinance creating the fire chief position requires “a minimum of 40 hours per week.” The fire commissioners are aware of the discrepancy but don’t care enough to ask the township to change the ordinance. Remember that next time you’re told the town can’t bend for you because it has to follow the law.

The fire district has about $688,000 in reserves that’s budgeted for replacement vehicles. The reserves are apparently immune from the town council’s grubby hands since they’re still in the bank. (The fire district is another unit that should consider merging with Matawan to save expenses.)

Alan Falk, Aberdeen’s former town prosecutor, is still on retainer at the Fire District but there’s talk that may come to an end after Falk refused to participate last year in the democrats’ pay-to-play election campaign. (That’s why he’s the “former” town prosecutor.)

As for the men who volunteer their time in the fire department and the EMT, they have my highest respect and gratitude and I hope they get the leadership and recognition they deserve.

"I’ve always had the good sense to avoid writing about Aberdeen Township’s police department and its two fire districts."

Yeah, you waited until you moved out of town to criticize the most cost-effective service that the Township provides for no apparent reason. Or, is there a reason?...

"When applying for my certificate of occupancy, the fire department dinged me for $2,000 in repairs for small violations that passed inspection when I purchased the house four years earlier, plus requiring a certified inspection for my chimney."

OH THERE'S THE REASON!!! You didn't take care of 7 Ithaca Court the entire time you lived there and are pissed the fire department made you fix the death trap that it had become...

Once again, Joey always has an agenda... Political vendetta, perceived-slight vendetta, whatever...

You're a f*ckin' absolute douchebag Warren...

Sincerely,

Glad You Got The F*ck Out Of Aberdeen

P.S. Complaining about $5,000 stipends for the fire commissioners is f*cking ludicrous. They're the most senior fire department members who have volunteered for decades without compensation and saved the township millions with their service. They earned their spots as commissioners, and you're whining about $5,000... This is why no one likes you (which you seem to revel in, but I digress)...

And by the way, please refrain from referring to MARSD as "our" district. You don't live here anymore.

As for the offer to take a wager, I'd be happy to make that bet.

Joey,

So much for your info. O'Malley was approved last night and is leaving in Feb.

Anonymous said...

is there anywhere on the internet we can find it?

Joey thinks the internet always tells the truth......

Aberdeener said...

I was wrong. Looks like I'm out of the loop.

O'Malley was appointed last night to be superintendent of Edison.

Anonymous said...

And he sure deserved that big raise because he sincerely loves MARSD. Such loyalty

Anonymous said...

Ok Joey, here's the bet...

If O'Malley leaves MARSD within the next year, you shut down the Aberdeener for good...

Before you agree, I'll be fair and give you some quick facts as to why O'Malley will be packing his bags shortly...

First, your other hero, Governor Christie is seeking a salary cap for superintendents. Under Christie’s plan, salaries would range from $120,000 for a K-8 district with fewer than 250 students to $175,000 for a superintendent in a district with as many as 10,000 students.

Dr. Dick makes $185,000 now, after you and the other BOE morons gave him massive pay increases over the last two years.

The MARSD has 3,756 students. Under Christie's plan, Dr. Dick would be forced to take a massive pay cut to stay here.

But, if Dr. Dick goes to Edison, which has 13,928 students, he can maintain his salary. Further, under Christie's plan, he may be eligible for additional compensation at the discretion of the Middlesex County Superintendent's Office.

Like the other poster said, it's not about the kids, the schools, or the improvement of the MARSD to Dr. Dick. It's only about the money. That being said, while I don't care for Dr. Dick, I can't blame him for wanting to maintain his income for his family.

Indeed, the point all along has been that you and the BOE are the idiots who allowed Dr. Dick to fire dozens of members of your own community to pad his resume to leave the MARSD for "greener" pastures. You happily shoveled money into his pockets to sh*t all over your own community and then you left too. And, on top of all of it, you were naive and stupid enough to think all that money bought Dr. Dick's undying loyalty...

So, do we have a bet, or have you read the foregoing and re-considered your thoughts on Dr. Dick?

District Rife said...

It looks like Mr. Warren previous article about the firehouse touched a nerve with the district leadership. What did they do? Used their power to retaliate and fine him. I have made donations to this district for many years. I will not be donating them this year or in the future until there is a change in leadership. I am sorry for all of you good volunteer firefighters who serve us so loyally. I don't know what else the residents can do to effect change? I am concerned that the leadership is putting residents and firefighters at risk. Why the hell is Vinci still getting money, isn't the council money enough? Thank you Mr. Warren for keeping us residents informed.

O section Otto said...

why didnt they offer him a 500,000 dollar contract to stay?

He is the best.

he is awesome.

he is all knowing.

he is here for ALL OF US.

The BOE has a man crush on him.


I can hear them now on Crest Way- "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Anonymous said...

Oops, looks like while I was writing the above post, Joey's heart was just broken by Dr. Dick after all...

It would be funny, if Dr. Dick and Warren hadn't stopped by to sh*t on our community for two years only to pack their respective carpetbags and leave...

Joey's Memoirs said...

Joey Warren, June 22, 2009, "Why I Still Support Raises for the MARSD Executive Team"...

"Again, look at what O’Malley and Irons accomplished during their short tenure. Do we really want to run the risk of having them shop their resumes to other districts? If we lose them, not only do we lose two highly capable professionals, their replacements will likely cost at least 10% more than we’re currently paying."

Wow Joey...

Like your opponents said all along, the only goddamn thing you accomplished with those massive pay raises was costing Matawan and Aberdeen taxpayers "at least 10% more than we’re currently paying" to replace Dr. Dick. Not that you care, since you now live in New York...

You f*ckin' know-it-all idiot...

Hope Christie bails us taxpayers out with his superintendent pay cap. Not that you had the foresight to count on that, or to see that Dr. Dick was squeezing the MARSD BOE and padding his resume all along...

Bunch of f*cking incompetents, starting with you most of all...

Aberdeener said...

Dan,

You really need to calm down before you pop a vessel.

I only got the information re: O'Malley after the blog post.

He was contacted by a recruiter and offered a huge salary increase, which he took.

That's the entire story.

Cue Joey's Rationalization said...

Dan should calm down, huh Joey?

You're a f*ckin' moron. You let Dr. Dick sh*t all over your own community to pad his resume. Paid him handsomely for it. Packed your bags and left. Now, Dr. Dick is packing his bags.

We're all stuck with the mess you both left...

F*ck you and the New York high-horse you rode in and out on...

Anonymous said...

Folks,

Yes, Joey is an idiot and luckily he is gone. But we still have some board members who were up O'Malley's butt currently sitting on our board. How about it Chuck- still happy with what you have done?

GONE BABY GONE said...

Dr Dick's Edison coming out party to take a final dump on our community.

Aberdeener said...

Is it my imagination or did someone forget to lock the doors to the asylum?

The school board did its best to retain Dr. O'Malley.

In return, Dr. O'Malley did not pursue other positions.

Then someone offered Dr. O'Malley an opportunity he'd have been foolish to refuse.

The people complaining about him leaving are the same people who complained about him staying.

The focus should be on moving the district forward. My guess is Maragaret DeLuca will be considered for the superintendent position.

Since she costs less, the loudmouths should be thrilled.

Anonymous said...

Cant let him leave or next person will get a 10% raise on top of what Dr. O makes?

thats not true now with Christie's new law is it?

HEY ABERDEEN and MATAWAN - the BOE is wrong again -

Anon 9:32AM dosen't know what the hell he is talking about, the fire commissioners were hand picked by Lou and you'll notice that several were appointed for retiring commissioners. That was done for a reason, convince or should I say instruct the retiring commissioner to stick in for one more election so he can they retire and Lou can stick in who ever he has hand picked. They get a stipened for sitting on their asses and sign off on whatever Lou dictats. I have heard the whole place is going to pot anyway and soon your taxes will be paying for paid fireman at the rate Lou has brought the place down. I can say a lot of good things about Lou too Joey but if everyone knew what goes on there would be an uprising, unfortunately the commissioners are a bunch of pussies that let their employee (Lou) tell them what to do and when to do it.

Anonymous said...

Anon @ 10:57 a.m.,

I wholeheartedly agree. To help Aberdeener readers out, I have reviewed the Minutes of the June 25, 2009 BOE meeting where Dr. Dick & Co.'s massive pay raises were approved. The following should help voters going forward:

Gerry Donaghue, 6/25/09:
"Mr Donaghue stated that the positions of Superintendent and Business Administrator are very important." (Wow, insightful) "Mr Donaghue believes Dr. O'Malley and Ms. Irons deserve their raises because they are well qualifed and wants to see some consistency within the district." (and Gerry wanted to make sure the administrators were happy with him and his district-employed family members because he knew layoffs were coming soon.)

Martin Ruprecht, 6/25/09:
"Mr. Ruprecht is going to support the salary increases presented because he wants to look at the District as having a multiyear plan. There is a grace period the first year and can better judge results at this time next year." (This makes absolutely no sense) "Mr. Ruprecht believes Ms. Irons and Dr. O'Malley have shown commitment to the District." (Hahaha, Marty might want to rethink that reasoning now, huh?)

Charles Kenny, 6/25/09:
"Mr. Kenny has a unique opportunity to see what goes on in the District." (because he's always hanging around to make sure his kid's allergies are being uniquely addressed with nurses at every school on the taxpayer dime) "He believes in the teamwork between Dr. O'Malley and Ms. Irons." (How's that looking now, Chuck?) "The economy and hardship in this community is not lost upon him." (Yet, when it came to laying off dozens of residents nine months later, he chose to keep Dr. Dick happy and the special treatment for his kid flowing, instead of standing up for the janitors or teachers who were ultimately let go.)

Is it true that you have to be italian to be a fire commissioner. Is it true they want some kind of memorial there at taxpayer expense. How much do they pay the guy who stands outside and smokes most of the time when I walk by that place. What about the reserve monies and can it be used by the town council to lower debt. How about merging fire and ambulance people under one fee and one use. Cross train everyone if they want. I am too old now to join but that makes sense. I too credit their service but much like the council leadership it seems corrupt and wrongly controlled by a select few with no accountability. Let me have it now i'm ready.

Great find Anon @11:54 a.m...

For the ease of my fellow bloggers, here's a link to the Edison BOE President's Letter welcoming Dr. Dick as their new superintendent.

For those of you who don't have the time, here's the salient quotes from the Edison BOE President's Letter that show why Joey and his fellow BOE morons are trying to pull their feet out of their mouths long enough to eat the fifteen pounds of crow they've just been served...

"He will receive an annual salary of $210,000 to serve as chief executive of our $200-million enterprise. We propose to pay a salary befitting the state’s fifth-largest school system. Dozens of New Jersey districts smaller than Edison pay more than $200,000 to their superintendents—and even to their assistant superintendents and business administrators. The salary is guaranteed through June 30, 2012. After that, he will be eligible for annual raises of up to 2 percent until his contract expires on July 1, 2015. He will also be eligible for annual performance bonuses of up to 2 percent, which would be one-time payments that would not become part of his base salary."

Where was Joey and the BOE's 2% cap on merit raises in June 2009?

"Edison is one of the 16 or so districts in New Jersey with an enrollment of more than 10,000. These districts are permitted to exceed the $175,000 cap that the governor has proposed for school systems with enrollments under 10,000. The executive county superintendent approved the salary and the contract."

Boom Joey, what did your massive pay increases in June 2009 buy, certainly not loyalty...

All they did was raise the price of hiring Dr. Dick's replacement, unless Christie is able to bail us out of the hole you and your fellow idiots put us in...

All you jackasses can speculate all you want about Lou and the pussy commissioners, but let me tell you like it is. Its Lou's way or the highway. Lou made the fire department and will take it down at everyone's expense, no matter who gets hurt. I call the commissioners pussies because thats just what they are, NO BALLS. They are his boss and he rules the roost. He assaults a Firematic Officer on property and in front of at least two commissioners and what happens, NOTHING. What is going to happen in December when there are no officers with the exception of an inept Chief who can't get out of his own way let alone command a fire scene. What will the state or the county say about there being no firematic officers come January 1? Can you say tax payer money for paid firemen all because of Lou? If any one of the commissioners reads this as I'm sure it will make its way to you because Vinnie has nothing better to do with his time, you are all a bunch of PUSSIES and should be ashamed of yourselves. All the power in the world and don't know how to use it because your all a bunch of PUSSIES. Reap the benefits of your stipen at the tax payers expense while you pay a secretary more than a fire inspector and expect that same secretary to run for firematic office and he can't hear a phone ring let alone a life saving communication over a radio. As a resident of Aberdeen, I have a right to run for commissioner, however it can never happen. Word has it that the next commissioner up for election is going to retire once he is re-elected so Lou can once again put his next hand picked pussy in place.

WHOOOOAAAA wait a second -

Joey you said you believed that DeLuca will take over?? She has recently got her license in the past year.

HOW CAN THEY SPEND 18,000 dollars !!!! a few years back to find Dr. O and now just hire from within so easily? 18,000 dollars divided by the 3 years he was here was another 6000 spent on the man. And judging by Christie's new standards of payment - he was over paid and over compensated - and because he left so early on - a WASTE OF 18,000 dollars.... I am not blaming you for that you were not on the BOE yet -

But the INCUMBANTS SPENTS 18000!!!!!!!!!! to find Dr. O.... = what a mess

Is Greg Farley (Tech director) going with him? There's a man with no vision costing the district plenty. Got rid of all the computer teachers and put in Promethean boards that most teachers don't know how to use and not all teachers have. Now let's buy handheld eReaders for the whole 3rd grade. Who is going to oversee the repair and loss? Did anyone ask the teachers if this is needed? More tax money wasted! Plus he just got his doctorate- how much is HIS raise? Wake up Board people!

Anonymous said...

ONCE AGAIN - just like in government - INCUMBANTS must go starting with this year -

The seat Joey gave up and was replaced by someone no one ever heard of and without any contest from the public - probably because it was done so "hush hush".... did anyone even know to put in the paper work to apply besides a friend of a friend on the BOE?? fishy to me

I believe Rubino is out.

Marty R. - I am not sure

and everyone's favorite know it all, lawyer, and defender of the 1st Amendment - Chucky Kenny in Matawan is up for re-election.

In Chucky's defense he ran unopposed last time - and I thank him for his volunteering his time - but this BOE needs a facelift.

Anonymous said...

I am sure that the "Board of Special Ed" will direct their puppet Chuck Kenney on who is to be the next Superintendent. If it was up to him, he would give the job to sue irons. I just wonder how long Kenney will drone on behind the microphones now. ugh.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

That really does look like a mighty tasty crow sandwich you got there Joey.


Norm and I were just discussing how you must really feel like a dumbass, giving your smug little answers, and, as usual, thinking you are always right, only to find out how much you really don't know.

What did it feel like Joey? How did it feel to find out that you're really not all knowing after all? To find out that your "hero" is just another shitbag looking for a payout? Isn't it ironic that the post that exposes you for how ignorant you truly are attracts more traffic, in a shorter time than anything you've put out in a long time? Oh yeah, that's right, it's only because of the teachers convention.

Let's indulge ourselves in grand comspiracy theories. What's to say there is not a likewise cooperative operative hosting an "Edisoner" blog or beginning one right now as we speak! I'm sure there are competing factions on every BOE in the state whose names can be joined in sinister BAZRA-like acronyms. Its simple, name them, and then demonize them till they quit and pave the path for hand picked members who will rubber stamp the Super's salary increases. Don't jump down my throat now, I said it was just a conspiracy theory!

Dear arrogant dipwad (that's you Joey)I just wanted to remind your readers that:
1. You, Kenney, and Donohue gave a 9 percent to raise to an administrator while 30 (or so)employees, with mouths to feed, were let go AND while people of this town were losing their homes to high taxes.
I want to drive that point home so you know what a weasel you are. And since you are probably still not listening let me say again.
You, Kenney, and Donohue gave a 9 percent to raise to an administrator while 30 (or so)employees, with families,were let go AND while people of this town were losing their homes to high taxes.
I sincerely hope that Kenney, Donohue and the other BOE members who were played by Dr. Dick are booted from the board. Kenney should be booted for impersonating a human being. Donohue should be booted just because he is a GOLD plated moron who used his position to get his wife a permanent job.
Now please, since you longer live here stop calling this trash rag blog the Aberdeener. That name is reserved for people who actually live in Aberdeen.

Football score Kauff and corruption said...

MatawanS football TEAM won 46-0.

People are slamming Joey Warren for giving us some insight into the Kauff corruption and his right to have an opinion on education and all the while allowing us to discuss, blame and criticize the leadership that is so illegally and ineptly run in our towns and the school system.

Matk Coren is still in prison and hopefully getting done to him what he sought to do children over and over again..

The Kauff investigation is underway and will hopefully send him and his cronies to the big house..

SO ONCE AGAIN ALL IS RIGHT IN KAUFFVILLE!

Joey, in case you didn't hear me, that was 30 or so employees with families and mouths to feed that YOU, KENNEY and DONOHUE decided were expendable. I hope you all sleep well at night.

Aberdeener said...

Anon,

You're wrong. If you want to know why the custodians lost their jobs, ask the teachers union who refused to negotiate in good faith.

In case you forgot, we didn't have the money and the people of Aberdeen and Matawan didn't want us to raise taxes.

In fact, when I let the entire community know what was about to happen, I don't remember you or anybody else coming up with a way to save the custodians because the teachers union refused to accept a one-year pay freeze.

Anonymous said...

Aberdeener,

I thought the board voted unanimously to layoff the Janitors? Can you do that with three votes out of nine?

Aberdeener said...

Anon,

You're correct. The vote was unanimous and it was taken months after the teachers union had been notified we were contemplating outsourcing the custodial unit.

The teachers union knew we'd be saving $1 million from outsourcing. We offered to meet the union halfway and only request $500,000 in savings from union concessions. As Rubino said at the time, the union wasn't even close. The union's offer was so low, it was insulting.

We had also made the union a prior offer, an unbelievable sweetheart deal before we learned about all the state cuts, and that's the offer the public doesn't know about.

Tigers Got Wood said...

The newest political faction of the board Kenwa has left some legacy. Raises in bad economic times, money spent for a super search only to last three years, drastic increase in business office staff and salaries, a lame duck superintendent for three months, an inexperienced superintendent as the next best choice, three schools not making AYP and placed on Early Warning List, under-reported drug reports, custodians gone, gave us the new tech director, Donaghue family jobs and benefits, teachers not under contract, bad moral throughout the district, more nurses, graduation rates and SAT scores still suck, special ed special interests, many can't afford to live here - including Joey. Oh yeah, but we do have a new mission and vision statement.

Anonymous said...

Thank God for Joey. Could you imagine just how messed up the district would be if there wasn't a new vision statement? The thought makes me shudder.

Aberdeener said...

I can understand why you remain anonymous. Anyone who denigrates the importance of a properly worded mission statement is obviously an ignoramus.

Tigers Got Wood said...

Why so negative? That was put on the list as a positive from the Kenwa era of destruction.

Hugh G. Rexion said...

You're right as usual Joey. Nothing is more important than a mission statement. Private janitors are so much better, and best of all, O'Malley is staying on as superintendant, because he cares so much.

Anonymous said...

Who could Hugh G. Rexion be?

Anonymous said...

Teachers were more concerned for their own pockets than the laying off of the janitors. That is a fact...Joey is right. You may not like this answer but ask any teacher why they wouldn't accept a pay freeze for a year? Social Security seniors didn't get a small cost of living increase 2010 and 2011. The premiums for Medicare were increased and will be increased again in 2011. Seniors have contributed to the system. Congress gave themselves a pay increase and better healthcare. Did the teacher take a page out of the book Congress uses? I guess so!

Hugh G. Rexion said...

The union scumbagged the janitors. That's a fact. Joey Warren also scumbagged them, so don't be fooled by his " I cared, and I tried " bullshit. He thinks he's better than the janitors, just like the union bigshots do. They don't like the fact that the janitors made a decent wage. Elitists, like Warren and Kosmyna think that only those with college degrees should make more than minimum wage.

Furthermore, before some moron says it, nope, not a janitor.

Where is Nsection is all of this? I would have bet money to see something on here from him....

I am actually interested to hear his point of view and give him a chance to be an independent thinker....

For the record - this is not a diss on him....

matawaner said...

From what I heard was that the teachers would have agreed to a pay freeze IF the board would gaurantee no lay offs. They refused (the BOE) to put it in writing so the union refused to agree, the BOE also ignored multiple requests for meetings.(public knowledge) I do not blame the union one bit, since this BOE has been so honest and are such stand up people.
Joey, remember there is always someone around who knows when you are spewing BS and that a lot of people around here know that Joeys facts arent always facts at all.
Not making a deal with the devil doesnt make them evil it makes them wise.
(and no I am not a member of the TE union) I'm sure that accusation would folloe soon.I am also not anonymous anymore....not anymore than the others who us an ID.

Aberdeener said...

Hey Matawaner,

Sounds like the people you're speaking to read my blog.

Here's what I wrote in March.

"Mr. Kosmnya also stated the union was prepared to make concessions in exchange for a written guarantee of no layoffs, as if that were a possibility with a $7 million shortfall."

Anonymous said...

So you wanted the teachers to agree to a pay freeze to save the janitors but you wouldn't give the teachers any assurances that their own jobs would be safe. I see you are a cracker jack negotiator.

FD PD KAUFF JIM VIN CORRUPTION said...

BigJoe may be waiting for his subpoena to arrive. If I was a town employee I would not say a word until I was served one and then I would tell everything I know. People like NSec and most every employee within town hall know the truth of the FD corruption, the PDs $$$$4.5M budget for Aber-Maybery RFD-deen that is way too costly. Finally and of course it goes without saying the leader of all that is corrupt, illegal and unethical our own Norman-F the taxpayers at every turn- Kauff, CM&E and the lawyers that Kauff gets big $$$ from all watch this blog each day. But don't worry cause all the FD guys that really know what is going on and the so telling and weird fact is that two corrupt leadership groups in Aberdeen both have Vinny Vinci and Jimmy Laro on the team that screw the taxpayers. It is like the Sopranos only better. We only have to pay thousands in unnecessary taxes to King Kauff rather than a cable or dish company.

Anonymous said...

He does his job and that is why all who work for the town cannot say a word like Joe MC. Let them go to lay off or furlough one employee and the tables will turn on Kauff and all the rest and it will be more then him. They all know where the bodies are buried. Right Norm?

To be fair I could mention the others who voted for that raise along with YOU, KENNEY and DONOHUE. But I won't.

I have a question-

If Dr. O'Malley leaves now - for going the 60 days wait period and the BOE allows it - Does that save the district money?

quick math 185,000 \ 12 months is 15400 per month - if he leaves now
Nov = 15400 - Dec. = 15400 Jan =15400 = GRAND TOTAL of 46,000 saved as we search for a new super...

am I right on this? 46,000 saved if we allow him to leave now?

Dr. Dick is all about the kids... apparently his own kids... and the money. He and the special education board took the money from the tax payers. The board gave him everything he wanted and now he takes the money and runs.

Great work by the dynamic 9.

I agree, Dr. O'Malley is a smart man, who wouldn't take that job offer. Apparently the Edison district sees his value and made him that offer. I only wish the idiots in this district didn't make it so difficult for him all along and choose to work against him at every turn. It's amazing how people around here continue to destroy this district at the expense of the kids, all for their own power, and self conceived worth. Dr. O'Malley raised the bar for our children, and I am very sorry to see him go.

I hope everyone realizes there are two fire districts that make up the fire department. Whatever happened took place in district 1 NOT district 2 which covers cliffwood and cliffwood beach.

Matawaner said...

The only bar O'Malley raised was his own. I think if Mr. warren goes back a year or 2 somewhere on this page more than 1 person stated O'Malley was here to use us a a stepping stone on his way to the top. I guess those people were dead on. Do I blame the guy, absolutely not this is his career. Who I am angry at, are the people like Joey who are still spewing the "he did so much for us" crap. The "he was so wonderful" crap. "He is all about the kids" crap. Still they have their heads so far up this mans ass it is scarey.

So, Joe you admit you wanted to union to take a pay freeze without the garuntee that it would save jobs? You honestly can't be that much of a moron can you? WHO in the world would agree to that?

The thing of course that still angers me so much is the amount of $ you and the board agreed to for him and sue for raises. THAT Mr.Warren isthe biggest disgrace of all, and the fact that you still think the BOE made the right choice.

ANONYMOUS FOR NOW said...

ONCE AGAIN THE ATTACKS CONTINUE AGAINST MR. WARREN, DR. O'MALLEY AND OTHERS IN LEADERSHIP. I DO NOT BLAME DR. O'MALLEY FOR LEAVING ABERDEEN TO HEAD UP THE EDISON SCHOOL DISTRICT. NONE OF US WOULD TURN DOWN A 25K RAISE AND IN LIGHT OF THE MUCH NEEDED CHANGES THAT GOVERNOR CHRISTIE NEEDS TO MAKE TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING TO TRY AND GET EVEN JUST A MINOR CHANGE TO HELP US TAXPAYERS AND THE ILL CONCEIVED SYTEM THAT IS BASED ON PROPERTY TAXES BEING THE DRIVING FORCE TO FUND EVERYTHING FROM THE SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT NO ONE REALLY CHECKS THE CHECKS AND BALANCES IN A BLOATED CORRUPT POLITICAL SYSTEM THAT IS JUST ONE OF THE MAJOR FUNDING DRAINS THAT OUR POLITICAL LEADERSHIP SHOULD HAVE LOOKED INTO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PUSH PINS AND NEEDLES INTO GOVERNOR CHRISTIE WHO POINTS THE FINGER OF BLAME ON THE TOO DEEPLY ENTRENCHED AND BEHOLDING POLITICIANS IN TRENTON AND BEYOND. THEY SEEK TO BLAME GOVERNOR CHRISTIE FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY THEMSELVES CREATED AND FAILED TO MONITOR PROPERLY IN EXCHANGE FOR SUPPORT FROM SPECIAL INTERESTS, COCKROACH LOBBYISTS, TOO POWERFUL AND POLITICALLY FEARED UNIONS WHO CARE LITTLE FOR THE CHILDREN THEY HOLD OUT LIKE ORPHANS THAT GOVERNOR CHRISTIE WANTS TO ABUSE AND STARVE.

THE LIES, DECEIT, TREACHERY, ABUSE OF POWER AND MALFEASANCE IN OFFICE HAS NOT BEEN PERPETRATED BY GOVERNOR CHRISTIE, DR. O'MALLEY OR MR. WARREN WHO GETS SPEARED AND CRITICIZED BY THOSE LIKE THE NORMAN KAUFF SUPPORTERS AND HANGERS ON, JANITORS WHO REALLY NEED TO BLAME THEIR OWN UNION NEGOTIATORS AND THE TEACHERS WHO SYMPATHIZED WITH THEM AS THEY WERE PUT OUT OF JOBS THAT THEY WERE TOO COMFORTABLE AND LAZY IN. THAT IS THE TRUTH THAT THEY THEMSELVES KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE WASTHE CAUSE OF THAT PRIVATIZATION CHOICE.

WHAT I STILL FIND IRONIC IS THAT PEOPLE LIKE NORMAN KAUFF AND HIS PUPPETS ON THE COUNCIL AND OTHER NORMAN KAUFF CONTROLLED BOARDS DO THE KAUFF BIDDING WITHOUT QUESTION OR EVEN ONE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE FROM WITHIN TO THE CORRUPTLY OVERCHARGED TAXPAYERS. THE FIGHT THAT WILL SOON BE UNDERWAY WHEN THE TOWN EMPLOYEES FINALLY WAKE UP SINCE THE EMPLOYEES KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING TWISTED AND ROTATED ON A POLITICAL FIRE SPIT AND WILL BE PUBLICLY ROASTED LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT. THAT FIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENS WILL BE BLOODY AND I HOPE FAR TOO PUBLIC FOR NORMAN KAUFF AND HIS MANY PUPPETS TO HIDE FROM OR MAKE EXCUSES FOR.

I AM AN OLDER MAN AND HAVE SEEN MUCH IN MY SIXTY SIX YEARS AND TWENTY SIX YEARS IN TOWN. I HOPE THAT NORMAN KAUFF AND HIS GROUP ARE THE ONES PUBLICLY SHOWN FOR THE CORRUPT PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE. IT IS TIME FOR JUST ONE PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON TO COME FORWARD, BE SWORN, STAND UP AND TELL WHAT THEY KNOW.

LET US PRAY IT HAPPENS SOON FOR ALL OUR SAKES.

MY RETIREMENT FINALLY COMES ON JANUARY ONE AND MAYBE I WILL START A BLOG SINCE MR. WARREN IS LEAVING OUR TOWN. I DO THANK HIM FOR HIS BRAVERY AND I SCOLD THOSE WHO CHOSE TO SKEWER HIM AS THOUGH HE CAUSED ALL THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN OUR MIDST AND THAT HURTS US EVERYDAY. I MAY BE A COOK AND WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY WHO DEEP INSIDE ME THINK ITS TIME ONE OR ALL OF US SAY WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE LIKE NORMAN KAUFF TO RUIN OUR TOWN THROUGH HIS POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND OBVIOUS GREED.

Anonymous said...

If you had children in the school district these past few years, you would see that the level of education was raised. And anyone with half a brain would realize it takes more than a year or two to see the results of the higher curriculum in our kids test scores. Once a kid is behind, it takes so much more time to get them back up to the level they should be at, since they need to work twice as hard to learn past information plus current information. I hope the current direction forward the district is moving, with Dr. O'Malley's leadership, doesn't change now that we are losing him.

Aberdeener said...

Matawaner,

I can't believe you're this dense. Read the quote again. We had a seven million dollar budget shortfall. There was no way to save every single job in the district. But a pay freeze would have saved every custodial job in the district.

If you had an idea how to save every single job without raising taxes, you should've told us back in March.

Norman Kauff is a PIMP said...

I figured it out the other day. It came to me suddenly and most clearly. Like a shot it came into my brain allowing me to put the leadership and corruption in Aberdeen all into proper order.

Norman Kauff is a PIMP!

Norman Kauff peddles politically corrupt flesh that is no different or less repulsive than the women and children in the sex slave industry enslaved to men like our corrupt Norman Kauff or as we should all now refer to him now and forever Aberdeens #1 PIMP.

Norman Kauff uses his political prostitutes in the same way he just uses them to satisfy the greed of developers and huge political contributors that keep the #1 PIMP from kicking his ass. Kauff just keeps pimping his political operatives to keep the CME PIMP DADDY at CME happy and rich with taxpayer cash.

So if you see a new flashy car with big fuzzy dice and shag carpeting on the dashboard parked on Injustice Lane you will know where the Aberdeen Pimp Daddy Norman Kauff lives.

You can be damn sure that when you work for Pimp Daddy Norman Kauff you better have his money. Not some, not part but all of Pimp Daddy Norman Kauffs money.

Right Pimp Daddy

All i can say is wow. I love the pimp post and it is most importantly 100% true. Funny and true. keep it up everyone. All Kauff 24-7 works for me. Anyone hear if John Gartley may run the republican party soon. Anyone that is not Nick Minutulo works for me.

That would be some really good shit man.

Mrs. Kauff is here too.

Even Mrs K. wants to get away from the Kauff drug.

Time for our local politicians to go to Kauff and CM&E rehab and get off the drug that is Norman Kauff.

Somebody tell Aberdeener that he is no longer part of the "we" since he has moved out of town.

Just a thought....

all the bitching and infighting couldn't POSSIBLY have encouraged Dr. O to accept an offer elsewhere.

Don't do this to his replacement.

There was no infighting with O'Malley, he spoke and they all kissed his ring and did exactly what he wanted.

Joey, it's time to remind your readers that you, Kenney and Donohue gave a 9 per cent raise to an administrator while 30 or so employees of the district were let go AND while people of this community were losing homes to high taxes.
Did I mention Marty RUPRECHT also had a hand in giving a 9 per cent raise to an administrator while 30 or so employees of the district were let go AND people in this town were losing their homes to high taxes. I wonder what RUPRECHT got out of the deal. We know what DONOHUE got - a permanent paid position with benefits for his wife.

If a raise up to 185K and contract extension, when people where getting laid off didn't make him stay, nothing would have made him stay

I love the Kauff drug posting. Too bad Kauff is like a drug for all the supposed leadership who saddle up and do his corrupt bidding without one of them questioning the negative affects on the taxpayers and quality of life of the residents and businesses.

I see the latest corrupt Kauff campaign account from yet another questionable Kauff controlled and manipulated developer deal is in place for the latest corrupt Kauff campaign version 2012. So glad those political ethics classes for the newly elected Aberdeen leadership really took hold. They are a joke each and every one of them that sit like deaf, dumb and blind baboons at the feet of the corruption king Norman Kauff.

Kauff rules?

For now?

Bus time got to go.

F you Kauff.

Demerest and Rubino. How come you did not help us janitors? You said you would try to help. You just voted with the rest to get rid of us. Talk all you want about the raises, but you let us down. I may not like Warren but at least he told the truth. You lied! Carl, we know that you used us. I hope you get shit for your raise.

This was supposd to be about the FD. Instead it's a never ending thread about the B of E (O'Mally, BarZa, janitors, etc). With the ever present Kauff thrown in for seasoning.

So you don't care about some guy from NY. What of the posts from those who do live here, and would like to be better informed about the goings on in the firehouse, and are tired of all the rantings about recent history at the BOE. Give us a break!!! I was given a call that there were some posts about the corrupt firehouse, and I have to read through all this mindless drivel and rantings from people with nothing better to do than spout off about the same subject over and over.

Let's hear from those who know what is going on at the firehouse.

Vinci is transfering his property?!!! Must be a sign that he wants to limit his contribution when the "Old Man" retires. Of course his plan is get injured on the job, and sue the pants off the District.

The rest of you Commissioners should take heed!!!

Don't call it a Keystone Fire Department. I have VOLUNTEERED in this department for over 15 years. You think you can do better than us. JOIN!!! I am sick and tired of some anonymous jerk coming on here and bashing us. These men give up their time for nothing in return. We risk our lives every time our pagers go off. We deal with interupted dinners, holidays, birthdays, and sleep for the betterment of the people in this town. You have an opinion about how things are run financially that has nothing to do with the companies it has to do with the districts. You have a problem with the way we fight fires then quit badmouthing us on this blog an join. I know i will get attacked for this post but it is long overdue.

Citizen with FD ? said...

I have a question for the real firefighters on here. Is the $680k in your welfare fund for firemen to use as they wish or as suggested to purchase new fire equipment? I thought fire departments bonded or set up payment plans for truck costs?

I ask you to please explain such a huge amount of money for me as I am troubled with such a huge amount of money being placed in the hands of shall we say questionable leaders. Leaders who seem more like an organized crime syndicate to be truthful. Many would have to admit that there have been numerous problems exemplified on here that give some proof of the whispers around town for too many years of the questionable choices in leadership. Leadership that seems based on years of service rather than ones honesty and knowledge of managing such a huge amount of money. I gave to all of you the last time you were in the street collecting. With such an amount of money why stand in traffic?

One final question. Is the $680k listed in your publications and budgets dispersals to the public? I don't ever remember seeing that number listed in any reserve account on your last budget. I await your response to my questions. Thank you for your time.

Anonymous said...

If you click on the link by where that is mentioned in the post it brings you to where its listed in the budget. Thats not a welfare fund. Its part of the fire comissioners District #1 Budget.

Anonymous said...

To answer your other questions every fire company purchases trucks in a different manner. They can be bonded out however it is more cost effective to save up monies in reserve and put a large portion down. Most dealers will knock offmoney for large down payments. As for the collecting on the street that money goes to the fire COMPANY not the DISTRICT.

Anonymous said...

Leave the volunteers out of this mess, it is the District #1 Commissioners and the District Chief that have befallen this once great and respected company. There are some volunteers/members that don't have an issue with burying their nose in the district's ass or will turn the other way when backhanded deals take place but they all know who they are and amount to nothing. You don't have to be Italian to be a commissioner or a member of the department for that matter, any resident of Aberdeen that falls in the District #1 boundry is within their right to run but you can bet your bottom dollar that the District Chief will see to it that you don't have a chance in winning. Commissioner positions are locked up for several years from now so don't waste your time. Here's how it works, a commissioner that plans on retiring, the District Chief makes him run for another term and then instructs him to retire and this way the District Chief can place an individual of HIS choosing in the retire's place. As for the volunteers/members, there is no one better and all should be commended for what they do for this community but as the more the District Chief and Commissioners continue their back room deals the more members they lose. Please understand that the money from the boot drives and the annual soliciting letters goes directly to the betterment of the COMPANY and the district has NO contact with those funds.

FD Advocate said...

You know what would be nice.....

If someone from the District, a Commissioner maybe, were to get on this blog, and post some explanations or answers, and exibit some leadership by placing the FACTS front and center instead of all thes opinions I've been reading.

Instead of complaining about the entries in the blog set them straight!!!

Don't do it! I have been there. Aberdeener and his crazed followers do not listen to reason. Whatever you say will be twisted and turned against you. You want to hear from the commissioner, go to a meeting.

Ain't that the truth. The moron that runs this site, and his few followers will twist everything around that does not fall in step with their agenda.

Aberdeener said...

In other words, those in the position to know the facts and make changes shouldn't subject themselves to public criticism.

Great advice. I'm sure every defense attorney would say the same thing.

Anonymous said...

Aberdeener thats not true. They are subject to public criticism at their meetings. That is the proper forum not on a blog. Just my opinion. May not not be yours but it is mine. You want answers to your questions ask them at a meeting not on a blog. Half of them probably dont know how to turn a computer on.

Aberdeener said...

Anon,

I disagree. I've not been to any commissioner meetings but I've been to plenty of council meetings, school board meetings, and a couple of planning board meetings and they are definitely not the venue for any in depth discussions.

For the most part, the governing board deflects or obfuscates. Generally, only the meeting chair addresses any questions.

You've seen on rare occasions public officials post articles on this blog. That kind of articulate reasoning will not be found at a public meeting where public representatives are often ill-prepared to answer questions and time is of the essence.

As a school board member, I never hesitated to address the community through this blog and I don't see any reason why other elected officials can't as well.

We will have to agree to disagree then.

How come we rarely hear any praise for the fire companies on this site. Any mistake made gets disected tdown to the smallest level. Dont think i have ever read anyone saying great job. Unsung heroes!! If you are going to bash them as much as you do you could at least praise them once in a while. They are volunteers after all.

Aberdeener said...

Then you're not familiar with the comments. Our volunteers have been loudly and frequently praised on this blog.

Hugh G Rexion said...

Joey, your landlord's property taxes support the FDNY, not the ATHC. Therefore, what goes on the ATHC does not pertain to you in any way, shape, or form.
Your residence is located in the City of New York, not the Twp. of Aberdeen.
If (more likely when) one of your neighbors gets fed up with your bullshit, and beats you up, the NYPD, not the ATPD, will respond.
Your license plates, and all other motor vehicle docs are issued by the State of New York, not the State of New Jersey.
You don't live in Aberdeen
You don't live in Monmouth County
You don't even live in New Jersey

WTF do you insist on calling yourself the Aberdeener?

Aberdeener said...

Hugh,

The name of the blog is Aberdeener. The issues posted pertain to Aberdeen.

You are always welcome to refer to me as Mr. Warren.

Smoker guy went away or said...

I praise the volunteers. I despise their corrupt and too *connected* leaders. Age does not make one a leader it makes leeches from the embarrassment of the Chief and his arrogant *my way or the highway* that does not have local companies respecting our department much less the fellow old guys who get paid just to let him run wild. Time for young blood in there.By the way what happened to the older smoking fire guy. He should just move his desk out to the front of the building since he spends so much time there every day. Everybody is keeping a close eye on this house and the money that is questionably *controlled*. Tired of the Taj Mahal that place has become anyway. What is next put in a senior fireman's home so the old guys in *control* can keep getting checks until death. Attack away.

Still the same FD said...

Some of us know the firehouse is too connected. Our firehouse is little more than a mafia crime organization parading around as a volunteer firefighter group. Sure most of our members are honest hard working volunteers. But the eight or ten who pull the strings are all strangely handpicked, friends, relatives, political connected and controlled, Chief Lou controlled and worse that unjustly allows the old guy to run wild intimidating and assaulting those who dare to question the all mighty Chief Lou. That firehouse needs a good cleaning, new members with younger blood and a real good accounting of where the money really goes and is. Too much back room dealings, no bid work. But he's Chief Lou and Chief Lou does what Chief Lou wants. That must stop before even more younger members leave the house. We know the contractors who do work at our house do work on the same houses as those who approve our firehouse funds payments for house lawns, repairs and major additions. What is going on in our house is shameless, embarrassing and corrupt just like the mafia. Time for a change unless the comms start fighting fires.

Wheres the FD posts now??? said...

It appears the post above this one has gotten no responses. Is it possible that it highlights everything that is right and wrong with that building? Many questions but not one response. This post subject garnered lots of attention and mounted much defense but since that post on the 18 th of November nothing. I think it hit the nail on the head. There are major problems that the main culprits don't want in the public domain. It seems.

Time to clean F D house said...

Looks like a shhhhh order has been imposed on members who know the dirty little secrets of the firehouse and their corrupt and overpaid leaders.

Notice how no one said nothing about the $680,000.00

Imagine those corrupt bastards being in control of $$$

All is lost for the once honored volunteers in that house

Time for Chief Lou Auriemarrogance to go.

CHIEF AURIEMMARROGANCE IS THE 100 % F'N TRUTH!

Anonymous said...

Lou aint going anyplace. He was a positive force there years ago but now he is just an old man who does not know when his sun is setting. The other old men only protect him for all he knows of their own wrongs to not get public. They keep him in place and give him a car so he thinks he is still someone in town. They do that Just so he does not tell on all of them for all they did wrong. It is a small club and they can have it, Crooks all of them and i know it. Brotherhood my ass. It is a crime what they have done and kept secret. I'm gone and i'm glad. They can keep him until he puts his hands on another member. What will the excuse be then.

King Lou needs to go said...

Ooh i'm telling. King Lou is going to be mad. That means that the old man will be telling someone what to do even though he is not qualified to tell anyone how to even put out a match. They better up the insurance at the next good sized fire since so much unnecessary damage happened at the last one much less mutual aid houses not wanting to deal with King Lou. And the idiot commissioners know it but don't have a set between them. I'm so glad I am gone. Good luck to those who stay and put up with King Lou and the commissioners garbage and hijinks.

Caps idiot actually makes sense this time. What the hell is a district chief anyway? And, why, if one is so necessary, are they the only house around with one? I thought these were lean times.

Lou needs to go NOW! said...

It is not about lean times.

It is only about rewarding Lou & keeping his silence.

Got to keep Lou happy or the commissioners fall.

Lou knows too much illegal stuff that all the commissioners have all done or most of them have been involved in and keeping their silence on.

To not keep Lou happy means commissioner suicide.

The only volunteer firehouse in Monmouth County with a paid guy like Lou.

That says it all for many of us tired of that type of flawed and corrupt leadership.

Watch closely when Kauff and his minions fall.

So to the firehouse is sure to follow.

Far to many cushy arrangements in that firehouse.

The human chimney is another costly nothing job.

Must be nice?

Right Lou.

Who is the district chief over in Cliffwood?

Anonymous said...

Cliffwood doesn't have a "District Chief" they have a Fire Chief.

Anonymous said...

So why is that Chief there? It's time for him to go and that is the truth. Old guys like him should retire and leave the residents and business people alone. Some people just can't let go of positions of power that makes them feel important. He is the poster boy for that statement. I am sure he has the dirt on people and that keeps him in that taxpayer funded car and bothering people unchecked since he is the top banana. For now that is.

Anonymous said...

Were the new flagpoles at the firehouse donated? They look great. I hope they decide to put up a POW flag also. Are they going to put up anything else there? Maybe a homage' to illegal poker games, fire chiefs assaulting junior members or a running tote board of the moneys the public knows nothing about. Maybe the town could use that money to lower our taxes.

Beach Product said...

Why doesn't Cliffwood have a district chief? Wrong side of the Parkway? Is there still a double standard in town? Or, more likely,is it a made up position that should be immediately abolished?

F D lacking leadership said...

It is time an official investigation is conducted of the finances and leadership or what seems to be the lack of leadership in the whole situation that has been exposed on here. Much like the unethical town leadership it seems that money corrupts leadership for our first responders as well. Arrogance is pervasive in that building as well and the leadership like the council hopes ignoring such disclosing posts won't do anything to their corrupt little boys club. The whole thing seems to be a coverup to keep one of the La Cosa Nojobs happy and having some false sense of power as though he is still relevant and needed. He is not needed and the leadership know it.

Anonymous said...

Theres ALWAYS been a double standard in this town. Cliffwood,especially the beach, gets forgotten 90% of the time.

Leadership????? said...

Just like the two vehicles they stole that leaked on here. Greed seems to be the key in that fire house. That and keeping what is really going on from the public or denying the greedy reality that even inside membership shows really exists. Who is going to answer the calls when the king pushes out the members who really fight the fires. Leadership needs to finally rise above all the personal ties and years of cover ups.

Anonymous said...

Who's gonna answer the calls you ask? The same ones that got shafted for the SUV. God help you if you live in Strathmore, especially the F,O, or J sections and your house catches fire.
