Um I'm not sure if you can sue. Actually Paul LaClair could answer that question for you better than anyone else on this board. I to maybe facing knee surgery damaged cartlidge and torn miniscus in my left knee. Slip and fall on a construction site.

Did'nt vote for Bush numbnuts. I voted for Kerry, Although I will not vote for Barack E Urkel. My God the guy looks like a cross between Alfred E Neuman and Steve Urkel. Yeah I want him for president " Did I do that"

You people make me laugh, You believe that Obama will be the Savior of the USA. That somehow once he's elected he's going to bring down the price of gas not only can't he do it he won't, That Obama will end the war in Iraq not only won't but can't stop the war. My predictions should Obama become president, Gas will continue to rise in cost, the war in Iraq will continue and we'll be at war with Iran before his term is up. Of course you take your rant from the Liberal rag the Seattle times

Was'nt it Carter who screwed up the 1979 Iran hostage rescue and was'nt it Clinton who let the chief Saudi Terrorist OBL slip through his fingers. Were'nt they both Democrats.

In the case of the town of Kearny you have the Engineer, Architect,and General contractor. What you need to understand is that once the school board decides to build either a new buidling or improvements on an existing structure, The school board will bring the proposal to a Architect to design the project along with an engineering firm, From there a dollar amount will be assigned to the project in terms of what it will cost to build or repair. At this point the School board will put out to bid the project. The contractor with the lowest bid wins, the GC will put out a bid then for subcontractors or rehire subs they have worked with in the past. Material purchased are done so by the different building trades, this is where the engineer comes in he/she will approve or disprove the material suppliers. Again low bid gets the job. Whether Mr.Stevenson tells his fellow board members or not is up to him. If any board member does not understand the inner workings of how construction practices are done, they do not belong on the board.

What about Italian sausage could that be used. What brand of red beans would you recommend I've tried Goya but have always found them to be a little tough. As soon as I remember where I put my chili recipe I'll post it up.

Quit being ignorant and look it up. apparently you know how to use a computer

No what I think I was trying to say is that I belive in a higher power creating evolution,the planet stars and universe. but if science could prove without any lingering doubt that they have the answer to how evolution began or how the planet,stars and universe were created, than I'd be more than willing to say that I was wrong in my thinking.

If and I say If the SCC is involved in any school construction it is being overseen by the DCA thats the Department of Community Affairs in other words the State of NJ. When the SCC gets involved in school construction the local planning board and BOE have very little input if any. All plans are approved by the DCA prior to construction. As for the materials end of it the SCC and the DCA require that the General contractor of the site hire an independent construction testing labratory. The testing lab will oversee all aspects of the construction making sure the structural engineers specifications are followed to the letter. Also the inspection lab will do daily spot checks on the construction such as testing the strucural steel by magnetic or magnaflux inspection, welds, bolting is checked. Concrete being poured will be sampled and sent in to the lab for compressive strength testing. Backfill being placed will be checked for moisture content, for density and compaction. I know this because I work for a construction testing labratory for the past 18 years and am involved in the construction of several schools around the state of NJ. Like I said if the SCC is involved the local BOE has no say in the daily building of a school.

In response to your inquiry " Letter to the Editor" Yes. School impact is also another of mine. The mayor has even called me a dedicated pain in his ass.As for Paskiewicz he's in serious need of mental health help, dinosaurs on Noahs Ark come on. I'm not disagreeing with you on Evolution it happened. I've been to the Museum of natural history in NYC, as I am a avid fossil and mineral collector. However my belief is that a higher power whether he be God,Buddha,Allah or as I commonly call him/her Bob. My belief is that this higher power created Evolution and the planet as a whole, Not in 7 days but rather in over a millenia. What I require is the scientific data that tells me without any doubt that evolution is behind the whole shooting match from big bang to today,As far as I know there is no such test. Why did I skip the other points I'm not denying that man evolved from a primative being, I never bought into the hype that man is created in gods image. I've always had issue with mainstream chrisianity such as how do you explain if you have Adam & Eve in the garden of eden then where do the dinosaurs fit in. You presume that I'm Christian I'm not nor am I Jew,Hindu.Buddhist,Islamic or Sikh. I am what I have been for the past 20 years a practicing Pagan.

Evolution does not in fact contradict religion, Evolution is nothing more than scientific principal like gravity or electricty.To scientifically test a religous belief one must first find a some type of Empirical test to determine whether the belief is true or false with the test results being predicted beforehand and not after the fact. Does Evolution contradict creationism, well creationism is two fold the first part. Evolution specifically common decent tells us how life came to where it is but does not say why. If the first part underlies the theme of Genesis That God created the world and the life in it Then evolution cannot explain why common decent chose the path that it did. While the second part if Evolution contradicts the literal interpretaion of the first book of Genesis This for the most part is where the conflict between creationist and evolutionists persist. So did Evolution create the world or did God. If evolution is correct does that mean the bible is wrong well cosidering that the first book of Genesis cannot be proven or disproven scientifically. And since no scientific test has ever been created to to tell the difference between a world created by God or a world that appeared without him. Who's to say that God did not create Evolution, Science is mere theory that is constantly updating it's self. The only thing proven is mathmatics. I belive that there is a higher power. Since science can niether prove or disprove I'll stick with God

Oh look it's the KOTW's own little cheerleading B**ch. So tell me slick how does it feel to never have an original thought. Next time we want your opinion one of us will give it to you.

Ok punk. I'd like to see you answer a post, any post without trying to come off as the tough guy. I've noticed that you will attck anyone who disagrees with Paul the media ****** just my opinion, but **** **** ****** whenever his holiness pope paul opens his yap. So come on cheerleader are you up to it.

While I did try answering some of your questions in this post, you and I will never see eye to eye. While you say that people are trying to conform you to their beliefs you are guilty of the same thing. I see no point in even trying to be civil with you since you have your ears closed to others. With that said have a nice life

I agree with you speedy, back in the day when I was a teen we used to ride our dirt bikes on the tracks or the dirt trails behind gunnel oval. While still illegal to do so the KPD kinda looked the other way since we were not riding on the streets or sidewalks creating a hazard. But lets not stop with just the kids or adults at Gunnel Oval doing this, the ***** ** ********* ******** who allows his kids to drive gas powered go karts on the sidewalk.

I belive the legislation would have passed regardless. I wish there was more time for debate but under the circumstances of the time it may have seemed imperative to pass this immediatly. The average every day American Citizen and even those in other countries have nothing to fear from the Patriot Act. Only those who plan or plot harm to this country's citizens or infrastructure have something to be concerned about. whether they be a domestic or foreign enemy they have something fear and it is only befitting that they be placed in the darkest dankest hole that our government can find should they never see daylight again so be it.

As for the Patriot Act I can't explain Congress's rush to pass legislation for national security. Other than the fear of getting attacked again, but lets not put the blame just on Bush. This was a bipartisan effort both democrat and republican.So are you saying that since 9/11 the media has been supressed, what planet are you living on, the media has been nothing more than very active whether it be coverage in Iraq or investigating Washington politicians. By sitting out the pledge your showing that you have no Allegiance to the country. I on the other hand am proud of the USA good or bad we are afterall the GREATEST nation on the planet.Am I brainwashed no I'm not I do this of my own free will. I will stand for the pledge I will place my hand over my heart. At 18 I was proud and honored to sign my selective service card, although i could not serve in the military due to a childhood illness, I would to this day lay my life on the line in defense of this great nation. could the same be said for you

First the Soprano condo's have'nt even been built yet, The property next to Seabra's are slated to be $1500.00 a month apartments. With 232 new apartments there will be new children coming in. Can Franklin school handle a new influx of children with a current enrollment of 988 students K - 8 somehow I doubt it. So who's going to pay for a new addition not the state of NJ Kearny afterall is NOT a Abbott school district. that means the town will have to take out bonds and who will pay for that,why the Kearny taxpayer at up to 3 times the initial value. tax's will go up so that a developer can get rich. And where will the tenants of theis new complex park there is'nt enough room on the site what with retail stores on the first floor. So the developer will get town council approval to eminent domain someones property to build a parking garage to house between 232 - 464 vehicles so we take a few properties so that the mayor can look good and put more people on the unemployment rolls. Now what about the tax incentive package thats offered to new business's to lure them into coming to Kearny who picks up the difference? why the Kearny taxpayer does.

Your right I don't equate strip club with sleazy,So whats next for you prudes burning books maybe

So where should I put a driveway on a 6 family apartment building. I know I'll take the 1st floor and turn it into a driveway, I'll fill in the basement and force my tenants to put their furnance and hot water heaters into thier apartments. Yep that'll work. I could take this to the zoning board for their OK only I don't think my neighbors would like the taking of 2 more spaces off the street. I have 2 family homes on my street with garages and driveways yet those people park on the street, so wy should'nt they be forced to use their driveways.

I agree with you, the word under god should never have been placed in the pledge. The pledge was originally written by a Socialist as a poem for a socialist magazine. Sometime in the 1950's the Christian church petitioned congress to add the words " Under God" to the pledge. However I still stand by my earlier comments. If you don't want to say the words " Under God" then don't say them. Still though stand up and recite the pledge just leave out the words that offend you, now thats fair.There were those I went to school with that were Athiests and they stood for the pledge and left out the words under god but at least they stood and showed respect. By sitting thru the pledge this kid is not only being disrespectful but is showing his contempt for those who sacrificed their lives so that you and I can have this discussion.

Well Paul maybe you and your kid should live on a commune. Maybe your kid who does'nt want to Pledge the flag, could at least show some respect by standing and showing some respect for the Men and Women who gave their lives so that have the freedoms that you enjoy so much, like the freedom of speech, freedom to practice whatever religion you choose. Your kid does'nt have to recite the Pledge. However by showing his disrespect by sitting through out the pledge shows to me he is nothing more than a punk.

I don't see a " Sleazy" club as you put it in Town. I see a strip club opening up in the Industrial section of Kearny. I see a bar opening up 3 miles from the nearest residence,3.5 miles from the nearest school.So again I ask what does it matter. If it's prostitution your worried about try googeling prostitution Kearny NJ you'll get over 100 hits for prostitutes working in the greater Kearny area. If it's drugs anyone could be selling drugs I could name a few kearny high school students that I know are teen dealers.

Well goody for you. You have a driveway I also pay taxe's to the tune of $33,000 per year to the Town of Kearny for 3 properties. If you have a driveway use it then thats what it's there for. Why be greedy and take up parking that someone else who has no driveway could use.I'll bet your one of those people who park across your own driveway. I hope one of your neighbors calls the KPD and gets you ticketed for that small infraction.
