I think that adds up to 5.8 MILLION so I rounded it to 6 OMG! Are you her political watch dog out to protect your master? I am telling the truth. Yes Englishtown residents do pay their taxes to Englishtown but Manalapan set a precedent when they started paying for the children of Englishtown. It has been a policy for more years than can be remembered. Now all of a sudden we kick those kids out? As for what she does in her PR firm, she does indeed write press releases for her companies, majority of which are in the mining industry in foreign countries. Spin until you knock yourself out.

Read todays APP. We have the Queen spending another few million of our dollars at the rec center, that is 6 million in 2 years! But she refuses to pay $11K so that 17 children from Englishtown can attend the summer rec at Manalapan . Englishtown which gets so little funding has never paid the fee in the history of the Rec. But good old Queenie Meanie found a way to save $11K by screwing these financially challenged families from giving their kids a summer camp. But it gets better, we need a another police officer to work Manalapan High School. Guess what no money for that either,no money for the First Aid Squad, but we have money to fix the rec?! We have money for everything else but the children!! Do you see a pattern here? Considering that the Queen can afford to send her kids to private sleep away camp why should she care for those less fortunate? Such a humanitarian isn't she? But then again doesn't the Queen of Mean earn her money in the foreign market writing PR BS for foreign mining companies that treat their workers like second class citizens? So is denying those less fortunate a routine for her ? She has proven she cares nothing about our children, she has refused to stop the synthetic field with it's health hazards, she refuses to pay for our 17 children from Englishtown, she refuses to give the Police Department of Manalapan the money they need to protect our children at the High School, but she can spend $6 MILLION DOLLARS AT THE REC now can't she?? Whos suffers? Our Children! SHAME ON YOU MICHELE ROTH! Beware of politicians like her that come to your door and tell you they are for all the people like she did.

The compounds can irritate eyes, skin and mucous membranes. The rubber also was found to leach heavy metals into water.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The organization has asked for a moratorium on the further installation of the synthetic turf fields until more research is done. <BR/><BR/><BR/>"What we don't know at this point is to what extent do these toxic chemicals . . . get into kids' bodies," Landrigan said. <BR/><BR/>He noted a study being conducted by Rutgers University utilizing a robot that will move around the fields and take air samples about a foot above the surface to measure the amount of chemical exposure. He said it also would be a good idea to work with groups of parents and obtain urine samples of children who use the fields, to see if chemicals are passing through their bodies. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Landrigan also focused on the increasing incidence of asthma, childhood cancers and developmental disorders, such as autism. He said there are chemicals that haven't been tested for their possible toxicity, and children are more susceptible to exposure because they drink more water and often transfer substances to their mouths. Children also are still developing and they take longer to rid their bodies of chemicals, he said.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"We are conducting in our society a vast toxicological experiment," Landrigan said.<BR/><BR/><BR/>There is evidence for environmental causes of developmental disorders, including lead, methyl mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, Landrigan said. He advised people to eat organic foods as much as possible, be informed about neighbors' pesticide use and encourage the use of "green" materials in schools. . . .

Well think about this, the gang of 3 want a synthetic turf field regardless of the health reports being produced about the health dangers to our children playing on them. Several articles appeared late yesterday afternoon and then again this morning about lead levels found at two NJ sites with synthetic fields that had levels of lead 8 times higher than allowable. Search the net they are all there. Yet we have one of the gang of 3 Klauber, who is preaching we need to spend 1MILLION DOLLARS to convert the street lighting to conserve energy and is pushing the use of solar panels on the municipal building and the schools to "Go GREEN" What kind of hypocrit is Klauber? He claims to be concerned with the environment and energy and yet he is pushing the synthetic field? NOW that it has been proven there are health and environmental problems with this type of field will he do anything? Or will he continue to thwart all of Mr. Gennaro's objections to the synthetic field? Now look at a candidate for school board, a Democrat and a Gang of 3 supporter, Larry Furman who is campaigning that he too is a big solar energy Go Green advocate. Like Klauber we have not heard one word from Furman on his opposition to the synthetic turf field going into our town. So why haven't we? Let's face it, if you believe we have to save the earth and GO GREEN why aren't you concerned with the effects an artifical field can have on our environment and our children? If you are truly are for the environment then this too should be part of your concern for the safety and health of the children as a school board member. <BR/>More hypocrisy in Manalapan? I think so. <BR/>There is a brilliant quote from Jeff Teitel of the Sierra Club in an on line nbc new york article from yesterday 4/14 where he states that the Sierra Club has been fighting for 6 years to ban synthetic turf fields and this is his quote relating to synthetic turf " If cows can't eat it children shouldn't play on it." Kudos Mr. Teitel, I think that says it all. End the Hypocrisy in Manalapan and fight to save our children. Vote No to anyone who refuses to stand up to the Gang of 3 and allows this field to be built in Manalapan.

Laughter is the Best Medicine<BR/>by dottyp, 4/13/08 9:35 ET <BR/>Re: Does anyone know who Peter Hall is? by riverfiter, 4/13/08 <BR/>My late mother used to say that laughter is the best medicine. I have found this to be very true in recent years. I have learned a great deal in the 17 years that I have resided in Manalapan about people, by how they choose to behave. On this forum, there are people who choose to post anonymously and sometimes say despicable things about other people and that is their choice. I have chosen to post my opinions and feelings about various topics under my real name and that is my choice. As in the recent court case involving daTruthSquad, this is America and people are free to say as they please. What I have learned is how to sit back and laugh about what people say. I truly enjoy reading daTruthSquad because I find it very entertaining and at times, very informative. During the campaign last year, Joey D and I learned a great deal about how things in Manalapan really are and IMHO, what goes on in the political arena is pretty pathetic. It truly amazes me what some people won't say or do, to get elected. But most importantly, I have learned that laughter is the best medicine.
