Dog owners,

Please, please, please pick up after your dogs. I own a dog. I pick up after her. But the Sixth Street Embankment between Jersey and Erie is being ruined by owners who think they don't have to pick up.

A couple of us have started making a stepping stone path on the embankment side of 6th, making it easier to walk on ... but the other day someone let their dog take a dump right on the new stones! WTF?!

I wish someone with a cam would video these idiots and put them on Youtube ... Name and Shame, JC-ers!

Has anyone else notice an recent uptick of graffiti in downtown? This is one of my pet peeves. It seems to me that there is one or maybe two individuals since the same tag is repeated. Do the police try to apprehend these people?

The red wall on the corner of York and Barrow was tagged 2 weeks ago. The same idiots, Beset, FDS, Breel, and Emilio Estevez have vandalized postal vehicles, buildings under construction, mail boxes, C Town, businesses, and private property in all areas. They've tagged Newark Avenue from Grove to Brunswick and the Powerhouse area.

They are a friggin menace. I have one clue. Does anyone know the significance of the phrase "2010 Angry Apes?" This is a byline on a bumper sticker that also features the above tags. Is this a local group? Find who printed the bumper sticker and find the a$$holes. I've Googled it and nothing so far.

Many tags were done during the last snow storm and late night on Thursdays and Fridays.

Why is trash overflowing in various public garbage cans in and around Van Vorst Park?

In the Van Vorst Park dog area, the trash can was overflowing with canine feces last week. Finally, I saw two people, who I believe were city workers, cleaning it out. However, the way it was being cleaned out was very strange to me. One man stood holding a garbage bag open, while the other picked out each bag of feces individually and dropped it in the bag. Are there not more efficient ways to empty trash cans?

By Brett Wilshe/The Jersey Journal

Mayor Jerramiah Healy and state Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham announced today that the Jersey City Incinerator Authority plans to rehire 30 Second Chance employees thanks to a $310,000 New Jersey Community Service Block Grant.

The Second Chance program hires individuals with non-violent criminal records.

In September, 42 Second-Chance employees in the city were laid off when state funding for the city's Urban Enterprise Zone was cut.

JCIA CEO Oren K. Dabney said those laid-off employees would have first preference to be rehired.

"I've seen peoples lives changed through the Second Chance program," Dabney said. "Some of our best full-time employees came from it.

Healy thanked Senator Cunningham for securing the state grant, saying in a press release that it would provide both jobs and valuable services to the city.

"When I saw the opportunity to secure funds for this program in Jersey City I did not hesitate," Cunningham said in a statement. "I am proud to say that Jersey City will once again have an active Second Chance program."

Crews are expected to work weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., performing various chores such as picking up litter and shoveling snow, Dabney said.

Second Chance was started in 2001 by Cunningham's late husband, Glenn D. Cunningham, when he was Jersey City mayor.

Brass Pair of Chips Award: To the A-hole on Montgomery near the Seventh Day Adventists Church who dug out a spot and then posted a cardboard sign reading, "I shoveled this spot, Don't park here." Of course, I parked there while running errands.

Runner up: The other jerk on York and Barrow who put a lawn chair and a bag of garbage on an open space to reserve a spot.

Unless one has a Handicap parking spot, there's no "reserved parking spots." I lost a pristine spot that I cleaned in front of my home and simply moved on to the next.

The biggest jerks are the ones who take two spots.

I have to respectfully disagree. If someone spent hours digging their car out (like you did as well), don't you think they deserve to save their spot for a couple of hours while they are running around? I spent 3 hours getting my car out, but I knew I'd be gone for the whole day so there was no chance of me saving the spot, but I would want to hold my spot if it were only a couple of hours.

Not a good day. My civic was stolen from where I live sometime today (12/16). Car was parked on Van Vorst St, between Dudley and Essex, alongside the marina. It's a red 1994 Honda Civic Si hatchback, NJ plate M56AGK. It has a broken muffler, so it makes a good bit of noise.

Reported it to the police, and was told a lot of times, thieves steal the car and park it for a few days before chopping it up. Hopefully it's found before too much damage is done.

If anyone sees this car anywhere, please contact me. This was a project car for my daughter and I. She is devistated that the car is gone.

Thanks for the space. Happy Holidays.

Are you sure it was a peregrine and not a red tailed hawk? Not only are peregrines a little small to take a cat, they prefer airborne prey, of which there is certainly no shortage here. Red tails hunt ground prey such as small mammals.

I am not sure. Maybe this will help:

white chest with some spots and dark brown wings. The beak was light yellow and the bird had a dark brown crest.

Did it look like this peregrine? This one who was born here does have a yellow beak but no "crest". If it was, perhaps it was picking up an easy meal at an already dead carcass. I just don't think they're big enough to take down a cat, a big female is only 3lb according to wiki.
