Getting back to the First Street Park restoration project... Here are a few iPhone images from this past summer showing the first of two site visits to the park. Four landscape architecture firms from the New York region attended, took notes, measurements, photos. The VNA First Street Park Restoration Committee and the developer of the adjacent abandoned tenement, Gotham West, toured the park with the firms and provided them with information that would help guide their designs. And now, weeks later, they will be sharing their visions for a transformed park at Tuesday's meeting in order to accept feedback from the Village community. www.jcvillage.org

It's really sad to see this post become a rant against local bars rather than staying on topic: the restoration of First Street Park. A lot of assumptions are being made, like the park is going to remain open all hours of the night, but unless you (that is, jclisters residing in the Village) attend the neighborhood monthly meetings and actually get involved, you'll never know all the facts. By the way: those noises and odors assumed to be coming from the rear of the park were actually coming from one of the 2nd Street residential balconies - there's a known group of partiers out there quite often. And by the way: the park has been unlocked because the city's parks division is going in there to cut down the trees in anticipation of construction. So to sum up: know your facts, get involved, and start an entirely different post for anti-bar complaints. See you all at the Tuesday meeting, right?

thanks jaah37 for seeing the positive in this restorative project! - yes, the four design proposals will be available for online viewing after the oct. 13 meeting - we might even post them here - otherwise visit www.jcvillage.org, the website of the village neighborhood association (vna) - getting back to your question about the adjacent abandoned house: that will be demolished in the next few weeks and a new home is going up in conjunction with the new park - thanks again

Re: Chris Daggett Independent for Governor Meet & Greet

Star-Ledger Endorses Independent Chris Daggett for N.J. Governor

By Star-Ledger Editorial Board/The Star-Led...

October 10, 2009, 5:00PM

Ed Murray/ The Star-Ledger

The Star-Ledger today endorses independent candidate Chris Daggett and recommends his election as the next governor of New Jersey.

The newspaper?s decision is less a rejection of Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican Chris Christie than a repudiation of the parties they represent, both of which have forfeited any claim to the trust and confidence of the people of New Jersey. They share responsibility for the state?s current plight.

Only by breaking the hold of the Democratic and Republican mandarins on the governor?s office and putting a rein on their power will the state have any hope for the kind of change needed to halt its downward economic, political and ethical spiral.

New Jersey needs radical change in Trenton. Neither of the major parties is likely to provide it. Daggett?s election would send shock waves through New Jersey?s ossified political system and, we believe, provide a start in a new direction.
It would signal the entrenched leadership of both parties ? and the interest groups they regularly represent ? that an ill-served and angry electorate demands something better.
The lamentable fact is that the two parties are, themselves, little more than narrow special interests. Their competition for short-term political and/or monetary gain has jeopardized the state?s long-term economic health and left it with a tarnished national reputation.

Where the major parties have differed, their differences have been inconsequential. Where they?ve been the same, their similarities have been destructive.

They have contributed equally to gross overspending in Trenton by consistently pandering to the pay, pension and retirement policies demanded by powerful public employee unions. Democrats have financed the spree with tax hikes, Republicans with borrowed money, and both with pension-fund raids.

How do we now signal them that this has got to stop if not by rejecting their anointed candidates? How if not by electing Chris Daggett?

The most disappointing of the three candidates is Christie. Six months ago he seemed an almost certain winner, a highly successful federal prosecutor facing an embattled governor saddled with a collapsing economy and soaring budget deficits. He could run a rocking-chair campaign, it seemed, make only safe commitments, avoid controversy, and win.

Unfortunately, that?s mostly what Christie has done ? a strategy that looks less promising now that his double-digit early lead has melted away.

Christie?s game plan for dealing with a looming, record budget deficit of $8 billion has been a work in progress. After pledging for months to cut taxes deeply despite the budget red ink, he disclosed Friday in an interview with The Star-Ledger?s Tom Moran that he has put most of the tax reduction on the shelf until the economy begins to recover.

But he?d still lower income taxes on the state?s wealthiest households by roughly $1 billion and restore a portion of the nearly $600 billion in property tax rebates rescinded last year ? a neat trick while still balancing the budget.

Christie?s principal claim on voter support is based on his record as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey ? and it?s not without merit. The Star-Ledger opposed his appointment to that post originally, only to be pleasantly surprised as Christie surrounded himself with capable, qualified people and performed well.

But his sketchy budget plans and his relative lack of familiarity with the details of state government, as evidenced in debates and before The Star-Ledger editorial board, give us pause.
Corzine is an eminently decent and likable man, and not without achievement. We especially salute his unflagging commitment to state education and his success in changing the Abbott school aid formula to ensure that money intended to help poor children follows them whether or not they live in specific districts.

But his shortcomings as a leader are serious. They?ve become all too apparent in his dealings with public employee unions, an often unruly Legislature and a Democratic Party that is, at best, an ethically compromised ship and, at worst, harbors a corrupt crew.

The governor may be the nominal leader of his party but there?s mounting evidence its commanding figure is George Norcross, an unelected South Jersey political deal-maker who?s currently rearranging the Democratic leadership in the Senate and Assembly.

Corzine is the chaplain on a pirate ship, not really its captain.
Like Christie, neither Corzine nor Daggett has adequately explained how he?d tackle the vast budget deficit. All three, to some degree, are like Dickens? hapless Wilkins Micawber, hoping "something will turn up." But only Daggett has produced anything close to a coherent plan to cut property taxes. He?d chop them by up to $2,500 per homeowner ? but only if their municipalities kept spending increases in line with the Consumer Price Index. In effect, he?d require local officials to choose between their union supporters and taxpaying voters. It?s not a panacea, but at least a start.

As for government experience, Daggett, who has a doctorate in education, has at least as much as his rivals, having worked for both Democratic and Republican governors and served as regional administrator of the federal Environmental Protection Agency. His mastery of detail is impressive.

The reservation one hears about Daggett among the surprising number who say they?d like to vote for him is that he can?t win. And, indeed, the ballot position assigned Daggett and other independents makes his task daunting. You?ll have to hunt to find him.

But the value of a vote is not limited to picking a winner. The real value lies in the signal it sends about what the voter believes is best for the city, county or state ? not merely at the moment, but long-term.
We believe Daggett is best.

For disappointed Democrats and Republicans, a decision to vote for Daggett will mean a break with party loyalty ? no easy thing. What we?re suggesting is a temporary suspension of that loyalty as a way to begin changing the corrosive culture of Trenton. Daggett would owe nothing to either party establishment; he?d be free to recruit best talent wherever he found it. As he told The Star-Ledger editorial board, he?d feel no obligation to honor the traditional Democratic-Republican deal that requires bipartisan balance on the Supreme Court. He?d apparently take the best he could find regardless of party affiliation ? or lack thereof.

For too long, the cliche about New Jersey?s two great parties has seemed all too true ? that Democrats are corrupt, Republicans incompetent. Nothing will cause them to change their ways for the better except repudiation at the polls Nov. 3.

The election of Chris Daggett would deliver that repudiation and put a highly qualified occupant in the corner office at the Statehouse.

One of our goals is that the restoration of the park (closed 25 years now) will greatly improve the neighborhood and become a singular oasis we can all be proud of - this post is meant to be a reflection of that positivity - thanks

A little more information is given in this update:

Jack Shaw of Jersey City, one of the 44 people arrested in Thursday's massive New Jersey corruption scandal, was found dead in his apartment this evening, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio has confirmed.

A relative found the 61-year-old political consultant's body, De Fazio said.

Police were called at 5:17 p.m. and Shaw was officially declared dead at 6 p.m.

Homicide investigators as well as the regular police contingent responded, DeFazio said, noting that no weapon was found.

An autopsy will determine the cause of death, he said.

In the criminal complaint against Shaw, he is accused of taking $10,000 from the government informant for himself and an additional $10,000 in campaign contribution for an unnamed Jersey City official.

The longtime consultant had been a keen observer of the rough-and-tumble world of Hudson County politics for decades.

Photo courtesy of JC Landmarks. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Powerhouse Stabilization Gets Underway" The Jersey City Independent Thursday, June 11, 2009 By Jon Whiten As various factions have battled over who should pay to relocate the electrical transformers inside Jersey City?s Powerhouse, the health of the historic structure has become ever more precarious. With this in mind, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA) and the Port Authority today are kicking off a stabilization project for the 100-plus-year-old structure. This JCRA says the project is designed to halt further decline of the building while the Port Authority relocates the transformers. Architectural firm Beyer, Blinder and Belle was tapped to helm the stabilization effort, which is set to include the replacement of windows and roof and the installation of new drainage systems to mitigate any further deterioration of the structure. The process is anticipated to take three to five months, and comes with a $3.4 million price tag, which will be picked up by the city, the JCRA and the Port Authority. Once the stabilization in complete in October 2009 and the transformers are removed, the city expects the redevelopment of the site to get underway. The $90 million redevelopment, which is expected to be complete by 2013, is slated to bring 180,000 square feet of gallery, restaurant and office space to the building. ?The building will again play a key role in the continued escalation of the city?s renaissance, both economically and culturally,? JCRA executive director stated Robert Antonicello says. Officials hope the Powerhouse will anchor a revived arts district of the same name, which as recently as six years ago was a thriving center for the arts in Jersey City. Ever since the artists who called the bustling 111 1st St. home were forced out in 2004, the Powerhouse Arts District, despite the best efforts of some businesses and residents, has largely been an ?arts district? in name only. The iconic Powerhouse, which also faced demolition in the late 1990s, was saved by community groups led by the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy, and the building was ultimately put on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. For more on the stabilization plan and the redevelopment, check out this new site from the JCRA. For more on the history of the Powerhouse, check out JCI publisher Shane Smith?s piece in NEW magazine. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Powerhouse To Begin Stabilization Project" The Jersey Journal Friday, June 12, 2009 By Amy Sara Clark The Powerhouse building in Downtown Jersey City - the linchpin to a planned arts district - is about to receive a $3.4 million facelift. With Jersey City and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey each picking up half the tab, preservationists and government officials kicked off a "stabilization" project to protect the 101-year-old, nine-story building yesterday. "This truly is an important use of public dollars," said P.A. Deputy Executive Director Susan Bass-Levin. "It really will be the focal point of this community." The building once housed turbines that generated electricity for the entire PATH network, but now operates just a few compressors to power the train system's track switches. The P.A. is currently figuring out where to move the compressors, and it will take about two years to get the new site up and running before major renovation work can be done on the Powerhouse building. But stabilization work will begin next month and is slated to be completed by October, said Jersey City Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Robert Antonicello. The money will be used for such projects as a new roof, temporary drainage systems, the cleaning and repair of brickwork and drain pipes, and boarding up the windows. Referring to the structure as an "architectural jewel" and "Jersey City's Grand Central Station," Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy said it is slated to become an entertainment and retail center with cafes, restaurants, galleries and perhaps a movie theater that will be the cornerstone of a new artists district. The Baltimore-based Cordish Companies, of Inner-Harbor fame, will oversee a $90 million development of the site, which is expected to be completed by 2013, officials said. ?2009 Jersey Journal - ? 2009 NJ.com All Rights Reserved.

MOTHERS' DAY EVENT - BEACONS OF BERGEN HILL: A WALKING TOUR WITH HISTORIAN DENNIS DORAN

Sunday, May 10, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Cost: $5; $3 for seniors and students with current ID. MOTHERS ADMITTED FREE! Meet at the front entrance to The Beacon, formerly the Jersey City Medical Center, 50 Baldwin Avenue. Rain or shine!

Guided by historian Dennis Doran. This newly established walking tour focuses on the history and architecture of one of Jersey City's first "suburbs": the area along the beginning of the Palisades just north of Grand Street. Here Dutch farms gave way in the mid-19th century to extraordinary set-back mansions. Continuous slate sidewalks, awesome brownstones, old street trolley junctions and a former City Hall (now condos) all help to illuminate what just might be Jersey City's most beautiful neighborhood.

Note: "Beacons of Bergen Hill" will highlight the Conservancy's efforts to save the threatened St. John's Episcopal Church. We hope you are able to come out and sign our postcard petition! For more information contact Dennis Doran at dgdoran91@comcast.net.

JERSEY CITY IN VINTAGE POSTCARDS - FREE ILLUSTRATED LECTURE BY HISTORIAN CYNTHIA HARRIS At the dawn of the 20th Century there was neither radio nor television. Movies had yet to be invented and the Internet was not even imagined. Aside from books and newspapers seeing foreign countries or even nearby cities could only be done by traveling to them. Then, in the late 19th Century the picture postcard was developed. With it was a chance to see your friend's hometown, school, church, every site that was important. Postcards became so popular that whole stores were devoted to their sale. See Jersey City through the eyes of the camera one hundred years ago. See Dickinson High School in its orignal splendor, cows grazing in Curries Woods, the original PS # 14 with the classic bell on top to signal time for school and more. Cynthia Harris of the New Jersey Room of the Jersey City Free Public Library will present a slide presentation of postcards that were proudly mailed to show off the sender's hometown - Jersey City. It will be held at the Greenville Branch of the Library on May 12, 2009 at 6:30 PM. The Library is located at 1841 Kennedy Boulevard. FREE. No reservation required. For more info contact Cynthia Harris at (201) 547-6961 or charris@jclibrary.org.
