Stay out of John Prince Park

“We are not against the Atlanta Braves in Palm Beach County. Just not in John Prince Park. That park is used by people who can’t afford to buy a ticket to a spring training game,’’ said Katie McGiveron, president of the Residents of Lake Osborne Heights homeowners association.

Tea Party Demands
Comment Up
To: All Members of the United States Congress
We the People DEMAND you:
STOP THE ESTABLISHMENT!
I am very concerned about the direction my nation is going. I believe there is immense effort by those who are running the Washington Establishment to replace United States citizens with foreign nationals, to displace the United States citizenry, thereby giving our jobs and our votes to those not assimilating into America, and who know very little about our precious American heritage.
With this in mind, and as a proud member of We The People, here are my demands for the redress of my grievances as guaranteed by the first amendment to the Constitution.
• We The People demand legislation be crafted so that any vote by a citizen in a primary election be counted as a vote for a candidate, and the candidate with the most votes receives their party’s nomination.
• We The People will not be replaced by foreign nationals who are fast-tracked and then implanted into neighborhoods without notice or background checks.
• We The People demand Congress put a stop on foreign nationals relocating to United States, either legally or illegally, from terrorist-circle nations.
• We The People demand all foreign nationals wanting to relocate to the United States MUST go through all the background and medical checks that any legal immigrant goes through.
• We The People demand a stop all persons immigrating or relocating to the United States from Egypt, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and any terrorist-friendly nation until the threat of terrorism is eliminated.
• We The People demand the Border Patrol budget be doubled, and all lawful restrains be removed for capturing and detaining illegal aliens from entering the United States.
• We The People demand all illegal aliens be treated as hostile foreign nationals and be deported back to their country of origin when apprehended.
Election time is just around the corner, and we will remember in November.
We The People Are Watching!

City Light is Bright - Lake Worth

The street light has been replaced by Siemens and is a light that literally lights up the neighborhood
One of the neighborhood association presidents invited the mayor to meet with her at the light. She never got a response back until later yesterday and said that she could not make it. We are paying Siemens over $23 million dollars on this bad deal until year 2031 and the mayor signed the contract.

Drug Rehab Homes in Lake Worth causing problems - Gun shots fired
Comment Up
Reported by a resident in the ROLO Neighborhood who says that cars are "coming and going" all night long:
When you have "recovering" drug addicts living next door to you, your chances of encountering problems are real. The federal government (ADA) needs to stay out of our business as it has brought an unwanted element to our residential neighborhoods and put recovering addicts at the mercy of profiteers who all have found our little city.
Last year, a sober home opened up next door to my cousin's house and she is selling because of incidents that are not being corrected. She has been a life long resident of Lake Worth, has owned her home for decades, and now is thinking of moving elsewhere. Unfortunately, these sober homes are everywhere and drug addiction is on the rise.

Reported by a resident in the ROLO Neighborhood who says that cars are "coming and going" all night long:
"Last night around 10 there was a shooting at the rehab house on Sunset. Looks like it was a drive by and there were probably 5-6 shots fired. The police were there investigating it. This is why these places should not be in neighborhoods. All they do is bring trouble and make our neighborhoods look bad. This would have never happened here if it wasn't for that house."Sober homes are popping up all over Lake Worth. This particular house is at 633 Sunset Drive. The owner owns 20 properties in Palm Beach County and it appears that this property was bought during the downturn of the housing boom in 2007. We have become a dumping ground for those investors who bought cheap and now taking advantage of federal dollars to convert their properties to Sober Homes or leasing them out to those who are operating them as such.

Dog Park Funding cancelled at John Prince Park thanks to Atlanta Braves
Comment Up
$2 million was earmarked to fund the new dog park at John Prince Park. This has now been put on hold pending discussions with the Atlanta Braves, a billionaire corporation that wants us to give them some deeded property at our county park with certain county commissioners including a Lake Worth commissioner pushing the idea.. Read the letter from ROLO:
Dear Residents Of Lake Osborne,
The April 6th Scheduled for the ground breaking for the new Dog Park has been Cancelled. Upon contacting Shelly Vana's office this was cancelled due to the consideration of the Atlanta Braves Stadium.
This is proof positive that this could be a reality even with the deed restrictions and on the "To:" section of this email is the County commissioners email address. I urge all of you to start emailing them in your non-support.
This will devastate the traffic situation in our humble neighborhood along with the noise and pollution that comes with the Baseball Stadium.
Also see the link: http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/help/email.jsp?c_id=atl
Fill out the contact to the franchise form and let them know as much as we want them in Palm Beach County that we DO NOT WANT THEM IN JOHN PRINCE PARK. Please share this email with anyone you know that is a I (Heart) John Prince so they know our county commission is going against the will of the people.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Waples II

Atlanta Braves has zero LOYALTY
At Turner Field since 1997, they are saying adios and moving to a new stadium. They are building new at a cost of $622 million in order to save on maintenance costs of $150 mil over 30 years at Turner Field. The county there is raising $368 million through bonds, $14 million from transportation taxes, and $10 million cash from businesses in the Cumberland Community Improvement District.
Read Joe Capozzi's article in today's Palm Beach Post where "sources" have indicated the Braves want land in the south end of John Prince Park.

Quote of the Day - Rush Limbaugh on Liberals
“It makes no sense why anybody would
passively sit by and let this happen. [attempts to create a worldwide Islamic caliphate] It’s been my question
about liberalism for as long as I’ve been alive, and the answers are
scary.They’re either really stupid and naive and can’t see what is right in front of their faces, or they share the belief that the United States is an immoral, unjust place and has been from the beginning and deserves this kind of overthrow, redefinition, transformation, whatever you want to call it. I rather think it’s the latter, because I don’t think they’re so naive and ignorant they can’t see this. They see it and they’re just not bothered by it.”

LED lights by Siemens too bright in Lake Worth
Comment Up
Dear Friend and Neighbor,
During the rainstorm Thursday night, I got an urgent call from a member of Dark Sky Lake Worth.
I was told that a new LED streetlight was installed at the southwest corner of N Palmway and 5th Ave N. It replaced an old burnt-out high pressure sodium streetlight. High pressure sodium streetlights are what we currently use in the City.
There were definite concerns about the LED light being too bright. Felt like daylight was being mimicked all night long, and that it light-trespassed into neighbors yards and homes .
I bicycled up to that corner before sunrise Fri. morning to see it myself. I agree this street corner is over-lit and there is light trespass into yards and windows of the houses. (With the new LED technology we can get good and ample lighting with lower wattage lights. We do not have to settle for this level of harshness. It is also cheaper for the city to use lower wattage lights.)
Last night, I took another member of Dark Sky Lake Worth to look at this new LED streetlight. This member also agrees that it is too bright. (see attached photos & letter)
At the only public hearing last fall, Dark Sky Lake Worth officially went on record in opposition to LED streetlights that are way too bright – we called for 19-watt LED lights for neighborhoods, which is equivalent to the 80-100 watts in High Pressure Sodium lights currently in use which is ample and safe lighting for residential areas where people want to also sleep at night)
I am writing to ask you to go see this new streetlight yourself.
I am available to join you tonight, Monday night, or Tuesday night around 8:30 p.m.
Please call me at 561-231-3509 if you would like to go to see this light at 5th Ave N & N Palmway.
After you see the light yourself, I would love to have you write city officials, especially Mayor Triolo and City Manager Bornstein, and ask that the city not order anymore LED streetlights that are this bright, and that you don’t want these super bright lights on the street where you live and sleep.
Time is of the essence, because the city has a contract to buy more LED streetlights and you don’t speak up now, you will soon find one of these bright lights on your street corner.

It is also cheaper for the city to use lower wattage lights.)
Last night, I took another member of Dark Sky Lake Worth to look at this new LED streetlight. This member also agrees that it is too bright. (see attached photos & letter)
At the only public hearing last fall, Dark Sky Lake Worth officially went on record in opposition to LED streetlights that are way too bright – we called for 19-watt LED lights for neighborhoods, which is equivalent to the 80-100 watts in High Pressure Sodium lights currently in use which is ample and safe lighting for residential areas where people want to also sleep at night)
I am writing to ask you to go see this new streetlight yourself.
I am available to join you tonight, Monday night, or Tuesday night around 8:30 p.m.
Please call me at 561-231-3509 if you would like to go to see this light at 5th Ave N & N Palmway.
After you see the light yourself, I would love to have you write city officials, especially Mayor Triolo and City Manager Bornstein, and ask that the city not order anymore LED streetlights that are this bright, and that you don’t want these super bright lights on the street where you live and sleep.
Time is of the essence, because the city has a contract to buy more LED streetlights and you don’t speak up now, you will soon find one of these bright lights on your street corner.

More on Tom, a man who was beaten to death in Lake Worth
Those who live along North L Street near Fifth Avenue North, where Altman was found bleeding Tuesday morning in front of an abandoned apartment building, described “Lawn Tom” as a hardworking and respected man with “the kindest heart” around. Many, like Winters, considered him a friend.

Quote of the Day - Allen West
"In the Bible’s Letter of the Apostle James, Chapter one, verse eight, there is a warning to 'beware the double-minded man who is unstable in all his ways'.The great thing about today’s media technology is that the hypocrisy of the 'double-minded man' is immediately illuminated – in this case, President Barack Obama after the Brussels ISIS terror attack."

Someone to think about - Gary Johnson for President
If you are like me and tired of the crazy politicians in both the Republican and Democratic Parties or just tired of the do-nothing Congress in general allowing Obama to get away with executive orders, etc., think about this man--
“I do believe that crony capitalism is alive and well. It’s Democrats and Republicans that contribute to that. I’d like to be that choice that is not going to succumb to that.”
~ Gary Johnson
Not advocating, just throwing his name in the ring. Other than the marijuana thing, he looks pretty good. Gary Johnson on the issues

Kevin D. Thompson writes, "The $64,000 question is this — what should Lake Worth do with its prized beachfront property? The city is basically back to square one with the casino after city commissioners in October rejected Hudson Holdings’ plan to develop the property." Kevin further states, "The city is still trying to figure out what to do with the Lake Worth Casino, its prized beachfront property."
What do you mean that we are back to square one? What do you mean that the city is trying to figure out what to do? We already DID something...spent $13 million just 3 years ago on a total renovation and redevelopment. Nothing needs to be done at our beach property...NOTHING.

Truth in Journalism - Doesn't exist in local Tabloid
Comment Up
Not only were the lies outrageous during this past election regarding Ryan Hartman and all the candidates running against the incumbents (lumping them all as anarchists or worse, even this blogger), and blown 100% out of reality, our local news "reporter/editor" was a part of the hateful and deceitful conspiracy to divide this city even further than it already was.
The trio, with professional guidance, reached into the soul of people and their basic fears and anxieties by over exaggeration, downright lies and character assassinations telling us if we did not re-elect the Trio, our lives and city would be doomed to slum, blight, crime and trouble. Their lies worked with the biggest landslide of recent memory.
Pelican Pete, who has been drinking the Kool-Aid back as far as I can remember, published his paper this week that mocks the Earth First group that he previously reported would be here for the Hartman campaign with its sole purpose of helping an anarchist. Scads of people were to be here even registering to vote. Of course, and as usual, there was no truth to his wild and twisted suggestion. But he ran with it and perhaps believed it but personally maligned a candidate.
Today he prints in his loony bird column: "By the way, this bird hasn't seen the musical supposedly being made in February, you know the one that called for people from all over to come to Lake Worth and sleep under the stars. The one that would like people with strong telephone experience to perform in. Have you? Didn't think so."
Can we ever get truth in journalism from our local newspaper? When a newsman writes a story, he should be interviewing both sides in order to report honestly and fairly. This rarely happens here. Take his Christopher McVoy crack in this week's editorial calling him "less than honest." I would bet any amount of money on it that he never talked to Commissioner McVoy about the topic at hand (dinner meetings behind locked doors) nor does he talk to him about any matter. He listens to his preferred Trio.
The bird must have failed Reporting 101. Accuracy is essential if journalism is to inform the public debate. A news story needs to be balanced and representative of the widest opinion base in order to protect credibility. This is why Margaret Menge was so good at what she does and why she was so feared by this side of politicos in this city and why they brought her down. Honesty in journalism has little chance to survive here.
But this is all written by a political bird, so accuracy, credibility and honesty be damned.

Scott Maxwell, his Crazy Bat, Secret Meetings and $$$
Comment Up
We already went round and round about this several years ago with the Astros and Nationals but Commissioner Maxwell who represents this neighborhood doesn't give a flying fig. He loves secrecy and intrigue and the hell with his neighbors. It's still, with him, all about the possibility that some $$$ might trickle to Lake Worth from all of this. Just another one of his Field of Dreams. But what he is not considering, as it is not a priority, is the total ruination of a neighborhood.
This is posted as a reminder of the last behind the scenes discussions to screw this neighborhood and a beautiful Palm Beach County park that is deed restricted. Gosh, how soon everyone forgets.
Apparently a telephone survey went out yesterday on this. I have no details on it or who instigated it.
The PB Post said that there was a meeting on "Tuesday night at CityPlace that included officials from Lake Worth, Greenacres and the Economic Council of Palm Beach County, an influential group of business leaders that was a driving force behind the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches." Tuesday night is a curious date as Scott Maxwell was in a city commission meeting on Tuesday. At the end of the meeting when the city manager was asked if he had anything to report, he responded "no."
Palm Beach County is concerned about--"how to pay for the facility, which the Braves want to build in John Prince Park just west of Lake Worth. It could cost up to $100 million."
