Those wonderful turf fields

   

added Saturday, December 17th, 2016

A Town that gets to VOTE on the turf, amazing. Lodi taxpayers are never allowed to vote on anything !!!

http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/morris/kinnelon/2016/12/16/kinnelon-council-enough-enough-artificial-turf/95530222/

 

UPDATE: Added Friday December 09, 2016

The following appeared in local news feeds, additional information on FieldTurf.

https://readymag.com/njdotcom/fieldturf-dipiazza/

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/lawmakers_call_for_investigation_class-action_laws.html#incart_river_home_pop
 

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/state_hearings_to_examine_conduct_of_top_us_turf_c.html#incart_river_home

 

Do Taxpayers have recourse?


For many years now Taxpayers have paid millions of dollars, through Lodi taxes & through County & State Funding Grants, (GreenAcres, Open Spaces) to TURF most of the "Sports Playing Fields" here in Lodi.

The Lodi High School field, The Kennedy (Luna Baseball) Park, Memorial Park, Voto-Tedesco Field and the Hilltop School Field.

The following appeared in the news on Sunday, December 4, 2016

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/for_years_company_made_millions_selling_faulty_fie.html#incart_2box_nj-homepage-featured

https://readymag.com/njdotcom/fieldturf/

The same company installed the turf at the above Lodi Fields.

www.fieldturf.com

Who recommended this turf company? Records show that this company is touted by Maser Consulting in an employee's personal twitter pages.



Maser Consulting receives a "No-Bid" professional contract from Lodi every year, and has for many years. Should also point out that Maser is a large contributor to Election Campaigns here in Lodi. (So much for Pay to Play). Maser also sponsors "holes" for the Lodi Boys & Girls Club golf outings.

Lodi.org M/C meeting minutes
http://www.elec.state.nj.us


Who excepted the "Bids" from this company? Did Lodi research the company, or its "product".

Will MEL/JIF insurance cover the cost of the replacement of an inferior product? Will the usual Borough Attorneys get more money for any litigation? Will taxpayers have to pay for the next round of BONDS for another 20 year period? Who is responsible to repair Kennedy field each time a helicopter lands during Fire Prevention week every year?

Of course, something else to think about…

Such a wonderful article in the local newspaper about the retirement of Lodi's Borough Clerk,

WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE…


Between Professional duties and Personal Endeavors.

When you market yourself all over the place, in every forum imagined, highlighting your "wonderful" accomplishments. Then when people look at you, you claim they are stalking you !

Yep, we are about to spotlight Jamie Edward Ciofalo, AGAIN.

Ciofalo is employed by the Lodi Board of Education and has the title of Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction, his salary is now $ 140,922.00. Ciofalo's wife Alicia DeLillo Ciofalo is also employed by the Lodi Board of Education, she is a teacher at Lodi Hilltop School with a salary of about $ 76,503.00.

Lodi Board of Education Meeting Minutes
The Ciofalo's live and own a 2 bedroom condo in Belleville, purchased in 2007 and pay $ 5430.06 in property taxes per year.

The Ciofalo's have two children. These children attend Lodi Hilltop School. (Thats allowed by the Lodi Board of Ed, after all if the Luna-Biondi kids attended Lodi Columbus School, even though they lived in Maywood, the Ciofalo kids can do it too.)

Ciofalo is not only employed by the Board of Education, he is the President of the Lodi Boys & Girls Club, and Vice President of LodiCares.org.

Lodi Taxpayers are, once again, about to get a kick.....

in the arse by the Lodi Board of Education.

This appeared in the online news NJ.com today.

 http://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2016/09/mother_sues_grammar_school_kids_for_sexually_harassing_son.html


Goodness, how could this happen in Lodi. Lodi has some of the best Professional & Highly Qualified Teachers, who are trained by Jamie Edward Ciofalo and crew

The guy hired by Lodi Board of Ed, Jamie Edward Ciofalo, to train all teachers about bulling,(HIPster) and those teachers, in turn, are supposed to teach Lodi Students. Jamie must be a very busy man. So I guess some students might fall through the cracks…even with all of his specialized training.

Didn't the Lodi Board of Ed Superintendent Frank Quatrone, receive a "Large Bonus" for having these proper policies & procedures in place? Isn't the "Bullying Procedure" Resolution read at the beginning of every Lodi Board of Ed meeting?



Not only are the taxpayers of Lodi going have to foot the 7.5 Million Dollar building for 24 Lodi Board of Education employees, we are now going to be hit with this added legal expense.

WHAT A DISGRACE...PLEASE VOTE FOR DECENT PEOPLE THIS NOVEMBER

LODI SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS

Scorzetti, Telep, Miller, on the Lodi School Board, Really? These "three amigos" had a hand in keeping the following information from the public, and now they want to make decisions about your children and their education.

(Note: Telep handled the Megan's Law registrants for the Lodi Police Department)

THE LAW IS THE LAW

Unless, of course, you have special privilege here in Lodi, NJ.

The following is NOT an attempt to harass, intimidate, certain persons, but to point out just how much information the "Powers That Be" here in Lodi hide, sweep under the carpet and disregard the Laws of this State. ALL INFORMATION PRESENTED IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.

Back in 2000 a Lodi resident was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor, under the age of 16 years old. The Lodi man pleaded guilty to the charge of Child Endangerment and received a sentence of 5 years probation, and "should have been placed" on Megan's List. This man never made it onto the NJ Megan's law list. Why this is, we do not know, but the local police are responsible for entering persons into the system. I do not think the law says, at the "descretion of the Local Police Department."  However, for whatever reason, this man DID make it onto Florida's sexual offender list and is still shown there as of this writing.

https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/flyer.do?personId=82216

His New Jersey arrest can be found here.


http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/index.html

Do the circumstances about the arrest matter, maybe not. Could have been a Boyfriend/Girlfriend type thing and the victim's parents pushed for the charges. But, the law is the law.

On June 6, 2002 this man was arrested again & charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender here in Bergen County (around the same time a Paparozzi family member was charged with the same thing, never saw that one on Megan's List either)

Turns out, the man was an Emergency Medical Technician with the LODI VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE & RESCUE CORP. for several years.

http://www.nj.gov/health/ems/reg-enforcement/legal-action/


The entire Lodi Police Department would have had to have knowledge of this mans arrest, and knew that he was an EMT on the Lodi Volunteer Ambulance & Rescue Corp. The Lodi Volunteer Ambulance & Rescue Corp's Board of Directors and Officers also had the same knowledge. Some of the Lodi Police Department officers & detectives are, or were members of the Ambulance corp.

This man also received "Honors" from the Ambulance corp. at the LVARS annual Dinner Dance in 2009.

and participated in LVARS functions

Note: Ashley Ward was a member and a Line Officer with the Lodi Ambulance Corp, and, for a short time, fiancee to Sgt Russell Inserra. Heather Jones is his wife.

As of 2015, Mr. Jones did not have to register with, or appear on NJ's Megan's List. (Not that he ever did).

Several important questions will NEVER be answered…Like,


1.) How many Juveniles, or females did this man treat, evaluate, transport or have contact with while on the Lodi Ambulance Corp.?

2.) Would this have been a liability to the Borough, and ultimately the Taxpayers of Lodi ?

3.) Should we continue to reward the persons responsible for "hiding" this information by electing/ appointing them to the Borough Council and various Borough Boards?

But yet, some of these same persons were so eager to publicly post information on a DUI arrest of a Lodi Teacher back in January 2016…..Yes, the Law is the Law, except for the privileged few.

THE LAW IS THE LAW #2

Unless, of course, you have special privilege here in Lodi, NJ.

 Shhhhhh !!!!!

Lodi Fire Marshall Paul W. Wanco's Criminal Probation period ended Monday, August 08, 2016…..


But here in Lodi, NJ, Criminal Arrest & Conviction of "Special Privileged" Public Employees means nothing....
http://www.northjersey.com/towns/lodi
(the other man pictured above is stepfather in law to ex Police Chief Vincent J. Caruso and a one time Lodi Police Dispatcher)


 For those who do not recall. On March 5, 2013, Wanco's 89 year old mother Florence, fell in her house and Wanco knowingly let her lay there for over 15 hours. Wanco claim's  he wanted to " teach her a lesson."

Florence Wanco died a little over a year later on March 26, 2014.

http://cliffviewpilot.com/lodi-fire-marshal-avoids-prison-keeps-pension-in-admitting-abuse-of-elderly-mother/

http://www.fios1news.com/newjersey/node/26708

Wanco was not charged with any Elder Abuse crime, like any other person in the State, but instead was charged with "Bias Intimidation".



  ANY OTHER PERSONS ARREST & CONVICTION WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.....
 In the State of New Jersey, there is some dispute over the "Bias Intimidation" statute.
https://blog.simplejustice.us/2015/03/21/new-jerseys-sensitive-victim-bias-crime-unconstitutional/

Should Wanco have been charged with "Elder Abuse" instead, the Statute does seem to fit better....You decide

http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/doas/services/aps/
 As far as the public knows, Wanco has never been suspended from his job, never lost a days wages, and will collect his pension....
 So even with an Arrest & Conviction record, the Borough of Lodi and the State of New Jersey must feel that Wanco is Okay to "PROTECT THE PUBLIC", even the elderly......

Anyone out there who has lost their Public Employment because of an Arrest & Conviction? 

LODI EVEN ALLOWS WANCO TO BE ON THE PLANNING BOARD.....

WANCO WAS A HASBROUCK HEIGHTS POLICE OFFICE, A 911/POLICE TELECOMMUNICATOR, SECURITY GUARD AT RIVERSIDE MALL, AND A FIREFIGHTER IN ROCHELLE PARK (MAYBE?)

WANCO CONTINUES TO "PROTECT" THE PUBLIC, THANKS TO THE POWERS THAT BE HERE IN LODI, NJ.
