The only thing the kid learns is that he is above the law & the hell with everything else. If you let your kid have an off road vehicle & allow them to ride it in the beach then you are guilty more than the child. You will be the first to cry that police do nothing, then cry when your child is arrested & the vehicle is confiscated. Enough of having the fields torn up by these spoiled punks.

There has been a quad racing up and down the center of Gerritsen Avenue most of the day. Calls were made to "911" --a crime in progress-- but no response. That little curly-headed lady who always interrupts anyone speaking at the property owners meetings is right. There is no response to 911 calls.

One has already caused his father a problem, and if I know my friend, Superman, it won't be long before he has convinced another father to stick his son's atv up his ass.

Edwards, Director of Roadway Repair & Maintenance, and unintentionally gave them more time to engage in approach avoidance. To review what has happened since the 48 hours was changed to another meeting, June 12th: DEP has been sending agents out to check on problem areas, e.g. flooding on Melba Court. They took action and used a jet hose to flush out a blocked sewer. Only to find it hadn't done the job. They returned and found the blockage is because of "cement", assumed to have been dumped down the drain in the past, following some construction job. This sounds like a logical assumption, so now, lets have it corrected! The most significant thing about problems, is that once you know what the problem is, you can solve it.... To give credit, where due, DEP has also checked Lester Ct. Atta boy, DEP. The people who attended the GBPOA meeting told that they had attended a Town Hall Meeting held at the Blue Star Mothers Hall over 2 years ago; followed by an inspection tour of DEP and DOT officials. That's two years ago. Nothing happened. Let us ask ourselves the question: What if there was flooding on Congressman Weiner's street, or in front of Senator Shumer's apartment building in Park Slope, or Senator Golden's home in Bay Ridge, or Lew Fidler's street, or Alan Maisel's street? Would it take town hall meetings and 2 years (in actuality, the Frank Court flooding has been going on for 9 years). We understand that Borough Commissioner, Marty Markowitz is looking to buy his first home. There is a large (illegally built, over the height limit house next to the corner lot on Frank Ct. and Seba Ave. You could shave some of the top off the roof, Marty, and you might be able to buy the vacant lot next to it, (or have it condemned). The house is in foreclosure and boarded up, but a fine looking 'starter home). Come on Marty, we need your influence. Buy the house on Frank Court and have the flooding corrected.
