Meet the New Boss

Old Boss, Canning: Resigned as Borough Administrator, taking the same position on Mt. Olive. New Boss: Perry Mayers, known for being President of School Board. Retiring from Police Chief job in Montclair. Coming to LP in 2012. Doubling pensions is what we excel at.

We Had a 5K

Annual 5K was run on Saturday. Went off well I am told. Wonder if any of the council members made an appearance. Tomorrow is election day. Unfortunately we can't get rid of the whole (or some of) group until maybe next year...countdown is on. Time for some new thinking. New direction. New blood. Get the word out.

The Worst Ever

Been here a long time. I was here in 1984.

This is worse.

God help the people in authority of the dams were opened and caused this. That is a vow.

Fingers-Crossed

As you know, Hurricane Irene is coming a-knocking.

Here's hoping that she leaves without drowning us all.

God bless. Good luck.

The Crime Story

Dead guy found in LP.

Some Weekend

Busy 'round these parts. Saturday was the loooong fireman's parade and last night of their carnival. Checked it out early in the evening, seemed a little slow. Hope they did well.

Then today we had a triathlon in the AM. Lot's of tri-types swimming, biking, running.

LP.

Summer in LP

You gotta like summer in LP; plenty to do and really nice this time of year (like all times of year.

The Community Lake is open with new hoops court, water slide, jungle jim and the best stretch of sand north of the Jersey Shore. And it costs a small fee for any resident family...so get down and enjoy.

Memorial Day in LP

Hot. We went from winter to summer with a week of spring.

Parade yesterday. Looked a little lite. No council members in the parade at all. Guess they had something better to do. Saw the Cub Scouts, Girls Scouts,PAL, Fire Co's, EMS, marching bands, etc. No members of council though.

Still hiding?

What is going on at Boro Field

There are the light poles laying down on wooden saw-horses for at least the last 2 weeks. Not safe. See kids running around, guys playing softball on the weekend.

God Bless

Anybody who is in the way of the water. Hope you are all safe and sound.

Floods This Year

Keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed that we can weather the storms (no pun intended) and keep high and dry.

Lots of dire forecasts yesterday, seemed to be a non-event.

Spring around the corner.

The Gov

Coming to good ol' LP on Tuesday 2/15 for a Town Hall Meeting at the PAL Community Center.

Maybe I can go.

Thought There Was No Money

Nice raise. You know who.

LP Fun Night at Spa 23

There is a Fun Night sponsored by the Rec Dept. at Spa 23 in P.Plains tonight from 6-8.

We here at the Watch are big supporters of anything that gets the kids out and doing something beyond video games. So if you can get down there, get down there.

Otherwise sign up for some PAL sports - baseball/softball signups are at the end of the month.

2011 in LP

Even though it started a couple of weeks ago, happy new year to all of LP.

Waiting for Chris Christie to shake up the pension system so we can push some of the dead weight out of the Municipal Building (that cost $23MM or so).

Adios to them.
