Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

WEST CALDWELL TWP. The Caldwell-West Caldwell Board of Education voted Monday to authorize a special school district election on Tuesday, Dec. 9, on a proposed school facilities project bond referendum.

Superintendent James Heinegg said he plans to give a brief overview of the proposed project during next weeks Board of Education meeting on Monday, Oct. 13. No information, such as the size of the project or the estimated cost, will be released until then.

Board of Education President Mary Davidson also said that more information about the facilities bond referendum will be provided during upcoming Home School Association meetings, district elementary school family nights, and over events, as well as through the district website and newsletter. A final presentation for the public will take place at James Caldwell High School on Wednesday, Nov. 12.

In addition to further details on the facilities bond referendum, next Mondays board meeting will also include recognition of faculty and student achievements and National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists, as well as a superintendents report on district standardized test scores.

Interim Business Administrator/Board Secretary Mark Kenney filled in for Kerry Keane, who resigned from the position back in August. Thomas Lambe, formerly of the Ho Ho Kus and Hopatcong school districts, will take over as the new business administrator/board secretary starting Monday, Oct. 27.

Seeds Of Discontent

In other business, when the floor was open to questions from the public, Kevin and Terry Murray of West Caldwell expressed concerns about workers seeding the field and operating machinery and moving vehicles at Jefferson School while children played on the playground and other areas in close proximity. They also inquired if any chemicals were being used around the children.

Buildings and Grounds Supervisor Frank Ennis told the Murrays that no chemicals were used, just water, grass seed, and a paper mulch product. He said that the crews use equipment designed to prevent flying debris, and that the workers are instructed to keep at least 15 feet away from students on the grounds.

If there is a turning blade, there is a potential for some rock or something to ricochet. If something happens to someone, then you will need another bond referendum to pay for the damages, said Kevin Murray.

Kids are curious about what is going on. What if an impulsive child is playing ball on the grass? Weve seen trucks show up at 8:45 and 11:45 no less than three times a week, said Terry Murray.

The Tri States own "Sultan of Sod" puts his work on display for the nation to see during the ALCS

Monroe City native Curt Mayes is now in his eighth season as a groundskeeper with the Kansas City Royals....but is just now experiencing his first ever MLB Postseason on the job. /KHQA Sports File

ROYALS FEVER: A "GRASS ROOTS" PERSPECTIVE OF THE ALCS WITH MONROE CITY NATIVE/KC ROYALS GROUNDSKEEPER CURT MAYES

For the first eight years of his career, Monroe City native Curt Mayes was a little like the CPA who was told to go ahead and sit out Tax Season.

You see, his employer, the Kansas City Royals had this nagging thirty year inability to play their way into a postseason...which left our guy Curt, a rising young groundskeeper, with little more to do in October than watching the unused grass grow at Kauffman Stadium.

Business has, as you might expect,picked up considerable for Curt and crew.

Preparing The K for an All Star Game in 2012may have been Curt'sprevious career highlight, butit is a whole new ballgame now.

Curt Mayes via Phone: "This week we will have the ALCS Game Number Three on Monday. Major League Baseball umpires will come out Monday Morning and inspect all our mounds to make sure the slopes are correct, that we measured bases. We will do all that. And then on top of that is, we also have to paint all the logos. We want the outfield, all the grass and everything, to be perfect. There's much more that goes into it just because everyone is watching."

Since 2007, Kauffman Stadium has been Curt Mayes' everyday office. But until now, he's never gotten a chance to experience this place...or this city through this kind of postseason prism.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) - When Michael Barnhard took his car in for service at Southfield Chrysler, he assumed his car was going to be taken care of.

When his Chrysler 300 turned up stolen, he assumed since it was under the dealership's care it would be responsible.

Instead, Barnhard said the incident has cost him about $4,000 with insurance after the vehicle was damaged, recovered and impounded.

"Sept 12th I took it in for warranty issues and then the next week they called me and said they couldn't find my car and they believe it had been stolen," Barnhard said. "I asked where are my keys and (I was told) the keys were gone with the car and they think it might have been an inside job."

Barnhard filed a police report and two days later his car was found and an arrest made - but not before $11,000 in damage was done to the car.

"They had driven through the fence and one of the windows was smashed in," Barnhard said. "There was interior damage where they ripped out the center console and the tires and rims were gone as well."

Barnhard says he had to pay to get his car out of the impound, rent another car, and pay for the repairs.

Barnhard is a firefighter in Harrison Township on a fixed income. He said he is loyal to his department and the Chrysler brand.

"I can't believe it that this is how they treat their loyal customers, he said, adding that he shouldn't have to shoulder this burden alone.

"They were negligent," Barnhard said. "No different if I didn't shovel my sidewalk and someone tripped on it. I wouldn't say you got health insurance so good luck. No I would be held liable for that."
