When I used office, I used address as "office." You did get me, on that one. Alley and street use were legal. hallways was oked, but admittedly abused.
And like the Senior Center I admitted it.
City Hall banned the papers, the Senior Center did not, for those keeping score.

Even the Fire Department told you it was not "okay." Yet, you did not listen to them either.

So, the Senior Center did not ban the paper. How about what is going on at the Westerly? Seniors are allegedly being threatened by Curt Brosky that they are not allowed to read the Observer or talk about the hospital issue.

I see Curt often, they advertise and are continuing their ads.
If anyone is being threatened they should go to the authorities.

Didn't Corey's non-profit ban Save Lakewood Hospital from having a table at their event at Lakewood Park, and then have to refund their money? Sorry for the thread drift. I have been hearing rumors and thought maybe someone could clear it up for me. Thanks.

From a recent post, another thread.

I don't understand why Save Lakewood Hospital keeps bringing this up - the more you look into it the worse Save Lakewood Hospital will look.
For example:
Here is a snippet of how one of my two telephone conversations with Save Lakewood Hospital went while discussing whether Save Lakewood Hospital should be allowed to be represented at the event...
Save Lakewood Hospital: "Those idiots at Jordan's Family Foundation don't know me from my organization, they only know the organization. I will just submit as myself, they can't refuse me then."
Me: "Okay, let me know how that goes for you."
(A personal registration was never submitted.)
That about nailed the coffin shut in JFF's decision making process.
In the same telephone conversation, Save Lakewood Hospital accused Lori Allen of making the phone calls to our charity's sponsors because, according to Save Lakewood Hospital, Lori Allen is "crazy" (Save Lakewood Hospital's word, not mine) and that sounds like something Lori Allen would do.
Keep in mind that JFF has to determine each year whether organizations fit the event or not. Take for example our hardest decision to date, until all the facts were laid out. Early in the event's history a beverage company came to us and offered $2000 (four times the highest sponsor amount and well above this year's Save Lakewood Hospital's registration amount) to participate in the event. JFF told them that they were not a fit for a children's heart-healthy event unless they could show some info about the company (the beverage was new at the time). They came back and offered $2000 plus they will give a logo (their own logo) patio umbrella to each organization to keep them in the shade at our event (rough value $1500). Again JFF told them no, unless they provided more info. Then JFF called several nutrition centers and children's hospitals to ask if the product was safe or beneficial for kids. All responses came back as "no, it is not safe for kids." It turns out that the beverage was closer to being considered an energy drink that anything else. Easy decision, they were out. It would have been great to have the money but it would not have been the right decision. JFF could not be "bought." That is true again in this case, but it was only for $100. Once the conversations were had, JFF could not be "bought."
When speaking with other non-profits and health professionals they have always admired decisions JFF has made. They agreed with our decision this time as well.
It was a shame for our event that both organizations could not be represented, but in the end Save Lakewood Hospital made it easy for JFF to decide.
Save Lakewood Hospital insults me, calls me names, Save Lakewood Hospital insults the charity, call the charity names and continue to do so and wonder why Save Lakewood Hospital was not able to be represented at our event. Save Lakewood Hospital is still welcome to contribute and donate as Jordan's Family Foundation continues to make strides in the fight against heart disease.

Jim,
How do you suppose that the seniors who are being allegedly threatened by Brosky and Staff go about reporting them? Seniors are allegedly afraid of losing there place to live. Just because a person advertises in the Observer does not make it right to allegedly threaten the disabled and elderly. I believe there was a similar occurrence there during the last election?
Perhaps someone else could look into this and help them out.
