WATCH VIDEO HERE KENSINGTON, Md. - Public parks are usually the places where children go to have fun. But the town of Kensington just passed a new rule that bans kids over five years old from playgrounds during the daytime. "It's like a sad children's story," said Joe McPherson, headmaster of the Brookewood School. But it's no fable. The girls at Kensington's Brookewood School are banned from using a public park right across the street for recess "I don't think it's really fair because we're part of the community too and we want to play in the park," said Jill Collins, a fifth-grade student. The town council unanimously passed a resolution this week saying only caretakers with children five years old and younger can be in Reinhardt Park from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Since that resolution passed, Brookewood students have gone elsewhere for recess. "We like to use the park because it's big and we like to run around and play games," said Basia Syski, a fifth-grade student. The town manager says students using the park for recess created maintenance issues and damage. The town council asked the school to pay $4,000 a year to help with upkeep but never heard back. "Do a clean through trash pickup, lay mulch around the swings -- we could do that," said McPherson. "But pay $4,000? We just don't have it. We just don't have it in our budget." Brookewood's headmaster tells ABC 7 News it's a public park for all too use but Kensington's mayor disagrees. By phone he said the park is for taxpaying citizens -- not abuse by a private non-profit school. Tracy Wagner brings her toddler to the park -- a park she describes as rarely used. "Really is it that big of a deal to put some more mulch down? I don't know. That's my personal opinion. It's for the kids. The kids are using it," she said. The girls at Brookewood say they brought life to the park, a park they now watch sit empty. "I think it's silly that we can't use it," said Syski.

What an ignorant dick. Those kids' parents pay taxes like everyone else who lives in that community.
And take some union job? Can't have that.
Da' kids must not have attended Obinion's propaganda address.
They should go use the park anyways. Then if the mayor and his assholes object. Bury them in litigation.

What is this mayors phone number. I want to call him and give him a piece of my brain.

The mayor would probably call SWAT out on da' kids.
They are on shaky ground here blaming the school for being a vehicle by which children are brought together like they planned these offspring of taxpayers to do bad things to the city. Hey, it's either a public park or not, they have no gray area to work in as they pretend they do with this law. I hope they fight this in court, Because it it goes there, the city will lose.
Good then it can make international news.

Home phone # for Nazi mayor Peter C. Fosselman is 301 929 5399 Compliments of http://www.netdetective.net
Thank you much. I will be sure to call his office.

That's his "home" phone, LOL.
You have to wonder if they even consulted with the city attorney on this insane action.
That is even better. I will now retrieve my cellphone and give him a call.

Thanks for the NetDetective linkage.
Including your own? Why is your information something you would not want others to give out, but it is OK to give out information with zero constraints to whether it is ethical or not? Perhaps being dunned at home would hurt the effort to resolve this issue. So I fail to see the value of giving this guy's home phone number out. He believes in a self serving and stupid law, he didn't rape or kill anyone. Ruling on this please? I mean, are we here to start causing people severe grief in the context of their private lives, or is this a forum? Personally, if a forum becomes an active real life clown posse, then they might fine things like fair use posting of pieces harder to do, for starts. Just an observation, mind you.
I have nothing to hide. My records are spotless. My phone number is not listed on www.netdetective.com .. So, that's not part of the deal. Any info desired would be thru the private email.
That was an question meant rhetorically to try to invoke empathy for others. Have an answer for the harder issues I mention?
I'm still waiting for your answer to your comments regarding all the things that you like about the current administration.
Called 3 times and get sent to voicemail. You have any city council member phone number? Or if you can get me Obamas number there is some stuff I want to talk to him about.

Yes. Definately. They are the enemy. Of freedom that is.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Well, that should become obvious over time in the context of normal posting on this forum. Suffice it to say I like Barack Obama as a human being, and I have hopes that his Administration will be successful. I know it will hurt the chance of this being so if the Israeli problem is not addressed instead of being ignored or facilitated, so take that as an example why my personal feelings of the President and his administration is not a black or white issue. And black or white is how I sense your deflective question here on that topic is how you want things to be kept. In fact things in life seldom are. I come from a very liberal, yellow dog Democrat, and Catholic background. And this of course colors my thinking. That I think is actually what it is you are asking when you query me concerning Obama. Of course, as I am a member of the Pacific Green Party and in no way Christian, that complicates that now, doesn't it? ;-)
Thank you for your comments. So, as a result of your earlier remarks, I will only provide info from the www.netdetective.net site on public figures, as they are subject to public scrutiny.
Actually, free speech works because one is responsible for it. Which means that Constitutionally they can't shut you up, but they are within Constitutional purview to make you pay for your words, or even go after the vehicle you use to express yourself with. Fair use as a principle is very First Amendment and must be protected. If authorities determine that an entity is using fair use to spread private information meant to harm or discomfort them in the context of their personal lives, they are not shielded by the First Amendment from going after that entity used to communicate with. Their is nothing to be gained by giving the powers that be an excuse to attack free use generally or this 4UM specifically, so I do not agree with this tactic. And I have experience taking this stand too as an Earth First!er who has opposed and battled the Earth Liberation Movement because of what their tactics do to hurt environmental advocacy. It is alright to go after someone politically, but burning their lives down is as wrong as torching a USFS Ranger Station just because one hates clear cutting the forest.
Town council member Mary Donattelli 301 962 5356 The other town council members don't show any phone numbers, or have common names, which show more than one address and phone number.
In your opinion, would this be a good place to do tenant screening? For $18, I can get credit history, any evictions filed, and a criminal background check done from National Tenant Network. Which over the years has saved me from renting to some truly undesirable people.
This city made national news with their absurd ruling, they are public figures and must answer to the people.
Your full of shit. Where is this bogus in our constitution I must have missed it. Ok here is an example lamer. I heard that someone is having an affair. It was on someones secret myspace account say. I take that info and spread it all over the net. To the spouse, friends neighbors. I am pissed I want to make them uncomortable and I want to harm their reputation. That is protected free speech. All speech is protected dipwad. If you say something that isn't true then you could have a problem. Now bug off i have to call a city council person.

http://www.netdetective.net is $29.95 per month, unlimited searching with no added fees. You get current addresses, income, criminal history backround checks in all 50 states, phone numbers, nationality, number of people in household, death notices, and land, cell phone numbers, social security ### confirmations, and some email addresses too on a lot of folks.
Well, he-they have given no indication that they are not communicative if contacted using their work contact information. Home phone numbers given out with no thought to how it interferes with another's life with the intent of hurting them in retaliation for something like this is not ethical. What do you say if perhaps a recipient of your wrath has a young child who innocently answers the phone only to hear loud, angry and profane diatribe about something like this? One must evaluate tactics carefully before using them, and I don't see that you have done so here.
Thanks for the information. I think that my per search fee is better for me than a recurring monthly charge. I tell prospective tenants that I want them to live in the unit until they die, and that I want them to live to 200 years of age. Turn-overs and make-readies really hurt the bottom line.
Oh mike p l e a s e. As a satanist witch (all witches are satanists if they are knowing or stupid dupes) are the last one to lecture anyone on what is ethical. Or at least close to the last.

You do not do anything more then amuse me Stone. Satan just is not a concept or entity we deal with in my religion. Besides, here you are again trying to bait me. Good luck doing so. I've been posting a long time, about 14 years in fact on many forums and venues on the Internet. I've been flamed by the capable and dangerously articulate, as well as by people less so. Like you for example. Cheers, buddy, drink a beer and relax. ;-)
I would like one example. You haven't given any yet. Usurpers don't count.

That is because your master keeps himself hidden from you as not to encourage defections. He likes people that are willingly ignorant of truth. Do you know what truth is?

By phone he said the park is for taxpaying citizens -- not abuse by a private non-profit school.

"Do a clean through trash pickup, lay mulch around the swings -- we could do that," said McPherson.
"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410 (2006), is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the First Amendment free speech protections for government employees. The plaintiff in the case was a district attorney who claimed that he had been passed up for a promotion for criticizing the legitimacy of a warrant. The Court ruled, in a 5-4 decision, that because his statements were made pursuant to his position as a public employee, rather than as a private citizen, his speech had no First Amendment protection.
