and, if these two students had been banned from playing at all the night then perhaps this incident would have never have happened but nooooooooo......

Nice. One would think football players would be walking on eggshells right now. Clearly not. You would think Monaghan in particular would be on his best behavior. He clearly has no respect for authority and no shame for the situation he's in right now.

Wayne School District makes the media again. Thanks Wayne Hills, you're on a roll.

This is what happeds when kids are sent the wrong message...they continue their bad behaviors...unbelievable! This child's mother should make sure he doesn't play football until he can learn to behave properly.

We have already seen that anything can be done to anyone in the wonderful world of Olsen/Wayne football. When will someone take control of this town!!!

Everyone please send an email to the BOE members Boardmembers@Wayneschools.com and ask how many frequent fighter miles does this punk have to earn before they suspend this bully. Can't wait for Olsen or the rest of the kool aid drinkers at Hills High School to come to his defense!!

I think they should attach that air horn to Margret's golf cart. She drives that thing like an old Panzer tank. She's a pair of M-38 resistal googles short of looking like Telly Savalas ( Kojak ) in Kelly's Hero's.

Yet another shinning moment for Wayne Hills and its players. This continues to prove that one can not make chicken salad out of chicken crap. The kid is trouble and most everyone knows that. Im sure later on down the line we will be reading about Mr Monaghan in the future. I can only imagine just how proud the coach and his parents are of him... Coach Olsen has the former owner of the Oakland Raiders motto. "Just win baby"...Smart move in Mr Monaghans parents getting Kal Giest for his lawer. Mr Giest has already said that his clients arm was in a sling during the fight?? LOL. Was his arm in a sling when he blasted the air horn too? Just wondering LOL..

Also, please e-mail or go to site www.njsiaa.org. to offer info or opinions regarding disciplinary proceedings for exclusion of Hills and Olsen from interscholastic play.

Nice. I see that these kids not only have no respect for their peers, they weren't raised to respect adults, especially teachers. Really disgusting. I am sure they all have their line of excuses for all these incidences and will never have any remorse or need to apologize. This should be a wake up call for all parents (including me) to reevaluate our parenting skills. You don't want your child to be a Lane or Monaghan.

Lock down in cell block 8.

KID'S i.e. toddler, tyke, rug rat, schoolboy, weanling, brat, devil, hellion, imp, jackanapes, mischief maker, rapscallion, rascal , rogue, whippersnapper, teener, teenybopper, lad, nipper, tad, bobby-soxer, tomboy, moppet, squirt, bambino.
When you refer to "students" as kid's, your promoting their actions. Your saying you don't condone the actions because you understand who they are, what they are, and why they do what they're doing.
When you call them "kid"s", don't cry when they act like one.

What happened to him immediately after this happened? Were they sent to the dean? Was this great "captain" reprimanded? No, he playing in the game again that night...SICKENING!

Scondo, the report actually says:
"According to the report, teacher Marina Cangialosi was on duty in the stands during the Friday rally and noticed that student Joe Lane, also a football player, had something in his hand hidden behind his back. Cangialosi asked Lane, 18, for the item, but he resisted giving it to her. The report states that Lane tried passing it to Monaghan, who was next to him, but Monaghan also refused to give the item to Cangialosi. Cangialosi asked for the item again. Lane is quoted in the report as saying, “Mrs. Cangialosi, look, it is only an air horn.”
So yes, he was identified...the teacher knows who blew the horn in her face.

The state championship game is scheduled for Dec. 3rd. Let's see if the can gets kicked down the road a little more. I would not expect a decsision to made before then. This whole situation has gotten completely out of control. This air horn incident would not even be news if the the proper action was taken back in October. Remember that? It is pretty obvious that the game has gotten more importatnt than anything else. The coaches, the principal the boe and the parents all have their agendas. It is just too bad when this happens. When one school get all the attention for all the wrong reasons. There are a lot of good people who go to Hills and they are getting a bad rap. But I guess that is not what is about. Let's make a decision after the game is played.

One of the sad realities is that there are so many boys on this team that are working hard, staying out of trouble and are actually very good kids. It is a shame they are being disgraced by their teammates.

How were they allowed to play on the game a few hours after this incident? Olsen was not aware? Laughable. We are all fools

And to the parents worried about all of the cost of the lawsuits if the kids were not allowed to play..... If this lady has any permanent eye damage she should sue everyone invved including the entire BOE . An alleged felon out on bail and roaming the halls. Priceless

Don.t rush to judgement, innocent until proven guilty, none of you know what really happened, Wait til all facts are in, two of those accused weren't even there, let the justice system take its course, what about teacher's actions?, teacher shouldn't be driving with blurry vision, I'm glad but amazed that she could drive herself with serious eye injury.I heard she was out of E.R. in two hours, Not Coach's fault, team has dress code, Coach helped alot of players,Don't blame the parents, Not in school, Not on school grounds, Not during regular school activity, Pep rally isn't educational, so teacher wasn't a teacher and students weren't students. Etc.

An Olsen TweetsCarolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen took to Twitter Wednesday night to criticize police, the Wayne schools chief and the media, hours after nine members of his alma mater's football team were suspended from extracurricular activities in the middle of a playoff run.

The nine Wayne Hills players are accusing of assaulting two Wayne Valley students.

In a tweet directed at a reporter for the Bergen Record newspaper, Olsen wrote, "hope u feel good. 9 kids who haven't even had a chance to defend themselves have been found guilty bc of witchhunt. ... led by u and people who have no knowledge of the situation. A wrecklass police chief and a coward board super. What a joke."

Olsen, a first round pick of the Bears in 2007, was a first team All American as a senior at Wayne Hills. His father, Hills coach Chris Olsen, finds himself down nine players as his powerhouse team looks to defend its state championship.

It's amazing that everyone can have so much to say from an article that clearly states Andrew Monaghan did not take possession of the air-horn and that the teacher stated the student that had it, did not intend to hurt her when he activated it.
As John Wayne stated: Teacher's should not be driving with blurred vision. Nothing in the article states the air-horn was illegal, or used for the purpose of creating an injury.
Nobody has been suspended, and this is just another non-issue filled with baseless inuendo.
The phyicial trainer conficated the air-horn and duck taped it on her golf cart. That's all you need to know.

Joe V - Article says Andy refused to turn over air horn to teacher, How do we know she was a teacher? How could Monoghan, Lane. or several unnamed minors know if she was certified? We'll sort it out at closed door BOE attorney's presentation.

I would love to know what kind of excuses are used in the classroom for failed assignments , bad test scores, etc. By these kids and parents. Does "coach olsen's dog ate my homework" work for multiple players?

the teacher didn't think the football player was intentionally trying to hurt her, but it was still an aggressive act.

Dory - the standard is "objective intent" Would a reasonable person know that blowing an outdoor airhorn in face would cause injury? Legally it doesn't matter what was Lane's subjective intent.

and Dory it may not have been done with the intention of hurting but it is a disrespectful act...no respect for authority or elders.... an act in my day would never have been tolerated...but when you tolerate leaving beaten kids lying beaten and unconscious on the roadway what do you expect?

Dory & George - I'm on your side. Lane is responsible regardless of his actual intent because a reasonable person knows that hornblowing in face will cause injury.

The teacher involved is a neighbor of mine Monaghan had the air horn when the assault happened. She drove to the hospital with one eye closed. By the way she is a very nice women. The two people who were shot at Casey O Tools drove themselves to the hospital. I think this teacher could drive herself.

Michelle - thanks for clarity. Yesterday a poster stole your name and posted that "she" is related to the hornblower. That;s how rumors start.

@John Lynch: Don't you find it amazing how the actions of the victim are being questioned? LOL..If stupidity were music, some of the people would be an orchestra.

www.njsiaa.org

@ Dory understood...I was just trying to embellish your point

@John Wayne...then there must be two ppl posting with that name then becasue you keep flip flopping.

They are really out of control now, but that's OK if they get suspended it will be over with before the Dec 2nd game so they are good. This is just getting sadder by the minute.

I was the loudest one cheering at the Wayne Hills game for the last 8 years. I never missed a game. I am no longer interested in going to the games and supporting these kids and coach. I will not be at the Meadowlands beacause I can not support kids who beat kids and leave them in the street and have no respect for authority. I guess I will save money this year on parking and admission. Wonder what the number will be for people at the game. Better question I wonder how many will be rooting for Wayne Hills????

Wayne Hills teachers question their leadership, why, because they put Olsen and the team before an injured teacher.

This news site is crap, when do we start to drag people's names in the mud and they haven't even been charged with a crime. Why would you publish people's names and no charges of any kind are filed. Do you also report every other accident that happens in every high school or do you just have an issue with Wayne Hills kids? Shameful reporting, get out of the business, you sir, give journalists a bad name!

But DEAR ABBIE. They HAVE been charged. Where have you been? They may not have been convicted YET but they HAVE been charged..Seems YOU, abbie have selective memory. Article CLEARLY states that 1 adult and 8 minors HAVE BEEN CHARGED. Bet we ALL know who you are TRYING to support here..But anyway, NICE TRY abbie.

Hey eyes wide shut, the article here is about an air horn accident not anything else and the article clearly reads that they have not been charged, maybe keep the eyes wide open and don'g bring in your biases about other incidents

@abbie I couldnt agree with you more!

everyday now seems like April fools day when dealing with WHHS and the Wayne BOE. So Abbie, now an article cannot be written about anybody until they are charged with a crime>? You're stretching this a bit dont you think? Don't worry, just give the thugs a few more days. I'm sure a crime is brewing that they will be charged for and then you will see some names in the paper. And then your next argument will be that th names shouldnt be in the paper without due process. And then the next excuse will be ............................................ANYONE SEE A PATTERN HERE?

Dearest abbie. So these 2 "thugs" need to be charged in order for it to be wrong? If the teacher was your daughter, sister, or mother would you think the same way? Sorry i thought you were being bias on the 9 players, my mistake, you were being bias on the 2 thugs that sent a teacher to the hospital. Please accept my deepest apologies for the mistake. So you feel they need to be "charged" before their names are exposed huh? hmmm and im bias? Nice try Dear abbie.

From outside the school, it must have been very confusing for the unmarked police detectives posted in the parking lot. A teacher comes running out holding her hand over her eye, jumps in her car and speeds away, while inside the school the students are yelling, screaming, and tootin on air-horns.

School principals calling his students "kids", teachers speeding around town with only one eye open, parents blaming children for everything that is wrong with their educators. What's next ? Are we going to blame the students for the sodium intake everyone is going to endure over the Thanksgiving Holiday ?
It's not they're fault, the students are the victims. They need to be nurtured, and be provided all of the opportunities for a healthy and spiritual development that will play a part in their building of a civilization of peace and understanding.
Our own actions need to reflect these teachings.
Raising children that will become champions of justice requires everyone to grow and develop oneself, at the same time.
Our students are honest, and discipline. It's time to connect with them as parents, adults, mentors, teachers, neighbors and friends.
Some of you may not want to help these students achieve their goals for what-ever reason. Maybe it's because your not part of a family, or have no family values. Maybe you were neglected as children, I don't know. All I know is that when the lights come on, these stars will shine.

Kathy. as Joe stated. "All i know is that when the lights come on, these stars will shine"..
He sounds like he spends month long vacations in the stratosphere.

Fox News

http://video.foxnews.com/v/1289848115001/teen-football-players-charged-with-assault-allowed-to-play

This site is sickening.
The media, specifically this web site has consistently overplayed, if not manufactured the Wayne Hills/Wayne Valley rivalry aspect of the original incident on 10/29. Yes two participants in the altercation were students from Wayne Valley and the others were students from Wayne Hills. This fact was more coincidental than the cause of the altercation. Responsible members of the media and adults in this community should not be portraying/creating an unhealthy adversarial relationship between our two high schools where none exists!
Further, the wholesale indictment of a Football program and Head Coach as somehow at the root of this is asinine. To disparage an entire program and team of student athletes based on the unproven alleged actions of a few is ridiculously unfair and off base. As the parent of a son who has participated in football, I can attest to the tremendous number of very positive lessons our youth take from participating in organized competitive sports. Perhaps the lessons of hard work, dedication, commitment to excellence and a healthy competitive spirit are qualities that some in our society find passe'...
When all the facts are in let the proper consequences be applied to the individuals who are found to be guilty...in the meantime lets not rush to judgment and drag the reputations of these students and the quality program they participate in through the mud!

i do agree that many of these innocent members of the team are having their repuatations sullied but that really falls on Olsen more then anyone else. If he just punished the kids involved this would have went away a long time ago. Now it is guilt by association. these deviants let their entire program and teammates down by not taking responsibility and by having their coach not demand responsibility. That'sife. They are all a "family". Unfortunately you re judged by who is in your family and how they abide themselves. maybe it is time for the innocent parties to take their team back.

Where's Bravo TV- The Parents if Wayne, and in the intro they can hold a football- we can broadcast Wayne's parental dysfunction for the whole world to see!

@john and ira: see it was an accident were are your apoliges it says right in the article it was an accidet!!!

Apologies now I DEMAND THEM!!!!

Apologies now!!!

now do you relize how Ridiculous you all sound!

@still in town 78:
Accident or not, the students in question were still insubordinate to a figure of authority in the school district, as well as borderline disrespectful. While the rivalry in the town, and on the internet now, regarding the original (unconnected, for all intents and purposes) incident, it does not mean that people can't question why a student implicated in a serious crime would behave so callously.

You can demand apologies all you want, where is the apology to the teacher from the student's family, or from those 9 implicated students' families to the two beaten boys?

I still hold true- if the 9 had been benched in the Vernon game, I doubt this would have blown up the way it did.

This is not a crime and should not be turned into a witch hunt. The school encouraged participation in spirit week and rightly so. The kid made a mistake by blowing the horn in a teacher's face - he meant no harm. These are high school kids having fun at a school sponsored rally not crack heads robbing people to feed their habit. Relax.

Good point on all accounts Former Valley Girl- accidents do not make the behavior beyond punishment. This behavior is considered insubordination- read the report by the student resource officer- the student refused to listen to the teacher- that alone is punishable in a school setting- per district policy!
We as parents sign off that we have read the school policies every year- I guess the rules are different for some people

@Former Valley Gal not disagreeing at all they should be careful what they say and do but at the same time the same people "john and ira" saying read the the news articles these students are serial killers still have something to say when an article says something was an accident. kinda funney aint it. maybe everyone should stop being so anti wayne hills and start being pro justice system i dont see John or Ira saying the number went from 9 to 7 to 3 and one of them was in a sling and was punched in the face prior to the reported start of the fight. john and ira just tend not to pay attetion to those articles cause they dont promote their cause!!!

This story has now hit the news papers and is on Fox news for ALL to see. I think that we should now demand that Olsen and every member on the Board be sent packing before this Township becomes a place that no one wants to be a part of. This is out of control!!!

the kid was in a sling? so what? his legs and his workboots still worked didnt they? And how serious was his injury that he has not missed a game and played a few days later? He couldnt have slipped out of that sling for a few shots could he have? s that really the defense now? APOLOGISTS UNITE there is a new defense.
And now somehow disrespecting a teached is apologized away . If i was already in serious trouble and licky to be playing after the BOE gave me a reprieve 10 or so hours before this incident I would just sit down and shut up and do as i am told. RESPECT is the issue and when the coach does not demand it how can the players?

Can the WHHS football apologists at least admit that these kids are guilty of something? anything at all? give me a crumb please so i dont continue to think your brain has not shutdown altogether. How about I agree these kids let down their teammates by not separating themselves from a possible volatile situation? ACN you at least admit that that might be true??

So, the teacher is a Valley parent? Clearly the situation was contrived.

he's awesome...u can sleep in his class and still get an A+

vic dipasquale( gym teacher punches somebody on school grounds) becouse someone was doing a skit of him entertaining girls in his gym office. he could not handle the skit this punching the student - it on tape- you tube
he lose coackhing girls soccer/ vollyball /baseball jobs the now nave him teaching in eastbrook 5thru 8graders( wheres child welfare dept.) and he got cought stealing school fund from carwashs he had about every weeking(built adition on his/sister house with money) he a convicterd felon still teching gym. talk about the state lawa protecting our students
meanwhile janis dime (superintendent)got fired for hide information about tainted soill in paramus. (election year)
i think vic dipasquale should go get a teaching job at wayne hills so he can punch student / teachers esp. olsen (them to have a lot in common in coverups)

good work paramus board of education for keepinf vic in board hope he dous not punch another student - who cares look john corzine is still walking free he only stole at last count 600 billion from investers. whats fat boy/ da doinng in nj eating turkey counting the years till pension kicks in.

state welfate /abuse committe works good
lets hire obamas super committe - let them decide

Stillintown78 is more concerned about an apology from me because I stated the hooligans were guilty of disrespect and insubordination. Have the hooligans ever apologized for their offenses which actually have affected other human beings lives? Nice priorities

Do all the football players get to use "coach Olsen's dog ate my homework" as an excuse in class? Seems excuses get practiced pretty regularly and trump responsibility and accountability . Maybe they learn this from their parents and not Coach? Maybe both? Someone should take credit for building then into what they have become

Dan,

Wayne hills football Facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wayne-Hills-High-School-Football-Team/107211442643206

This is on Wayne Valley's website under the Athletics Dept:
Conduct of Athletics:
A firm and fair policy of enforcement is necessary to uphold the regulations and standards of the athletic department. The community, school administrators and the coaching staff feel strongly that high standards of conduct and citizenship are essential in maintaining a sound program of athletics. The welfare of the student is our major consideration and transcends any other consideration.

All athletes shall abide by a code of ethics which will earn them the honor and respect that participation and competition strives to achieve. Wayne Valley Athletes should exemplify good school citizenship through the following:

Classroom behavior
Code of dress
Conduct at school functions
Conduct on buses, in the locker room and at opposing schools.
Behavior outside of school
STUDY habits conducive to academic success
ADHERE TO TRAINING RULES- The NJSIAA has established sportsmanship as their #1 priority in 2003-2004. It is expected our athletes will adhere to all NJSIAA rules including those of sportsmanship.
I cannot find anything like this on Wayne Hills website. I guess that's why the players, their parents, the coach, and the BOE can justify letting the players play & letting this whole situation get out of hand. THEY HAVE NO RULES! Wayne will not heal until the leaders of our town do the right thing. Bench these players. Let the healing begin.

I think its clear, no one got the memo on a code of conduct at the BOE of Wayne.

rocketjsquirrel do your homework. Check the facts. I didn't add "Behavior outside of school". Here's the link http://www.wayneschools.com/schools/high/waynevalley/athletics/

squirrel - even if behavior outside of school was not listed (it is!) does that mean good behavior outside of school should not be adhered to? so whats your response or excuse now? maybe they cant read or understand so actually the reading teachers are at fault for the poor behavior.

Let's simplify this for those who are having trouble......

9 on 2 and leaving them unconscious in the street- wrong.
Not giving kids a time out when the've acted badly- wrong.
Encouraging same kids to act defiantly at a BOE meeting instead - wrong.
Bragging about what you got away with on a public internet forum - wrong.
Being disrespectful to an adult - wrong.
Recklessly thrusting an object close to someone's face and setting it off - wrong.

dory - were you there? did you actually witness all of these things because if you didnt then they did NOT happen.. kinda like the "if a tree falls in the woods....."

If the police charged the kids then they should be suspended until the matter is cleared up legally. Period. No preferential treatment for any reason, sports or otherwise. The statement made by Coach Olsen that their Friday night was taken away from them is reflective of a self important attitude. Please Coach, help raise good people and make that more important than being a good athlete. Make them learn the responsibility for their actions at all times in all places.

Since when do students have rights? Witnesses? What the heck are you talking about? So now every infraction has to have a trial? Students have almost no rights when it comes to school discipline and extra-curricular activities. So if my son gets suspended for cutting class or cheating on a test he will have a trial with witnesses in school?? Do you even listen to yourself?

At the end if the day ladies and gentelmen... The charges Are aggravated assault!!! The fact that the school and the BOE of Ed isn't going after the kids, dosnt mean the 2 kids parents are not... They have the DA working for them... There's no fees for that...but the 9 have there lawyers already!!! Arrgaravted assault stays on your record till the end boys !! Every college and future employer will see it when they do a background check!!! I hope it stays in the news for we can all see it.. Plus don't forget the physical damages...

Ok.. Lets turn this around... a teacher blows an air horn in a students face - inches away... the student goes home tells the parents his vison is blurry and said a teacher blew and air horn in my face... CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THE PARENTS WOULD DO? Demand a Suspension of the teacher! Call the BOE! Call The Principal... What happens here... NOTHING -This principal is a joke -

another "no comment' from whhs principal..of course. maybe he is a mute

http://video.foxnews.com/v/1289848115001/teen-football-players-charged-with-assault-allowed-to-play

Ira I do agree with you they aren't 100% totally innocent. No one in this entire town who has anything to say about this whole situation is innocent including the media But. As of right now while I'am replying to you the thing that you can say that any Wayne hills football player is most guilty of right now is just that playing football for Wayne hills... if it was any other group of students that allegedly did this the whole thing would have been over by now! Can any of you at least admit to that????

Driving oneself to a hospital is not unusual, although not prudent.
My question is: why Chilton when St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital is much
closer to Wayne Hills High School?

That I know chilton is the township non life threatening care center. So in other words unless your critical you go to chilton. But I agree with Phil that is taking a risk driving your self to the hospital. If the teacher gets into an accident who's insurance pays for the damages? Even if someone decided that an ambulance was not needed someone from administered should have drove them.

This should be handled under workers compensation insurance, provided by the BOE. Interesting is that the workers compensation insurer can go after the responsible party.(Subrogation) Danny Lane is 18, no longer considered a minor. This may not be covered under the Lane's homeowner insurance policy as it can be considered an intentional act. The teacher also has the right to civilly sue Danny Lane as well. I'll tell you this. If I was Danny Lane, Andrew Monaghan, or any others that were charged, my parents would have handled this in a manner that there would be no need for the BOE or Coach Olsen to get involved. I would have been grounded for LIFE. No football, no nothing. My father and mother were the judge and jury. There was no DUE PROCESS in my home. Maybe our adult school should start offering PARENTING 101. Looks like some of our parents in this town need it!

Agreed Wayne Res- and that is why the teacher probably went to Chilton- that is most likely where the district's Workman's Comp is covered- duh! How ridiculous, but not surprising to question the victim! This is exactly what is being taught to children- don't take responsibility for your actions- become your own lawyer, question everyone.

More national attention, or is this like Fox News, biased? http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobcook/2011/11/22/greg-olsens-dad-knows-how-to-show-his-football-program-is-bigger-than-its-high-school/

Thank God this is getting national attention! This is the only way that the overwhelming majority of WAYNE residents can have their voices heard.
Looks like the arrogant Mr. Olsen's past transgressions and current actions will finally have a consequence.

"Classless winner and lousy loser" Interesting how one writer identified Chris Olsen. Maybe we should bring in Joe Clark as our new superintendent who allegedly fired Olsen whan at Eastside, he refused to bench his players for cutting class or being disrespectful to teachers..

I agree with K above. If this were a group of non atheletes, they would probably be given the electric chair by our BOE trustees The fact that they are FOOTBALL players, and CHRIS OLSEN is the head coach, the rules are different. Well, so much for our highly and effective Board of Ed.

Three of the BOE members will be up for re-election in 2012. Lets see how many people remember this come elections. My guess is that as each of them is up for re-election, they will be replaced. I hope that during re-election time, their opponents bring these issues up.

I am not in any way blaming the teacher. She was doing her job but I just don't understand why she would drive her self and the administration would let her? That's a poor decision on everyone's part! I understand the eye injury would be a worker's comp claim but what would happen if she crashed? Who would pay for those damages? What would happen if somebody was injured in the hypothetical car accident?

btw....Forbes editorial. awesome!....

http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobcook/2011/11/22/greg-olsens-dad-knows-how-to-show-his-football-program-is-bigger-than-its-high-school/

What a sorry state of affairs for our community. We as citizens rely on our elected officials to do the the right thing but our school board has failed miserably. Have they considered the victims in this issue? How is it that the miscreants have been given such wide latitude ie. the benefit of closed door hearings? When will the voices of the victims be heard? Beginning with the beating of these 2 students, no one stepped up and did the right thing. Whoever was present at the beating, whether it was 9 or 6, did anyone step up and say it was wrong? Did Coach Olsen do the right thing when he was informed of the involvement of his players in an altercation? Could he not have benched his players? Our athletes and coaches should be role models and yet they stood by and did nothing. The BOE continues this travesty by looking the other way - when will someone stop this circus and DO THE RIGHT THING? Maybe they can start by immediately dismissing Coach Olsen. That is little solace for the victims but maybe it would prove to our community that someone cares enough to do the right thing.

WH teachers have signed a letter expressing their disapproval in the lack of leadership in their building administration.

If this is true, and I hope it is, I applaud the Wayne Hills teachers, for standing up and taking a stand on the deplorable course of events that have occurred over the last month or so. Thank you for having the guts to stand up to our gutless and ineffective administrators.

@ Former Valley Gal: YOU are right it is deplorable. Having a relative on the Paterson Police Dept. He finds it deplorable that a Wayne School is getting so much more NEGATIVE press than inner city schools now. Is it the students or is it the administration?

The BOE has always given Olsen whatever he wants in the name of a win, and have always been able to sweep the things they don"t like under the carpet. But it looks like this time none of them are going to get away with it because there are to many people watching. The time has come to clean out the system once and for all!! I agree with Wayne resident, they are all a bunch of gutless ineffective administrators running our schools and this Board is nothing short of one BIG JOKE!!! Get rid of all of them!!

there is some much more to come out regarding olsen. many many people have stories to tell but no outlet. how do they get organized? has nike been contacted yet regarding their sponsorship?

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS ARTICLE!!!

I read in FORBES comment that hornblower Lane was allowed to play friday night, suspended for one day after game was over, and will be dressed for dec. 3

Olsen MUST BE FIRED FOR MORAL INTERPITUDE....THE BOE MUST BE IMPEACHED....PAVLAK MUST STEP DOWN...CONFLICT OF INTEREST...THE LIST GOES ON

Where were all you people when a bunch of baseball players beat up a football player 10 years ago I didn't hear any outrage Then. It just makes me laugh how people are calling the football players thugs because its football. But no one wants to admit it goes both ways.. your all hypocrites!

still in town 78...I think you are making that story up or embelleshing it to suit your needs.

still in town 78 ....even if that story was true (IT IS NOT TRUE) should be just allow this to continue to happen in our town because 10 years ago there was an incident that was handled wrong? Lets just turn our heads and ignore it? c'mon you are putting me on? do you truly believe the cr*p that you spout?

Hey Wayne residents. Maybe a field trip to Matawan should be in order for your football players, BOE, administrators, and the beloved coach.
5 players suspended by the coach before a state game. Lordy, there is still sanity in NJ. You just have to go south of the Driscoll to find it.

http://www.nj.com/hssports/blog/football/index.ssf/2011/11/five_matawan_players_suspended_could_miss_state_sectional_final.html

Bravo Coach Martucci. Now thats a coach. Take notes Olsen.
TY Oldenhay, that lifted my spirits :)

What is happening in Wayne at present is very disturbing to me. I do not know all the facts in detail, however, current events in Wayne are giving the town a black eye, especially with all the newspaper coverage and the Fox News report. My thoughts:
1) A game can never be placed above anybody, any administrative body, bad behavior both on and off the playing fields, arenas, etc.
2) All people need to take full responsibility for their actions, whether good or bad, no excuses.
3) From what I am reading, Parents need to take a stronger role in the upbringing of their children and exercise discipline when appropriate, even if this costs the losing of a sporting event.
4) A coach in any sport can suspend players for bad behavior. You do not need the legal system for this.
5) In my opinion, a coach does bear some responsibility for the actions of his players both on and off the playing fields, ice rinks, etc.
6) I am sure a fair amount of the Hills football players have gone onto rewarding careers and are upstanding citizens. The same can be said about Penn State, however, we now see what greed has done for that program.
7) I would like to see thorough background checks before a hiring decision is made for any town position, this is commonplace in the private sector.

One thing is certain: if grownups didn't attach so much importance to a schoolboy's game, probably none of this would have happened.

8) I also feel that the entire Hills football team should not be thrown under the bus for the bad behavior of some of their team members.
I would like to see more emphasis placed on values such as respect, discipline, honor, character and sportsmanship. Maybe I am Naive and that is too much to ask for in this day.

From Wayne BOE website - regulations on expectations of student conduct.
Note Page 1, Section B, numbers 1,2,4,5,6

Page 2 Section C numbers 4,5,6 (accepting and acknowledging consequences for their actions

From pupil discipline/code of conduct regulations
Page 8 discusses detentions and suspensions. First one talks about defiance to a school employee and up to a 3 day suspension.

http://www.wayneschools.com/district/board_of_education/policies_and_regulations/documents/DistrictRegulationPupilDiscipline5600.PDF

Wayne BOE policy on suspensions. Bottom of page one paragraphs 6 and 7 address assaults on other students (para 6) or teacher (para 7). Assault on teacher calls for immediate suspension pending an expulsion hearing.

http://www.wayneschools.com/district/board_of_education/policies_and_regulations/documents/District%20Policy%20Suspension%205610.pdf

It may have been an accident and maybe it's not assault but do you get that the teacher asked them both to hand it over and they refused and then this kid put it up to the teachers face? By the way have you ever used an air horn? They don't just go off, you need to put a good amount of pressure on the handle or button. The airborne incident by itself maybe is not that huge but it speaks to a pattern of behavior....

Media does not give the news now it also makes the news. (Mrs Olsen, coach Olsen and the principal did not give the air horn to the kids or do I have to write a long letter for you dummies who just dont get it) If you dont think about the news that way then you probably still think Obama is a great president!

John M what are you referencing?

lol Im pretty sure we are all crazy on here

Chilton v St Joe's (NOT WAYNE GENERAL IN QUITE A FEW YEARS).
I agree St. Joe's Doctors can beat up Chilton doctors anytime anyhow.
Chilton is about the money honey
St Joe's is about the care dear

Hey, I hope the Chilton doctors don't come to the St. Joe's holiday party and cause trouble. They should know how intense the rivalry can get between these cross- town foes. There won't be a BOE to protect them from a beat down in the streets.

Judge just refused 12 year olds (?) home after throwing shopping carts unto person....yet, the town of Wayne allows these THUGS to roam free and victimizes the victim...Insanity

Now a football player blew an air horn into a teachers face after she told him to stop blowing it. He blew it in her face and she suffered an eye injury. This will of course lead to another lawsuit or the teacher being out on disability for her injury. This is what happens when we have a spineless BOE, Interim Superintendant and a gutless Mayor & Council who haven't said a word about all of this. Meanwhile our town is in the papers everyday and on the news. No one can understand how a Coach bullied the BOE and intimidated them to reverse the interims decision. Wayne Hills, the Coach and the students are getting all the bad publicity they deserve. If these players were benched none of this would be an issue at this point. Its disgusting how they have allowed a few individuals destroy a high schools reputation and that of the Township also. Where are you Mayor Vergano? You can come out from hiding and face the facts that the BOE and its former members who are now on the Townships governing body are destroying this town. Elections will come soon and you will all be voted out if the taxpayers have any common sense.

There go the property values
Into the sewer where they belong
God Bless Vergano and Rumana, the Heroes of this Insanity

Seriously, I wish the families of the Victims a Happy Thanksgiving in spite
of everything
We have your back

The individuals involved with this unfortunate he fight really know the truth. And rumors fly around town by people who assume or come to their own conclusion they are already persecuting the people involved and their families.The truth will come forward. The people of Wayne Township are divided Wayne "Hills side" and the "Valley side" of town this is not only absurd it's twisted.
Do we not all live in the same township? The Wayne Police Dept. and Mayor are doing everything to get to the bottom of this misfortunate mishap. Tensions are high people demanding for results and yelling for justice..it isn't making it easier for the police to do what's right. I can certainly understand the frustration of this dilemma.
Accountability will prevail on those individuals that are guilty we must let the judiciary system work. Innocent until proven guilty it's the way it works. One may voice an opinion, however, without proclaiming an already guilty verdict. It's not the way it works. The parents on both sides they must be distraught. I know I would be.They have a right to protect their families. As for the News Papers I must say that they are looking at the Wayne School system with a magnify glass.They're just looking for a good juicy story so they can sell their papers and they don't care who they walk on to get headline news. There are perhaps only of few decent reporters that want the truth to the story.

Thank you another voice of reason. Now everyone commenting on here will automatically claim you have no idea what your talking about and label you a "kool aid drinker!" whatever that is!

many on the "hills" side of town are appalled, embarrassed and sickened. this is not a hills v valley thing. it is right v wrong? if the 2 victime were from ramapo do you really think anyone's opinion would change?

im a kid from wayne and i KNOW. what happenned that night. the hills kids were in the wrong, point blank. i went to hills and actually had mrs cangialosi as a teacher. shes an amazing woman, teacher, and person and did not deserve the disrespect and absolute nonsense that went on that day. the kids are in the wrong. once again. its cut and dry. there is no debating. all of you "adults" sometimes look like the youngest of children. now come attack me for saying that but thats only because you find it true, i dont care enough to even check back on responses, but im sure you guys will. enjoy people!!!
